How about 9 am central time? I am still confused, however. Are you expecting me to fly to Florida to testify? Anna

Hi Dr. Salter – This really won’t be a record-intensive case. How about if we talk on Monday and I can fill you in on what the case involves and where I think you can really help us. I am hoping you can help educate the jury on issues related to the victims and the perpetrator. I do not have any appointments scheduled for Monday, so any time that day will work for me. Just let me know when and what number I should use to call you.

Thank you again.

P. S. I keep trying to send mail to your tds.com e-mail address and it is returned to me as undeliverable.

I just faxed over a signed contract. However, I’m not sure what kind of consultation you are looking for, but generally if there are a lot of records, it takes more than 6 hours to read and report on them. In any case, I’m happy to set up a phone conference to get started. Is there anything you want to send me first in terms of records, or are there questions that you have that you are hoping I can speak to?

Next week I am gone Tuesday and Wednesday but here the other days. Anna Salter

Hi Dr. Salter: After a lot of paperwork, my office has finally gotten the procurement for you to serve as a consultant on my case. I understand that the contract was sent to you and I wondered if you had received it.

As I mentioned, the case is not yet indicted, so there is no firm timeline in place. The FBI Agents and I would like to consult with you prior to the final presentation to the grand jury so that we can include some of your information as part of that presentation.

Can you let me know about the contract and also when you might be available for a telephone conference? Perhaps we could do a short one to go over the background of the case and then I could send you some materials that we could discuss during a longer conference.

Thank you for your assistance.

These are all things I could testify about. Can you tell me the time-line?

I charge $250/hour for everything: reading records, testifying, etc. For traveling I charge from the time I leave the house until I arrive at the hotel, and then again the next day from the time I leave the hotel until I return to the hotel or to my home. I don’t ask for a retainer.

If that’s acceptable, please give me a call at 608-238-8223 at your convenience. Anna Salter

PS That email address is having trouble. Please send emails to acsalter@tds.net.

Dear Dr. Salter:

I am a federal prosecutor in West Palm Beach, Florida, and the District-wide coordinator of child exploitation cases for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. I have been reviewing your book, Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, & Other Sex Offenders, and have found it immensely informative.

I am considering undertaking a prosecution, and I am hoping that you would consider serving as an expert consultant and possible witness for the case. The types of issues that I am hoping you can address include:

  1. Why victims do not report sexual abuse and, when discovered, why it may take several sessions for a victim to disclose all of the sexual activity that took place.

  1. Different types of paraphilia — in particular, describing a predator’s interest in post-pubescent children (many people are asking why we should prosecute someone who didn’t go after really young children).

  2. Traits of psychopathy.

  3. Effects of abuse on victims.

When you have a chance, would you mind calling or e-mailing me? My direct dial number is shown below. You also can contact Special Agent Nesbitt Kuyrkendall, with the FBI, at 561 822-5946.

Thank you.
