Few family court litigants will morn the recent death of Lynne Yates Carter, a divorce attorney who reportedly expired  the weekend before Mother's Day during the 2020 global pandemic and financial crisis related to  the COVID-19..  Her death is shining a new light on family court corruption that has plagued California for decades. 

Of all California's divorce cases conducted over the past twenty years, what Lynne Yates Carter and Tracy Duell - Cazes did to Kathey Fyke,  the former wife of attorney Richard Falcone, ranks as one among the most corrupt and inhumane.  Lynne Yates Carter was never held responsible for what she did to Ms. Fyke and her little boy. during a 13- year divorce case. We hope Ms. Fyke and her son find some peace in knowing Ms. Yates - Carter was ultimately disbarred just months before she died. If there is a special section in hell for divorce lawyers, Ms. Yates- Carter is certainly there, holding a place for the others who are likely to follow.  



On  April 28, 2017,  three years before her death, Lynn Yates-Carter  taught lawyers at the Santa Clara County Bar Association  how to earn more in fee awards from local divorce cases. She taught the course with Judge James Towery and Judge Mary Greenwood along with Tracy Duell- Cazes, her associate in the infamous Falcone v. Fyke case, a case that weaponized the vexatious litigant laws and  allowed lawyers to steal millions from community property estates in the form of fee awards while covering up domestic violence, child abuse and horrific crimes former spouses attempt to vet during a public divorce case.  

Over the 20 years since Yates- Carter and Duell-Cazes acted in that case, the two are responsible for significant contributions to what has become a criminal enterprise consisting of individuals acting as lawyers, private judges, cops , court reporters and custody evaluators stealing  the assets  and home equity of innocent families during California divorce and custody cases. 

It is well established that as part of their racketeering activities,  these lawyers worked with Sheila Pott, a loan employee working for Washington Mutual during the 2008 banking scandal that assured kickbacks to judges and private owned businesses who are part of a criminal enterprise operating in the courts. .  

Evaluating Undisclosed Attorney Social and Professional Relationships

The Falcone v. Fkye case became the flagship case for divorce lawyers and family court judges across California as it gave reason to drag divorce cases  cases out where lawyers and court appointed experts could earn more in attorney fees abusing the opposing side through acts of showmanship that had little to do with the Rule of Law. Further, the  case allowed lawyers to conceal the criminality and domestic violence patterns  of their high profile clients, the worst of whom were lawyers such as Richard Falcone and later Brad  Newman. For the right price, divorce clients could pay the lawyers to commit unspeakable crimes with immunity where their criminality was deflected by inciting conflict and attacking the credibility of a former spouse as the enterprise stole the assets at the center of the disputes.  

As early as 2002, when Kathey Fyke's divorce case began, her neighbor, Judge William Danser was  indicted for rigging the local traffic courts, His wife, Catherine Gallagher, continued the practice in the county's family courts,  with impunity,  where she was protected by the  local DA, Jeff Rosen.  In the years that followed this case, the lawyers honed   their  skills and mastered their  cronyism by getting lawyers appointed to act as fake judges or sham minor's counsel to generate more in fees for the enterprise.  

During her divorce case,   Ms. Fyke was forced to represent herself.  She  unable to get protection from an abusive husband. Instead,  she was criminally prosecuted by the local DA, Jeff Rosen, for taking $1 dollar out of an account frozen by a private judge as her former husband and Ms. Yates Carter worked to earn millions  for the benefit of the criminal enterprise who supported the DA's political campaigns.  



                                                       DISBARED  AND DISGRACED 
 
While complaints against Lynne Yates-Carter and other lawyers in Santa Clara County had been filed with the state bar for decades, it was not until nearly 20 years later that  Yates - Carter's  would finally be addressed by the bar. . Insiders report Yates- Carter,  and other corrupt family law attorneys.  were able to operate with impunity because of their relationship with James Towery, former s Chief Trial Counsel at the bar , where he knew of the criminality of these lawyers, and where he acted to protect them along with the local DA. 


​COVID-19 DRAINS FAMLIY COURT SWAMP

A persistent coronavirus is locking down county buildings and courthouses and the criminality of the lawyers and judges operating in those public forums are  finally being exposed. From lawyers acting for children as minor's counsel padding their bills, to lawyers getting appointed as private judges, these crooked lawyers have been halted by shuttered courthouses and an inability to access the judges who keep their criminal enterprise running. 

​Lynne Yates Carter and her corrupt associate,  Tracy Duell Cazes.  wrote the playbook on these  corrupt practices and now technology used for COVID-19 contract tracing is being  used to expose the enterprise that Yates Carter helped create nearly 20 years ago, While most believe Falcone v. Fyke is the case that allows lawyers to declare a self- represented spouse to be a vexatious litigant, it is really the case that shows how Santa Clara County led the way in covering up how the lawyers are privatizing the courts and abusing children for profit. 

Contact tracing related  to Lynne's death has turned up far more than coronavirus super spreaders.. Emergency orders in the county  have closed the courts have prevented lawyers from  holding secret meetings that historically  provided an important tool for the  corrupt lawyers using the public courthouse to engage in their crimes.  This conduct has now drawn the   attention of federal investigators who  are looking into  family court cases where Yates Cater and her associates,  including Tracy Duell Cazes and Kathryn Schlepphorst,  appear to be at the center of the scandal based on their relationship with the local DA and Judge James Towery who has been issuing midnight orders to cover up human trafficking and corruption that would otherwise be exposed in the   county's criminal  and family courts. 

In what appears to be a deathbed confession, Yates Carter revealed more details about the two decades of corruption that has plagued this single county. . Once she was disbarred,  Lynne Yates Carter reportedly warned, Nicole Ford,   Elise Mitchell and Sharon Roper that the COVID-19 crisis could significantly impact the enterprise as  real property equity in the area dries up and court business  essentially grinds to a  halt. Further, Shelia Pott , a loan manager, recently lost an important appeal and is worried the loans she wrote for area lawyers and judges as kickbacks for favorable rulings in her own divorce case are now on the  radar of federal investigators at the DOJ. 

But Yates - Cater also exposed Jason Pintar  for his role in the darkest part of the  enterprise after  it was revealed  Pintar was involved in with Constance Carpenter, Nat Hales, Richard Roggia , Laura Perry, Catherine Gallagher  and Annie Fortino in cases related to   sex trafficking rings  before Judge Mary Ann  Grilli in 2014 and Judge Towery in 2017. Pintar appears to have  teamed up with Laura Perry and Annie Fortino to cover up crimes in the southern part of the county where high paying clients  have connections to the Gilroy Police ,  local politicians and farmers capable of  trafficking  laborers from Mexico through Yuma Arizona to feed workers to  California's farming communities. 

In the San Jose area,  Yates- Carter confessed that cases involving Catherine Bechtel, David Patton, Walter Hammon , James McManis , Jim Hoover, Travis Krepelka, Julia McDowell, Irwin Joseph  and Michael Smith have assisted in covering up  money laundering and real estate fraud in probate matters including a case where Micheal Smith acted as a private judge for the benefit of David Patton's client who reportedly stole over $300,,000 in gold coins and cash to pay the enterprise in her divorce case that was before a private judge. 

 Twenty years ago, attorney Ed Mills  was  appointed in the Falcone v, Fyke divorce case , he never followed the law to get jurisdiction over that case, but he had no problem getting Ms. Fyke criminally prosecuted to shut her up. Ed Mills continues today to act in private judge cases where he too can earn upwards of $5 million a year in fees for his bogus services. .  

A whistleblower who contacted this website noted that family law attorneys are worried COVID-19 will expose mass corruption in the family courts as information about these criminals who have been destroying families and children for at least 30 years is leaking out on social media. A court staffer has reported the corruption connects to the Santa Clara County Department of Child Support and Social Services in a manner that is bringing in the federal government including FBI agents from out of the area as local agents have been tainted by the corruption in the county that has been fuled by Silicon Valley's wealth , power and influence. 

For the past five years this website has been run by an all volunteer team trying to bring attention to California's family courts. Each month thousands of reporters, lawyers and divorcing spouses have come to this site trying to understand what has been happening in divorce courts across the country. 
 
Major news outlets regularly refuse to cover family court, but reporters including reporters from NPR, Center of Investigative Reporting, ABC, NBC and the San Francisco Chronicle have been reading this website for years. But few ever actually report what is happening inside these courtrooms. 

Covid-19 and the related global pandemic and economic crisis have created a crisis in homes in every neighborhood across the globe. Now family matters will be handled differently. 

For the past 30 years, lawyers and judges have acted to corrupt our courts. Lawyers in family court can appear before the same judge so often, it is impossible to not be corrupt. However, now that courthouses are closed, and law enforcement agencies appear ill- prepared to handle domestic violence. Divorcing children and their children are looking to websites such as these to navigate their deeply  emotional and financial matters. 

We are now going to use this platform to teach children about our family courts and the players behind them. If we can't explain family court to a 5th grader sheltering in place in the middle of Silicon Valley, then we have failed. 

​In the spirit of  Judy Blume's  best selling coming of age novel, Are you There God? , It's me Margret, we are pleased to bring you this important information. The stories contained herein come directly from the Santa Clara, Monterey, Sacramento, and Contra Costa Family Court Files dating back to 1970.  

Warning: If you are an attorney, judge, lawyer, custody evaluator, court transcriptionist, baiiff or court staff member who did harm to families and children before this global pandemic, we are going to expose you here on this website in order to protect families and our legal system in the future. 

Marriages are different all over the world. Some people get married in the churches they have belonged to all of their lives, and some get married in a courthouse. Marriage is deeply personal and involves the culture, history and family of parents that happened long before they have a child. 

In California 40% of children have parents who never get  married. This can be for several reasons., In a global pandemic it can mean parents couldn't get married because churches and courthouses were closed! Whatever the reason,  children of unwed parents are treated differently in California's family courts. 

In California a mother presently have the full right to determine how her child's birth certificate will be written and this can matter most if parents get into fights. A mother who is abused or hurt by her child's father might decide not to put that father's name on the birth certificate. If a father doesn't know about his baby before it turns 2, California law says he is not the real dad. 

If the dad is on the birth certificate, he may never know he has children.  This is not much different than what we have seen during times of war. For soldiers assigned to Japan, Vietnam and Iraq, they have sometimes learned that they had babies they never knew about until those children were grown. 

Perhaps the best way to explain this best is to tell you the story about a little girl named Audrie. 

​

Most little girls are given the last name of their father. When Audrie was born  on May 23, 1997 her mother decided to put a man, Larry Pott,  on Audrie's birth certificate and Audrie went home to live with her mother, and Larry. 

A few months later, Audrie's mother decided to take Audrie to live with her real father, Michael Lazarin. As Audrie grew, her father surrounded her with love. He played with her, and cared for her while Sheila was at work. Her grandparents were sad they had missed their granddaughter being born, but they loved her so much, they forgot they had missed any time with her. Audrie loved them too. She loved visiting Arizona and eating food that was different than the food her mom made. When they went on trips, her grandma and grandpa loved to come too. 

