Barry, I'm sorry but as I am traveling in europe I did not receive your e-mail until today. . Yes it sounds familiar, it reminds me of the Harley case , the one that you had previously sent to me, but, even worse .I am quite familiar with the case,
and in fact had considered sending it to you, but
didn't want to appear pedantic. Morganthau's office said this was clearly an easy case to bring as the aggravating circumstances were so egregious.I am certain that his office would never bring my case . In his case;
The welfare case worker acted both professionally and appropriately in immediately
notifiying the authorities, that this man,(until yesterday a fugitive also charged with witness bribery) with full
knowledge of the age of the victims, paid their
mother,( charged with pimping), who said "her daughters
made money for her",, , to have sex with them, three to
five times a week, , initially in different locations
and then in an apartment set aside for the purpose,
for near five years..When the girls refused to go back
she allegedly forced them to return. Not only did he
have a specific financial arrangement clearly for full blown sex but the girls have
said that in addition ,his severely perverted abuse consisted of coercing his victims
to not only tattoo his name on various parts of their
bodies,(in an attempt to make them his property) but also tattoing on them his favorite cars
and horses . His distinctive behavior , with full
knowledge , over a long period of time , sex with girls as
young as thirteen , pimped by their mother,easily met the
well established high threshold required to bring
these types of charges.As the facts in my case are so
clearly distinguishable ,if I may remind you: There are no aggravating cirumstances,(Dahlia suggested" volume") the vast majority of the girls were over age ,only a very small number, who lied about their age, were able to get through,and of the many girls interviewed, except for what we now agree to have been from a girl of totally unreliable character , the girls had said that no sexual intercourse , vaginal or oral, was even attempted, and no coercion , drugs, or alcohol was even suggested( the "volume", in fact supports this) The allegation of the one underage girl to which you referred previously has not been made known to us, but at worst case would be a one-time event with no sexual vaginal , anal , or oral intercourse. At it's very worst , a case similar to the fifteen year old stripper that you and I discussed at our first meeting.A case you said" you would never charge". These set of facts stand in stark contrast to those in the two cases presented to us ( we have been unable to find the "elderly "case )and should be able to provide to you
both comfort and reassurance , that the only fair
decision, I beleive, in my case ,would be for you to thoughtfully execute your discretion ,based on
precedent, judgement of the credibility of both your
witnesses and their allegations, keeping in mind your firm
policy that the punishment should equal the harm,
and to make the carefully reasoned decision not to bring charges in this case. Considering all the facts,
I am firmly convinced that this is the right thing to do. I you like I
can make myself available , by phone , for the rest of the
week, or if you prefer, come to see you , and your assistants anytime next
week.
With great respect
