Excerpts from the video:

I mistakenly called my phone number on that movie. One of the callers that called me after the movie was this lady seated here, she called me…I told her to send a message on Facebook so I could see her face, she wrote to me on Facebook and I got in touch with her…I drove down to the traffic light to see her.

“While dating her, her father threatened me, I received a call one day and the voice said ‘I will lock you up’, I did not give up.”
