Association of Washington Cities Attorney Michael Kenyon covering up rape, kidnapping and attempting murder of a 5 year old girl from Cowlitz County, Washington, 1992.
The prime suspect is John Edward Pennington Jr. former Director of Emergency Management, fired after he killed 43 people in the Oso Washington Mudslides
John Edward Pennington Jr. submitting false academic credential to obtain employment, falsely claiming to be a professor. According to an insider, John Pennington claimed a disability at Pierce College that Pierce had to hire an assistant to teach after he was caught harassing another instructor at Pierce College in Tacoma Washington. Now, Pennington collects a state welfare check without lifting one finger.
WARNING: KEEP YOUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM JOHN E. PENNINGTON
When’s a scum bag always a scum bag. ” Meet John “Theodore Bundy” Pennington. Also known as the man who caused thousands of deaths in the Hurricane Katrina Debacle and 44 deaths in Oso Washington mudslides. In the late 1980’s, after flunking out of Vanderbilt College in Tennessee, John Pennington moved to a small suburban city just outside of San Diego California. While in San Diego, Pennington meet his new victim, who believe he legally married, so are calling her ex wife # 1.
Two years later, John Pennington fled from Southern California, again heading home to Nashville, only after two small boys made allegations of sexual abuse against him while on a church camping trip.
While in Tennessee, Pennington made an unsuccessful run for an open Republican State Rep. After a landslide loss for Pennington, he again headed west. This time to Oregon, where he met his next victim Loraina ( thank you for talking me and thanks for following the reporter). In the early 1990’s Mr. Pennington plead guilty to criminal harassment after he hospitalized his finance in Oregon. As a result, John Pennington fled from Oregon to Vancouver Washington. While in Vancouver, John Pennington meets his next victim. Sadly, they soon married.
While working in a coffee delivery business, John Pennington stole coffee grinding equipment from his previous employer and used this equipment to start up a coffee shop in Kelso. Purpose was to make it look like he was an entrepreneur ( but he is really a sociopath) as to grab an uncontested Republican seat in Colwitz County.
It worked, Pennington managed to get elected to an uncontested WA House of Representatives seat. Unfortunately for residents in New Orleans and Oso Washington, he met a powerful Washington State Republican leader, Jennifer Dunn.
In 1992, a 5 year old girl was kidnapped, raped, and then tossed along a Colwitz County road like a piece of trash. According to Colwitz County Sheroff’s Office, John Pennington became one of two prime suspects for the following reasons: (1) Pennington operated a coffee delivery route within six blocks of where the child was dumped; (2) he drove the same car; (3) Pennington was in the area at the time of the child rape; (4) Pennington’s picture from 1992 is almost a complete match to the child and witness’s sketch drawing of the pedophile; and (5) Pennington relentlessly convinced his ex wife to call the police attempting to divert attention away from himself and onto another man.
According to police records, Mr. Pennington has deep seeded anger management issues ( but he did pass one anger management class) and major issues with racism, just as his father (a Nashville police officer) does. John Pennington, former DEM for Snohomish County, has countless child abuse and spousal abuse complaints against him; Mr. Pennington is a racist according to people close to him he said ” I only support abortion when a white woman is raped by a black man” Just like Hitler, Pennington has a real disdain for minorities “Birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine.
According to sources close to John Pennington he is also an abuser of prescription pills, and was detained at the US Mexico for having narcotics ( non-prescription pain pills) on his person while coming back into the US. Pennington has never denied this allegation.
From 1992 to 2005, John Pennington’s violence grew with his ex wife. # 2 . From pushing her down stairs and constant physical abuse are just some examples of what we know to be true.
But the case that raised our eyebrows is Mr. Pennington’s abuse on his ex-wife # 2 ( who is really ex wife # 3) Anne Laughlin. Ms. Laughlin was a City of Duvall city council member at the time of Pennington’s assault of Anne. Anne was three weeks away from giving birth to her daughter when Pennington violently assaulted, kicked and punched Anne in the stomach and uterual area. A real salt of the earth kind of man.
