Appreciation to Brian Cates for posting the following:
Sentencing Submission – #670 in United States v. Maxwell (S.D.N.Y., 1:20-cr-00330) – CourtListener.com
Ghislaine Maxwell sentencing memo:
SAVAGE.
A big reason the government is asking the judge to give Maxwell the full ride is her utter and complete lack of remorse on top of her endlessly whining about the conditions of the jail she’s being held in.
In fact the government points out she’s being treated better than the average inmate.
How many people stupidly insisted – based on MAXWELL’S CLAIMING THIS – that the SDNY Public Corruption Unit started it’s investigation of Epstein and his sex trafficking ring due to civil litigants demanding it.
In fact, it was an investigative report in the Miami Herald newspaper back in November 2018 that led the SDNY authorities to begin their investigation.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article238237729.html
Almost everything many people assume about this high profile nationally covered case is wrong.
You know why that is?
Because the Fake News Media people and even many Conservative media people and influencers don’t research anything. They’re surface skimmers forming snap hot-takes based on their own confirmation biases and then they take the wrong narratives they form on those instant hot takes and spread them hither and yon all across the fruited plain.
And I’ve been using the Maxwell case to make this point for over a year now.
What are they telling you there?
They’re telling you Jeffrey Epstein was one of the protected princes of the realm.
Nobody – NOBODY – sneaks up on a Jeffrey Epstein. It does not happen. Too many friends in high places, too many tripwires all around him.
Somebody eluded all the high friends and somebody avoided all the tripwires.
What should have been impossible happened anyway.
“Ok groomer.”
She’s a groomer, see.
One of the best and most prolific groomers of an entire elite cabal of groomers.
And she’s about to be sentenced to major time for all the grooming she did.
As I wrote at my Substack – which I hope you all subscribe to, by the way! – Maxwell’s defense of her decades-long close and intimate association with Epstein while all this child sex trafficking and grooming was going on was by it’s very nature incoherent.
https://briancates.substack.com/p/part-3-will-ghislaine-maxwells-defense
“Child grooming? What child grooming? I didn’t see any child grooming going on!”
Surprisingly enough, a jury did not buy this defense and convicted her.
While everybody else was telling you Maxwell would never make it to trial, or that she’d be offed before she did, or that she’d be acquitted, or that she’d get a light slap on the wrist, I consistently told you that:
1. She would be convicted
2. She would be get essentially a life sentence
3. She and Epstein were never the only targets of the Public Corruption Unit’s investigation
4. Epstein and Maxwell **never held public office
5. The investigation into the Epstein Child Sex trafficking ring is currently pursuing other targets and **this is why you haven’t seen the black book yet. It’s evidence in ongoing criminal cases being built to indictments and future trials.
I used to try to explain this until about 7 months ago after the verdict and I just gave up and bided my time.
Still waiting.
But when the SDNY PCU is ready to drop more indictments in it’s Epstein investigation, they’ll do so.
I believe those indictments will include – surprise! – public officials.
One of the dumbest hot takes I had to counter during the Maxwell trial was the exceedingly stupid narrative that by limiting the number of Epstein/Maxwell victims testifying at the trial to SIX, this “proved” that the “fix was in” and Maxwell was going to walk.
Dumbasses who don’t know how anything works but somehow have an audience didn’t understand this is standard procedure in sex abuse cases.
If a serial rapist raped 25 different women, do you **really think that in order to convict that creep, the prosecutors are required to force all 25 to come into court and relive the trauma in their testimony?
Well NO. They only need to prove with evidence he raped a handful.
It’s the same with a serial killer. They only need to prove he killed 2-3 people to lock him up for life or get the death penalty. They don’t need to prove he killed all 8 or 9 or whatever.
LOL Ghislaine helpfully suggested to the court that she be sentenced to only between 51 to 63 months.
On the other hand, the USPBO [that’s United States Probation Office, for those of you in Rio Linda] calculated that Maxwell should receive 20 years imprisonment – but that was predicated on the original indictment and charges of having directly participated in the grooming and sexual abuse of FOUR girls, not six.
And the government proved at trial – and jury agreed – that Maxwell was involved in victimization of two more girls who were added in a superseding indictment.
So because of 6 victims and not 4, Maxwell should get the 30-35 years and not 20 years.
This is why grooming a child for sexual abuse is so evil. The grooming process requires the abuser to gain the intended victim’s trust.
This is why when the abuse happens it’s so traumatic. A person who has been looked on as a great friend and benefactor suddenly reveals their real nature.
Not only is there major trauma for the victim when the abuse begins, but an exceptionally skilled abuser can use guilt to essentially paralyze the victim.
“What did you think you were here for? You thought you deserved better? This is a good deal. We’re taking care of you. Don’t make a mistake here.”
For what it’s worth – as we all know I blew my prediction of Sussmann copping a plea before his trial, and then that he’d be convicted – I predict Judge Alison Nathan gives the prosecution what it is asking for: a sentence somewhere within the 30-35 year range.
In case you missed my extensive coverage of the Epstein case, from the beginning I was asserting that Epstein and Maxwell were ‘old business’ that had to be gotten out of the way first before accountability could be brought to the rest of the trafficking ring and – pay attention here! – the public officials who let them get away with their grooming operation for 15 additional years.
A compendium of my coverage of this important case:
My first column on Epstein was also my first column for Tracy Beanz’s new news website, Uncover DC:
Initially the Left was ecstatic over the Epstein arrest because they thought it would lead right to Donald Trump’s door.
After Epstein was found dead in his cell, I wrote this:
Then in November of 2019 the Fake News Media was literally caught red handed covering up Epstein’s crimes.
Then in July 2020, the Maxwell arrest happened:
All sorts of fascinating questions remain about exactly how Maxwell’s arrest was done.

