12 discrimination against female protective parents and their children in family and
13 juvenile courts. In September 2014, this writer filed a request with the California
14 Supreme Court to remove former San Bernardino Judge Craig Kamansky as a
15 MCLE provider, teaching, of all topics, ethics to attorneys. Barry did so, because
16 of Kamanskys notorious reputation as a pedophile. Kamansky settled a case
17 brought by Jason Bumpus in this Court for $300,000.00 who alleged that while
18 sitting as a juvenile court judge, Kamansky had made Bumpus his ward and then
19 raped and sodomized him.
20
18.
This writer understands that Kamansky was willing to risk a jury trial
21 until he learned that two sisters, the Harris sisters, were prepared to testify he
22 sexually abused them also.
23
19.
20.
27 Cantil-Sakauye did not just deny Barrys request, she struck it. The Chief Justice
28 has sent a message loud and clear to the mothers and children Barry represents and
6
1 to Barry, that childrens lives do not matter, especially those children who are
2 sexually abused like A.D., like Bumpus, and like the Harris sisters. The justice
3 prefers to support Kamansky, the alleged pedophile. Bumpus ended up taking his
4 own life. His life definitely did not matter to the state legal establishment. The
5 only court where he received any justice was this Court.

7 Purcell, and Epstein, ruled that Attorney Gary Grants plea of guilty to possession
8 of child porn was NOT moral turpitude. He was suspended for three years, with
9 actual suspension for two years. The judges, two women and one man, appeared
10 to buy into his bogus defense of being a sex/love addict. See pp.6-7 of the ruling.
11 Sex and love were not the issue, even addiction to either or both. A crime against
12 children was.
13
22.
14 the Review Court and disbarred him, while retaining Kamansky who is alleged not
15 only to possess child porn like Grant, but actually sexually abused at least three, if
16 not more, children using his judicial authority to obtain custody of the children
17 for the sole purpose of sexually abusing them.
23.
18
Thus, female (for the most part) protective parents and their
19 children suffering from sexual abuse do not stand a chance. It in this so-called
20 justice system in which Dillon and A.D. found themselves when Srikureja began
21 his campaign to wrest custody from Dillon so that he was free to molest A.D. at
22 his pleasure.
23
24.
Although the Court awarded Dillon sole custody of A.D. when she
24 was nine months old, after Srikureja filed a motion for modification of custody in
25 2010, Dillon agreed to joint custody. A.D. then began to disclose that Srikureja
26 was sexually abusing her. A.D. reported on multiple occasions that she was being
27 sexually abused by Srikureja. A.D. exhibited physical symptoms of sexual abuse,
28 and two medical professionalsthe childs psychologist and her treating
7
1 physician firmly believed that the abuse was real. And yet the court awarded
2 sole custody of A.D. to Srikureja.
3
25.
This is consistent with the nation wide, state wide, county wide
4 pattern and practice of awarding custody to the alleged abuser and punishing the
5 protective parent, almost exclusively, the mother, by denying her access to the
6 child she is trying to protect and turning the child over to the abuser.
7
26.
8 for his betrayal of his vulnerable clients and support of abusive fathers, Srikurejas
9 close friend with a MFT license, his two sisters, nannies, a police officer, members
10 of the D.A.s office, social workers, and visitation monitors participated in a
11 conspiracy to hide and suppress all the evidence of A.D.s abuse, to insure that
12 Dillon and A.D. would not have access to each other, and Srikureja would have
13 custody of A.D. despite the fact she repeatedly disclosed that Srikureja was
14 sexually abusing her.
15
27.
28.
Rackauckas and Stokke, who not only contributes but also raises
19 campaign funds for Rackauckas, have informally agreed that Stokkes clients will
20 generally not be prosecuted or they will enter into a collusive sweetheart plea
21 agreement for Stokkes clients. Srikureja also may well have donated campaign
22 funds to Rackauckas.
23
29.
24 29, 2013 one day after Tustin Police Dept informed the D.A. it was
25 recommending prosecution of Srikureja on six felony counts of sex abuse of A.D.
26 He is not a citizen of Canada but rather of Thailand. The United States will not
27 allow him to re-enter the country.
28
30.
1 L. Waltz (J. Waltz) and Judge Glenn R. Salter (J. Salter) , assigned to the
2 family law department of Court were willing participants in this conspiracy.
3
31.
4 custody and ruling that Dillon had coached A.D. to allege charges of sexual abuse
5 against Srikureja began unraveling in J. Salters courtroom. The custodial parent
6 was nowhere around and not enforcing his right of custody. There was enormous
7 negative publicity in newspapers, on T.V., on the internet, and the radio against J.
8 Salter, the court, the D.A., and LaFlamme. A review of the Robing Room ratings
9 of J. Salter are among the worst any judge has received, given what this writer has
10 reviewed, about 48 ratings, only 3 of which are positive, and the rest, extremely
11 negative and mostly about what he was doing to Dillon and A.D.
12
32.
Judge Salter began to attack and threatened all those who supported
13 A.D., including Dean Tong, a former potential expert witness for Srikureja,
14 Merritt McKeon, who at one time served as Dillons appellate attorney, Allan
15 Gleisinger, who is Dillons husband, Ron Funk who took on the case in J. Salters
16 courtroom in 2014 and also filed writ petitions and briefs in the Court of Appeals,
17 and Thea Reinhart, who was A.D.s court-appointed therapist whose opinion was
18 that A.D. was credible, Dillon should have exclusive custody, and Srikureja had
19 most likely molested A.D. and should be placed in supervised visitation.
20
33.
34.
1 of course is not a blood relation of A.D. On information and belief, she is abusive
2 to A.D. because she, along with Srikurejas sister Pravit, refuse to accept that
3 Srikureja sexually abused A.D. and are punishing her for saying he did.
4
35.
5 one in California has an order of custody and no one knows where A.D. is. She
6 may well be out of state or out of the country since she is not registered in any
7 school in Napa. J. Salter has disappeared A.D.
8
36.
Another way that female protective parents, like Dillon, and their
9 abused children, like A.D. lose out is the court itself in which the die is cast. In
10 this case, Police officers wanted to file, or perhaps had filed, a juvenile court
11 petition. Defendant social workers, working hand in glove and at the behest of
12 LaFlamme, possibly Rackauckas office, put the kibosh on the petition - twice.
13
37.
14 children, the mother goes on trial, not the father. The case becomes about the
15 mother reporting what her children are telling her, and not about what the father is
16 doing to the children.
17
38.
In the macabre ritual which child abuse cases have become in family
18 court, the mother is labeled with the scarlet A (alienator). The accused father
19 and his supporters need only label the mother an alienator, and immediately the
20 burden shifts to the mother to prove the negative, that she is not. The father
21 generally can avoid rebutting the forensic evidence accumulating against him
22 simply by attacking the mother.
23
39.
24 commissioner and two judges, they simply quashed the testimony of the childs
25 medical expert and her therapist by hijacking A.D.s privilege in a patriarchal
26 twist of the law turning her privilege against her in favor of the man abusing her.
27
40.
If the defendant social workers had not been a part of the gender-
28 based conspiracy to deprive Dillon and her daughter of due process and equal
10
1 protection, had a will to protect A.D., and had joined forces with the police to file
2 a petition in juvenile court, the outcome for A.D. and her mother would have been
3 the very opposite.
4
41.
Defendants forced Dillon and A.D. into the family law forum
5 knowing that civil rules of evidence apply and the focus was on Dillon, and not on
6 A.D.; whereas, dependency court has two hearsay exceptions which would have
7 allowed A.D.s out-of-court statements about sexual abuse into evidence.
8
42.
9 likely would have been admitted because they were disclosed to police officers,
10 social workers, and health care practitioners. And the exit order back to family
11 court would have been a permanent restraining order against Srikureja, supervised
12 visitation, and sole legal and physical custody of A.D. to Dillon.

Dillon is informed and believes and thereupon alleges that at all times
23 herein mentioned each of the defendants was the agent of each of the remaining
24 defendants, and in doing the things herein alleged, was acting within the scope of
25 his/her agency with one another.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
26
27
83.
In April 2005, Dillon left Srikureja when A.D. was 6 months old. In
28 July 2005, the Court awarded Dillon sole physical custody and Srikureja,
19
1 visitation.
2
84.
3 2010, Srikureja began sending bizarre texts to Dillon asking rhetorically what was
4 wrong with A.D. having sex and in what ended up to be prescient statements,
5 given his subsequent sexual abuse of A.D., that she would be having sex by the
6 time she turned seven.
7
7. Shortly after Srikureja filed his motion, Dillon and Srikureja signed a
8 stipulation providing for shared physical custody after Dillon was misled into
9 believing there had to be joint custody before a judge would order a custody
10 evaluation which she wanted. Shortly thereafter, A.D. reported incidents Dillon
11 found troubling, such as Srikureja sleeping naked in the same bed as A.D. with his
12 penis up against A.D.
13
85.
14 February 25, 2011, A.D. informed Dillon that she had been bleeding from her
15 rectum, and Dillon observed blood on the toilet A.D. had been using. Dillon
16 immediately took A.D. to the emergency room, where doctors diagnosed A.D.
17 with three anal fissures. The treating doctor informed Dillon that he had never
18 seen three fissures so large in his seventeen years of practice, and that the fissures
19 may have been caused by non-accidental trauma.
20
86.
The incident and the doctors diagnosis were reported to CPS that
21 same day. Malaban, the CPS investigator, ultimately deemed the possibility of
22 abuse unfounded because, according to CPS personnel, six-year-old A.D. did
23 not disclose sexual abuse when interviewed. Malaban failed to refer A.D. for a
24 forensic medical exam citing "the child most likely had perinatal fissures that bled
25 from constipation and an ongoing custody battle" although an ongoing custody
26 battle cannot cause fissures in a childs rectum. Malaban was unqualified to
27 conclude that it was constipation, and squelched a referral for a forensic sex abuse
28 examination of A.D. Malaban also failed to interview collateral contacts.
20
87.
88.
The Court also ordered both Dillon and Srikureja not to take A.D. to
89.
Srikureja defied the order and enlisted Coleman who has a California
8 MFT license and is Srikurejas close friend with whom he lived for three years to
9 engage in harmful, unethical, and fraudulent therapy with A.D. Coleman had 30
10 sessions with A.D. Dillon obtained six of Colemans "To Whom it May Concern"
11 letters which began in June 2011 and ended in May 2013.

