But last year he looked up the victim on Linked-In, found her email, and sent a message.

Working with APD and State Police, she called Esterly while police were recording. She talked with him for more than 45 minutes, asking him about their alleged sexual encounters in the past.


On the phone call, Esterly never denied having sex with the victim, or giving her drugs. But on the stand Wednesday, he said he never had sex with the victim, or gave her alcohol or drugs.

The absolute gall of this man. He thought he could still manipulate her like he did when she was a child. But he’s due at least 43 years in prison. He’ll never get out. Good riddance.
