Duress pg 4: Charging Vicky
UNfortunately, Vicky has now been charged with several counts of prostitution.
Vicky surprised and worried
VICKY
Wait a minute, you can’t charge me with that!
Cop in military helmet
COP
Why not? You were intentionally having sex for money. That’s a crime in this state.
Vicky’s lower lip is trembling
VICKY
Because I did it under DURESS, that’s why not!
Vicky bawling
VICKY
They were going to kill me if I didn’t do what they said.
I had no choice!
