Inside the Paulding
County Courthouse, a District
Attorney turns up the volume
of a classical composer. Below the music
while seeking the attention of a young woman.
I've also you wanted to see me.
They are Jamie White victims advocate
and her boss DA **** Donovan.
Nearly twice her age, starting in 2017,
White secretly recorded hours of
conversations I would be attempting to
document sexual harassment evidence that
could now put the county's top prosecutor
behind bars very much where that is.
There are sometimes you and I want to
talk about things that probably are not
suitable for the workplace.
This past February,
the Georgia Attorney General and I
did Donovan on multiple felonies,
one of them for false swearing
or lying Underoath in May 2019,
Donovan provided a sworn
affidavit claiming he never told
White he was in love with her,
but listen to what White
recorded months before.
I love you. I will continue to care about
you whether you talk to me or not. I
mean, if you don't want me
to tell you I love you,
I'll stop doing that.
Does that make you uncomfortable?
I just don't think it's right.
Why does I work for you?
I'm married, you're married. It's
despicable, it's disgusting and
we asked Ashley Wilcox for her
legal analysis of the case.
She's a metro Atlanta attorney
and Judge Protem not affiliated
with the case. What a creep.
Who is this guy who says that
to somebody that works for
them? That's creepy.
In this same affidavit,
the District Attorney told
another attorney, Underoath.
I have never suggested we have sex.
I have never offered to have sex with her.
Here's Donovan in his own
words. I said I was in good health.
I'm in perfectly good health.
Everything still works.
I don't mind telling you
everything still works and I'm.
Not out of practice,
I can't think of any experience
I would relish or cherish
morning to Make Love to you.
Oh God gross gross, because
he's absolutely talking about
having sex. In October 2017,
police arrested White for shoplifting
at this Cedar Town Walmart.
According to Donovan, one of her
first calls from jail was to him.
Got a recall? Trying to fix
it idea or like
tell attorney general claims with Donovan.
Tried to fix was her arrest.
According to the indictment,
Donovan attempted to bribe a Cedar
Town prosecutor into dropping whites
shoplifting charge in exchange
for dismissing charges against
one of the prosecutors clients.
Willcott says even if White
didn't ask Donovan to do it,
it could still be considered
bribery because the favor is for
him. Whether it's helping someone else
or not, it's for him. He's the one.
That's getting that currency and the
currency is help this woman out for
me. Donovan and White declined to
be interviewed for this story,
but there's something else in the audio
recordings that's problematic for the DA.
He admits to lying to other employees.
I've not told you,
but not told anybody.
Frankly, I lied. Do not feel
like you have a lot to lose.
But the answer is yes,
and I'm crafty enough to avoid that,
you know, just.
Careful enough to avoid that
I would be Wilcon says that
admission damages the DA as a
prosecutor in the courtroom.
It absolutely throws all credibility
out the window. And how does
that work when it gets to trial?
Who knows what evidence is going
to be hidden or not revealed?
It's a slippery slope.
That's where our system, our justice
system, can breakdown and fail.
You can't lie about things like this
and break laws and get away with it.