90.
13 Stokke who provided them to Froeburg who on information and belief utilized the
14 letters in her investigation to conclude there was no or insufficient evidence to
15 prosecute Srikureja for sexual abuse of A.D. The dates of Colemans Letters
16 which Dillon was able to obtain are June 30, 2011, December 3, 2012, December

4 discuss ... the legalities that are powerful forces that tend to eliminate or modify
5 her God-given right to spontaneity, confidence, and joy. Whatever that sentence
6 may mean, there is no question it is Coleman and Srikureja who smothered
7 [A.D.]s God-given right to spontaneity, confidence, and joy when they forced
8 [A.D.] to sit with them to discuss her sexual abuse allegations against Srikureja.

95.
10 coaching, Judge Waltz had already placed Dillon in supervised visitation in July
11 2012, so that as of December 2012, A.D. had been in the exclusive clutches of
12 Coleman and Srikureja for five months.
13
96.
14 therapist was now defaming Reinhart, the authorized and legitimate court
15 appointed therapist, in her letter of same date claiming that [A.D.] had told her that
16 Reinhart told [A.D.] to keep her visit at [A.D.]s school a secret from Srikureja.
17 Reinhart was the therapist for A.D., not Coleman. Undermining Reinhart became
18 important since Reinhart had now reached the conclusion that A.D. was a victim
19 of sexual abuse.
20
97.
21 December 2012, Tustin Police Dept had removed A.D. from her fathers custody
22 twice, on August 23, 2012, filing an affidavit of good cause that she was in danger
23 in her fathers custody and then in November 2012. On both occasions, the police
24 department had also filed juvenile court petitions, both of which were quashed by
25 social worker defendants acting in concert with LaFlamme, DeArmey, and
26 possibly, Stokke, if not Rackauckas himself or a deputy acting at his direction.
27
98.
28 hands from Srikureja to Stokke and DeArmey, Stokke continued to raise campaign
22
1 funds for Rackauckas, and LaFlamme misappropriated federal and other public
2 funds to protect Srikureja. LaFlamme and Srikureja probablycontributed to
3 Rackauckas campaign coffers.
4
99.
5 to the growing body of evidence that Srikureja was sexually abusing A.D. was
6 that Dillon was coaching A.D. Their bias was obvious, particularly their financial
7 interest. Srikureja was paying these lawyers huge amounts of money and expected
8 results. They needed A.D. to say she was coached. Coleman came through for
9 them through her criminal interference with a witness, her deception and her
10 willingness to breach her code of ethics.
11
100. In her January 27, 2013, letter Coleman began, lightly, to state that
12 she now has learned that from A.D. that she was coached to lie about Srikureja.
13
101. Dr. Sheffner and Dr. Reinhart, the courts own experts, saw no
102. Coleman had to take action in the face of what the official experts and
23 the police department were saying. In her next letter dated April 14, 2013, almost
24 two years to the date that Coleman began her pernicious therapy, she ratcheted up
25 what she claimed A.D. was telling her: now the disclosures were because
26 Mommy made me do it.
27
103. Then, on May 30, 2013, Coleman made coaches out of anyone who
28 heard A.D. disclose that Srikureja was sexually abusing her - her mother, Dillons
23
1 husband Allen, Dillons friends Tanya Garrett and Sara Hill and A.D. was
2 forced to lie, be evasive and dishonest with Sheffner, Reinhart, and the police.
3 Coleman did not directly attack the official court appointees or the police; she just
4 made them dupes of the hapless little girl who was coached by so many people
5 the villains in the piece per Coleman.
6
106. Dr. Sheffner briefly commented on the reports of abuse (which were
22 limited at that point) and Srikureja s counter-allegation that Dillon had coached
23 A.D. to make those reports. Dr. Sheffner could not conclude either molestation or
24 coaching had occurred, but noted that he had not received the [CPS] reports.
25
107. On January 2, 2012, CPS received a new report that A.D. may be the
26 victim of abuse. The next day, CPS conducted a CAST interview with A.D.,
27 during which A.D. stated that Srikureja had inappropriately kissed and touched
28 her, including on her genitals. CPS ultimately found these reports inconclusive.
24
1 CPS cited the on-going custody battle as a basis for questioning A.D.s claims,
2 stating that it is unclear whether or not the sexual abuse has occurred due to the
3 on-going custody battle. which does not make sense, because a custody battle
4 cannot cause sexual abuse to occur. It occurred because Srikureja was molesting
5 A.D.. The custody dispute arose because A.D.s mother sought to protect A.D.
6 which Srikureja did not like.
7
108. On January 26, 2012, CPS received another report of potential abuse,
8 this one from Dr. Myron Kanofsky, a gynecologist who had examined A.D. Dr.
9 Kanofsky not only referred his concerns to CPS, but provided a declaration to the
10 trial court stating that he was so concerned for [A.D.s] wellbeing that the court
11 should immediately suspend Srikureja s visitation rights. Dr. Kanofsky
12 explained that after examining and speaking with then-seven-year-old A.D., her
13 reports of abuse were credible, and the doctor believed they were true. Pursuant
14 to Dr. Kanofskys referral, CPS conducted a second CAST interview on January
15 30, 2012. A.D. again reported inappropriate touching by Srikureja.
16
110. In January 2012, Dillon requested that the court suspend Srikureja s
111. The two witnesses at the hearing were Robert Munoz, CPSs liaison
28 to the family court, and Detective Bonnie Breeze. Munoz was not involved in the
25
1 investigations but somehow got away with summarizing the CPS reports to date.
2 Breeze, who had investigated some of the abuse reports, admitted she had no
3 direct evidence of coaching. She agreed with a statement of Srikureja s counsel,
4 however, that A.D.s inability to answer certain questions was consistent with
5 coaching. Breeze had no factual basis for making this opinion nor was she
6 qualified to render such an opinion.
7
112.
16 ignored letters from Dr. Sheffner in January and March 2012 informing her that
17 A. D. had consistently disclosed physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. She
18 asked rhetorically from the bench, What am I going to do with these letters?
19 This was the Courts expert and a mandated reporter. Yet, she did not compel the
20 Courts own expert to appear and testify on the issue of sexual abuse when he
21 could offer relevant evidence on the topic.
22
114. It did not come as any surprise that Comm. Wilson found there was
1 allegations insufficient, having herself seen to it that she would not hear from two
2 mandated reporters on the issue, Dr. Kanofsky and Dr. Sheffner. The
3 commissioner did not address Srikurejas claim that Dillon coached A.D. but still
4 changed custody to the father. The commissioner did order therapy for A.D.
5
115.
6 24, 2012 hearing Dr. Sheffner wrote the court recommending custody be switched
7 back to Dillon. In his letter dated March 9, 2012, to the court, Dr. Sheffner

evaluator I immediately called this hearing, what did you do? LaFlamme replied,

to live anymore.

Dillon was the primary caretaker and sole custodian of A.D. from her
birth in 2004 to age 6, when in November 2010 Srikureja sought
custody and Dillon was misled into stipulating to 50/50 physical
custody. After her father had A.D. fifty percent of the time, A.D.

visitation.
28
127. Thus, a mom who had sole custody of a child from her birth to age 6
30
1 lost custody and was placed in supervised visitation within a year and a half after
2 the father filed a motion for custody only because medical doctors reported that
3 her daughter was being sexually abused. The likelihood of A.D. suffering grave
4 emotional harm due to maternal deprivation was obvious.
5
6 and Dillon, besides manipulating the outcome in court with the judges as willing
7 participants. DeArmey having obtained the order of supervised visitation, La
8 Flamme personally selected Nash & Associates to monitor the visits between
9 Dillon and A.D. on or about July 20, 2012.
10
11 reports of abuse continued. On August 23, 2012, Dillon took A.D. to swim with
12 Dillons friend Tanya Garrett, and Garretts daughter. Stewart, LaFlammes
13 handpicked monitor, was present as well.
14
130. Outside of Dillon s presence, A.D. asked Garrett if she could tell
15 Garrett a secret, because her therapist said [she] needed to talk to a friend about
16 what is happening to [her]. A.D. then told Garrett, [w]hen I . . . see my dad I get
17 scared because he touches me on the inside and it hurts me. Garrett told A.D. to
18 repeat this statement to both Dillon and the monitor, and Dillon immediately
19 brought A.D. to the police station. CPS opened another investigation.
20
131.
Stewart called Nash who said to end the visit immediately and return
21 A.D. to her father in violation of her mandated reporting duties under the Penal
22 Code. Neither Stewart nor Nash made a mandated report. Dillon contacted
23 Newport Beach Police and an officer advised Dillon not to allow A.D. to be taken
24 to Srikureja and to bring her to Tustin Police Dept. immediately. Stewart
25 accompanied Dillon and A.D. to the Tustin Police Dept.
26
27 Dillon, A.D., and Dillons driver, Michael Cooper. Stewart claimed that A.D. told
28 her in the lobby of the police department that A.D. has a secret phone to call her
31
1 mother, and her mother coached her to make the allegation. CPS jumped on the
2 secret phone coaching by Dillon to use against A.D. It was a silly allegation,
3 bordering on the absurd since by this time, A.D., was now in the complete control
4 of Srikureja, Coleman, and Lockmer, the nanny, who were all watching A.D. like a
5 hawk. Coleman was grilling her on a regular basis. LaFlamme was orchestrating
6 the debacle.
7
133. Tustin Police Officer Singleton called in the referral to the child
8 Abuse Registery. Eitner was the emergency response social worker. Officer
9 Singleton stated to Eitner that Srikureja had been touching A.D. with his hands
10 and fingers inside her private body parts and that she had seen the father's penis.
11 A.D. stated she had to sleep in her father's bed at which time he touched her
12 inappropriately and that she was forced to make videotapes. Officer Singleton
13 also said that it would be reported the father takes close-up photographs of her
14 body parts. Singleton also stated that Lockmer the nanny did not feed her enough
15 food. The officer stated A.D. is quite obviously intelligent and articulate and he
16 found her to be credible in her account and report of abuse by her father.
17
18 had been sitting in the lobby of the Tustin Police Dept for almost eight hours.
19 Eitner described A.D. in her report as appearing to be awake and alert" knowing
20 full well she had to be awaken to conduct this interview.
21
135. During the interview AD reported physical and sexual abuse but
22 Eitner contacted the on-call supervisor Palmquist for consultation. Eitner told
23 Palmquist she had concerns about the child's credibility and the mother's
24 evasiveness, and the fact that the mother lost custody even though the loss of
25 custody was due to falsified testimony of Munoz and Breeze and the commissioner
26 barring Kanofsky from testifying.
27
136. Eitner cited concerns that the court did not follow Dr Sheffner's
28 recommendation that A.D. be placed back with her mother. Eitner also cited a
32
1 concern about the child not being returned to her mother, but then refused to
2 conduct an investigation, or at least speak to Dr Sheffner. Inexplicably, Eitner
3 stated that she did not feel comfortable taking A.D. into protective custody and
4 Palmquist concurred. Certainly, Eitner and Palmquist would have incurred the
5 wrath of an angry LaFlamme or possibly even Rackauckas if they had done so.
6
137. At this point Lt Tarpley stepped in and voiced his concerns that A.D.
7 had disclosed sexual abuse by her father to the social worker, his officer, and his
8 detective and vested his authority to take AD into protective custody without the
9 concurrence of the social workers(called a parachute).
10
11 protective custody. Officers filed a probable cause affidavit stating the reasons
12 why A. D. was in danger in Srikurejas custody. LaFlamme did not speak to the
13 detectives nor did he visit A. D. while she was at Orangewood, the Orange
14 County juvenile facility.
15
140. DeArmey did his part in poisoning the well at CPS if it could be said

