John Walsh interviews Newark women

Pictured in Manhattan at the NBC studios are Brenda Yetter-Thurston, activist and television host John Walsh, and Suzanne Jarzynka.

The Newark women were invited to tape a TV segment with Walsh on October 3, and it will air in New York, Albany, Syracuse, Binghamton, etc.

These women are working to get a law passed, against video-voyeurism. The bill is currently stuck in the Assembly. It is not against the law in this state to videotape a person without his/her knowledge or permission.

Kindergarten-age children of these women were videotaped in a classroom closet, changing from school clothes into bathing suits for an end-of-year fun day. Their teacher, Mike Dorrington, spent a few weeks in jail and is now out on probation.

Brett Davidsen of Rochester news Channel 10 did an interview with the Newark women which aired Monday.

Walsh began a career of lobbying, activism, and helping to bring criminals to justice after his son Adam was murdered in Florida. You can read more about his talk show at www.johnwalsh.tv/
