Aaoording to reports provided by tile Mams County Proeecutot1 s OJTflQe, thes
Othello Police Department receivofl « Chilfl 5rot«ctive Services Report on 04-22As a rGSUlt, the othollo Police Department
86 with regard# to this case.
aonducfceej an inves-tigation o£ the allegations, and later filed their finflings,
with the AISBIUB County FrosBCMting Attorney's OtEioe.
The inveetigation of the othallo Poliae Deportment revealed numerous complainte
involving Courtney's "touching' behavior' , among the young boys, espscially in
1
tfia school locker room, victims were all youtuffer than 14.
in tvo oases, the Proseoutor'6 Offiica deterniinateii that inappropriate touching
behavior smotuvtea to felonies. on 01-23-87, an information was filed charging
Courtney with 2 Counts o£ Mcieeenfc Liberties. Both counts involvea Courtney
inappropriate ways. i.e.
vubbincj himself up against young boys in clcsrly
pinning victims against a wall, or on the floor and rubbing crotch areas
togQth«r, making gtatowonts each as, "Bo you £BB1 it?", "le it there yet?", It
•was also •5>il«gec! by one oX the victims that Coutnoy, while riding tot/ether with
the victim in a oair naid, "I'm going to get you", and then reached over with
his hand and rubbed the victim's crotch area.
Subsoguently, as a result of plea negotiations, Courtney pled guilty to 1 Count
A presentence
of inflecent Liberties in Adams County Superior Court,
investigation was oraerea.
PKTOBDMTO'S VEESJCB OP TITO OFFKHSBc
Courtney denies that he actually ooirflnitted the offansoB to which he pled guilty.
He indicates that in this Epecifiio instsnoo to t?hieh he plefl guilty he had been
involved in wrestling with the individual in what he would aonsider "normal
horseplay" foir a aoaqh s.n<J f.ftaehsr. He states that hn hari been involved, in
disciplining the inflivi^ual earlier in the year and feels that this charge was
an attempt on the part of the victim to "get even" with him for the amninistered
discipline.
PERSOHM. BtlSwm*:
criminal glBtorva
According to roaordg which were provided, and by my own akacks with the
Washington State Idantifioation Section, it appears that this is the only felony
arrest in the State of Washington. AH F-B-I- Rap sheofc was requestea from the
Federal BUKeaw of Investigation, however, it has not yet arrived. In the event
it <3oea arrive before sentencing ana soma information is uncovered, that, of

Thraa rather extensive evalflatlone liav« been campl«tad on this aefendant, all of
which are inoluded in the filo.
The first report was oomple-tssd In April 1988 and diagnosed Cour-Unay »s aufferincf
from an adjustuniBTi't disolder and fleproseed moofl. This report, aumlttefl by Dr.
Bruce Tarienbaum was flons at the dafenaant'a requssst in tr«atinen.t for, whet lie
a©Bcribea as, poor slew, early momi™? wakenings, poor appetite ana aspreseea
arvd aiutious feelings.
Subsequently, at thw request of the adams coupty Prosiectiting attorney's of floe,
Coartxiey wae ovaluated by Davifl Ii. Re^ward, who ia psychologist praotiaiag in
Reno, Nevada as a eax therapist.
Mr. P-ekward does not give a diagnosis,
however, he does present the impr«»siona, which indicate that the defendant do«t
hAfe a ftignifioant level of con£uaion atoout hie aexuality ana that HO is unable
to discern what is Kiefht and wrojig with regard to sexual activity.
Irtorestingly, Rekward indicates that this dofcnd&rt. "has the aapability of
arranging in his mind a cognitive belief
system which wcuia allow him -to
distort vhst is appropriate In a specific situation, and that situa'tion being'
sejtua lity."
Rekward also states that he believes this defendant accepts aaaountability Eos
his behavior, which is "the desired outcotn® for a sex offender in a treatniont
program."
lastly, Courtney was evaluated in late December 1988 and early January 1989 by a
Dr. John J?- Robinson, licensed psychologist with Traywick, Graon and Asso.ciates
in Taeo»a.
The dAagnostic impressions of this evaluation ore pedophilia and
mixed personality disorder. Altlxough thore is some aiff<!»x«nae of opinion os to
the diagnosis, all of these evalwtoxs agree on one thing.
Courtney io
ameniable to treatment and should b« Involved in out-patient -nreatment with
certain conditions. Since the moat recent report was done in waahiisgCon by a
psychologist who io familiar with the Washington sentencing Re£orm a.ct and the
conditions under which the Sax Offender waiver is imposed, I beliova that the
Go-urt vjould b« mor6 inclined to follow Che reaonunendations given therein.
Onu final note., would like to draw the court1 s' at.tantion to is the last two
paracrraphs of page 7 in pr. Robinson's report. Herein he states in efJaet that
this individual, in essence, has not developed any relationships which go visry
far beyond superficiality. I disouBsea this with the defendant and elso several
letters which wore reoeivsd on his behalf as j:afereneo®. These letters and the
Questionnaire which his mother returned, all show one partioular thing, which
dovetails well
into that,report of Dr. Robinaono. In each case the letters
politely and in a vary business-.like manner indicate thay were acquainted with
Courtney and they had known him for e long time, and that thay were r.ending the
letter as a refereno© for Courtney. In not a single aaae did any of these

