Seattle: May 20, 2022
Several potential clients contacted the Gold Bar Reporter about filing Washington State Bar complaints against Crystal Hill Pennington’s bar license, and she only been in practice for one week. For Gold Bar residents, this is no surprise. Ms. Hill Pennington steals from her clients, employers, and has spent time in prison for theft. Why and how she managed to get a Washington State Bar license with fraudulent academic credentials- all online from online schools the Department of Education labeled fraud.
In addition to her theft, Crystal Hill Pennington passed sexually transmitted disease (STD) to several public officials. In one case, her husband, John Edward Pennington Jr., raped a five-year-old child, and is guilty of trafficking children for sex along with Court of Appeals Div I. Justice Marlin Applewick and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.

Duvall Washington convicted bank frauder and Duvall Washington Lawyer under investigation for stealing from clients. Racketeering charges pending and she was found liable of forgery. Ms. Hill Pennington changed her name from Crystal Hill Pennington to Crystal Berg to Crystal Hill to cover up her criminal racketeering crimes.
Anyone with complaints against Ms. Hill Pennington WSBA license is encouraged to send the Gold Bar Reporter a copy of your complaint at GoldBarReporter@comcast.net. Your complaints will be published.
Between 2015 to 2017, Crystal Hill Pennington (nee Berg) along with John Edward Pennington Jr. attempted to obtain countless “restraining orders” against Anne Block, the Gold Bar Reporter. The reason was simple: Ms. Hill Pennington filed countless criminal complaints claiming that she was unable to find employment as a result of our news reports on her extensive criminal history.
In Pierce County, on April 27, 2017, a Washington State Judge held a 3.5 hour hearing, at which time, the Gold Bar Reporter presented copies of Ms. Hill Pennington criminal history records documenting that she is a twice convicted bank frauder, once in North Carolina where she served time in jail, and once in Snohomish County Washington where she plead guilty.
Ms. Hill Pennington uses several aliases, and aka as Crystal Berg and Crystal Pieneiche.
For over ten years, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) and John Edward Pennington Jr. operated a foe website titled the ” Sky Valley Chronicle.” Public records confirm John E Pennington Jr did this right from his office inside Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management. john E. Pennington was fired for his criminal harassment in late 2016.
Crystal Hill Pennington was unemployed from February 2010, to April 2020. She was fired from every job she ever held which included Snohomish County Community Transit, and attorney Mark Weiss’s office. Inside Community Transit Ms. Hill Pennington was caught stealing ( excess of $300) and lying on her job application. Because Ms. Hill Pennington’s mother was a long term employee at Community Transit, they agreed not to criminally prosecute in 2002.
In 2010, Ms. Hill Pennington was also fired from attorney Mark Weiss’s office after he caught her practicing law without a license, writing and serving divorce motions for her new lover, John E Pennington Jr, in King County Washington, Laughlin v Pennington.
After Attorney Mark Wiess fired Crystal Hill for the crime of practicing law without a license, she applied for unemployment benefits lying about the reason why she was fired. The WA Security Division received a fraud report from another resident, and after a 90 day investigation, Ms. Hill Pennington was found to have falsely filed for unemployment benefits and court ordered to pay back over $6000.00 she stole. The State’s court filed in King County where Ms. Hill Pennington resides.
After Ms. Hill Pennington (nee Berg) plead guilty to bank fraud in Snohomish County, she was appointed as a Gold Bar city council member by another fraudster, Colleen Hawkins. Ms. Hawkins had her owns problems of using her husband’s security clearance inside Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to run illegal background checks on citizens. Ms. Hawkins used her husband, a Sheriff Officer, to run illegal backgrounds on her opponents just before the election. What Ms. Hawkins found was a juvenile criminal conviction of her opponent from another state, and then disseminated the illegally obtained information via Gold Bar city emails. The only problem for Ms. Hawkins was that the criminal history she illegally gathered on her opponent was from a state that “seals” juvenile records.
As a twice convicted criminal, Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) was compromised, thus an ally to shady people like Coleen Hawkins. People who should be in prison for their crimes. Instead, Ms. Hill changed her name from Crystal Berg to Crystal Hill and ran for Mayor.
According to the Washington State Auditor’s 2012 Report, during Ms. Hill Pennington’s tenor as Mayor there is ” $200,000 missing from the City, and not employee can tell me where it went.”