PART 1: The Truth About The Public Corruption Unit’s Investigation of the Epstein Sex Trafficking Ring
Nobody else is telling it to you straight. Why not?
In August of 2021 I began my own Substack and continued my coverage of the SDNY’s Public Corruption Unit’s investigation of the Epstein Sex Trafficking ring:
One of the reasons people lose track of what’s happening now is that they don’t remember what’s already happened, because cases like this actually take years, not weeks.
This is how you end up being vulnerable to snap hot takes by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
Early on I was pointing out how Maxwell had not real defense. At all.
While Fake News and Conservative influencers were babbling how awful rotten and terrible the prosecutors were doing, what was I saying?
https://briancates.substack.com/p/part-4-ghislaine-maxwells-defense
https://briancates.substack.com/p/now-that-the-old-business-is-settled
Caveat on that last: at the time I wrote that I didn’t know they’d delay Maxwell’s sentencing to June of 2022.
PART 1: The Truth About The Public Corruption Unit’s Investigation of the Epstein Sex Trafficking Ring
Nobody else is telling it to you straight. Why not?
3 years ago people might have balked at the idea that public officials would not only take bribes to look the other way while a child sex grooming/trafficking ring ran under their noses.
They’d have certainly balked at the idea that some of these highly placed state and federal officials were participants in the child grooming/trafficking activity.
Will they be balking at that idea by the time the PCU starts dropping indictments of public officials?
We’ll see.
Whatever happened to “hard time”, also known as “hard labor”??
Although Ms. Maxwell was sentenced for sex trafficking, this is an anomoly for a well connect person.
My former attorney, Valerie Houghton has done way worse. She sex trafficked all of my children. The youngest was just two. When I tried to protect them, Ms. Houghton had me hacked, stalked, and assaulted.
I have found online at least 6 other children that this has happened to. The total must be much greater, as Ms. Houghton has been a “family counselor” for much longer.
I hope that one day all child predators will be stopped from doing this, regardless of their connections.
You can read more about what happened to me and my kids here:
https://forum.legaljunkies.com/forum/family-law-divorce-custody/child-custody-and-support/653143-valerie-houghton-sex-trafficked-all-of-my-kids-then-had-me-poisoned-when-i-complained
Wow. You’re the second person I know (the other one personally) who’s experienced this. God bless you and your children.
Maxwell is not even as close to being dangerous in comparison to attorneys like Valerie Houghton. When sex trafficking happens in a court of law, recourse becomes difficult, if not impossible.
Maxwell’s victims were at least able to escape the abuse at some point.
Imagine being 2, 9, 11, or 13 years old and being stuck with a sexual abuser by court order. Valerie doesn’t have a conscience. To this day, there has not even been an emergency screening. I keep asking for one. But since a judge is involved in all of this, every request has been refused.
I firmly believe that what happens in court is a reflection of what happens in society. People like Maxwell would likely never be so brazen about abusing young children if the courts could set a better example of how to behave.
In the meantime, I continue to fight to protect all of my children.
Although Epstein did not receive an appropriate sentence in Florida, the plea did put him on the sex offender registry. This warning may have averted many more children from being sexually abused.
If an attorney (like Valerie Houghton) finds out about abuse, they make more money by concealing it. Said attorneys can extort the offender until the children turn 18. They can name their price. No one wants to go to jail.
