Dear Mr. Nobile, Chief of Special Prosecutions,

Copy to:
Honorable U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie,

I am attaching two letters, one sent May 3, 2005, from you to the undersigned, sent about the same time that I and Steven Fine had a meeting with you at the Newark Office. The other sent October 1, 2007, from Mr. Robert Franco to you, referencing me.

1. To recap the letter that you had sent me, the crux of the letter was concerning the hacking of my website, www.crrol.org and the evidence that the New Jersey Judiciary, was one of the last entities that entered the site, before the hacking by judeandchris.com, an outfit that appears to do business with pedophiles.

2. When we met, I was complaining about improper and alleged criminal acts, that were committed by a former judge. I had asked you to seize my court file. My complaint was about the judges and as it relates to CRRoL. It was rather amazing that all the material that was removed, was relative to the former Judge John M. Boyle, of Union County.

3. At the end of our meeting, you asked me if you were to obtain my court folder, would I stop complaining about judges. It seems that as your question sounded a bit unusual, or like something else, you didn't seize my folder and I have not stopped complaining about criminal acts in New Jersey.

4. Now, presently, enters the mix of Mr. Franco's letter. If you did make these statements to him, then you have been deluding me all along. If you did not, then Mr. Franco is guilty of submitting slanderous and false material to the court......which is it, and what has the FBI uncovered about the perverted entity that has hacked CRRoL? (7th entry down in stats counter)

5. Perhaps, what you meant in your commentary to Mr. Franco is, " it's too bad that since your involvement with Ms. Jampel, she has caught you red handed!"


Cordially,

Cynthia Feiler Jampel

Sexual harassment lawsuit targets ex-Gov. DiFrancesco
Lawyer from his firm claims improper firing
Thursday, October 25, 2007
BY JOSH MARGOLIN AND ROBERT SCHWANEBERG
Star-Ledger Staff
A lawyer who claims she was sexually harassed by former Gov. Donald DiFrancesco and fired from his law firm when she "blew the whistle" on bad behavior by a municipal judge filed suit against the firm yesterday.

DiFrancesco called the allegations "absolutely false."


The civil suit was filed in Essex County by Michele D'Onofrio, 48, a single mother of four who lives in Warren Township and served as its municipal prosecutor. She claims she was fired last month "in retaliation" for filing a judicial ethics complaint against a local judge after being warned not to do so.

The lawsuit says D'Onofrio had learned that Warren Township Municipal Court Judge Richard Sasso was "inebriated" on the bench and had abused his powers. It claims Assemblyman Christopher "Kip" Bateman (R-Somerset), a partner in the firm, warned her not to file a complaint.

D'Onofrio contends that during her six years at the firm, she was "regularly subjected to unwelcome and sexist comments and advances by Donald DiFrancesco" and "experienced a pattern and practice of sex discrimination."

Reached last evening, DiFrancesco, 62, said: "Let me just say this: Kip and I are public figures so we're easy targets. This person was asked to take her business elsewhere -- not just by me, but by the owners of our business for business reasons. What she's alleging is absolutely false, both as to myself and as to Kip. It's just a matter of trying to collect."

Efforts to reach Sasso last evening were unsuccessful.

The lawsuit alleges that at a meeting of the League of Municipalities in Atlantic City, "DiFrancesco asked plaintiff to stay an extra night in his suite and to attend a Beach Boys concert with him. Plaintiff refused."

DiFrancesco said his wife, Diane, was with him at the Atlantic City convention and he was only trying to be nice by offering D'Onofrio and his other partners the chance to use an extra room in their suite.

He declined to comment on any of the other accusations, on the advice of his attorney.

The lawsuit also claims that shortly before D'Onofrio underwent reconstructive surgery this month following a double mastectomy, DiFrancesco made inappropriate remarks about how she would look afterward.

It also alleges the firm has no female partners and recently held a golf outing for male employees only.

"It's 2007. Who has a men-only firm outing? You kidding me?" said Nancy Erika Smith, the Montclair lawyer who is representing D'Onofrio.

"Other women have complained about the conduct and I can prove it," Smith said. "Once in a while, you get these big shots who think that this little girl, who is nobody, can't stand up to them. That's how they treated her. It's been awful."

Smith said she filed the lawsuit in Essex County because D'Onofrio had brought her concerns to some Superior Court judges in Somerset County who "are going to be witnesses."