Audrie's mom worked a lot. She had fancy clothes and shoes and loved to go shopping. Sheila Pott was very important at work. She made lots of money and had lots of houses. Audrie liked the house her dad had best, and that was near the Rose Garden in San Jose, California. In the Rose garden her dad played with her and gave her all of his attention. Her mom was so busy with her important work, but her dad  made up for it and was always there. He made her laugh, and she made him laugh too. She remembered her dad always watching over her. Always smiling and always happy. The sounds in Aurie's house were always happy. Her mom was always working. Aurie's mom was always shopping. She was always busy, 
​

Aurdrie loved that she looked like her dad. She could see his soul smiling back at her each time she looked in his eyes. She could feel his love always staring back at her. Everything she did with her dad felt happy, safe and comfortable. 

When Audrie was 7, she and her dad were decorating the Christmas tree. The lights sparkled the way  her dad's eyes did when he looked at her. Each ornament carried a special memory and was carefully placed on the tree. Audrie knew their were presents and she couldn't wait for Santa to come. She and her papa laughed and sang songs as they hung each ornament to make the most beautiful tree Audrie would ever see. 
Before they were done Audrie's mom came home. She was with another man and wanted to talk to her papa alone. After the talk Audrie had to go with the man and her mom. They drove to their other house and as they did, colorful lights dotted every house. Audrie missed her dad. " Is Papa coming in a different car? , she asked her mom. 
" No" said Shelia. " 
Audrie's room felt cold that night. She missed her Papa's eyes. Her mom came in before sh fell asleep, but not to read Audrie a story as Papa would do, no Audrie's mom came in and told Audrie that her Papa was not her real dad and she would not be going home. 

Audrie screamed and cried for her Papa. but he did not come.  In the morning, Audrie's mom told her that her grandparents weren't her real parents. In the morning Audrie's mom went to work and Audrie went to school. All day Audrie thought about her Papa. She knew he would pick her up at the end of the day. But he never did. 

​For people who have lost their homes and their children due to a California divorce or custody case in the past two decades, it might not come as a surprise that a federal investigation into a college cheating scandal that snapped up power couples including Elizabeth and Manuel Henriquez of Atherton, CA  as well as  celebrity moms Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman is now connected to real estate scams and criminal lawyers operating in the state's family courts. it is also connected to one grand jury investigation of Contra Costa County Assessor Gus Kramer, and here is how courts are covering up what they are doing in California when it comes to family homes.. . . . . . . 





​

​

After accepting plea deals,  the Henriquezs are rumored to be consulting with divorce attorneys at McManis Faulkner and Hoover Krepelka Law Firms. The cheating scandal is rumored to be a " boom for Silicon Valley divorce lawyers".  Sources report Silicon Valley divorce attorneys have been overheard  discussing new potential clients flooding into their offices and how these lawyers are planning on ratcheting up overbilling and deceptive business practices that will include: duping clients into private judging cases and kissing up to get court appointments as minor's counsel and custody evaluators in divorce or custody cases. 

REAL ESTATE SCAM EXPOSED: Contra Costa County Assessor Gus Kramer Indicted Exposes DA Office and Supervisor Corruption 

While seemingly unrelated, the indictment and disbarment of Contra Costa County DA Mark Peterson appears to have unraveled systemic corruption in California's  courts and politics that reveals  systemic failures that have harmed families and two generations of children. 

A former Contra Costa County Grand Jury involved in a CPS investigation, provided an off record account of how a grand jury investigation linked public corruption in Solano, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Orange County to lawyer- doctor and former Contra Costa Supervisor Jeff Smith, who is now the county executive in Santa Clara County: 

May 2018- Grand Jurors were first alerted to problems when parents marched on the streets of the sleepy Bay Area bedroom community of Walnut Creek. No arrests were made , but over 500 parents picketed, marched and protested from a community park to the steps of a courthouse where they claimed corrupt CPS workers and three female judges were involved in trafficking children after  their  parents were forced through a corrupt court system. Judges at the focus of the march were Fannin, Hardie and Haight . 


Summer 2018- Judge Bruce Mills,  reportedly been on the take for bribes delivered in  the form of real estate deals and cash kickbacks assured by nefarious slumlord   John Evilsizor , resigned  from the Contra Costa bench after the CJP closed in on Mills in a 5th investigation related to the improper jailing of Evilsizor's former son- in-law in a custody case Mills presided over for several years. 

This was also the time when parents returned to Contra Costa and marched on the streets of Martinez, through the downtown ,  civic center, the steps of the courthouse and where they pounded on the doors of the District Attorney's Office, despite DA Mark Peterson having been indicted, disgraced and disbarred  a year earlier. 

September 2018- it was revealed that DA Mark Peterson had been working to catch and kill complaints about county assessor Gus Kramer, a corrupt politician who  reportedly turned a blind eye when it came to real estate complaints arising from the county's family court cases. 

February 2019- Parents had garnered enough support to get the recall of Judges Hardie, Fannin and Haight  on the local ballot, but an attack and complaint filed to the FPPC  by a judge lobbyist derailed the plan. The lobbyist reportedly focused on the Contra Costa group because of the wide spread media attention the group got, and following the landslide vote in Santa Clara County, that had recalled Judge Persky on June 5, 2018, after a successful political campaign was led by Stanford professor Michele Dauber. 

                                    HOW THEY GET THE FAMILY HOME 

Converting home equity into cash for attorney fees in divorce cases was something that had been mastered in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, but Contra Costa was late to the Silicon Valley home equity party, given its more remote location and longer commute to the Google, Facebook and other tech giant campuses. 

As parents picketed and protested in Contra Costa, they fought judicially corrupt family courts in Solano County by launching a recall of Judge Carringer in 2017, which did not go to vote, and which was turned into an impeachment request to the State Assembly in April of 2018. 

It was in Santa Clara County, where Jeff Smith hung his new employment shingle, that Stanford University Law Professor Michele Dauber launched a successful political campaign to recall Judge Aaron Persky. It is said that from 2016- 2018 Dauber had the help and assistance of DA Jeff Rosen, DDA Terry Harman. Alaleh Kianerci, Cindy Hendrickson and Luis Ramos, but she also had the help of executives at Google, Facebook and Twitter based on connections her husband Ken Dauber had as a Google executive serving on as a Board Member on the  Palo Alto School District. It is also believed that Dauber had assistance from the Supervisors, Cindy Chavez, Joe Smitian, Ken Yeager, Dave Cortese and Mike Wasserman, who allowed DA Rosen to let angry #metoo mobs drown out parents seeking to bring attention to the county's unscrupulous judges including Judge Maureen Folan,  Judge Vincent Chiarello, Judge James Towery, Judge Mary Ann Grilli, Judge Julie Emede, Judge Roberta Hyashi, Judge Beth McGowan, Judge McCracken, Judge Cynthia Lie,  and Judge Stuart Scott. 

By early 2017, court clerk David Yamasaki had moved from Santa Clara's courts, to Orange County, where he was reportedly working to cover up construction fraud and family court fraud arising from the county's private judging cases before retired Judge David Weinberg, Judge Moss, Judge Larsh  and Judges employed through JAMS . No recalls had occurred in Orange County however former DA Tony Rackauckas was ousted by voters who put Todd Spitzer in the DA's office as voters demanded Spitizer begin looking at the county's family courts and real estate scandals rising from the family courts. 

                   Grand Juror Leaks Investigation Techniques

" We interviewed the parents and protest organizers" , explained the former Contra Costa Grand Juror, " That led us to issue the CPS report by the summer of 2019" 
A copy of the report can be seen at this link. 

"Simultaneously  we looked at the county assessor where these corrupt real estate deals appeared to be being concealed and protected. We knew Gus Kramer had an alliance with the former DA Mark Peterson, and once Peterson was disbarred and indicted, Kramer had no more shield, so we nailed him."​

As to the systemic corruption, the former Grand Juror had this to say: 

" Look we know it is bad, but we are not the worst. The worst corruption is coming from Santa Clara and Orange Counties. The State Bar, and all of the watchdogs charged with protecting the public are afraid to touch those counties, after all, they have planted Google. Facebook and Twitter investors, founders and shareholders in their courts, contracts and Supervisor's pockets.

"It was an interview we did with a former hospital employee who was familiar with Jeff Smith that made us realize how dangerous Santa Clara County has become and we just couldn't go there". 

Mitchell Papers:  Real Estate Corruption Linked to  Family Court Lawyers and Judges

Before ending the interview, the former Grand Juror noted they had reviewed what are being called the Mitchell Papers. The papers show cash payments made to cops, judges and lawyers like something out of a Chicago mobster movie. The local bar association appears to be the shell organization feeding the enterprise where billions, NOT millions, of dollars are being converted in family law cases to pay lawyers who are paying off judges, private judges and other lawyers by paying down home equity lines of credit on the homes, rental properties and vacation homes of those operating what is clearly a criminal enterprise.  

For example, the county assessor in Santa Clara, Larry Stone,  is known for his flagrant extra marital affairs, yet the grand jury,  DA and Supervisors have left Larry Stone alone. Stone, who started out in small level government in Sunnyvale, became obsessed with power and connections to the Democratic party in the county. A party that essentially runs the state.  Stone also continued to flaunt his extra martial relationships which have been actively concealed from his wife by Walter Hammon's wife, Meri Maben, and newly elected Supervisor Susan Ellenberg. 

Stone, who is nearly 80, had a home nearly paid off, but now carries a $600K loan. It is rumored that Jeff Smith's right hand man, Steve Preminger, assures these loans are paid off with deferred payments when nobody is watching, and it is divorce attorney Walter Hammon who is brining in divorce clients high level Silicon Valley connections at YouTube, Paypal, Facebook, Google Twitter , Nvidia and even the Department of Justice that makes sure this enterprise remains in tact and meeting bribe and payment obligations. 

Steve Preminger, Jeff Smith's top aide,  was recently reported as working with tech and social media executives  to assure Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese could knock out his political opponents by shadow banning social media accounts and burying political adversaries or court reform candidates in search engines powered by Google. 

In closing, the grand juror noted: 

"All local governments have the potential to be corrupted. When the grand jury doesn't look, the DA's don't indict and the Supervisors or city managers are complicit, the courts will be corrupted and people will rise up and march in the streets as they did in our sleepy little town of Walnut Creek. We tried to do something about it, I hope it wasn't too little , or too late."

Setting up the Local Sheriff:  As the Santa Clara County DA  aggressively prosecuted Brock Turner, Rosen let other criminals pour into the street or hide in plain sight.

As Rosen claimed the local Sheriff had failed to properly serve 49er football players with restraining orders so they could be prosecuted for violating restraining orders, family court judges selectively allowed the prosecution of domestic violence cases in family court depending on the private lawyers involved. Simply stated the folks with the money to pay the most corrupt lawyers could prosecute their former spouses for domestic violence. As Mr. Rosen looked the other way, these lawyers began to increase private lawyer profits by hundreds of millions of dollars a year. 

This also created a boon for criminal defense lawyers in the area who would be willing to throw cases in criminal court in return for getting paid to defend spouses in family court where they earn 20 times more than they earn in a criminal defense case. 

In family court arrests are not needed because one parent prosecutes the other if they can pay a family lawyer to help them. Criminal defense lawyers in Santa Clara County in on the scheme appear to be Alan Nudelman, Tom Nolan, Dmitry Stadlin, Dan Jensen and Allen Ruby.  The price for Mr. Ruby's services will cost a family law litigant $1250 an hour, a price Mr. Rosen is all to happy to make sure folks have to pay. 

 Josh Bentley contributes to Jeff Rosen's political campaigns and pays for golfing and dining out to assure Mr. Rosen and his staff don't bring messy little DV or sexual assault charges against members of the NFLs 49er organization.  