aforementioned paragraphs ore that this individual Has grown up With no close

surprisingly, whan i spent several hours interviewing Courtney/ I found MM to
be A pexaonable, caring, individual, who has spent most oC his life in the
service of othars, while never jreally attending to hie awn personal needs with
regatta to close relationshipE with family and friends. I expect he will have a
difficult time, at least initially, in treatment,, however, 3; Celleve,
considering this man's lifetime history of service to others and his education
and intelligence, to be an individual who is certainly worth attempting to
salvage. I believe Mr. Courtney oan contribute significantly to society and I
believe from talking to him that that is his goal. He dnos recognize to some
degree that he has aome aerioue problems and he verbalizes the desire to resolve
those differences and get on with his life.
MaSS-aal History;
According to tha defendant, he spent about si* weeks in the hospital at the age
of 13 being treated for osteomyelitis. He also has back problems A» that h«
suffers from a stiff back and has for some time. The defendant indioatee that
he was being seen by Dr. TenenbauB) in Reno for depression and was receiving
medication at that time.
I wight add that fch* pcychologioal evaluation provided by Traywiak, Croon and
ABsociatos indicates a. possible need for some anti-aepressant therapy and/or
medication at some point in this partiaular aase baoausa of expaoted dopeeGsion,
which may occur as a result of problems dealing witn treatment.
Keccnnjcenctation:

• The standard range sentence in this ease, according to the information provided,
is 12-14 months in the state institution.
Shis case is eligibl« for ooncidoration under the Sexual Dffandojr Waiver, and,
in my opinion, it is a case which the Court should eonsifler for sentencing under
the waivor. I balieve that that program outlined in detail in tho psychological
evaluulation provided hy Tir^ywic)!., Green and ftasociates pxovidoc » jrewsonatole
plan fior treatment.
First of all, the evaluation recommends extended court
monitoring. In this case, the court has maximum juriBdiction of 24 months, and
T believe that superviaeion should extend for 24 monthjc.

