I'm going inside the minds of the people shaping our future. Listen to The Builders starting October 13th on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1986, a man named Scott Macklem was killed in broad daylight. Police quickly found their suspect. Prosecutors convicted him. But now, almost 40 years later, I'm re-examining this case. I really didn't. I didn't believe any of it was real. And I was like, well, they're going to figure out this is not me. They're going to do their police job. Has the wrong man been in prison this whole time? Listen to Examined, The Backfire Effect, on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On December 18th, 2018, Mike Levengood was charged with rape. The prosecutors spent the next year building the case against him. They were going to a jury trial, and the state wanted a conviction. So they ran toxicology, consulted with experts, combed through online chats, and analyzed every moment of the dozens of videos they were able to track down. In the end, they gathered over 30 videos Mike had filmed, without Saskia's consent. In many of them, she was completely unconscious. And her husband was violating her. Mike was charged with 31 counts of illegal surveillance. And even though prosecutors had video evidence of what Mike did, in the end, they were only able to bring four counts of rape. Under Maryland law, it was legal to rape your unconscious spouse, just so long as it was done without force. If he was found guilty of every charge, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. That was Saskia's hope. I wanted him to be in jail. And I felt like testifying against him and holding him accountable would give me back some of my power. But if the jury questioned Saskia's story, Mike could walk free. For Ashley Inderfurth, the lead prosecutor, on the case, it was nerve-wracking. This isn't a scenario where it's a 50-50, and we gotta get it to 51%. The jury has to believe it beyond a reasonable doubt. In the final lead-up to the trial, Ashley had to pass the case off to another colleague. I had to go out on maternity leave. She was pregnant with twins, and they came early. In the months after they were born, she practically left. She lived in the NICU. And I was sort of, you know, really not thinking about work, but this case was an exception. The day before Mike's trial was set to begin, Ashley was in the hospital. She was at her baby's bedside when her phone rang. It was Rebecca McVitie, the prosecutor who took over Saskia's case. Ashley answered right away. She knew how much I cared about it, and she called me. me to make sure I was okay with what she was going to do. I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal, Season 5, Episode 5. Tornado. Saskia had just started working again after taking a year off to manage her trauma. That morning, she was sitting in a conference room, talking with her fellow social workers. But the only thing on her mind was tomorrow's trial. She was expecting a call from the prosecutor to let her know what time to be there the next day. Instead, she got a message saying there was news. I said I had to excuse myself, and I went into the psychiatrist's office because it was a bigger room, and I went and sat on the chair and was kind of shaking and just waiting to hear what happened, how we were proceeding. The minutes crept by. Then, after what felt like an eternity. I got the call saying that he made this plea deal, and they wanted to accept it. Mike was pleading guilty. He would serve time and be on the sex offender registry for life. But. He only had to plead guilty for one count of rape. And it kind of felt like it discounted all of the times, all of the deceit, all of the manipulation. It was like it came down to one incident. For a year, Saskia had been preparing to take the stand, to make Mike answer for what he'd done to her, in video after video. Now, she learned there would be only one charge, and there would be no trial. I felt that my chance to speak my truth was gone, and my emotions, all the lead-up to that, just kind of drained out of me in tears. The decision to go to trial wasn't hers to make, because the prosecutors don't represent Saskia like attorneys would in a civil case. They represent the state of Maryland and its citizens as a whole, and they had to be realistic. With the instructions given to the jury, would they convict? Remember, the law wasn't on Saskia's side. Force was required