This whole "protecting Erica" storyline is nonsensical. Brandon already published the name of the pimp, and the pimp knows who Brandon and Kelly are, that Erica's gone and that Brandon and Kelly were helping her leave him. So, Brandon isn't protecing Erica from the Riggs. The only person he's protecting Erica from is the DA. And since Erica is underage, her name can't be published anyway, so Brandon's not protecting Erica from public exposure.

On top of which, the DA pressing charges against the member of the press for being an accessory is blatant, deliberate misrepresentation that would get her disbarred.

All of which just makes this storyline incredibly annoying.

P.S. Why does anyone spend any time with, or tell anything to Valerie ever? Gahh.
