And how do they survive when someone that intelligent uses everything he's learned against them? This movie goes somewhere you'll never expect. Find out an experience the scares for yourself, only in theaters January 9th. Eight days later. Eight days.
Starting point is 00:00:30 That's how long it took for the whole narrative to start shifting again. At first, Gokin thought he was safe. He had given his statement, painted Elena as unstable, and even waved around the idea of having camera footage to back him up. For a few days, it looked like the system might actually let him walk away from everything. But then came the prosecution's detailed report. The investigators had combed through her phone, her social media, her circle of full. friends. They had seen the messages, the threats, the constant pressure. They had pieced
Starting point is 00:01:06 together the puzzle. So, on the eighth day after Elena's tragic death, the judge reviewed the prosecutor's findings and issued a new order, arrest Gokin again. This time, the list of accusations was heavy, and it hit like a brick wall. He was charged with incitement to suicide. Blackmail, intentional injury, threats, insults, violation of privacy. In other words, the whole arsenal of toxic behavior he had been hiding behind closed doors was now written down in legal terms. Gokin's love story. When dragged back into custody, Gokin didn't exactly shut up. He gave a new statement, one that was noticeably different from his earlier version. This time, he openly admitted, yes, he had a relationship with Elena.
Starting point is 00:02:11 He tried to spin it as a romance, as if calling it love could wash away the manipulation, the power imbalance, the fact that she was barely 18 while he was 43. He insisted their intimacy was consensual. But here's where his story started shifting in a way that made everyone raise. an eyebrow. In the earlier version, he had said their last meeting was days before she died. Now, he suddenly claimed their last intimate encounter happened the night before her death. And there was more. He now added that on the very morning of her death, they had gone to a pharmacy together. The reason? To buy a pill to prevent a possible pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It was a huge twist in his own narrative. Almost like he was trying to reshape the timeline, maybe even preparing an explanation for why her phone and his messages might show more than he wanted the world to see. Behind bars. Despite his lawyer's frantic attempts to get him out again, this time the legal system held on. The judicial process began with him sitting behind bars, not sipping coffee in some expensive cafe like he might have hoped. And it wasn't going to be a simple trial either. The authorities split the process into two parallel cases. One for blackmail and physical assault. Another, much bigger one for incitement to suicide, the most serious of all the charges.
Starting point is 00:03:46 The stakes. Enormous. For the suicide charge, the prosecutor requested life imprisonment without parole. That meant no chance of shaving off years for good behavior. If convicted, Gokin would rot in prison until his last breath. The first trial, April 2022. The first trial for blackmail and assault kicked off in April 2022. By now, Elena's name was everywhere. Women's rights groups were following the case like Hawks. Reporters camped outside the courthouse.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Every detail was dissected, debated, tweeted. Gokin's defense team repeated the same chorus over and over again, he was innocent, the relationship was consensual, Elena was a willing participant. They even tried to paint him as the victim of public opinion, as if he were some poor man being dragged through the mud by rumours. During the hearings, he wasn't physically in the courtroom. Instead, he appeared via a video system from his detention center in NIGDA, while the hearings themselves were held and endure. That distance, however, didn't protect him from the glares
Starting point is 00:05:02 of Elena's family. Finally, after months of back and forth arguments, the Judicial Committee entered the room and read out the verdict. Gokin Narjan, 43 years old, was sentenced to two years in prison plus a $300 fine for the crime of blackmail. He also got an additional four months of prison time for physical assault. It wasn't much. To the family, it was crumbs compared to the damage he had done. The family lawyer speaks. Elena's family's lawyer, a man named Egan, stood outside the...

Find out and experience the scares for yourself, only in theaters January 9th. The courthouse afterward and didn't hold back. He called the sentence incomplete, a slap in the face of justice. The accusations of sexual assault hadn't been properly considered, he said. And then he dropped a bombshell,
Starting point is 00:06:22 Elena hadn't been the only victim. From messages and emails uncovered in the investigation, some of them sent by Gokin's own son, it became clear that Gokin had been manipulating other young women too. He lured them in with money, with promises of luxury gifts, and then trapped them in the same twisted cycle of abuse and blackmail. One name stood out, a girl called Bysa. According to the lawyer, she had been forced to leave the city altogether just to escape Gokin's harassment. She refused to talk, too afraid of what might happen if she spoke out.
Starting point is 00:07:00 This revelation made it clear that Elena's tragedy was not an isolated case. Gokin wasn't just a manipulative man, he was a predator with a pattern. July 2022, the Big One. The second trial, the one everyone had been waiting for, came in July 22. This was the case. for incitement to suicide. In Turkish law, if someone forces another person to end their life through threats, manipulation, or physical pressure, it isn't just considered a tragedy, it's treated as intentional homicide. The courtroom was packed. Journalists lined the back walls. Protesters filled the streets outside. People held signs with Elena's face, chanting for justice. And when the verdict came down,
Starting point is 00:07:52 the room erupted. Gokin was found guilty. The sentence, life in prison. What life in prison means? Now, life in prison in Turkey doesn't always mean forever. By law, the minimum term without parole is 24 years. But for certain criminals, especially in cases like this, parole isn't mandatory at all. Judges can decide not to grant it, meaning the convicted never walks free again.
Starting point is 00:08:26 For Gokin, that was exactly the case. The announcement spread like wildfire. Women's organizations posted celebratory statements. Crowds cheered in front of the courthouse. For once, it felt like justice had actually been served, like the system had stood up for a young woman instead of blaming her. The appeal Of course, Gokin's defense team didn't give up.
Starting point is 00:08:55 They immediately filed an appeal, hoping to chip away at the sentence, maybe even get it overturned. But the wheels of justice turned slowly, and it wasn't until October 24, three whole years after Elena's death, that the appeals court finally gave its answer. The decision was firm, the appeal was rejected. The life sentence was confirmed. The court officially declared that Gokin Narjan was responsible for Elena's tragic end. A bitter kind of relief. For Elena's family, the decision didn't bring her back. It didn't erase the nightmares or the gaping hole she left behind.
Starting point is 00:09:38 But it did bring a kind of relief, a sense that her voice had finally been heard through the noise of lies and manipulations. For women's rights groups across Turkey, the ruling was more than just one case. It was a symbol, proof that pushing back mattered, that protesting, demanding, and refusing to stay silent could force the system to act. A symbol beyond her life. Elena Agan's case turned into something bigger than anyone could have predicted. She became a symbol of the fight against gender-based violence in Turkey. Her story was mentioned by the Women's Rights Commission of the Turkish Bar Association, who highlighted it as a glaring example of the injustices women face every day.
Starting point is 00:10:25 They used her case in reports, speeches, even training sessions for young lawyers. The harassment she suffered, the blackmail, the sexual coercion, the way her desperate cries for help were ignored until it was too late, it all became part of a national conversation. Her name, her face, her story still echo in the streets, in classrooms, in protests. She is remembered not just as a victim but as a rallying cry. The echo that won't fade. Even now, years later, the memory of Elena carries weight. People still whisper about the way she begged for help, the way she was cornered until she saw no escape. They still shake their heads at how long it took.
Starting point is 00:11:11 took for the truth to come out, and how close Gokin came to walking free. Her story continues to push people, lawyers, activists, families, to demand better. Better investigations, faster protection, harsher consequences for predators. And maybe that's her legacy. Not the tragedy of her last moments, but the fire her case ignited, a fire that refuses to die. because Elena, like so many young women silence too soon, deserves more than just tears and flowers. She deserves to be remembered as the spark of change. The end.
