Hooker forced Colleen to sign a contract that gave up all of her individual rights to her body, much like a submissive. However, he did allow her to work for him by doing chores and taking care of their daughter. Hooker also gave her permission to send letters and meet up with her family to convince them that she was living her life with a new boyfriend.

The show that I choose to focus on for this critique was Law & Order: SVU.
