We begin tonight inside the courtroom of that prep school rape trial. A case that made National Headlines and sparked painful, very private conversations in homes across the country. After dramatic testimony and tears on both sides the defendant receiving his sentence just hours ago. Heres abcs geo benitez. Reporter the once harvardbound former prep School Student saying a quiet prayer at his sentencing. The 20yearolds future in the hands of this judge. This is a case where lives have been destroyed. Yours and the victims. Reporter and their heartbroken parents trying to make sense of it all. Labrie, 18 at the time of the crime, was convicted for sexually assaulted a 15yearold freshman girl at their elite prep school. The victim described the attack in emotional testimony in august. We have distorted her voice. I was raped. I was violated in so many ways. Reporter today, the victims mother pleading for the judge to hand out the maximum sentence. In raping our child, labrie robbed our entire family of so much of what we valued. It was a safe harbor for our family. Reporter while labries also devastated mother looking for leniency, painting the picture of a hardworking scholarship student from a humble family, playing violin as a child are visiting harvard after earning a full ride there. An opportunity he has since lost. The then 18yearold was placed on 24hour suicide watch for four days, shaking and sobbing for seven to eight hours, his mother writing he has been punish beyond a degree that anyone else could possibly understand but i see it in the fear and sadness in oncebright and joyful eyes. Under the glare of the media spotlight the judge delivered his decision. You are neither the angel that is portrayed by your counsel nor the devil that is portrayed by the state. And i am sentencing you as a human being who has been convicted of five crimes. Reporter facing up to 11 years in prison, labrie was given one year and must register as a sex offender, potentially for life. Theres no question the judge knows the world is watching. And if he had sentenced owen labrie to probation, there would have been a rhetorical price to pay in the media, social media, et cetera. Does that mean thats why he did it . No. But are judges human . Yes. Its clear this judge was looking for a compromise. This case is setting a precedent that is going to put most parents who are paying attention on alert. It is time to have conversations not only with your daughter, but with your son, about what consent looks like, how to make sure you have consent. Reporter the victim said she was raped by labrie when they met up as part of what prosecutors characterize as a School Tradition that some called the senior salute where a graduating senior spends time with an underclass man, sometimes intimately. She said kissing quickly gave way to more and she asked him to stop. At trial labrie maintains that what they did together was consensual. We kissed more afterwards. But i didnt have sex with her. Reporter it became a he said she said drama that unfolded in court. At its core a sexual encounter that labries attorney argued was full of mixed messages. He took your pants off, right . Yes, i did. You helped him do that, didnt you . I lifted my hips up to make it easier for him, yes. Were you excited to have him attention . During the kissing, yes, i was. Young women are definitely under a lot of pressure to have sex. As a society were telling them that they should be modern and comfortable with sex and that she should be out there kind of having fun. At the same time shes not necessarily ready for that, shes getting pressure. Not only often from the boys but from the girls as well. Reporter the victim stressed that she was very clear about saying no, but did not physically fight him. I didnt kick or scream or really push. But i did say no. I said no three times. We started to kiss. Just a little bit. Anyway, she giggled, i giggled. Reporter he said in the middle of making out he had a sudden change of heart. I thought to myself, maybe we shouldnt do this. It hadnt been my intention going into the night to have sex. Reporter friends claim labrie bragged about having sex with the girl after. He told me that he had sex with [ muted ]. Guilty or not guilty . Guilty. Reporter in the end the jury acquitted him of the most serious charge, felony rape, but found him guilty of misdemeanor Sexual Assault and a felony charge of using a computer to lure an underage girl. A controversial offense for a generation dependant on digital communication. The social media plays such a tremendous role in everyday life and has become the primary source of communication for younger generations. That to hold a young man responsible and destroy his future over sending a flirtatious message seems to me a heavy price to pay for something that most teenagers and many adults do every single day. Reporter his attorneys say he will remain free on bail while they pursue an appeal. Any possible possibility owen labrie will never serve any jail time . I think theres absolutely a chance. Reporter today, following his sentencing, labrie officially registered as a sex offender and will remain on that registry for at least 15 years. You were adamant did that sex offender registry. In there, in court, he registered. As of today he is a sex offender. Thats correct, thats correct. Regardless of the sentence being stayed during appeal, his registration requirement takes effect immediately. Its been a big publicized trial. Whats your message to the community . My message is that the victim in this case was incredibly strong. She stood by us. She did what she needed to do. She told the truth. It was not easy for her. Reporter for the young victim who delivered a video message in court today, there is no real relief. What he did to me made me feel like i didnt belong on this planet. And that i would be better off dead than having to deal with the terrible things that every day were thrown in my direction after doing the right thing.

