CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: • May 3, 1978 • No. P-9019
Mr. Timothy Oliver Stoen
Attorney At Law
120 Montgomery Street
San Francisco, California
On May 2, 1978, Steven A. Katsaris voluntarily came to this office for a polygraph examination. The main issue under consideration involve allegations of sexual molestation made against him by his daughter, Maria Katsaris. Maria is presently with the People’s Temple Church in Guyana. During Mr. Katsaris’s attempts to get his daughter away from this church, the allegations of sexual molestation were made by some of the officials of the People’s Temple Church. No specific, public statements along this line made by Maria Katsaris. Among other charges made against Katsaris by the People’s Temple Church was the statement that he was involved with a right-wing congressman in a conspiracy to destroy People’s Temple Church.
During Mr. Katsaris’ pre-test interview, he maintained that he has never made any sexual advances whatsoever toward his daughter, Maria. He also insisted that he has never been involved in any conspiracy with a congressman to destroy People’s Temple Church.
There were no significant emotional disturbances indicative of deception reflected in Mr. Katsaris’ polygraph charts when he answered “No” to the following test questions:
“Did you ever make any sexual advances toward Maria Katsaris?”
“Did you ever try to have sexual intercourse with your daughter, Maria?”
“Did you ever sexually fondle any part of Maria’s body?”
“Did you ever plan with any congressman to destroy People’s Temple Church?”
It is the opinion of the examiner, based on Katsaris’ polygraph charts, that he is telling the truth on the above-listed questions.
Very truly yours,
