When He's Not a Stranger is a 1989 American Made for TV crime drama film directed by John Gray and starring Annabeth Gish and John Terlesky. The screenplay concerns a college freshman who is physically and sexually assaulted by a controlling football jock. It sums up the ordeal that rape victims experience and the sexual assault on college campuses. A stark dramatization of the "acquaintance rape" dilemma, it was originally to be broadcast on October 17, 1989, but pushed to November 6th of that year because of coverage surrounding the earthquakes in Northern California.
