Teen Francine's real name is Rebecca Gibson.
She has had four boyfriends, only one was adventurous enough to participate. It was limited, largely, to on camera necking and petting.
Rebecca explains to her boyfriends that Francine is just a character. A naive 18 year old who wears too tight clothes and strikes provacative innoncent poses. Rebecca is 22.
Her website has three main sections for her members, the photo gallery, the live cam room and the sreening room. The photo gallery had just over 800 digital pictures, the most recent 200 were done by professionals. The live webcam room allows browsers to be a voyeur in Francine's apartment, through 14 webcams of a high quality. These cams are always on. The final area is the screening room. One high quality digital camcaorder records Francine's adventures in self-exploration.
She has over 14000 monthly subscribers (who pay $15 for a month), a few dozen annual subscribers (who pay $125). Hundreds of people pay $3for the 1 day full trial. The money goes to pay tuition, books and board for Rebecca's final year in undergraduate study.
Harold Ruiz was one of Francine's annual subscribers. For a year and three months he has frequented her site. He loved her, so he'd later testify. Over those 15 months he had pieced it together. The voices on the pixelated television had said the names of many Arizona cities, but Tucson most frequently. He studied the balcony, first floor, facing a 3 lane street (the middle for those turning left). He calculated the street was about 200 feet from the balcony. Most importantly she stored a red bicycle and a small green cooler on that porch.
Harold lived outside of Denver and spent 3 weekends in Tucson in the past two months, to find and meet her. The third weekend he found her. He knocked on Rebecca's door, she was expecting company soon, but not now. She'd just set up the camcorder for another episode for her screening room, she'd even hit record after setting the shot up.
What the tape showed was a desperate attempt of Harold's to declare his intentions to Francine. The attempts were not well received. The scene quickly degenerated and Harold's violence grew. He forced Francine to the floorand raped her. As she silently wept beneath him, he retreated and zipped his pants. Harold leaned against the wall.
After 10 minutes, Harold ripped phones from walls adn right before he exitted he saw her computer and remembered those web cams. He lifted the computer, dragging the peripherals and hurled it onto the tile hearth around the perpetually unused Arizona fireplace, destroying both.
He fled back home.
For a $10 download, a week later, the screening room voice was made available to members and nonmembers alike; much fallout ensued.
