During Mike Delaney's time at college, he raped at least ten women, usually by taking them on a date, charming them with a paper rose, then forcing himself on them. Only two women reported him. Regie Kunze reported him to the Dean, who did nothing. Regie revealed to Lilly Rush that she had gotten pregnant out of the rape but "took care of it" on her own. Tessie Bartram went to the police, but no charges were laid.
Mike marked his victims in his yearbook with a drawing of a rose. He was selected to be Valedictorian, despite the Dean knowing about at least one of the rapes. In his speech, he quoted Martin Luther King Jr. - "our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter".
A number of Mike's victims eventually made contact with each other, writing on the wall of a women's washroom, including Tessie, Regie, Shaina McNulty, Melinda Levy, and Karin Hensley. For Shaina, who had attempted to tell her father, only to be blamed for it herself, the ordeal proved too much, and she committed suicide. The other four women eventually conspired to stop him together.
Shortly after graduation, Mike was confronted in the quad by Tessie, Melinda, Karin, and Regie. Mike initially dismissed their accusations and started to leave until Tessie pulled out a gun she'd been given by a sympathetic policewoman, Maggie Lafferty. Frightening Mike to the point of wetting his pants, they forced him at gunpoint to admit that he had raped them. Regie urged Tessie to kill Mike, but she refused, declaring that she didn't want to become him.
Several of Mike's victims, including Tessie, Regie, Karin, and Melinda, were interviewed with suspicion passing between them, until the investigation led to Jimmy, Tessie's younger brother and now a lawyer.
