    EXCERPT:

    LORENZ: “Yeah, they’ll threaten children, they’ll threaten my parents. I’ve had to remove every single social tie. I have severe PTSD from this. I contemplated suicide, it got really bad. You feel like any little piece of information that gets out on you will be used by the worst people on the internet to destroy your life and it’s so isolating.”

    REPORTER: “And terrifying.”

    LORENZ: “It’s horrifying. I’m so sorry. (cries)”

    REPORTER: “No, you’re fine. You’re fine.”

    LORENZ: “It’s overwhelming. It’s really hard.”
