The series of e-mails made public between Peterson and a woman named Ashley begin in March...with Peterson writing "How much broken glass do I need to crawl through to get a date with you?"
Ashley writes "a date? When and where?"
In April he writes, "Guess who I might get a date with as a publicity stunt? Britney Spears...a night on the town in Chicago."