141. The only true statement DeArmey made to Naganuma was that
LaFlamme was A.D.s attorney (of sorts) and Shirley was LaFlammes
investigator. The truth is that A.D. had only been taken to one police department
which was Tustin. No social worker to date had ever stated that the mother
coached the child although bordering on it.
142. On August 24, 2012, Naganuma received a call from Sanchez.
Sanchez stated that the child has already had two CAST interviews. She stated
that the mother was found to have lied and to have coached the child. At that
point DeArmey, LaFlamme, and Sanchez had no evidence that Dillon had
coached A.D. or had lied.
143. On August 24, 2012, Naganuma contacted DeArmey. DeArmey
defamed Dillon stating that she had visits at FACES, a visitation monitoring
agency, but was kicked out which was false. He said the appointed monitor Hector
Delgadillo quit because Dillon was not complying with the exchanges. Delgadillo
tries to extort mothers forced into supervised visitation for money. He does not
follow the law by taking notes during the visits and making contemporaneous
reports, thereby allowing him to falsify reports depending on what the
unmonitored parent, the social worker, or someone like LaFlamme wants him to
report.
144. Delgadillo had extorted Dillon for $540 to monitor a ten minute
exchange whereby A.D. walked from one car to the other. He quit only when
Dillon demanded a receipt documenting this outrageous payment to him.
145. DeArmey also falsely informed Naganuma that a doctor's notes stated
28
34
1 the child was stressed from being coached. He indicated that Srikurejas criminal
2 defense attorney is Al Stokke and that Stokke instructed Srikureja, not to talk to
3 anyone. However, Srikureja was in a civil proceeding. If he chose to take the
4 Fifth it could be used against him as evidence of his guilt. Yet, Srikureja was
5 accorded all of his rights as if he were in criminal court being prosecuted;
6 whereas, Dillon and A.D. were stripped of every possible constitutional and
7 statutory right guaranteed in the family code and in federal law.
8
9 which he writes "the purpose of this letter is to provide you with facts and identify
10 documentation to assist you with your investigation into the allegations made by
11 [A.D.] on August 23, 2012. Naganuma apparently was impressed by the
12 information in DeArmeys unsolicited letter because she repeatedly
13 unfounded A.D.s repeated disclosures of sexual abuse. The letter was filled
14 with factual inconsistencies, lies, and libel of Dillon.
15
147.
16 despite the fact that he was the attorney for the man A.D. was accusing of sexually
17 abusing her. Naganuma took no action to protect A.D. despite the mounting
18 evidence of Srikurejas sexual abuse of A.D.
19
148. On August 31, 2012, Eitner interviewed Carol Stewart the monitor.
20 Stewart confirmed the child disclosed allegations of sexual abuse by her father
21 during a monitored visit with her mother on August 23, 2012. She stated A.D. was
22 not alone with her mother anytime during the day at this visit or during the three
23 previous visits she monitored. She stated she was not aware of any coaching
24 occurring between the mother and the child on this day or previous days. Stewart
25 stated A.D. said, "when he touches me in my private parts, he puts his fingers in
26 me". Stewart said she believed that what A.D. was saying at that time was true.
27
149. Stewart also admitted that she called her employer Nash who told her
28 to end the visit and return A.D. to her nanny Lockmer. This in violation of the
35
1 Penal Code which requires that mandated reporters make a call to CPS Hotline.
2
150. After interviewing all the parties, Tustin Police Dept placed A.D. in
151. On or about August 25, 2012, Dillon provided Eitner text messages
8 Srikureja sent Dillon in 2009 or 2010 in which he stated that there was nothing
9 wrong with A.D. having sex. She will probably be having sex by the time she was
10 seven years old. Srikureja also accused Dillon of having sex orgies at her house.
11 Dillon both faxed and emailed them to Eitner. Eitner denied receiving the text
12 messages besides unfounding A.D.s report of sexual abuse.
13
152. On August 27, 2012, CPS conducted another CAST interview with
14 A.D. A. D. told the interviewer that Srikureja had previously put his fingers
15 inside her rectum, and that Srikureja had been touching her for as long as she can
16 remember. CPS grabbed at straws to deem A.D.s claims inconclusive such as
17 whether Srikureja provided A.D. sufficient food or toys. In accordance with its
18 long-time pattern and practice, of never finding sex abuse when it originates in a
19 family law case, CPS established for reports about A.D. a screener alert stating
20 in capital letters, CUSTODY DISPUTE.
21
22 releasing the child to her father. Astoundingly Glidden wrote: "Based on the lack
23 of evidence regarding abuse, it was decided that the application for petition would
24 be denied" Glidden was referring to the juvenile court petition filed by Tustin
25 Police Department on August 23, 2012.
26
154. On August 28, 2012, Dillon contacted Glidden. At that point she did
27 not know a juvenile court petition had been filed by Tustin Police Dept. Yet, CPS
28 records state Dillon learned on August 28, it was being dismissed which was
36
1 false. What Glidden did tell Dillon was that he would not be speaking with
2 Reinhart as LaFlamme claimed he held the privilege and not Reinhart as she
3 legally did, and would not release the privilege, which is nothing less than
4 covering up Srikurejas crime of sexual abuse.
5
155.
6 Sec.1027 applies. It is the therapist and not the child who holds the privilege
7 because only the psychotherapist knows whether she believes 1027s criteria are
8 satisfied. People v. Caplan, 238 Cal. Rptr. 478, 486 (Ct. App. 1987). J. Waltz
9 permitted LaFlamme to invoke a privilege which [he] no longer held. Id. Only
10 Dr. Reinhart could invoke the privilege, and she had made clear that she would not
11 have because 1027s criteria were satisfied, namely, that it was in the best
12 interests of the child to disclose her statements about sexual abuse during therapy.
13
156.
Later Dillon learned from Lieut. Tarpley that it was LaFlamme who
157. Dillon never learned about the secret phone allegation concocted by
19 Stewart and Nash (perhaps LaFlamme) until September 20, 2012, as far as Dillon
20 recollects. Dillon immediately contacted Lieutenant Tarpley, telling him there is
21 no secret phone. He advised her to continue the visits. Dillon did, and she also
22 began videotaping the visits.
23
158. During one visit, Dillon said to Stewart to the effect that she, Dillon,
24 was accused of having a secret phone and that she was using it to coach A.D.
25 Stewart said, isnt that ridiculous? It sounds like something out of a science
26 fiction movie. Dillon contacted Nash and recorded the conversation. Nash
27 denied any knowledge about a secret phone.
28
159. Dillon provided the videotape of her conversation with Stewart and
37
1 the recording of Nashs conversation to the Tustin police department. The police
2 department brought Nash and Stewart in for questioning. The police completed
3 the investigation. The department concluded that Nash and Stewart had lied about
4 the secret phone and had failed to make a mandated report about A.D.s disclosure
5 on August 23, 2012. The department recommended that both Stewart and Nash be
6 prosecuted for obstruction of justice and failing to make the mandated report.
7
8 Stewart and Nash to the presiding judge of juvenile court, Judge Hatchimonji
9 around December 2012. Judge Hatchimonji did remove Stewart and Nash from
10 the approved provider list of visitation monitors. However, Nash & Associates is
11 now back on the approved provider list. The company, Nash, and Stewart have
12 suffered no consequences for concocting a story which gave CPS an excuse to
13 unfound the sexual abuse that A.D. had disclosed. Their false story contributed to
14 the return of A.D to Srikureja. And Stewart and Nash are back in business
15 through Orange Superior Court dealing with unsuspecting mothers forced into
16 supervised visitation because they, like Dillon, reported abuse of their children by
17 the respective fathers.
18
161. Dillon has never seen the police report on Nash and Stewart. Dillon
19 informed Judge Waltz what she knew about the report which was that Nash and
20 Stewart had lied about, and fabricated, the secret phone allegation. Dillon
21 needed the report also because when Stewart and Nash got off the case they
22 provided a letter about their resignation in which they defamed Dillon to Judge
23 Waltz sometime in November 2012.
24
162. Judge Waltz asked La Flamme about the report. LaFlamme said he
25 checked with Judge Hatchimonji and he said Judge Hatchimonji told him the
26 report does not exist. Judge Waltz turned to Dillon and told her, Sorry, Maam.
27 The report does not exist. Move on. Dillon checked again with Tustin Police
28 Dept and received confirmation that Judge Hatchimonji had indeed received the
38
1 report.
2
163. When J. Waltz recalled Munoz as his own expert witness in February
3 2013, at the custody trial, J. Waltz allowed Munoz to use the false allegation of
4 secret phone for coaching against Dillon.
5
165. While the custody trial commenced in September 2012, the social
21 narrative of her (Eitners) interview of A.D. on August 23, 2012. In the report,
22 Eitner had cut and pasted Tustin Police Officer Singleton's into her report.
23 Singleton reported that he found A.D.s disclosure of sexual abuse to be credible.
24