Since Ms. Laughlin was a Duvall city council member at the time, the City of Duvall sought a Special Prosecutor. The prosecutor assigned to prosecute wife beater John Pennington came from the law firm of Kenyon Disend.
In 2009 when Pennington assaulted Laughlin, this was his third domestic violence charge. This should have amounted to jail time for Pennington.
NOW COMES, Michael Kenyon. A hater of open government, and the attorney responsible for hiding public records involving former Mayor Colleen Hawkins. Kenyon’s hiding of public records in violation of RCW 42.56 is well documented through the case involving local Gold Bar residents Joan and Robert Amen.
Public records we received document that attorney Michael Kenyon made an illegal agreement with the City of Sammamish to hide Hawkins email communication, and then refused to release public records claiming that he no longer had them. According to Washington State Attorney General Nancy Krier such agreements are not permissible under the Public Records Act. A fact that we are not sure that she shared with Kenyon. In 2008 one of Kenyon Disend’s lawyers ( Special Prosecutor) managed to quash John Pennington’s domestic violence charges. Soon thereafter, the Law Firm of Kenyon Disend received two lucrative contracts, one with the City of Duvall and the other with the City of Gold Bar.
Then in 2011, Kenyon Disend’s junior attorney, Ann Marie Soto, received an email from John Pennington via Snohomish County computers demanding that Kenyon Disend redact police reports involving John Pennington’s that we requested under RCW 42.56. We sought the advice of an expert in records issues who is of the opinion that Kenyon Disend’s redaction of police reports was not permissible under the Public Records Act.
Then a source close to ex # 2 ( or # 3 depending on what public records you believe as it relates to Pennington’s aliases) provided us with thousands of records relating to John Pennington, and those records included Pennington’s email communication with Duvall’s Mayor about how to get Pennington’s soon to be ex-wife Anne Laughlin off the City Council.
In 2009, Pennington then used Aaron Reardon’s connection to the Seattle Times reporter ( who then became Reardon’s aide) to post a story about Anne Laughlin, pretty much the same way he did to Gold Bar Reporters in February 2012. Former Seattle Times reporter Emily Heffner was contacted for comment but all she would say is ” you need to move because they are coming after you.” She never did state who “they” were, but as we stated to Ms. Heffner before, “We have only one live to give and it shall be for the betterment of our society as a whole.”
As of today, Attorney Michael Kenyon and Ann Marie Soto have bilked the taxpayers of Gold Bar over $840,000.00 hiding former Mayor Crystal Hill’s public records ( emails) documenting that she was practicing law without a license, and John Pennington making racist comments about President Obama and running illegal ACCESS background checks in violation of RCW 10.97.
The bigger question that Michael Kenyon refused to answer was what he gained for quashing John Pennington’s criminal charges for beating up his pregnant wife Anne, hiding Pennington’s racist comments and his illegal background checks. We affirmatively John Pennington, former DEM for Snohomish County, has countless child abuse and spousal abuse complaints against him; Mr. Pennington is a racist according to people close to him he said ” I only support abortion when a white woman is raped by a black man” Just like Hitler, John E. Pennington has a real distain for minorities
GOLD BAR REPORTER 
SEATTLE’S EPSTEIN – PART 10
March 20, 2023
Lloyds of London Running a State Assisted Monopoly
Lloyds of London’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) is a house of cards. “It’s a very old story. Greed. Power. Arrogance. It never lasts”, semi-retired journalist Robert Greenwald said.
In Washington State, Lloyds of London RICO is collectively managed by Washington State Attorney General (WA AG) Bob Ferguson and Association of Washington Cities/Counties (AWC). It’s Chief Executive Officer is attorney Deanna Dawson. The Attorney General and AWC are also an arm of the State Executive’s Office, also known as the Governor’s Cabinet.
WA AG Bob Ferguson started his career as an attorney protecting the Catholic Church from sex abuse claims in Guadalupe Arizona. The Catholic Chruch is insured by Lloyds. WA AG Bob Ferguson and King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg decided the best way to help their client, Lloyds, was to allege that the statute of limitations had lapsed against Lloyds of London and its syndicates, thus denying victims of sex abuse their day in court.
