The following, puportedly from Morris Dees' divorce papers exposes Dees as a
sex-crazed kook and perhaps even a child molestor!

H. Morris' Sexual Appetite
Maureene was literally force to file suit for divorce in March, 1979, because
of Morris' obstinate refusal to give up his mistress who he was then
supporting and who had become pregnant by him. However, Maureene did not
give up her marriage easily. Prior to Morris' permanent involvement with the
McGaha woman, Maureene had endured a long series of degrading incidents which
evidenced Morris' voracious and eclectic sexual appetite. Since early in
their marriage, Morris repeatedly bragged to Maureene that with his looks and
his money he could have any woman he wanted, and he constantly bragged about
women propositioning him (R. 350, et seq). [Some insight into the size of
Morris' ego is provided by his letter of January 22, 1979, to "Ham" Jordan (a
copy of which he sent to Vicki) in which he makes application to be appointed
Attorney General of the United States to replace Griffin Bell, giving as one
of his principal qualifications the fact that "... all my life, I have been a
winner."] (Pl. Ex. 91). Later in the marriage he repeatedly told her of
women that he had had sexual intercourse with during the marriage (R. 354).
He said further that he enjoyed trying to turn on gay people and he expressed
a desire to have an experience with a gay (R. 354).
Early in the marriage, Morris gave her a book on "Open Marriage" and started
encouraging her to have sexual intercourse with other men (R. 419-420).
During the year or so after they were married, Maureene became aware that her
husband was having an affair with a woman name Becky Logan (R. 458). During
the same period, she began receiving anonymous telephone calls concerning her
husband and a black woman in town (R. 459).
A. Dianne Hicks. In his deposition, Morris admits that in the spring of 1973
(Morris depo. p. 27), or during the summer of 1973 (Morris depo. p. 25), he
had an affair with Dianne Hicks, a Mobile lawyer who was working for the
Southern Poverty Law Center (Morris depo. p. 25). He had sex with her during
a canoe trip down the Tallapoosa River (Morris depo. p.25), and also in
Brewton where they were working together on a trial (Morris depo. p. 26-27).
B. Cathy Bennett. In the fall of 1974, Morris brought to the family home in
Mathews a girl named Cathy Bennett who was a psychologist who had worked with
Morris on several cases (R. 284). She stayed in their home in Mathews for
about a week, during which time they had Bobby Kennedy there as a guest (R.
285). Maureene was suspicious of her husband's relationship with this girl
(R. 286), and later Morris admitted having an affair with her (R. 1325).
Morris told Mrs. Dees that his affair with her was over in December, 1974,
But she later found that he and Cathy continued to conduct an affair in
Atlanta where Morris lived for a period during the Jimmy Carter campaign (R.
287, 291).
C. Judith Rogers. In the fall of 1977 (R. 1344), Morris and Maureene held a
Little Theater party at their home, attended by Dr. Rogers, a Montgomery
physician, and his wife Judith, who is a criminal psychologist (R. 292, 1344,
1345). During the party Morris admits that he took Judith into a back room
of his house, while the party was going on, and had intercourse with her (R.
1344, 293).
D. Deborah Levy. In the spring of 1976, Morris invited to the house Deborah
Levy who worked for the American Civil Liberties Union in New York, and the
man with whom she lived in New York, Michael Gaas (R. 299, 303). The
Southern Poverty Law Center was considering starting a magazine in opposition
to the death penalty, and Morris was interviewing Deborah Levy for the job of
running the magazine (R. 301). She was not hired for the job, but she and
her
boyfriend did visit the Dees home in Mathews for several days on two
different occasions (R. 301). in August, 1976, Morris and Maureene took them
on a canoe trip down the river (R. 202-203). After supper, they had all gone
to bed in sleeping bags, when Maureene woke up and found Morris and Deborah
naked, having sex on the sandbar (R. 306). Morris turned to Maureene and
insisted that she have sex with the other man. (R. 306). Later Maureene went
back to
sleep and woke up shortly before dawn, and found Morris and Deborah having
intercourse again right next to her (R. 307). While having intercourse with
Deborah, Morris leaned over and kissed Maureene (R. 308). The next morning
Maureene objected strongly to the night's events and stated emphatically that
she did not want anything of that nature to happen again (R. 309). The
following month, in September, 1976, she and Morris went to New York for a
tennis tournament and to take one of the children to a special school in
Boston (R. 310). Over Maureene's objections, Morris insisted upon visiting
Deborah Levy and Michael Gaas (R. 310). While the group was having dinner
together in a restaurant Maureene, returning from the rest room, overheard
Morris and Deborah making plans to be together the following afternoon (R.
315). Later when confronted with this Morris admitted having such plans (R.
320). Later in a conversation among the four of them, Morris stopped the
conversation in the middle and said to Michael Gaas "I've just got to tell
you this because I feel bad about it. I want to tell you that Deborah and I
were planning to go off this afternoon and make love and I just want to tell
you that." (R. 322). This embarrassed Maureene and made her furious (R.
324). Gaas responded that if that's what Morris was here to do he should
just get up and go do it, following which Morris and Deborah got up and went
into the bedroom where they remained for about forty-five minutes (R. 325, et
seq). While they were gone Maureene had sexual intercourse with Michael (R.
326). Afterward Morris left the apartment, returned in about thirty minutes
and hit Michael in the face (R. 327).