​ As early as June 2016, whistleblowers at Google, Facebook  and Twitter alleged Stanford University professor Michele Dauber and her husband Ken Dauber were experimenting with social media manipulation. Using tech and  mainstream media contacts,  the Daubers reportedly rode the #metoo momentum that ignited after  Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election. 

Jeff Rosen climbed onto the Dauber train knowing having the powerful allies would protect his 2018 campaign. 

Dauber set her sights on Judge Persky to demonstrate her power. She met with people who begged Dauber to include judge Chairello in her battle. Dauber would not be distracted from her goal, 

Judge Towery was brought to Dauber's attention, and still the Dauber machine was laser focused on inflaming voters over one case and one judge. 

Dauber's scheme included finding the perfect case and the perfect victim.  A book deal and a slot on 60 Minuets for  the victim from the Brock Turner sexual assault case where Chanel Miller revealed herself during a 2019 publicity stunt in advance of the release of her new book; Know my Name. 

Dauber's collusion with Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen and the  inner circle in the DA's office, including;  Terry Harman, Luis Ramos and Cindy Hendrickson began in the summer of 2016, just one year after Brock Turner's arrest.  

Public records show Rosen allowed thousands of hours of staff time to help Dauber get facts to defend her mission. Emails, seminars and rallies incited women who had been victimized by sexual assault at anytime in their lives. Michele Dauber was using the press and the local prosecutors to incite hate through intense and pent up emotion. 

Local voters and taxpayers  duped by Michele Dauber and the engineered story of Emily Doe, Recalled Judge Aaron Persky on June 5, 2019 . On that day every criminal defense attorney and every person ever screwed over in court focused their anger on Persky, who had started his career in Santa Clara County's family court where he was known to not be as corrupt as others, but where he used his power to jail spouses and fail to follow most family law, but where he never was known to sanction lawyers or report them to the state bar. 





​

​







Did Dauber Cheat Silicon Valley Taxpayers and real victims of the county's family courts? 

By 2016 Mr. Rosen had full supervision of the county's Victim Witness Services where he excluded victims of domestic violence who presented their cases in family court and through local non-profit agencies who received funding from the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. Whistleblowers inside those agencies reported family court judges including James Towery, Vincent Chiarello, Mary Ann Grilli, Mary Arand, Patricia Lucas,  Margret Folan, Commissioner Irwin Joseph and Drew Takaichi were some of the most corrupt and evil judges  in the state. 


As Rosen released rapists in the streets, offered plea deals to illegal immigrants capable of murder, he focused the full weight of his office on Brock Turner and the anger he saw directed toward white men as Donald Trump became President at the end of 2016. 

Getting voters to hate white men and women like Laurie Smith, could only be done if Rosen worked with Dauber to secure his own political future. So , with an eye to the 2018 election Dauber and Rosen colluded to rig Silicon Valley's most important local elections. 




​

As mainstream media insisted the Emily Doe letter was written by the victim in the Brock Turner case, emails produced to local reporters in March of 2019 show a different story. The emails were circulated to  academics and journalists who are reviewing the emails. The  Attorney General and the Department of Justice are also involved investigating Dauber and Rosen for election fraud,  and improper governmental activity  after it appeared Dauber was using her position on the Stanford University campus to cover up sexual abuse cases with the help of former prosecutor Deborah Medved, as the mainstream media was diverted with Dauber's efforts on Persky. 

After leaving the Santa Clara County DA's office Medved landed in family court where kickbacks for her loyalty come in the form of court appointments and fee orders. 

Medved, along with the help of Cindy Hendrickson, assured Alaleh Kianerci not only a win in the Brock Turner sexual assault case, but a chance to become California Attorney General. The scheme became most visible  on September 22, 2019 when Alaleh Kianerci  appeared on 60- minuets as a champion for sexual assault victims everywhere. 

​

As Chanel Miller , AKA Emily Doe,  appeared on 60 Minuets, Rosen reportedly told his wife, a family court judge, that his plan was almost complete. DDA Alaleh Kianerci is now posed to overtake the AG position  in the next election and Rosen's snitches and moles are moving in to take out Sheriff Laurie Smith, the only other woman who poses a threat to Rosen's future political career. 

​

On September 24, 2019, Court Watchers in the Santa Clara County Superior Court overheard government lawyers discussing how to protect a criminal enterprise operating out of family courts in Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Orange County. A rape case, a family court case before Judge Cindy Hendrickson and a freelance reporter threatened to expose the enterprise that had safely operated in the county for the past 20 years. County lawyer Michael Rossi was overheard calling private lawyers to alert them to the problems after Rossi photographed and recorded a meeting his colleague, Ward Penfold, during a mediation in a public court hallway. A copy of illegal photos and other communications were found by investigators that same day from the offices of Sean Onderick, Jason Pintar, Heather Allan, Annie Fortino, Jim Hoover, Sharon Roper, Travis Krepelka, Richard Roggia, Bill Dok, Valerie Houghton, Elise Mitchell  and Jason Pintar. These documents reveal how family court lawyers and judges are operating to assist Jeff Rosen with his domestic violence conviction stats by secreting real domestic violence cases in the family court where victims must pay or lose the right to protection. 

Pintar has been reported for placing victims in the county's highest profile divorce cases in private judging where the victims report unconscionable duress and financial harm. 

In her interview on 60 minuets, Chanel Miller described on day in court facing her abuser. That emotional distress doesn't come close to the duress family court judges impose on victims of domestic violence who must endure facing their abusers for decades in the family courts where private lawyers burn through millions of dollars in a family court case.

​Los Gatos, CA - Shortly after being spotted at a popular weekly summer music series in downtown Los Gatos, a local publisher and investigative reporter investigating  California's family courts and the Santa Clara County DA's office for sex trafficking crimes suffered a brutal beating following an office break-in reportedly arranged by Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen  and private divorce attorneys  Walter Hammon and Bradford Baugh. The hit and subsequent office break-in was reportedly executed by Los Gatos police officer Silvia, who resigned two days earlier  after public outrage over his 2016 misconduct.  

Reporters following leads generated by California's new police records law, SB1421 , are at great risk as local law enforcement agencies , courts, judges and lawyers try to stave off public outrage over conduct that has been concealed from the public for decades. 

County assessor Larry Stone and government lawyers including DA Jeff Rosen, County Counsel Michael Rossi, James Williams and Ward Penfold are linked to the attack in the Mitchell papers that reveal a sex trafficking enterprise operating in California's family courts.

Whistleblowers inside the DA's office note reporters getting police misconduct  records are making the leap to the DA's office, where years of failing to protect families involved in the local courts has reached a tipping point. 

A new technique designed to thwart media investigations of the courts and DA's office is the frivolous filing of DVROs and civil harassment requests. The day prior to the violent beating on a reporter and theft of unpublished journalist work, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen filed a false declaration in support of his employees to keep reporters at Bay. 

Ironically, the day before Rosen's declaration was filed, the ex wife of former prosecutor Alan Nudelman filed a request for a permanent CLETS restraining order that protected her and her reporter tenant  from local activist and family court protestor Scott Largent. 

Largent has violated that order on five occasions, less than a month since the CLETS order was filed, ramping up his threats in person and online, 


 Well Known Court Protestor Scott Largent: Snitch for DA Jeff Rosen ? 

Disgruntled that he failed to make income from YouTube, Largent has been repeatedly violating a CLETS order after a reporter discovered he had been acting as a snitch for the District Attorney for over a year. Largent allegedly made thousands of illegal recordings and took photos of victims that he passed off to a corrupt DA in return for special favors. These favors included kickbacks for spying on  local parents protesting the family courts.  Insiders note county executive Jeff Smith,  county counsel James Williams and long time Democratic Party leader Steve Preminger promised Largent a motorhome, dental work and immunity for testimony against the reporter and other activists.  

Largent has been reported for stealing unpublished journalistic work for his personal benefit and is now being investigated by the FBI and DOJ after the Santa Clara County DA came on the federal agent radar for crimes connected with the former DAs in Contra Costa and Orange County. 

                                                   Office Break- In 

Largent, who is believed to be violent and mentally unstable, has been video recording and photographing victims of police brutality and family courts. He also reportedly copied and stole paperwork and evidence that was critical to an investigation of several police officers from the San Jose Police that was provided by a Whistleblower known as Debbie the Dispatcher.  Now retired, Debbie is known to have been on duty during the 2014 and 2015 domestic violence issues involving several former 49ers who were protected by divorce attorneys Nicole Ford, Elise Mitchell, Hector Moreno, Jessica Huey, Heather Allan, Walter Hammon, Dennis Luca,  and Mark Erickson. 

       Rosen and Larry Stone Link to Tech and Real Estate corruption in Silicon Valley 

Just before the newsroom break in, a number of records requests were produced by the county related to county assessor Larry Stone and DA Jeff Rosen, The records show vast waste of taxpayer dollars , a money laundering enterprise, and sex trafficking connected not only to the 49er's but across the Bay to the A's and Raiders through the Richmond cops. 

Also stolen were edited objections made by Stanford Law professors who are planning to teach special courses this fall on prosecutorial misconduct in response to the outrage over Rosen's declaration that severed to mislead a judge and act as a prior restraint on speech. 


                       California District Attorneys are Worried About Protestors

One year after ruckus protests in Contra Costa county that caught the attention of mainstream media and the local grand jury, judges, and DA's are worried about summer protests announced on social media that are expected at California's State Bar locations in Los Angeles  and San Francisco later this month. 

Protestors will demand greater accountability for lawyers and judges. Insisting that prosecuting perjury in the state's family courts be mandatory. The protests are expected to demand greater public protections. Parents are also demanding judges be held accountable when they drag out divorce cases simply to make lawyers more money, harming innocent children in the process. 

Few judges are enforcing court orders for child support or custody, and parents are fed up. 

Misuse of the Domestic Violence is also on the radar. Students working as interns in California's courts this summer have been appalled at the ludicrous  claims of violence that are simply not believed, but rubberstamped by corrupt judges. 

" We pay millions for orders that are just a joke. No police officer enforces these orders and our children are suffering as a result. It is taking all family money and it is a criminal enterprise working for tech companies and big real estate firms." claimed divorce mother Tanya R. of Sunnyvale, California. 

" DV is the new DUI for Silicon Valley, your spouse lies, and you pay $50- 100,000 just to defend those claims. Calling someone an asshole can get you nailed with a DV, or worse, on the DA's terrorist threat list to bring you into the criminal courts,"  claimed  C. Graves of San Martin, California.  

" I was married to a San Jose cop. He was horribly abusive and every judge and lawyer in the court protected him. I got nothing from our divorce. Don't think it is any better down here. " Beth G. of Newport Beach,  California 

A former member of the Contra Costa County Grand Jury has leaked information indicating that 2018 parent protests  and new laws  mandating the termination of privately run foster homes resulted in an investigation of staff employed in the county's CPS and family court services.  That investigation found  CPS workers were not following the law when they acted to remove children from their family homes. 

A 2018 recall  that wiped Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky off the bench was threatened by parents in Contra Costa, which caused an immediate investigation of three of the county's judges.

Turns out, parents were right.  The investigation revealed Judge Hardie and Judge Fannin had direct ties to money laundering operations that take children from loving parents and sell those children into sex trafficking rings, while non- profits collect fees for the children placed into foster care. 

" Parents protesting in the streets of the  upscale Walnut Creek community was very embarrassing to local officials and court employees. That protest launched not only a criminal investigation by the FBI. but also the local grand jury."said the former grand juror who asked to speak off the record.  

