---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RE: Morris Dees, Southern Poverty Law Center, Montgomery, Alabama
For those who asked for documentation concerning allegations against Morris
Dees, Southern Poverty Law Center, of pedophilia and homosexuality, among
other perversions, the following is excerpted from the Appellate Brief in
his divorce from his then-second wife, Marureen. The relevant portions of
the brief in full are available as DEES.ZIP from 1:231/110 (Fidonet) or by
FTP from
aen.aen.org (

This documents (1) PEDOPHILIA: Dees, wearing only bikini underwear,
attacked his 15 year old step-daughter, twice, putting a vibrator between
her legs as she was sleeping, after peeping in on her through her bedroom
window.
Holly Buck, was seven years old when her mother and Morris married. Holly
testified that, in the summer of 1977, Morris kept offering Holly wine,
some of which she accepted. At Morris' suggestion, they went outside to the
pool, and he suggested that they go for a swim, but Holly was tired and
declined (R. 731). She went to her room and then went into the bathroom.
Looking out the window, she saw Morris in the bushes beside the bathroom
window looking in (R. 731). She said "Morris, is that you", but he said
nothing and ran away (R. 732). Two months later, she was asleep one night
and Morris entered her room from Ellie's room, through the bathroom. he was
in his underwear and he sat on the bed where Holly was lying on her stomach
facing away from the door. He touched her on the back and woker her up. He
told her that he had brough her a present, and he presented her with a
vibrator. He plugged it in and said he had brought it to her. He proceeded
to rub it on her back and said, "Let me show you how to use it" (R. 733).
She said that's not necessary, but he started to place it between her legs
when she raised he voice and said no loudly. He then took the vibrator and
left (R. 734). All he had on was a pair of bikini underwear shorts (R.
734). About two hours later, she had fallen back asleep and he came back in
(R. 735). He brought the vibrator with him, plugged it in and said again,
"Let me show you how to use it." He tried to show her again by putting it
between her legs, but she raised her voice again and he stopped. He took it
and left (R. 635).
(2) HOMOSEXUAL PERVERSION: Dees has sex with another man, Charlie
Springman, who climbed into bed naked with Dees and his wife on Dees'
invitation (neither has sex with the wife).
Charlie Springman (homosexual). On August 11, 1978, Maureene and Morris'
tenth anniversary, they were having dinner at the Watergate Hotel in
Washington, D.C., and afterward had drinks in the bar (R. 333, et seq). In
the bar, they saw Charlie Springman, who Maureene knew as a Regional
Coordinator for the National Endownment of the Arts (R. 335). She had told
Morris that Springman was gay, but Morris had never met him. When they saw
him in the bar, Morris suggested inviting him over for a drink (R. 335).
After a while, to Maureene's surprise, Morris suggested that Charlie come
up to the room with them (R. 336). In the room, they drank wine and talked,
and Morris unbuttoned his shirt to the waist (R. 336). Charlie tried to
leave several times but Morris wouldn't let him (R. 337). Finally Morris
proposed that Charlie spend the night with them (R. 337). Mrs. Dees
protested, and put on her robe and nightgown to go to bed (R. 337-338).
Soon Charlie and Morris were in the bed naked, with Maureene in the middle
with her gown on (R. 338-339). Springman and Morris hugged and kissed, and
Morris tried to get Charlie to have relations with Maureene, but Springman
was physically unable to because he was not interested (R. 340). in fact,
no one make any effort to have sex with Mrs. Dees during this incident (R.
341). Springman kissed Morris' penis, and in fact, Morris complained that
he bit him and that it hurt (R. 340). Morris kissed Springman on
Springman's penis (R. 341). After about thirty minutes they all went to
sleep (R. 342). When Maureene woke up the next morning, Morris was gone (R.
342), but Springman was still asleep in the bed. After five or ten minutes
Morris returned and found Maureene crying. He apologized for the incident
and said that he would not let anything like that happen again (R. 343).
Morris denies parts of this episode, he admits its essential features:
Morris admits that he invited Springman to the room (R. 1571); that
Maureene put on a nightgown and robe and got into bed (R. 1537); that
Morris got into bed with nothing but his underclothes on (R. 1575); and
that Springman got into the bed naked (R. 1590).

of Mongtomery physician, fall of 1977, Dees took Judith into a back room of
his house during a party and had intercourse with her. (R. 1344, 293).
Deborah Levy, ACLU, In August, 1976, Morris and Maureene took Levy and her
boyfriend, Michael Gaas with them on a canoe trip down the river (R.
202-203). After supper, they had all gone to bed in sleeping bags, when
Maureene woke up and found Morris and Deborah naked, having sex on the
sandbar (R. 306). Morris turned to Maureene and insisted that she have sex
with the other man. (R. 306). Later Maureene went back to sleep and woke up

Montgomery to Kentucy. They were gone for four or five days, during which
they shared the same hotel accomodations (R. 331-332).
"Morris repeatedly bragged to Maureene that with his looks and his money he
could have any woman he wanted, and he constantly bragged about women
propositioning him (R. 350, et seq). [Some insight into the size of Morris'
ego is provided by his letter of January 22, 1979, to "Ham" Jordan (a copy
of which he sent to Vicki)m in which he makes application to be appointed
Attorney General of the United States to replace Griffin Bell, giving as
one of his principal qualifications the fact that "... all my life, I have
been a winner." (Pl. Ex. 91). Later in the marriage he repeatedly told her
of women that he had had sexual intercourse with during the marriage (R.
354). He said further that he enjoyed trying to turn on gay people . . . ."

MORRIS S. DEES,
Appellee.

MAURY SMITH JULIA S. WATERS CHARLES M. CROOK Attorneys for the Appellant

CROOK & CULPEPPER
P.O. Box 78
Montgomery, Al 36101
Telephone:
(205) 834-6500===================================================================
1975, in the case of JOANN LITTLE, Dees was ordered from the Courtroom for
attempting to get a witness to lie. The judge gave him 5 minutes to leave.
He was brought up on charges. His appeal was denied by Justice Burger. Even
though he was kicked off this case when it began, for attempting to coerce
a witness into committing perjury, he sent out pleas for money to
supporters using the Joann Little case to raise 10 million dollars.
Now THIS is the type of lying pervert who has been claiming that "militias
are racist terrorists."
If he lied to his wife and he tried to get a witness to lie in court, so
who WOULDN'T he lie to?
Is this the person from whom you get *YOUR* information about militias? If
you hear from:
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith -- Abe Foxman, Morton Halperin,
Irwin Suall Public Research Associates -- Chip Berlet, Lynn Wells, Lenny
Zeskind Southern Poverty Law Center or Klanwatch
ALL of whom rely on information from DEES on "terrorists," then
YOU'RE GETTING YOUR INFORMATION FROM THE SAME SOURCE: A KNOWN LYING
PEDOPHILE.
and the INFORMATION IS WRONG.