It’s important to note for readers that WA AG Bob Ferguson is an arm of the Washington State’s Executive Office. Governor Jay Inslee is the Executive in Washington State. In the United States, citizens have two ways of picking state court judges, either by election or by appointment of the state governor. Open Judicial seats are always filled by political appointment of the Governor, but at the bequest, collectively, of WA AG Bob Ferguson and Association of Washington Cities/Counties (AWC). AWC is a syndicate of Lloyds of London.
In 2020, the Gold Bar Reporter was first to report that Washington State Attorney General (WA AG) Bob Ferguson entered into an illegal contract to provide a legal defense to the City of Gold Bar, Snohomish County, Washington State Supreme Court and the Washington State Bar Association.
This criminal racketeering conduct not only violates the Separation of Powers Doctrine, it also creates a monopoly in violation of Sherman Anti-Trust. John Scannell, a public interest attorney also argues that its “dishonest services” or case fixing and amounts to RICO.
Under the Separation of Powers Doctrine, the Judiciary cannot make agreement with the Executive Office or the Legislature. The Executive Officer cannot make contracts with the Judiciary or the Legislature. The Legislature cannot make contracts with the Judiciary or the Executive Office. The intention behind a system of separated powers is to prevent the concentration of power by providing for checks and balances. But here in Washington, such violations of basic principles of separation of powers has and continues to be violated by Washington State Attorney General (WA AG) Bob Ferguson, and the Washington State Supreme Court entering into illegal contracts with each branch spitting on the Constitution.
Those not familiar with AWC’s CEO attorney Deanna Dawson might recall that Ms. Dawson was engaged in “ get ahead by sleeping with Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon scandal” which exposed Ms. Dawson for misappropriating Snohomish County public money for pleasure travel in Europe with disgraced former Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon. When the Snohomish County Daily Herald published this “wag the dog” article on disgraced Executive Aaron Reardon, he was not only sleeping with a county employee from the public health division, he was sleeping with and traveling Europe on the taxpayer’s dime with Snohomish County Executive employee attorney Deanna Dawson.
The Gold Bar Reporter was first to report on this scandal in July 2010. As result of the Gold Bar Reporter’s articles, attorney Deanna Dawson and Aaron Reardon were forced to resign, and Dawson disappeared for years but was later hired by Lloyds of London’s syndicate AWC as its Chief Executive Officer.
Bob Ferguson also worked for Special Assistant Attorney General (SAAG) and Special Assistant Prosecutor (SAP) law firm Preston Ellis & Gates. While employed at Preston, Bob Ferguson hired Jack Abramoff to gain privileges with President George W Bush’s administration. Jack Abramoff was arranging sex with children for politicians in Olympia in exchange for lobbying contracts with Preston, Ellis & Gates. But Abramoff got greedy and decided to represent government interests while at the same time pushing Native American interests. As a result, Jack Abramoff was charged with RICO, and those charges were brought under George W. Bush Jr.’s Administration. Because Jack Abramoff knew too much about government officials sex with children scandal involving several Washington State Representatives and Washington State Bar members, such as Marlin Applewick, Attorney G. Geoffrey Gibbs, WA State Senator John Lovick, Rep. John Edward Pennington Jr ( aka as Seattle’s Epstein), and WSBA counsel Doug Ende, Jack Abramoff received a sweetheart deal for 5 years in prison in exchange for his silence. The Bush Administration wanted to bury the human trafficking charges that should have been brought against high-ranking members of Bush Administration. That included Fairbanks resident (who also claims, illegally, residence in Duvall Washington but is registered to vote in Alaska), John Edward Pennington Jr.
Although Bush fired John Edward Pennington Jr as FEMA Region X Director after the FBI discovered that Pennington raped of a child in 1992 in Cowlitz County Washington and tried to murder a woman named Loraina in Oswego Oregon in 1990, Bush Administration failed to warn the public of Pennington’s crimes against women and children. Instead, Bush fired Pennington allowing him to commit more crimes in Snohomish County Washington.
