Call transcript: Caller: “Can you help me?” Counselor: “What’s the problem?” Caller: “I have a problem. I need help because I don’t want to do this anymore.” Counselor: “Do what?” Caller: “Well I guess I can tell you guys, you’re not tracing the call are you?” Counselor: “No, we are not tracing any calls.” Caller: “I am the East Side Rapist and I feel the urge coming to do this again. I don't want to do it, but then I do it. Is there anyone there that can help me? I don't want to hurt these women or their husbands anymore. Are you tracing this call?” Counselor: “We are not tracing this call. Do you want a counsellor?” Caller: “No. I have been to counseling all of my life. I was in Stockton State Hospital. I shouldn't tell you that. I guess I can trust you guys, are you tracing this call?” Counselor: “No, we are not tracing the call" Caller: “I believe you are tracing this call” (hangs up)
