God's Film Review- Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge
(God Through Anne Terri With The Holy Spirit)

When a young, mentally-handicapped girl, becomes the centerpiece in a film about sexual abuse and rape one can only hope it is only a story, based upon fiction.

However, In 1989 Glen Ridge, New Jersey, found themselves the center of attention, after the star players of the local Glen Ridge High School, football team were accused of gang rape. The film is based on an actual rape which occurred on March 1, 1989, and the trial which ran for 23 weeks. This left the neighborhood of Glen Ridge, pitted against one another both in and out of court.

The details of the rape are vicious, therefore I Choose Not to recount them here. The victim was unable to effectively stand up for herself in court as a viable witness due to her handicapped mental state.

First the rape case became a book written by Bernie Lefkowitz, and then later a film released in 1999, after many accounts of the event had been broadcasted nationwide by the media and press.

In the film version, the acting is superb, especially by Leslie Faber who played the innocent victim, whose real name was not used in the film to protect her, and by Ally Sheedy, who played Detective Kelly Brooks. The storyline showed well the corruptible way people tend to bury their heads in the sand, and find themselves in never-ending denial, while the innocent are made to suffer.

The wikipedia site states well ,the time-line of events, which eventually led to the convictions of Christopher Archer, Kevin Scherzer, and Kyle Scherze, and a fifteen year sentence in a "young adult offenders" prison.

The guilty boys now men, even after serving their time beginning in 1997- of which Kyle Scherzer's sentence was reduced to seven years- continued to appeal to clear their names. At this time, the convictions stand.


AMEN”