In 2011, John Edward Pennington Jr. sexually assaulted a Department of Emergency Management (DEM) public records officer named Diana. Pennington’s sexual assault of Diana occurred inside Snohomish County DEM. After a friend of Diana’s reported Pennington’s sexual assault to county executive, Diana was paid off ($75,000 from Snohomish County) and received a promotion to head the City of Marysville Emergency Management Office in exchange for her silence of Pennington’s sexual assault. Today, Diana receives an annual salary of $145,000.00 year, quite a boost from her $42,500.00 salary she received as a mere public records officer prior to reporting Pennington for sexual assault and attempted rape.
Under RICO, sadly, the US District Attorney decides whether or not to indict someone. The US Attorney is the public’s last line of defense against public corruption in a specific geological area of the United States. In Western Washington, Special Assistant Attorney General, Nick Brown, was appointed by the United States President, at the bequest of Governor Jay Inslee and WA AG Bob Ferguson. Mr. Brown worked for SAAG law firm, Pacific Law Group. Pacific Law Group’s main client is Lloyds of London’s syndicate AON.
AON also provides insurance for Snohomish County’s risk pool. Snohomish County’s risk pool includes every city in Snohomish County, including Gold Bar and City of Sultan. AON is a syndicate of Lloyds of London. Pacifica Law Group is Lloyds Washington State’s Level 3 insurer, and WA AG Bob Ferguson has created a monopoly by labeling all county prosecutors’ as SAAGs.
In Washington State, the AG is hand picking judges and US Attorneys in an effort to fix cases to insure convictions and favorable civil decisions on behalf of its insurer, Lloyds of London, and its syndicates. Sole purpose of Lloyd’s of London’s “case fixing scam” is “risk management” or profits over people. Profits that only affect a small few, also known as WA State’s RICO members. RICO members include both state and federal judges, county employees, prosecutors, public defenders, and private law firms also known as WA SAAGs and Special Deputy Prosecuting attorneys such as Keating, Buckling and McCormick, Madrona Law Group, Ogden Murphy and Wallace, Pacific Law Group, Law, Lyman, Daniel, Kamerrer & Bogdanovich, and Smith Goodfriend.
Over the last fifteen years our research has proven that WA AG Bob Ferguson is fixing cases in every area of law in Washington State by making political appointments who have a financial benefits to the AG. Lloyds of London and its syndicates insure judges, Washington State Attorney General, legislators, prosecutors, public defenders, public university employees (strangely includes University of Washington’s Innocence Project), city officials, county employees, the private Washington State Bar employees, private law firms and its’ attorneys, police officers, etc. WA AG Bob Ferguson even runs non-profit groups like Victim Support Services, Dawson Place, and the private Washington State Bar Association. Lloyds, along with the help of WA AG Bob Ferguson are ensuring all of the above in a “pooled insurance” otherwise known as a Sherman Antitrust monopoly. A game everyone knows is controlled by one person. In WA State, WA AG Bob Ferguson is head of the monopoly.
Attorney Jeffrey S. Myers from SAAG law firm of , Law, Lyman, Daniel, Kamerrer & Bogdanovich said “they will not let her win.” Jeffrey Myers slip of the lip referring to “ they” was referring to Lloyds of London’s Sherman Anti-Trust scam assisted by Washington State’s AG who pooled insurance to further his monopoly otherwise known as “case fixing.”
Over the last twenty years, we have researched every judiciary in Washington State, from Thurston County to Spokane County, and here’s what we know to be true. Ninety percent ( 90 %) of the judges are handpicked by WA AG Bob Ferguson is or was a Washington State Attorney General at some point in their career.
The list of Judges handpicked by WA AG Bob Ferguson’s RICO is too lengthy to list, but for sake of this argument, we are outing several judges in different counties in Washington State who were directly appointed by WA AG Bob Ferguson to fix cases on behalf of the state.
In Thurston County Superior Court, Carol Murphy ( former head of the WA State’s AG Torts Division) and Allyson Zypp, former WA AGs, and employees of Washington State Attorney General’s torts division. King County Superior Court Judges, Jim E. Rogers, Marshall Ferguson, Ken Shubert, Michael Segal, and Michael Scott, all former Special Assistant Attorney Generals (SAAGs) and Special Assistant Deputy Prosecutors for Thurston, Spokane, King and Snohomish Counties (SAPs). All are good friends to WA AG Bob Ferguson.
