What's the state's position on that? The state has? No. All right. Thank you. And can you make this here? I overall, I just want to allocate to the court. Ok, Mr, they'll come up to the OK. Good afternoon, New York. Good afternoon. Maybe where my entire career was in the performing arts. This is how, yeah, for my part, I wish to communicate in complete honesty and transparency. In other words, first, I am 100% responsible for my actions describing the four charges who I play. PC. I have no excuse for justification. Nothing to offer to lessen the impact I rationalize will transpire. I am willing it as ready as possible to accept the consequences of the hate of the crimes for which the apologies that will follow come from complete awareness to my sin. She desire to healing bac and most importantly to others. I had sinned against my heavenly father. I continued to experience the deepest sorrow chamber disip him and ignoring his words and mourning and consciously and let him gather their relationship with New Zealand on my side. I do feel he is already fear me how his revelations continue to float on me as well as before. This came pride in all those debilitating work to bring to that tremendous damage. I left the path of purpose and integrity. I failed those who trusted me. I myself who became the center of attention instead of putting everyone else's needs. First. I largely feel remorseful and will work for the rest of my life to redeem the make continue to do a deep dive of what caused me to leave the past. There is much rehabilitation in the future to the victim. In this case, I am so sorry for the pain and damage that caused you to if you were wondering why this would happen to you and what you did to deserve. This answer is nothing. Judge Salvador being ashamed and sorrowful will never have come for the damage that caused this person, a talented young woman whose only desire was to be mentored in her arts and studies. She deserves none of this. And I pray earnestly for healing every facet of her being. I pray that her life will be eventually free from mental and emotional angst that which I can't imagine. I wish there was another word to express my sorrow, but it is vitally important that I fully embrace the damage. This is done. I want sugar cane to her parents. Please forgive me for taking advantage of your trust and turning it into a painful and horrific experience. You trusted me implicitly with your daughter. When I flip the script and imagine the same happened to my Children. I can imagine your war to anger. I would never be able to completely distance myself from the betrayal that students trust or parents trust or their self. My career and accomplishments are not a matter of interest or concern. My sorrowful heart goes out to any student or parent who felt harmed in my presence. There's no question. I crossed a sacred line. The bolder of my actions fell not just on the victim in this case, but on her family and so many others in the D A community and beyond because of it and it blew up their lives and continues to do so. It is that pain and horrific, unmentionable suffering and the impact I want to press into whatever positive thoughts they used to have may now be tainted by my despicable actions. I pray that students have not lost faith in teachers and authority figures because of me. I truly pray that the list of damaging impact of my apologies include the following. I am deeply sorrowful and apologize to all students from D that came in contact with me and my teaching. All I can see are the shock and devastating faces of the town h and inner suffering. I'm deeply sorrowful and apologize to all my former colleagues at D A. You did not deserve this in your lives and careers. Teachers need encouragement that doubt brought on the actions of the fellow teacher. I am deeply sorrowful and apologize for what my actions have caused in the music community and school. I apologize to all music colleagues with whom we have contact and relationship to work for the good of the students. Not for me. I am deeply sorrowful and I apologize specifically to all my local department colleagues. Several were art former students and even his colleagues from my same schools. I pray that one day they will forgive me for my actions. And more than anything that they will forgive me for the conversations that prevented me prevented them from being all they were meant to be to the students, to my family. I'm so thankful. My sweet caring parents do not live to see this ungodly portion of my life. This is not how they raised me. They both passed away within eight hours of each other from dementia. Six months prior to my arrest, I lost my twin brother who suffered from muscular sy when we were 17. This past Saturday, I lost my brother's special needs brother Steve, who was living in the family home in 24 7. Care from the effects of the esophageal cancer and the weakened body. My two other siblings, Scott and Robin, thank you for supporting me, but I'm sorry for the added weight. You've shown me and the care of Steve and caring for me. I'm ashamed of my actions. What have I lost everything that concerns me. It doesn't enter into the picture. The list of things lost in lost pales in comparison to what really matters. It doesn't matter that I've lost my retirement, does matter that. But due to my actions, my former spouse is not able to get her portion. I've lost my house, my career, my life is reduced to what I can put in the five by eight storage here and money I can earn through donating plasma. But and I've lived in my car for months, but it doesn't, that doesn't matter. That's not important. I have seen been allowed to see the world and specifically people, not myself to see people from a different, a more humble and caring perspective. It's part of my rehabilitation. Speaking of which I have, I did immediately jump into therapy and I've had over 100 sessions in the past 14 months. Nothing matters as much as the loss of my immediate, my awesome unappreciated and angel of a wife for 32 years, Kim. She is a phenomenon teacher mentored godly example to her students and her seven sons have lost her respect. Trust. It could be you more beyond my comprehension and hers, my seven sons, they've lost the healthy pride boys should have for their fathers. They were and continue to be mortified how I acted. I tragically hurt their mom. That's just something you don't do. I used to proudly talk of having my quiver being full but now it's completely empty due to my actions. My son is Philip 35 Andrew 31. Daniel 29 Jacob 28 John 26 Caleb 24 and Noah 21. These are all real 10. I have only met one of my two grandchildren who entered this world during the season. That happened just this week. I miss the wedding of one of my sons and no doubt I miss more weddings than multiple births. I have been rightfully restricted from being a part of their incredible careers in the families. They desperately need inner healing or any relationship or potential relationship with me. I apologize to the wives fiance and soon to be fiance as a young woman, it must be hard fathom of a father acting in this manner. April Aaron Maatta, Elena Sophie and Aie. I find it hard to face you, Jeff Salvador. There's nothing more anyone wants to hear from me and I have nothing else to say all I can ask you for your grace and mercy in the sentencing decision. I pray you will impose a fair sentence. Thank you. Thank you. OK. That's all the witnesses we have. I just wanted to point out to the court. There are three of the sons here in the courtroom. Um One of their wives and multiple uh f members from his church community, other family members and friends and family. Uh Mr Clay, all here in support
