<BODY lang=EN-US link=blue bgColor=#ffffff vLink=purple>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Rose,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you for a cogent and well written analysis of the
current Sitler situation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I share all your concerns and more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I believe that Judge Stegner's decision was a legal, but
unwise use of his discretion. He had other options. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>One of the troubling aspects of this ruling is: What happens
after Sitler leaves Idaho jurisdiction and his wife produces children?
Although no one can say for certain whether Sitler will reoffend, the
probabilities seem very great given the large number of individual episodes
and his predilection for very young victims. How will the issue be raised
about the appropriateness of his living with his children outside Idaho
jurisdiction?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Like you, I compliment the DOC's vigilance in this
matter. They also were/are very disgusted, felt insulted, and felt their
carefully researched advice was ignored by the handling of this case by Latah
County Prosecutor William Thompson. They disagreed strongly with the
pre-sentence analysis of Sitler presented by his hired gun so-called
expert. Their rebuttal opportunity to this sophistical, speculative report
was not taken by the prosecutor, who is a next door neighbor to Christ Church
Cult member Roy Atwood, New Saint Andrews head. Sitler was a NSA
student at the time of some of his offenses.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The media and the public are now prevented from finding out
about really how badly this case was handled because many of the really cogent
court documents have been sealed, probably in part as a CYA move by the
judge. I read much of the material before it was sealed. I am sorry
that I did not take more copies when it was available. The initial DOC
sexual evaluation of Sitler would have made Crippen look like a saintly prince
compared to Sitler.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The local newspaper is at grievously at fault here also.
There has been very little publicity about this sordid mess. To get a
letter to the editor accepted, I had to produce a lot of court and other
documents, and then argue for the use of certain brutally frank language.
The <EM>Daily News</EM> and <EM>LMT</EM> could learn from the Hagadone papers
who see child molestation and abuse as serious problems and egregious threats to
the community and give it the coverage that it deserves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If the local media had done their jobs, it is unlikely that
Prosecutor Thompson and Sheriff Wayne Rausch would have survived the last
election. I only hope that they have gut wrenching nightmares about their
roles in this heinous debacle for the rest of their lives; then maybe they might
begin to understand what Sitler's past and future victims
experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This case also demonstrates the great harm that results from
mixing religion beliefs, especially crackpot religious beliefs, into judicial
proceedings. The cult men, who apparently believe that they are carrying
out the wishes of some alleged God, care little for the consequences of these
crackpot beliefs on women, children, and the rest of the community. This
case should serve as a strong warning about the dangers of mixing religion and
state affairs, and especially about allowing religious crackpots to take
disproportionate control of local government and media.</FONT></DIV>

style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">This morning I sat in a nearly
empty courtroom and listened to arguments regarding the June 11th marriage of
Steven Sitler and Katie Travis. The Department of Corrections unambiguously
stated that they did not support this marriage. In late March Mr.
Sitler told his probation officer that in a year or so (predicated,
apparently, on Miss Travis’ graduation from a college program) they want to
start a family. Following that conversation, and because of the
potential risk to any children Mr. Sitler might father, the DOC (Department of
Corrections) requested further psychological evaluation of Mr. Sitler.
The results of his <STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><A

