Attorney Philip Allen Lacovara provides personal guarantee for safety of children

October 27, 2009 Philip Allen Lacovara Attorney at Law Mayer Brown Law Firm New York, NY Dear Mr. Lacovara, I do not understand why you have not responded to my request of two weeks ago. In my letter, I pointed out that you, your wife, Madeline, and nine other individuals signed a letter in which you declared that Doug Perlitz is innocent of all child sex abuse allegations brought against him. In addition, you said that the alleged victims are liars. Mr. Lacovara, you are a partner in a prestigious New York law firm. By signing the letter in which you defended Perlitz from any and all child  sex abuse charges, you have in a real sense provided a personal guarantee to moms and dads that their children are safe from Perlitz. You are also guaranteeing that if Perlitz is released on bond, no child in Fairfield County will be sexually molested by Perlitz and no child in Haiti will be threatened or intimidated by him. It appears you are willing to put your personal and professional reputation (and the lives of children) on the line for the sake of Douglas Perlitz.  You are willing to take risks with the lives of innocent children that I am not prepared to take. Where is your voice?  Do not be afraid.    Please issue a public statement that explains to concerned parents why they need not worry about Perlitz's presence in the community.  Paul Kendrick Freeport, Maine 207 838 1319       Begin forwarded message: From: Paul Kendrick <kendrickpt@aol.com> October 11, 2009 Philip Allen Lacovara Attorney at Law Mayer Brown New York, NY Dear Mr. Lacovara, In September 2008, you and twelve other people (including your wife, Madeline) signed a letter in which you argued that allegations of child sex abuse against Douglas Perlitz are false. Perlitz is the co-founder of Project Pierre Toussaint in Haiti. Three weeks ago, Perlitz was arrested in Colorado by U.S. Marshalls. As you know, there is also a warrant for Perlitz's arrest in Haiti for child sex abuse. In addition, Perlitz has been indicted  by a U.S. federal grand jury for nine counts of child sex abuse. Four investigative agencies, including the U.S. State Department and Homeland Security have compiled evidence of child sex abuse against Perlitz. Perlitz is currently attempting to be released on bond pending his trial. Perlitz's attorney is arguing that many people support Perlitz and believe in his innocence. You are one of those people, Mr. Lacovara. It is obvious that you don't believe one word of the victims' statements. It seems that you have evidence supporting Perlitz's innocence; evidence that none of the  investigative agencies know about. As such, you are willing to place Perlitz back on the streets of Fairfield, Connecticut. I suppose it's easier to put kids at risk when they're not your own. An ankle bracelet won't prevent a child molester from abusing again. An ankle bracelet won't prevent Perlitz from using prepaid cell phones to continue to threaten and intimidate his victims in Haiti. If you are willing to risk the lives of innocent children, Mr. Lacovara (you signed the letter defending Perlitz's innocence), then what is it that you know that we can tell parents in Fairfield and the children in Haiti to reassure them that no harm will come to them while Perlitz is free on bail? I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Paul Kendrick Freeport, Maine 207 838 1319
