Some sample cross-examination questions for a variety of possible witnesses that have come to mind.
Questions for Erin Ellison
1.did you tell = Why did you tell Dr. Krauss that you did not go fishing? That you did not attempt to contact
parties asking for allegations but only responded to those who contact you?
-contradicted in letter to BuzzFeed from Jan 2018
2. You indicated Ms. Rad contacted you with video. Can you provide evidence of this?
3. Is it true that if complainant refuses to talk to you that you do not consider the complaint substantiated.
Several examples where no information could be obtained are dismissed. Is it not the case that Ms. Rad
refused to talk to you? Why did you not dismiss this complaint?
4. are you aware that Ms. Rad have a financial incentive to create false testimony?
5. Did she say she was motivated to make her video because she was upset that Dr. Krauss did not admit to
other instances reported in BuzzFeed, as she claims to have known some of the alleged victims?
6. Did Ms. Rad therefore have additional motivation for creating false testimony?

18. Why did you send only one of the two photographs regarding the photobombing selfie to Dr. Krauss when
asking him about it? Were you trying to set him up or induce a lie? Were you expecting him to lie?
19. Did you ask Dr. Moon when Lucy Hawking was hired, and whether she was involved in assisting that?
Did you ask her the timeframe associated with that compared to the timeframe during which she remembered a
conversation with Lucy Hawking? Did you ask her whether she was working for ASU when the alleged
conversation took place?
20. did you ell Amelia Huggins when you called her back in for a second interview that she would be the

31. Given that in almost every case where Dr. Krauss denied a claim and an accuser made a claim, you decided
it was more likely than not that the claim was valid, including claims by accusers who had been shown to be