In July 2008, Ms. Hill and a water employee named Karl Majerle were caught illegally using the City’s gas card for their personal vehicles. Majerle was the only prosecuted for the theft, because Ms. Hill Pennington’s past criminal history of bank fraud convictions, Association of Washington Cities was unable to bond her thus they had every incentive to cover up her crimes. Mr. Majerle knew about Ms. Hill Pennington’s criminal bank fraud convictions and extorted her into not pursuing criminal charges.
But then along came the Gold Bar Reporter, who has written extensively on Ms. Hill Pennington’s fraud; so much so that Ms. Hill Pennington filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter in 2016 claiming ” I cant find work because of Ms. Block’s blog.”
Joe Beavers became Mayor after Ms. Hill Pennington’s lengthy five year extra-martial affair with a forth time married man, John Edward Pennington Jr. For four years, Crystal Hill harassed his wife Ann, and in one extramarital affair with a married man, Fleshman Cooper ( the father of Hill’s child), Ms. Hill was found guilty of criminal harassment and ordered to stay away from Mr. Cooper, his wife and their child.
Fleshman Cooper’s ex-wife said ” Crystal Hill Pennington was abusing my child. I found bruises on my child, and brought charges against Crystal for criminal harassment . . . ” What Ms. Cooper didn’t know is that Crystal Hill was sleeping with several Snohomish County Sheriff’s Officers, one county Judge Joe Wilson, and three county prosecutors.
After siting by watching countless extra marital affairs committed by John E Pennington, with whores and prostitutes, John E Pennington’s marriage ended, and his mistress, Crystal Hill, who Gold Bar’s Mayor Joe Beavers said ” Crystal Hill is a whore! ” three times in Executive Session, moved in with John E Pennington in 2009.
At the time, Crystal Hill moved in with Pennington, her house was foreclosed on for failing to make a single house payment, and John E. Pennington Jr. was still married to Ann when Ms. Hill Pennington moved in with him.
“Birds of the same feathers flock together as do pigs and swine.’
In late 2012, Block v City of Gold Bar, then Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers was deposed and in that deposition we learned that Joe Beavers was a convicted felon from Arlington Texas. Joe Beavers sexually assaulted a female inside a bar and when a man tried to defend her, a drunkin fight broke out. Joe Beavers plead guilty to assault and was sentenced to 10 days in jail, ordered into anger management classes, and served 3 years probation.
Joe Beavers application to become a Professional Engineer was declined as a result of his felony conviction.
In late 2016, John E Pennington Jr. was fired from Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management after he was caught moonlighting on the county’s dime ( operating his own company and not paying WA State business tax) , operating and having the County taxpayers pay the Penningtons’ blog titled the Sky Valley Chronicle, and after his dereliction of his official county duties resulted in the deaths of 43 residents in the Oso mudslides.
In 2009, Dr. Hedricks from King County Washington labeled John Edward Pennington Jr. “a sociopath with no empathy for human life.” John Pennington was hospitalized at Oregon State hospital after he violently assaulted his prior fiancé in Oregon. As part of his plea deal, claiming he had a mental defect i.e. autism, John Edward Pennington Jr. would undergo mental health confinement at Oregon State Hospital instead of serving time in prison.
For six months John E Pennington Jr. filed false claims that the Gold Bar Reporter was anonymously cyber-stalking him and his family, when in fact, the Gold Bar Reporter has openly posted and appeared inside the press as Anne Block.
Fact is, the Penningtons were cyber-stalking on behalf of Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Office on a foe website titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle” and once Attorney General Bob Fergusson learned about this – after a lawsuit was filed against the Sky Valley Chronicle – he shut them down by saying ” If you don’t stop harassing’s Block on the Chronicle, we are going to let her proceed for defamation against you.”
For years, John Pennington bragged that he was a member of an organization that vowed to protect him if he were ever sued. At the time, we had no idea that Association of Washington Cities has been covering up for pedophiles inside our government offices. Public officials have known to have trafficked underage girls and/or boys for sex include Court of Appeals Justice Marlin Applewick, King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott, Washington State Bar Association Lead Counsel Doug Ende, and Snohomish County Commissioner G. Geoffrey Gibbs.
