Child Molestation Expert Available for Interviews on Significance of Evidence in Michael Jackson Trial as Well as the Murder of Jessica Lunsford
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Michael Jackson trial is revealing classic signs of how child molesters find, seduce, and entrap their victims. The arrest of John Couey for Jessica Lunsford's murder has revealed a previous history of molestations; when caught before, he cried out for help because he knew he would do it again.
Mr. Seth Goldstein is the Executive Director of the Child Abuse Forensic Institute. He was a founding board member of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. He is a former police officer and district attorney's investigator who has written what has been described as the definitive textbook on how child molesters work: The Sexual Exploitation of Children: A Practical Guide to Assessment, Investigation, and Intervention, 2nd Edition, CRC Press, 1998. He has had articles published in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin; The World and I Magazine; and the Children's Advocate. He has trained investigators throughout the country including at the FBI Academy. Goldstein has also co-authored sexual abuse prevention publications for parents and children. He is now an attorney who represents molestation victims in civil actions.
Child molestation can be prevented because the manner in which child molesters operate follow distinct patterns. Goldstein has spent the last 28 years studying and writing about those patterns to help prevent molestations in the future. Goldstein is a California lawyer who has worked in district attorneys' offices and as a criminal defense attorney in molestation actions. He knows how the California criminal justice system works and how child molestation is prosecuted and defended in the California courts.
Goldstein has appeared on Court TV, the Montel Williams Show, San Francisco ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox affiliate station news and talk shows. He has been frequently quoted by the print media including Parents Magazine, The Ladies Home Journal, the San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, and others.