On the flip-side, if the attorney would protect the kids, the custody/ visitation aspect of the divorce would be over.
Parents have a strong instinct to protect their children. Naturally, they will go to the ends of the earth to protect them. These attorneys know that and will do anything to silence them.
I was cut out of my children’s lives. After I asked the judge to tell me why I could not contact my kids, he and his clerk spent several minutes searching on their computers, but could not provide me with an answer of ANY kind.
I was recently able to contact my eldest son because he turned 18. He confirmed being sexually abused. I told him to go to the police and report it. About a week and half later, the judge ON HIS OWN ACCORD filed an order that I could only have supervised visitation with my ADULT son. There was no hearing or motion filed.
I came across a similar case that Ms. Houghton was involved in. A child had reported sexual abuse. When the parent tried to protect her children, she lost all custody. The child’s attorney (Houghton) sought and received a restraining order against the protective parent. The protective parent was also ordered to receive therapy. It was stated in the order that the alleged abuse was not DISPROVED.
https://lawzilla.com/blog/michael-terpko-v-jaime-gay/comment-page-1/#comment-2407
In a subsequent case, 3 young girls were sexually abused. They were not able to take any action until after they turned 18.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20795180-2019-10-25-complaint
Valerie was the expert witness that derailed the protective parent’s efforts to protect the children.
https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/valerie-r-houghton-lmft-san-jose-2?select=he8Vjk0sCPE2WJUopYKxlQ
She’s been doing this for over 30 years. There have to be many, many more victims, but no one seems to care enough to prevent it from continuing.
Dear God, pray for them.
They need all the prayers that they can get. Mine have yet to be answered.
The only thing that I have received is retaliation. I have been hacked, stalked and assaulted. You can see here what they did to me: https://archive.ph/RtpYi
Valerie isn’t even bashful about it: https://archive.ph/WQYiu
I have also had charges filed against me without having committed a crime. They also raised my child support obligations to leave me with just $300 a month to live off of: https://archive.ph/DjmGz
Ms. Houghton did the same to another man who alleges that she misappropriated $10,000,000 from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEg1fTduQp0&t=245s
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6981163-HoughtonIndictment-Docket
Less than a money after the man asked for his money back, he was charged with raping a pregnant woman with a golf club. He was in jail for 8 days and spent $3,000,000 before he was found factually innocent.
I would prefer to deal with any other type of criminal. At least when you report a crime, the authorities won’t ignore retaliation.
The intention of bringing criminal charges against me was to quickly bring the matter to competency proceeedings.
Ms. Houghton indicated on several occasions that she would have me declared mentally incompetent. Please see this social media post that Ms. Houghton directed me to view: https://archive.ph/J0LTf
Under California Penal Code section 236.1, “the abuse or threatened abuse of the legal process” to sex traffic children is unlawful.
https://california.public.law/codes/ca_penal_code_section_236.1
I had refused to undergo a psychological evaluation due to this statute.
Nonetheless, Dr. Lyn J. Mangiameli submitted to the record a determination that I was mentally incompetent. He never met or spoke to me. Dr. Mangiameli didn’t even use an assessment.
https://archive.ph/M246J
https://archive.ph/N5J7q
He didn’t care about what it meant for my children.
Here is the link regarding the man who was charged with raping a pregnant woman with a golf club.

