does not really...

express what I felt at that moment.

Could we have made...

with that blood...

an eternal pact?

From someone...

who wants you entirely...

Antonio. "

You've been indicted for violating

Article 213 of the Criminal Code.

Rape.

Records show that you went to

Maria Ins de Jesus' residence...

known in the art world as

Ins Torres Campana...

and, in an inebriated state...

forced her into carnal conjunction

by means of physical violence.

Is this true?

No, it's not true.

I'm in love with this woman.

I don't know why

she accuses me of rape.

Did you have a

relationship before then?

- Yes.

- It doesn't change things though.

A previous relationship wouldn't

give you the right of forcing it.

There are signs of physical

violence in the lawsuit.

We fought.

There were two distinct moments.

There was no rape.

There was...

...sex.

- Be objective!

I don't know why

she's accusing me.

She never spoke to me again.

Did you or did you

not force intercourse?

This is the opportunity for

you to defend yourself.

In the police statement,

Ins says you forced her.

She expelled you from her

house after you offended her.

She says there was no consent

for intercourse.

That's the point: The consent.

What happened?

We argued.

She... I think she got upset

with the things I said.

There was voluptuousness,

surrender, but there was no rape.

I've already said

I'm in love with this woman.

She's overpowered by an artist,

a painter, Jose Torres Campana.

That's the point.

He uses her as a model to shock,

to achieve success...

but it is pornography

what he really does.

She even uses his name.

He manipulates her,

and I noticed this manipulation...

- We fought over this...

- However, she accuses you.

I repeat:
She says the

intercourse had no consent.

Accusation shows you took advantage

of her physical deficiency.

This is a lie. It's him,

Jose Torres Campana...

who does that. Not me!

I treated her like a woman.

I may have been impulsive but

I didn't mean to hurt her.

I didn't hurt Ins.

It's too difficult to say what

happens at times like these.

We fought, we argued,

it was all very intense, but...

But she agreed.

I'm sure she gave herself in,

she felt pleasure.

There was no rape.

What about the bruises?

That was before.

She hit me.

Therefore,

you deny the accusation?

- Yes, I do.

- And why would she lie?

I don't think she's lying.

I think she is resentful, overpowered.

Since when have you known her?

A few days before that night.

I don't exactly recall the date.

- How many times did you meet?

- Twice.

- And you say you're in love...

- Is there a timeframe for that?

- It's just not normal...

- I'm not normal!

We are rigorous when it comes

to public figures, aren't we?

The newspaper cannot overlook that.

I thought you guys would

stand by my side.

This newspaper is part of my life,

you know it.

Of course, Antonio.

But what should I do?

Your column disappears all of

a sudden. And I say what?

That you took a vacation?

And for how long?

There is also the internal situation.

Besides, what if some magazine

publishes the lawsuit story?

What if she decides to talk

and we said nothing about it?

Can you picture us running the story

after everyone else?

That would be demoralizing.

I haven't even been cited yet.

I'm just asking for the newspaper...

not to publish my name.

This is an ethical issue.

You were accused of raping a girl

who has an amputated leg.

- What does your lawyer have to say?

- That I have a chance.

The leave you've requested

could be used by the defense.

It's an ethically correct and

brave attitude.

- You're condemning me.

- We're not!

I said I'd be a defense

witness in case you want me to.

I'll go the judge and tell him

everything I know about you.

I'll tell him you are incapable

of raping someone.

I see.

I think I'll place...

That's better.

But it won't be shown...

- You said you'd remember!

- Yeah, I did.

We'll figure out something new.

That's fine now.

Yeah, that was it...

or something similar.

We found it, see?

We found what we wanted.

You're completely wet.

My hand is coming back now.

I liked it.

More to the back.

One moment.

- Won't bother you?

- No.

Place your hand over here.

No, not there.

Let's make it a bit more

malicious. Grab me.

Lean over. That's it.

Good.

That's great!

It's better already.

That's the curve...

Very nice.

I'll work at this part a little more.

Good afternoon, Ms. Ins.

You may give us your testimony

without the defendant's presence.

Are you sure you're not

bothered by his presence?

- No. I don't think so.

- Very good.

As a victim,

you're not under oath...

but we do expect the truth.

We investigate the accusation

that you raped by the defendant.

Do you recognize him?

Yes.

Were you forced to have sexual

intercourse with him...

by means of violence

or any other kind of threat?

He forced me.

How did it happen?

He came to my apartment,

middle of the night, no warning.

He was confused,

aggressive, altered.

I asked him to leave.

I was afraid of him.

He really insulted me.

I tried to send him away,

but he did that to me.

Go on, please.

We argued and he grabbed me.

He squeezed my arms

with a lot of force.

Then he took it out and...

and laid over me.

Excuse me, but I have to ask:

Did he insert his penis

into your vagina?

Yes.

- Did you consent to it?

- No.

- Did he ejaculate?

- Yes.

- Did he wear a condom?

- No.

I see.

The defense may now speak.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ms. Ins, please understand that

we do not intend to embarrass you.

This is a grievous lawsuit.

A punishment of 6 to 10 years

of imprisonment...

mostly likely to be inflicted on

a penitentiary for rapists only.

I don't believe you're lying,

but this case has no witnesses.

It's your word against my client's.

It's natural that today's

and that night's emotions...

blur it all a bit.

It is the judge's decision whether

to punish Antonio or not.

It is also natural that

sorrow mixes up feelings.

You've said you were insulted.

What exactly did he say that

night which hurt you so much?

He insulted what is the most

sacred in my life...

which is my relationship with

Jose Torres Campana.

I don't really remember

his words. He...

What kind of relationship is that?

Is it affectional? Professional?

That is private. I don't have

to explain about my life.

I owe Jose my artistic career.

He inspires me, teaches me.

And I won't allow

anyone to violate it.

Did the defendant hit you?

No, no hitting.

Did he threaten you in any form?

- How so?

- Did he threaten to beat you?

I was scared...

- Did he make verbal threats then?

- No.

The apartment you live in is rented

by Jose Campana, isn't it?

Yes.

- Does he visit it frequently?

- The studio belongs to him.

- Any neighbors living close by?

- Yes.

- In the same floor?

- Yes.

After you both fell,

did you continue to fight?