BEHAVIOR:
Mr. Courtney was prompt and cooperative. His dress and manner were appropriate and he was
somewhat anxious as evidenced by his nervous patter, and by frequent requests for guidance,
structure or reassurance. He was oriented to time, place and person and there was no sign of
thought disorder. His speech was somewhat rapid and circumstantial at times failiag to get to the
point of the question.
Mr. Courtney had very high anxiety whan asked to draw a picture of a person. Both his behavior
and the resultant drawings were clearly disturbed.
Throughout the assessment the client raaintained a wall of denial that he had any problem or that
any of the allegations had any substance. However, toward the end of the assessment when I
confronted Mr. Counney on the discrepancy between his statements and those of several victims
and described to Mr. Courtney what I thought his problem was, h® tearfully indicated (without
admitting to any specific acts) that I was accurate and asked if I would also provide treatment. I
explained that it was my policy not to provide treatment myself following psychological evaluation
in order to avoid conflict of interest
BACKGROUND INFORMATION;
Mr. Courtney was the only chUd born to two alcoholic parents. In his early years, both parents
were frequently at taverns, and preferred beer. His mother was a very heavy smoker and Mc.
Courtney had early health problems with pneumonia and asthma. PL's father was a bus driver and
was described as wanner and more easy going that his mother, who was more the disriplinarisn
and task master, The client describes his mother as impossible to please and reports receiving little
or no praise or warmth from her "although we're great friends now". Mr. Courtney got some
praise and warmth from his maternal aunt and maternal grandfather.
The client says there was a lot of tension aud arguing, but little or no violence. His father had
affairs and failed to pay bills. They moved around frequently within the Seattle area. The client
went through at least five changes of schools in his first eight years.
Mr. Courtney's father died when the client was 10 years old. The client clearly has unresolved
grief about this and could not hold back tears. Hfs mother went to work as a waitress and remar­
ried when Mr. Courtney was age 14 to a man who the client did not like. His stepfather was a
heavy drinker but not abusive. They were divorced when Mr. Courtney was age 17 and his
mother quit drinking at about this same time.
Mr. Courtney reports no depression following his father's death, but did experience a depression
with a drop in grades shortly after his mother remarried.

 &
In tccn years Mr, Courtney was "not heavy into datina. I was not sure who I was or which way 1
wanted to go". He acknowledges he was "maybe avoiding some things I saw in my own family".
His high school soda) life centered around sports, and he attended an all male Catholic high
school. He was koown as "blow top" because of his intense competitiveness and his tendency to
blow up if he lost
*
After high school graduation in May, 1953, Mr. Courtney left for New York in June to become a
Christian Brother (the non-ordained Christian lay order that ran the high school he attended). He
lived for many years in an all male dormitory-like setting from age 17 until age 47 when he left the
order. Much of the early yeare were in an isolated upstate New York setting with much silence,
strict rules, and relationships that were disrupted when friends lefi without notice and he never
knew why.
He acquired a B.A. in history, and an M.S. in educational guidance from Fordham Univctsity (the
Christian Brothers College) and later an M.A. in Educational Administration from Seattle Univer­
sity. His work was primarily in an educational setting with young people. However, when I
pressed for details regarding Mr. Courtney's work in the Christian Brothers in order to ascertain
whether there were prior allegations I came away with very scant and vague information. Mr.
Courtney says he signed out of the order on his own volition in 1982, after twenty five years.
Mr. Courtney made an abonive anempt to change professions after leaving the order and again
after resigning his teaching job in Othello following allegations of sexual misconduct, but heended
up back in teaching because it is all he really knows and, I think, because of the connection
between teaching youngsters and Mr. Oourtney s sexual acting out.
Currently he has accepted a mandate from the Court to keep out of teaching positions. He is living
with, his elderly mother and aunt in Seattle and working aa a driver for a Rent-a-Car company for
35 houis per week and earns $4 per hour.
SEXUAL HISTORY:
Mr. Courtney all but denies having, or every having had, any sexual life at all.
He remembere mutual exposure games with a same-age girl at age 5. He reports being plagued
with an extremely harsh, rigid morality surrounding sex which he is vaguely aware has something
to do with training by his mother, later reinforced by Catholic ideology. He remembers being
taught that kissing was a monal sin and recalls being hustled out of die room when his uncle
exposed himself at a party.
Mr, Courtney denies ever having masturbated. He states he would awaken during wet dreams in
early teen years and so is aware of what an ejaculation is. He denies ever having intercourse. He
reports no homosexual experience of any Idnd, is not aware of any pedophilic or homosexual
behavior by any teachers or fellow students at any time during his high school or seminary ycais,
or subsequently. He denies ever having fantasized much and states "my body was more mind
controllca. Morality kept me from even fantasizing, so if I started, guilt feelings would stop me".
Mr. Courtney says he "came close" to having intercourse while living in Reno, Nevada recently,
when a waitress who was a sex abuse victim and a severe alcoholic asked him to have sex with
her. He states "I want ihe relationship to be more special than that".

