Tracy Brandt is a teenage girl who was sexually abused by predatory photographer Julian Decker, not long before she killed him after taking advantage of her.
History[]
Tracy's mother Angela needed to support them both when her husband Jeffrey and she divorced. Coming across Decker, Decker having lied about having modeling contacts, Angela was hired for a photoshoot, but she was bribed and blackmailed into sexual abuse and prostitution by Decker's action, taking naked photos of her as well to further please himself and intimidate her.
After a while, when Angela wasn't enough, Decker preyed on Tracy, alluring and then repeatedly raping her while also photographing her naked, all under lies and love-bombing. When Angela found out and threatened him with charges, Decker decided to reject Tracy, sneering at her to never meet again and then laugh while calling her ugly in various ways. In a mixture of trauma, rage, and shame, Tracy grabbed a pair of shears in Decker's workshop and stabbed his back, killing him.
After another potential victim found Decker dead in the studio when bringing him coffee in a first meeting, investigations revealed the numerous women and girls Decker abused. Once Angela's found and her DNA's a familial match to the secretions found at the scene, she's the prime suspect and is taken to trial. Tracy, who was originally shaken, had no trouble in her testimony, leading to suspicion turning on her and revealing Angela and Jeffrey were covering for her despite them already having an alibi.
Once Tracy's DNA was an exact match, she was confronted in custody, and she tearfully confessed. Decker used her virginity to make her feel dependent on him as a man over other men and boys, lauding her and degrading Angela while she was sexually abused. She killed him out of her own trauma and humiliation more than rejection, which her council Shambala Green insisted on being her defense so she could take a plea for a reduced sentence.
Tracy pleaded guilty to manslaughter two and was sentenced to three years in juvenile detention, with an arrangement of mandatory psychiatric treatment. (L&O: "Skin Deep")
