Father, Ned Sainte
At the time Ned Sainte was COO of Tri-Optimum Corporation, around 5-6 years ago, Sarah (16/17, late high school) glanced at some papers/etc. and accidentally discovered some discrepancies. Ned looked into it and found some actual malfeasance on the part of some of the board members, and dutifully brought it to the attention of his long-time friend, the CEO. This resulted in a god-awful, nasty mess, that ended with the CEO's unceremonious firing (replaced by one of the offenders), followed by Ned's legal prosecution soon after for the "leak." Ned was completely ruined, socially, then legally; Sarah was only just able to escape a similar fate on account of her minority, though not for lack of effort on the plaintiffs' part. The trial was railroaded through, and he was sentenced to minimum-security prison for 10 years. Due to some of the shenaniganry, both real and manufactured, and his incarceration, his wife (Sarah's mother) eventually divorced him and moved away. He has maybe half his sentence remaining, with the possibility he could get out on parole, but Sarah keeps digging, hoping to clear his name.
