In the video, the young woman is sitting on a double bed under the yellow light of a hotel room. A policeman is recording her with a body camera as he explains that he's part of Bellingham, Washington's VICE team. He shows her printouts of the sex ads she's allegedly posted to Backpage.com and explains that the man she had arranged to meet at the hotel was an undercover cop. She grabs at her forehead and looks like she might cry.
