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

Hi – 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 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.¶

Hi,¶
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.¶

Hi : 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.¶
EFTA00204713¶
As I mentioned, the case is not yet indicted, so there is no firm timeline in place.¶
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.¶

Hi,¶
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¶
at your convenience.¶
PS That email address is having trouble. Please send emails to¶

Dear¶
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:¶
-
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.
-
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).
-
Traits of psychopathy.
-
Effects of abuse on victims.