to prosecute spouses for rape. But the force was minimal, because she was completely incapacitated. That's Debbie Feinstein, head of the Special Victims Division at the State's Attorney's Office in Montgomery County. She supervised the case. We could see on the videos that he had moved parts of her body, and we planned to argue that was force. Would we have been successful? I don't know, because that's not conventionally what someone thinks of when they think of force. The burden of proof was incredibly high. Any doubt as to whether Mike's actions constituted forcible rape could throw the whole case out the window. He could walk free. The state's attorneys also had to think about Saskia. They were aware of Saskia's alcohol use, her dependence on prescription medications, her mental health history, and her dad's mental health history. These were all things that a defense attorney would use to turn a jury against her. Here's Ashley, the original prosecutor. They're going to be throwing out these things about this person to try to undermine their credibility. And that is a really hard thing for victims to deal with. And it makes it harder for us to prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt. Everyone at the state's attorney's office believed Saskia. They'd seen the evidence. This woman had been raped. But their belief in Saskia and their certainty that this was a crime wasn't enough to ensure a conviction. As Debbie told us, Unfortunately, mental health still has stigma around it can impact a juror. It shouldn't, but it does. With all of this in mind, when Mike said he was ready to take a plea, the prosecutors said yes. With a plea deal, they'd avoid the risk of a jury acquitting Mike. They'd get a guaranteed guilty. When Ashley, the original prosecutor, got the news, I was really glad to hear it. Given all of the complexities with this case, I thought that him pleading guilty was the very best thing that could happen. I told my colleague that I was very pleased with what she had been able to work out. So, the decision was made. There would be no trial. But Saskia would still get her day in court, because after Mike took the plea, he had a sentencing hearing. At this hearing, Judge Jill Cummins would determine exactly how long Mike would spend behind bars. Saskia walked down the center aisle into the courtroom with her sister, brothers, and friends by her side. We were just all so excited for at least this piece of this terrible process to be behind me and behind us, and for him to at least be taken away in shackles for doing what he did. The courtroom was emptier than she'd imagined it. It was just a handful of spectators, some attorneys, some clerks, and the judge sitting at the front of the room. Where the jury would have been were 12 vacant chairs. Saskia, her friends, and family took their seats in the gallery. We're just pretty dead silent waiting for the case to be called and waiting for Mike to be brought in. And then the doors opened. Then walked Mike. Saskia's friend Bridget recalls seeing him that day. He was wearing a suit and brand new white sneakers. At a glance, he was put together. But the outfit didn't fool her. He looked gaunt, and he had lost a lot of weight from stress, and that's only because he knew he got caught. You would think that you would put your head down or just have some level of remorse or shame, and he didn't. He looked straight at me and then looked straight ahead. It gave me chills. Mike took his seat next to his two attorneys. The sentencing hearing was ready to begin. What we're about to play for you are real excerpts from that day. Call 1-8-1-3-5-0-6-3. Stand around.

I'm Melissa Jeltsin, and in my new podcast, What Happened to Her, I'm bringing you new stories and conversations every week. Stories about women whose deaths were too quickly ruled a suicide. She was starting to get worried and get scared for her safety. Stories of survival. The only difference between me and her, frankly, was a little bit of luck, because by all rights, I should be dead. Cases that everyone else called closed. They can't convict her, right? Like, she has so much evidence. These stories all start in the same place, with a woman failed by a system that didn't believe her, that didn't protect her, that didn't see her. No child should ever experience that. And we were babies. She did all of these brave things and came out and spoke about it, and he got a year.

