CA - Dr. William Ayres for child molestation, San Mateo, 2007 #1

[believe09]

I think the police officer just didn't know what the aitch he was talking about.

Huh. Really. Should we send him a link to WS??

 

[Mercyneal]

Don't think he'd appreciate the link, somehow.

What struck me about the list of child psychiatrist predators I listed from Psychcrime Reporter was how swiftly they were prosecuted. Something's not right in San Mateo with Ayres. Either they're just not very gung-ho or they're not competent.

Here's another weird shrink: Stuart Greenberg, a Seattle psychologist who was a consultant for the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle when it was defending itself in sex abuse cases, committed suicide after his license was suspended for secretly videotaping a woman in his office bathroom.

Wonder if Ayres is a member of this forum:

Ok, so Greenburg and Dr. Aubrey Levin were paid to testify by the courts. Ayres was the designated sex abuse evaluator for the courts. Why hasn't anyone in San Mateo challenged the cases he worked on? I would say that his evaluations of juveniles in court cases are also tainted. I know he molested juveniles. How do we know he didn't give favorable evaluations to boys who permitted him to molest them, and unfavorable ones to those who fought him off ? Isn't anyone in the community of San Mateo, California interested in getting to the bottom of this?

At least in Canada, the government is reviewing every case Aubrey Levin worked on as a witness. They believe his testimony has tainted the cases.

A survivor over at Male Survivor said that Seattle psychologist Dr. Les Rawlings, who has written about childhood sexuality, should be investigated as well. Sounds as if has had personal experience with Rawlings.

Getting into the general subject of arrest and prosecution:

I just snipped this from the Ayres blogspot:
"and was the result of a police investigation, in which they retrieved recent (in-statue) patient records and contacted former patients to ask what had taken place."

http://williamayreswatch.blogspot.com/

If San Mateo PD could find in-statute patient records and proactively contact patients to see what their experiences were, Why cant they do the same in Boston with Childrens Hospital/Judge Baker Guidance Center?? Every case he touched here is within statute possibly, since he fled the state in 1963...this is the quirky thing about MA law-the clock stops when the perp leaves the state.

There is no reason at all that they have to wait for victims to come forward, right?? I mean he went from Boston to San Mateo County.....

am I dreaming this up??

 

[Mercyneal]

No, they can't access the records in Boston until an actual victim comes forward. In California, they had the affidavits of ten or so out-of-statute victims who had come forward. That's how they were able to get the search warrant.

The Boston police need a victim to come forward before they can act.

So when Ayres left MA, he did no consulting, follow up, finishing documenting a patient, returning to speak at a conference or fill in for extra help?

I know I am reaching-I am just trying to find a way to tie the two states together....

 

[Mercyneal]

No. He just up and left MA and severed ties with the place. He gave Joel - the patient who was interviewed for the Boston Globe- a slip of paper with the names of other psychiatrists at Judge Baker he could go to. Joel still has that slip of paper with Ayres' handwriting on it.

They need victims in Boston.

 

[believe09]

Good for Joel. How bizarre. Well, it was a nice dream for a second or two. We need to find a victim in Boston.

And another: Dr. Grigory Sorokin, from Wisconsin, had his license revoked for molesting three young male patients:

[Mercyneal]

Sorokin pled guilty to molestation and yet he still tries to get a get out of jail free card. Luckily it was denied.

Credit goes to Believe09 for this. Someone called Chapter750 has responded to her Topix posts on Judge Baker. It's a very thoughtful and quite possibly legit response from a man who says he was molested at Judge Baker,where Ayres worked, in the 1960s. Link:http://www.topix.com/forum/boston/TO3MGH35U1JLS521K

Chapter 750 wrote:

Hi -- Thanks for the heads up. It is a blessing that you cared enough to post this. I atteneded the Manville School at Judge Baker Guidance Center from 1964 to 1966. Following that I was in residential placement and Judge Baker largely had control over my life until I aged out at 18. My 'therapist' was one of the clinic's top administrators who also supervised child psychiatry residents. Due to the code of silence in place at that time, my allegations of felony level sexual and physical abuse were ignored, and extreme pressure to shut up was exerted on me. I always suspected a cover up or conspiracy but until now I never knew why. I have come forward repeatedly with accusations over the years but no one has believed me until now. I would love to hear from any other victims. I have contacted law enforcement. Thanks

____________

The dates are a bit off. Ayres worked at Judge Baker from 1959-1963. We believe he was in charge of residents, however. Also, there was another child psychiatrist there during 1964-1966 named Donald Lee Rife, who had his license revoked in Vermont, Massachusetts and Florida for molesting young boys. If this story is true, it could have been Rife who was the perpetrator. Rife is living footloose and fancy free in the St. Petersburg area of Florida. Or, it could have been Ayres.