In Snohomish County, SAAGs George Appel, Bruce Weiss, Marybeth Dingledy, Millie Judge, Cindy Larsen, Edirin Okoloko, and Janice Ellis, are SAPs and SAAGs for WA AG Bob Ferguson at some point and time in their careers.
Spokane County Judges Annette Please, Rachelle E. Anderson, Michael Price.
In Clark County, Judges Gregory M. Gonzales, Camara L. J. Banfield , John P. Fairgrieve, Jennifer K. Snider, Suzan L. Clark, and Emily A. Sheldrick. The foregoing judges were all former SAAGs and SAPs working for the Washington State’s Attorney General’s Office prior to WA AG Bob Ferguson making their political appointments.
After researching several of the above judge’s criminal history records, we discovered that several judges have been convicted of or charged with crimes. In King County, Judge Jim E. Rogers and Michael Scott were accused of molesting children. In Snohomish County, Marybeth Dingledy, was convicted of drunk driving and was on methamphetamine while driving drunk. Marybeth Dingledy is still hearing and deciding cases while using methamphetamine and often drunk. A process server went to her house with a subpoena and said “ she was high as a kite when she answered the door.”
Judge Annette Please from Spokane County has a drug addiction to cocaine and is using a convicted felon named Charles Fleck to provide cocaine to several Spokane County Superior Court Judges.
In each of the above cases, Lloyds of London and its syndicates, which includes Association of Washington Cities, Cities Insurance of Washington, Washington Association of Counties, and Washington Association of Judges, cover up public officers’ criminal conduct as “risk management.” The best example of Lloyd’s of London’s covering liability as risk management was evidenced by the murder of George Floyd. George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer who had eighteen excessive force complaint filed against him before he murdered George Floyd. In each excessive force complaint, Lloyds and its syndicates dismissed complaints as “risk management.” If they had no committed RICO offenses against George Floyd, he would still be alive today.
As for non-profits like Victim Support Services, Dawson Place, and the private Washington State Bar Association, Lloyds of London and its syndicates insure its members. Not only does Lloyds of London insure its members, the Washington State Attorney General’s Office is illegally gifting employees of these private organizations a Washington State taxpayer funded retirement (PERs). As examples, Washington State Bar Association, who the Washington State Supreme Court labeled a “private association” in the Lincoln Beauregard decision, and its employees are solely paid by the taxpayers of Washington State, yet the Washington State Supreme Court held in the Lincoln Beauregard decision, fraudulently, that it does not receive any public monies.
Crystal D. Hill’s Sexually Transmitted Disease Records Became Public Record
In 2008, John Edward Pennington Jr., and his convicted bank frauding wife, Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg), were passing sexually transmitted diseases (STD) to several government officers in Washington State. Crystal Hill ( aka Crystal D Hill) Pennington infected Snohomish County Judge Joseph Wilson, former Gold Bar Chief of Police (2008-2010), Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officer Jeff Ross ( who is married to Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Cindy Larsen), former Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, former Washington Senator, now Washington State Auditor, Steve Hobbs (Lake Stevens), and Prosecutors Mark Roe and Sean Reay with STD.
When the Washington State Department of Health (WA DH) learned that Crystal Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. were passing STD to various people, they were sent a letter by the WA DH ordering them to get treated, notify any sexual partner each had, and cease and desist all sexual activity until a doctor certifies that they were clear of infections. Unfortunately for Crystal Berg Hill Pennington, she used the City of Gold Bar’s mailing address because her home was being foreclosed on for non-payment of her mortgage.
According to former clerk Laura Kelly, “Crystal left her door open at City Hall, and Karl Majerle, would come in early and read her mail. Karl used her STD and notification list to STD infected county employees, as leverage for raises, to steal from the city of Gold Bar, and for money pays outs. Karl also knew that Crystal Hill had been twice convicted of bank fraud spent time in jail and had been convicted three times for fraud. He used that information to extort Snohomish County Prosecutors, Gold Bar City Council members, and Crystal Hill into not following through with criminal charges against him.”