If there's a million times more digital intelligence than there is biological intelligence, it's hard to imagine humans being in control of that scenario. I'm Walter Isaacson, host of the new podcast, The Builders. Right now, we're living through an AI arms race. So I went directly to the people shaping that future. Elon Musk, Dario Amadei, Alex Carr, Fei-Fei Li, Palmer Luckey, because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe, what they fear, and where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying the cliche thing about the way to predict the future is to create it. Well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans? They're brilliant, controversial, and they're already shaping the future. The question is, whose imagination do we want to live in? This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. Listen to The Builders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Whether if we tip them or not, come and find out. Sometimes we'll talk about that weird news story from last week. It's the one you're thinking about. Trust me. Or maybe we'll talk about music and what's happening in the underground, or drama and music, or TV shows, or the Met Gala and what the actors wore. What we're saying is we're not afraid to talk about everything under the sun. And if you want to see what that's like, come join us. It's a place where everyone can hang out, anyone. Wherever you're from, whatever you're like, you're welcome. Listen to Out of Character. Out of Character from Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Pods, or wherever you get your podcasts. The hearing began with a statement by one of Mike's defense attorneys. He was determined to get the minimum possible penalty for his client, and he pulled out every stop to make that happen. Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. And Mike, the great parts of him will continue and dominate for the rest of his life. In this particular case, regarding the conduct here, Mr. Levengood understands that it is unacceptable. And I'm very confident as I stand here today that he has internalized that. The attorney had witnesses prepared to testify to Mike's strong character. And he had letters from Mike's family, friends, and coworkers, all saying the same thing. Mike was a good man. He has been kind to others. He has been empathetic to others. He has been non-self-centered. He has been a giving person and an excellent dad and an excellent employee and friend to dozens throughout his life. On top of that, Mike had been given a psych evaluation. It's commonly done in criminal cases to help inform sentencing decisions. Mike's evaluator said he was a low risk to society. He wasn't a danger to other women. As Mike's attorney argued, this crime was a misstep in an otherwise perfect life. When you get in the mix of the tornado and whirlwind of pornography addiction or pornography fixation, however you want to characterize it, it kind of twirls you out of control at certain moments. And again, there's nothing that takes away in anything that I'm saying from his own responsibility and his own agency and his own free will. But I do think that this was, part of this kind of hailstorm or tornado was the best thing I could think of him being kind of twirled into these, we would say, unacceptable criminal series of conduct. Mike's other attorney also made remarks. And of course, he brought up the marital exemption. Much of the most offensive behavior in this case was actually, it's legal under the law, right? Which has no bearing on whether or not it's moral, appropriate, desired, or right. But as it was, this case was difficult because incapacitation is not a grounds of sexual assault with your spouse in Maryland. And the hours of footage that were presented by the state were largely of somebody incapacitated. And then he snuck in another argument. There were also hours and hours of footage of mutual, completely different conduct that was sexual, in nature, and was pornographic. It was completely within their marriage and completely within the two of them. And purely for their own private enjoyment. I want to underscore what's happening here. According to his lawyers, he took full responsibility for what he did to Saskia. He was sorry. But in the same breath, Mike's defense team was trying to discredit Saskia. They were trying to convince the judge that Saskia did consent in hopes of getting Mike less time. This was all one big misunderstanding. You'll hear the judge's take on that later in the episode. But for now, back to Mike's attorney. He has accepted responsibility for this position and he will accept the punishment and he will go to jail today. Someone who's never been in jail, who was successful, who was, while this was going on, making $200,000, $250,000 a year and living a life for him that was in many ways perfect, that was on paper everything that you would want. His life will be ruined by this. He will be a lifetime registrant on the sex offender registry. He will be instantly judged by anyone who meets him. He will be restricted on where he can live and so many other things. And he has gotten a lot of perspective himself from what is important from this whole thing. Losing everything can help you see the material matters that really matter to being happy and being safe and secure. With that, he asked the judge to give Mike the lowest possible sentence. And then it was the state's turn. The prosecutor, Rebecca McVitie, stood up before the judge. This is a familiar situation for the court in the sense that we have a defendant that during the light of day in all regards is looked at as a contributing member of society, somebody who is lovable and likable. And that is exactly the aspect of the defendant's personality that allowed Ms. Inwood to fall for him, to love him and to trust him. But