This is why the defense has fought so hard to keep the facts about EA out of the courtroom. The truth is ugly. This is NOT some innocent child who just made a minor slip-up one night, but instead a predator who had done his best to present an image (including lying to everyone who knew him, whenever needed) that hid his predatory nature.

This takes me back to almost 2 years ago, when we started seeing his extensive lying being exposed. He was just too easy with the lies, too casual, for it to be something new to him. There was a past, that he had learned to hide with lies, and it makes me shudder that I still wonder if CM was his first victim, or whether she was just the first time he got caught.

Great testimony. Evidence of what harm EA's actions have caused to the community (a valid issue in sentencing), not of emotions. Also speaks to EA's refusal to tell where CM is, and its ongoing impact on lives.

I highly doubt he had interest in film history or was an art house film buff. Here is the 1975 film they referenced, which is based off the work of Marquis de Sade:
