break. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is
the fact that they were caught on videotape. A Pandora's box
of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those
of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the
scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be
derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment.
