Lee Parks was a human tri-vids writer accused by the Clark administration of disloyalty and spreading anti-Earth messages to outside forces through his work. He was arrested and tortured into confessing the charges and implicating fellow writer Carelton Jericho and actors Beth Trumbo and Adrian Mostel. After his confession was broadcast on ISN, news anchor Alison Higgins stated that Parks had since been sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
