Notable Quotes 3
Initially my thought was that we could describe in detail, like, one generic visit ... but the problem is that it then instantly becomes impossible to screen new victims.
I think the arrest itself by SDNY will speak to the significance and seriousness of the case and Geoff can talk all he wants about how serious and significant it is without needing additional victim details.
I know we're on the same page here, but just wanted to emphasize my strong view that we should not be disclosing any details that would enable anyone to identify specific victims. Secondarily, but still very importantly, we need to hold back details so that we can corroborate new witnesses.
