Betrayed at 17 (1:30) 2011

This Lifetime Channel original movie deals with a very real modern day problem. Lexi is a high school student who has a one night stand with Greg, a football player. What Lexi doesn't know is Greg slept with her on a bet and Greg  videotaped them in bed. Caraleigh, Greg's former boyfriend, forwards the recording to the other students to get revenge on Greg and Lexi. At a party, Greg is shocked to learn that the recording is out there and Lexi is devastated. As she runs from the party, Lexi runs into the street, is hit by a car and killed instantly. The movie up to this point is fairly realistic and timely. The plot thickens as to the responsible person for the leak really is so the focus of the aftermath of a student death is lost.
The first half of the movie is worth viewing as a cautionary tale as to ramifications, intended and unintended, of spreading gossip, texts and  videos.
