I think they are trying to hack into the brainz of the kind of people who have watched 13 Reasons Why which is all about the angst and secrecy and undercover degeneracy rape and violence that leads a sweet young girl to commit suicide. It was hugely popular, and they’re trying to portray the good Judge as the top jock rape gang ringleader.
There’s also a novel by Tom Wolfe called I Am Charlotte Simmons about a brilliant but innocent girl from the boondocks who is corrupted by life (including alcohol and rape) at an elite private Southern college which covers a lot of the same themes... in that book girls would kill to get into a big frat party despite the fact that girls would get drugged and raped there. But that was a college frat! Not prep school, for pete’s sake.
They want to get that Mrs. Degree at all cost.
