"Redemption" by Dafney Dewitt (DafneyDewit@Juno.com).

This is a parody of the "Law and Order" television show. Claire is an
assistant district attorney. Stone is an asshole whom she sent to the
slammer. Tommy is Claire's mentally retarded brother. Stone gets Tommy
involved in sexual and criminal activity to get back at Claire. He hopes
eventually to strip Claire of all her dignity. The plot gets really
complicated. Had this happened to the assistant district attorney in Dallas,
she would have simply reported the matter to Chuck Norris, who would have
kicked but for her.

I felt this was an interesting attempt, but a not-quite-satisfying story. The
sex is not really hot; the focus is on sexual blackmail rather than sexual
activity. Ultimately, there are a few too many loose ends.
