Ms. Selena Harrison (Victim) Request for Investigation & Arrest Violation(s) Mich. Comp. Law § 750.520(b) Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree
Mr. Schneider: For reasons more fully set forth in the enclosed Affidavit of Ms. Selena Harrison, sworn to on February 15, 2018, I kindly request: (1) a meeting with Ms. Selena Harris and your office to discuss her case; (2) that your office open an investigation to determine whether or not there was an ongoing pattern or practice, or other victims similarly situated to Ms. Harrison, or other teenagers sexually victimized, at the Northern High School in Detroit from 1990 to 2000 and (3) that your office arrest and prosecution Dr. Hudson for his criminal sexual conduct with Ms. Selena Harris more than two decades ago. Ms. Harrison has been attempting to have her concerns regarding the abuse by Dr. Hudson addressed by government authorities for nearly twenty years, to no avail. As far back as 2000, Ms. Harrison made complaints regarding Mr. Hudson with Detroit Public Schools officials, the Detroit Police Department, and at the Wayne County Prosecutor Office. She even attempted to raise abuse allegations within the context of Family Court proceedings only to be told that such proceedings were an improper forum for her complaints of abuse.
Mr. Mathew J. Schneider, U.S. Attorney (Continued) Given Michigan’s criminal sexual conduct statutes, Ms. Harrison, and other potential victims, may still have legal recourse to hold Dr. Hudson accountable for his abuse dating back to her teenage years. The harm done to Ms. Harrison during her teenage years have caused, and continue to cause, serious emotional and psychological damage. Dr. Hudson must be held accountable and Ms. Harrison must be heard. On behalf of Ms. Harrison, and other potential victims, The Stacy Barker Center For Women and Girls, Inc. kindly request your office initiate an investigation into the handling of Ms. Harrison’s complaints over the years as well as the possibility of prosecuting Dr. Hudson from his sexual relationship with a young girl who was both his student and psychiatric patient. Justice dictates no less. The Stacy Barker Center For Women and Girls, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization committed to advocating for and vindicating the rights of women, particular women who have suffered from domestic violence, sexual abuse or sexual misconduct. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter and please contact me at the address and telephone number listed above. Sincerely, /s/ Stacy Barker _________________________________ Ms. Stacy Barker President & Executive Director
