Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate
This is my personal experiences with only one Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate, and not meant as an opinion of the entire Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate's office, as a whole.
In the hillsborough county jail, I encountered some people who IMHO really needed to be in there.
Open bragging about how some people physically abused and beat women was all too common in the hillsborough county jail. during my 84 day stay!
Perhaps some of these battered and physically abused women were well served by the Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office?
In the issue of fairness to Hillsborough County Victims Assistance, watch this video ?
IMHO, I feel I was unjustly prosecuted for violating a restraining order, and had to face the full might of my taxpayer dollars, used against me.
Though I feel the Hillsborough County State Attorneys Office did me wrong in this case, I feel they were manipulated and misled by my ex girlfriend.
I think Mark Ober is doing a great job overall for the Taxpayers of this county, and this blog is in total support of Pam Bondi election to Florida Attorney General.
This is who I am Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing in case you were wondering ?
My friends at the Brandon Chamber are quite frankly puzzled by the conduct of the Hillsborough County Florida States Attorneys Office in my case.
We support Pam Bondi, who is running for election to be Florida Attorney General
I have a good name in the community that I live in, and do lots of volunteer roof cleaning work, as well as exterior cleaning jobs for charity.
Here I am, broom in hand, with a few members of The 1500 member Brandon Singles Group I am President of, and Co Founded.
Here is a letter of appreciation from The Emergency Care Help Organization (ECHO) for the volunteer exterior cleaning of their building my members and I performed.
It is my opinion You legally screwed a good person Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, intentionally or not, and I think The Taxpayers in this county should know about it ?
Not only did my attorney and I have to face the Hillsborough County States Attorney Office, and all their taxpayer supported resources, but the Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate as well!
IMHO, Because my ex girlfriend actually LIVED at my home during part of my Legal Jeopardy process, I know that the Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate assigned to my ex girlfriends case was well aware that my ex girlfriend was still having contact and a relationship with me, with an active restraining order in place!
For crying out loud, on one police report from the discovery in this violation of a restraining order case that I obtained through my attorney, my ex girlfriend admits to a Hillsborough County Deputy she ALLOWED me to contact her sometimes, and I even moved her into the current apartment she is now living at!
Look at this below, Eileen Riordan has a HISTORY of obtaining Hillsborough County Restraining Orders against Men, read and weep.

Why did not Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, or Assistant States Attorney Valeria Pretto LOOK at the freaking discovery in this case ?
This is the "testimony" my ex girlfriend gave to the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Deputy.
She says she found several missed calls on her phone from me, why did she not call the police then, if she was so "in fear" ?
She says I came over her apartment, to show her my new car!
She LOOKED at it, and I left.
WTF is she doing even LOOKING at my new car, if a relationship was not going on, despite the restraining order she had against me ?
She CLAIMS that I came by later, and came "charging at her" LOL
She them "claims" that she told me she was calling 911.
Now, think about this, HOW do you call 911 when a 200 lb Man is "charging at you" ?
Answer = You Don't, you run away.
IMHO, Just the fact she did call 911 is proof positive she was in NO danger.
Please read the last 2 sentences in the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office police report above ?
My ex girlfriend admits to ALLOWING me to contact her w/o calling the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office !!!
Is This a "woman in fear", Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing ?
Plus, she admits in the HCSO Police Report, that I am the person who not only FOUND her new apartment for her, but actually moved her into it!!!
Now, I don't know about you, but if I am "scared" and "in fear" of anyone I have a restraining order against, they sure as hell are not going to know where I live ?
Shame on you Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing and States Attorney Valeria Pretto for this malicious and unnecessary prosecution of me !
My ex girlfriend was NEVER in any "danger"
BTW, her "'only witnesses" on this HCSO Police Report were her NEW Boyfriend, and his Mom !!!
Her NEW Boyfriend is an ex convict, who has 2 Prison ESCAPES on his Rap Sheet, as well as Burglary of an OCCUPIED Dwelling, Grand Theft, Assault, etc, etc.!
Wanna SEE his rap sheet Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing ?
Here it is Margaret and Valeria, from a Public Records Check.
I publish it, and all the other information provided on this Blog, not to "harass or punish" any witnesses against me, but to show how desperate in my opinion the Hillsborough County States Attorneys Office was in my case to get a conviction against me, to the TAXPAYERS and concerned citizens of this county!
I think the Taxpayers have the need and the right to see what their Hillsborough County States Attorneys Office is doing ?
Sorry it is so long, and hard to read.
I am not the most computer literate person in Hillsborough County, Florida!

I WISH if I met a girl I liked, I could just insist she call the police to get rid of her 6 year boyfriend she was still seeing, with a restraining order in place, LOL
IMHO, kind of an "easy way" to eliminate his competition, if ya know what I mean ?
All the information I am publishing serves the legitimate purpose of informing the taxpayers of Hillsborough County, Florida that IMHO the case against me was not a good one, and should never have been prosecuted.
