I don't think that's quite correct, BeanE. :waitasec:
The original court document for the Restraining Order talks about hundreds of texts, sexts, and emails that are in evidence, and mentions that the landscaper connected to the Murder for Hire received similar sexually-explicit messages to those of Michael Cook.

Pages 10-11
"...hundreds of text messages as well as well as several photographs of Respondent in various stages of undress and graphic sexual activity...."
"...Respondent's (Terri's) stated personal relationship concerns and sexual overtures to Mr. Cook resemble those made to the man Respondent previously attempted to murder Petitioner (Kaine)."
Thanks again for this, Thought Fox:
Looking closely, Terri's sexual overtures to Cook are described as
"
hundreds of text messages as well as well as several photographs of Respondent in
various stages of undress and graphic sexual activity...."
and
"
sexual overtures to Mr. Cook
resemble those made to the man Respondent previously attempted to murder Petitioner (Kaine)."
So those two statements are our base points for imagining what sexual overtures Terri engaged in with her employee, the Landscaper. Because whatever she DID has to be "similar" to stuff like "graphic sexual activity." That's exactly how it was described.
That rules out little smiles, winks, or innocuous come-hither looks, or kisses blown into the garden from the kitchen window.
None of the latter can be said to be "similar" to "graphic sexual activity."
Whatever she did with the Landscaper has to reach the naughtiness threshold of the photographing of her own undressed body parts on a cell phone, engaging in "graphic sexual activity" (
presumable with herself) for another person's perusal, and 100s of accompanying related dialogue.
Now this is the "body of work" that Terri Horman produced 4 days after her husband ("okay, I love you") left and while her stepson was missing and endangered.
We need to imagine a
similar "body of work" that Terri Horman produced for the Landscaper she was asking to kill her husband a few months before.
And remember it must be"
similar."
It cannot be less shocking, less titillating, less offensive, less reprehensible, less aggressive...NO...it must be "
similar."
That is the word used and never to this day, denied or refuted.
