Quotes
-
Judge Oscar Briggs : Due to the lack of sufficient evidence, I accept the defense's motion to set aside the jury's guilty verdict.
Evie Barnes : What's he doing?
Rafael Barba : Your honor, this is an outrageous abuse of your power.
Judge Oscar Briggs : Mr. Barba...
Rafael Barba : [as he approaches the bench] There is no basis to overturn this conviction. Her testimony, the corroborator's testimony...
Judge Oscar Briggs : You don't need to approach the bench.
Rafael Barba : Your honor, you are making a factual determination. That is the jury's job, not yours!
Judge Oscar Briggs : Sit down, Mr. Barba!
[turns to Evie]
Judge Oscar Briggs : Young lady, I don't know if you desire the recently popular status of victimhood or if this was a publicity stunt to jumpstart your porn career, but given the evidence, there is no way to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that your "no" in this incident truly meant "no." I hope going forward, you find a way to respect your body and yourself.
Evie Barnes : No, I wasn't lying!
Rafael Barba : [to Judge Briggs] What you are doing is giving men permission to assault a woman based on her sexual history. You're setting the clock back on rape law 50 years.
Judge Oscar Briggs : Last warning, Mr. Barba. I will hold you in contempt.
Rafael Barba : I'm making an immediate motion to appeal.
Judge Oscar Briggs : As is your prerogative.
[to Daniel Pryor]
Judge Oscar Briggs : Mr. Pryor, you are free to go.

Evie Barnes : [explaining her rationale for returning to porn after it led to her being raped by two co-eds and expelled from college] At least here, when I say, "Stop," they stop.
-
Evie Barnes : [in a video, holding a tablet with a text scroll] Because I chose to work in porn, two boys raped me. Because the judge didn't believe me, one of my rapists was set free. I didn't choose any of that. My choices were taken away. And now I only have one left. Goodbye.