Now the man is suing Ms. Houghton.

Valerie just doesn’t see anything wrong with doing this to children. My son is now suicidal. She said, “It’s not rape if they want it.”
You can see what she posted to her personal blog after I told her that my ex was letting a man rape our 13 year old son. https://archive.ph/LOT2Q
Watch her joke that “molesting [kids] is not reportable” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXf6uJWuYbk
She has no shame.
I have been begging for the district attorney of our county to stop the malicious prosecution and protect my children. He is accusing me of violating a restraining order by texting a third party. He failed to include in his complaint texts that instruct the recipient to not forward any of the messages to anyone else.
Deputy District Attorney Daniel Chung was at one point on my case. I gave him all the information about the assaults and what was happening to my kids. Because he seemed like an honorable man, I asked him for help.
A few weeks later, it was announced that he had been fired and escorted out of the DA’s Office by three armed investigators. A BOLO was issued and he was banned from setting foot on county property.
https://sanjosespotlight.com/santa-clara-county-da-accused-of-retaliating-against-deputy/
Mr. Chung ended up running for District Attorney this year. During one of the debates, I asked the candidates how they would address sex trafficking that results from abuse of the legal system.
I believe that he answered the question truthfully in an indirect fashion. He mentioned conflicts of interest and judges acting egregiously.
Then it was the DA’s turn. The first thing that he said was that Mr. Chung was “demonstrating why he was fired.” You can see the question and answer in this short clip.
I had posted complaints on the judge’s Robing Room webpage. Here are a couple of responses that I received:
“The district attorney would sooner investigate you than do anything to protect a child against a judge’s wishes. They cower in fear to these judges who control their livelihood. The common person means nothing to them.”
“Unfortunately, the court sees evidence that the man holding custody raped and drugged someone in the past as “ancient history.” Although in the court of public opinion we all know your child should not be with such a person, the court doesn’t care. This is the root of injustice–the discrepancy between how the court thinks versus a reasonable person’s common sense.”
http://www.therobingroom.com/california/Judge.aspx?id=15387
Dr. Lyn J. Mangiameli had a duty to the state to only write a report that met ethical and scientific standards set by the California Board of Psychology. Since he failed to do so, he should have never made the taxpayer flip the bill for his report.
I’ve asked him to return the money and retract the report, but he is refusing to do so.
Please sign the following petitions in support of the Judicial Council terminating its contract with this psychologist. The state of California deserves better.
https://www.change.org/p/judicial-council-of-california-please-stop-contracting-with-dr-lyn-mangiameli?recruiter=1275568634&recruited_by_id=656d5ce0-2a36-11ed-a0cd-dd224c5705f7&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_for_starters_page&utm_medium=twitter
https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/judicial-council-please-do-not-contract-with-dr-lyn-mangiameli?just_launched=true
I found a direct quote from Dr. Mangiameli in 2019. He is reflecting on his emotions after volunteering during a wild fire.
“After my fire, sensitive to feeling everything I had built, acquired, and nurtured had been stripped from me, I came up with a list of three things I believed could never be taken from me:
1. The memories of the experiences I have had. This belief made me determined to have a life filled with experiences and adventure.
2. The knowledge and skills I acquire.
3. My integrity. My reputation may go up and down in the judgement of others, but my integrity is a contract with myself. Only I can diminish it, and sometimes I have paid a high price in my refusal to do so.”
https://ncps.org/newsletter/article/472/unspoken-physical-and-emotional-aftermath-wild-fires-unique-perspective
How can he say that he refuses to compromise on integrity?
Ms. Houghton demanded that I retain an attorney for the criminal proceedings against me so that she could instruct the attorney to raise a doubt to stand trial. I didn’t want to lose my standing to protect my children. When I refused, she poisoned and terrorized me.
I begged District Attorney Jeffrey Rosen to enroll me into Cal-WRAP or drop the charges. I provided that names of two ER doctors that could confirm the assaults, Ms. Houghton’s social media posts, police reports, and other information. Mr. Rosen already knew about the sexual abuse of my kids, but he just ignored me.
In order to end the proceedings against me, I set the matter for trial. Deputy District Attorney Joseph Eisenberg then tried to plea bargain with me. One of the stipulations was that competency proceedings be initiated. After I refused his offer, DDA Eisenberg raised a doubt, himself. Judge Barnum denied said request.
I begged Mr. Eisenberg to consider my children. He showed no emotion and ignored my pleas.
Right before the subsequent disposition hearing, DDA Eisenberg attempted to plea bargain with me again. Then he raised raised yet another doubt. Judge Geffon denied his request.
That didn’t stop DDA Eisenberg from raising a doubt at a third consecutive hearing that followed more plea bargaining. This time judge Pennypacker granted the request and transferred the matter to competency proceedings.
Plea bargaining is purely discretionary. Why would Mr. Eisenberg plea bargain with me if he was so concerned with my rights being violated at trial? Why did he ignore two previous rulings?
I promptly filed a motion to transfer the matter back to the trial court. I cited the previous rulings that denied the doubt. At the next hearing, the judge continued my motion and appointed me counsel against my objection.
At the subsequent hearing the newly appointed attorney refused to argue my motion. She also asked the court to appoint a psychologist to evaluate my competency to stand trial.
I then filed a writ of mandate with the the 6th District Court of appeals. I included the information about the sexual abuse of my children, as well as Ms. Houghton’s threats to tamper with any evaluation. The motion was denied. You can read the motion here: https://archive.ph/ZPgjR
Shortly after the denial, the motion was purged from the court record: https://archive.ph/1AY82
An appeal to the Supreme Court of California was denied, as well
I have been complaining to many government officials and other relevant parties. No one cares enough to stop this madness. The list includes the Commission on Judicial Performance, the State Legislature, the District Attorney of Santa Clara County, the Attorney General of California, the local news media, the State Bar, the police, the FBI, the California Board of Psychology, The California Board of Consumer Affairs, the Supreme Court of California, and many more.
I urge anyone who has been affected by Valerie Houghton, Judge James Towery, or Dr. Lyn J. Mangiameli to write an email to these parties. Even if you just don’t agree with how they have acted, voicing your opinion can help. You can write the email anonymously.
Here is a comprehensive list of emails. All the contacts are already aware of the misconduct. https://archive.ph/VKsMQ
The list is long. You can use Gmail to include the entire list.
You can view many of the social media posts that I was directed to view. There are 70+ screenshots to scroll through.

