Francisco, Leonard Cohen’s sexual harassment of me is not my intent to annoy this man. He would have me read legal and business documents to him while he took bubble baths. I explained this to a friend of mine who then asked me if he had a small penis. The fact that the Domestic Violence Unit of the City Attorney’s office views sexual harassment as an attempt to annoy someone is positively inconceivable. If Leonard Cohen doesn’t want people talking about his penis (or asking about it) then he should not expose himself to his female personal manager. This is irrelevant to the prosecutor. She is, from my perspective, a lunatic. Does Leonard Cohen’s penis interest Cooley or does Cooley think Cohen has a big penis? What is the issue here re. Cooley and Cohen’s penis? Does Streeter, who has clearly attempted to sabotage the IRS, think the IRS is actually interested in Cohen’s penis? Perhaps the sexual harassment and the fact that I was forced to read documents - such as Grubman Indursky’s memo re. the Traditional Holdings deal - to this man while he bathed interests them. This incident seems entirely legitimate. So legitimate that Boies Schiller felt Neal Greenberg should include it in his lawsuit against Leonard Cohen.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Streeter: And is there an S. Cooley -- is an S. Cooley one of the recipients?
Cohen: Yes, S. Cooley is a recipient.
Streeter: What is the subject, Mr. Cohen, of that email? RT 259
Cohen: And, yes -- oh, subject. Re: And, yes, Leonard Cohen does have a small, if non-existent penis …
Streeter: The first sentence in the email.
Cohen: Glen [Glenn Greenwald/Guardian UK], Michael asked the crucial -- the crucial question his week. Does Cohen, who would have me read business legal documents while he was in the bubble bath, have a small penis? RT 260
Streeter: Was the IRS one of the recipients?
Cohen: I’m sorry?
Streeter: IRS.
Cohen: Yes, the IRS is a recipient. RT 261
I think the prosecutor attempted to mislead the jury re. the elements of the intent to annoy insanity. Cohen’s being annoyed is not an element of this so-called crime that I view as unconstitutionally vague and overly broad. Who knows what annoyed means. Furthermore, the judge did not correctly instruct the jurors on the actual elements of this alleged crime. But, that’s not prosecutorial misconduct - just a point I’m raising for you, Francisco. “Both by the volume and the content.” Sounds like someone was hanging out with lawyers.
MISLEADING - COHEN’S BEING ANNOYED IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF THE CRIME. JURY INSTRUCTIONS DID NOT ACCURATELY ADDRESS THE ELEMENTS OF INTENT TO ANNOY.
Streeter: Were you annoyed by that email?
Cohen: Both by the volume and the content. RT 262
Streeter: Were you annoyed by the voice mail messages?
Cohen: Annoyed and alarmed by the voice mail messages. RT 262
Kelley Lynch Cross:
Streeter: And the subject about that email is Mr. Cohen’s penis.
Lynch: … My gay friend, Michael, asked me, what size Mr. Cohen’s penis was, and felt that perhaps he’d like to discuss that. RT 506
The people clearly do not understand why sexual harassment is unacceptable in a business relationship - and that includes exposing oneself to their female personal manager.
Streeter: Are the people correct in understanding that you don’t see that as annoying to send out a mass email about a gentleman’s penis size?
Lynch: I have no idea. Mr. Cohen didn’t mind looking at people defecating on one another in front of me.
Streeter: Do you consider that annoying, Ms. Lynch.
Lynch: I have no idea. I would consider it annoying to have to ask for tax information for six years. RT 508
Francisco, Leonard Cohen went into my son’s father’s office - with his lawyer Robert Kory - and falsely accused me of having sex with Oliver Stone. Why would a prosecutor believe that this was meant to annoy Leonard Cohen? Leonard Cohen’s conduct appears to annoy Leonard Cohen who dragged Oliver Stone into this situation for reasons I cannot even imagine. This was evidently one of his first lines of defense with respect to the allegations that he committed criminal tax fraud and his full; understanding that I intended to report it to the IRS.
Lynch: Because he went into my son’s father’s office and said I had sex with Oliver Stone.
Streeter: Okay. So you remember saying that, right?
Lynch: Because he went into my son’s father’s office and -- after we parted ways, and said I had sex with Oliver Stone, which I did not.
Streeter; Do you think that’s annoying?
Lynch: No I think it’s outrageous that he would go in and lie about that … He accused me of having sex with his tax lawyer, which I did not. I found that outrageous. To my son’s father.
Streeter: You don’t think that’s annoying.
Lynch: It was indeed annoying to me. Unbelievable. RT 509
Streeter: Do you think it’s annoying -- would be annoying to Mr. Cohen?
Lynch: Why would Mr. Cohen accuse me of having sex with his tax lawyer and Oliver Stone and be annoyed? It seems like I should be annoyed since he lied. RT 510