concerns.</SPAN></STRONG><B><o:p></o:p></B></SPAN></P>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Mr.
Wallenwaber, representing Steven Sitler, challenged the appropriateness of the
test in Mr. Sitler’s case, as well as the academic credentials of the
evaluator. (The evaluator has a clinical practice in Coeur d'Alene
“specializing in the treatment and evaluation of sexual offenders” and sits on
the Sexual Offender Classification Board; his credentials seem pretty solid to
me.) This tiresome old rhetorical device of Christ Church members and
leadership, i.e., ad hominem attacks fell, I believe, on deaf ears.
Mr. Wallenwaber also argued that the issue in front of the court today was
marriage, not potential children, which seemed to me to be a accurate
statement.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">The
discussion amongst Latah County Prosecutor , Bill Thompson; Judge
Stegner; and Mr. Wallenwaber, focused, in part, on the legal consequence
if/when Steven Sitler and Katie Travis have children. It may be the case
that Mr. Sitler will not be allowed to share a home with his wife and child or
children. This remedy may be utilized in Idaho when the father is a
convicted pedophile. Judge Stegner ruled that the wedding could go
forward and issues regarding the protection of children will be addressed if
and children are a factor in the marriage.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">I
am troubled that the marriage is going to take place, but I understand that
there is no law that prevents the marriage of convicted pedophiles – I wish
that there were. I learned in court today (courtesy of Mr. Wallenwaber’s
argument) that Mr. Sitler molested young children related to him and that in
2009 with the blessing of some of his therapists, he apparently “reestablished
contact” with the adult family members of those children. It is unclear
(to me) if he is allowed to also be around the family members he victimized.
How nauseating is that mental picture? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">What,
if anything, have we learned about this whole awful situation? <A
href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/CR_2005_02027/Order_SuspSent_Prob.pdf">We
know that Steven Sitler spent (approximately) nine months in custody (with
time out to drive himself to his therapy sessions in
Lewiston).</A> <A
href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/CR_2005_02027/plea_agreement.pdf">We know
that he avoided a prison sentence by agreeing to release some of the names of
his victims</A>. We know he has a little home on Main Street that was
(and may still be) owned by members of Christ Church. We know that Mr.
Sitler has “graduated” (according to Mr. Wallenwaber) from the sexual
offenders Valley Treatment Program in Lewiston/Clarkston. We know that prior
to attending NSA he was homeschooled, by his mother, Roxanne Sitler.

I am more than just a little burdened for our children and have myself been
very involved in the civil sphere. Even though I homeschooled my
children, I continued to be involved in instructional materials committees,
sex ed committees, restructuring committees, etc. and that was just at the
local level. I am still involved today, but over the last six-seven
years of intense researching to uncover what is wrong with public schools and
fighting to change it, God has been gracious enough to simultaneously show me
what a Christian philosophy of education is. “</A></SPAN><SPAN

<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">The
questions that I can’t answer are the ones that are haunt me. Why isn’t
Steven Sitler, a dog’s dinner of a scum bag, sitting in prison right now? Why
was a deal ever cut with this piece of nastiness? Do any of you think
that he revealed all the names of the children he molested - all dozens and
dozens and dozens of them? What led Katie Travis to want to marry this
kind of man? What led Ed Iverson, Doug Wilson, Tim Tucker, and all the
elders of Christ Church, to choose Katie Travis to be their local trash
collector? What could she possibly have done to them to deserve what she
is going to get in the years ahead? They are keenly aware of Steven
Sitler’s long history of molesting young children, and yet they acted as a
trio of grotesque matchmakers (the witches of Macbeth and a bedraggled Greek
chorus comes to mind) in giving their blessing to this match.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">What
impression will parents of perspective students at Logos or NSA have of these
wicked men if/when they learn about the role these church leaders and school
administrators had in facilitating this marriage? And, what in the
name of everything that is loving, nurturing, protective, and responsible
possessed Don and Betsy Travis (the bride’s parents) to approve this tragic
union? There are no answers to these questions because in the world that
most of us live in these issues would never arise. In Christ Church and
other <A href="http://www.crechurches.org/">CREC affiliates</A> patriarchy is
exalted, “decent” <A
href="http://www.feminagirls.com/2011/06/01/submission-when-its-easy/">women
are submissive</A> (and clearly disposable), and leadership decisions
are absolute and unchallenged. It is no wonder that appalling events
take place. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
<H1 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">In
spite of the discouraging outcome of the status hearing today, two people
shone a bright light into the gloomy atmosphere that surrounds a discussion of
pedophilia. Representatives from the Department of Correction, District 2 are
honorable, straightforward, fair, professional and vigilant. I am
grateful to them for their efforts to protect our community, and I am
confident that they will continue to carefully monitor the behavior of Steven
Sitler.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></H1>
