I take it the TV show producer was doing this for the self-serving sake of his TV show (filming the murder) rather than out of being "helpful"? Sounds kind of like a Batman Gambit or related.
A girl was raped by her father's friend when she was 8. Now an adult, she expresses her wish to kill him. A producer of an In-Universe TV show gives her a hunting knife and sends her, alone, to confront her rapist. She does, indeed, kill him.