The juror also expressed frustration over  the lack of media coverage on the topic. " We never saw this coming because mainstream media never covers what is really going on in the county's family courts". he added. 

Judges in the county appeared rattled over the investigation, which is leading to supervised visitation  and reunification camps where judges hold financial interests through their spouses and family members to avoid disclosure. 

Of the $153 million budgeted for foster kids. less than 1 percent was determined to be going to benefit foster youth. Worse were the judges who ignored the law and took children from their parents for no legal reason. 

SANTA CRUZ - Judge Hell

A Santa Cruz mother described the year  a CPS worker took her 2 year old, causing the mother to pay $40,000 she paid to get her child back.  

" The payment felt like a ransom" , explained the young mother, "we had to pay to defend  CPS worker's allegations and we lost two years with our daughter as  result. Nobody was held accountable." 

The Grand Jury didn't investigate the use of supervised visitation, where several judges have a financial interest. Reunification camps and private businesses benefitting from court contracts and judge appointments appear to be connected not only to the financial interests of judges, but to sex trafficking and money laundering operations working in secret in California's family courts. 

​As newly elected district attorney Todd Spitzer investigates family court clerks, custody evaluators and private judges involved in custody and divorce cases in Orange County, California's two most powerful female district attorneys began to look at family court cases that have been ignored by male their male counterparts for decades. 

CONTRA COSTA DA  DIANA BECTON &
IRS INVESTIGATE CPAs USED IN DIVORCE CASES 

Diana Becton became Contra Costa County DA following the exposure of criminal activity involving Mark Peterson. Peterson was indicted, blasted in the news and disbarred by 2017 in large part based on  public outrage that a DA had corrupted the cozy East Bay communities  and allowed family courts to run amok for the past two decades. 

Becton is reportedly mindful that family court reformers have managed to get the Grand Jury to investigate the county's CPS and Family Court Services staff investigated and now Becton has an opportunity to investigate CPAs including Jack Peth, Charles Burak, Sally White, Michael Thompson, James Butera and others who are known for not adding properly when it comes to the fair division of community property in divorce cases.

A small group of accountants have been regularly acting in appointed or retained capacities in family law cases, and many of these CPAs have been cooking the books, concealing corporate profits and helping law enforcement officers, tech executives, and even judges engage in tax fraud and tax evasion for decades.  Criminal IRS investigators are also reportedly conducting an investigation of several CPAs who acted in high profile divorce cases in a manner that concealed income from the government. 

Ms. Becton was recently named to Governor Gavin Newsom's Judicial Selection Committee. It  is reported she is mindful of the public outrage that led to an audit of the CJP, the agency that disciplines the state's judges. Many in California's  court reform movement come from family court experiences and were largely responsible  for getting the audit, and recalling Judge Persky in Santa Clara County in June of 2018. 

ALAMEDA  DA  NANCY E. O' MALLEY ASKED TO INVESTIGATE LAWYER PERJURY

District Attorneys across the state are asked on a daily basis to investigate perjury and filing of false documents in family court cases. 

" We have divorcing couples send  transcripts of their former spouse testifying in family court and ask us to investigate perjury related to that testimony.  Sadly, while the general public may believe perjury is clear cut, it is not. It is very difficult to prove and frankly we don't have near enough  resources to investigate these crimes, " described public corruption investigator John Chase of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office after a perjury charge involving attorney Bradford Baugh was brought to his attention in 2015. 

What Mr. Chase refused to investigate in 2015 has now landed on the desk of Ms. O" Malley where Mr. Baugh appears to have committed perjury in a video deposition conducted by a former client. Mr. Baugh has been appointed to represent children in San Mateo and Santa Clara county divorce and custody cases for over two decades. 

As many lawyers express they aren't worried Ms. O'Malley will actually start prosecuting perjury in family law cases, a few admit that the perjury of divorce attorney Bradford Baugh would be significant given Baugh's involvement  in hundreds of Silicon Valley's high profile cases, including cases before Judge Persky, where Mr. Baugh represented he served in Vietnam. 

One lawyer regularly  appointed to represent children in San Mateo and Alameda County noted he has been aware Mr. Baugh has been court appointed to represent children in addition to typically representing high asset earners in Silicon Valley's tech and social media industries. 

" I thought Baugh served in Vietnam as I heard him discuss it in court before Judges on a regular basis. Pretty sure Judge Persky, Judge Swope , Judge Hill ,and Judge Towery believed he was in the military as well. Certainly doesn't seem that anyone should be appointed to represent children if they spend decades lying about having served in the Vietnam war", the attorney said asking to remain off the record. 

Bill Dok, Baugh's former partner claimed to be embarrassed he had been partners with Baugh when Baugh was lying to the family law community. But Mr. Dok may have more than embarrassment to worry about if Mr. Baugh was earning money that paid law firm expenses as Baugh committed perjury in a deposition with a former client. 

BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN 

In the name of the best interest of children, family court judges have issued orders that have resulted in billions of dollars being spent on lawyers, custody evaluations  and sham therapists. These judges have done little for children and more for a crony network that has highjacked California's legal system. 

Lawyers willing to lie, judges willing to cheat and Rule of Law that has been abandoned in family court has inflicted more harm on children than at any other time in California's history. 

WHAT IF INJUSTICE HITS YOUR HOME? 

Due process is not alive and well in California's Courts. Q has been dedicated to matching families with like issues and regional areas. If you have suffered injustice in California's Family Courts, Email us with your case number, judge, lawyers and experts. Post comments naming the judges and lawyers under anonymous name to prevent retaliation. 

All contacts will be carefully vetted and audited before connected to others. Judges and lawyers have been known to read this website and act in a retaliatory manner when the get caught. 

According to a source connected with  newly elected Orange County DA Todd Spitzer, the FBI has been called in to investigate  several court clerks, judges and divorce attorneys  for obstructing justice in CPS, divorce and custody cases following the transfer of court executive David Yamasaki from Santa Clara County in early 2017. 

Orange County  has been fraught with jailhouse snitches and federal investigations of the county's traffic court cases. Recent emails leaked from the DA's office indicate family courts are being investigated for covering up money laundering, drug enterprises and sex trafficking rings.  The arrest of Epstein on Saturday night appears to have turned DOJ abd FBI attention to sex trafficking rings in California where court executive David Yamasaki in knee deep in trouble. 


RECRUITMENT

Ambulance chasing is to personal injury lawyers as case rigging is to  California's family law attorneys. These lawyers chase divorces involving private businesses with crimes to conceal and family homes with millions of dollars in equity available to convert to attorney's fees and costs in modern divorce cases that are being dragged out 5-10 years in certain parts of the state. 

Divorce can put companies  and shareholders at risk. Inflated expenses, cash funds, and tax evasion secreted away from shareholders can be exposed when an ex spouse's lawyers and accountants dive in to determine the value of community property. 

According to sources involved with the investigation, since 2000 ,  small groups of lawyers have been rigging cases to get before certain elected judges or appointed private judges. 

Emails discovered in a private email account of Mr. Yamasaki and  a Silicon Valley divorce lawyer known as "Black Tulip"  indicate large payments flowing to lawyers, family court services and experts who are handsomely paid for court appointments. 

Cases appear to be  rigged when court clerks assign a case to a judge during an exparte request, or when cases are originally assigned. Clerks investigated during the 2015 traffic case scandal who were not indicted, appear to have moved either to divorce cases, or into private businesses benefiting from the criminal activity.  These individuals troll new divorce filings and in some cases work with lawyers before the case is filed to get it before a corrupt judge. The " clients " have no idea this is occurring such that a disqualifying 170.6 challenge can be lodged. 

SILENCE THE SPOUSE 

A critical component of this enterprise involves the emotional, financial and physical abuse of former spouses who may know too much .  Secret surveillance, personal computer hacking and cell phone Stingrays are regularly  used to discover what a spouse knows. If that spouse is determined to be a threat based on an ability to expose a former spouse's secrets, the enterprise moves in to have reports issued to a judge that  that  claim a former spouse is " crazy" . " abusive " or mentally unfit to parent children, or to remain in the family home. Stripping women in particular of their home and their children is so destabilizing, it changes the game for the enterprise.

Staffers in Family Court Services, or CPS,  appear to issue reports favorable to the enterprise such that the report can be rubberstamped by a judge, which helps the enterprise avoid detection.

Spouses busy fighting move out or supervised visitation orders are too fragile to challenge the financial aspect of a divorce case.  

Before mandatory JCC,  or emergency screening hearings occur, the enterprise has already rigged the outcome of custody decisions  with judges working for the enterprise in return for future employment in private judging, mediation and arbitration once they leave the bench 

 The FBI investigation has focused on Dr. Rebecca Bailey, and her reunification camp following news reports by NBC Bay Area.  Parents scouring the courthouses for other victims of the enterprise have also become investigators best sources, as few DA offices are prepared to properly investigate family courts and related cases. 

SECRET AGREEMENTS- FLEAs (Family Law Elite Attorneys)  

Divorce lawyers calling themselves " Elite" Family Law Attorneys  (FLEAs)  have been known to law enforcement, and the courts since 2000. Little has been done to stop these lawyers, whose work  and misdeeds remain largely underground. 

FLEAs operate regular legal practices in the area of family law, where 80% of cases are quickly resolved or settled. For the other 20% , FLEAs identify a spouse with secrets to hide and focus on destroying the other spouse in a divorce case in order to protect secrets could result in criminal charges. This conduct serves to protect clients who are  vulnerable to a criminal enterprise orchestrated to protect the secrets from the IRS, the DOJ and the FBI. 

Businesses in the  marijuana  industry, transportation, professional sports organizations and tech are the main flow of cash to the FLEAs. Bad cops collecting cash and turning away from drug and sex traffickers act as a freeway for cash payments and bribes to elected politicians, judges and private divorce lawyers. Above board these lawyers are paid with the sale of the family home, or rental properties, but behind the scene far more money is moving in illegal payments. 

Well paid lawyers are loyal and protective of the criminal enterprise. 

In Orange County, as designed first in Santa Clara County, lawyers, minor's counsel and private judges are assuring payments of cash to pay off loans on the properties and investments of the judges whose disclosures are carefully monitored by the press. 

CALIFORNIA'S REAL ESTATE HOLDS THE KEY

Divorcing spouses are often surprised to learn a former spouse is willing to sell real estate to pay legal costs in effort to drag out cases. And many spouses are surprised to learn courts willing to sell these houses to pay the enterprise, rather than preserve community property as the law provides. 

Victims of the criminal enterprise report high conflict custody disputes left them ill prepared to recognize the scheme to sell the family home. 

Most alarming has been the discovery that elected judges in Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Diego, San Francisco, LA and Orange County regularly fail to disclose their real properties on the required From 700. Worse are cases involving private judges with real estate holdings that are not required to be disclosed.

Emails between Black Tulip and Court CEO David Yamasaki indicate Rebecca Bailey has been one of bad actors assisting the enterprise in laundering money, abusing children and silencing the parents who dare to speak up. It is estimated that Mr. Yamasaki has orchestrated the illegal transfer of billons of dollars of California home equity in the state's family court cases caught up the web of a criminal activity designed to separate children from their families, and sell off the family home in order to operate.   

Mainstream media finally looked into the claims of Silicon Valley's ex wives and reported former Google executive and Android creator,  Andy Rubin,  is allegedly involved in sex trafficking and money laundering rings. 

