In 2013, 74 yo retired teacher Christopher Kloman received a 43-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting several female students under the age of 14. James Alefantis' sister Susan was one of many people who defended Kloman in letters to judge Jan Brodie.
I revisited this angle because of this post which led here (goes to show revisiting old clues can be very fruitful). For some reason Alefantis' letter is unavailable, but many others are - many from well-known DC power players.
Most famous is Ken Starr, who of course also defended Jeffrey Epstein. But among Kloman's defenders are also ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson, a former aide to Laura Bush, a former GOP congressman, and a powerful partner at the insider law firm Akin Gump.
So why would such a powerful group of people appeal to a judge in the case of a retired teacher who estimated that he molested girls ‘less than 10 times’” from 1966 to 1985, sometimes by luring them to a isolated location under the guise of helping them with homework?
Well it turns out Kloman has many connections to institutions very familiar to pizzagate researchers. As Starr himself wrote: "I personally have known Mr. Kleman (sic) since 1982, as we both served on the Claude Moore Colonial Farm Board in Mclean for thirty years together."
Apparently Kloman has been Claude Moore Farm since before it changed its name from Turkey Run Farm - you know, where John Podesta took up his hobby of slaughtering pigs.
Another familiar name returning tie and again in the letters of support is Habitat for Humanity. "Chris has been a steadfast member of the Northern Virginia Habitat for Humanity team, working there three days a week building affordable homes and making home repairs for those less fortunate among us. Knowing what we now know about his past, we believe that Chris began his repentance journey years ago in working tirelessly for his church and for the homeless at Habitat for Humanity". Thus wrote Dabney and Dick Schmitt.
Habitat for Humanity is connected to Dyncorp and the Bushes as well as RTI Surgical.
Gary C. Olson wrote: "I learned Chris headed the organization that oversaw the Claude Moore Colonial Farm located along the George Washington Parkway. Particularly impressive, was his leadership in raising money and helping to build a mission church for Habitat in the Dominican Republic".
But raising money wasn't all that Kloman did for Habitat in the DR. Wrote James R. Stirn: "He served for several years as an energetic member of the Missions Committee at St. John's Episcopal Church in Mclean, during which time he made trips to the Dominican Republic and helped with construction of a trade school there being sponsored by the church."
That school would be the Bob and Ellen Snow Episcopal School. There are only a couple mentions of Kloman's trips to the DR, mostly to underscore his charity, commitment etc. But one writer seems a little less than certain about those: "I was not on the trips to Consuelo, but I am very sure that Chris flew to there to help with this", said Margaret Whitehead.
The same woman writes about another of Kloman's community activities, Alternative House, a charitable house for school-age children without parents in Fairfax County, even if she somewhat conspiucuously mentions she has not been there in person:
"Though I have contributed to it, I have not been there. But he has. After a workday there that he most likely organized himself, that is a day to act as a cleaning staff for the House, I asked him, "How did it go Chris." Emphatically, and with a big smile and great joy, he said, "AWESOME!" I had expected him to say, "We got the job done," or "What a mess we found," or, perhaps smiling, "Cleaning up after teenagers is something!" But he said, "AWESOME." He clearly loved it."
Yeah I bet he did. Runaway youth, teen mothers, at-risk children. We all know the drill by now. These pedos and child rapists are all attracted to the same 'charities'. Out of contrition of course.
Well I don't believe in repeated rapists who repent. In this case, just a year after his sentencing and mass elite support, new evidence emerged of much wider spread abuse than previously thought, with 26 more molested students coming forward.
These cases were all from before the mid-80s. I believe Kloman did not repent after that - as even his 2013 confession proved a sham - but was embedded in the elite pedo-ring of McLean/DC, where via their familiar institutions he could more safely access young victims - at Claude Moore Farm, Habitat for Humanity, Alternative House and of course, the Dominican Republic.