We hope that this is a legit victim and that he has indeed contacted law enforcement. And if there are victims of Dr. William Ayres - or Dr. Donald Lee Rife- out there who were molested, please contact Sgt. Detective Robin Demarco at the Boston Police Department. Sgt. Demarco:
617-343-6183 or 617-593-4070 or 617-877-3699. Email: Demarco#[email protected]

I find it very disturbing that Samuel "Art" Silverman of Southern Oregon also served as the designated "court-approved" therapist/social worker for troubled boys and teens. He specialized in males with cognitive challenges. When he pleaded guilty, it was the molestation of family friends--NOT for patients.

When Judge Loren Sawyer of Jackson County failed to follow sentencing guidelines of Measure 11 and instead sentenced Silverman to probation and counseling, the state appealed. It was only upon that appeal that it became apparent that Silverman had also abused numerous patients. By this time, Silverman had already fled the country and hid in Israel for nine years before Interpol followed his wife to him. He is now is state prison serving his correctly adjusted sentence.

My question is why Silverman was allowed to plead guilty to molestation of family friends while the patients' charges were ignored? Is this so the county and the state could avoid suits concerning liability? Could this be what is happening in San Mateo?

http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/A99377.htm

"The presentence investigation revealed that numerous children had reported inappropriate sexual behaviors by defendant over many years. According to one parent, approximately 10 years before the charged incidents occurred, defendant had reached for the groin of her 10-year-old mentally retarded son during a counseling session. Another therapist reported that one of his clients, a 17-year-old male, said that defendant had asked the child to masturbate during a treatment session. Three other boys, one aged 13 and two aged 15, reported that defendant would rub and stroke their stomachs, reaching lower and lower until the children stopped him. Another mental health professional at an agency at which defendant had worked reported that there had been complaints that defendant asked children inappropriate questions about anal sex...."

All these reports about vile acts committed in the therapy office and the DA chose to only pursue the family friend complaints. Not OK.

 

[Mercyneal]

Perhaps it was easier to prove he had molested the children of family friends? I dunno.

 

[Mercyneal]

I am angry that no one in San Mateo County has gone back to look at all of the juveniles whom Ayres evaluated.

You just know he made deals with them - as Dr. Scott and Dr. Mark Blankenburg did. As in " I will give you money and/or drugs if you let me do this to you. I will also recommend that you get a light sentence."

 

[Missizzy]

I don't know if this is true in other states, but we have been told by at least three law firms that, in order to file a civil suit against a school or against parents of a juvenile rapist, one must prove that the school or parents "had reason to believe that the person was a danger to children". That could be something as simple as one parent having a history of abusing the accused. For a school, one would have to show that there had been prior complaints.

This leaves me to wonder, why victims and their families wouldn't be able to sue Jackson County if other therapists knew reports were coming in on Silverman and the county was still referring patients to him. I would think the parents of family friends would also be allowed to sue given the fact that the county must have known and done nothing to remove this man from practice and expose his acts.

There's also the issue that Silverman had seen a psychiatrist for years concerning his self-admitted pedophilia. Why isn't that doctor, Dr. Beebe, liable for damages for not reporting this to the appropriate authorities therein limiting the number of victims?

Has anyone ever discovered whether or not Ayres saw a therapist? I wouldn't be shocked to find out that he saw Dr. Beebe. That man must see nothing wrong with allowing known pedophiles to continue to treat children. He even suggested that Silverman keep his proclivities secret and not tell his wife, a psychiatrist herself.

Oh, there's a brotherhood, alright. It all about monetary damage control and not about the victims at all.