7 sexual abuse. Eitner was more cautious -- she said the allegations were
8 inconclusive.
9
10 Orange County, Eitner, Naganuma, and the other social worker defendants,
11 repeatedly nit-pick what a child tells them. They did not attempt to elicit a
12 genuine response from A.D. They invented tests to confuse A.D., to put her on
13 the defensive, and to intimidate her. A.D. told Dillon that they were "mean" to
14 her.
15
16 informed Naganuma that Reinhart called her and asked if Srikureja had long
17 fingernails. Naganuma chose to engage in a phone tree game where she used
18 hearsay on top of hearsay to determine credibility. Rather than ask Reinhart
19 straight out whether she had contacted Dillon about the length of Srikurejas
20 fingernails, Naganuma asked Detective Hardacre, Tustin Police Dept, about who
21 called whom on the fingernails length.
22 the mother and that Reinhart said that Dillon contacted her about the fingernails.
23
24 allegations of sexual abuse or general neglect of the child by her father" based
25 solely on a third partys claim of who called whom about the length of fingernails
26 of the alleged perpetrator. On September 14, 2012, Naganuma closed her
27 Investigation which was approved by Birute-Ranes, since who called whom about
28 the length of Srikurejas fingernails had become the deal breaker.
40
172. Later, Dillon learned from Lieut. Tarpley and Reinhart that Reinhart
2 informed Tustin Police Dept that it was she who asked Dillon (and not the reverse)
3 about Srikurejas fingernails length. A.D. was just the length of Srikurejas
4 fingernails away from her freedom, protection, and safety, if only Naganuma had
5 asked Reinhart directly about who had called whom about them.
6
7 the social workers were calling the file on A.D. a Z file because the "child's
8 parent may contact OC Weekly and this could possibly become a media case this
9 is a family law custody battle. The characterization, family law custody battle
10 is a worn-out cliche which has outlived its usefulness, if it ever served a useful
11 purpose. A custody battle suggests evenly-matched opponents with equal
12 chances of getting custody. Child sexual abuse is a different issue in family court
13 meaning that the accused male has a head start, and Mother and Child spend their
14 time defending themselves rather than prosecuting their mutual claim for Child
15 protection from the Accused.
16
174. Trial commenced before Judge Waltz on September 18, 2012. By this
17 time the die was cast. A commissioner had taken custody from Dillon and would
18 not allow a gynecologist who examined A.D. to testify, using A.D.s privilege for
19 the fathers benefit in a patriarchal twist of the law. Judge Waltz had already
20 placed Dillon in supervised visitation in July 2012, just because LaFlamme said
21 Dillon was coaching A.D.
22
175. By the time of trial, the E.R. physicians findings of three fissures
176.
3 beginning of trial. They did not succeed. Dr. Sheffner testified that he found A.
4 D. s verbalizations of abuse to be consistent and credible, that he was sidelined
5 and prevented from doing his job, that I dont know what kind of experiment
6 this court has been conducting but it has miserably failed , and that A. D. needs
7 to be back in the primary care of her mother.
8
177. In Eitners notes dated September 7, 2012, Eitner noted that she
9 spoke with Dr. Sheffner on that date . He requested all CPS records and reports
10 but Eitner failed to provide them to him, just as LaFlamme had done. Both Eitner
11 and LaFlamme violated Fam. C. 3118 which requires that all police and CPS
12 reports be provided the custody evaluator in a sex abuse investigation. On
13 information and belief, Eitner had knowledge of Dr. Sheffners March 9, 2012,
14 letter to the Court in which he stated he believed A.D. was consistent and that
15 custody should be reversed and restored to Dillon.
16
178. On the first day of trial, the court finally acted on the longstanding
17 request of Dr. Sheffner for access to the CPS reports. On learning that a court18 appointed evaluator has a statutory right to CPS records in sexual abuse cases, J.
19 Waltaz ordered that Dr. Sheffner be provided a copy of thembut expressed no
20 misgivings that Dr. Sheffner had been denied this statutory right to that point. Nor
21 did J. Waltz express concern that Dr. Sheffner had less than 24 hours to review
22 171-pages of single-spaced CPS records before he testified the next day, calling
23 him a quick study.
24
179. Dr. Sheffner testified that No child can be coached to this extent,
25 and I have no evidence that Ruby coached A. D. in fact there is evidence to the
26 contrary. Dr. Sheffner provided his assessment based on his many consultations
27 leading up to his report, as well as his review of the CPS reports given to him the
28 prior day. Dr. Sheffner concluded that Dillon should have primary custody.
42
180. Dr. Sheffner reiterated that since his initial report, there had been a
181. Munoz, the CPS court liaison, also testified at trial. He was allowed,
183. The trial court overlooked another statute that explicitly provides an
1 and every position taken by DeArmey. On information and belief, LaFlamme has
2 always sided with the father and his attorney in a family law case where child
3 sexual abuse was alleged and against his client, i.e., the child he is supposed to be
4 advocating for, and protecting, her best interests.
5
185. LaFlamme recommended four hours of custody per week for Dillon
6 but did not give a reason why. LaFlamme accepted Munoz as an expert when he
7 should have challenged his credentials. He knew or should have known Munoz
8 had never met any of the parties including A. D.
9
186. Dillon informed the court that she had learned LaFlamme, had an
10 undisclosed conflict of interest with DeArmey. DeArmey who had pushed for
11 LaFlamme to be appointedhad represented LaFlamme in a personal matter eight
12 months prior to being appointed, and neither had disclosed the arrangement to the
13 court. Dillon provided a court record showing DeArmeys representation of
14 LaFlamme. Dillon requested that LaFlamme be removed from the case, a request
15 she repeated in a subsequent motion. The court did not respond to this request
16 when first made, and later denied Dillon s motion without explanation.
17
18 second adjournment until February 25, 2013, at which time Dillon was
19 proceeding pro per. The court stated it was exercising [its] right under the code to
20 call [its] own witness, and was recalling Munoz, the CPS liaison, to serve as the
21 courts expert. J. Waltz admitted that he had discussed this matter last week
22 with Munoz, now his expert, outside the presence of the parties. This brings
23 into question J. Waltzs unethical misconduct of meeting with a witness exparte
24 whom he had decided to make his own expert.
25
188. On September 27, 2012 Eitner attended a cast interview which was
26 conducted by Adriana Ball, Social Worker and forensic interviewer. During this
27 interview A.D. stated she is deprived of food at her fathers house, her father
28 touches and kisses her private parts (vagina, anus, chest) and puts his fingers
44
1 inside her "pee and poo hole". A.D. stated it hurts inside to pee and poop and that
2 she tells Srikureja to stop but that he does not stop. A.D. also stated Lockmer
3 deprived her of food and that Srikureja tells the nannies to lie in court. A.D. told
4 Eitner her father had touched her at least 20 to 30 times and had been doing it
5 since she was a baby. Still, Eitner did not detain A.D. and remove her from
6 Srikureja. Eitner filed no juvenile court petition, and no restraining order against
7 Srikureja.
8
191. Lux falsified her report and violated A.D.s right to have either her
19 mother or Reinhart present while Lux questioned her. Lux stated in her report that
20 the parents were provided a civil rights pamphlet in English and were advised of
21 the child abuse laws. This never happened, at least with respect to Dillon.
22
192. Lux stated that "child was informed of the right of refusal to be
23 interviewed and was informed that the interview would take place within 30
24 minutes. The child agreed to the interview and elected to be interviewed without
25 school personnel present." This was a Fourth Amendment violation about which
26 Lux knew or should have known. Lux falsely claimed that Detective Hardacre
27 reported that no criminal charges would be filed against Srikureja. In June 2013,
28 Tustin PD would file six felony counts of child sexual abuse against him.
45
193. Lux claimed that A.D. was informed of the court date, November 8,
2 2012, at 11:05 am. A.D. was desperate to be heard by a judge because Srikureja
3 continued to abuse her, and LaFlamme was covering up for him. Lux falsely
4 stated that Child did not want to attend the hearing.
5
194. Lux consulted with Marron-Taylor and informed her of the child's
195. Glidden was also consulted on November 2, 2012 about the referral
10 and refused to give concurrence to take A.D. into protective custody although
11 Tustin Police Dept decided to do so, for the second time.
12
196. Munoz also appears to have played a role in having A.D. returned to
13 her father and the juvenile court petition quashed in November 2012, because he
14 was listed as a collateral contact in CPS referral.
15
24 Once more social workers failed to protect A.D. and restore custody to Dillon, her
25 protective parent.
26
199.
LaFlamme who had refused to recuse himself even after Dillon filed
27 several motions to recuse him for bias and failing to advocate for A.D. finally filed
28 a motion to be relieved in July 2013 asserting that my work is done. At the time
46
200. The first time La Flamme even spoke to A. D. was when the Tustin
6 Police Department interviewed A.D. in July 2013 when they investigated Coleman
7 for witness intimidation. The department recommended prosecution of Coleman
8 for that crime. Once again, Rackauckas, Stokkes good friend for whom he has
9 raised so much money for his continued reelection, declined to prosecute
10 Coleman.
11
201. In February 2013, when Munoz was recalled to testify at the trial as J.
12 Waltzs handpicked expert Munoz briefly described his job functions as the
13 court liaison for CPS, and testified that he had an undergraduate degree from Cal14 State Fullerton and a masters degree in social work from the University of
15 Southern California.
16
22 capacities: (1) as a child custody evaluator, [but he had not conducted a child
23 custody evaluation in the case it was Dr. Sheffner who had done so.] and (2) as
24 an expert in the area of child custody investigations. [whatever that means.] The
25 court exclaimed that Munoz was well-known to the court . . . and his
26 qualifications are beyond reproach. [but he had no qualifications let alone
27 qualifications beyond reproach.]
28
204. Judge Waltzs personal vouching for a witness and his qualifications
47
1 which the judge found beyond reproach raise issues of the judges negligence
2 and/or collusion and/or subornation of perjury. His vouching for Munoz and his
3 admission that he had met exparte with Munoz, a witness, outside the
4 courtroom and outside the presence of the parties, at least outside the
5 presence of Dillon should be investigated by the Commission on Judicial
6 Performance.
7
205. J. Waltz then began serving as second chair (or, third chair after
14 Dillon was coaching, he started off as a 4 to a 5, but had fallen to two-and-a15 half with respect to the most recent allegations, because Dillons interactions
16 with A.D. were all monitored by this point.
17
207. J. Waltz then declared that Dillon had coached and Srikureja should
18 have full custody, although he admitted that Srikureja was no great shakes as a
19 father. The judgment of custody was entered in July 2013.
20
208. It should be noted that In September 2013, an official with the Orange
21 County Social Services Agency (SSA) submitted an affidavit to the trial court
22 averring that Orange County had opened an investigation against Munoz. The
23 official explained that SSA had discovered a copy of the sealed reporters
24 transcript from the case in Munozs office, which Munoz was not authorized to
25 possess. The official then stated that SSA had opened an investigation into Munoz
26 for possible perjury . . . , as well as other possible violations of SSA policy.
27 Munoz left the employ of SSA that month.
28
1 July, one in August, and again in September. Knowing LaFlamme might be off
2 the case Dr. Reinhart sent LaFlamme a detailed report and notified Dillon that
3 while she cannot disclose the content of the report she indicated to Dillon that it
4 was pertinent to custody and to ask LaFlamme to share it with the court.
5
210. On August 1, 2013, when the motion to relieve LaFlamme was heard,
6 Dillon informed the court that LaFlamme was in possession of a report from the
7 court appointed psychologist that needed to be brought to the courts attention.
8 The court inquired of LaFlamme and once more, LaFlamme suppressed vital
9 information relevant to the safety and welfare of A.D. He lied and said he had no
10 information to relay to the court .
11
12 LaFlamme also stated he spoke to Cate a month earlier and learned that Cate was
13 willing to take his place. Cate is the clone of LaFlamme, suppressing evidence
14 relevant to A.D., including Dr. Reinharts reports and keeping Reinhart from
15 testifying after he was appointed as A.D.s counsel. LaFlamme insured that A.D.
16 would continue to have her rights violated by recommending Cate as her attorney.
17
18 Orange Superior Court for over twenty years representing children whom he has
19 repeatedly betrayed.
20 LaFlamme made almost three million dollars of federal, state, and county funds
21 between January 1 and June 30 in 2012. The bidding process is rigged so that
22 public funds designed to protect children has gotten into the wrong hands, namely,
23 LaFlammes, for years. LaFlamme has made false claims for years, stealing from
24 the taxpayer funds earmarked to protect children when LaFlamme has routinely,
25 over and over again, used the funds to protect the alleged molester and abuser.
26
213. On June 26, 2013, the Tustin Police Department recommended that
27 the District Attorney press criminal charges against Srikureja for, among other
28 charges, sexual abuse of a minor. As a friend and political fundraiser for
49
1 Rackauckas, Stokke and made sure the D.A. declined to file charges.
2
214.
3 despite hiring Stokke. Srikureja left A.D. in the care of his sister, Pravit who was
4 temporarily visiting California from Canada. Srikureja has abandoned A.D. He
5 cannot gain entry into the United States and has never told the Court why.
6
215. Pravit did not allow A.D. to watch TV, play outside, have play dates,
7 go out on the playing field at school at lunch, withheld food, called A.D. names
8 and taunted her continuously. Reinhart was concerned about her abusive behavior
9 toward A.D. and cited her in letters she wrote to LaFlamme and Cate. Neither
10 LaFlamme nor Cate did anything about Pravits abusive behavior towards A.D.
11
216. Pravit took A.D. to therapy sessions with Coleman, knowing these
217. On September 30, 2013, J. Salter, who had since taken over the case
18 from Judge Waltz, issued a minute order indicating that he had received an
19 improper exparte communication from the D.A.s office, specifically from
20 Froeberg on September 27, 2013.
21
22 notice to Dillon) and informed him that there would be no criminal prosecution of
23 Srikureja which should not be a surprise, knowing of the unholy alliance between

