I-Team: Taxpayers Could Foot the Bill in Alleged Sexual Assault

LAS VEGAS -- Clark County taxpayers may have to pay settlement money to a sexual assault victim and the family court marshal accused of assaulting her.

The I-Team broke the story of a wide-ranging investigation into family court abuse last month. Marshal Ron Fox was fired for sexually assaulting a woman in court and arresting her when she spoke up about it.

The video the I-Team uncovered is spurring outrage with viewers and shaking up the court. But the marshal that internal affairs called a liar may still get a taxpayer funded payday. The I-Team uncovered video of marshal Ron Fox arresting Monica Contreras. She was in court for a protection order hearing.

Internal affairs documents reviewed by the I-Team conclude Fox took Contreras to a side room and inappropriately searched her. When Contreras told the hearing master, Fox arrested her for making a "false allegation against a police officer." There is no Nevada law supporting the stated reason for that arrest.

Hearing master Patricia Doninger ignored Contreras' pleas in the courtroom during her arrest. Tuesday, in court, Fox's attorney said because nobody in court stopped Fox, the arrest was legal.

The video is just insane. The hearing master turned away from her and played with the kid. Video at both links (included the first link as that is where I found out)

1. Outrageous.

In the absence of the video, all of the court employees would have denied this.

2. "All police are violent rapists waiting for the right time and opportunity."

Bull-shit.

[The Straight Story]

4. Agree, but felt it fair to list the source

Even if I don't agree with his/her assessment. Feel free to take it up with them though (as an x-cop I agree with you)

[Archae]

6. That first source is a Rand Paul-ish "libertarian" site.

[The Straight Story]

9. Didn't say I liked it, but get damned either way

Have refrained from sources I found on news searches before but the title fit better and people are all like 'why did you change the title??' - so then I include the source where it came from and people are like 'why did you link there?'

Oh I dunno, I search a million different things and don't have a rolodex of what sites post what kind of things, if I took out that much time for every single thing I posted it would take forever (and when I DO have any doubt I try to get a second source like I did here but still give credit back).

[Savannahmann]

3. Gee, cops and the judges who protect them.

Who would have thunk it?

[Buzz Clik]

5. "All police are violent rapists waiting for the right time and opportunity." Rank bullshit.

I quit reading after that. Trashing the thread, blocking the author of the OP.

Offensive horseshit.

[Katashi_itto]

22. Agree, more brilliance from the select Fem group the resides here on DU

[Poll_Blind]

7. HOLY SHIT. People should watch that video. OMG. nt

PB

[Archae]

8. Why did you post that first source horseshit in the first place?

[The Straight Story]

10. See my reply to you above. (nt)

[siligut]

11. She was there for a protection order hearing?

There was no reason to search her at all, Ron Fox just wanted to see those boobs up-close.

[MellowYellow]

12. God forbid you deviate from posting a government approved and corporate owned source. We want to be

told what to think! We can't be expected to waste our time thinking for ourselves. *sarcassim*

I read these kinds of threads every single day, and every single day the same cop apologists come in and tell us how most cops are the good guys. If most cops are good then why do over half of them admit they've stayed silent about another cops dirty deeds?

Me thinkith they shillith to much

[pennylane100]

15. I read a couple of sites that detail police abuse

and the thing that surprised me most was the number of cops that are charged with sexual assault and often with minors. It is quite disturbing. There is an alarming number of police brutality cases reported on a daily basis. The use of cell phone cameras has really made the public much more aware of the problem. We need a better screening system before these people are hired.

[MellowYellow]

17. I agree, but we're never going to get better screening because the lame stream media refuses to give

fair coverage to this issue. Too many people won't even look at a story no matter how true it is, unless it comes from a talking head at corporate owned media. And then because they're uninformed they continue to preach the lie about how there are very few bad cops. I applaud you for thinking outside the box.

[The Straight Story]

16. Well, as noted, I used to be a cop

And yeah, there are some really good ones out there.

But the bad ones seem to have gotten more and more in control of things.

One story I have related many times over the years is that after I first starting working at the county jail I found pot on an inmate. The cops missed it. Our intake deputies missed it. I found on it him before sending him back to his cell.

Reported it to my cpl and asked if he wanted me to file a report, etc. Nope. He said he would handle it and never heard a word about it again. I know where it ended up

There is systemic corruption - but there is also the other side of it where inmates (and those related) will do anything they can to bring down a cop to punish them (even though they don't prosecute, etc). I have had an inmate wait outside the jail and follow me home before.

I have also gotten out of many tickets because I was a cop, even when I ceased being one (except one) - and several of the ones I got out of was because I knew I was being pulled over for BS reasons and told the cops that.

Cops though are like politicians. They tend to protect each other when they can. And it is not just in official matters. Some own side businesses. And that is a whole other ball game.

I would never go back to that line of work and glad I didn't make a career out of it. And it is worse still when you get to judges and prosecutors (I did security at the county court house before I became a deputy).

[pennylane100]

20. Well you sound like you was a very good one.

It is too bad that the system is so messed up that good people do not stay there long.

[dogknob]

21. "I know where it ended up"

Here? https://soundcloud.com/dogknob/bad-pot-luk

Yeah that relationship between the number of people who say "almost all cops are good cops" and the number of cops who basically admit to being dirty is a dysfunctional one.

I've read your stuff for 5 years and if you had been a dirty cop, you either wouldn't be here posting what you post or you experienced a dramatic and complete mental transformation.

Either way, keep on, Straight

[damnedifIknow]

13. To serve and protect

[Savannahmann]

14. Nuts

To abuse and intimidate would be more accurate

[UtahLib]

18. This is stomach turning. Where is this?

It seems the entire police department witnessed the abuse. Please tell me these abusive bastards suffered appropriate consequences. It's cops such as these and the ones covering for them who perpetuate a negative opinion of all law enforcement officials.

[Jamastiene]

19. Kinda hard to put your hands behind your back when

you have all those huge assholes wrestling you down and beating you repeatedly.

All those assholes need to be fired.

On edit: I finally watched it to the end and saw how many came in later.

[justiceischeap]

23. I think the beginning of the video said the 2 cops had been fired

It started out bad (he was just standing there and then bam, headlock and wrestled to the ground) and went to horrific. I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't broken his leg.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

24. Possibly new developments, or maybe just picked up at another website.