Silicon Valley court  files show billions of dollars at play in  divorce cases reveal patterns of America's powerful tech and social media executives treat their wives and children. These files show these executives aren't as innocent and business reporters would have us believe.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in Santa Clara and San Mateo county family law cases. Reading those files one would find the parents revered in Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times , but reported as  monsters, money launderers, sex traffickers and child abusers in their personal divorce cases. Seems  ex wives and children know what prosecutors refuse to investigate? 

Only in Silicon Valley can Facebook executives hide money to avoid paying child support and Google executives can use family courts to  cover up their sexual misdeeds and tax evasion issues. 

Read family court files long enough and the patterns of the lawyers and elected judges begin to emerge. Lawyers including Walter Hammon, Rebekkha Frye, Lynne Yates Carter, Brad Baugh, Elise Mitchell, Catherine Gallagher, Michele Hales, James Cox, Irwin Joseph , Michael Smith and Valerie Houghton are consistently at the center of the worst cases, most appear to be acting for profit and for the benefit of some of the worst abusers and crooks. 

Add in FAKE therapists Phil Stahl, John Orlando, Leslie Packer, Matthew Sullivan, Michael Kerner, Rebecca Bailey and Ken Perlmutter, and it is clear that children are bring terrorized in our family courts. 

For the naïve, family court judges are regularly selling homes in the modern divorce cases, a practice designed to pay lawyers and launder money through real estate transactions.  The sale of a family home has the added benefit of shutting up a spouse who can expose abuse and criminal activity arising from companies such as Google and Facebook.

Dangerous Judges Involved in Criminal Activities 

Five family court judges in Santa Clara County have been tied to these sex trafficking rings and local politicians.  James Towery, Stuart Scott, Mary Ann Grilli, Lori Pegg and Beth McGowan have issued orders,  and taken kickbacks,  to help these criminal enterprises thrive. Judge Theodore Zayner has reportedly been connected to the enterprise through  Google and Facebook executives as well as top influencers at Santa Clara and Stanford Universities. 

Silicon Valley Real Estate is Paying To Traffick Woman and Children

Young  women and men  whose parents are divorcing in Silicon Valley are reportedly at greatest risk of harm. Young white girls  and boys are isolated from their families by a court system designed to profit criminal enterprises. These children are labeled " crazy" or mentally unstable. Their parents are called "disgruntled over losing in court". 

Divorce attorney Sharon Roper is  reportedly at the center of the criminal family court  enterprise and Roper is engaged in fraudulent real estate dealings as a court employee. Roper  has  reportedly been working from inside the courts with Walter Hammon, Richard Roggia, Jim Cox, Heather Allan, Deborah Kim   and other  seasoned lawyers to assure that property sales and liens  keep the cash flowing to the  enterprise that operates sex trafficking rings and  elaborate drug distribution rings  throughout California. 

Elise Mitchell, an outsider,   was recently  brought into the enterprise following her representation of a famous 49er who admitted to excessive drinking, but was awarded unsupervised visitation in a custody case before Judge Towery.

Mitchell is reportedly the source of bankruptcy fraud  and real estate corruption, but has reportedly angered the enterprise, after she left important papers at a San Jose catholic School. Papers that were turned over to reporters and family court reform activists. It appears that Mitchell was helping former DA employee Saher Stephan in drafting bankruptcy papers that would conceal massive fraud contained in the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. 

What the Mitchell Papers Show 

The Mitchell Papers  appear to link Andy Rubin, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg to criminal enterprises operating in Silicon Valley family courts.  The papers also indicate former Santa Clara County Victim Claims Manager, Saher Stephan ,  was reportedly  misusing state and federal grants while processing claims for victims of sexual assault, rape, and domestic violence for the Santa Clara County district attorney's office.

Stephan who is represented by Walter Hammon in a case before Judge Beth McGowan, appears to have received assistance from Mitchell in submitting  fraudulent Bankruptcy claims designed to  conceal an affair and disability fraud. 

The Michell Papers also indicate  payments to Kayrn Sinunu Towery  assures her husband, Jim Towery, and bench colleague , Stuart Scott, use court orders and the  power of their office to keep the money flowing to the enterprise. Orders to put children on supervised visitation  where these judges hold an indirect financial interest is just the beginning. Orders to sell property and orders to deny fee awards to lawyers outside of the enterprise show the criminal pattern running rampant in Silicon Valley family courts. 

These judges are also issuing orders that require divorcing couples to use  Sharon Roper as a temporary judge. These orders have resulted in Roper orchestrating the sale of billions of dollars in  estate from California to Hawaii.  The money from these sales is being ordered into private lawyer trust accounts, to  pay private judges,  for supervised visitation providers, custody evaluators, reunification camps and parenting coordinators, all folks not needed when children have poor parents. 

Most shocking is that according to the Mitchell Papers Andy Rubin was able to pay off judge Swope  in San Mateo County to assure the  sealing court papers where his wife alleged Rubin's involvement in sex trafficking and money laundering while he was employed at Google. 

The Mitchell Papers also show former Santa Clara County prosecutor Deborah Medved, ,known to cover up child abuse imposed at the hands of Stanford University professors, is now being regularly appointed to represent children during their parent's divorce case. . The Mitchell papers directly tie Medved and Sinunu Towery  to the criminal enterprise operating out of Silicon Valley family courts. 

Cash payments, Facebook stock and other payments made to public officials including Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen appear to assure Facebook General Counsel Paul Grewal will get favorable rulings for Facebook in return for helping to rig local judge elections, according to the Mitchell papers. These cash payments were reportedly arranged through Hoge Fenton in return for  contracts and settlement agreements that allow for the  paying down the mortgages on the homes of local judges and politicians including Sam Liccardo, Dave Cortese, Jeff Rosen, Jim Beall, James Towery, Susan Ellenberg,  James Williams, Jeff Smith, Larry Stone, Patricia Lucas and Cindy Chavez, all of whom have remain silent on the issues of sex trafficking and child abuse claims arising from the local family courts. 

The Mitchell papers also indicate former executive Michael Kail of Los Gatos was reportedly using his executive position at Netflix to launder money and real estate for Rebekka Frye and cops employed by the Los Gatos police department.  Kail is linked in the papers to Alan Nudelman, a former prosecutor from Santa Clara County whose has been seen socializing with Judge Zayner and county real estate assessor Larry Stone.  Rebekka Frye has told clients she and Bradford Baugh " own the Los Gatos police" and can get anyone charged with domestic violence for the right price. The papers document affairs Frye had with clients she represented in DV cases, and that Frye assisted one family in breaking into a home, after Frye's client committed suicide. 

judge Zayner is described in the Mitchell papers as the " Gatekeeper" , a local judge willing to toss out and demur cases involving tech executives that could expose the operation. Zayner has reportedly been working with recalled judge Aaron Persky's wife in the real estate scam. Zayner has  reportedly promised Larry Stone protections from prosecution of FPPC violations during the 2018 election should those claims end up in Santa Clara courts. 

Judge Persky was recalled on June 5, 2018, and is now reportedly working for the criminal enterprise from an underground position facilitated by his wife. Ironically Persky is working for  Google executives including Ken Dauber, whose wife led the charge to recall Persky in 2018. 

The  Mitchell papers describe that the Persky recall was designed to detract public attention from other judges who were engaging in criminal activity while sitting on the bench. These judges were reportedly  assisted by local politicians including Santa Clara County Supervisors Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese and Joe Smitian who worked in secret with Michele Dauber and her husband Ken Dauber, a Google executive. 

Local Politics 2020: Dave Cortese Blasted By Neighbors of Bambi Larson

A Silicon Valley real estate enterprise connected to court corruption is linked to cash payments made to assure Dave Cortese is elected to California's Senate in 2020, in order to assure the enterprise stealing and harming children in the local family courts can continue to operate with impunity.  

Parents who were separated from their children in Silicon Valley family courts have launched an underground social media campaign designed to expose this criminal activity and thwart the election and advancement of corrupt politicians who protect bad  actors in local courts. 

" We want these lawyers, judges and so - called experts" to know what we endured. If  what we do only reaches the children of these criminals, then will be glad to let those children know what their parents did to our children. We will be happy with the court of opinion deciding what was concealed for decades as our children suffered emotional, financial and physical harm  and were abused by judges and court staff who are paid to act in the  best interest of children. This criminal enterprise has done nothing to protect any children and it is time to expose this sh*t. "  

After months of sifting through documents reportedly left at a Catholic high school by Silicon Valley divorce attorney Elise Mitchell, it appears  attorneys Heather Allan, Nicole Ford,  BJ Fadem, Jessica Huey, Irwin Joseph, Michael Smith, John Schroder, James Cox and Nat Hales have spent the past 2 decades using a complex money laundering scheme to traffic children through Silicon Valley's family courthouses.  Pedophiles are paying top dollar for white affluent children at the center of a divorce or custody case. Court CEO Rebecca Fleming and David Yamasaki appear to be the linchpin of the operations. 

The enterprise appears to be expanding to Contra Costa, Santa Cruz and Orange Counties through court staff, judges and administrators. 

CAPTURING CHILDREN & MONEY LAUNDERING 

By  including   workers from CPS and Family Court Services, and gaining   cooperation from  court appointed experts including  Matthew Sullivan, Leslie Packer, Valerie Houghton, Ken Perlmutter, John Orlando and Michael Kerner, the enterprise has thrived for the past two decades. 

The players are different in every county, but the enterprise is easily detected with the assistance of documents and secret recordings parents have been collecting over the past three years. 

Secret recordings made at a recent  " Power Lunch " appear to implicate Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese and employees in the DA's office in RICO activity that sells children to abusers and pedophiles, White children raised in Silicon Valley's elite neighborhoods bring as much as $1 million to the enterprise in the form of cash and loan payoffs on real estate transactions. Attorney Sharon Roper has recently been selling properties as a temporary judge in a manner that has poured over $100 million dollars into the enterprise to strengthen and expand the operation.   

Family courts are often a source of strife in a child's life. Family Court Services and CPS social workers appear to have  been using divorce and custody cases to identify children with the potential for being trafficked without detection. High conflict custody cases often lead to children " running away" , or so the public is told. In fact these children are taken in through religious organizations, or non- profits assured funding by local politicians, only to disappear as a " nanny" or child needing placement in foster care managed by the county. 

Payments recorded in leaked documents put Judges Stuart Scott, James Towery, Judge Roberta Hayashi, and  Joshua Weinstein at the center of the corruption. Court appointments made by these judges correlate to cases where parents are placed on supervised visitation, children are sent to reunification camps, and foster care programs are introduced once children have been isolated from " problematic parents". 

Judges are issuing Domestic Violence Restraining Orders to keep these parents permanently from their  own children. These orders often label a parent as " abusive " or " crazy" to justify the orders.  

The Mitchell documents tie divorce and custody cases to the enterprise, where judges  appoint lawyers to represent children,  or act as private judges,  where the enterprise can be further secreted.  The documents show Judge Joshua Weinstein has been issuing appointments directly and indirectly as he prepares to leave the bench and go into private judging where other judges will regular appoint him to divorce and custody cases with the most money, real estate and children.  The Mitchell documents appear to indicate that in the average middle class divorce case minor's counsel are assured appointments with $10,000 retainers, and private judges earn up to $200,000 in fees. 

Buyers of the children appear to be hiring young women to work as  a nanny, and young boys are promised scholarships and internships as a cover. In fact these children have reported they are essentially groomed to perform sex acts.

