Episode 4 - The Third Time’s the Charm

Description

In late 2018, a privileged 29 year old man from Chuluota, Florida became obsessed with a Bulgarian webcam model named Sylvia. Grant Amato still lived at home with his parents and older brother, Cody. The brothers were born less than two years apart and had always been very close and had the same goals. Both graduated from nursing school, but Grant fell apart in graduate school, flunking out and then getting fired for stealing drugs from his hospital job. His downward spiral took him to the depths of internet and sex addiction, and his selfishness destroyed his family.