Dear Judge Salter-I have been asked [by whom?] to forward the
attached memo to your attention. I supervise the OCDA's Sexual
Assault Unit and the deputies who reviewed the police reports and all
relevant materials submitted to this Office by Tustin Police
Department involving the investigation of Matthew Srikureja for
allegedly molesting a minor child. I am also very familiar with the
case and approved the decision not to file criminal charges.
Mr. Al Stokke, Attorney at Law, made a request for the memo under
the Public Records Act request, which was granted as authorized in
Government Code Section 6254.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. emphasis added.
219. The memo referenced in the email from Froeberg states:
TO: Sgt. Bob Wright, Tustin Police Department
September 27, 2013
FROM: Rosanne Froeberg, Assistant District Attorney, Sexual
Assault Unit
SUBJECT: Status of Criminal Investigation
This memo is to advise you that as of today the OCDA has decided
not to file criminal charges against Matthew Srikureja alleging sexual
abuse of a minor child. After 20 months of investigation and review
of all relevant documents, the decision was arrived at that there is a
lack of evidence to support the allegations and the filing of criminal
charges. emphasis added.
220. Having stepped into the shoes of an investigator, in accordance with
22 the custom and practice of Rackauckas to take over and control all investigations
23 of clients of Stokke, Froeberg explained away all the evidence of sexual abuse.
24 Froeberg was the willing dupe of DeArmey and Stokke who provided her with the
25 notoriously-unethical and falsified To Whom It May Concern Letters of
26 Coleman and a report from a potential expert witness for Srikureja, Dean Tong.
27
221. To make matters even more unethical, Froeberg also sent an email on
Good morning, Victoria. Our office has received a request from Ruby
Dillon to obtain copies of all police reports as well as the CAST
interview tapes of her minor child who is subject to orders in your
court. I have heard that she was ordered in the recent past to return all
items to the Court that she obtained pursuant to the 827 request she
made earlier this year and also not to publicize confidential matters. I
am inclined to deny her request to our Office based on concerns about
violating any Court orders and also the minor child's right to
confidentiality. Would you please let me know if any orders exist
regarding the above issue and what my Office is required to do to get
a copy? Since only for informational purposes, even an uncertified
minute order will suffice. We are not able to access Family Law files
remotely.

14 exparte contacts. J. Salter did chastize the District Attorney Office for Froebergs
15 exparte communications. He did not demand that Froeberg be present, and he
16 failed to issue an OSC re: sanctions against her.
17
223. J. Salter went to great pains to protect the Office. He ordered the
18 courtroom locked and barred all individuals except for courtroom staff, the two
19 deputies who showed up from the D.A.s office, the attorneys for the parties, and
20 Dillon. Barry requested that there be an open courtroom,

J. Salter had not only closed the courtroom but then for months
denied Dillon the transcript of the proceeding solely to protect Rackauckas and
Froeberg from public scrutiny and exposure of Rackauckas corrupt relationship
with Stokke.
228. Years ago, the Orange County Grand Jury investigated Rackauckas
and Stokkes relationship while investigating Rackauckas and the D.A.s office. It
produced a report in June 2002 of its investigation of the Office which included
but not limited to, an investigation of Rackauckas, Stokke, Arnel Management
Company, the company Stokke was representing, and its owner, George Argyros.
The two defendants were involved in a scandalous consumer fraud case involving
hundreds of tenants. Arnel was committing massive fraud with respect to security
deposits of the tenants.
Arnel Management Company (Arnel) operated apartment buildings in
Orange County and Los Angeles County for a number of years,
including between 1996 and 2001. The District Attorney's Office
commenced a consumer fraud investigation into the purported
wrongful retention of apartment tenants' security deposits by Arnel in
late 1999. The District Attorney's Office ascertained that Arnel had
53

19 prosecution of Arnel to the Attorney Generals Office which took the case. The
20 Attorney Generals settlement was far more protective of the tenants rights than
21 was the sweetheart deal that Stokke and Rackauckas reached.
25
26
232. Not only did Stokke pour money into Rackauckas' campaign coffers,
22
23
24
1 the No on Measure F campaign. Argyros made the loan before Rackauckas and
2 Stokke worked out the agreement on Arnel. Arnel itself gave $1,000.00 to
3 Rackauckas campaign in 1998.
4
233. One of the findings of the Grand Jury at No. 5 noted that the money
234. At the time that Mr. Rackauckas and Mr. Patterson took over the
settlement negotiations of the Arnel case, Mr. Rackauckas did not pay
proper attention to a possible appearance of impropriety based on
Arnel Management Company contributing $1,000 to his campaign,
Rackauckas being one of the ballot spokespersons in opposition to
Measure F, and Mr. Stokke being a significant campaign contributor
as well as co-hosting a very lucrative fund-raiser for Mr. Rackauckas.
CJ-74.
235. The Grand Jury report went on to document other serious misconduct
on the part of Rackauckas. However, the report did not change Stokkes or
Rackauckas ways of doing business. Another report of Stokkes and Rackauckas
chicanery surfaced as late as last year involving a suspicious land swap deal of the
mayor of Santa Ana, Miguel Pulido with the owner of an auto parts store whereby
Pulido made $197,000 net profit on a home he purchased from the owner of the
auto parts store when he sold it. Pulido voted to give Rupen James Akoubian, the
owner of the auto parts store, a $1.35-million no-bid city contract just over a year
after he and members of his family purchased a home in 2010 from the store
owner for $230,000 less than its fair market value, according to public records
with the City of Santa Ana.
28
55
http://voiceofoc.org/2013/11/santa-ana-mayors-property-swap-raises-questi
ons/
Pulido did not disclose the purchase of the Westminster home which was
part of a real estate swap between the Pulidos and Rupen James Akoubian,
president of NAPA Orange County Auto Parts before casting his vote on
the company's contract in December 2011.

Nor did he report the home on his statements of economic interest, known
as Form 700s, that are required by state law.
In exchange for the home, Pulido sold Akoubian a lot that is attached to the
back of NAPA Orange County Auto Parts, which is located on First Street
in Santa Ana, just a block from the Pulido family's auto care shop. Both
transactions were for $200,000.
However, after the sale was recorded, Orange County Assessor Webster
Guillory determined that the home was not sold at fair market value and
appraised it at $430,000 based on comparable sales in the neighborhood.
Guillory appraised the lot behind the parts store at its $200,000 sale price.
Then in August 2012, Mayor Pulido's family members, including his father
and two brothers, transferred the house property solely into his name. That
same day, Pulido sold the home for $397,000 and netted a $197,000 profit.
He did not disclose the sale on a Form 700 as required by law.
....
18
While Pulido realized the windfall from the home sale, city records show
NAPA Orange County Auto Parts went from having a $50,000 annual
contract as one of many auto parts suppliers for the city's vehicle fleet to
holding a three-year, sole-source contract valued at $450,000 annually a
nine-fold increase.
19
236. Both the City Attorney and the D.A. were doing an investigation.
16

20 The D.A. asked the City Attorney to hold off on releasing its investigation:

It's all over an investigation into whether the Don Papi violated
campaign finance law when he sold a house that his family had
acquired in a property swap from a businessman who just so
happened to have business with SanTana. The city attorney
completed its investigation months ago; the DA hasn't. The city
council said they wanted to release their investigation if DA Tony
Rackauckas didn't; the DA didn't want them to.
Well, someone released the report yesterday--and it says the city
thinks Don Papi Pulido might be charged with a felony.....
237. Rackauckas so far has not taken any action against Pulido, and he let

With Deadline Passed, DA Mum on Potential Charge Against Pulido
By ADAM ELMAHREK January 6, 2015 at 4:35 PM
The Orange County District Attorneys office has remained mum on
whether it was able to meet the statute of limitations deadline on a
misdemeanor charge against Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido that
passed this weekend.
This means the window has potentially closed on prosecuting Pulido
for one of several crimes that a city investigative report said he might
have committed when he engaged in real estate deal with a city
57
contractor.....

