Is the documentary called "The Rosa Peral Tapes" or similar? We saw that too. There's a lot that they kept out of the series as well, I guess because it's mainly entertainment. They were able to demonstrate both were actively and voluntarily involved, and it was planned.

In the trial and investigation, much more evidence came out than what the documentary "The Rosa Peral Tapes" says. That report is biased and is only based on her version, not on everything that came out at the time.

the level of slut-shaming a rosa peral in these tapes is astronomical, it is waaaaaay too loud
