Meet the Friedmans

Seth, Jesse,
Elaine, Arnold, and David

A Quiet Little Community In
NY

The Friedman House Was A Tiny
Bungalow

One Of Jewry's Most Explosive Incidences

Every now and then, there is a crime so ghastly, that even
the Jewish media control can't prevent the world from knowing. The
crimes of the Friedmans were so atrocious, that no string pulling was
going to stop this investigation.

They were running a day care in the morning, and
teaching computers to 8, 9, and 10 yr olds in the afternoon. They were
found to have molested  hundreds of children, and taken extensive
video and photographic files on their molestations.

The father is a Columbia University graduate, and a high school

The Father Likes Porno

It all starts in 1984 when a postal inspector finds a child porn
magazine, and decide to keep a close eye on Arnold.

Postal Police Investigate
Poppa

In July, 1984, U. S.
Customs officials at Kennedy became suspicious of small parcels in plain
brown wrappers from Holland. When they decided to open it they found a
magazine called Boy Love, graphic pictures of men having sex with
children.

A undercover postal inspector wrote to Arnold Friedman
and asked if he had "boy lover" material to sell. "I have none to sell
but am interested in obtaining," Friedman responded three days later.
"Do you know of any sources?"

Investigator Keeps
Tabs

The inspector, Stan,
wrote back but heard nothing from Friedman for more than a
year.

Arnold Friedman Contacts

In 1985, Friedman
sends his pen pal a book,
`Joe and his Uncle'. Feb. 8,
1986 Arnie sends two photos to Stan, with a
note ~ "Stan - Enjoy! Arnie." These
may have been from his computer
class.

Nov. 3, 1987 ....First Raid

Government officials and Nassau police raided
the home and found a foot-high stack of child pornography in
the living room.

And there were grimmer discoveries - child-sized dildoes in a
cabinet just outside a makeshift classroom. They also found a list
of 80 names and phone numbers handwritten in Friedman's tortured,
tiny scrawl.

Police realized that they had found something that went far
beyond pornographic magazines. They intensified the
investigation.

Detective Sgt. Frances Galasso

The policewoman heading the investigation. Galasso said “ the
Friedman home as a nightmarish
den of depravity, with stacks of
pornography visible everywhere “

It resembled a professional photography
studio.

Love Den

Arnold Freidman’s office was there – a bathroom, and the room where
Jesse slept. A sign on the wall called his domain
"Paradise 7." Officials estimate that about 500
youngsters, the great majority of them boys, participated in the
classes

Authorities accused Arnold and Jesse Friedman of raping boys, battering
them, and threatening
them with further assault, even death, if they told.  He said:
~  "Jesse only became involved three or four years
ago."

The Routine Used On The Children

Arnold had a cabinet where he kept the computer discs, and he
had  porn magazines intermixed with them. Arnold slowly introduced
the children to things like "Stroker," in which the player could make a
graphic representation of a man masturbate. And "Strip Poker," in which
a prone woman figure would shed clothing as the game progressed until
she was naked.

Arnold's Special Place

Or "Talking Sam" in which a male figure would expose his
genitals and ask the kids questions about sex.

Det.
Sgt. Frances Galasso, head of the Nassau sex crimes unit, said
the Friedmans had the children mimic the actions of the computer
figure in "Talking Sam." "The Friedmans would demonstrate that on
the kids, touch them on their private parts and have the kids
touch them."

Others Involved

Along with Arnold and Jesse Friedman the police said they expect to
arrest as many as four
acquaintances of Jesse Friedman in the burgeoning case. There were
at least two
adults involved.

kids."

were convicted.

Only Arnold, Jesse, and Ross Goldstien went to prison. Arnold was
sent to a country club in Wisconsin, Jesse went to Danamora, and Ross
spent six months under protective
custody.

The Judge Was Abbey Blokand

The parents were incensed at the prosecutors, and Judge, for not
getting Arnold's video
collection. They felt the Judge protected them in the sentencing,
and the prison recommendation phase.

A Movie Is Made

US Jewry realized they had another Leopold and Loeb, of Leo Frank, on
their hands so they went into damage control.

Jarnecki made a movie that basically says the police railroaded the
Friedmans, and the children lied. It was up for an Oscar. WMV
