: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.
:13:02
A prominent middle-aged
teacher
:13:03
in a prosperous
Long Island town
:13:05
is charged with sodomizing young
boys who were his students.
:13:08
Police are charging that
sexual abuse went on
:13:10
behind the doors of
17 Picadilly Road in Great Neck.
:13:13
We rang the doorbell.
:13:15
As soon as he realized who it
was, he wasn't gonna let us in.
:13:19
So one of the detectives
broke the door down.
:13:22
And we went into
the premises at that point.
:13:24
Arnold was by himself.
:13:26
His wife was out shopping.
:13:28
I was out to the store to
buy a Thanksgiving turkey.
:13:35
And I go up the front
walk to the house,
:13:39
and there're people
all over the house.
:13:43
And my husband is sitting,
looking very sheepishly
:13:47
in the dining room, handcuffed.
:13:52
By this time, just about
every news organization
:13:55
you could name had
arrived on the scene.
:13:58
I went home for Thanksgiving.
