In 2020, Morgan Metzer divorced her high school sweetheart, Rodney Metzer, and hoped to move on with her life. But on New Year’s Eve, a man broke into her home with his face disguised and voice distorted. He assaulted Metzer both physically and sexually, leaving her battered on a porch. Minutes later, Rodney Metzer showed up to help. Police later took him into custody…and he entered a guilty plea to 14 charges. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber speaks with Morgan Metzer about her terrifying experience – and when she realized the masked attacker was actually her ex.

Anyone know how his family treats her and the children. Do they have any contact or has his family ghosted her and the kids?
It’s nice to hear the lifetime included her so much in the making of the story, I feel that’s not usually the case
Shoutout to the police officer who recognized a narcissist right away !
I wanna know how come I dont get a movie out of my case?? Im also dying to know why exactly her story was the chosen one, where there are plenty other similar stories? with whom do I have to sleep with to make a movie of my story too?
This entire segment gives me the ick, and I can’t explain why.
It’s almost like she’s bloviating about her trauma for clout.
I wouldn't want something like that made into a movie if it happened to me. Privacy is golden.
I see myself in this woman and truly resonate with what she is saying when she speaks about us (women) not talking to one another, not being authentic with one another. I was definitely guilty of this in my marriage and didn't disclose the abuse that was going on. It's not that I didn't try to tell, I wasn't fully truthful – it left room to rationalize the abuse (as crazy as that sounds). The last physical assault was December 2nd, 2019. He was arrested but made bail early the next day. He continued to break into the house, even with the PFA and launched a new method of abuse I hadn't experienced before – abuse through the legal system. He had a lawyer that would call me at work and leave tautening messages, called my father and twin to leave threatening messages and my own lawyer refused any sort of communication other than email as he was too abusive to her team to speak with. My ex went through several lawyers until he found one willing to play his game. Despite all that I went through, I was lucky. He quickly remarried (6 months from our divorce date) and told the court he moved out of my area. I am still dealing with the effects of the abuse but I am doing so much better with the help of doctors, family, and support groups. The biggest lesson I learned is to be more truthful. Don't try to just keep up appearances. Once a partner hits or physical assaults you, the chances of it happening again are a matter of "when" not "if". I am so amazed at the wonderful, beautiful people I have met through talking about my experience. What breaks my heart are the stories of the people who are no longer with us because of dv. I speak up for them too.
Glad you’re ok and sharing. Also happy he’s gone! Bravo lady! Enjoy your life now!
Hos long will Lally drag this out
What trial was she watching. The glass wasn’t a match. His dns was on himself and the car he was in. 😅
😂😂 dude threw his life away for a 3 wtf is wrong wit people. Ain’t a woman on earth worth 25yrs of my life
Uhh sorry I'm not convinced he loves his children.
Unbelievable 😮. He did this to get her back. Wickedness
Sorry all you Rodneys. Every Rodney I knew were freaks and weirdos.
Love you jessie ❤
Omg she’s gorgeous 🤯
The host looks like pen badgley
😂 😂😅😅 😅
I hope the family that believed him and thought she was at fault feel like total crap now.
I’d read the book.
Recommended by JP waiting with others.
PRETENDING to be an intruder??? He WAS an intruder.
She's insane if she even entertains the thought of having anything to do with him …ever. The children will be grown by then, so no contact is necessary.
