BO STATEMENT

IT ISN’T OVER! WIEGAND MUST NOW CHALLENGE CONN-COURTS FOR CUSTODY OF HER BOYS!

This case is not about me-never has been. This is about children wrongfully awarded to persons they say raped them. It is about intimidating "extralegal" court tactics, and a constipated state bureaucracy that protects pedophiles instead of their victims. It is about making large sums of money through phony defamation suits; judges approving outrageous assessments forever placing righteous parents in contempt; about cover-up, not caring what is right, and the fact that Connecticut would rather bury a protective mom and her sons than face a sue-happy attorney.

America should take note that Jon Wiegand made a 65-page sworn court-recorded deposition on 1 August 1996 at the CT Department of Children & Families in Hartford detailing the many sexual assaults endured by both he and his younger brother. When appointed attorneys couldn’t force Jon to retract his testimony of abuse, the statement was sealed and the boy required to return home with the perpetrator!

A two-year 79-page investigation by the State’s Sr. Assistant Attorney John Massameno submitted on 28 October 1998 concludes that Jon and Ben were abused and Linda Wiegand acted correctly in breaking a court order and taking her sons underground. Still the boys remain in the predator’s hands and Wiegand continues to be persecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney John Malone of Enfield. When Prosecutor Massameno volunteered to testify as a defense witness in my trial, he was disallowed. His report, exonerating Linda Wiegand and exculpatory to me was sealed and a gag order applied to curtail distribution of the State’s Attorney’s findings! Massameno said the pedophile should have been arrested, but "no one in Hartford wanted to be a hero." Malone would have continued the cover-up if Massameno had not demanded release of his findings.

Sheldon Robinson from Dallas, Texas was arrested on bogus charges using fabricated police information hoping he would turn state’s evidence against me or Linda Wiegand. John Malone also offered me a free ride if I would just sign a statement implicating Ms. Wiegand in a criminal venture. Malone was perfectly aware of the contents of Massameno’s report. When questioned by Judge Nicola Rubinow, Malone’s response was: "I just do what I’m told." Officer Reese was proven to be, at best, incompetent. He admitted to numerous mistakes and gross sworn over-sights.

Louis Kiefer, representing Thomas Wilkinson sues any person, entity, media or government who probe his client. Kiefer sued and lost a federal case (including federal appeal) against Vermont for arresting Wilkinson, but others have settled out of court for huge sums of money ($300,000). He manipulated an outrageous exparte award of $500,000 for Wilkinson, plus $50,000 for himself, and more than $3,000 in alimony and child support every month - all at 8-percent interest, while Wiegand was underground. Kiefer blocks any custody challenge by Wiegand through contempt motions for her non-payment of what now amounts to $800,000!

ALL OF THESE FACTS HAVE COME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF MY TRIAL AND ARE PART OT THE TRANSCRIPT. THE COURT CANNOT DENY LINDA, MASSAMENO’S TESTIMONY. FREE OF CRIMINAL CHARGES, SHE WILL NOW FACE THE FAMILY COURT IN RIG



HTING THE MANY PAST WRONGS. I am in contempt of any system that denies abused children a voice. Reports referred to can be found at www.angelfire.com/tx/reachme. Call 559-787-3482 for Wiegand comments.

Previously cowed Connecticut courts, bureaucrats, and news media should be ashamed to have groveled before the threats of a one-time family court clerk turned rogue lawyer. Now that the Massameno report is exposed, they should go to the rescue of Jon and Ben Wiegand. Open the seals and remove the gags - they only deny abused children a voice and conceal predator abusers.
