Lifetime's newest, "based on a true story" movie "Restless Virgins" may be a familiar story for those familiar with Milton Academy. The film chronicles a sex scandal at a prestigious New England prep school called Sutton Prep School, but is based on the New York Times best-seller by Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley about Milton Academy.
Jones and Miley, both Milton Academy graduates, penned the book, also titled "Restless Virgins," about a group of seniors during the 2004-2005 school year.
The film stars Vanessa Marano (Switched at Birth), Max Lloyd-Jones (Supernatural), Charlie Carver (Desperate Housewives) and Emmy Award winner Timothy Busfield (The West Wing).
The following description of the movie was provided by Lifetime:
"Restless Virgins" uncovers a world where privileged teens, thriving on exploitation and manipulation, run wild at a New England prep school. The film follows Emily (Marano), a scholarship student and the editor of the school newspaper who struggles with the daily stresses of high school and adolescence: fitting in, getting into the right college and trying to find love. But when Emily discovers five senior members of the lacrosse team madea sex tape with a classmate, she blows the lid off the controversy by releasing the tape virally. The scandal made national headlines that shocked America, leading the elite school to expel multiple students, including a U.S. Senator’s son.
"Restless Virgins" airs Saturday, March 8, at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.

Great, another blemish for the town. I'm not for it. Like most shows and movies this will encourage children and teens. Oh they will, show that it is bad, but it will also demonstrate how they got caught. and that will encourage others to try it but not get caught. It's like kids drinking in Cunningham Park at night. They learned to only have a couple of brews with them while hanging out. Keep the rest hidden away.When the cops come, drop what you have and run. The cops will stop and grab the evidence while the kids get away. The kids come back after the cops have gone and dig out the rest that was hidden. And how do I know this? Because I used to do it. and I learned it from watching Dragnet. And I was never caught.

Better to brush it under the rug because no chance people can learn anything from shedding light on a bad event right?
