  • An adult man talks about having sex with a young girl (maybe 5 years old) to the girl's mother and to the girl herself. He appears to become turned on while speaking directly to the child. He removes his gloves and begins unbuttoning his clothes. He is interrupted.
  • Many female prostitutes display explicit full frontal nudity when they are forced by a male patron to walk down a flight of stairs & then stand in a line so that this man can look at their nude bodies and choose to his liking.

  • In the midst of the sexual act, the man orders the prostitute to engage in violent play with him, and starts to hit and strangle the woman. When the teenage girl threatens to shoot him if he does not stop, he goads her and dares her to shoot him, while seemingly deriving pleasure both from the rough sex and the emotional torment that he is exacting on the teenage girl.
