About this record
Every document linked here is a public record of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common
Pleas, the Supreme Court of Ohio, or the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Tennessee. Nothing published here is sealed, confidential, or was obtained
privately.
Why his accusations are not reproduced here
A court found that what he published about his ex-wife and her mother was false,
and ordered it removed from the internet. These pages therefore do not reproduce it. The
postcards, the fundraising page, the LinkedIn posts and the YouTube videos are described
only as the court described them, and are not published as exhibits.
That is a deliberate choice. Republishing accusations a court has found false would spread
them further, which is the injury the court's order was meant to stop. What is
reproduced here is his own conduct — his threats, his filings, and what he wrote to and about
the courts. Where one of those documents contains an accusation against his ex-wife, that
passage has been covered.
Redactions
Black boxes on the protection orders cover the two minor children's names and every
date of birth on the form, including those of the two adult victims. One further
redaction covers the name of a woman who appears in a filing only as the subject of an
allegation no court has ever ruled on; she has nothing to do with this case.
His own address is not redacted. He filed it himself, in his own hand, on these and
many other public documents. The addresses that are covered belong to his ex-wife,
her mother and the children. Nothing exculpatory has been removed — every redaction covers a
private identifier belonging to a victim, a child, or an uninvolved third party.
Accuracy
Where these pages say a court found something, a court found it. Two distinctions
are worth stating plainly. The injunction of 4 January 2023 was an order, not a
finding of defamation — liability was found on 2 August 2023 and damages assessed on
26 February 2024. And the count of nineteen YouTube channels comes from a sworn affidavit of
counsel, not from a judicial finding; the court's own finding was 20 hours of video.
Corrections
If anything here is inaccurate it will be corrected. Every statement is tied to a
document, and every document is linked, so that any reader can check it independently
rather than taking this record's word for it.
