Plaintiff
Estate of Amold Lett, Sr.
Defendant
PLAINTIFF’S AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF HER MOTION TO ATTACH REAL ESTATE
AND FURTHER PRELIMINARY RELEIF
I, Jennifer Doe do hereby depose, and state as follows:
1 1am the Plaintiff in the above captioned matter.
2, The Defendant, Arnold Lett, Sr., is a close family member who sexually abused me while
I was a child.
I was forced to endure countless sexual assaults at the hands of the Defendant. The abuse
began when I was approximately five (5) years old and continued for approximately eight (8)
years until I was thirteen (13) years old.
My parents, brother and I lived in a two-family house, living on the top floor and my close family
relative, Arnold Lett, Sr., lived on the first floor. Because of this, I spent a lot of time visiting and
sleeping over my family members house downstairs.
The abuse started with inappropriate touching of my private areas, (vagina and chest) and
groping me under my pajamas and underwear and escalated over time. Most of the
incidents of abuse occurred in the Defendant's home, located at 3 Riverway Road, in
Dennis, Massachusetts.
I didn't feel like I could tell anyone about the abuse due to the death threats made.
During that time, I became more isolated. I would often go to bed early and stay up all
night, avoiding sleep to traumatic nightmares reliving the abuse nearly every single
night.
Around the age of 14 years, I began refusing to attend family holidays, visits, and spending time with my
close family member, due to the sexual abuse.
2
The abuse came to light to my family, when I was around 17 years old, when I had told my
mother of the sexual abuses my close family member did to me. (I did tell a friend in school
what happened, but she kept my secret.)
10 My close family member threatened me that if I ever told anyone or went to the police,
he would hurt me and my family. I was seriously afraid he was going to have us
killed.

life. I lost almost my entire childhood to sexual abuse.
