The Accused - Cheryl Ann Araujo (Patreon Exclusive Preview)
About this episode
On March 6, 1983, 21-year-old Cheryl Ann Araujo walked into Big Dan’s Tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to buy cigarettes. What followed was a nightmare: a two-hour assault on a pool table while a room of bystanders watched, cheered, and did nothing. When Cheryl chose to report the crime, she became the central figure in the first televised rape trial in American history, where her name and address were broadcast nationwide and defense attorneys subjected her to brutal victim-blaming cross-examinations.