However, while the DAs office has been silent, City Council
members and activists are expressing their suspicions that old-guard
politicians like Pulido, who have ties to District Attorney Tony
Rackauckas, are safe from prosecution.
Does it really come down to who you know for what you can get
away with? Asked Councilman David Benavides, a critic who also
ran against Pulido for mayor in 2012. It gives any taxpayer reason to
lose confidence in the system.
239. This case is no different than the Arnel and Pulido scandals. In fact,
11 the Pulido and Srikureja cases were moving along about the same time. Pulido
12 and Akoubian swapped the land and home in 2010. Srikureja filed a motion for
13 custody in 2010. Pulido awarded Akoubian the no bid exclusive city million
14 dollar plus contract in December 2011. By January 2012, Dillon had lost custody.
15 In March 2012, DeArmey convinced the court to appoint his friend LaFlamme as
16 minors counsel. By July 2012 LaFlamme had persuaded the Court without any
17 evidence to place Dillon in supervised visitation.
18
240. By 2013, if not earlier, both Pulido and Srikureja were being
241. On October 6, 2013, during a visit with her mother, A.D. told Dillon
27 that Pravit said they were planning on taking her (A.D.) out of the country, despite
28 a court order prohibiting removal of A.D. from Orange County. Dillon
58
5 for Dillons failure to return A.D. for that one night, Judge Salter ordered that
6 Dillon have no further visitation with [A.D.] . . . until the Court sees contrition
7 on the part of [ Dillon ] and finds reasons to restore the relationship. The courts
8 order was purportedly temporary, but has been kept in place indefinitely. J. Salter
9 punished the little girl severely. A.D., now going on 11, has not seen her mother
10 since October 9, 2013, which is 17 months.

243. Although Srikureja has never returned to the U. S. since he fled the
12 country in June 2013, J. Salter refuses to restore custody to Dillon. Since the
13 entry of the custody judgment, Dean Tong, the Father's own expert, signed a
14 declaration indicating he had been misled by Srikureja, DeArmey, and Stokke.
15
16 Requests for Order. Dillons March 2014 motion was based on the Declaration

18
245. Tong alleged that he had been led by Srikureja's attorneys to believe

I respectfully urge that your agency re-open any and all allegations
that were pending against Father, which were mitigated or dropped as
a result of my report. These allegations should be reopened and
reconsidered in full. Additional allegations against Father and his
defense team, and Grace Coleman, for deliberately providing false
information as if it were true, are appropriate in light of the
intentional deception intended to perpetrate a fraud upon the courts
and judicial system.

evidentiary hearing in which Tong was supposed to testify. J. Salter refused to set
a date for the hearing. Just as Comm. Wilson kept Kanofsky from testifying, and
J. Waltz kept Reinhart from testifying, and sabotaged Sheffner by expecting him
to review hundreds of single- spaced CPS documents the night before he testified,
so J. Salter made sure that Tong would not testify by simply refusing to set a
hearing.
250. Dillon took the deposition of Reinhart on April 2, 2014. She testified
that she worked with LaFlamme, from the time she received the case on June 15,
2012, until August 2, 2013, when she was informed by e-mail that Cate had
substituted in as minor's counsel.
251. Reinhart expressed the opinion that Coleman, the "therapist" hired by
Father, had been coaching the minor child, against her mother. She also shared
28
61
1 her opinion that Dillon did not even have the opportunity to coach the child, due to
2 the limited time she had with her. Reinhart testified that she believes the minor
3 child has been the victim of a crime, that disclosure of her communications in
4 meeting with the minor child are in her best interests, that she passed this
5 information on to minor's counsel, and that she believes that information was not
6 passed along to the court.
7
8 filed a request to remove Cate as minor's counsel, on April 18, 2014, because it
9 became clear that Cate, like LaFlamme, had suppressed Reinhart's opinions about
10 the danger the minor child has been in, and withheld important information and
11 evidence from the court. J. Salter inexplicably denied the application.
12
253. On April 21, 2014, both Dillon and Cate brought ex parte
13 applications to the court. Minor's counsel brought two ex parte applications - one a
14 request for domestic violence restraining orders against Dillon, despite the fact
15 that Dillon had never committed any act defined as domestic violence in the
16 Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) or in DVPA case law.
17
254. Cate also sought to vacate the order restraining removal of the minor
18 child from Orange County, so A.D. could be made a refugee and removed against
19 her will to Napa, California, with her paternal aunt, Eva, as temporary guardian.
20
255.
21 among other things, that custody be restored to her pursuant to Family Code
22 section 3040, since Srikureja was unable to exercise his custodial rights. J. Salter
23 denied this application, without a hearing, the denial of an evidentiary hearing
24 being a pattern in his courtroom. Family Code section 3010(b) provides that if
25 one parent is unable or refuses to take custody, or has abandoned the child, the
26 other parent is entitled to custody of the child.
27
28 of A.D. to a complete stranger, Edgar, who was Srikureja's prior counsel in this
62
257. When J. Salter awarded custody to Edgar on April 21, 2014, he ruled
6 that the temporary order would terminate on June 23, 2014. However, he
7 terminated the appointment within four days, on April 25, 2014.
8
258. Edgar had a duty to turn down the appointment. At this point, there
9 was a conflict between A.D. and her father of which Edgar was aware since Edgar
10 knew as of November 2012 that A.D. was alleging that Srikureja was sexually
11 abusing her.
12
259. In November 2012, Edgar went so far as to slander A.D., eight years
13 old at the time, telling the court that A.D. lied about being sexually abused, (with
14 no foundation for that conclusion), she should be placed in a mental hospital and
15 given psychotropic drugs. Edgars vituperative attack on a little girl who could
16 not defend herself locking her up in an aslyum and drugging her just for
17 disclosing that Srikureja was sexually abusing her is shocking.
18
260. While it may have been grandstanding and posturing to look good to
19 her client and the court, because she was desperate for fathers like Srikureja to
20 retain her as their attorney and for continuing court appointments as minors
21 counsel, still, that Edgar would take such an extreme position against a little girl is
22 remarkable. After all, A.D.s court-appointed therapist, a gynecologist, an E.R.
23 physician, the court- appointed custody evaluator, the fathers former expert
24 witness, and several investigating police officers found A.D. credible on the sex
25 abuse charges, wanted her removed from her fathers custody, and placed with her
26 mother.
27
28 testified falsely about Dillon in court on April 25 2014, reporting alleged negative
63
262. Edgar also lied to J. Salter that a nanny named Blanca was caring for
7 A.D. and that A.D. was in a safe environment. Blanca had quit the week before.
8 J. Salter found that both continuing custody with the Father and granting
9 custody to Petitioner would be detrimental to the child. J. Salter never made
10 an appropriate finding, on clear and convincing evidence, consistent with Family
11 Code section 3040, of detriment to the minor child if placed in the custody of
12 Dillon.
13
263. The order filed on April 21, 2014, restrained Dillon, Srikureja, or any
14 other agents, friends, or family members to contact the minor child at school "or
15 any other place."
16
264. On April 25, 2014, the Court relieved Edgar of her status as
265. The matter was then continued to May 7, 2014. Other than relieving
19 Edgar of her custody of the child, the Court made no additional orders, leaving the
20 child in the care of unspecified third parties paid for by the absent Srikureja.
21
22 LaFlamme, Stokke, and the case were receiving extremely negative publicity, on
23 television, on the internet, and on the radio. The Robing Room ratings of J. Salter
24 were very bad: approximately 48 extremely negative reviews and only three
25 favorable, most of them related to his handling of A.D.s case.

267. J. Salter saw the case unraveling in his courtroom when he was doing
14 was able to obtain the trial transcripts through the transcripts reimbursement fund
15 around October 2013. McKeon continued to represent Dillon in the appellate
16 case. J. Salter threatened McKeon in another case, saying he was going to go
17 against her bar card. Because she had conducted herself competently and ethically
18 in that case where J. Salter threatened her license, McKeon and Dillon believe
19 strongly that the only reason why J. Salter threatened her was because of restoring
20 Dillons appeal and obtaining the numerous transcripts without Dillon paying for
21 them. J. Salter was probably even more incensed when he learned that the
22 distinguished international corporate law firm out of Washington, D.C., Arnold &
23 Porter is representing Dillon and A.D. on appeal.
24
269. Around May 2014 J. Salter filed an OSC against Tong threatening
25 him with contempt of court and threatening him with charges for making false(?)
26 allegations of sexual abuse or retract his declaration. Faced with contempt and
27 other charges, Tong opted for an auto da fe. He filed a declaration essentially
28 apologizing for violation of work product privileges. Tong then filed a declaration

2 that is why he filed the declaration.

