The Accused is a 1988 American legal drama film directed by Jonathan Kaplan and written by Tom Topor, loosely inspired by the 1983 gang rape of Cheryl Araujo in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Starring Kelly McGillis and Jodie Foster, the film follows Sarah Tobias (Foster), a waitress who is gang raped by three men at a local bar. With the help of District Attorney Katheryn Murphy (McGillis), she sets out to prosecute the rapists, as well as the men who encouraged the assault. The Accused was theatrically released in the United States on October 14, 1988, and was screened at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival on February 13, 1989, where it was nominated for the Golden Bear.
