He attempted to deprogram a woman Scientologist whose name I
don't recall offhand.  She resisted all his efforts.  The woman was
held a prisoner by Patrick and his assistants for a month.  In
desperation, Patrick asked Nan McLean to fly to California to assist
him in the deprogramming.

When Nan McLean got to San Diego and saw what was going on, she
immediately demanded that the woman be released.  Nan was appalled by
Patrick's brutal methods.  Nan McLean agreed to testify against Ted
Patrick in the subsequent criminal and civil trials ensuing from
Patrick's failed effort at deprogramming a Scientologist.

Paulette Cooper attempted to coerce Nan McLean from testifying in
Patrick's trials by threatening to cut off funding of Nan's anticult
efforts.  For this, Cooper was sued for witness-tampering by the
Scientologist.  The lawsuit was dropped when Paulette Cooper settled
her lawsuits against the CoS out of court.

Paulette Cooper assisted Ted Patrick on more than one occasion.  One
of the taped telephone conversations entered into evidence by the CoS
in Cooper's Boston lawsuit was a phone call from Cooper to Sondra
Sacks, Ted Patrick's secretary and assistant in deprogrammings.
Cooper and Sacks discussed a potential Patrick client, who was
referred to Patrick by Cooper.  They spent time discussing just how
much money the desperate father should be charged for their
deprogramming "services," and how important it was to make sure the
father wasn't told about Patrick's criminal indictments and upcoming
trials.