ALCOHOL AND DRUGHISTORY:
Mr. Courtney denies current or historical over us© of alcohol or drugs. Currently he acknowledges
very occasional and limited intake of wine.
CLIENTS VERSION OF THE OFFENSE:
Mr. Courtney denied an^ubstance to the allegations against him, He Umited his response to the
specific allegations of
and did not account for the specific allegations made \>y a number of
victims.

•H

He claims he was wmstUng withHHB in a way that was "normal horseplay" for a coach and
teacher. He claims •BHTtook it the wrong way because of a hostile attitude and desire to get
revenge for previous discipline by Mr. Courtney.
The client acknowledges a few occasions where he has become aware of an erection while simi­
larly wrestling with yovmg male students or athletes and says this greatly troubled him because of
its immorality. He denies ever having acted on this arousal, ever deliberately touching in a sexual
way or ever inviting a child to be sexual with him.
OFFICIAL VERSION OF THE OFFENSE:
From the verbatim statements to police by five boys, ages 12 to 14 years, all witnesses to and victims of Mr. Courtney's sexual acting out, it is possible to get a reasonably clear picture of the
client's pattern.

H

In the case
Mr. Courtney used his position as baseball coach to get
alone for a
"make up" practice on a weekend day. He began to question  Habout his weight and his lost
tooth. Mr. Lourtney escalated to grappling with the 13 year old, rubbing his penis against the boy
and attempting to pin him to a dressing room bench.
StatetBents from other victims show a pattern of Mr. Courtney using his position a? trusted coach
or teacher to gain access to boys in the 12 to 14 year age range, tussling with them while rubbing
his genital area against them. He would often cause pain by squeezing a boy's shoulder muscle or
jamming his knuckles into the back while preventing escape with the other arm. The victim's
attempts to get away are apparently arousing to Mr. Courtney and he then presses his penis against
his victim's genitals or buttocks. He made comments at these times like "do you feel it? Is it there
yet?".
Mr. Courtney has gone farther than this on other occasions. Several boys reported being invited to
come alone to Mr. Courtney's home "to play Atari". One hoy who went there described being
given cookies and being molested in a similar manner as described above. Another describes how
Mr. Courtney grabbed the boy's neck and forced tu's head down by Mr. Courtney's crotch. Sev.
eral boys alluded to a classmate having gone on a trip to Canada with Mr. Courtney and having
reported later that the client swam nude with him. Statements from two boys who may have suf­
fered more extreme molestation were not available because one had moved away and one was
being protected from further trauma by his parents.

LEVEL OF INSIGI-rr AM) EMPATHY:
Mr. Courtney has very limited insight into lite own behavior, motivation, compulsions, or the
connection between any of these things and his childhood. He seemed 10 have no awareness that
his behavior has cost him not only his job, but his career.
When asleed atom the effect of his behavior on his victims he was unable to answer until pressed
as to why it would be against the law. He said "because it would be homosexual, and that's
wrong". When pressed to describe any harm to the victim he said it was "a violation of a trust".
Mr. Courtney was worried that his mutual exposure play at age 5 might be seen as abnormal, but
seemed surprised that his description of absence of any sex life was abnormal.

