Domestic Violence Restraining Order to Cover Adultery


(Corona, Ca) October 17, 2006

My wife, Lori Coleman, is now living (residing, cohabitating, shacking up) with Greg Yakel, an "Assistant Den Leader" in my 10 year old son's Cub Scout Troop. I still refer to her as my wife because we are still legally married. We have two children, a boy soon to be 11 and a girl soon to be 6. I have not seen or spoken to my children since June 13, 2005. My children and I are victims of a false and fraudulent Domestic Violence Restraining Order ("DVRO") obtained by Lori Coleman for the sole purpose of obtaining custody of our children so she could continue her adulterous affair with Greg Yakel without fear that the court would learn of her infidelity and grant custody to me.

Victoria Hernandez, a "Domestic Violence Advocate" for Corona based "Alternatives To Domestic Violence" ("ADV") assisted and directed Lori Coleman in the preparation of her application for a DVRO. Victoria Hernandez arranged for Lori Coleman to meet with Corona Detective Bruce Bell on June 14, 2005, to make a "Domestic Violence " report of the events of May 24, 2005 as part of the process for obtaining a preemptive DVRO. But a funny thing happened. Lori Coleman told Detective Bell on (5) five occasions that there had been NO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE or THREATS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE at any time during the course of our relationship. I was not arrested for domestic violence. Rather, on June 15, 2005, I was arrested for burglary (PC 459) for allegedly stealing a camera from my wife's apartment on May 24, 2005 after I discovered her adulterous affair.

On June 17, 2005 Lori Coleman filed an application for a domestic violence restraining order seeking sole physical and legal custody of my children. Of course Lori Coleman did not tell the court that there had been no domestic violence or abuse. But then again, the court never asked her. In her sworn affidavit she made no mention of a burglary or theft of a camera from her apartment. She made no mention of her on going affair. Nonetheless a restraining order was granted and my parental rights were stripped away.

The criminal charges were amended to include felony "stalking" for sending my wife emails suggesting that she should end her affair and we should seek marriage counseling. You see, my wife was a Sunday School Teacher at New Life Community Churchin Corona and preached family values. I thought we might save our marriage and family. On January 9, 2006 the court dismissed all charges for lack of probable cause.

You might think that the story ends here but on March 21, 2006, Corona Detective Bell executed a second affidavit for my arrest for Spousal Abuse (PC 273.5) - Keep in mind he had been told by Lori Coleman that there had been no Domestic Violence or Threat of Domestic Violence. The Riverside District Attorney then refiled the exact same burglary and stalking charge ( no new evidence). I was not charged with spousal abuse although that was the arresting charge. That case remains active today.

On June 29, 2006, I finally received a copy of the recorded statement given by Lori Coleman to Detective Bell a year earlier. A comparisson of the statements made by Lori Coleman to Detective Bell and his court testimony as to what she said resulted in me filing a complaint against Detective Bell for police misconduct ( perjury, fabricating evidence, withholding exculpatory evidence and violation of my civil rights). Predictably, the Corona Police Department found no evidence of misconduct despite the overwhelming evidence. Complaints to the Mayor of Corona and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California fell upon deaf ears.

The Corona Police Department and the Riverside District Attorney re-filed criminal charges against me on 3/21/2006 as a defensive shield against civil liability for violating my civil rights. The continued prosecution is malicious because it is not based on probable cause that any crime has been commited, let alone occurred in the first place. The court has already determined that in the original case. By keeping the criminal charges alive and re-filing criminal charges the Corona Police Department is effectively running interference for Lori Coleman and Greg Yakel and effectively keeping the matter out of the family law court. Interestingly, on November 29, 2005, the Judge who conducted the preliminary hearing opined that this was a case that "should be fought out in the family law court".

This week I learned that Corona Mayor, Karen Spiegel, sits on the Board of Directors for "Alternatives To Domestic Violence" ("ADV"). ADV is a non-profit United Way Agency and a "community partner". Domestic Violence Advocates who work with ADV are not lawyers and therefore are not regulated nor accountable for fraud perpetuated upon the court in obtaining Domestic Violence Restraining Orders. Victoria Hernandez knew or should have known that no domestic violence occurred in this case. Perhaps that will be revealed as the ongoing investigation in this matter continues. Complaints have been made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to the State Bar of California concerning the conduct of the Corona Police Department and the Riverside District Attorney, respectively. I have appealed to Mayor Spiegel to acknowledge her conflict of interest in this matter and requested that both the City of Corona and ADV contact the Riverside Family Law Court to inform them of the circumstances of this case. Corona Detective Bell adamantly denied that there was any relationship between my wife and Greg Yakel. On or about May 31, 2005, Cub Scout Den Leader, Ralph Mendenhall assured me that he was satisfied that Lori Coleman and Greg Yakel were "simply friends".