Valerie Hougthon sued someone in 2017 for falsely claiming that she misappropriated $2275.25.
https://archive.ph/2DX1z
https://trellis.law/doc/35541196/Declaration-In-Support-of-Valerie-Houghton
I would like to be fair to Ms. Houghton. Perhaps she would like to respond to these posts to defend herself. A screenshot of this page and URL will be emailed to valerie@valeriehoughton.com.
During my divorce I told Valerie Houghton and Leah Amini (my other attorney) that my now ex-wife was letting an older man molest 13 year old my son. The two attorneys mostly ignored my pleas.
Marie O’Leary (visitation supervisor) would not allow me to talk to my son about it during visitation.
At the next hearing, my ex-wife not only agreed to disclose that she had hidden $130,000 worth of gold coins, but also agreed to stipulate that the coins be divided.
I was in complete shock. No one ever mentioned anything about gold coins before the hearing. I never thought that I would see them again because my ex-wife is greedy.
We each got $25,000 worth. The remaining $80,000 went to Ms. Amini to be held in trust.
Ms. Houghton had threatened me about firing her or Ms. Amini, but at that point I did so anyway. Ms. Houghton went on to represent my ex-wife without disclosure to me – and I was subsequently cut off from my children. I have not seen 3 of them in over eight years.
My son recently turned 18, so I was able to speak with him. He confirmed that he had indeed been molested.
Instead of filing a request for an emergency screening, Ms. Houghton was only concerned about getting assets placed into trust.
The judge had a conflict of interest and refused to recuse himself from my case. You can read the lawsuit that I filed against Judge Towery here:
https://en.calameo.com/read/006718309538d136d3b0c
https://en.calameo.com/read/006718309b846b5200bda
Since Judge Towery is refusing to order an emergency screening to protect my children, I’ve asked the Commission on Judicial Performance to write him an advisory letter.
Gregory Dresser and Judge Michael Harper have previously refused to open an investigation for the obvious misconduct. I am no longer pressing for that. All I want is for my kids to be protected.
They ordered a full investigation and started formal proceedings for a judge who posted improper political tweets. https://cjp.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2021/09/OGara_DO_Pub_Adm-_9-14-2021.pdf
But so far they have failed to write a simple letter that will protect my children from being sexually abused.
Judge Towery has a history of putting children in danger and abusing his power.
He once ordered a hearing to be put on calendar for MIDNIGHT. (see the order) https://archive.ph/2Zsgl
When the mother could not attend because the courthouse was closed, this judge made a ruling by default. As a result, sole custody of her child went to an incarcerated man who was not the biological father and not the father listed on the birth certificate. The mother was completely cut out of the child’s life.
The child went on to live the jailed man’s relative and was allegedly physically and sexually abused. (see pic) https://archive.ph/4hJXa
Someone posted this story in a video that I found online. They interviewed the attorney who represented the mother. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qULmfLltwPA
I emailed the order (https://archive.ph/2Zsgl) + the link of the video to all of the CJP’s members. I also included it in a separate complaint using the CJP’s official online portal. https://cjp.ca.gov/online-complaint-form/
These people just don’t have a heart to be allowing a judge to be doing this to children.
I am being retaliated against further.
My youngest daughter (who I share with another mother) is under the legal custody of a man who previously drugged and raped a teen.
Said mother understands the danger of allowing this man to have parental rights to our daughter. She came to court and agreed to my motion to establish paternity. But before we could sign a stipulation, we were rushed into the courtroom.
The judge acknowledged the memo from the mediator indicating that she agreed by referring to the defect and waiver of service. Then the judge DENIED the motion.
