Dear Mr. Karoutas, Since your firm has received $70,000 or more since 27th October, 2025, to help with communications and image for the judiciary, perhaps you can provide answers to the following questions: 1) When is the Supreme Court going to hear the complaint I have against Jane Young for Conflicts of Interest in her … Read more
Dear Mr. Conforti, You state that “the City plays no formal role in State Legislative activity”. This is contradicted by the following: Councilor Schultz is an elected official for the State House. Mayor Jim Bouley’s firm Dennehy & Bouley is a paid lobbyist for/against bills presented to the legislature. Steve Shurtleff was both a councilor, … Read more
Executive Councilor Janet Stevens has been chasing the Berlin Police Department through 91-A for details on domestic violence protocols followed or not followed by the police prior to Marisol Fuentes’ murder by her husband. The Berlin Police Department is denying access to records, citing privacy issues for Marisol Fuentes. Executive Councilor Janet Stevens is now … Read more
An Open Letter to the NHCADSV in response to their FB Post on the Murder of Sandra Marisol Fuentes Huarache Your Facebook post alleging concern over Sandra Marisol Feuntes Huaracha’s murder is fickle. You’ve sat on countless pointless “task forces” ordered by Governor after Governor, AG after AG and the unfortunate truth is that these … Read more
How come the NHCADSV is silent in this one? They get so many millions from DCYF to, in part, train DCYF employees, I understand. DCYF failed to vet foster care parents for sex offender registry status, criminal records – per U.S. DHHS OIG reports. NHCADSV said and did nothing, but I get labeled as a … Read more
Hi Damien [Fisher], Re: YDC Abuse Victims Tell Supreme Court State Broke Promises Do you know how Nixon Peabody are allowed to represent the plaintiffs at all in the YDC cases? It’s a supreme conflict of interests. Not a minor one. A massive one. Nixon Peabody’s own client, NHCADSV, is contracted with DCYF and DOC … Read more
The NHCADSV were the primary opposers to House Bill 1633, introduced by Rep. Ellen Read (D) and killed today by the Senate. The Bill was a simple no-brainer to allow victims of sexual assault better access (via a palm card or similar posted in the offices of public agencies) to know what their rights are … Read more
Dear Senators, I understand that HB1633 has been relegated to “further review”. I ask you this: This document shows that J. Grimbilas Strategic Solutions LLC made campaign donations to certain Senate candidates in 2023 on behalf of the NHCADSV, who paid it $6000 for lobbying. Apart from the fact that straw donating is strictly illegal … Read more
By J. Grimbilas for the NHCADSV Dear Rep. Sweeney, I’m concerned about dark money in New Hampshire’s politics. The Secretary of State provided the following 2023 RSA 15 declaration from J. Grimbilas Strategic Solutions LLC. It shows that J. Grimbilas received $6000 from the NHCADSV and that with that money, J. Grimbilas made donations as … Read more
Or Say I’m Exercising a “Jihad” In various attacks in the New Hampshire media by journalists associated with the Catholic Church, whose law firm, Nixon Peabody, also represents the NHCADSV, I have been called various names and been accused of a “Jihad” against the NHCADSV. Journalists should look up the meaning of a word before … Read more
I noticed the NH Journal article on School Districts that lied about its numbers. By comparison, NH Journal has been unwilling to look at NHCADSV’s numbers, which are all over the place and simply do not add up. The NHCADSV has provided wildly different numbers on the number of people it serves. Central Crisis Center … Read more
The NHCADSV has made a series of claims that are false – this undermines not only any perception about the NHCADSV but also risks undermining trust in the public agencies it works with: Sensationalist lies are very dangerous. They harm victims. They harm defendants. They harm women and children, they harm credibility, and they harm … Read more
The Criminal Justice Committee heard several bills on Friday relating to domestic and sexual violence. HB1651, HB1740, and HB1633 caught my attention [hearing video shared below]. First up was HB1651, introduced by Rep. Jennifer Rhodes. It was heavily supported by the NHCADSV, which had multiple lobbyists there on its payroll. They also had a three-person … Read more
The optics are not good for the Concord City Council, whose message for 2026 is to preserve the “Brand”…… https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/city-council-consider-removing-ward-5-councilor-concord-mayor-champlin The January 12th council meeting ended with fireworks: Ward 5 Council member Stacey Brown was called an “Agent of Chaos” by Mayor Byron Champlin. Councilmember at large, Amanda Grady Sexton, allegedly said “she was going … Read more
There has been no accountability in New Hampshire for the cover-up of corrupt police officers by the Attorney General’s Office. AG Gordon MacDonald stated in August 2018 that the list of Laurie List officers should remain private. He defied Judge Charles Temple’s opinion in April 2019 that the Laurie List should become public. Later, his … Read more
Look at the document “Woodlock – DM’s Partial Victim Impact Statement” that was submitted on the eve of James Woodlock’s sentencing last week by David Vicinanzo and Russ Rilee. It was sent to the media as well. The media link goes into Jane Doe #146’s lawsuit, which states that Woodlock sexually penetrated (raped) Jane Doe … Read more
On a purely technical level, Harmony Montgomery was a victim of human trafficking that resulted from dysfunctional family courts. Her mother, Crystal Sorey, was a drug addict, and the judge decided to send Harmony across state lines to her father, Adam Montgomery’s care. He was known to the State of New Hampshire agencies and courts … Read more
In other States, attorneys have had their licenses suspended for using media to influence judicial outcomes (eg, Steven D Silverman Esq, one of the attorneys with Chuck Douglas to sue St Paul’s, who had his license suspended by the DC Bar for using media to influence the Doe v. Cabrera sexual assault case. New Hampshire … Read more
The plot thickens for Gordon MacDonald, Jane Young, The Diocese of Manchester, and Edward Arsneault: RTK emails received start to reveal what’s going on. I am now in receipt of 6 pages of Right to Know emails from the Attorney General’s office. These are communications from that office regarding the Diocese of Manchester. While these … Read more
Gordon MacDonald must resign in the wake of the Woodlock Conviction – he is immoral and unfit. Youth Detention Center employee, James Woodlock, was convicted this week on 2 of three charges for being an accomplice to the sexual assault of David Meehan, who first came forward about his abuse at the center in 2017. … Read more
