Crime on Cape Cod?
Consider this slideshow with the correspondence posted below. On the previous post is correspondence to Martha Coakley, Attorney General of the State of Massachusetts. Martha Coakley is yet to respond adequately to the convolution of human services with law enforcement on Cape Cod. Coakley is now campaigning for the Senate seat vacated by Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Coakley has appeared at several symposiums for children's rights and evolving legislation at the Sheraton Hotel in Hyannis, but is yet to fully address corruption that jeopardized the health, welfare and safety of vulnerable and innocent children.
This letter has been forwarded to the father of the victim in the rape and homicide of Christa Worthington of Truro. A number of convicted felons including Christopher McCowen are known to Housing Assistance Corporation, the Duffy Clinic, and Cape Cod Psychiatric Services. The perpetrators in the murders of Melissa Gosule of Brockton/Boston and Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth were also traced to the local homeless shelter and human services. There has been no resolution and no justice, to date for the mismanagement of public funds that compromised the Cape Cod area.

Dear Mr. Worthington,
Please consider the correspondence forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley. You may recall a conversation where I detailed a number of items regarding the perpetrator convicted in the rape and homicide of your daughter and his association with human services in Barnstable. As you are aware, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Senator Rob O’Leary accepted campaign contributions from Rick Presbrey of Housing Assistance Corporation and other clinicians providing services to this offender.
The local homeless shelter operated by Presbrey’s organization, NOAH, the associated O’Neill Center and the Duffy Clinic provided services to clients with narcotics addictions, violent behavior and substantial criminal records. A number of campaign contributions were forwarded to public officials and favors for this negligent and substandard agency continue. Judge H. Gregory Williams ordered me evicted from a narcotics infested building plagued with violence. Not only were there deaths on the premises, I was threatened by a client of the Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill and Duffy Clinic. Criminal records, accounts of the violence, and photographs of conditions in the materials forwarded to Martha Coakley. These items and all correspondence can now be reviewed on www.welcometobarnstable.com.
You mentioned when I spoke to you that you were in contact with Attorney Coakley and that you were going to speak to her regarding the negligent standards at the local shelter. You told me to consider myself a “material witness, and that all items and materials should be considered relevant”. When I expressed concern for my safety, you stated “We know how to treat a material witness”. Your words verbatim to me were “Young lady, if these people had anything to do with my daughters death, I want them in jail!”
Have you given up on justice for Christa?
Truly,
Mary Clements

Lawsuit says exclusion zones unconstitutional
A Barnstable ordinance restricting where registered sex offenders can live is being challenged in Barnstable Superior Court as being in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights. The ordinance in question is the Barnstable Active Safety Information for Child Awareness, known as BASIC. Among its provisions is a 2,000-foot exclusion zone from places where services to children are provided for sex offenders registered categorized by the state at levels 2 or 3 “by reason of a sexual offense against a child.”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLU) is representing the plaintiff, and filed the 39-page complaint in Barnstable Superior Court in late August. It is the first challenge of residential restriction ordinances in Massachusetts.

Officials explain rights of residents, offenders.
The presence of a Level 3 sex offender in West Barnstable added some new concerns to the start of the school year for area parents. The issue came to light as students headed back to school and parents became aware that bus stops are located in the area, including across the street from where the offender is staying. Residents closer to the home at 475 Willow Street have been aware all summer, one of whom said “I feel like we’ve been imprisoned in ourselves,” one parent said, explaining the restrictions she and her family placed on themselves to assure their safety.
That comment came at a Sept. 14. meeting at the West Barnstable Fire Station arranged by area parents and local officials. Addressing parents were Barnstable Police Chief Paul MacDonald , Precinct 11 Town Councilor Hank Farnham and other representatives from the Barnstable Police Department.
ANYTIME NOW, MARTHA!
