"In March of 2004 we met for a date. As a 37 year old
woman I have been on many in my adult life always taking the necessary
precautions and trusting my instincts about men which had not failed me before.
I also put my trust into Marsalis as a gentleman and a human being. He is
neither.
He took advantage of my trust. Throughout our conversation
that evening he told me his fabricated life story and careers and documented it
with various forms of “false” identification. He drugged my drink and violated
me sexually as a woman and a human being.
He took away the confidence I had in myself to make sound
judgements about men and people. I sought professional help to work my way back
to the previous confidence I had before my encounter with him. I know I will
get there because I believe in myself.
Throughout my experience with him at the Philadelphia
Preliminary Hearing in Oct/Nov 2006, the 2007 trial, closing arguments and
sentencing, Jeffrey Marsalis has never once showed remorse or ceased to blame
all the women who came forward accusing him of his crimes. I believe he will
never take responsibility or come to the realization that he has done anything
wrong. He is a threat to woman and society if he continues along this path of
denial.
Jeffrey Marsalis has contributed nothing to society in a
personal or professional capacity. He has caused more pain to the women he has
encountered than can ever be put into words.
Your Honor, please sentence him to the maximum for the
crime of Rape in which he has been convicted."