No contact with my ex girlfriend, or any members of her family is wanted, nor intended by me.
IMHO, You people ALLOWED my ex girlfriend to manipulate YOU.
Then Margaret Laing, you were there in Court, with your little Pseudo "Victim" when she bold faced committed Perjury when asked by Ellis Faught if she received a 5000.00 Check from me.
HERE is the Check for 5000.00, Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, made out in her OWN Handwriting.
The 5000.00 check was destroyed by her, and a NEW check for 4900.00 was made out by me to her because she was "concerned" that it would screw her up with her Social Security Disability !
Yes IMHO Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, she scammed YOU, like she scammed Disability by borrowing under 5000.00 from me so she would not have to REPORT it!
She borrowed this money from me, promising to pay it back from a settlement she was getting through Kinney, Fernandez and Boire, Hillsborough County Personal Injury Lawyers I freaking TOOK her too, while the restraining order was in place.
IMHO She USED you Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, the HCSO, and she used Valeria Pretto as well.
She PLAYED the system like a Piano, and you assisted her to rip me off.
Can't you see the diabolical "beauty" of all this Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing ?
With me in Prison, she would not have to re pay me for the Money she borrowed ??
Now, I am gonna do my BEST to present the written out and CASHED checks and check stubs, but because I dont TRUST you Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, or Assistant States Attorney Valeria Pretto either after your malicious and un necessary prosecution of me, I will "black out" my ex girlfriends name.
Heaven forbid you TRY and charge me with something else to "shut me up"
IMHO, My story about my horrible experiences with the Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate needs to be told to the Taxpayers of this county.
And you can BET your funding that it will be told.
This Blog is climbing the search results, and MANY people are closely "watching this case"
Will you assist ME Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate Margaret Laing, in my pursuit of Justice ?
IMHO, I am the victim of several counts of Perjury, and having false police reports filed against me.
IMHO, I am the victim of my ex girlfriends crimes against me, do I get my own Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate ??
Here is the Perjury Evidence where she lied in Hillsborough County Circuit Court Margaret and Valeria.
With her name blacked out, temporarily, to not subject myself to any legal ramifications you MAY "have in store" for me ?
Maybe even show it to Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez well ?
My ex girlfriend was NEVER in any "danger" from me at all, as evidenced by her constant and willful contact with me during this restraining order, until she laid her deceitful legal trap!
IMHO, She SCAMMED you, Margaret and Valeria.
IMHO, She used and manipulated the Hillsborough County Florida Legal System to flat RIP me off, then tried to put me in Prison, to get out of repaying my generosity.
Read the evidence, and weep
It is my opinion this clever little manipulator made a mockery of the criminal justice system, and you well meaning, but grossly misinformed people, ALLOWED her to use you.
HAD you looked a little deeper into her past record of obtaining fradulent restraining orders, like the one Judge Raul Palomino threw OUT just a few years ago, it is my opinion you would see she has real mental challenges.
We TRIED to make her show her forearms she has cut up in front of me, her daughter, and witness Anthony Creelman, but you "objected" Valeria Pretto.
She was asked, under OATH, if she cuts up her Forearms ?
Her answer " after whispered converation in court with the Hillsborough County Victims Assistance Advocate ""I do not do that"
Well, guess freaking what, she does, and has the scars to Prove It!
In fact, in my second request for Perjury Prosecution, the Hillsborough County States Attorneys Office will be furninshed with certified court transcripts where Judge Raul Palomillo MADE her show her razor blade scarred forearms in Court!
The razor blade scars are there for all to see, IF you cared enough about Justice to look !
Shame on you Valeria Pretto, you got your little conviction, only because I was denied bond.
But had I got bond in this case, we would have rocked and rolled in a full blown Jury trial, and I seriously doubt the State would have prevailed ?
I think a Hillsborough County Jury would have seen right through this BS, and would not return a conviction, even though "technically" I was "in violation" of a restraining order.
In MY mind, I did NOTHING wrong, but attempt to Love and financially provide for an ex girlfriend who wanted me to contact and see her with a restraining order in place, who had sinister and self serving intentions, unknown to me, at the time.
IMHO, She TRICKED and deceived me, by filing TWO motions to DROP the restraining Order, and I THOUGHT she was sincere !
Shame on ME!
May I humbly suggest that instead of looking for criminal ways to "shut me up", that you consider undoing the grave injustice you have done to me ?
How about a Perjury Prosecution of my ex girlfriend for starters, maybe even a Larceny by Conversion charge, as well as filing a false restraining order against me, refuted by her own handwritten statements wrote out at my HOME, in front of several witnesses.
On a previous violation of a restraining order police report in this case, my ex girlfriend says "I can't stand the anxiety, they keep letting him out of the Hillsborough County Jail ", and basically begs the Police to lock me up.
