1:16:01
say I'm a perjurer
or anything
1:16:02
but I did not observe
anything like that happening.
1:16:07
What I do remember is
1:16:08
the detectives putting me under
a lot of pressure to speak up.
1:16:11
And at some point,
I kind of broke down.
1:16:12
I started crying.
1:16:14
And when I started
to tell them things
1:16:17
I was telling myself
that it's not true.
1:16:21
I was telling myself,
"Just say this to them
1:16:23
in order to get them
off your back. "
1:16:32
I came across a document
1:16:33
regarding a group of children
from the Friedman case
1:16:35
who were in therapy
1:16:37
and it stated
that many of them
1:16:38
had absolutely no recollection
of the abuse
1:16:42
and there was some discussion
1:16:43
about whether hypnosis
would be a good idea now,
1:16:47
exactly what you're not
supposed to do.
1:16:50
It was the kind of therapy
1:16:51
that had a really good chance
of messing up kids' memories
1:16:54
and implanting false memories.
1:16:58
My parents put me
in therapy right away.
1:17:01
They put me in hypnosis
1:17:02
and tried to recall facts
that I had buried.
1:17:04
And that's how I first came out,
started talking about it,
1:17:07
just through being hypnotized
and everything
1:17:11
I recalled things
that I would bury.
1:17:13
I was able to talk about them.
1:17:15
For example, what would be
something that you recall?
1:17:16
The actual first time
1:17:18
I actually recalled
that I was actually molested.
1:17:23
Wow, I was actually molested.
1:17:24
I can deal with it now.
1:17:26
That was the first time.
1:17:27
And you recalled through
hypnosis the first episode?
1:17:30
Yes.
1:17:31
So tell me about that,
if you remember.
1:17:32
I don't remember much about it.
1:17:35
It was so long ago.
1:17:37
I just remember that
I went through hypnosis
1:17:40
came out,
and it was in my mind.
1:17:48
19-year-old Jesse Friedman
1:17:49
was arraigned on more than
198 additional counts
1:17:52
of child sexual abuse.
1:17:54
This brings the total number of
sexual abuse charges to 245.
1:17:59
Jesse was grossly overcharged