Hershey kisses, reeses cup, zero candy bar fella, just saying. If you chose trick or treat youre not alone. Americans are obsessed with creeping themselves out. Unlike sugar, scaring yourself could be good for you. Tonight our selfproclaimed scardy katnik watt is going in for the thrill. Reporter scarehouse, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. A Haunted House, halloween attraction. Right . Wrong, very wrong. Deep in the basement two scientists from the university of pittsburgh lets get this over with. Nice to see you. Reporter are analyzing fear. Why do we flock to ghostly movies like poltergeist . To zombie flicks like night of the living dead . Why do we go to Haunted Houses . People go to a Haunted House and come out feeling wonderful, they feel terrific. We want to ask why. Reporter we will spend 7 billion on halloween this year alone, candy overdose aside it might be doing us good. Okay, first some prescarehouse markers. Is this an elaborate joke . Reporter how do i react cold to disturbing pictures . The cool parts of this brain scan show that im not relaxed. When i hear loud noises, even with the comfort of holding one of the scientists hand, also not happy. I am a person prone to a little anxiety. But if theyre right when i come out of the scarehouse i might be a changed man. This is not what i signed up for. Reporter im wired with a heart monitor and electrodes on my fingers to measure sweatiness. Im going in. This way aahhh no bloody hell reporter first of all, i react with a scream so strong i accidentally tear off my finger electrode. Im not sure it survived or is going to take good readings. Were looking at whether or not there are any differences when i was holding his hand during the startle. Reporter margy kerr, as well as helping design this place, wrote a book about fear aptly named scream. Though its to our advantage to jump, have a response. Because thats going to aid in our survival. To scream . To frighten the thing off . To alert others. To appear more scary ourselves so when we scream, our face takes on a more contorted expression, which can be scary. Aahhh reporter we look scary because were scared in a Haunted House or home on the couch watching the walking dead. We expect something to be a human and then it starts not acting like a human. That is a violation. Something different than what we expected. And we freak out . Yeah. Fear is largely a result of basically disruptions of our prediction systems. Reporter prediction systems can come into play with clowns. They are supposed to look happy and they have these paintedon smiles and very exaggerated expressions. Yet their eyes and mouth arent reading the same. Reporter the guy playing the clown at a kids party isnt smiling with his eyes and that subconsciously freaks us out. Why are we scared of ghosts . Ghosts are scary for lots of reasons. Theres of course the fear of our own mortality that ghosts bring to mind. The dark. And the dark, we have no control. Anything could attack us without our knowledge. Its harder to locate our body in space. We lose all sense of where we are. Reporter but yet many of us seek fear out. The first time i came to scarehouse was because i so desperately wanted to escape the stress of writing my dissertati dissertation. Theres something thats been woven into our dna that wants to go out and see new things, explore new areas. And to challenge ourselves. Reporter in the modern world we get fewer chances of that. For many americans, life is pretty structured. Too boring . Yes. Reporter there isnt a lion at the watering hole to scare souse we seek out fear in books, movie houses, scarehouses. This might be good for us. When were scared our thinking brain is taking a break. All the worry and the concern, it gets pushed to the side because our body wants to prioritize things that are going to help us survive. Reporter im out. Time for the postmatch analysis. I am subjected to the same sounds that previously made me jump. The startle, whether or not you were holding margys hand, was very high gamma. I didnt flinch at all with the noises . Yep. Less emotional response to the bad pictures. Reporter heres my brain when i saw those distressing pictures before. And after. Those warmer areas proving im much, much less agitated. You could be having an endorphin response. So its sort of like the runners high has now taken over, your brain is flooded with stress hormone and so things that would be stressful just dont register as much. Reporter medical science might one day use Something Like this to treat depression. Thinking about the negative thing, i couldnt hold the negative thought. When you go through a scary experience, it seems to recalibrate you. Reporter the scarehouse was so bad that Everything Else pales into insignificantance. We just dont sweat the other stuff.

When the opportunity to direct Pitch Perfect 2 came around she went for it. Hey sxlm. Hey, banks. Why are there so few women directors . I find that human beings are not fond of change. Parity in hollywood is going to require that those in power share a little of that power and that requires a Real Partnership with the men in our industry. Reporter until then banks has found no shortage of jobs. This year she starred in the hilarious realtor. Com commercials. This ones going to be a billionaire, arent you . Reporter shared screen time with Channing Tatum in magic mike xxl. Give your mama some sugar reporter and her role in love and mercy is getting her early oscar buzz. You look really great. Reporter the film is inspired by the harrowing life of brian wilson, the brilliant lead singer of the beach boys, who was plagued by severe psychiatric problems. In it, banks plays wilsons wife and savior melinda ledbetter. Why did you read the script and say, ive got to play this woman this. I was seduced. I loved this character, i loved this woman.