One young woman described her experiences  in family court where she was told her protective mother was alienating her from her father. The father then got fully custody and went on to  rape his own daughter  several times a week. When she tried to go to doctors or teachers for help, she was returned to her father.

The lawyer appointed to represent this women during  her parent's divorce case,  only met with the young client once, but continued to represent to the court the girl did not want to see her mother.  The girl repeatedly heard her father on the phone with the lawyer demanding recommendations to the court that would maintain his custody position.

The young woman  noted that her brother was sent to live with a man who suddenly gave her father a home after the family home had been sold in the divorce to pay all the lawyers. The girl was told her brother was " working " for a Silicon Valley tech executive, she has had no contact with him for the past five years. 

The Mitchell documents indicate affluent white children bring millions to judges, lawyers and others acting in Silicon Valley's family courts.

Local politicians know what this sex trafficking enterprise is doing and refuses to act in order to assure their reelection. Dave Cortese, a Santa Clara County supervisor  is running for California's state senate in 2020. Mr. Cortese has reportedly been told he will have the powerful support of the Catholic church and support of the state's judges in return for his silence. 

Mothers, fathers and gangs of reporters continue to sift through private settlement agreements connected with the Catholic Church sex abuse scandals that were used  to protect priests. For hundreds of years children were  sexually abused by priests acting as religious leaders and in positions of great respect in communities throughout the country. Now that legal settlements are coming to light, it is being revealed that for at least the last three decades, a startling link has been discovered that connects judges and family law attorneys to sex trafficking and pedophile rings from California to South Carolina where children were raped, abused and trafficked during the divorce of their parents. 

Papers and secret sources indicate Judge Peter McBrien , retired Sacramento judge who now is double dipping taxpayers as a family court Commissioner,  used the prestige of his office to traffic children in Sacramento's family courts through an orphanage known as Sacramento Children's Home.  McBrien's criminal activity does not appear to have been isolated to Sacramento, and these settlement papers indicated he used his contacts in Napa, Contra Costa, Orange and Santa Clara County to refer families to private judge cases where secret proceedings became the frontline for criminal enterprises designed to harm the state's most vulnerable children for profit. McBrein is connected to thousands of the state's private judging cases, where children of parents divorcing in counties with high property values, or tech and social media businesses had children used to fund the enterprise by  legally terminating  custody of protective parents, and allowing child abusers and sex traffickers to use family courts to silence children and protective parents. Confidential court papers in cases where parents were never married appear to indicate the worst abuses. 

Settlement papers connected to St. Mary's church in Gilroy,  California show children were placed in the county's orphanage by government workers and private lawyers connected to family court or CPS cases. Children raised in these systems  describe horrific abuses of drugging and financial deprivation after being  taken from Child Protective Services (CPS) or from families divorcing in Santa Clara and San Benito Counties. Attorneys Richard Roggia, James Cox and Sharon Roper's names appear connected to some of the most horrific abuses.

Papers also reveal that in  San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties attorneys Bradford Baugh, Lynne Yates Carter, Bill Dok, Leah Amini, Heather Allan, Jessica Huey, Jim Hoover, Marilyn Moreno, Elise Mitchell, Joseph Russoniello , Sharon Roper, James Cox, Irwin Joseph, Michael Smith, Hector Moreno and Donelle Morgan were connected to money laundering through an auto body shop out of Los Altos that brought undocumented immigrants to Silicon Valley to work as   "nannies" and companions for  tech executives engaging in some of the worst child and sex abuse cases in the state. Lawyers connected to the scandal appear to have been  awarded with hundreds of millions in attorney fee awards, private judge assignments and appointments as minor's counsel in some of the state's wealthiest divorce and custody  cases. 

Funding for the trafficking and child abuse enterprises appears to be coming from the conversion  of home  and business equity as well as cash laundered through the  Catholic Church  as "donations". 

Most alarming is a connection to  Los Gatos. California , where papers indicate attorneys Walter Hammon, Rebekah Frye  and Catherine Gallagher have been using connections to the local judiciary and powerful real estate developers to raise money through donations made to St. Mary's and Shir Hadash that have gone to fund supervised visitation centers, reunification camps and unlicensed non- profit groups to brainwash children being trafficked though Silicon Valley's courts and religious institutions such as St. Mary's and Yavneh  Day School. 

Ten years after the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal broke on the front pages of the Boston Globe, the full extent of harm inflicted on children through the nation's churches , synagogues and family courts continues to be secreted by lawyers and judges who knew and who allowed these horrific crimes against children to continue. 

Lawyers names associated with these settlements are now being redacted and reviewed in a manner that would allow children and parents to collect monetary awards, which many describe as insufficient given the stolen innocence these lawyers, judges, politicians and religious leaders took as they sought only to profit and advance their own careers. 

Morgan Hill attorney Laura Perry just tied Morgan Hill's most nefarious MILFs and a  criminal enterprise trafficking teenage girls, guns and designer drugs through the county's foster care system and local family courts. 

Taxpayers and Victims determined to remove Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen and Judge James Towery from the county payroll, found divorce cases linked to the Morgan Hill  office of Laura Perry that tie south county to court corruption that  has resulted in the  separating of  families and trafficking young wealthy women whose parents ended up in the courtrooms of Judge Patricia Lucas, James Towery, Christopher Rudy, Mary Arand, Stuart Scott, Theodore Zayner and Mark Pierce. during their divorce or civil cases connected to  Silicon Valley start ups, real estate  and tech businesses. 

The criminal enterprise apparently operates in divorce cases where judges appoint lawyers for children, or to act as private judges. Heather Allan, Rebekah Frye,  BJ Fadem, Jessica Huey, Richard Roggia, Hector Moreno, Walter Hammon and Bradford Baugh are the core lawyers working to use domestic violence and mental health claims against former spouses that  separate children from their parents and find many of these children fleeing the area, or ending up in the county's  foster care program. 

Once children are in these programs, a local Standing Order allows county employees to order medical procedures and drugs for children without parental consent. Slowly these kids are placed on dangerous prescription medications where mind altering effect make these children more susceptible to becoming high school dropouts, gang members and run always, or worse, to be picked up into sex, gun and drug trafficking rings where the children easily vanish from their communities and are written off as part of their parent's nasty divorce cases. 

An audit of Santa Clara County  family court orders show a core group of judges routinely issuing  orders for medical treatments, supervised visitation centers  and detention centers where they hold a financial interest. 

Judges currently earn $180- 220,000 in Santa Clara courts, a fraction of what is needed to live a middle class lifestyle in Silicon  Valley. This pay gap as left judges ripe for corruption, kickbacks and sex favors, many of which are provided through an elaborate network of lawyers, court reporters and bailiffs. 

Perry is also linked to gun runners and abusers operating out of Gilroy, Morgan Hill and San Martin where a  couple known as "Heidi and Scott" have reportedly become known as the South County homewreckers. This couple goes in to troubled marriages through elaborate dating schemes played out on Match.com, Instagram and Facebook. The couple sets out to have affairs with couples in troubled marriages ultimately bringing  in Laura Perry and other area lawyers willing to suck community property into the criminal enterprise that continues to thrive in Silicon Valley. An enterprise  fueled by the most famous names in tech and social media.  

Nurses striking in Alameda County got the support from doctors and had the opportunity to spend several hours chatting about Silicon Valley divorce lawyers, which led them to Chris Dull, a family law attorney who is known for using online dating services, watching porn during office consultations  and sexually, verbally and emotionally abusing women clients, workers and colleagues. As the nurses shared stories of their own divorces, and those of their friends, a pattern  emerged and an unusual network appeared to  be formed. 

Joining the nurses were several area teachers who explained alarming mental health issues related to students whose parents put them in divorce court; One teacher described how a student had written in a journal with a note; "Please Read", where the teacher found vivid descriptions of horrific child abuse the student had suffered at the hands of  her own father. As a mandated reporter, the teacher reported the journal entry to the school psychologist. The teacher later learned the district attorney had been called, but had done nothing. The child was forced to return to her father, and court orders kept her entirely from her mother. 

As more nurses appeared joined  the discussion over local divorce and custody cases, horrific crimes of abuse, fraud and horrific stories revealed that these cases are being  fueled by a core group of family lawyers  who have avoided prosecution because of kickbacks to the local district attorney through Santa Clara University. Many described complaints to the State Bar and county politicians had simply been ignored. 

One nurse who neighbor is an  attorney at the State Bar said that the Bar has known lawyers are committing crimes and not being disbarred, or prosecuted based on secret deals with government lawyers in Santa Clara County, Contra Costa, Sacramento and Orange County. 

During the strike, buttons and stickers circulated and nurses, teachers and doctors appeared to be committed to getting these stories told, and bad lawyers recalled or removed from office by working across county lines and in Sacramento to bring attention to the state's law makers. 

Stanford University Law School was hoping this video would not be found. It was.

This video  connects Judge Zayner of the Santa Clara County Superior Court with the recent college cheating scandal and implicates him in a criminal medical fraud scam involving Stanford University hospitals. 

A criminal investigation is now underway to see if Zayner used his power and position as an elected judge to rig probate and divorce cases as well as civil cases involving Medicare Fraud and antitrust activity in the area's medical industry. 

Zayner's wife, Dawn Neisser,  was recently overheard talking about this 2012 video and how she and her husband used to skinny dip and do drugs with others on the campus in a manner that would be considered highly embarrassing to a sitting judge.  Zayner's involvement in the pharmaceutical industry and Stanford Healthcare is also drawing attention following the exposure of the College Cheating  Scandal, where Zayner reportedly violated the law and refused to recuse himself in cases where he was trying to rig outcomes to benefit is almamater. 

A review of Zayner's family law and probate cases show Zayner, through his associations with the Inns of Court,  Judge Zayner provided favors and favorable rulings to lawyers with a Stanford degree. In  the county's divorce, probate and conservatorships, Zayner allowed court fiduciaries and private judges to take over money management of the elderly and disabled in a manner that resulted in the conversion of estates to Zayner's closest Stanford University buddies. 

An investigative  report by the San Jose Mercury News, highlighted some of the worst cases, but what Zayner did in the county's divorce cases may have been worse. 

Known for his stoic bench conduct, Zayner may have not been the legal mind he wanted the public to believe. A core group of local judges, lawyers, Stanford professors  tapped Zayner years ago. His political rise in the courts appears to directly correlate to family and probate cases where "winners" became big donors to Stanford's hefty endowment., or Stanford Hospital. 

Former clerks and interns secretly kept  files of Zayner's contacts. Those contacts are now being cross-referenced with others  indicted in the college cheating scandal, as Zayner's family law and civil  cases are getting a new look.  

The investigation has also brought scrutiny to Judge Lori Pegg, the county's family court presiding judge and former County Counsel for Santa Clara County. Pegg and Zayner have reportedly been working in concert to cover up scandalous child support abuses, and protect Stanford University professors  who were charged with child abuse and domestic violence in their divorce cases. Worse Lori Pegg and Theodore Zayner appear to have been working to toss out civil cases involving police misconduct, in order to save the county billons in embarrassing lawsuits. 

Zayner was also the subject of a recall effort in the summer of 2016, but a secret deal with Stanford Professor Michele Dauber and Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen saw that recall foiled and Persky recalled instead. 

All those dots are now being connected and Judge Zayner, known for favorable rulings for  Stanford lawyers, and in cases where Stanford alum will benefit, as Zayner remained  silent on judges engaging in misconduct may get a new look. 

