- Public Outcry: As news leaked about the content of the videos, the public was outraged. It wasn't just the assault; it was the violation of privacy and the predatory nature of his actions against unconscious victims.
- The Fugitive: Realizing the gravity of his situation, Justin Lee went into hiding shortly after the investigation began. For nearly three weeks, he evaded police. There were allegations that his wealthy family was assisting him in avoiding capture, which further infuriated the public.
- Surrender: Under immense pressure from the media and law enforcement, and with his family's assets potentially at risk, Lee eventually surrendered to prosecutors in late August 2012. His father, who had initially stood by him, famously told the press that his son "should die" if the allegations were true, highlighting the family's desperation and shame.
