I, Detective Cooley, interviewed the follwfing person at

Headquartersl in the presence of his attorney, PHIL (work

phone

RAYMOND T. ADAMS
WHITE MALE DOB 02 1

 

I advised ADAMS of his Miranda Warnings and then I advised ADAMS that
several young female children had made sexual allegations against
him. I advised him the allegations were that he acposed the
childrens' breast and vaginas. I also advised ADAMS and HORWITZ that
when ADAMS had exposed the youth's vaginas, he would pull the child-s
leotards down at the grain area with his finger and rub the leotard
back and forth exposing the child's vagina.

while I was speaking to ADAMS, he did not deny any of the,
allegations. ADAMS made several head gestures in an agreeing manner
towards me, in that when I spoke to him, ADAMS nodded his head in a
positive manner as if he was agreeing with me for what I was saying.

 

ADAMS asked me. "What can 1 do to take care of this: I am willing to
do my part and take care of it." I told ADAMS that the first and
most important thing was that he must stop his actions and he should
never melest any more children. secondly, I wanted him to be honest
and tell me what he did tn the and why. I then advised
ADAMS that I would hope that he got counselling for his problems and
he would not keep employment where he was involved with children,
like a gymnastics instructor.

ADAMS stated that he would cooperate and he would quit his gymnastics
employment and he was already working part?time with Circuit City-
ADAMS stated that he had to finish some gymnastics classes that he
was instructing, due to the fact that he had already been paid
through December of 1997. I then told ADAMS that I would request a
written statement and that would be the first step towards him being
truthful about him touchingesereral young-female students in his
"ymnastics class- HORWITZ then advised me that he could not allow
ADAMS to provide a written statement unless the prosecutor was
involved with the interview and confession. stated that his
request was that ADAMS did not have a felony conviction in.reference
to these allegations. requested the prosecutor to be
involved with a plea agreement from.the beginning of the written
statement. stated that he and ADAMS could come back to
Headquarters for another appointment with the prosecutor and myself.
At this time, the interview was terminated. 

HORWITZ requestedhis client, wait in the lobby area and he -
requested to speak to-me by ourselves. Once ADAMS left the'internie?7
room, HORWITZ stated that there was no doubt in his mind that if he 
had not been present during the interview, ADAMS would have provided
a confession statement. HDRWITZ stated that his main concern was
that he requested.ADAMS to not-have a felony conviction because it
would ruin criminal history. I advised HORWITZ that I would -
contact the Madison County prosecuting office and discuss the case
with a prosecutor and that I would recontact HORWITZ and ADAMS.
