$100 million + of public funds plus resources of multiple state agencies are at stake. I urge you to consider the following and act accordingly to prevent further abuse of public trust and funds:
The attached article regarding the YDC child sex abuse claims and the parties involved contains statements regarding a “Janus-faced position”.
I note:
“Meehan’s attorneys asked Judge Andrew Schulman in January to prohibit the state from undermining Meehan’s credibility and trustworthiness through cross-examination based on a legal doctrine that prevents a party from taking a position in one legal proceeding that contradicts a position it took in another.
“The State cannot be allowed to take a Janus-faced position — wholeheartedly proffering David’s allegations of abuse on the State’s criminal proceedings while disavowing or discrediting those same allegations in David’s civil action,” they wrote.”
The State has held this Janus-faced position several times before. But so have have attorneys suing the State (particularly David Vicinanzo, Chuck Douglas) and the NGOs they engage with from SNAP to NHCADSV.
They are collectively playing a game with public funds, public trust, children’s and families lives; defrauding the citizens to enrich themselves. This is abhorrent.
There have been no plans put in place to prevent this from happening again. What guarantee is there that ten or twenty years ago there will be more cover ups of child sex abuse by state employees discovered and another sign off on $100 million to deal with those?
So how does this Kids for Cash deal work. I will lay it out here from the case I investigated which led me to this discovery:
In 2015, State prosecutors (Catherine Ruffle, Joseph Cherniske under Merrimack County DA Scott Murray) stated in the criminal trial of NH v Owen Labrie, that St.Paul’s School (a private school with large endowment) was not on trial.
The State’s witnesses which it called to argue its charges against Owen Labrie included present, former students, and faculty of St Paul’s School.
According to records from NH v Owen Labrie (including a statement to the US Senate Judiciary Committee from the State’s primary witness/complainant: Chessy Prout) the prosecutor/s (Catherine Ruffle, Joseph Cherniske) allowed state witnesses tampered with by former AG Michael Delaney, to testify.
Although the prosecutors stated that St. Paul’s School was not on trial in August 2015 and used witnesses from the school to argue their case against Owen Labrie, their statements in sentencing (October 2015) contradicted this position. Instead of focusing on the defendant, they spent most of their sentencing statements portraying St Paul’s School as a den of rape culture. But the school was not on trial. The State took a Janus-Faced position. When they wanted witnesses from St Paul’s School to work with them to convict Owen Labrie, they said the school wasn’t on trial. When they were done with those witnesses and got to sentencing, they changed their minds because they saw a windfall coming down with civil suits. The lawyers for those civil suits sat in the criminal trial and trained Chessy Prout, the State’s primary witness and prosecutors.
In May 2016, DA Scott Murray stated that police and prosecutors had done a thorough investigation into St. Pauls School and found no other prosecutable misconduct apart from the alleged activities of Owen Labrie. Thus contradicting the statements made by the prosecutors to the judge, which were unsealed eight months after the trial. The entire goal of the trial was so that the NHCADSV could get inside St. Paul’s School and extort it with an in-house “compliance officer” spy who spends his afternoons hanging out at their office downtown Concord. I know this because I have been contacted by several who have been targets of this enterprise. AG Gordon MacDonald’s office was involved with it. So were Concord Police. So was UNH. So were civil attorneys Chuck Douglas (Chair of the NH Judicial Selection Committee), David Vicinanzo, Shaheen & Gordon (Jim Rosenberg, Timothy McLaughlin), Michael Delaney/McLane Middleton. Coincidentally, Timothy McLaughlin is the son of former AG Phil McLaughlin, who ordered the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into the Diocese of Manchester in 2002 and celebrated the “creative” solutions at his retirement party in 2015.
