A riveting sexual drama chronicling the events that ripped a community and its families apart, Power to Hurt encompasses the landmark federal case against Judge Lanier, who was sentenced in April 1993 to 25 years without parole for having violated the civil rights of six women. The major political power in his region and heir to his father's political dynasty, Lanier arrogantly abused women through extortion, threats of reprisals, obscene telephone calls, stalking and rape.
Power to Hurt is the story of how eight women, at first too terrorized by Lanier to come forward, eventually found the courage to denounce him publicly and to ensure his sentencing. Most prominent among them was Vivian Forsythe, a divorced mother who overcame addiction and battled her own family to become the star prosecution witness against Lanier. Her strength of character and eloquent defense of women became the turning point in this precedent-setting case, with all its astonishing background, which is told here in fascinating detail and with exclusive photographs.
