Unsafe Spaces | Open Secret

At trial and at sentencing, Lorenzo's many surviving victims testified against him, including the impactful statements made by Albert Perkins, who Lorenzo kidnapped and assaulted in February of 2000. The testimony and eventual plea deals made by both Schweickert and Lorenzo would provide great insight into their MOs and victimology. But at what cost? Because by some accounts, investigators and the prosecution were as hard on the survivors as they were Lorenzo himself.
