You are a judicial predator who for 11 years (ab)used the unlimited power of the legal system to cover up your
participation in a fraud.
participation in a fraud.
As a district attorney the star witness in your flagship domestic violence case turned out to be a fraud. She had
lied about her age, education, and background, and was involved in the deaths of two men in Union County. You
deliberately with held evidence of my innocence believing it would never be discovered. When it was and we
issued a legal subpoena for the report, you chose to actively cover-up the fraud rather than risk your reputation
during your upcoming run for Judge.

This is where you had an obligation to investigate the veracity of your star witness. Instead you chose to cancel
my hearing and indict me in secret. In November 2000 I was arrested the night before my trial and you forced me
to plead guilty (doubling my probation period) or forfeit over $100,000.00 in real estate. In February 2001, after
we discovered the existence of the false report we issued a subpoena which you personally denied.

Here are some other indiscretions you have been involved with; You engaged in docket manipulation and judge
shopping (Click Here) and I believe that you ordered Judge Mediguren to alter a warrant request after he had

compelled to lie about the timing when he was asked Click Here.

You knowingly destroyed a single parent family, sending a father to jail and an innocent child off to be exploited
and sexually assaulted.

Your blind ambition to become judge made you the perfect target to be conned by a killer and a sociopath.
I have sent the request below to the following agencies: Union County District
Attorney, Union County Sheriff, Oregon State Police, La Grande Observer,
Baker City Herald, Wallowa County Chieftain, Oregonian
I recently received a rape/sodomy report that causes me great concern as the father of
an extremely vulnerable, physically challenged adult daughter, and a citizen of Union
County. My wife was ambushed in her home by two men who, terrorized her, demeaned
her, raped her, attempted to murder her by suffocation, and left her for dead. She was
discovered and rushed to the hospital when officers from two police agencies entered
her remote High Valley home and kicked in her locked bedroom door. I have enclosed
the portions of the original report(s) that I received but there are clearly several pages
missing from this group of documents.
Could you help me ascertain the status of the High Valley Rapists investigation? Were
there DNA results from the evidence that was tested? Was there any follow up
investigation done? Could anyone provide me with the complete documentation in this
case? Rape and attempted murder are very serious crimes and any failure to
aggressively pursue the perpetrators is a violation of the public trust. In addition the
community has a right to know how many other assaults have been kept from them and
the reason this vicious assault was not thoroughly investigated. My daughter and other
vulnerable citizens need assurance that these predators are not free in our community
and that they do not need to live in fear for their lives.
Thank you for your time and concern in this matter.

In early 1992 Douglas (55) and Barbara Tobiasen (42, HS diploma) together with Richard
Briggs Douglas' friend, moved to Union County. In June 1992 Douglas dies a "sudden and
mysterious death". In May 1993 I meet Barbara now 53 and a former professor of physics at
Stanford, Richard Briggs is now her brother. We are married in May 1994, Richard is
found dead of a gunshot (Barbara's gun) in February 1998. We separate in November 1998
and in November 1999 she comes into my home uninvited and gets into my bed with a
gun and is injured. A month later, two days before Christmas, she is back to using her real age,
the PhD in physics disappears, and she files her first false police report citing domestic
violence. I am jailed and Stephanie is taken by the State. At a February 29th, 2000 hearing she
perjured herself about her access to (50 +) weapons and admitted mental illness. March 17th
she received a letter from me to her Priest stating that I would expose her at my next hearing on
March 28th. She left work, bought a gallon of whiskey, drank herself into a stupor (over 1/2
gallon), crawled into bed, urinated on herself, wiped herself with a towel, and passed out. When
she awoke it was to find two policemen who had kicked in her door standing over her. In her
own (first) words "I'm too sick to work". Taken to the hospital and needing to explain her
actions, the next day she files a second false police report claiming a rape and murder attempt
and naming me as the subject.

| Like my family, you used him as a prop, then discarded when he was of no more use to you. |