I am being treated like a criminal for not wanting to ruin my standing to protect my kids.
After Dr. Lyn Mangiameli entered a fraudulent report into the court record, I refused to participate in the proceedings in fear of what it would mean for my kids. My court appointed attorney (who I am forced to have) signed a mental health treatment agreement on my behalf and without my consent.
I have already spent 5 days in jail for refusing to be evaluated by Dr. Mangiameli. Now I have a warrant for my arrest.
I don’t even have a criminal record, nor have I committed a crime to constitute these proceedings.
https://archive.ph/4MmvV
If Jeffrey Epstein had become a judge, he would have never been caught. No reporter would have written the story and all of his victims would have been assaulted and/ or legally abused until they became silent.
My kids are treated like Judge Towery’s property to do with as he pleases. No one will ever get in his way.
When Ms. Houghton applied for and received a state license to be marriage and family therapist, she entered into an agreement with the state to be a mandated reporter of child abuse.
Much like a firefighter is expected to put out fires, we expect that stopping child abuse to be a knee-jerk response. Allowing the abuse to continue has an exponential effect on the community.
(1) Children continue to be abused and can become abusers themselves (2) The abuser abuses other children without abatement (3) The DA’s Office and other authorities learn that sometimes it is permissible to sexually abuse children and may provide leniency in subsequent cases
Most people take the short view. It’s not happening to their own children, so they don’t have to worry about it. You can use pollution as a good example of this.
If a river is polluted, you never know how it can affect you. The pollution could affect the drinking water in your home. It could enter the drinking water at your friend’s house, or even a restaurant that someone you know visits.
People like Valerie, Judge Towery and Dr. Mangiameli are selfish. They only care about their own interests. Said interests only have a microscopic value of significance compared to the overall picture.
I just got done watching the Jeffrey Dahmer series on Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/title/81287562
Although Ms. Houghton is not a cannibal, it reminded me of my experience with her: (1) poison (2) rape (3) stalking (4) compulsive lying (5) lack of empathy
The number of victims reached 17. Dahmer’s neighbors repeatedly reported to the police what was going on, but nothing was done. One time the police even returned to Dahmer a 14 year victim after he escaped.
I can’t emphasize enough what a horror this has all been for me. I wish that I had never met her.
Most people don’t understand how it can work in family court. The judge is like a poker dealer. He expects a tip after every hand and for the lawyers to keep coming back to the table to play.
Had the confirmed child molestation been properly addressed, the custody proceedings would have been finished and the ability to extort my ex would not exist.
The biggest reason that they do this is BECAUSE THEY CAN.
A judge is like a king in Santa Clara County. He/ she can influence judges, government agencies, and lawyers to destroy anyone who complains about misconduct. The laws that make our community a place of civility are completely arbitrary.
I found another case that Valerie Houghton was involved in.
A parent witnessed an in-law sexually molesting his infant daughter. Before he could go to the police, he was served with a restraining order and POISONED. He lost all the pigmentation in his face and became diabetic from arsenic poisoning.
See what happened to his face here: archive.ph/EL1Tz
The man was also hacked and stalked. He moved to another area just to get away. The father was also prosecuted after a false allegation of a restraining order was made. In the end, a lifetime restraining order was made against him.
Now the pedophile has unfettered access to the child.
There is more info on his website here: http://www.freearianna.org