these types of crimes, as the court's seen over and over again, are not committed in the light of day. They are committed in darkness after that trust has been established. That is the reason that this betrayal is so intense for Ms. Inwood. As defense counsel mentioned, this resolution is a compromise under the current state of Maryland law. If the state was not excluded from going forward on rape charges under the incapacitation theory, the state would be looking at hours and hours of more footage, countless more counts of second-degree rape, as the defendant himself admits repeatedly engaging in sexual acts while Ms. Inwood was completely unconscious. Defense counsel referenced that this is a tornado of pornography addiction. But a tornado comes and goes in moments. From October 20, 2017 until October 25th, 2018, about a year, the defendant that we know of videotaped Ms. Inwood while she was unconscious or inebriated over 30 times. That is not a tornado. That is a year of perpetuating this continual betrayal of trust over and over again with the person he was supposed to protect. Rebecca then described the contents of one of the videos Mike took. Because the charges on paper could never capture what was in those videos. It feels important to Saskia and to us for people to know the extent of Mike's crimes. But if you'd like to skip hearing these details, you can fast forward one minute. In one of the videos that the state provided to the court, I was told that the defendant, Ms. Inwood is asleep, unconscious, however you'd like to say it. About 14 minutes into her being unconscious, she pushes the defendant away. And it looks like she mouths the words stop. After that happens, the defendant continues to perform sexual acts with her, including digital penetration of her vagina, inserting sex toys in her vagina. And at the end, you see that he just leaves the camera on while she's unconscious in that bed. There is no doubt that over the course of the year, the defendant waited until she was unconscious to get online and chat and exchange pornographic videos for tokens or coins or payment of some sort. He perpetrated every woman's fear by taking away her voice, her choice in the matter. And he left her powerless to protect herself. Finally, Rebecca brought up the psych evaluation, the one given to Mike, where the psychologist concluded that he was a low risk to society. She said there was one thing missing from that assessment. Dr. Deem in his sex offender evaluation was actually never given a copy of these videos. He was given and spy the defense as to what these videos entail. It is a dramatic difference from reading the words on the statement of charges to watching that betrayal, that abuse, and the disturbing acts that the defendant chose to record. And with that, the prosecutor concluded her argument. She asked the judge for the maximum possible sentence under the plea agreement. For Saskia, the speech was validating. It was like, yes, we've had to go through this painful process, but we didn't doubt that he was guilty. The prosecutor sat back at her desk. But before Judge Cummins could make her sentencing decision, there were still two people left to hear from. Her sister would like to speak in them and would like to be heard from. Saskia and her sister Marisa had prepared for the next trial. It would be Saskia's one chance to address Mike on the record. And it would be her only opportunity to show the judge who Mike Levengood really was. Marisa stood up and addressed the court. Michael Levengood, you have no shame. You sit here and you deny your wrongdoing in the face of irrefutable evidence that you're a rapist. We, her family and friends, we know what you did. We see the truth clearly. I know when it all started, even before the date was shared today, because she was deteriorating mentally and physically right before our eyes and we had no explanation as to why. I went with her, with you sometimes, to multiple doctors and hospitals, trying to find out what was wrong with her. No one could answer how she could get well. I recall vividly one night, shortly after her mother died, which I'll share that that date was September 30th, 2017. I remember looking at her face and saying, right before the videos began, when despite drinking no more than anyone else, she was suddenly and surprisingly so incapacitated that she could not walk. Everyone was so concerned what had happened. She was fine one minute and then not the next. We thought about taking her to the hospital, but he was so calm, always in charge, always in control, less concerned than others, and reassured me personally that she would be fine, that he was there to take care of her. And now I have to wonder, based on that date, did you drug her that night? Or did you just encourage her to drink? Did you set up your cameras and fondle and manipulate her body while she was not aware and could not physically resist you? I know on my bones that you did. And what affects me most is your cockiness in those videos. How cool you felt, how powerful, to be able to do this. Without anyone knowing. To be able to pull it off time after time, and then put on your good husband mask during the day, and reap the rewards of a beautiful home and a loving wife. Your Honor, even now I feel my words are probably lost on him. He has only been concerned about himself and his consequences and his future life. Don't let him displace blame onto his victim. Don't let other husbands or wives think they can do whatever they want to their spouses. Ensure that all people know that having sex with an unconscious person is called rape, even when you're married to them. