You're forgetting that she might have been traumatized once she heard that Ethan filmed her and wasn't thinking straight. Ethan is a manipulator and he used that against her when she was most vulnerable.She wasn't forced, she had sex with her boyfriend and Ethan says he has a recording of it.
I will admit the plot line surrounding it is really dumb in my opinion for this reason....
She is being blackmailed because she wants to be a teacher and if her sex tape got out it would ruin her chances .... so she's being blackmailed into escorting the rich clients Ethan asks her too which would also ruin her chances if it got out.
She has more chance of shutting the blackmail down, because it's an actual crime, whereas escorting is more likely to ruin any chance she has of being a teacher so she's causing more harm than good.
This after the game tries to tell us how intelligent she is and her falling for, arguably, the dumbest blackmail ever because she hasn't even verified the existence of said sex tape.
Also she knows Ethan is trouble, she knows he's been getting more aggressive and she still puts herself in the position to be in where we are now.
So, 2 things are possible here. Either her plotline is dumb on purpose because she's being killed off and it won't matter OR she herself is dumb and falls for the most basic of shit.
1 thing I want to put on record is I love this game. My comments about dumb plotline ONLY counts towards Erynn. She is, by far, the single worst "love interest" in the game (term used loosely because i'm not convinced of her survival ... by all rights she should have won a Darwin award by now) and the fact I have to keep her happy to stay on my Lexi route got on my rather adorable tits.
I can ignore other LI's but i've had to follow this ridiculous blackmail nonsense and her headache enducing thought process of "I can't let a sex tape of my college days filmed without my knowledge and against my will get out because that would ruin my chances of being a teacher .... so now i'm working as what is essentially a high end escort which is far worse but i'm blonde so that's my logic".....
I love the game and I love 99% of the cast I just can't . stand . Erynn.
She probably? knows that she should've handled it differently now but she's too far in to get out of it herself.