After the Judge held that Anne Block was a member of the press, denying the Penningtons’ request to stop our news reports on their fraud and harassment, Crystal Hill Pennington teared up, putting on a very poor acting stunt, trying to get the Judge to reconsider his decision. The Judge DENIED Ms. Hill Pennington’s attempts to restrain the Gold Bar Reporter as “Unconstitutional Restraint against Free Speech and the Free Press.”
The real reason why Pierce County denied the restraining order because the Penningtons’ were caught forging court records. Both were found liable for whiting out court service documents, and successfully sued as a result in Block v Penningtons, March 2017, King County Superior Court.
In late 2016, Ms. Hill Pennington filed a police report with Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office claiming she couldn’t find work as a result the Gold Bar Reporter’s news reports. So, as you can imagine, we were quite surprised that a twice convicted bank frauder, a person who filed fraudulent unemployment claims, was in fact found liable for not paying business tax ( King County against the Penningtons Education Services Inc.), and who was also found liable of forgery ( March 2017, Block v Pennington, King County), would be receiving any kind of government job. Especially since we already know Ms. Hill Pennington’s bank fraud convictions make her ineligible for King County, state and federal employment.
In April 2020, acting on false information Ms. Hill Pennington submitted in her job application and resume, King County hired her. This caused us to request public records involving Ms. Hill Pennington ( nee Berg) from King County. Late last week, we got some answers back learning that Ms. Hill Pennington is guilty of fraud once again, but this time in King County Washington.
Ms. Hill Pennington falsely claimed on a King County job application that she was in a Juris Doctorate ( JD Law) program ( she was DENIED entrance into an accredited JD law program because she lied on her application), she worked for various states including Maryland ( during time period where she filed a criminal complaint against the Gold Bar Reporter claiming she couldn’t find work because of our news reports on her crimes), she failed to disclose her criminal history of bank fraud convictions, and she also lied claiming that she was the City Manager for the City of Gold Bar.
According to City of Gold Bar Mayor Bill Clem, the City has never had a city manager.
Criminal complaints against Ms. Hill Pennington are pending and King County employee told the Gold Bar Reporter that Ms. Hill Pennington is being postured for lying on her job application.
Ms. Hill Pennington has never sued the Gold Bar Reporter, but we did sue her and John E Pennington Jr. for harassment, abuse of the process, and forgery. ( Block v Penningtons, King County Superior Court, March 2017) Ms. Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. were found liable for committing forgery, abuse of the process, and harassment against the Gold Bar Reporter for reporting the truth on their rein of terror for the last decade.
______________________________________________________________________________
For Snohomish County government note this report was published from outside the State of Washington. This is mentioned because a source called the Gold Bar Reporter and said ” Ms . Hill Pennington was placed on administrative leave pending a criminal investigation into her false filings via electronic means ( according to our counsel amounts to racketeering), by a non-state investigator. She was steaming and threatening Snohomish County prosecutors and Sheriff’s Office to exposé all of them if they didn’t do something.”
The source who we labeled ” fed up” told the Gold Bar Reporter that Crystal Hill also slept with Prosecutors Adam Cornell, Sean Reay, and Mark Roe. In fact, the source said ” everyone knew Crystal Hill Pennington was having gang banging parties with many county employees for years.” It’s no wonder why former Gold Bar Mayor Joe Beavers declared in Executive Session ” Crystal Hill is whore! Crystal Hill is a whore! Crystal Hill is a whore!” and former Gold Bar council member Jay Prueher said ” Crystal Hill was a party girl.”
The Gold Bar Reporter is an award winning journalist and has been reporting on government officers corruption for a decade. What is happening in Minnesota as well as major cities throughout America is just a symptom of why persons like Crystal Hill Pennington and John Edward Pennington Jr. who have extensive criminal history are placed inside government offices like the officer who murdered George Floyd.
National Public Radio recently did a story about how the insurance company is still insuring bad state actors, covering up liability they created and allowing them to keep their jobs. Minnesota, like WA State, also uses Lloyds of London as it primary insurer of public employee’s civil and criminal misconduct.
The only issue I take with NPR story is they forgot to mention that Lloyds of London syndicates like Association of Washington Cities and Counties are insuring these people with no regard for citizens.
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.