All for phone calls, normal in any relationship where two people are dating.
WHY did not the Hillsborough County States Attorney look at the DURATION of these many phone calls, or check HER phone records, to see they were not threatening, and wanted by her ?
When I got out of jail on Bond for this, she contacts and Lives with ME, and has me pack, and move her to a NEW Apartment.
I even paid the movers!
Then, she borrows 4900.00 from me to pay her bills, then goes on to LIE about it in Court when asked!
You would THINK that since I pay taxes too, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate would have "smelled at rat" ?
Perhaps the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate might even have have informed the Judge that originallly issued the bogus restraining order in the first place, and or the Hillsbourough County States Attorney assigned to my criminal case, of possible fraud or Perjury by the "victim" herself ?
After all, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's are paid well, by our taxpayer dollars!
They are college grads, and should have enough common sense to question how a "victim" could swear under oath in a court of law she is "scared" of you, knowing fully well this "victim" is living in your house, when the "victim" has a place of her own to "escape" to ?
Did the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate do so for me ?
Not on your life!
While my ex girlfriend was living here at my home, with a restraining order against me in place, I hears a few conversations between my ex girlfriend, and the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate!
In one particular conversation, my ex girlfriend was talking with the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate on the Phone.
I clearly heard the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate order my ex girlfriend to get ALL and ANY personal belongings of hers out of my house!
My ex girlfriend ended the phone call, and started taking and looking for anything with her hand writing on it in my home!
Before the phone call ended, I clearly heard what she said was the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate telling her " You are weakening our Case" !
Of course, I allowed my ex girlfriend to take her belongings, and watched her look in vain for the handwritten statements she freely wrote out in front of several people, and gave to me, while the fradulently obtained restraining order was in place.
I have those statements she wrote out,while she was staying here, and will publish them soon, on this blog.
My point is this about the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate ....
If anyone was the "victim" here, It is my opinion it was me!
Unfortunately, I fell in Love with the wrong girl, a woman with real mental and emotional problems.
Why did the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office assist this mentally challenged woman, knowing fully well she was living at my home during a restraining order ?
It is my opinion that HAD they looked a little deeper into my ex girlfriends mental conditions, and her past habits of constantly calling the Police on people, for little or no reason, might "justice" have been better served ?
I went down to Hillsbourough County Records, near Ybor City in Tampa, Florida, and ran a check of my ex girlfriends past involvement with calling the Police on People.
The Hillsbourough County Sheriffs Office records Division returned almost 30 calls to the Police from my ex girlfriend, in the 5 or 6 year time period they checked into !
That is almost 7 police calls a year, from one woman!
Many citizens never call the Police in a lifetime, or seldom do.
My ex girlfriend suffers from severe, uncontrollable Anxiety, by her own admission.
In fact, several of the Deputy Sheriff's who came to arrest me, or talk with me, knew of her by name!
Several confided in me that they suspected she was mentally challenged.
WHY diid not the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate look a little deeper into my case ?
And, once they knew she was in daily contact witth me, why did they not assist ME, in getting the charges dropped ?
Since technically the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office is a part of the States Attorneys Office, do they not have a responsibility to EVERY citizen of this county ?
In my case, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate did not even question the charges against me.
Heaven forbid that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office do anything to jeopardize the States Attorneys Case ?
Instead, I believe the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office actually "Coached" my ex girlfriend as to the best way to put me in Prison!
A reasonable person will have to agree that if someone is really in danger, like they swore to in a court of law, that they will stay FAR away from that person ?
Yet, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate knew my ex girlfriend was not only continuing to have a relationship with me, but living with me as well!
I can remember my ex girlfriend telling me, and several others, she was scared to death of her Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate !
My ex girlfrienjd told me, in front of witnesses, that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate told her she would go to Jail for Perjury and or Contempt Of Court Criminal Charges, if she did not follow through with the prosecution of me!
All the time, in full knowledge she was in no danger from me, as evidenced by her decision to actually live in my home, after a restraining order was in place against me!
It is my opinion that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate acted only to "save the case, and get the conviction, no matter what, against me", with no regard to justice being served, or doing what is right!
The article from a Tampa Florida newspaper below that I copied is about the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's funding getting cut.
Unfortunately, it never happened.
Perhaps, the Hillsbourough County Florida Victims Assistance Advocate's Office does indeed serve some useful purpose, and is not a waste of Hillsbourough County Florida Taxpayer Dollars ?
Taxpayers and concerned citizens of this county can read the comments below, watch the video above, and decide for yourself ?
In my case, and IMHO, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate was a prime example of Big Government gone wrong.
Here she is, trying to contact me when BOTH of us were under a restraining order Judge Lopez Ordered!

FLASH - DEC 23rd 2010 - Watch this video below, my ex girlfriend Eileen Riordan was really "In Fear" of me after all, LOL Please notice how she attempts to cover her Ass by saying she only wrote the letter to Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez to "drop the restraining order and end my Probation" ?
