Chapter 14 - UNMASKING THE MONSTER IN COURTAt the federal arraignment the following morning, the courtroom was packed to the doors with journalists and legal analysts. Logan’s defense lawyers tried to argue that the charges were baseless fabrications by a "distressed victim," but the prosecution calmly placed our evidence files onto the judges' desks.

The courtroom loudspeakers suddenly filled with the crisp, unmistakable audio recording of Logan’s voice in my hospital room: “I needed Maya to be physically unable to show up... If she’s permanently scarred, it’s actually better for me... Who else do you think would ever want to leave me?” The devastating confession played across national television networks, stripping away his pop-star aura and exposing him as a calculating, sadistic criminal. Logan buried his face in his hands as the judge denied bail and ordered him remanded directly to a federal detention facility.