"V

When asked how long lie had been snuggling with his sexual problem he said "quite a few yeais".
I think he is consciously aware of his sexual molesting behavior and his own obsession about it. 1
think he is consciously concerned and mortified by the thought that he may have homosexual
desires but it does not seem to have occurred to him to think of himself as a pedophile or as vic­
timizing children. That is, what is "wrong" in his mind is the immorality of homosexual desire,
not the pedophilic victimisation.
Additionally, Mr, Courtney's powers of denial, rationalization and minimisation are highly devel­
oped starting with very early training in his alcoholic family and continuing through his attempt to
suppress and deny his sexuality in puberty and up to the present time. Because of these defense
mechanisms it is difficult to ascertain how much of all this Mr- Courtney is consciously aware of
but is choosing to deny because of shame and fear of imprisonment, and how much has actually
been repressed, denied and rationalized out of conscious awareness.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST RESULTS:
Mr. Courmey is above average in I.Q., as indicated by the Shipley Institute of Living Scale
(estimated LQ, about 126 plus or minus 10 %).
His reproductions of the Bender Gestalt fi/zutes are above average in accuracy, showing good
LQ., aud some pride in skillful execution. His numerous requests for guidance ("Can I use more
than one sheet? Can I put this figure over here?" etc) are unusual in a 53 year old and show a
timid, submissive approach to authority and a fear of making mistakes. Numerous erasures and
reworkings further amplify the impression of an anxious perfectionist, fearful of showing any
error or leaving any room for criticism.
Mr. Courtney's MMPI profile is that of a person who is endorsing a lot of symptoms of distress,
who is self-critical and lacking in self esteem, a social introvert who docs, not trust others (and
therefore will have few or no close relationships) and who is situationally depressed with a likeli­
hood of routing depression and psychological discomfort into the form of physical health cotnplHints. It is likely that childhood attacks on Mr. Courtney's skills, value as a persoD, and resultant
humiliation and domination have contributed to his mistmat and bis expectation of being similarly
humiliated or dominated in the future. There is, in addition, a fair amount of anger, alienation,
and a tendency to act this out, though probably in indirect ways, displaced onto other symbolic
targets and probably disguised from Mr. Courinoy's awareness.
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory results reflect primarily Mr. Courtney's underlying
(hidden) feelings of inadequacy, lack of worth, shame, vulnerability and difficulty making it in the
world.

When asked to "Draw me a picture of a person. Draw the best person you can." Mr. Courtney
clearly had an anxiety reaction as strong as any I have seen In an adult client. He delayed the task
for probably five minutes with protests of bis inability. He said bis ability to draw people had
stopped, developing at about age ten (the time of his father's death.). Whea asked to tnakc a secona drawing of a femate, Mr. Courtney used his first drawing as a template and almost traced the
second drawing. Each figure took over fifteen minutes to complete with numerous erasures,
roany commenis such as "No, that's not right... no legs to support it." etc.
The resultant drawings arc crude, somewhat bizarre empty forms, in profile, with shriveled arras
and hands, peg-like legs with no feet, and empty IOISO and head with no face, no ears, no hair, no
features or life whatsoever.
These drawings indicate a profound disturbance in Mr. Courtney's interpersonal world. There is
an infantile, undeveloped factor, a paranoid avoidance of relationship, tremendous personal inade­
quacy and feelings of tocffcctuality, B deep emptiness and depression, and a lack of age appropriate
sexual dovelopment and differentiation.
The drawings, in my opinion, are an eloquent statement from Mr. Courtney's unconscious of the
essential underlyinc psychological problem. His anxiety about producmg tjae drawings, I think,
stems largely from nis intuitive awareaass of the power of these arawiugs to express a truth about
himself that his command of words is able to conceal.

