Chapter 18 - The Leaked Tapes

The following morning, an anonymous whistleblower leaked wiretapped phone calls between Victoria and Senator Sterling to the media.
In the recordings, Victoria explicitly admitted to paying off local officials to cover up her assault on Maya.
The scandal rocked the United States Senate, forcing Senator Sterling to announce his immediate resignation.
Federal marshals arrived at Victoria's mansion in Beverly Hills, revoking her bail under order of the federal judge.
As she was led out to the federal transport van in chains, reporters swarmed the driveway with cameras.