It also appears that Dr. Reinhart has become embroiled in the matter .
I don' t think I see her as any longer a neutral. She appears to have
become an advocate. [she was appointed as such A.D.s therapist,
and not a forensic custody evaluator] I cannot believe that she
allowed her deposition to be taken in this matter. I realize it was
done under the guardianship proceeding. A member of the press was
there, [how did he know?] and the transcript, which I have, there were
discussions in there that I think could be perceived as being in
violation of the privilege. [whose privilege? And who held it?] It's at
least tantalizing enough on the pages that I was shown. Mr . Funk
[Dillons attorney], if you were to give me a copy of the entire
transcript, at this point in time I have not seen it, I'm not sure you 've
shared a copy of the transcript with anybody else.
May 7, 2014 hearing transcript at 8:9-23, Case No. 05P000379,
Orange Superior Court.
271. On May 13, 2014, after arresting Dillon on May 7, 2014, discussed
25 2014, the hearing on the domestic violence request of Cate commenced. J. Salter
26 had been doing research on Dillon outside what the parties had presented to him
27 within the four corners of the case before him. J. Salter morphed himself into a
28 prosecutor. He found that Dillon had "multiple failures to appear" on
67
1 outstanding traffic violations, which took Dillon completely by surprise and ended
2 up being false.
3
273. Although there was no warrant for Dillons arrest for Dillons failure
4 to appear on two traffic violations filed eight years prior, J. Salter ordered his
5 bailiff, Chang to arrest Dillon on the eight year old misdemeanor and infraction
6 traffic violations. The misdemeanor and infraction were not committed in the
7 presence of the bailiff who was an Orange County deputy sheriff. J Salter
8 maliciously set bail at $15,000.
9
10 THIS PERSON IS. meaning Dillon. Dillon had been appearing regularly in
11 family court since 2010 in the child custody case and had obtained an order of
12 custody in the case as early as 2005. Dillon was A.D.s mother, and she had
13 conceived her child with Srikureja.
14
22 She was not on parole or probation. She did not own a registered firearm nor did
23 she have any prior restraining orders other than what J. Salter was issuing against
24 her.
25
277. J. Salters interrogation of Dillon belied his claim he did not know
26 who she was, making his interrogation hilarious were it not for it resulting in a
27 tragic and traumatic outcome for Dillon. J. Salter was foolishly contradicting
28 himself, I claim not to know who you are, but here are all the things, quite
68
278.
3 Dillons life made his hostile interrogation of Dillonall the more chilling. It
4 seemed as if he had contacted Rackauckas and had asked him to pull out all the
5 stops on details of Dillons life. Dillon acknowledged many of the things J. Salter
6 knew about this person whom he was interrogating but claiming he did not know
7 who she was. This was so, because while he had initially informed Dillon she
8 could take the Fifth, he still forced her to answer his questions. J. Salter knew
9 more about Dillon than she could recollect! like the license plate of her
10 automobile.
11
279. What J. Salter established with his grilling of Dillon is that while
12 Dillon spelled her name Western style at times, Ruby Dillon, and Eastern style at
13 times, Rupindar Dillon, and that she may have fudged on her date of birth, the
14 system knew this and managed to accumulate enough information on Dillon that J.
15 Salter knew exactly who Dillon was, and then some.
16
280. Dillon er, the person J. Salter did not know was taken in
17 handcuffs from the courtroom of Lamoreaux Center and as a result was publicly
18 humiliated and defamed. She was booked into the Orange County jail, notorious
19 for its abuse and humiliation of prisoners. She was strip searched and body cavity
20 searched. Dillon was forced to shower twice - forcing her for a longer time to
21 remain in the nude in the presence of sullen, angry fully-clothed guards with guns,
22 there to remind her (and all the other prisoners) who was boss. Because of the
23 amount of bail, it took some time for Dillon to post bail and be released from jail.
24
281. In criminal court, the case was immediately dismissed, even before
25 Dillon was arraigned. Dillon, however, had to borrow money to pay a criminal
26 attorney.
27
28 Salter also issued an OSC re: contempt against Alan Gleisinger, who is Dillons
69
1 husband, and threatened Ron Funk, Dillons family law attorney who also filed
2 writ petitions and an appeal for Dillon. J. Salter claimed that Gleisinger had done
3 something wrong because he had written on the subpoena he had served on behalf
4 of Dillon.
5
283. Funk spoke up and informed the Court he had authorized Gleisinger
9 courtroom, all those who concluded Srikureja was sexually abusing A.D. were
10 given fair warning: All hope abandon, ye who enter here. Only those who
11 claimed that Dillon had coached A.D. or that A.D. was lying were welcomed.
12
285. With the press and the public becoming more and more upset at J.
13 Salter and the other defendants named in this lawsuit, on August 29, 2014, J.
14 Salter transferred the case to Napa County and allowed Eva, the estranged wife of
15 Srikurejas brother, to take A.D. into her home in Napa County. The Orange
16 County investigator found Eva unfit to be [A.D.]s guardian and the Orange
17 County guardianship case was dismissed.
18
19 appointed as guardian for [A.D.] She made false allegations against Dillon. She
20 has falsely imprisoned [A.D.] and has not arranged for [A.D.] to see Dillon. She
21 has hidden A.D. Eva does not have A.D. registered at any school in Napa County,
22 including the private schools.
23
287. The end result of Dillons attempt to protect A.D. in the Court for
24 almost five years has resulted in her child being disappeared. J. Salter has left the
25 child adrift with no guardian and denied her right to be with the only parent who
26 desperately wants to raise and care for her, her mother. No one knows where A.D.
27 is, and she could be out of state or out of the country, even in Thailand. This is
28 Orange Superior Courts brand of acting in the best interests of a child.
70
6 and Breeze and against the County. Neither the police department nor the County
7 issued a denial of the claim. Dillon has exhausted the administrative remedy.
8 This lawsuit is timely since it was filed within two years of the filing of the two
9 government claims.

1 Defendants contributed to Dillons loss of custody and contact with her daughter
2 by their retaliation.
3
292. The foregoing acts or omissions of the defendants, except for Chang,
4 deprived Dillon and A.D. of rights, privileges, and immunities secured to them by
5 the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of meaningful access
6 to the Court.
7
293. Social worker defendants retaliated against Dillon and A.D. for their
8 free speech and denied them meaningful access to the Courts by, inter alia,
9 undermining the police officers findings and conclusions that A.D. was credible
10 and that Srikureja was sexually abusing A.D., by quashing the two juvenile court
11 petitions the police had filed, by irrationally unfounding A.D.s disclosures of
12 sexual abuse, by relying on inadmissible hearsay rather than interviewing the
13 witnesses who had direct knowledge of the events in question, by falsifying their
14 findings, and by conspiring with all the other defendants to suppress and hide
15 Srikurejas sexual abuse of A.D.
16
294. Their falsified reports and suppression of relevant evidence were then
17 used by Munoz in court to discredit A.D., Dillon, Reinhart, the E.R. physicians
18 report, Kanofsky, Sheffner, and Tustin police officers before J. Waltz, a willing
19 recipient of the fraud.
20
21 expertise and committed perjury by claiming to have attended two colleges he had
22 never attended and claiming to have degrees he never obtained. J. Waltz may
23 have suborned this perjury. Munoz also participated in illegal exparte
24 communication with J. Waltz to the detriment of Dillon and A.D.
25
26 Dillon and A.D. and denied them meaningful access to the Courts by taking over
27 the investigation of the sexual abuse charges because Tustin P.D. had repeatedly
28 concluded that Srikureja was sexually abusing A.D. and had recommended his
72
1 prosecution on six felony counts of child sexual abuse, had taken A.D. into
2 protective custody and filed a juvenile court petition twice, and had also
3 recommended prosecution of numerous individuals involved in the conspiracy
4 with Srikureja, namely, Edgar, Coleman, Nash, Stewart, and Nashs company.
5 They also ignored the Sheriff Departments recommendation of Cate for
6 prosecution.
7
297. Rackauckas and Froeberg also denied meaningful access to the Court
8 by depriving Dillon of CPS CAST interviews of A.D. Froeberg was so bold that
9 she sent an email exparte to J. Salters courtroom clerk letting her know she would
10 not provide them to Dillon, thus insuring Dillon could not prove in J. Salters
11 court how consistent and credible A.D. was in disclosing the abuse of Srikureja.
12
301. When Chang falsely arrested and falsely imprisoned Dillon without
27 probable cause because no misdemeanor was committed in his presence nor was
28 there an outstanding warrant for her arrest, Chang violated Dillons Fourth
73
1 Amendment rights.
2
302. The foregoing acts or omissions of the defendants, except for Chang,
3 deprived Dillon and A.D. of rights, privileges, and immunities secured to them
4 under the Equal Protection Clause not to be discriminated against based on
5 Dillons status as a female protective parent and A.D.s status as a female abused
6 child.
7
303. The foregoing acts or omissions of the defendants, except for Chang,
8 deprived Dillon and A.D. of rights, privileges, and immunities secured to them
9 under the Due Process Clause guaranteeing both of them a familial relationship,
10 one with the other, and Dillon, the right of custody to A.D.
11
304.
12 deprived A.D. of her under the Due Process Clause to emotional and bodily
13 integrity when they insured that Srikureja would retain custody of her and she
14 would be denied the care, protection, and companionship of her mother.
15
16 above by Defendants, Plaintiff has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits, and
17 she and A.D. have suffered humiliation, mental anguish, and severe emotional and
18 physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has had
19 to retain an attorney and pay fees to prosecute this lawsuit.
20
27
309. Nash & Associates is liable per respondeat superior. All the other
8 defendants named in this cause of action worked for the common goals of
9 suppression of evidence that Srikureja sexually abused A.D., insuring that
10 Srikureja would retain custody of A.D., that A.D. would be deprived of custody of,
11 and contact with, her daughter, and that A.D. would never see her mother again.
12
13 Dillons right to free speech, denied meaningful access to the courts, discriminated
14 against them based on gender (female protective parent and abused female child),
15 denied them family rights, and denied A.D.s right to emotional and bodily.
16
311. Some examples of their bad acts include persuading the willing
1 only 300 pages or so of discovery when there were several thousands, and refused
2 to provide him the CSP (CAST interviews) and Tustin P.D. police reports.
3 DeArmey and LaFlamme also made blatantly false statements about Dillon to
4 Defendant social workers. LaFlamme may have persuaded the defendant social
5 workers to quash the juvenile court petitions and to recommend the return of A.D.
6 to Srikureja.
7
8 opinions for which she had no foundation either in fact or in expertise. Edgar
9 accomplished the goals of the conspiracy by working with Srikureja to lie against
10 Dillon and to agree unethically with a clear conflict of interest to take custody of
11 A.D. when she was Srikurejas former attorney, and A.D. alleged that Srikureja
12 was sexually abusing her. Coleman accomplished the goals of the conspiracy by
13 working with Srikureja to force A.D. to meet with her in violation of a court order,
14 by feigning that she was a therapist for A.D., by writing falsified letters about her
15 contacts with A.D. and providing them to Froeberg via Stokke and/or DeArmey.
16 Stewart and Nash accomplished the goals of the conspiracy by working, on
17 information and belief, with LaFlamme and/or DeArmey to invent the story of the
18 secret phone resulting in defendant social workers and J. Waltz discrediting
19 Dillon and A.D., by defaming Dillon in a letter to J. Waltz, and by failing to make
20 a mandated report when A.D. disclosed sexual abuse in Stewarts presence.
21
313. Eva, Pravit, and Lockmer conspired to violate A.D.s right to bodily
22 and emotional integrity by falsely imprisoning her, by abusing and neglecting her
23 to punish her for repeatedly disclosing that Srikureja was sexually abusing her.
24 They conspired with Srikureja to write false declarations against Dillon.
25
314. Srikureja conspired with all the other defendants either directly or
26 indirectly through his attorneys, Edgar, DeArmey, Stokke, LaFlamme, and Cate, to
27 retain custody of A.D. so that he could sexually abuse her in violation of her right
28 to bodily and emotional integrity.
76
2 above by Defendants, Plaintiff has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits, and
3 she and A.D. have suffered humiliation, mental anguish, and severe emotional and
4 physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has had
5 to retain an attorney and pay fees to prosecute this lawsuit.

