I would like to explain the personal toll and collateral damage in my public records case
One record I eventually obtained only by mistake on the part of the agency was an administrative synopsis written by Mike EDGELL the Chief of the Nevada State Police.
It described the conduct of the deputy insurance commissioner at issue as immoral, disgraceful, and criminal.
The synopsis also noted that if the matter became public, it could reflect poorly on the State, and that I had spoken to the press. The police knew that because I allowed them to search my phone while they interviewed me.
The press was waiting for an arrest before running the story.
There was no arrest. Thus, there was no story.
That former Deputy Insurance Commissioner was asked to resign shortly thereafter with a neutral reference, according to public records, and went on to be an Assistant Attorney General in Vermont. He was again asked to resign based upon my very credible allegations. His disbarment due to this matter is currently pending in Vermont. He is trying to give up his law license, so there is no PUBLIC record of what happened.
Nearly two years later, I am still trying to determine who received the evidence, who, if anyone, reviewed it, and why they decided that a violent crime recorded on video would not result in charges.
The only explanation I received came from District Attorney Steve Wolfson. He told me that because I had stayed in that relationship, a relationship that was fraught with further sexual assaults, threats of physical violence, and threats of murder-suicide, QUOTE his office could prosecute men who raped prostitutes, but that I had stayed with him. END QUOTE
Under Nevada law, that does not negate my screams that night.
Nor should it.
The Attorney General’s office has refused, in opposition to Marcy’s law, to even acknowledge any call, email, or social media post I have made for the past two years. They simply refuse to respond to me when all I want to know is why a public official who raped me on video was not prosecuted.
For me, these records are not abstract.
They are not curiosity.
They are not politics.
They are the only path I have left to understanding what happened
The night I was raped, I screamed and begged to be heard.
No one stopped it.
Years later, I am still in that night, screaming through records requests, complaints, court filings, and hearings.
These are not public records to me.
They are my records.
They are how I am trying to understand why I was not heard that night, and why I am still fighting to be heard by the Attorney General now.
