She was 10 years old, a fourth-grader in the Northshore School District, when John Carl Leede began fondling her, according to court records.

The letter was on expensive-looking law firm stationery, and John Athan had no reason to doubt its authenticity. So the New Jersey construction worker did what the letter asked: He signed a form agreeing to join a lawsuit in Washington state aimed at recovering overcharges in traffic fines, and he mailed it back in March.
But the law firm was phony, created by police in Athan’s hometown, Seattle. They didn’t want Athan’s signature, they wanted his DNA, the unique genetic code they lifted from the saliva he unwittingly provided by licking the return envelope.