E. Pamela Horowitz. In the spring of 1977 Morris planned a trip to Kentucky
and invited Maureene to go with him, knowing that she could not go because
she was in rehearsal for a play (R. 330). Over Maureene's objection, he took
with him, on his motorcycle Pamela Horowitz, a lawyer working for the
Southern Poverty Law Center at that time (R. 331). He drove the motorcycle
and she rode behind him from Montgomery to Kentucky, and they were gone for
four or five days, during which they shared the same hotel accommodations (R.
331-332) F. Charlie Springman (homosexual). On August 11, 1978, Maureene
and Morris' tenth anniversary, they were having dinner at the Watergate Hotel
in Washington, DC, and afterward had drinks in the bar (R. 333, et seq). In
the bar, they saw Charlie Springman, who Maureene knew as a Regional
Coordinator for the National Endowment of the Arts (R. 335). She had told
Morris that Springman was gay, but Morris had never met him. When they saw
him in the bar, Morris suggested inviting him over for a drink (R. 335).
After a while, to Maureene's surprise, Morris suggested that Charlie come up
to the room with them (R. 336). In the room, they drank wine and talked, and
Morris unbuttoned his shirt to the waist (R. 336). Charlie tried to leave
several times but Morris wouldn't let him (R. 337). Finally Morris proposed
that Charlie spend the night with them (R. 337). Mrs. Dees protested, and
put on her robe and nightgown to go to bed (R. 337-338). Soon Charlie and
Morris were in the bed naked, with Maureene in the middle with her gown on
(R. 338-339). Springman and Morris hugged and kissed, and Morris tried to
get Charlie to have relations with Maureene, but Springman was physically
unable to because he was not interested (R. 340). In fact, no one made any
effort to have sex with Mrs. Dees during this incident (R. 341). Springman
kissed Morris' penis, and in fact, Morris complained that he bit him and that
it hurt (R. 340). Morris kissed Springman on Springman's penis (R. 341).
After about thirty minutes they all went to sleep (R. 342). When Maureene
woke up the next morning, Morris was gone (R. 342), but Springman was still
asleep in the bed. After five or ten minutes Morris returned and found
Maureene crying. He apologized for the incident and said that he would not
let anything like that happen again (R. 343). Morris denies parts of this
episode, he admits its essential features: Morris admits that he invited
Springman to the room (R. 1571); that Maureene put on a nightgown and robe
and got into bed (R. 1537); that Morris got into bed with nothing but his
underclothes on (R. 1575); and that Springman got into the bed naked (R.
1590).
G. Morris' Stepdaughter.
Holly Buck, Maureene's daughter by a previous marriage, is eighteen years old
(R. 728). She was seven years old when her mother and Morris married, and
she has lived with them in the house at Mathews from then until the
separation (R. 728). Holly testified that, in the summer of 1977, Morris
attempted to molest her in the following incident (R. 729):
One night Maureene and Morris were sitting drinking wine and discussing a
case Morris was trying. She was with them. Around eleven or twelve o'clock
Maureene went to bed and Holly stayed up with Morris discussing the case.
Morris kept offering Holly wine, some of which she accepted. At Morris'
suggestion, they went outside to the pool, and he suggested that they go for
a swim, but Holly was tired and declined (R. 731). She went to her room and
then went into the bathroom. Looking out the window, she saw Morris in the
bushes beside the bathroom window looking in (R. 731). She said "Morris, is
that you", but he said nothing and ran away (R. 732). Two months later, she
was asleep one night and Morris entered her room from Ellie's room, through
the bathroom. He was in his underwear and he sat on the bed where Holly was
lying on her stomach facing away from the door. He touched her on the back
and woke her up. He told her that he had brought her a present, and he
presented her with a vibrator. He plugged it in and said he had brought it
to her. He proceeded to rub it on her back and said, "Let me show you how to
use it" (R. 733). She said that's not necessary, but he started to place it
between her legs when she raised he voice and said no loudly. He then took
the vibrator and left (R. 734). All he had on was a pair of bikini underwear
shorts (R. 734). About two hours later, she had fallen back asleep and he
came back in (R. 735). He brought the vibrator with him, plugged it in and
said again, "Let me show you how to use it." He tried to show her again by
putting it between her legs, but she raised her voice again and he stopped.
He took it and left (R. 635). She did not tell her mother about this
incident until the separation when they moved out of the Mathews house in the
spring of 1979 (R. 736).
H. Morris' Future Daughter-in-law.
Karen Sherman Dees is Morris' daughter-in-law, who is married to Morris' son
Scooter (Morris, III) (R. 345). Before Karen and Scooter were married, when
they were eighteen or nineteen, which was three or four years ago, an
incident occurred on Mother's Day at the family home in Mathews (R. 345).
The Dees had Karen and Scooter to dinner at the house, and they cooked out
(R. 346). While Scooter and Maureene were cleaning up and washing dishes,
Karen and Morris went out to go swimming (R. 345). Five or ten minutes
later, Maureene and Scooter started down the path toward the pool, with
Maureene in front. As she approached the gate, she could see Morris and
Karen standing with their arms around each other with no clothes on, and
Morris had an erection. Maureene immediately turned and told Scooter that
she did not want to go swimming and the two of them headed back to the
house without Scooter having seen anything (R. 347). Later, Karen and Morris
returned from the pool, fully dressed, and the group stayed in the den for a
little while (R. 349). Morris got up and went to bed, and Maureene joined
him a few minutes later. While lying in the bed, Maureene looked up and saw
that Karen had entered the room (R. 349). She didn't have any clothes on but
had a towel or sheet wrapped around her (R. 350). She came over and got in
the bed on Morris' side (R. 350). Nothing happened, but she remained there
for about ten minutes, and eventually got up and left (R.350-351). Morris
told Maureene that he just couldn't understand why she came in the room (R.
351).
