'I'm afraid of seeing him'

"I'm scared to gc to Palm Beach because I'm afraid of seeing him out in public," said Doe No 3, now 21. "They say, 'once a sex offender, always a sex offender.' What makes them think he won't do it again? I'm afraid for future victims I believe every one of his victims is grieving and the just ce system did rot do justice for his victims "

Doe No 5 was 16 at the time of her one encounter She is new 22 and has a young caughter, whom she wants to protect

"It's really upsetting to me," she said. "I'm scared. He's such a powerful man. and I don't know what he's capable of. I would have liked to see him get a 'onger jail term. He just got a slap cn the wrist and what he has done to all of us is never going to leave us."

She said that she gets upset when she hears people accuse the victims of being al' about the money.

"It's about getting justice," she said. 'He's acting like he's the victim and he walks away. I couldn't talk about it for a long time I have flashbacks. I thought 't was all my fault for a long tome and that's the way he wanted me to 'eel?'

'We're outraged that a regste-ec sex offender has such a short sentence," Horowitz said "They put people in jail for longer periods of time for much lesser offenses. Through his guilty admission he has acknowledged that he's a sex offender Our clients have a life sentence of dealing with his abuse anc he gets a slap on the wrist."

West Palm Beach attorney Spencer Kuvin represented Jane Doe No. 1. who has settled her lawsuit. Kuvin said he could not disclose the amount because of a confidentiality agreement. But he did say tat she didn't want to be in the public eye anymore.

"She was not happy with the resolution," Kuvin said, "but she wanted 't over. He's got investigators in the civil cases trying to dig up dirt on every one of his accusers. The disgusting thing is that he pleads the fifth on everything that's been asked of him and row he

"A man with unlimited wealth can hire people to follow her, dig into every crevice of her personal life and re-victimize her all over again. A convicted pedophile released on the streets?
