"In the criminal 'justice' system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. But only if the perpetrators aren't wealthy."

Why does the caption/transcription say there are five girls? I count six.

Yeah, I simply miss-counted. It's fixed in the alt-text now.

Sorry, I can't give a better answer than @samus12345@sh.itjust.works did 😅

Thanks, gonna edit it straight away.

By the way, I encourage anyone to just post an alternative alt-text in the comments, if they ever feel one is missing or not good enough, should they feel like it. It makes it easier for any OP to edit-in, and for folks who need it, they might look at the comments. It's just a net positive. There might be value in using a hash-tag for this as well.
And this is not to move away from OP responsibilities, but, ya know, shit happens.
