:11:00
And in addition to that,
we found evidence
:11:03
of a computer class being
taught there by Mr. Friedman.
:11:07
And we did seize
some list of names
:11:11
that we thought
could be students.
:11:14
I remember walking
in there saying,
:11:17
"Goddamn. We could
have a problem here. "
:11:24
Just when you think everything
is going to be dull,
:11:27
something gets dropped
on your lap, you know,
:11:30
and it turns out to be something
bigger than you ever thought.
:11:34
What happened was one
of the detectives
:11:36
from the vice squad
came in to see me.
:11:38
And he had a list.
:11:39
And it was at that point that
we were able to learn
:11:41
that these were computer
classes that went on
:11:44
literally every day of
the week and Saturday.
:11:47
And we drew a big map of the
whole village of Great Neck
:11:51
sectioned it off, and started
sending detectives out
:11:55
to do interviews.
:11:56
She set us up in teams,
:11:58
male/female teams.
:12:01
And we got a list
of alleged victims.
:12:06
Soon as we went
into the house,
:12:08
we were usually approached
by the mothers.
:12:10
And we explained why we're
there, what we're doing there,
:12:13
and we'd really like to
talk to their children,
:12:15
preferably alone.
:12:17
The parents were
becoming impatient.
:12:20
They wanted something
done immediately.
:12:23
But you always want to be very
careful about how you proceed,
:12:26
because the one thing
that you worry about
:12:29
I know I worried about
it all the time, is
:12:32
just charging somebody
with this kind of a crime
:12:36
is enough to ruin their lives.
:12:38
So you want to make sure that
you have enough evidence
:12:41
and that you're convinced that
you're making a good charge.
:12:47
And how much time was
there between the time
:12:49
the postal inspector
searched the house
:12:51
and the time that you went
in for the second search?
:12:53
Well, it would have been
less than a month,
:12:55
because we did that the day
before Thanksgiving.
