Your work throughout the entirety of this investigation certainly set an example for many others, both inside and outside of our agencies. Many forget that our (your) role is to serve others first, and that focus was certainty on display throughout. Your fidelity to victims, the tenadty and professionalism you displayed when dealing with some challenging issues and personalities, and your attention to detail which ultimately delivered justice for the victims, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Bureau and the NYPD. I followed the trial daily, sometimes checking multiple times a day with Mike Osborne, Geoff Berman and others. It is hard to overstate what you all accomplished here. Awesome Job. Hopefully a precedent has been set for other victims across the country. The world is a better place because of the work you each do. Thanks from an average citizen. Have a quiet and restful end to 2021 and have a happy New Year. Stay safe. Regards, Bill From: Osborn, Michael Sent: Thursday, December 30,2021 12:35 PM TO: Cf: Subject: Maxwell verdict =I and A most sincere congratulations to you both on the Maxwell verdict. I know It was a team effort' but we am know that without your tenacity. this verdict doesn't happen. I've been Involved with the CACHT Program for a long time and witil NY got involved in this case. I'd never seen such an egregious mecaniage of justice. You'll remember how I often talked about how. unlike other Programs. child exploitation and HT cases provided a unique opportunity to speak for the vulnerable victims who didn't have a voice. Year work and yesterdays verdict. was a complete endorsement of the victims and the pain they've endured. You worked patiently and confidently aid your work ensured the victims voices wdl be heard forever. EFTA00155975 I finny believe that victims across the country shed some tears and felt a sense of relief and affrmation last night knowing that Maxwell will now pay far her canes. You may not hear from the victims directly. but I hope you'll credit yourselves with the understanding that you've changed their lives for the better. Way back in the beginning when I talked to and to ensure this case was properly staffed and prioritized. there was no question that you both and your collective experience were the team that could handle the inevitable chall we would face. We did face some significant issues that needed to be escalated to the highest levels and were all lucky to have had the full support aid confidence of ADICs and and M. I assure you that. never doubted you. No statistical accomplishment will way capture the gravity of your work. I know very well the different ways in which you both have sacrificed throughout this invesbgation and the toll it takes. Yes. there is still work to be done but I hope you'll have an opportunity to catch your breath. I want to personally thank you for al you've done. You did it well mid you did it right.