DSM-m K defines "Frotteurism" (302.S9) as a sexual disorder in which there are intense urges
and fantasies-at times acted upon--to rub up against other nonconsenting person. However, this
is typically committed in a crowd, against unknown others (usually involving victims of a prefenred age and sex), and followed by a quick getaway.
Mr. Courtney's sexual disorder has many features similar to frottage. However, his acting out
involves exploitation of a personal relationship of trust, and a power differential between adult and
child, teacher and student. There is evidence that he plans for access to victims, that he grooms
potential victims, and offers special treatment, and that his ftottage ("dentable" rubbing up against)
is intended to progress beyond quick and futive contact For this reason I have made the diagnosis
of pedophilia rather than froneurism.
Mir, Courtney's behavior is more traumatizing and causes greater interpersonal damage to his vic­
tims than would frottage by a stranger in a crowd. In my opinion the essential dynamics in Mr.
Courtney's case are those of the adult homosexual pedophile. The reasons for the resemblance to

ECC000027

 frottage arc, I think, Mr. Courtney's extreme shame and perhaps the fact that the full extent of Mr.
Couxtney' pcdopbilic behavior has not beea revealed by me current limited investigation.
Il is extremely likely that these are not Mr. Courtney's first pedopbtfic acts. He has been a teacher
much of his life. Further investigBtion into Mr. Courtnejj's past (prior teaching positions, reasons
for leaving the order, etc) is warranted if an accurate estimate of the level of oanger is important
There may have been other allegations and documentation of pedophilia behavior during prior
teaching positions. Apparently, no one has looked into this.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS;
--

Mr. Courtney is socially, emotionally and sexually a very stunted, underdeveloped person, appar­
ently due to emotional abuse as a child. Apparently it has not occurred to Mr. Courtney to label his
childhood as abusive or to consider the effects of this abuse on bis development. On the one
hand, he has the LQ. to see into the matter more deeply; on the other hand, he had a lifetime of
training and practice in denial and in avoidance of his own humanity.
The effects of the abuse on Mr. Courtney include a severe stunting of his ability to relate. He has
no truly intimate friends, has apparently never had an adult homosexual ox heterosexual relation­
ship Of any intimacy. His ability to feel, to be aware of his feelings, to describe his feeling are all
underdeveloped, infantile. He carries deep feelings of shame and unworthiness (which he xnisperccivcs as "guilt") and usually feels ineffectual, inadequate, and lost. Naturally this isolated state
produces a constant low grade depression which periodically exacerbates into more intense
depressions. Mr. Courtney's conscience, his ethical reasoning, his ability to empathize are all
severely underdeveloped alsoProbably Mr. Courtney's sexual orientation took a turn toward homosexuality at a very early age
but was blocked from overt expression or conscious examination by rigid and punitive ideological
programming under the guise of moral training. He sustained a traumatic loss at age ten which
may have fixated certain aspects of his development at that age- Again ar age 13, whether it was
the onset of puberty or his mother's remarrying, or both, there was a trauma with depression, and
developmental arrest.
The details of how this developmental arrest evolved into pedophilie acting out will not come
forth until Mr. Courtney has gained Insight, reduced his shame, and can talk more candidly about
the development of his pedophilie fantasies and obsessions.

Y;!

It is clear, though, that a definite addictive, compulsive pedophilie pattern has developed. The tar­
get children are apparently limited to males between puberty onset and age 14 or 15. Mr. Courtney
may deny it, may even suppress his awareness of it, but he clearly plans, sets up circumstances,
selects and grooms targets etc.
Even after discovery, legal action, and loss of livelihood due to this behavior, Mr. Courtney
moved to Keno and soon was back into teaching. At this point, despite having his life devastated
by the legal consequences of his Own behavior, Mr. Courtney is not able to consciously
acknowledge the problem. He is consenting to txeatment (on the surface anyway) only to avoid
incarceration, (nonvcxbally Mr. Courtney shows signs of deep shame and distress about his
pedophilia and, I think, would dearly love to be rid of the problem, the thoughts, the obsession, if
Only getting rid of the problem did not mean first having to admit to it).
UndemGath the pedophilia is a terrifying empty void where there should be rich human relatedness. This depressing abandoned, unrelated void is the fulcrum around which all of this revolves.
The pedophilia is a substitute, a grab-tmd-rtw, pale fill in for the true warmth and intimacy thai is
PAGE 7 OF 9