Remember, her husband and possibly her family (who hate me because Eileen has lied to them about me so much) found out about Eileen and I seeing each other! She played it off like she was such a "Good Christian" and was concerned that the criminal record she tricked me into was effecting my business! Knowing full well her Family hates me, she had to save face with them and her ex convict husband once she got caught seeing me again. She screws up at the end of the video though, when she asks that "all provisions" between her and I be dropped! Read the letter she wrote to Judge Manuel Lopez below, and the SKYPE Transcript below the video, decide for yourself WHO is Lying ?
Yes folks, Eileen Riordan was "so scared of me" she sought me out after a year, even though she is Married to the Ex Convict and Ex Florida State Prison Escapee Warren Earl Jewell DOB 9 -16 - 1963. Here she is in Japan visiting her Son and contacting me on Skype, wondering IF the letter she wrote Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez worked!
[11/15/2010 3:26:46 PM] Chris Tucker: Hi irishprincessriordan! I’d like to add you on Skype.
[11/19/2010 1:00:54 AM] Eileen M. Riordan: Hi chris we r here i am finally learning how to use this thing. I miss you hopefully I will keep learning and be able to keep in touch with you Are you doing ok. I a t
[11/19/2010 1:01:26 AM] Eileen M. Riordan: I a t
[11/19/2010 1:09:52 AM] Eileen M. Riordan: I actually found your message by just playing around with this iPod touch. How was the court thing Can we legally see each other now. Gotta go help with Jude now keep in touch I love you. Eileen
[11/19/2010 8:27:15 AM] Chris Tucker: No pooching ! I am NOT Pooched, went to court, they postponed it till Dec 13th! The girl who works for the Judge set it and made a mistake.you have to be here. Judge was really nice! he even said "It has been over a year, with no problems! They just want to be sure you wrote that letter is all Honey, not to worry. I miss you honey, I bet Jude just LOVES you, just like his Daddy did when he was a baby. I Love You ! Chris
[11/19/2010 10:34:19 PM] Chris Tucker: Hello Darling, I miss you so very much, but not pooched, in fact, I have great news! I ordered your Seroquel, and I also ordered you some Remeron.
[11/19/2010 10:42:33 PM] Chris Tucker: I have done hours of research on what is THE best medicine for all the conditions you present, and Remeron seems best, here you can read all about it What is Remeron: Remeron is an Antidepressant, specifically a tetracyclic antidepressant.
Read up on these sections if you haven't done so already, because they cover a lot of information about multiple medications that I'm not going to repeat on many pages. I'm just autistic that way about not repeating myself.
What is the FDA Approved Use of Remeron: Remeron is officially approved to treat major depressive disorder.
What are some of Remeron'sOff-Label Uses: Additionally Remeron is prescribed unofficially to treat:
* Panic/Anxiety
* Bipolar Depression
* Sleep Disorders
* Chronic Fatigue
* Fibromyalgia
* Arthritis
* Lupus
* Irritable Bowel Syndrome
It has proven effective not only for depresion and PTSD, But for IBS that presents with diarreah as well, as well as releives and lessens Fibromyalgia, and Panic Anxiety! It was a little pricey, but you are worth it! I even read one study where it was used to treat OCD. It is w/o sexual side effects like the SSRI's too ! I have us a 3 months supply, we can get more if it proves to work. I am especially excited about all the great stuff I read about it at the IBS Forum ! it has proven to be a miracle drug for some people! It also greatly enhances quality of sleep, and you take it at night, with your seroquel. Read about it Honey, and know I have been thinking about you!
[11/19/2010 10:43:52 PM] Chris Tucker: If i am asleep when u get this, lease tell me it got to you baby ?
[11/20/2010 10:47:15 AM] *** Call to Eileen M. Riordan, no answer. ***
My ex girlfriend Eileen Marie Riordan wrote Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez a letter asking him to allow us to see each other (Judge Lopez had also made it a crime for her to see me). Please notice that in the letter she writes to Hillsborough County Florida Judge Manuel Lopez, she uses her Aunt's address instead of her own ? She did not want her Husband, or her Family to find out about us !
Her new husband (the ex convict and potential witness against me Warren Earl Jewell 9 -16 - 1963) AKA "Butch Jewell" and her Family found out about us seeing each other, so she changed her mind, again. She made up a story about how she "only tried to get me off probation" to save her marriage, and not incur the wrath of her overly controlling family. To "prove" to her husband "nothing was going on between us" she recently tried to get me Trespassed from her apartment complex, imagine that, after writing a letter to Judge Lopez asking for us to be able to see each other by asking him to drop the Hillsborough County Restraining Order in force against both of us.
