I think that Judge Manley hides behind his robe and "accolades"


Does he think that just because he has so many websites with positive reviews that he can just do whatever he wants to other people and their children?

You can see here what Judge Manley is going off of. The previous judge (Alcala) https://ballotpedia.org/Javier_Alcala

allowed a psychologist to write a psychological report without my participation. I never even met or spoke with the psychologist. But that did not stop a report from entering the record at the taxpayers expense.

Said report completely absolved Valerie Houghton and Judge James Towery of all their misconduct and criminal activity.

See an excerpt here:

Now Judge Manley is insisting that I participate in the cover up. There is a warrant for my arrest from his department.

Not even a two year old getting raped bothers Judge Manley. He is completely callous.

He also knows that not addressing the child molestation is allowing a pedophile to volunteer at several schools in Santa Clara County.

Judge Manley should be prioritizing the needs of the community. I sent him all of Valerie Houghton's sick sexual posts, as well as a photo of my injuries. It didn't make a difference.

You can see what he was privy to here:

We have already gone through the Me Too movement, the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco, and the Catholic Church scandal. Judge Manley is supposed to set an example that exemplifies appropriate behavior.

Instead, he is negating all the progress that has been made in fighting sexual abuse.

Judge Manley abuses his authority to help violent sex traffickers.

He is a cruel and callous man. It's all about power and privilege. He must think that he is entitled do whatever he wants to other people and their kids - complete arrogance.

Judges are supposed to always protect our community.

This judge is allowing Valerie Houghton to use the proceedings lodged against me to sex traffic my children. I have been begging Judge Manley to stop the proceedings or send it to the trial courts. He knows that my kids are being sexually abused, and that allowing the proceedings to continue is preventing the county from conducting a screening.

Judge Manley also knows that I am beings assaulted because I refuse to damage my standing to protect my kids. He just doesn't care about the great bodily harm that I continue to suffer. I now have a warrant for my arrest.

I have posted more info here, including pictures of my injuries.

His cases never make it to trial. He orders Defendants to be drugged against their will. He declares all his Defendants to be mentally incompetent to stand trial. He denies all who appear before him their guaranteed constitutional right to a speedy trial with an impartial jury. He is really a controlling wacko. He is being sued for deprivation of civil rights. He is represented by an attorney which Black's Law Dictionary says makes him a ward of the court and a legal incompetent. He has embezzled public funds and conspired to embezzle public funds for his private legal defense, as he is being sued in his personal capacity.