ECC000028

•>'•[: J

 and always has been missing in Mr. Courtney's Ufc. The terrifying prospect of facing this
emptiness is what really motivates Mr. Courtney's many avoidant defenses of denial, etc. Without
treatment, the likelihood of reoffense is very high. This is a strong, irrational obsession which
Mr. Courtney cannot conlrol.
Successful treatment, in my opinion, requires the following:
1) Extend court monitoring for as long a period as the law will allow to provide extended, legal
leverage to ensure that Mr. Courtney engages in meaningful change. He is not sociopatln'q and
can benefit from treatment, but will almost certainly avoid it, out of fear and shame, unless actively
monitored. Expect testing of limits and be willing to invoke consequences.
i

-

j

2) Make the ireatenant requirements detailed, specific, and with time limits, Mr. Courtney is
skillod in passively aggressively dragging the thing out until everyone's attention span is
exhausted. Rather than my specifying those details here, the particular agency who will provide
treatment needs to do so,
3) Include a provision that he not leave the state, because moving a lot, especially across state lines
is a strategy (conscious or unconscious) for diluting legal monitoring and meaningful treatment-

s;

4) At age 53, Mr. Courtney should be permanently barred from teaching, coaching, or officiating
(referee or umpire) in the vicinity of minors. The athletic locker room plays a major role in his
offending. He should not be in athletic iocker rooms or showers where minors are allowed. He
should have no minors on his premises. He should be prevented, if possible, from later moving to
a new location and securing employment in teaching, coaching, officiating, guidance, or any
occupation which involves regular contact with minors. The prohibitions should extend, of
course, to volunteer positions or to simple loitering near where young people hang out
5) Ureatroent may be enhanced, later, by penile plethysmograpb examination to determine more
accurately what does and does not provoke physiological arousal in Mr. Courtney, and to provide
him with difficult-to-deny feedback about his own responses.

6) Heatment should be centered in a program known to specialize in work with sex offenders, a

program with a good reputation with legal and other authorities in (he field for honest therapeutic
work and careful follow through.

•i

M

7) TVeatment should include at least two elements: a) group treatment to help break down denial,
to educate, to resocialize and build trust, and to build basic self-confidence and, b) extensive indi­
vidual psychotberapy to explore personal issues of abuse, alienation, lack of relatcdness, and fear
of adult intimacy. Sexual orientation and preference issues may become prominent lata: in treat­
ment First in Catholic high school, and later in the Christian Brothers, Mr. Courtney has used
extreme Catholic "morality" and a posture of asexuality to avoid dealing with issues. 1 recommend
challenging both of these postures for the avoidant defenses that they are.
8) Monitor depression level (sleep, vegetative symptoms) and be prepared to initiate antidepressant
medication if required to maintain therapeutic progress. Depression and suicidal feelings are likely
to be part of the middle phase of treatment if Mr. Courtney opens up to these issues, surrenders
some of his denial, and experiences more consciously the interpersonal emptiness of his life.
There may besome suicide risk during this phase, Relapsing into sexual offending might be a way
to try to ward off a developing depression.

:

„.;S

'-•4

9) Exposure to a 12-step, ACOA model of treatment might help Mr. Courtney to integrate the
therapeutic work with his genuine spiritual beliefs, and might help him to take over bis own recov-

w

ery and continue it past the point of professional involvement. However, he does need a relation­
ship with a skilled professional in the beginning.
10) I don't think prison time will serve as a deterrent or be of any real use in this case, and I think
imprisonment could be harmful to Mr. Courtney's mental health. However, failure to promptly
comply with treatment recommendations should provoke a brief jail stay.
If these recommendations are followed, I think Mr. Courtney really can substantially benefit from
outpatient treatment, not just in reducing the likelihood of ftiture pedophtlic behavior, but in
recfaiming disowned aspects of hknsolf, rediscovering his humanity and reconnecting with people.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Thit above named offender has viokted conditions of supsrvislon by:
1. Traveling to Canada twice and Portlaoid, Oregon twice during the summer of 1990, without
the knowledge or permission of Community Corrections Officer.
SUPPORTJCNG EVIDENCE AND ADJUSTMENT:
Supporting Evidence:
1,

