Cathy's Childhood Incident

Cathy's mother finds her in the carriage house with two fourteen-year-old boys, her skirts pulled up. Cathy claims she was tied up and assaulted, and the boys are severely punished and sent to a house of correction. However, the boys insist Cathy instigated the encounter and tied her own hands. This event establishes Cathy's pattern of using false victimhood to destroy others.