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, ma'am. Then, after Marisa, it was finally Saskia's turn. With her paper shaking in her hand, she walked up to a table between the prosecution and the defense. Her body was angled towards the judge. But really, she wanted to deliver the speech to Mike. I knew not to expect any empathy or remorse, and I think that drove me. me even more. The only thing that I can get is for him to have to sit with what he did to me. Let me start by saying there's not enough jail time for you that will make me feel safe or give me back what I had before you victimized me. You deserve the maximum possible sentence. You pretended to be a loving husband and yet you were my attacker. I posted pictures and videos of your crimes against my body on the internet for people to watch. I suffered embarrassment and shame that I don't deserve. I never deserve it. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about the hours and hours those images being watched by strangers. Maybe the worst part was when I woke up to catch you filming me and then to finally see evil in your eyes and that's exactly what I saw. No remorse. No caring. No sympathy. A cold and empty man and at that point I knew that no amount of money and personal discomfort would stop me from pursuing justice so that you were not able to prey on other vulnerable women. You pretended to support me through my ups and downs never once letting on that you were using me. I had no idea that the cause of my misery was lying in the bed next to me. You deserve to go to jail with the people who are real dangerous to society. You're a dangerous person who preys on vulnerable and trusting people. You're a sexual predator Michael Lovingood. You took away my ability to feel safe and to trust anybody wholeheartedly. You took away from me my happiness and I'll never be the same because of you. Thank you Ms. Inwood. After Saskia, Mike was offered the last word. This would have been the moment to take accountability or to apologize. He chose to say nothing. At last it came time for Judge Jill Cummins to deliver Mike's sentence. I was very familiar with the statement of charges. Knew what you were accused of. I'm very familiar with the facts of the case. But intellectually knowing the facts of the case is very different from watching those videos. If you run a small business, you can earn your money.

On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your letters from your daughters, your co-workers, your friends, your ex-wife. And everyone has the same impression of you as a fine, upstanding person. But interestingly, with the exception, I'd say, of your ex-wife, your friends, your co-workers, they don't know what happens behind bedroom doors and what people do in the privacy of their own homes. As you know, I've lived with this case for almost a lifetime. And what I will say is, I was very familiar with the statement of charges. Had read it several times, every time you had appeared before me for pre-trial statuses, a motion to everything. But intellectually, knowing the facts of the case is very different from watching those videos. Not easy to watch those videos. At all. The judge had only just seen those videos, in preparation for the sentencing. They shifted her entire understanding of the case. It was clear to me that force was exercised in those videos. It was clear to me that Ms. Inwood was comatose. Not asleep, but comatose. Unconscious. Absolute. It was clear to me that you were enjoying yourself. That you weren't just taping this on the laptop. It looked like you had to have on some, I couldn't describe it anything other than a GoPro video thing, taping as you were maneuvering yourself and her. You added some extra cameras there for camera angles. So reading the statement of charges and knowing the statement of charges was one thing. Watching those videos was something completely, completely different. What was clear to me was that was not consensual behavior. It was disturbing. And the life that you have led, I do not diminish that. Your education, your success that you've had in the business arena. But you have victimized Ms. Inwood. The damage done to her is probably irreparable knowing that those videos were out there for the world to see. Then, the judge addressed the psych evaluation. After watching those videos, the very first question in my mind was, did Dr. Dean watch those videos when he rendered his evaluation? And Ms. McVitie answered that question for me this morning, and it was no, he didn't watch those videos. So, I now definitely take Dr. Dean's evaluation with a grain of salt, knowing that he didn't see the videos, to understand the conduct that makes up these charges. And I did have some concern when I read the evaluation that there did seem to be some lack of acceptance or responsibility on your part for the crime that you pled guilty to. And as I read this evaluation, I didn't take this as you were saying that I was wrong. I shouldn't have done this. It was, we started down this path, and she told me that when she passed out, I could do whatever I wanted to her. That's not someone who's saying, I know what I did was wrong. That's someone saying, well, she said I could do whatever I want to her when she was comatose. After watching those videos, I don't believe that that's what she said. So, I'm in the position of finding that you were not truly accepting of your guilt or responsibility in this case, Mr. Levengood. You were a predator to Ms. Inwood. Mr. Levengood, you have received the benefit of a plea agreement. Your guidelines are 49 years. She's referring to the sentencing guidelines for second-degree rape. If the case had been a second-degree rape, you would have been sentenced to 15 years. You would have been sentenced to 15 years. Suspend all but 18 months. The judge believed Mike's crimes warranted a 15-year sentence. 18 months is a magic number in Montgomery County. It meant that Mike would go to county jail instead of state prison. and family.