Eileen Riordan's apartment manager recently called me, and was completely unaware Eileen Riordan and her husband Warren Jewell had filed a Lawsuit against the apartment complex she lives at! She was also unaware Eileen Riordan was not a working nurse, since the apartment complex gives considerable rent discounts for Working Hillsborough County Police Officers, Nurses, and Firemen! She told me Eileen showed her a current Florida LPN Nursing License to get a rent discount, though Eileen is on total Social Security Disability!
The apartment manager was also unaware that Eileen Riordan's husband Warren Earl Jewell has several Felony Convictions, including Grand Theft, and Burgulary of a Occupied Conveyance, and was sentenced to Florida State Prison where he escaped from! He also has Assault convictions on his record.
I asked her if she always knowingly leased apartments to convicted felons, and she assured me a criminal background check was run on both Warren Jewell and Eileen M Riordan before any lease was signed. I gave her Warren Earl Jewell's correct birth date of 9 - 16 - 1963, and asked for her email address to send her the criminal background in my possession for Warren Earl Jewell, who also goes by the alias "Butch Jewell". Later that week, I received a call from him claiming I "did not have a soul" because he and Eileen Riordan had to move because I exposed him for the Convicted Felon that he is, and attempted to hide from his apartment complex.
Victims Assistance program could lose funding as Hillsborough County officials ponder budget cuts
By Colleen Jenkins, Times Staff Writer

Buzz up!ShareThis
TAMPA — Prosecutors had a problem.
A man accused of raping his 5-year-old granddaughter wanted out of jail before his trial. But the little girl didn't want to testify at a bond hearing.
Without her words, the man would go free.
Kelley Purpura, a veteran victims assistant, offered a solution. With permission from the judge, she scooped the girl up and held her like an infant on the witness stand.
Only then did the girl utter hints of her horror, her arms wrapped tight around Purpura's neck the whole time she spoke.
In a hospital, doctors treat the diseased and nurses comfort them. One does not function without the other.
The same goes for a courthouse, where prosecutors seek justice for crime victims and count on seasoned advocates to shepherd the victims through the legal process. That might mean helping families find a cleaning company to mop up a bloody crime scene or reminding them to wear a sweater to chilly courtrooms.
Crime victims in Hillsborough County have benefited from this expertise for nearly 25 years. But under County Administrator Pat Bean's newly proposed budget cuts, the program is in danger of becoming a victim itself.
Bean says she doesn't take lightly her recommendation to eliminate funding for the victim assistance program and its 35 employees. Doing so would save $2.5 million a year at a time when county programs that serve the elderly, children and animals face slashed funds, too.
"I know the value of these programs," Bean said, sighing. "I almost wish I didn't because that would make it easier for me."
She hopes the state would pick up the bill for victim assistance.
Believing that unlikely, crime victims and the State Attorney's Office hope to persuade commissioners to save the program.
"Without them, who's going to tell the victim what to expect?" said Donna Clemons, who credits victim counselors with guiding her through the murder trials of two teens who beat her 16-year-old daughter and dumped her in a trash bin five years ago.
"The attorneys? They're too busy trying the cases," she said. "They don't have time to coddle, to be the support for the victim."
Put another way, if Kelley Purpura loses her job, who will sit with a wailing rape victim for three hours in a courtroom after a jury acquits her attacker?
• • •
Officially, Purpura, 52, carries the title of victim counselor.
But on any given day, she also functions as a marriage mediator, grief counselor, babysitter and social worker.
She has spent two decades helping victims of child abuse, rape and molestation make sense of the courts. Their sickening stories grab headlines: a 2-year-old girl allegedly raped and killed by her mother's live-in boyfriend, the high school girl attacked at the Bloomingdale library, the Walker Middle School student who authorities say was sodomized with a broom handle and hockey stick by teammates in the school locker room.
Prosecutors come and go. Purpura and her colleagues, most of them long-timers with the victim assistance program, often are the only constant from an arrest to a resolution for victims and their families.
"It wouldn't be a shame if we did away with them. It would be a disaster," said Linda Shiflet, an assistant state attorney who works closely with victim counselors during the intake process, when decisions are made about whether enough evidence exists to file charges. "I don't think we would function without them."
Purpura smiles a lot, despite spending much of her time tending to victimized children. She sits with them through depositions, walks them to the witness stand at trial and awards them bravery certificates after they testify.
In return, they fill her walls with crayon drawings. One little girl drew the entire cast of SpongeBob SquarePants to pass the time during her molester's trials. A boy scribbled "I LOVE U as a friend!" on a piece of blue construction paper.
The job, Purpura said, "means everything to me."
One morning last week, she led the parents of a mentally disabled teen to the office of Assistant State Attorney Rita Peters, chief of the sex crimes division.
Peters needed to know whether they would consider allowing her to extend a plea offer to the man accused of sexually battering their daughter. She wanted Purpura there to help explain the option, aware that victims sometimes view plea negotiations as a weakness coming from a prosecutor.
