Larry Green's Sexual Abuse
Summer, 1965
Covington, Louisiana

Green has been forgiven.........but he should not be a judge!

Excerpts from
a series of writings

Judiciary Commission of Louisiana

I was sexually abused by Larry Green while in high school.  One night after dinner he asked me to return after taking my girl friend home, which I did.  After more alcohol, Green told me that he wanted to give me some of his old shorts, and that I needed to try them on.  When I began to undress in the hallway of his old house, he slowly approached me as if to check the fit.  It was no time at all before he was performing oral sex on me.  The alcohol and implied trust impeded my judgment, and I regretfully allowed the act.  This was repeated multiple times and within a few weeks.  Thereafter, I strongly rejected his encroachment, and from that point forward just ignored that it had taken place.   Later, and while we owned a boat together, he made another attempt, which greatly infuriated me.  I actually pushed him out of a swing onto the deck of the boat.  Another time, as I was standing on the rail of the boat speaking with someone on the upper deck, he put his hand up my suit.  I became livid, immediately returning the boat to the slip.  Without even securing the vessel, my girl friend (my present wife) and I left and within three miles, I flipped the automobile after a high-speed fury.  We were both taken to the hospital and fortunate that our injuries were minor.  The reason for my uncontrollable anger has never been revealed until this writing.

Judge Larry Green
Hiding Behind His Robe  . . . . . . . . .

Green made another attempt after my marriage, and before his.  Again, there was hostile rejection from me, which brought on open discussion between my wife and Larry as to why he felt as he did.  Larry actually told her about his homosexuality at that time.

The last sexual approach Larry Green made on me was after he was married to Martha Currie.  The four of us were returning from a party in New Orleans.  My wife was driving, Martha was in the front seat, and Larry and I were in the back.  To no surprise, we were both drunk.  While crossing the causeway, Green reached over and attempted to fondle me.  This could have been the end of this situation, as I became infuriated.  It is a wonder that I did not throw him out of the moving auto and off the bridge.  This was the end of our social friendship, even though there were sporadic attempts to rekindle the foursome.  Again, I ignored the sexual abuses and even entered into a business relationship with Green and others at a later date, but our personal relationship was non-existent and/or volatile.  After 1981, any possibility of a friendship was impossible.

Many in this community use the phrase, “I have always suspected”, or “someone told me”, when discussing Larry Green’s homosexuality.  I am in a different position, in that “I personally know and have experienced”.  Shortly after Larry’s first abuse, he introduced me to others who had the same desire as he.  Larry introduced me to, an insurance agent and a local architect.  Later it was Brady Fitzsimmons and an attorney from Mandeville.  I was well aware that Green had an active homosexual relationship with these individuals as he openly discussed it.  He also was hitting on a past college football player as well as his brother.  There was a buddy from his military days from Texas, a college boy from Covington Country Club, a past school mate of mine, a neighboring principal’s son, a local feed store owners son, another young attorney, many from New Orleans including his best friend’s brother, and multiple individuals he met through a local theatre group in Covington.  He was also a member of a homosexual club in New Orleans.  I have personal knowledge that Green maintained his homosexual relationship with many well after his marriage and multiple up to this writing. 

His wife, Martha Currie Green, has tried to cover for Larry.  As I have told you through previous correspondence, my sisters asked Larry to participate in my father’s funeral years ago.  Upon learning this, I called his home getting his wife Martha on the phone.  In no uncertain terms, I told her that Larry was not going to do what he did to me during my high school years and also carry my father’s coffin.  I also told her that I was ready to tell the Times Picayune all about Larry Green’s homosexual life.  Needless to say, he did not show.  In that he honored my request, I again ignored the past and did not address the issue.

Prior to Katrina and on multiple occasions, I was asked by an investigator of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s office to testify against Green as he made a pass at one of their officers.  I declined to do so, which was a mistake.  I highly respect law enforcement and should have honored their request.  The investigator is available to verify the request.

Judiciary Commission of Louisiana

In my letter of January 31, 2007, I was very specific.  I turned my gut inside out to tell you what I know.  My recall is very keen at present, and I would like to expand my notice to include the following:

Judge Larry John Green, between 1967 thru the mid 70’s, had a homosexual relationship with a New Orleans attorney named Graham who lived in the quarter and Larry stayed with him often.  Graham died a number of years back of a strange illness.  Another was a fellow law school classmate named “Hoot”, who in later years announced to a number of his friends and myself at a party that he was bi-sexual.  I actually caught them having sex one morning after a Tulane/LSU game, opening the wrong bedroom door.  Third, was a Tulane medical student, who now lives in St. Tammany.  Another bizarre situation was around 1968-72.  Larry had a friend named Guy Curtis that was a jailor in a neighboring Parish.   This fellow actually brought two inmates to Covington one night and to a bar named the “Heritage”.  Larry wanted to have sex with one and they went behind the building to do so.   Guy and Larry were childhood friends.  Another was a cousin of Larry’s, living across the street from his parent’s in Enon.  Larry told me about his experiences with his cousin and also that his parents caught him in the act.   As recall continues to produce, I will apprise you of my knowledge.  There are more!

