- January 10, 2011 – Raymond Knutsen Sends Email Containing Extensive Allegations

On January 10, 2011, Raymond Knutsen sent me a two-page email containing an extraordinary series of accusations, including claims of abuse, neglect, mental illness, alcoholism, inappropriate sexual behavior, and numerous other forms of misconduct. The allegations were presented “as fact” without supporting evidence.

I did not respond because there was nothing to respond to. No police investigation, criminal charges, or court findings resulted from this email. Today, it remains one of the earliest written examples of the allegations that would later become part of the public record.
