Milord I put it to this honourable court that my client is not guilty.
Prove it.
Milord I think the people who should be on trial here are the women. They made him do it (loud murmuring in court)
Clerk: Silence in court.
Thank you milord. I put it to this honourable Court that my client was the archetypal victim of sexual exploitation by very powerful women who were bent on bringing him down.
How?
Milord, intimacy between a man and woman is something ordained for pleasure as well as for procreation. But in a discreet and holy space.
Y-e-s!
As milord can see, these women are the movers and shakers of this great nation.
True.
A sibling of the most powerful politician in the country, wives, girlfriends and daughters of the movers and shakers of this nation.
True
Milord, my client is just a humble public servant occupying a position that could compromise the position of the powerful men in the lives of these women now parading themselves as victims.
We’re all ears.
Milford, I see a pattern here in which those likely to be investigated by my client held meetings among themselves to exploit what is generally perceived to be the ultimate weakness of a young, handsome and privileged individual. I put it to this honourable court that these women had the explicit permission of their willing spouses, parents and members of their family to lure my client into these acts so as to ensure that corruption, the meal that feeds extravagant lifestyle of these men would be covered.

Preposterous!
Not so milord. The tapes in evidence before this Court are not spy tapes.
So?!
There were instances where the camera were properly positioned for the orgies with the so-called victims starring knowingly at the very lens of the camera.
Huh.
Milord, no sane woman of class, some married, would be so daft as to let a man position a camera in a compromised position while they perform their acts.
What are you driving at?
Milord, it is clear that these women specifically requested for these acts to be taped. I put it to the defendants that they made these tapes consciously to blackmail my client and best him into perpetual silence.
Prove it.
I put it to you Milord that these women had copies of these tapes and that there are copies in the hands of their men. I put it to this honourable court that they were only waiting for a time to blackmail my client into silence. To prevent him from doing his job properly and to perpetuate the culture of corruption that has impoverished this nation and cast a pall shadow of darkness on its image.
Really?
I submit before your Lordships that those who planned this have now succeeded
How?
The world has forgotten about the palpable corruption existing in the highest level of this nation and is now focused on tarnishing the image of my client who is now perceived across the globe as an unconscionable investigator. Milord, the focus should be on what these women were trying to achieve by consciously agreeing to get themselves filmed doing the abominable. I submit that my client should be released from imprisonment because his life is at risk from the antics of these women and the men they represent. I plead with this Court to release my client and send him to a secure location under surveillance and into the care of psychological counsel so that he could heal from the ordeal he has been subjected to by his traducers for doing nothing than being appointed to fish out and punish sleaze…
Counsel, this Court has heard a lot from you within a span of an hour. It would now adjourn to decide whether to hear this case in public thereby serializing the decimation of this country’s image or to hear this case a huit clos. I so rule.
As milords please.
Clerk: C-o-u-r-t!
