  • Harsher in Hindsight: The episode shows a man falsely accused of rape after trying to help a drunken girl. He finds himself vilified in court, and is later murdered by the father of the girl. This resembles similar incidents happening from 2017 where men ended up having their lives ruined or worse due to false accusations. One such incident is the case of an Australian man who helped a woman who had car trouble and was repaid by her accusing him of propositioning her for sex. He found himself jailed for two weeks, jobless, divorced, and vilified, all because he wanted to help.
