We never find out if he's guilty, or this was ill-advised but not a sign he abused her (however by modern American laws this still might be considered child porn). In any case, he defense himself gracefully and refuses to resign even when faced with an angry crowd.

''Assassination Nation'' is a 2018 {{exploitation|film}} {{thriller}} written and directed by Sam Levinson.
After the sleepy town of Salem, Massachusetts is rocked by a series of online hacks that ruin the lives of its subjects, free-thinking high schooler Lily Colson (Odessa Young) —herself one of the many victims— gets pinned with the blame.
[[FromBadToWorse And then it only goes downhill from there]].
With only her friends (Suki Waterhouse, Hari Nef, Gabrielle "ABRA" Mirville) by her side, it's up to Lily to fight off a hoard of (armed) [[HeManWomanHater misogynists]] who want her dead. Also in the film are Creator/BillSkarsgard as Lily's boyfriend Marty, Creator/JoelMcHale as Lily's [[MayDecemberRomance "daddy"]] Nick, and Creator/BellaThorne as blue-haired cheerleader Reagan.