The innocent video produced by a sitting Judge's wife, may not be as innocent as Judge Zayner would like it to be as a core group of disgruntled parents and students set out to do the investigation the courts refuse to do.

Transgender: Abuses Mothers in Family Court 
For those who remember BJ Fadem as a woman, the notes and confidential papers left at Notre Dame high school in San Jose came as no surprise. Fadem,  who was never comfortable being a woman and reportedly hated his own mother  has unleashed years of torment on local children whose parents  are divorcing in Santa Clara family courts. Worse, confidential papers left at San Jose's elite Catholic High School show Fadem was also involved in the criminal trafficking of children and laundering money through the local courts in the form of court orders and appointments. The notes show Fadem working to protect Stanford professors, and high tech executives who sexually molested children and arranged sex favors including blow jobs to some of Santa Clara County's most prominent judges. Fadem is linked to Family Court Services MFT Jason Magers, also transgender, who is known for taking children from mothers as a form of grooming in the sex trafficking rings. 

Many believe the papers were left at the high school by controversial divorce attorney Elise Mitchell, who has recently experienced high staff turnover and is rumored to be frazzled purchasing a home with her husband using money laundered through the courts and payoffs from the 49ers. Payments reportedly arranged through attorney Eric Scott Geffon, now a Santa Clara County superior court judge. 

Selling the Homes of Families to Pay the Lawyers and Sex Traffickers

​James Towery, another lawyer turned bad judge, was known for  sexually harassing  the legal secretary in his own law firm. The problem for Towery was that the secretary kept notes, and his wife, Marilyn Morgan , a partner in the firm with her father, found the notes and took Towery to divorce court.

After he was appointed to the family court, Judge James Towery began using his elected office to sell the properties of families involved in local divorces in order to assure payments to court appointed lawyers, private judges and custody evaluators  who use rigged reports and junk science to separate children from their families and put them into the criminal justice or foster care systems where they are ripe for sex trafficking and abuse. 
 

Banks Funding Trafficking Through the Courts

 The papers show Judge James L. Stoelker has been using his contacts where he formerly represented big banks to assist the  money laundering scheme  using local real estate transactions and help from county assessor Larry Stone's confidential secretary.  Stone's office has coordinated the scheme through the district attorney's office where prosecutors including Deborah Medved, Terry Harman and Allison Filo have helped the trafficking ring after  Medved became a family law attorney regularly appointed to represent children in cases with judges she knew from the DAs office, including Amber Rosen, the wife of District Attorney Jeff Rosen. Medved was known for protecting Stanford professors and Silicon Valley tech executives who were part of sex trafficking rings and where many abused their own children, with impunity. 

Notes show Medved,  was arranging cash payments with the help of DDA John Chase to DA Mark Peterson in Contra Costa County. Other judges involved in the scam include: 
Santa Clara County; Patricia Lucas, Mary Arand, Julie Emede, Vincent Chiarello, Mark Pierce, Joshua Weinstein and Roberta Hayashi, all  assisted by government lawyers Lisa Herrick and Los Gatos Councilwoman Barbara Spector, formerly of Hoge Fenton. Private lawyers known for watching porn and trying to trade representation for sex include Nat Hales, Neville Spadafore, and Catherine Gallagher who are regularly appointed as private judges to keep the scam out of the public eye. 

Judges have been repaid for their rulings with mysterious payoffs on their homes and rental properties using Los Gatos based Orange Title company and connections to Intero real estate agents to do so.  

Judges Putting Kids on Drugs for Profit

Judge Manley has been rigging outcomes in drug court, while "investing" in drug companies through relatives and friends.  Court ordered drug rehab and probation monitoring  programs listed in Mitchell's notes show area lawyers and judges getting kickbacks from large drug companies and big players in local marijuana businesses. Mitchell was recently heard by a staffer bragging to clients she could get a former spouse criminally prosecuted due to her connections with John Chase and Michael Moreno in the DA's office.

Unity Care, the corporation charged with caring for foster kids in the San Jose area, is highly linked to Judge James Towery,  Judge Amber Rosen, Kayrn Sininu Towery and  Supervisor Cindy Chavez, all who profited from the drugging and abusing of children caught in Santa Clara County's juvenile system. 

Drugging of children based on recommendations and orders of court appointed lawyers appear to be key to the scam. Hundreds of CP cases and court files that are kept confidential by the courts, and state law, show the most egregious  offenses according to notes and records found at the high school. 

Judge Roberta Hayashi, one of the judges documented in Mitchell's notes reportedly  used non-profit cancer organizations to launder money to her campaigns and kickback favors to Silicon Valley's top tech industry executives whose divorces come before her in family court. Hayashi, a former judge in criminal court, has reportedly received unreported campaign contributions, and repayments on real estate owned in the upscale Los Gatos community. Hayashi's connection to the Los Gatos Police indicate much of the sex trafficking has gone through law enforcement officers tied to the Los Gatos and San Jose police. 

Disappearing Families

Sex trafficking in Silicon Valley  has been  concealed by  local media that has secret deals to kill stories related to the local courts. Judges drag out divorces to isolate children in order to traffic them. Once a divorce drags out for five years, children become isolated from their extended families and neighbors, allowing them to disappear without raising eyebrows.  

Erasing children to traffic them begins with court orders that  appoint lawyers to make decisions for a judge. Decisions are rarely based on the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD  and more for the best interest of the pocketbooks of judges and lawyers. Soon after an appointment,  lawyers will claim  to need appointment of custody evaluators. Most nefarious include Phil Stahl, Leslie Packer, Michael Sullivan and Ken Perlmutter, whom BJ Fadem is known to coordinate with in order to rig report outcomes in favor of a parent in on the sex trafficking scam. 

Judge Steve Austin of Contra Costa, Judge Patricia Lucas of Santa Clara and Judge Mathew Gary of Sacramento  appeared to be ring leaders of the operation, where their positions in the state courts provided them assured immunity. 

Connection to Sacramento 
One diagram in the Mitchell notes indicate Sacramento judge Mathew Gary arranged  part of the  payment  scheme  through court clerks and court reporters who were able to launder money disguised as cash payments for transcripts that were   buried in fee awards made to lawyers throughout the state. The diagram additionally shows connections and protections through local governments including elected district attorney Mark Peterson, whose sex scandals and coverups are now being reported in the press following his indictment and disbarment. District Attorney Jeff Rosen is reportedly the target of the next indictment, and recall waive resulting in the failure of his office to prosecute the undocumented immigrant who killed Willow Glen mom Bambi Larson, and the homeless man who raped a San Martin woman early in 2019. 

Children Who Escape
Several children, now grown, have come forward to describe how they were groomed for sex trafficking. Therapists appointed by the court used gaslighting and torcher to get them to hate protective parents. Once the protective parent has been legally removed by the courts, the children report being offered drugs by their court appointed lawyers and abusive parents.  Therapists also recommend prescription drugs that are forcibly given to children by court order, over the objections of protective parents.  Kids describe losing friends who don't understand the court process, slipping grades, and dropping out because they felt invisible and lost their family support system. Some become incarcerated only to find their family gone when they are released. Once the children have been isolated from their  family and community, they are ripe for the trafficking rings being operated by a core group of judges and lawyers in our family courts. 

In addition to family courts, Mitchell's papers indicate area lawyers have been secretly settling sex abuse cases against judges, high profile prosecutors,  as well as teachers and administrators at Notre Dame, Presentation and Mitty high schools. Students from those schools were told to hire lawyers and then were gaged from talking about the abuse. Robert Allard, a close friend of the DA's office,  appeared to be negotiating many of these settlements in a manner that would prevent the DA's office from prosecuting the most heinous sex abuses of children that involved connections to local lawyers, judges and custody evaluators working in Silicon Valley's criminal and family courts. 

For decades parents and Whistleblowers have complained that Silicon Valley courts have ignored corruption  that allowed pedophiles, abusers and thieves to rob and harm families for profit. 

A recent investigation links Santa Clara County's newest woman Democrat to sex trafficking, and scandalous conduct imposed by the Hammon Legal Dynasty. 

County divorce files show Ken Perlmutter is renting a home in Palo Alto for $6100 a month, and claims in his personal divorce case has exposed Perlmutter to allegations related to RICO crimes including money laundering that seeks to reduce support obligations to his former wife. 

Secret recording devices planted near Perlmutter's rental home have captured conversations with divorce attorneys; Bradford Baugh, Catherine Bechtel, Rebekah Frye, Walter Hammon and Donelle Morgan, indicate divorce lawyers, custody evaluators and CPAs are using Santa Clara County divorce cases to launder money and fleece families for profit. 

Susan Ellenberg,  who ran for Santa Clara County Supervisor in 2018,  is connected to the scam, through her campaign manager Walter Hammon. Witnesses report Hammon accepted cash payments for Ellenberg's campaign  and laundered them through his attorney trust account. Such conduct has seen  Hammon in trouble before. The pair also appeared to have worked with Hammon's wife Maben, and Los Gatos City Councilwoman Barbara Spector who is now being kicked back private judging appointments in Hammon's cases, in her new assignment as a JAMS mediator. 

County Counsel Greta Hansen and James Williams have been in on the scam as well. These  government lawyers have been making criminal conduct disappear through the county's Personnel Board. 

At the core of the corruption is the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office where the Director of Victim Services, Kasey Halcon, is reportedly working on a " catch and kill" program designed to silence victims seeking help in the county's family courts. 

Halcon reportedly has accepted cash as well, in return for turning the other way when it come to investigating the county's non- profit organization, where individuals including Lisa Pott have cheated taxpayers seeking to support victims of teen depression and suicide. Halcon is reportedly working through private attorney Barbara Spector of Los Gatos. 

Barbara Spector, formerly of Hoge Fenton,  has been caught up in what appears to be a Racketeering Enterprise involving James Towery and Valerie Houghton,  formerly of Hoge Fenton. In a complex scheme that involved judges and lawyers laundering money through the county's real estate transactions, Spector has assisted dirty lawyers converting home equity into profits and untraceable trust account deposits where she is now being paid back with private judging, ADR and mediation assignments. 

Lawyers from the DA's office appear in on the scheme, accepting kickbacks and other bribes, has become a widely accepted practice. 

Lawyers and judges involved in divorce cases are being investigated. For now the top scumbag prize is a tie between Mary Ann Grilli. who was addicted to pain medications for the last five years she ruled in family law cases, and Judge James Towery, who cheated on his first wife Marilyn Morgan. That cheating was carefully documented by a staffer in the office where Towery was partner with his wife and her father. 

Towery, then joined the Santa Clara County family court where he continued his abuse of woman, and distain for men who were not cheats like him. 

Other judges implicated in the real estate scam with questionable mortgage payoffs include Judge Patricia Lucas, Judge Vincent Chiarello and recalled judge Aaron Persky. 

Contra Costa parents successfully gathered enough signatures to place three judges on a recall ballot, tripling the threat to the security of complicit judges who have been separating and bankrupting families in California's family courts for the past two decades.. 