In June 2016, Chuck Douglas Esq, Steven D Silverman Esq, and Steven J Kelly Esq filed a lawsuit against St. Pauls School, which benefited from being leaked to the Concord Monitor, NBC Today Show, and Vice Media before the school (Michael Delaney) was aware such a suit existed. I believe that a public official for the City of Concord, Amanda Grady Sexton, was responsible for the leak. She had called the criminal trial an opportunity and she had managed to restrict access by media to the trial. Her husband’s news channel, WMUR, was granted exclusive TV access. Preference was given to Susan Zalkind of Vice Media over Paige Sutherland Of NHPR, whose tweets were used in an exhibit to petition to restrict media access. Amanda Grady Sexton had been the informant to the prosecutor about witness tampering by Michael Delaney. Amanda Grady Sexton’s organization- the NHCADSV- were beneficiaries of the verdict and sentencing since they receive grants for Sex Offender Registration Management and from the Office of Violence Against Women.
In July 2017, AG Gordon MacDonald (who dismissed YDC child abuse as “victim negligence”), ordered a Grand Jury Criminal Investigation into St Paul’s School. He cited discovery from the investigation into Owen Labrie to substantiate the necessity. The NHCADSV had lobbied him for the investigation, suggesting that the NHCADSV – a lobbyist- had access to the discovery. The NHCADSV’s attorney, David Vicinanzo, represented members of St Paul’s faculty during the investigation. The NHCADSV’s and Amanda Grady Sexton’s other attorneys, Shaheen & Gordon, represented the witness who had been allegedly tampered with by former AG Michael Delaney in the trial.
State prosecutors, the NHCADSV, Concord PD, civil attorneys at Shaheen & Gordon (Jim Rosenberg, Timothy McLaughlin), Nixon Peabody (David Vicinanzo), McLane Middleton (Michael Delaney), Douglas & Leonard (Chuck Douglas) and the AG’s office (Gordon MacDonald, Jane Young, Geoffrey Ward) have been involved in playing all sides to their advantage from criminal trial to civil suit to Grand Jury Criminal Investigation and Settlement. This is straightup racketeering and profiteering that is extremely well documented in public records.
I believe it is imperative for public disclosure of the arrangements between the above mentioned parties- including correspondence and financial disclosures- before the YDC criminal and civil trials commence. The arrangements in the St Pauls and Owen Labrie cases seem to reflect similar arrangements in the Diocese of Manchester cases in 2002. Indeed, on the website of State Witness/Complainant Chessy Prout’s non-profit ihavetherightto.org there is a statement from September 15,2018 which draws the link between the Diocese Grand Jury Criminal Investigation and settlement agreement and the St Paul’s one. This proves that Chessy Prout’s non-profit and statements made by it were done in collusion with public officials, non-profits and attorneys in New Hampshire who had knowledge of that agreement which was made when Chessy Prout was 4 or 5 years old.
Gordon MacDonald dismissed YDC complainants for “victim negligence”. Any criminal case concerning YDC could end up appealed by the NH Supreme Court where he presides as Supreme Court Chief Justice.
In November 2019, I met S. Daniel Carter, who was an advisor to the White House “Not Alone” task force, which was officially partnered with UNH Prevention Innovation Research Center. This center is partnered with the NHCADSV. He informed me that the real interest in NH v Owen Labrie (and why his partner Laura L Dun attended the trial with Steven J Kelly Esq) was in St Paul’s School as opposed to Owen Labrie himself. Statements made by State prosecutors and UNH Law Professors, as well as the NHCADSV, corroborate this.
The State, Concord Police, the NHCADSV, and Civil Attorneys were interested in Government control of St Paul’s School and an extortion enterprise to drain St Paul’s School of its funds. This would have come out on July 18, 2019, on ABC/GMA, except that public official Amanda Grady Sexton stepped in to get ABC to block it from airing.
The State, NHCADSV, Civil Attorneys are interested in money, not justice in the YDC cases. Just as they were with St Paul’s School, Phillips Exeter Academy, the Diocese of Manchester and Dartmouth College.
There must be a transparent (ideally) federal investigation of the parties involved who benefited from the Diocese of Manchester investigation, the St Paul’s School investigation, the Phillips Exeter Academy investigation, the Dartmouth College Rapuano & Does settlement before their further participation in the YDC Civil and Criminal trials proceeds.
