Okay, I spoke to the special investigator. She’s going to speak to legal counsel to see if I have any recourse here.

I told her that a DDA in her office is making public accusations on his private site using as his “proof” secret information. I argued that, if he is to be believed — and owing to the fact that I never sent serial harassing unhinged emails rants that would have precipitated a cease and desist letter being sent, nor have I ever received or refused one, and that he is an officer of the court — someone is using my identity in the commission of said harassment, and if the harassment were to continue, I’d be exposed to legal jeopardy.

I informed her about my past difficulties with Frisch, and Frisch’s subsequent arrest for email impersonation — potentially within the time frame Frey has hinted the cyber-harassment took place. I informed her about my good relationship with DDA “Fred” (as we both agreed to call him) from 2004-2008, and my subsequent bad relationship with him. I noted that this wasn’t the first time he has leveled charges at me on his private site, but that the first such charge — DEATH THREAT — was so ludicrous that he later largely walked it back.

I don’t expect anything will be done, but I do want to point out that I was willing to take it this far because, if we are to take Frey at his word, it is UNDENIABLE that 1) either someone has stolen my identity and is spoofing me; or 2) the victim made the story up; 3) Frey made the story up; or 4) Frey and the victim concocted the story together, or at least have colluded in the method of presenting it.

I have repeatedly asked for dates, names, the release of materials, and so on. I pointed this out and noted that no information has been forthcoming, even while a reasserting of the accusations have. I noted that the latest suggestion was that the letter was sent to an old address (explaining why I might not have received it) — with the fact that it was never returned used to suggest that I actually did receive it.

She asked for his name. I told her that while I didn’t want to give his name before I knew if I had recourse, I only knew one DDA by name in her office: Patrick Frey.

Just because you are on the internet doesn’t mean you get to accuse people of committing real world crimes with no lack of evidence. When you are a DDA, doing so is even more reprehensible, in my opinion, because it carries with it the implied weight of public and legal authority.

My name is a “real world” thing. Accusing me of crimes is a real world thing — even if it happens online — because it asserts that I have intentionally harmed people in a way that may be criminally actionable in the real world.

I’ll include this information in my cease and desist letter update later today.
