It’s been a while since Lifetime tore into the newspapers to find a story to tell, and Abducted by My Teacher: The Elizabeth Thomas Story is here to fix that. This ripped-from-the-headlines thriller tells the harrowing true tale of Elizabeth Thomas, a high school student who survived coercion, abduction, and assault from a high school teacher as well as undeserved public scorn from the community that once rallied around her. She stood strong and ultimately delivered the testimony that put the creepy teacher behind bars. And that’s not a spoiler so much as it was national news back in 2017.