I agree with some of the above comments. Maxwell deserved that prison sentence. Some of the other comments comparing the Maxwell-Epstein case to Family Law were also on point. As a society, we really do need to start recognizing that the only focus should be on the end result, not the the process, the people, or the titles of the people. Once we remove the distinction, it will be more possible to lessen the number of children harmed by sex trafficking. I found this webpage about family law cases. If any reader thinks that there is a distinction between that and what Maxwell did, I would love to hear your logic. https://frankreport.com/2024/05/07/designer-child-trafficking-why-are-the-family-courts-immune/
I don’t know what people are talking about.
There is no sex trafficking listed on this website.

A complaint was made to the State Bar against Ms. Houghton:

The State Bar of California defers responsibility to the District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
Here is what they wrote:

Ms. Houghton is now free to harm whomever she wants.

With hacking, a nefarious lawyer can monitor and abuse any target 24/ 7.
Digital HQ appears to be nothing but a shell company. Hillary Applegate is an expert hacker working with her mother and other lawyers to destroy people’s lives. She is doing the same things that Jeffrey Epstein did to make financial transactions and appear to be a legitimate business person.
Mr. Epstein also formed a fake company (Southern Trust) to sex traffic children.
“Southern Trust, in fact, appeared to perform no informatics or data mining services during this period,” the documents read. “Instead, Southern Trust funded the Epstein Enterprise, acting as a conduit for payment to foreign women, credit cards, airplanes, and other instrumentalities.”

Digital HQ seems to be growing at a breakneck pace. They have “contractors” in Ohio, Seattle, Arizona, Louisiana, New York City, and Chicago.
Hillary Applegate goes through extreme lengths to make it seem like she is a tech executive. She even pays people to write online articles about her.
Just see what it costs to get “Canvas Rebel Magazine” to write an article for you.
3 articles for $1350/month + $1500 one-time strategy fee
5 articles for $2150/month + $1500 one-time strategy fee
7 articles for $3000/month
10 articles for $4000/month
15 articles for $5500/month

Here is the latest example: an article written by “Authority Magazine”. To be featured in this magazine, you need to pay $2500 per month. The magazine, in turn, handles all the writing and editing on the topics of your choice.

It seems like all the articles that exist online about Hillary Applegate and Digital HQ are all paid for by Ms. Applegate, but she refers viewers of her website to read about her in the “news”.
Just see what she writes on her website:
“As seen in the news.
MEDIA AND PRESS
We’ve talked about ourselves enough.
Check out what’s being said about Digital HQ in the media and press.”

Just when I thought that things couldn’t get worse, the Houghton’s are now threatening to kill my kids.
Here is a threatening twitter post by Valerie Houghton that I was directed to view. She appears to be threatening to kill my kids if I don’t shut up about the child molestation. The 3 attachments to her post are clear.
The first one references making red shoes out of the skins of murdered kids.
The second one references child molestation.
The third one references shutting up.

I’ve been reporting all of this to several law enforcement agencies. No one seems to care. I am living in a nightmare.
Is there someone reading this that can help? I know that it’s a hail marry, but I don’t know what else to do.
One of the persons stalking me donned a t-shirt emblazoned with a logo from the De Catroverde Law Group. I was aware that a lawyer must be involved because Ms. Houghton had engaged another attorney to conduct the stalking during my time in Los Angeles, so I urged Alex De Castroverde law to refrain from contacting me.

Mr. De Castroverde has not responded nor has he denied that Ms. Houghton is his client.

Below is the web address for Mr. De Castroverde.

Today, I reached out to the district attorney of Washoe County for assistance regarding this situation. Hopefully, he will be willing to provide support.
