FW: Possible Retainer for a Federal Criminal Investigation/Prosecution¶

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.¶

$$\text{H i},$$¶

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:¶

EFTA00179812¶

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.

2. 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).

3. Traits of psychopathy.

4. 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.¶
