The TV network Lifetime traditionally shows an almost continual stream of women-in-jeopardy movies; us Neanderthal male TV watchers have made a lot of jokes about it. But it's been successful, and why change what works?

LIFETIME kicks off its exciting new summer line up with the premiere of the LIFETIME Original movie, "Scared Silent," starring Penelope Ann Miller ("Carlito's Way," "The Relic," "Along Came a Spider"), Reed Diamond ("Homicide," "Judging Amy," "Three Days") and Andrew Jackson ("The Last Don II," "Earth: Final Conflict"). It's the haunting story of a determined group of women, all raped by the same police officer, who challenge the male-dominated legal system to bring their rapist to justice. "Scared Silent" premieres Monday, May 20, from 9-11 PM (ET/PT) on LIFETIME Television.

You can't make this stuff up.
