BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

I started a Non-Profit mentoring program for At-Risk Rural and Inner City youth in

March 2014 called PARISAngelswhich stands for PairingAt-risk Rural and Inner-city

Studentswith Angels. A few mentors and I held our first meeting on March 26 th2014 after

extensively recruiting over 200 students and non-students to join our effort at combatting

juvenile delinquency here in Southern West Virginia. The meeting took place on the Campus ofConcord University in Athens, WV where most of us were students.

We were approached on March 27 th2014 to cease all of our activities, we declined and I

was immediately arrested as the President of the organization to effectively end the program. I

have been burdened with this malicious prosecution for over eight (8) months and during this

time, we have had to go to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals at least 8 times

including once for failure to release me on a fully posted bond, once to disqualify the Prosecutor

for sending falsified orders to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and once for the

violation of my right to a speedy trial.

THE ARREST

On March 27th, 2014, the Complainant was informed that Kendra Boggess, Marjie

Flanigan, and Rick Dillon wanted me gone from campus because of the Non-Profit program we

started. On March 28th, 2014, Kendra Boggess sent Dawn Smitha Concord University Police

Officer, to my wifes house to cajole her into making a complaint that I allegedly sexually

assaulted her on some unknown day in November 2013, even though my wife and I had been

separated since October 2013, and Dawn Smith knew my wife is mentally ill with Bipolar

Disorder.

On March 31st, 2014, the Complainant was arrested on a warrant issued the same day by

Magistrate Flanigan, authorized by Prosecutor Scott Ash and sworn to by Charlie Lowe. The

probable cause statement was falsified in that Charlie Lowe stated in it that:

1) He took the statement on March 21st2014, even though the first day the allegation

was made was on March 28th2014, and this was expressly disproved by the Court

Record;

2) He saw bruises and bite marks in March 2014 of an incident that allegedly happened

in November 2013a five month period, which was also disproved by the official

Court Record.

Magistrate Flanigan knew that his wife was a friend of mine and my Law Professor and

Should not have used this warrant as a way of punishing me for being a friend of his wife. Heshould have disqualified himself. Scott Ash authorized the warrant without any kind of

investigation whatsoever even though he knew that I was a Volunteer Firefighter, a McNair

Scholarship student and Mentor to At-Risk Youth. This would not have happened if there was a

Caucasian man involved.

THE BOND REDUCTION AND THE FALSIFIED ORDERS.

On April 9th, 2014, the Complainant was arraigned before Magistrate Dent and his bond

was reduced from $500,000.00 to $5000.00 surety. On April 12th, 2014, the Complainant posted

his bond but Judge Swope refused to release him on the bond. On April 15th, 2014, and on April17th, 2014, John McGinnis prepared falsified Orders and Judge Swope signed them and entered

them into the Official Court Record. The Complainant was also placed on home confinement.

For more than a month, the Complainant was not released on home confinement and so

he filed a writ of prohibition in the WV Supreme Court of Appeals and Scott Ash sent those

falsified Orders to the WV Supreme Court.

THE GRAND JURY TESTIMONY

On October 14th, 2014, Charlie Lowe and Scott Ash presented the case to the Mercer

County Grand Jury and testified that, the girl is whiteand he is blackand I

think in their culture, they believe that women are supposed to be seen not heardThis

couldnt be a more racist and discriminatory submission to make to the Grand Jury. TheComplainant was then indicted by the Grand jury.

CONCLUSION.

The Complainant has been discriminated against based on his race, ethnicity, nationality,

and religion. This action by the State actors amounted to unlawful termination since the

Complainant was employed at Concord University as a Tutor and as a Teaching Assistant at the

time of his arrest and should be investigated.

This treatment by the State actors only happened because the Complainant founded aNon-Profit to combat the extremely high delinquency rate of Southern West Virginia youth.

These illegal actions are even more shocking given the positions of public trust that these

officials occupy.

The complainant respectfully implores you to investigate these matters. The complainant

was subsequently expelled in abstentia without any kind of due process whatsoever.

Thanks kindly for your assistance and please feel free to reach me ated@paris-

Thanks kindly for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you and Until then,

I remain

Yours Very Truly,
