He Wouldn't Turn Me Loose. The Sexual Assault Case of 96-Year-Old Miss Mary

Description

Get a cop out here, I'm hurt," pleads an elderly voice to the 911 dispatcher. "There's a maniac in the house." Although the distress call is muffled and chaotic, the facts of the case soon become horrifically clear: 96-year-old Miss Mary has suffered a brutal sexual assault at the hands of her grandson, Billy. As Mary later shares on camera and in the presence of victim advocates, Billy's attack was the culmination of years of systematic abuse, including theft, neglect, and forced servitude, all perpetrated by Billy and his wife. Additional interviews with Mary's advocacy team, and with the prosecutor who brought charges against Billy, shed light on the need for support and investigative services to address America's rarely discussed problem of elder abuse.
