P-
(a) I believe that the defendant will not appear In court in response to a criminal
summons because: The nature of this crime is heinous and without regard to the
Innocence of the children belonging to the suspect. This crime carries with it a
severe punishment which could include a lengthy prison sentence. Tha nature of the
crime also carries a social stigma hi which society tends to cast out a suspect or
convict of crimes of this nature. Therefore, it leads me to believe that the suspect
would not Appear in open court to fae^eharges of this nature without being
1 compelled to do. so by a warrant iforjbis arrest
*
(b) I believe tjiat the djpfentant poses a danger to; One of the victims of these crimes is
an immediate blood relative of the suspect The suspect retains his parental rights at
•'* this time. These crimes were facilitated to due the nature of that relationship. Given
* that relationship it creates a situation where a substantial risk to the children's
physical well-being and mental state and are also placed in constant jeopardy.
(c) Or a danger to the comxnunity because: Anyone who has a child and purports to
love that child and would commit these crimes against that child should be deemed
a sexual predator. Therefore, it creates a substantial risk to the community and the
public as a whole.

;
(a) I believe that the defendant will not appear in court in response to'a criminal
sutmnous because: The nature of this crime is heinous and without regard to the
innocence of the children belonging to the suspect. This crime carries with it a
severe punishment which could include a lengthy prison sentence. The nature of the
crime also carries a social stigma in which society tends to cast out a suspect or
convict of crimes of this nature. Therefore, it leads me to believe that the suspect
would not appear in open court io face charges of this nature without being
compelled to do so by a warrant for her arrest
(b) Ifoelieve that the defendant poses a danger to: One of the victims of these crimes is
ail immediate blood relative of the suspect. The suspect retains her parental rights
at this time. These crimes were facilitated1^ due the nature of that relationship.
Given that relationship it creates a situation where u substantial risk to the
children's physical well-being and mental state and are also placed in constant
jeopardy.
(c) Or a danger to the community because: Anyone who has a child and purports to
love that child and would commit these crimes against that child should be deemed
a sexual predator. Therefore, it creates a substantial risk to the community and the
public as a whole.