Families trust Purpura. She interprets tactics, helps them see the lawyers aren't just giving up.
Purpura began the meeting on a personal note. She wanted to know about the victim.
"How's she doing?" Purpura asked the parents.
For once, there was good news. The mother said her daughter had become more verbal.
Happy tears welled in the corner of Purpura's eyes.

In fact, in my second request for Perjury Prosecution, the Hillsborough County States Attorneys Office will be furninshed with certified court transcripts where Judge Raul Palomillo MADE her show her razor blade scarred forearms in Court!
The razor blade scars are there for all to see, IF you cared enough about Justice to look !
Shame on you Valeria Pretto, you got your little conviction, only because I was denied bond.
But had I got bond in this case, we would have rocked and rolled in a full blown Jury trial, and I seriously doubt the State would have prevailed ?
I think a Hillsborough County Jury would have seen right through this BS, and would not return a conviction, even though "technically" I was "in violation" of a restraining order.
In MY mind, I did NOTHING wrong, but attempt to Love and financially provide for an ex girlfriend who wanted me to contact and see her with a restraining order in place, who had sinister and self serving intentions, unknown to me, at the time.
IMHO, She TRICKED and deceived me, by filing TWO motions to DROP the restraining Order, and I THOUGHT she was sincere !
Shame on ME!
May I humbly suggest that instead of looking for criminal ways to "shut me up", that you consider undoing the grave injustice you have done to me ?
How about a Perjury Prosecution of my ex girlfriend for starters, maybe even a Larceny by Conversion charge, as well as filing a false restraining order against me, refuted by her own handwritten statements wrote out at my HOME, in front of several witnesses.
On a previous violation of a restraining order police report in this case, my ex girlfriend says "I can't stand the anxiety, they keep letting him out of the Hillsborough County Jail ", and basically begs the Police to lock me up.
All for phone calls, normal in any relationship where two people are dating.
WHY did not the Hillsborough County States Attorney look at the DURATION of these many phone calls, or check HER phone records, to see they were not threatening, and wanted by her ?
When I got out of jail on Bond for this, she contacts and Lives with ME, and has me pack, and move her to a NEW Apartment.
I even paid the movers!
Then, she borrows 4900.00 from me to pay her bills, then goes on to LIE about it in Court when asked!
You would THINK that since I pay taxes too, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate would have "smelled at rat" ?
Perhaps the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate might even have have informed the Judge that originallly issued the bogus restraining order in the first place, and or the Hillsbourough County States Attorney assigned to my criminal case, of possible fraud or Perjury by the "victim" herself ?
After all, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's are paid well, by our taxpayer dollars!
They are college grads, and should have enough common sense to question how a "victim" could swear under oath in a court of law she is "scared" of you, knowing fully well this "victim" is living in your house, when the "victim" has a place of her own to "escape" to ?
Did the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate do so for me ?
Not on your life!
While my ex girlfriend was living here at my home, with a restraining order against me in place, I hears a few conversations between my ex girlfriend, and the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate!
In one particular conversation, my ex girlfriend was talking with the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate on the Phone.
I clearly heard the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate order my ex girlfriend to get ALL and ANY personal belongings of hers out of my house!
My ex girlfriend ended the phone call, and started taking and looking for anything with her hand writing on it in my home!
Before the phone call ended, I clearly heard what she said was the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate telling her " You are weakening our Case" !
Of course, I allowed my ex girlfriend to take her belongings, and watched her look in vain for the handwritten statements she freely wrote out in front of several people, and gave to me, while the fradulently obtained restraining order was in place.
I have those statements she wrote out,while she was staying here, and will publish them soon, on this blog.
My point is this about the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate ....
If anyone was the "victim" here, It is my opinion it was me!
Unfortunately, I fell in Love with the wrong girl, a woman with real mental and emotional problems.
Why did the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office assist this mentally challenged woman, knowing fully well she was living at my home during a restraining order ?
It is my opinion that HAD they looked a little deeper into my ex girlfriends mental conditions, and her past habits of constantly calling the Police on people, for little or no reason, might "justice" have been better served ?
I went down to Hillsbourough County Records, near Ybor City in Tampa, Florida, and ran a check of my ex girlfriends past involvement with calling the Police on People.
The Hillsbourough County Sheriffs Office records Division returned almost 30 calls to the Police from my ex girlfriend, in the 5 or 6 year time period they checked into !
That is almost 7 police calls a year, from one woman!
Many citizens never call the Police in a lifetime, or seldom do.
My ex girlfriend suffers from severe, uncontrollable Anxiety, by her own admission.
In fact, several of the Deputy Sheriff's who came to arrest me, or talk with me, knew of her by name!
Several confided in me that they suspected she was mentally challenged.
WHY diid not the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate look a little deeper into my case ?