Continuing the format of my February 04, 2007 letter, I remember the following:

In January of 1968, Larry asked another couple, and myself to share the rental of an apartment in the French Quarter, with Mardi Gras being the focus of the venture.   Something happened within weeks between the couple and Larry.  They dropped out of the venture and accused Larry of bringing homosexual tricks to the apartment.  We never really got into the dispute, or even understood what it was about until years later.  Cathy and I were attending SLU at the time and only used the apartment on weekends.  I learned in the past few weeks that Green was having a homosexual affair with the husband, and the couple later divorced.

Cathy and I invited a friend from North Carolina to join us for Mardi Gras.  He was playing ball at the time and brought some of the other players along with him.  At some point, my college bud passed out on the bathroom floor before getting into the shower.  Larry either followed him in or saw an opportunity.   To Larry’s surprise, I went in to use the facility, finding my friend naked on the floor with Larry standing over him.  I questioned Larry heavily, as to what he was doing or had done.  He denied touching him, but remarked as to his body.  I told him to leave him alone and get out.   I never addressed the issue with my friend.  I can only hope nothing happened.

Larry has also maintained a homosexual relationship with another attorney named David; whom I think practiced in New Orleans at one time.  David has a camp or bed & breakfast somewhere on the little Tchefuncta River, north of Covington.  I have been told that Green and others join this attorney for group sex.  When face to face, I will add the names and details.  They include a past state representative, an abstractor from Covington, an attorney who has been sanctioned by the bar in the past for misusing escrowed funds, and an insurance agent mentioned before.

At this time, it is difficult for me to explain how I could ignore the scope of Larry’s issues.  Especially now that I have dredged the past over and over, and written page after page, I find it very embarrassing to think I was so tolerant and naïve; and just put every thing aside.  For that, I have absolutely no answer

I felt I had written to you my last time until a phone conversation with a Ms. Vilardo.

Vilardo was before Judge Green in a divorce case, and while under oath in a full courtroom, revealed a homosexual relationship between her husband and the Judge.  According to her attorney, Green fell apart, started crying, left the bench, and eventually left the courthouse.  She said it was total chaos, disturbing to the deputies, very revealing and embarrassing.  Her attorney  felt everything would be in the court record: Vilardo vs Vilardo.  Green eventually recused himself from the case.   Her attorney also mentioned another case where Green’s sexuality biased his decision.  There was an investigator hired, and I spoke with him.  His first response to my call totally enforced my claim.  

Vilardo was interviewed by WTIX radio after her trial.  She again testified as to the homosexual affair of her husband and Green and with great detail.  The interview was taped, and available to the commission.  She was also contacted by law enforcement after the interview regarding Green and another case.  A tape of this interview has been mailed under separate cover.

Ms. Vilardo offered much more, but I feel it best that she relate her many traumatic experiences directly to your investigators.  Unfortunately, she was not aware of the commission complaint process, nor did she have the financial ability to hire representation.  There is much more, but I felt it important to get you these basic facts first.

Jury Coordinator
22^nd Judicial District Court

I have been summoned for petit jury service beginning today.   I do not feel that I could serve and my reasons are based on the following:

During my youth, Larry Green, your senior judge, sexually abused me.  It has taken years for me to even allow these memories to fester, and almost impossible to address in writing.  I maintain hostility and resentment toward Green, which I will take to my grave.

As per the attached correspondence, my experience with the 22^nd judicial has been miserable.  Brady Fitzsimmons deviously denied and/or obstructed my access to the justice system in a family matter.  The 22nd judicial review committee, because of his actions, removed Fitzsimmons from my case.  Unfortunately, at that point the damage was done.  His directives established the demise of my parents and my productive life.  

No one in this community has more respect for the system than I do.  I have worked on many political campaigns, and at all levels of government.  I have also served on the grand jury, which opportunity I performed with great pride.  Ever since I received my summons for petit jury I have felt compelled to serve, but my constant review of the past has resulted in this letter.

The two issues described above would totally pre-occupy my attention, and impede my ability to juror.  I ask you to please excuse me from service.

Thank you for your time and attention.

 I was called Monday afternoon by a friend close to the Judiciary Commission and told that Green was going to be allowed to complete his term, but they considered him a "lame duck".
