"...shockingly sordid story. “Betrayal” is truly a terrifying tale reinforcing the idea that we can never know what’s happening inside the mind of someone else.

Episode 3 is worth a listen – and worth playing to teenagers – as the victim carefully describes the ways in which Herron manipulated her."
