Girl in Trouble
1 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Somewhat far fetched, in just how naive those in it are, made for TV movie about these three girls in their early 20's taking a trip to the notorious San Diego Mittner Cove for spring brake where anything goes who end up getting themselves good and smashed. And in the case of pretty 22 year old 2nd grade school teacher Emma Norman, Odette Annable, video taped supposedly doing it, having wild and crazy sex, with a number of the students partying there. It's later back home in Prairie Minnesota that a tape of the action is seen on the Internet with Emma looking both drunk and high on drugs moaning and groaning on the beach with an unidentified, his head is turned from the camera, and seemingly very happy and aroused young man.

In no time at all Emma's life is turned upside down losing her job as a teacher as well as having her boyfriend David the Fireman, John Baker, cut off all communications, on the phone & Internet, with her. Among Emma's other problems is her dad's business is torched and she' stalked by this degenerated who after seeing her on the net and how hot she is, and by thinking that she's easy, trying to get very friendly with her as well as getting into her jogging sweat pants. Feeling that she was set up in all this by a group of horny guys back at Mittner's Cove Emma tries to get proof that she in fact is not the girl having sex on the internet porno movie. Something that's so obvious in seeing that it's her head not her body, that's seen having sex on the video, on the tape that it can be proved by anyone not just photographic computer and video tape expert Mr. Raviphamai, Colin Mathura-Jeffree, that she traveled all the way to L.A to have him analyzed.

****SPOILERS*** With no one willing to help her Emma goes on her own doing a little detective work in tracking down those who video taped her without her consent to not only bring them to justice but clear her good name as well. In the end Emma gets justice in her own way but most of all convinces herself that she was a victim not a willing participant in the mess that she got herself into. Even though she had to break the law and an apartment filled with computers video and tape splicing machines to do it.

P.S The movie sadly depicts what's become so common in this computer and technical age in how easy it is to invade someone's privacy and use that information to be spread across the globe via the internet which knows no boundaries and, in those illegally using it, respects no laws.
