Good afternoon Mr. Williams,

I am an agent with the FBI and I work cases involving crimes against children. We were provided with the information you emailed to CREW by representatives of CREW. We would like to meet with you at a location that is convenient to you to discuss the information you provided in more detail. Please feel free to contact me by email or at my cellular telephone (included below) so we can coordinate this meeting.

Thanking you in advance,

Special Agent Regino E. Chavez

Mr. Chavez:

I share the reasons CREW had to send you the information I provided them. Those are the same reasons why I decided to get involved in this process. From now on I suppose you will take charge of the investigation CREW was developing.

I hope you´ll understand my reasons, but for the moment I´d prefer to keep contact this way. Apart from that, I´m at your complete disposal. Just tell me how I can help, although I know the FBI has the means to investigate deeper and get to the bottom of all this.

My main concern is the protection of my sources´ identities. They are, as you may know, young prostitutes involved in those activities with senator Menendez and his friend Dr. Salomon Melgen. About the latter, I´m sure with just a slight research, all his vices and excessive activities, in which the senator has taken part, will come out to the surface. He is one of the keys to this investigation.

I´d also like that some social institution would assist these minors involved in their reinsertion to society.

About the girls, you may have the information I passed to CREW with some of their names. Not all the participants in those private parties are aware that some of the girls sharing with them are underage; others were minors some time ago, being already part of this circle. My point is that not knowing that, does not exempt them from their responsibility in this issue.

At your disposal,

Mr. Williams,

Thank you for replying. Now that you have opened a line of communication with me, I want to thank you for coming forward with this information, which is very sensitive. I understand your concerns and the reasons why you might be somewhat reluctant to meet with me.

However, I want to assure you that I have a great deal of experience handling investigations that involve children as victims. Many of the cases I work involve the sexual exploitation of girls, and my main concern is always the safety and well being of the girls. The FBI doesn’t just prosecute the individuals who exploit these girls, but we also coordinate services and assistance for the girls. In this investigation not only would we help and protect the girls, but we would also make your safety a key component.

This being said, I would like you to understand that it is very important that I meet with you in person. Even though you have already provided us with valuable information, we are still missing pieces of information that we need to continue our investigation. I believe you can provide these missing pieces.

Perhaps our first meeting could be an opportunity for you to meet me in person, so that we can discuss your concerns about the girls and yourself, without you feeling obligated to give us more information. I am confident that once you meet me and I fully explain our way of working these cases you will feel comfortable working with me, so that we can pursue this investigation.
Please let me know.

Respectfully,

Special Agent Regino E. Chavez