Joined by children who are the product of divorce in Silicon Valley, activists are turning their attention back to Santa Clara County to focus on Judge James Towery, Judge Joshua Weinstein, Judge Stuart Scott, Judge Cynthia Lie, Judge Lori Pegg and Judge Roberta Hayashi who have pandered to corrupt lawyers and loyalties over families they are elected to serve. 
Weinstein , who has returned to the family court after corrupting criminal cases, is a new focus of social media hit pieces.  He is quickly getting a reputation for rigging divorce cases and favoring lawyers after he has been seen regularly with James Towery, the most corrupt judge in Santa Clara County. ​

San Jose, February 28, 2019- 
Honesty, fair play, search for truth, unbiased application of enacted law, are among the “must have” qualities of a American Judge when they make binding, life-altering decisions on U.S. citizen’s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Complaints against the California judges, and in particularly the Santa Clara County judges, supervised by the California Judicial Council, have grown in recent past.. Lack of transparency, for example;  no recording of court proceedings, judicial immunity, tampering of records, judicial misconduct tactics, cover ups, et al., renders judicial misconduct almost invisible.

However, public has grown increasingly frustrated and began documenting and sharing with the world the crisis of judicial corruption. For example, recent Santa Clara County public filings reveal uncontroverted facts supporting Judge Joshua Weinstein’s misconduct, corrupt acts, fraud on the court, creation of false record, et al.
 
It is such gross judicial misconduct that led to California State Auditor being asked to audit of the hollow California judicial oversight body, the state’s Commission on Judicial Performance

Ironically public had previously complained that Judge Joshua Weinstein routinely cozy up lawyers and “He is especially unfair to self-represented parties” see http://www.therobingroom.com/california/Judge.aspx?id=22514

Santa Clara County has been violating ADA laws and victims rights for decades. Judge Mary Ann Grilli was previously sued for her unconstitutional conduct, and Grilli's favorite divorce lawyers; Bradford Baugh, Hector Moreno and Valerie Houghton engaged in rampant tax fraud, as well as abuses of appointments for private judges, custody evaluators and minor's counsel. 

James Towery, former Chief Trial Counsel at the State Bar has been protecting lawyers like Houghton, Baugh and Moreno for decades. Jim Hoover, Donelle Morgan, Walter Hammon  and Bill Dok have been implicated as well, along with newcomers Heather Allan, Jessica Huey, Jennifer Mello, women lawyers willing to get appointments and discipline immunity the old fashioned way: On their backs. 

Judge Robert Hayashi  and Judge Lori Pegg have been drinking from the same water cooler with Towery and Jeff Rosen's wife, Amber Rosen, excepting that disregard of the law would be protected based on the good old boy network operating Silicon Valley Courts. In return, Jeff Rosen has given judges a free pass on public corruption and taxpayer waste investigations. Front and center in the cover up is Jeff Rosen's top prosecutors including David Angel, John Chase, Jay Boyarsky and even former reporter and public information officer Sean Webby.

One victim of attorney Nat Hales described who  Hales, along with other divorce lawyers including Michael Smith, Neville Spadafore, Robert Redding, James Cox , Ed Mills and Irwin Joseph have rigged divorce cases, bankrupted families and promised favorable outcomes for sex and cash payments in Santa Clara County divorce cases through private judging cases that gouged families and children for hundreds of millions of dollars. 

Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen has prosecuted parents for minor child support and custody violations, while he ignored systemic corruption in the county's family courts. 

Victims subjected to years of abuse by divorce lawyers overcharging, selling homes and raiding retirement accounts and who were ignored by mainstream media have turned to social media and memes to tell their stories and expose corruption. 

Social media has also  drawn the attention of Facebook, Netflix , and Google, who have faced legal and media attacks for their publishing of stories that many victims know to be true. 

Q is seeking stories and support from union employees in law enforcement and county agencies, as well as Oracle, Cisco, Netflix, Google, Yahoo and Paypal in order to expose corruption in Silicon Valley's family courts. Email us your story, or send us contacts to tech and social media companies willing to help catch these career criminals.

Susan Ellenberg was like many other women riding the #metoo movement into historic midterm elections. Promises of big changes made in 2018 fell short when Ellenberg cast her first votes in 2019 and demonstrated her loyalty to lawyers including divorce attorney Walter Hammon  who was front and center in Ellenberg's campaign. 

Walter Hammon is a "clean-up" divorce lawyer, retained by the most nefarious  spouses divorcing in Santa Clara County. Most recently Hammon represented an employee of the Santa Clara County District Attorney, Jeff Rosen, where Hammon's client  reportedly sexually harassed a subordinate, sending  two families into the local courts. Hammon reportedly took the case as a favor to Rosen, and to hide the settlement the county made with the employee in 2018, just before a 2019 law would require the case to be fully disclosed. 

Divorce lawyers Sharon Roper and Valerie Tarvin reportedly cleaned up the other divorce arising from the DA office scandal, where the husband, an employee for Uber, was suspected of abusing his immigrant wife after he learned of her infidelity. The divorce was quickly settled up and the settlement with the county kept secret. 

Santa Clara County employee Terry Harman has been covering up sexual abuse and harassment in the DA's office for years. Harman reportedly threatened  employees who tried to speak up and ignored complaints from the public brought directly to the DA, or through the county's Whistleblower program. Harman also reportedly helped cover up sexual abuse claims against Dominic Caserta who ran against Ellenberg andwas reportedly " outed" as a strategy designed to assure Ellenberg's win. 

Hammon, whose sons work for criminal law firms and hold leadership positions in the State Bar, is being investigated for RICO and Antitrust activity along with other lawyers from the county.  Hammon, who opposed Bradford Baugh and James Mc Manis for show, has  also been linked to Rebekah Frye and the Los Gatos police, where domestic violence is falsely charged,  or carefully covered up,  for the right price. 

Frye has also been linked to drug deals involving local youth, some of whom Frye knew faced financial problems because of their parent's divorce. 

Walter Hammon is being investigated for collecting campaign donations for Susan Ellenberg in a manner that violates the Political Reform Act and that included his Trust Account, Hammon reportedly  collected and donated cash that was not reported on Ellenberg's campaign forms. 

Parents in the county worried that Ellenberg's close relationship with Hammon would prevent her from helping families struggling with the county's family courts and complicit District Attorney, out of the gate Ellenberg may have demonstrated parents should have been worried. 

Photo: Left is what Mark Zuckerberg looked like when James Towery of Hoge Fenton, and Chief Trial Counsel at the State Bar heavily litigated the Facebook case and stole that business from Boston and from the Winkelvoss twins. 

Looks like Facebook and privacy issues can be blamed on the crooked lawyers who acted on behalf of Mark Zuckerberg and U Conn, mainly James Towery, who had moved on to California's State Bar, and locked up the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office which allowed Facebook to violate privacy and incite conflict in divorce cases.

A startling number of court orders show judges ordering one parent to not post on Facebook, or share photos of their own children when they are involved in a custody case.  More alarming are the number of subpoenas and search warrants that have been served on Facebook, a court process intended to criminal parents for using social media other parents use freely. 


Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen has a history of seizing online information to reserve engineer crimes that  benefit his political career.  This happened as Rosen's office prosecuted the Saratoga High students during the investigation of Audrie Pott's death. 

Leaked records show that Rosen used the Facebook pages of former 49er Ray McDonald to stalk victims of 49er football players in an effort to " clean up " claims of sexual assault and domestic violence that would tarnish the reputation of the 49er;s who moved to Santa Clara in 2015.

Lisa, Shelia and Larry Pott have also used an abuse of process to stalk Michael Larazin's  social media accounts, falsely claiming  that  Michael acted under various fake names on Facebook.  

Court orders show that family courts have been prosecuting parents for Facebook posts in a manner that is more than alarming. Those parents are now using Facebook, and other social media to investigate lawyers who incite such ridiculous conflicts in divorce and custody cases. 

For decades parents in family court complained about judges violating the law, separating families and acting in a manner that should have removed them from the bench. That time was a heyday for judge crimes and judicial misconduct. 

Parents had no idea where to complain , or who could help. 

Since 2010 the ubiquitous use of the internet has helped these parents to organize. To find others. They have started websites, and blogs. They have flooded social media groups, online chats and Instgram. They have even used anonymous names on popular video games to communicate with children judges kept them from. 

Now the children are growing up. They are speaking out, they are searching for parents they lost through legal abuse and where judges abused their power. 

California's State Auditor  is now monitoring complaints and Victoria Henley the WoMAN who blocked these complaints and protected bad judges will be called to a special place in hell. and jail, for what she has done to families and children.

​

Complain about a Judge in writing to: 

Parents ignored Judge Lucas' FAKE  Order as they blasted the San Jose Family Court with Megaphones , Picket Signs  and Christmas decorations in an effort to bring media attention to how California Courts are harming families. 

When the parents  left, on the last day of Hanukkah, they left a decorated  Christmas Tree filled with ornaments in memory of children who were killed, committed suicide or taken from their parents because of family court judges and corrupt divorce lawyers. 

These parents have been protesting the courts for months. Often led by Scott Largent and Michelle Chan with mighty megaphones, the parents are not backing down on getting their voices heard and media attention to the courts. 

Scott Largent was arrested last May for using a toy megaphone in the exact location of Monday's protest,  but Santa Clara County Sheriffs have reportedly backed off as Sherriff Laurie Smith refuses to enforce what many believe is an unconstitutional order issued by Judge Lucas to silence protesters during the Persky recall. 

Judge Persky was recalled in June 2018 and is now trying to get donations to pay legal fees that are a fraction of what many parents paid to get divorced in his court. 

Meanwhile, lawyers inside and out of the courthouse have become aware of criminal investigations that could get many divorce lawyers disbarred and judges removed from the bench after a link to Judge James Towery and DA Jeff Rosen reveals pressure on the San Jose Mercury to not cover family court issues date back to Rosen's 2010 election. 

Michael Lazarin was present at the protest, as he continues to fight to raise awareness related to issues involving domestic violence, which impacted his biological daughter, Audrie Pott, who committed suicide in 2012.

Lazarin has been legally abused by Lisa and Larry Pott. the greedy evil step parents of Audrie, who made a fortune off the young girl's death. Many  in  the upscale Los Gatos community believe Lisa and Larry  used Audrie's  death for greed and profit. 

Sheila Pott , Audrie's mother,  is reportedly being investigated for tax fraud and criminal charges related to claims she  assisted in an unreported campaign donation to Jeff Rosen through here real estate lending career. The Potts reportedly used private lawyer Robert Allard to arrange illegal  payments to Rosen that were not properly reported during Rosen's 2014 campaign for re-election as Santa Clara County District Attorney. 

Also present at the protest were family members of Alycia Mesiti,  the young girl whose mother and aunts could not afford to protect her in family court, where Judge Persky and Judge Chiarello   refused to follow the law and gave custody of Mesiti. and her brother. to their father, despite his criminal history of abuse and refusal to pay the most basic child support. 

Several protestors had been victimized by divorce attorneys Heather Allan, Hector Moreno, BJ Faden, Jessica Huey, Valerie Houghton, Walter Hammon, Leah Amini, Elise Mitchell, Sharon Roper  and Bradford Baugh, lawyers who are currently being investigated  RICO activity where they obtain court orders to send kids to supervised visitation centers or reunification camps where many local judges and lawyers have a financial interest.  

The protest included both mothers and fathers who are united  in exposing family court corruption where  greedy divorce lawyers are appointed to represent children, and fail. And where corrupt judges use  Kids for Cash to the lawyer with the most cash and favors. 

California's Judicial Council has tried to silence these protestors for decades. Rumor has it they are frustrated the parents in Santa Clara County, the county that just recalled Judge Arron Persky,  simply will not go away.
