The Conviction

A young woman stays in a museum at closing time, perhaps distracted, perhaps on purpose. A stranger also stays and forces himself on her. After a time, she becomes a willing partner, achieving orgasm, rare for her. At dawn, she learns he has keys to the doors, so she charges rape. At trial, he claims her ultimate willingness and his lack of violence mean it was not rape. She testifies against him, yet it also seems she has joined a chorus of women at the trial who respond to his power and ability to release trapped beauty. One such woman is the prosecutor's companion, causing a crisis in their relationship. What is it women want? When can a man use his power? Is virility criminal?