And, once they knew she was in daily contact witth me, why did they not assist ME, in getting the charges dropped ?
Since technically the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office is a part of the States Attorneys Office, do they not have a responsibility to EVERY citizen of this county ?
In my case, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate did not even question the charges against me.
Heaven forbid that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office do anything to jeopardize the States Attorneys Case ?
Instead, I believe the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's Office actually "Coached" my ex girlfriend as to the best way to put me in Prison!
A reasonable person will have to agree that if someone is really in danger, like they swore to in a court of law, that they will stay FAR away from that person ?
Yet, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate knew my ex girlfriend was not only continuing to have a relationship with me, but living with me as well!
I can remember my ex girlfriend telling me, and several others, she was scared to death of her Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate !
My ex girlfrienjd told me, in front of witnesses, that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate told her she would go to Jail for Perjury and or Contempt Of Court Criminal Charges, if she did not follow through with the prosecution of me!
All the time, in full knowledge she was in no danger from me, as evidenced by her decision to actually live in my home, after a restraining order was in place against me!
It is my opinion that the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate acted only to "save the case, and get the conviction, no matter what, against me", with no regard to justice being served, or doing what is right!
The article from a Tampa Florida newspaper below that I copied is about the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate's funding getting cut.
Unfortunately, it never happened.
Perhaps, the Hillsbourough County Florida Victims Assistance Advocate's Office does indeed serve some useful purpose, and is not a waste of Hillsbourough County Florida Taxpayer Dollars ?
Taxpayers and concerned citizens of this county can read the comments below, watch the video above, and decide for yourself ?
In my case, and IMHO, the Hillsbourough County Victims Assistance Advocate was a prime example of Big Government gone wrong.
Here she is, trying to contact me when BOTH of us were under a restraining order Judge Lopez Ordered!

FLASH - DEC 23rd 2010 - Watch this video below, my ex girlfriend Eileen Riordan was really "In Fear" of me after all, LOL Please notice how she attempts to cover her Ass by saying she only wrote the letter to Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez to "drop the restraining order and end my Probation" ?
Remember, her husband and possibly her family (who hate me because Eileen has lied to them about me so much) found out about Eileen and I seeing each other! She played it off like she was such a "Good Christian" and was concerned that the criminal record she tricked me into was effecting my business! Knowing full well her Family hates me, she had to save face with them and her ex convict husband once she got caught seeing me again. She screws up at the end of the video though, when she asks that "all provisions" between her and I be dropped! Read the letter she wrote to Judge Manuel Lopez below, and the SKYPE Transcript below the video, decide for yourself WHO is Lying ?

I miss you honey, I bet Jude just LOVES you, just like his Daddy did when he was a baby. I Love You ! Chris
[11/19/2010 10:34:19 PM] Chris Tucker: Hello Darling, I miss you so very much, but not pooched, in fact, I have great news! I ordered your Seroquel, and I also ordered you some Remeron.
[11/19/2010 10:42:33 PM] Chris Tucker: I have done hours of research on what is THE best medicine for all the conditions you present, and Remeron seems best, here you can read all about it What is Remeron: Remeron is an Antidepressant, specifically a tetracyclic antidepressant.
Read up on these sections if you haven't done so already, because they cover a lot of information about multiple medications that I'm not going to repeat on many pages. I'm just autistic that way about not repeating myself.
What is the FDA Approved Use of Remeron: Remeron is officially approved to treat major depressive disorder.
What are some of Remeron'sOff-Label Uses: Additionally Remeron is prescribed unofficially to treat:
* Panic/Anxiety
* Bipolar Depression
* Sleep Disorders
* Chronic Fatigue
* Fibromyalgia
* Arthritis
* Lupus
* Irritable Bowel Syndrome
It has proven effective not only for depresion and PTSD, But for IBS that presents with diarreah as well, as well as releives and lessens Fibromyalgia, and Panic Anxiety! It was a little pricey, but you are worth it! I even read one study where it was used to treat OCD. It is w/o sexual side effects like the SSRI's too ! I have us a 3 months supply, we can get more if it proves to work. I am especially excited about all the great stuff I read about it at the IBS Forum ! it has proven to be a miracle drug for some people! It also greatly enhances quality of sleep, and you take it at night, with your seroquel. Read about it Honey, and know I have been thinking about you!

| Hillsborough County Clerk Of Circuit Court Certified Copy Of Letter Written To Judge Manuel Lopez By Eileen Marie Riordan |
 |
| Hillsborough County Clerk Stamped Receipt For Certified Copies Of Records ! |
 |
| Envelope Containing Love Letter In Her Own Handwriting!!!!!! |
My ex girlfriend Eileen Marie Riordan wrote Hillsborough County Judge Manuel Lopez a letter asking him to allow us to see each other (Judge Lopez had also made it a crime for her to see me). Please notice that in the letter she writes to Hillsborough County Florida Judge Manuel Lopez, she uses her Aunt's address instead of her own ? She did not want her Husband, or her Family to find out about us !
