Groping in the Dark

Caffesse says he is "very disappointed" with the outcome of the trial and to direct any other questions to his personal lawyer at Baker & Botts. His attorney did not return calls for comment.

As for Mota, sitting in his lawyer's office in a gray suit, he doesn't like talking about this. He's a private person who doesn't tell many people that he's gay. Thanks to this, his parents now know. His mother cries. The 36-year-old always locks doors and changes clothes in private, and he doesn't trust people anymore, he says.