In 2008, Gold Bar’s water employee, Karl Majerle was not only caught stealing from the City of Gold Bar, by former council member Dorothy Croshaw, he also sabotaged the City of Gold Bars water system. Majerle was not only guilty of theft of more than $1500, but he was also guilty of Domestic Terrorism under the Patriot Act.
Knowing that Crystal Hill Pennington had infected Snohomish County police officer Jeff Ross, Snohomish County Judge Joseph Wilson, and Prosecutors Sean Reay and Mark Roe with STD, Marjerle used that information to extort Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay and Mark Roe into not reporting Karl Marjerle’s acts of Domestic Terrorism of sabotaging the City’s water system to the Homeland Security.
What the taxpayers of Gold Bar did not know is that Sean Reay and Mark Roe were tampering with the FBI’s National Information Center (NCIC) records as political favors. According to a former Snohomish County Prosecutor “Sean Reay thought Executive Aaron Reardon was going to the Governor’s Mansion. Reay and Roe even had plans to be the next Washington State Attorney General, until the Gold Bar Reporter exposed their RICO conduct. Ironic how Mark Roe was forced to resign from the Washington State Bar Association after the he sexually harassed women and gays inside his office, and Sean Reay was demoted to a handle low level pro se litigants in Snohomish County’s civil unit because of gang banging Crystal Hill” a former Prosecutor said.
Because one of Gold Bar’s council members, Lonn Turner, was also a Monroe Department of Corrections Officer, agreed to commit RICO offenses on behalf of protecting a whore from Gold Bar, WA AG Bob Ferguson stepped in to protect Lloyds of London RICO members from liability. Gold Bar’s former Mayor Joe Beavers, a convicted felon himself, called Crystal D. Hill a whore three times in executive meetings.
We later learned that Joe Beavers had been arrested for and convicted of twice, once for sexually assaulting a woman in a bar in Arlington Texas, and another for passing bad checks in the State of Ohio.
In the Western District of Washington State federal court, Judge Ricardo Martinez, and Richard Jones, who were also a SAAGs for WA AG Bob Ferguson, and who both are still on the Washington State’s payroll, have continuously thwarted any attempt by citizens to hold anyone of the RICO members accountable for their criminal racketeering conduct. Both were appointed under the Direction of Washington’s Governor and Attorney General.
Moving the Pedophile from Parish to Parish
John Edward Pennington Jr. kidnapped, raped, and tried to murder a 5-year-old girl in Cowlitz County Washington in 1992. In 2010, he sexually assaulted a public officer named Diana, inside Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management (DEM). He spent hours trying to hack into the Gold Bar Reporter news site while being paid $145,000.00 a year by Snohomish County. He killed 43 people in the Oso mudslides because he was operating a small business, in violation of Snohomish County’s Ordinance that prohibited county salaried employees from holding any other job, instead of mitigating damages in a slide area that Seattle Times reported was major risk to human life since 1968. He was labeled a sociopath “with no empathy for human life whatsoever’ by a King County Superior Court appointed medical doctor Dr. Hedricks, and was diagnosed with Autism. In 2021, he was fired from Overlake Hospital for stalking a mother while on duty as Overlake, and was fired from Pierce College in Tacoma Washington after he sexually and verbally assaulted a student. Then in 2022, he was fired from University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for assaulting a professor. Somehow, he was allowed to enter a Ph.D. program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with false academic credentials. But when we sent a complaint to the OIG Department of Education citing UAF and Pennington’s fraudulent academic credentials, UAF decided to flunk him from UAF Ph.D. program, and he was terminated from teaching classes at UAF because of our news reports.
One less pedophile like John Edward Pennington Jr. collecting a welfare check on the state or federal welfare system is a good day.
The Gold Bar Reporter has written extensively since 2009 about government misconduct. Lloyds of London and its syndicates have been sued before for RICO, and many more are coming against Lloyds syndicates.
