“They will never wipe my smile away. I embraced this fight from day one.”

Some individuals would rather I “move on already”. I tried every way imaginable to resolve the issues quietly, respectfully and “move on". I didn’t choose this fight, this fight chose me. A person can only put their life on hold for so long, take so much abuse, and lose so much before fighting back.

My perseverance is thanks to support from family, friends, representatives of the sheriffs and police departments, school administrators, teachers, students, attorneys, firemen, the communities of Hampton Bays and even Middle Country Central School District. It’s because of the positive character traits described that I continue (see Testimonials). I was asked, "Why is it so important to them? Why don't they help someone in need?" I don’t have the answer but after all that's been done I would still help all those who played a role. I'm better than them.

A lot was said while I was silenced for 5 years. I made mistakes and have had my share of regrets and low moments. However, the person described by authorities was a fictitious character created by individuals driven to destroy me. If ANYONE would like to discredit me I will gladly and respectfully discuss the issues in a public forum, anytime, anyplace. I don’t hide behind attorneys, spokesmen or PR representatives.

I am forced to act as my own attorney. I utilized numerous discovery methods and performed private investigations and interviews. I have acquired an abundant amount of documentation, including police and court records, sworn affidavits, depositions, interrogatories, etc. Whether I am awarded damages in a court of law is a separate issue. My goal is to have the truth told, inform and inspire with the real story of a system we have allowed, through ignorance and indifference, to destroy the innocent without a moment’s concern for fairness or truth.

It was February 9^th, 2006 when Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer stood in front of television cameras and in effect called me a terrorist. As I rotted in a Suffolk County jail, reporters were told that a thorough police investigation brought charges filed by seven random women. There was only one problem…there was no investigation. The complainants were friends, coworkers or close relatives. Three were involved in sexual relationships. The “evidence” was a web of stolen phone records (obtained by identity theft) and a doctored recording that would have made the Nixon administration blush with envy. Even Superintendent Joanne Loewenthal stated the arresting officers were “idiots”.

The architects of the set up, school teacher Michelle Konik-Brosdal and her former student Stephanie Veraldi, actually continued harassing me months after the arrest via internet, telephone, and/or in person. Michelle Konik-Brosdal even tracked me down in Las Vegas in April 2006! Nobody cared, instead the witch hunt continued. Authorities publicly invited all women who ever received a disturbing phone call to come forward. They attempted to secure perhaps 30 additional charges as this teacher and student led their investigation! They never received one call…not even a prank call.

The DA's office announced their readiness for trial in spring of 2006 but they knew their case was baseless and continually delayed. Although I was pilloried in the press I stayed respectful and performed the investigation the police claimed they did. The truth is the arrest and prosecution was not a simple mistake. A conspiracy was methodically planned. Officers carefully calculated how and when to make the arrest. The media was used as a weapon, fed with brutal lies that compounded the enormous public scrutiny. The DA’s office acted as accomplices, burying the truth to save face.

After losing everything and living out of my car in the winter of 2010, I’m still standing and still very much smiling. If Officer’s Wayne Heter and Michael Cosgrove did ANY investigating at all they would have learned I would never quit. Police officers uphold truth and justice, they don’t seek and destroy. Sometimes the powers at be do not want the truth to be heard. Those powers can’t always get away with suppressing others. Our country was founded on the principles of fighting for what we believe in. I stand on principal and that is not always an easy thing to do. Like the bully in the courtyard, these powers picked a fight with the kid who was willing to stand and get his licks in win or lose.

“I will not stop until I have my say...ever”