The Judgment and Sentence signed on Janvaiy 30, 1989, indicates under item 4.3(>)i
Comrnunity Supervision: Defendant shall serve 24 months of community supervision.
Cominunity supervision shall commence 2-7-89- Defendant shall report to the Department
of Corrections at Seattte, Washington, within 72 hours of the cojnmenccmcant of community
supervision and shall comply with all rules, regulations, and requirements of Dopartmcnt of
Corrections and any other conditions of eornnwnity supervision stated in this Judgment and
Sentence. On January 30, 1989, Courtney signed Standard Conditions and Sentence
Requirements with the Department of Corrections. That document instructed him to abide
by the following conditions, "Obtain written permission from the Community Corrections
OQicer before traveling Outside the county in which you reside, unless you have been advised
in writing by your Community Cotiections Officer that it is not nocessaiy to do so." and
"Secure written pemussion from the Coimimnity Corrections Officer before leaving the state
of Washington."
Courtney took a polygraph test on September 13, 1990, to ascertain his compliance with
sexual dovjancy counseling and all other conditions of supervision with the Department of
Corrections. That polygraph test was conducted at the Burjcn Field Office of the
Department of Corrections by licensed Wasliington State Polygraphist "Bud" Kiliian. Mr.
Killian ascertained during the polygraph pre-test. interview that Courtney had gone to British
Columbia, Canada, on approxittiately two different occasions and also to Portland, Oregon,
on about two different ocaaslons for hockey games this suimncr, without the permission of
the Community Corrections Officer.

>

On September 13, 1990, I discussed these violations \nth Courtney. He told me that he had
gone to Vancouver, Cans,da, approximarely a year ago, in November of 198P. He said he
went to British Columbia about two dfffcircnt times. He said one time he -went to visit an
ddcrjy priest who has subsequently died, and another time he went to a hockey game. He
told me that his visits to Portland, Oregon were also in 1989 for hockey games. He said that
at that tinae, he did not realize that he was not to leave the State or the covmuy tvithout the
permission of the Community Corrections Officer.

COURT/NOTICE OF VIOLATION
September 18, 1990

Adjustment:
Courwey lias Doafniained goad coiopliance with sexual dcviancy treatment through Con-ectional
Specialties in Bellevue, Washington. His therapistj Sherry L. Biodish, MA., indicates that he will
be successfully terminated from the program in October of 1990. On August 10, 1990, I was
contacted by Dr. Von Cleve, the administrator and clinical director of this treatmant program.
He stated that Courtney was doing very well in therapy, but it was his intention to continue him
there at the agency under an individoal counseling session plan, which will be scheduled on a
monthly basis. Courtney has another polygrapit test in the file, dated September 23, 1989, and
apparently there was an initial polygraph test taken on July 7, 1989, through Correctional
Specialties which was not provided for the file. That previous polygraph and the status report
submitted for the initial polygraph test both indicate that Courtney has maintained compliance
with the sexual deviancy therapy. I have received status reports from ConectionaJ Specialties on
a consistent basis indicating his compliance with therapy. This latest polygraph test, taken on
September 13, 1990, indicate no forms of deviancy from the requirements as specified through
the sexual deviancy counseling agency. Mr. Kiffian indicated to me that Courtney has no currant
forms of sexual deviancy that he is participating in, nor has he had any forms of this type of
deviancy since his sentencing for the instant offense.
It is my opinion that the above stated violation does not constitute a significant violation of his
community supervision status, nor does it provide a -violation of his sweual deviancy treatment.

RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the Court take no action.

Comments:
Mr. Courtney will continue treatment with Dr. Von Clevis
through the end of the supervision period. He is participating in
weekly counseling sessions. The last raport received from Dr. Von Cleve

indicated no s&xually deviant behavior during this period of
supervision. To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Courtney has experienced
