Audrie & Daisy Page #3

and one count of

misdemeanor sexual battery.

[reporter 2] The photo not only made

the event more terrible for Audrie,

it will also be used as evidence

against the boys, now in custody.

[reporter 1] This is not the first story

we've told of this ilk.

Teenagers, allegations of sex assault,

cell phone photos, social media.

It's getting to the point

where we're losing track.

What about all of the other teens...

PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA

[Delaney Henderson]

My dad came home one night and said,

"Delaney, you need to turn on the news."

I remember turning on the news

and hearing about this girl

and her name was Audrie Pott.

And I remember thinking to myself,

"I need to talk to her."

And my dad looked at me and he said,

"You know, she committed suicide."

I know...

I know the exact feeling she felt.

Even after my assault,

I still go through it sometimes

of just self-shame and,

you know, all these people are right,

what they're saying about me.

She had only been going through this

for a week and had gotten so bad.

Like, if I had had one day

and I could have just talked to her

and let her know that I was there.

That I'm going through

what she's going through.

And my dad was like, "You know,

but sometimes, like, it's just too late."

I'm just lucky because it didn't work.

When I tried to kill myself,

it didn't work.

And I remember thinking afterwards,

"Why didn't I take more pills?"

Like, the assault and the rape happened,

but it was the aftereffect, I think,

that was so much worse.

I mean, there was pictures forwarded

all over Facebook, all over Twitter.

There was hashtags created, like,

"Delaney Henderson's a slut."

It got to the point

where I was getting threats.

The DA actually came to us and said,

"You need to leave,

because these threats are getting so bad

that we're afraid for your life."

What about these? These too, right?

[man] Yeah.

[Delaney] Now, we are finally

moving to Florida.

I mean,

we can't get any farther than that.

We're going from the Pacific Ocean

to the Atlantic Ocean.

I wish that someone had contacted me

when I had needed it, you know?

Even just to send me a Facebook message.

The second I heard about Daisy,

I looked at my mom and I said,

"I'm gonna talk to her.

I don't know how, I don't know where

to find her, but I need to talk to her."