Nash & Associates is liable per respondeat superior. All the other
24 defendants did engage in said conspiracy and did prevent and hinder the
25 constituted authorities, namely, the Court, the District Attorneys Office, and
26 Tustin Police Dept from giving or securing to Dillon and A.D. the equal protection
27 of the laws based on their status as a female protective parent and an abused
28 female child.
77
2 above by Defendants, Plaintiff has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits, and

8 law on its head, perverted the purpose of the funds, and discriminated against both
9 Mother and A.D., based on their gender as female protective parent and abused
10 female child continuing into the present time in Court.
11
12 resulted in denial of Dillons and A.D.s family rights. It has also resulted in a
13 denial of A.D.s right to bodily and emotional integrity. Judge Salter has
14 disappeared A.D. making her a refugee in her own country by displacing her from
15 Orange County and hiding her from her mother. It has also resulted in denial of
16 equal protection to both Dillon and A.D. based on irrational favoritism towards the
17 perpetrator of abuse, namely, Srikureja, who is male. As a result, Dillon and A.D.
18 have had no access to each other since October 2013.
19
332. The Sheriff Department wanted Cate prosecuted for what he has done
24 above by Defendants, Plaintiff has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits, and
25 she and A.D. have suffered humiliation, mental anguish, and severe emotional and
26 physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has had
27 to retain an attorney and pay fees to prosecute this lawsuit.
28
334. The acts of LaFlamme, Cate, and Nash and Stewart were willful,
80
28
81
1 of making false reports of abuse when it is the social workers who are falsifying
2 reports and regularly committing perjury.
3
339.
DCFS is charged by the California Penal Code and its own statewide
4 guidelines, known as the California DSS Manual, with investigating all allegations
5 of child abuse. Penal Code 11165.9; DSS Manual 31-110 & 31-115.
6
340. Welf. & Inst. 328 also charges social workers with mandatory
11
The legislature hereby declares its intent, in providing for this statewide
system of child welfare services, that all children entitled to be safe and free
from abuse and neglect. Welf. & Inst. 16500
12
341. The statewide DSS Manual requires that social workers conduct an
10
13 in-person investigation with all relevant children, and their custodial parents. (DSS
14 Manual 31-125.22.) Social workers are further charged with determining, based on
15 their investigations, the potential for or the existence of any condition(s) which
16 places the child, or any other child in the family or household, at risk and in need
17 of services... (DSS Manual 31-125.)
18
342. Social workers routinely, as here, falsify their reports about the
19 children instead of reporting to the court what the child is disclosing to them over
20 and over again, as occurred here. They maliciously keep the abused child(ren)
21 with the abusive parent. As a result of this practice, many children are severely
22 harmed and often are murdered by the abusive parents about whom the County
23 workers were repeatedly put on notice as occurred in this case.
24
25 mothers as protective parents and the status of their children as abused children,
26 Dillon and A.D. were denied due process and equal protection because of their
27 respective statuses as a female protective parent and as a female abused child. The
28 above-described pattern and practice is the moving force behind the
82
1 constitutional violation.
2
344. Dillon and A.D. have suffered pain and mental anguish, emotional
3 and physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has
4 had to retain an attorney to prosecute her rights and the rights of A.D.

Cause of Action.
346. Based on the holding in C.A. v. William S. Hart Union High School
(2012) 53 Cal. 4th 861, the County is directly liable for the negligence of
supervisory personnel, some of whom have been identified in this lawsuit as
possibly Glidden, Bruzas-Ranes, and Lux, who allowed their subordinate social
workers named as defendants in this cause of action to suppress evidence, to
conduct purposely faulty and incomplete investigations, to reach conclusions
(unfounded, inconclusive) which were directly contradicted by the very
evidence they relied on for those conclusions. Discovery will conclusively
establish who of the defendant social workers were supervisors.
347. Defendant social workers named in this cause of action violated Penal
Code 11165.9; Welf. & Inst. 328 ; and DSS Manual 31-110 & 31-115 in that
under these provisions, Defendants had an affirmative obligation to conduct
meaningful investigations of the sex abuse allegations. Instead, as laid out in great
detail in this pleading, Defendants, inter alia, falsified reports, suppressed relevant
evidence, questioned A.D. in such a way as to trick her and to impose irrelevant
standards on a child designed to sabotage the interview of A.D. Defendants also
allowed repeated questioning of A.D. which in itself caused grave emotional
distress for A.D.
28
83
2 statements against Dillon and A.D. at face value without investigation. They
3 refused to support Tustin police officers juvenile court petitions and instead
4 quashed them. They conspired with Srikureja, DeArmey, LaFlamme, possibly
5 Rackauckas and/or Froeberg to defeat Dillons efforts to protect her child. They
6 ignored or glossed over the mandated reports of the E.R. physician, of Kanofsky,
7 of Sheffner, and of Reinhart (the social workers accepted LaFlammes lies that
8 they could not interview Reinhart because he claimed he held the privilege on
9 behalf of A.D., which is such a perversion of the law that the social workers had to
10 know he was lying about the law.)
11
350. Dillons and A.D.s injury resulted from the kind of occurrence Penal
19 Code 11165.9; Welf. & Inst. 328 ; and DSS Manual 31-110 & 31-115 were
20 designed to prevent, and Dillon and A.D. were members of the class of persons the
21 statutes and regulation were intended to protect.
22
23 listed above by Defendants, Dillon has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits,
24 and she and A.D. have suffered humiliation, mental anguish, and severe emotional
25 and physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has
26 had to retain an attorney and pay fees to prosecute this lawsuit.

Eighth Cause of Action.
354. Defendant Social Workers had a mandatory and affirmative
obligation set out in statute and regulation to conduct meaningful child abuse
investigations. Once undertaking the investigations, they also incurred a fiduciary
duty to Dillon and A.D. not to violate the statutory duty with respect to the
investigations. They breached their fiduciary duty to Dillon and A.D. for which
both Dillon and A.D. suffered grave injury and damages.
355. LaFlamme and Cate agreed to represent A.D. as her attorney. As
A.D.s attorneys, LaFlamme and Cate, owed A.D. a fiduciary duty which includes
a duty of loyalty to represent her zealously and competently and not to betray her.
As a minor, they must insure her health, safety, and welfare and advocate for her
best interests.
356. As laid out in great detail in this pleading, LaFlamme and Cate
breached the fiduciary duty repeatedly selling out their own client to protect
Srikureja, the man A.D. said was sexually abusing her. Cates misconduct was
extreme enough for Orange County Sheriff Dept to recommend that he be
prosecuted. Rackauckas and Froeberg did not prosecute Cate because of the pay
to play arrangement Rackauckas had with Stokke.
357. Has the defendants not breached their fiduciary duties to Dillon and
A.D., the outcome of the custody litigation would have been different. That is,
Dillon would have retained custody of A.D. and Srikureja would have been
prosecuted for sexual abuse of A.D., or at a minimum had his right of visitation
28
85
1 curtailed or denied.
3 listed above by Defendants, Dillon has suffered the loss of pay and job benefits,
4 and she and A.D. have suffered humiliation, mental anguish, and severe emotional
5 and physical distress, and have been injured in mind, body, and spirit. Dillon has
6 had to retain an attorney and pay fees to prosecute this lawsuit.
8 on the part of the defendants (cover up of Srikurejas child sexual abuse) it was
9 foreseeable that Dillon and A.D. would suffer enormous harm. Thus, the acts of
10 Defendants, were willful, wanton, malicious, and oppressive, justifying an award
11 of exemplary and punitive damages against them in an amount to be determined at
12 trial.

4
5 of A.D. played a substantial role in the outcome of the custody litigation Dillon

1 home of Eva in Napa for some appreciable time; A. D. did not knowingly and
2 voluntarily consented and in fact, repeatedly stated she did not want to live with
3 Srikureja, Eva, or Pravit. A.D. repeatedly made it clear she wanted to be with her
4 mother; A.D. suffered considerable harm in that she was deprived of her mothers
5 companionship, love, and care and is most likely being abused and neglected at
6 this time; Defendants conduct was a substantial factor in causing R.M.s harm.
7
8 has been held against her will for three years and denied the right to see and be
9 with her mother. J. Salter has disappeared her allegedly to Napa with no
10 guardian, her father has abandoned her, and Dillon does not know where A.D. is
11 residing.

24 otherwise sexually abused A.D. He emotionally abused her by forcing her to meet
25 with Coleman and probably hit and otherwise punished her for repeatedly
26 disclosing his acts of sexual abuse against her. He abandoned her, but refused to
27 request the Court to award custody to Dillon. He paid enormous amounts of
28 money to DeArmey, Stokke, and possibly to LaFlamme to commit criminal acts
88
1 and other acts of misconduct so that he would not be prosecuted for his sexual
2 abuse against A.D.
3
375. Srikureja deprived A.D. of her mother and imprisoned her in his
376. Coleman emotionally abused A.D. by forcing her to meet with her
9 and Srikureja thirty times to discuss the sexual abuse in the presence of Srikureja
10 and to try and force her to say she was coached.
11
377.
Eva, Pravit, and Lockmer deprived A.D. of sufficient food and failed
12 to provide her nurturing, yelled at her, possibly hit her, for repeatedly disclosing
13 Srikurejas sexual abuse. They all kept her a prisoner and denied her the normal
14 activities of children, guarding her every move. On information and belief, Eva
15 does not have A.D. enrolled in any school and may have placed her in an
16 apartment by herself as she predicted she would do in her initial paperwork
17 submitted with her petition for guardianship. Despite an Orange Superior Court
18 judge finding her to be unfit to serve as a guardian, J. Salter allowed Eva to
19 remove A.D. to Napa with no guarantees in place for her health, safety, and
20 welfare. Eva has no order of custody or guardianship.
21
22 has suffered extreme pain and mental anguish, emotional and physical distress,
23 and has been injured in mind, body, and spirit.
24
379. Dillon has had to retain an attorney to prosecute her daughters rights.
