Ep 7 – The Interrogation: From Victim to Suspect

🔍 “Imagine surviving a violent assault—only to become the prime suspect.”

In this gripping episode of Three Times A Victim, Bruce shares the devastating aftermath of his attack. What begins with a flicker of hope—police arriving, evidence found—soon spirals into a psychological and legal nightmare.

🚨 Key Moments in This Episode:
✔️ The initial police response that seemed to promise justice
✔️ The derealization and dissociation that numbed Bruce’s grasp on reality
✔️ The twist of accusation—as Bruce is treated like a criminal, not a survivor
✔️ A false confession, coerced through humiliation and psychological pressure
✔️ Ignored evidence that could have exonerated him
✔️ The painful shift from trusting the system to fearing it more than the attack itself

💔 This isn’t just Bruce’s story. It’s a searing look into how systems fail survivors—again and again.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains descriptions of assault, false accusations, and psychological trauma.