Her new husband (the ex convict and potential witness against me Warren Earl Jewell 9 -16 - 1963) AKA "Butch Jewell" and her Family found out about us seeing each other, so she changed her mind, again. She made up a story about how she "only tried to get me off probation" to save her marriage, and not incur the wrath of her overly controlling family. To "prove" to her husband "nothing was going on between us" she recently tried to get me Trespassed from her apartment complex, imagine that, after writing a letter to Judge Lopez asking for us to be able to see each other by asking him to drop the Hillsborough County Restraining Order in force against both of us.
Eileen Riordan's apartment manager recently called me, and was completely unaware Eileen Riordan and her husband Warren Jewell had filed a Lawsuit against the apartment complex she lives at! She was also unaware Eileen Riordan was not a working nurse, since the apartment complex gives considerable rent discounts for Working Hillsborough County Police Officers, Nurses, and Firemen! She told me Eileen showed her a current Florida LPN Nursing License to get a rent discount, though Eileen is on total Social Security Disability!
The apartment manager was also unaware that Eileen Riordan's husband Warren Earl Jewell has several Felony Convictions, including Grand Theft, and Burgulary of a Occupied Conveyance, and was sentenced to Florida State Prison where he escaped from! He also has Assault convictions on his record.
I asked her if she always knowingly leased apartments to convicted felons, and she assured me a criminal background check was run on both Warren Jewell and Eileen M Riordan before any lease was signed. I gave her Warren Earl Jewell's correct birth date of 9 - 16 - 1963, and asked for her email address to send her the criminal background in my possession for Warren Earl Jewell, who also goes by the alias "Butch Jewell". Later that week, I received a call from him claiming I "did not have a soul" because he and Eileen Riordan had to move because I exposed him for the Convicted Felon that he is, and attempted to hide from his apartment complex.
Victims Assistance program could lose funding as Hillsborough County officials ponder budget cuts

TAMPA — Prosecutors had a problem.
A man accused of raping his 5-year-old granddaughter wanted out of jail before his trial. But the little girl didn't want to testify at a bond hearing.
Without her words, the man would go free.
Kelley Purpura, a veteran victims assistant, offered a solution. With permission from the judge, she scooped the girl up and held her like an infant on the witness stand.
Only then did the girl utter hints of her horror, her arms wrapped tight around Purpura's neck the whole time she spoke.
In a hospital, doctors treat the diseased and nurses comfort them. One does not function without the other.
The same goes for a courthouse, where prosecutors seek justice for crime victims and count on seasoned advocates to shepherd the victims through the legal process. That might mean helping families find a cleaning company to mop up a bloody crime scene or reminding them to wear a sweater to chilly courtrooms.
Crime victims in Hillsborough County have benefited from this expertise for nearly 25 years. But under County Administrator Pat Bean's newly proposed budget cuts, the program is in danger of becoming a victim itself.
Bean says she doesn't take lightly her recommendation to eliminate funding for the victim assistance program and its 35 employees. Doing so would save $2.5 million a year at a time when county programs that serve the elderly, children and animals face slashed funds, too.
"I know the value of these programs," Bean said, sighing. "I almost wish I didn't because that would make it easier for me."
She hopes the state would pick up the bill for victim assistance.
Believing that unlikely, crime victims and the State Attorney's Office hope to persuade commissioners to save the program.
"Without them, who's going to tell the victim what to expect?" said Donna Clemons, who credits victim counselors with guiding her through the murder trials of two teens who beat her 16-year-old daughter and dumped her in a trash bin five years ago.
"The attorneys? They're too busy trying the cases," she said. "They don't have time to coddle, to be the support for the victim."
Put another way, if Kelley Purpura loses her job, who will sit with a wailing rape victim for three hours in a courtroom after a jury acquits her attacker?
• • •
Officially, Purpura, 52, carries the title of victim counselor.
But on any given day, she also functions as a marriage mediator, grief counselor, babysitter and social worker.
She has spent two decades helping victims of child abuse, rape and molestation make sense of the courts. Their sickening stories grab headlines: a 2-year-old girl allegedly raped and killed by her mother's live-in boyfriend, the high school girl attacked at the Bloomingdale library, the Walker Middle School student who authorities say was sodomized with a broom handle and hockey stick by teammates in the school locker room.
Prosecutors come and go. Purpura and her colleagues, most of them long-timers with the victim assistance program, often are the only constant from an arrest to a resolution for victims and their families.
"It wouldn't be a shame if we did away with them. It would be a disaster," said Linda Shiflet, an assistant state attorney who works closely with victim counselors during the intake process, when decisions are made about whether enough evidence exists to file charges. "I don't think we would function without them."
Purpura smiles a lot, despite spending much of her time tending to victimized children. She sits with them through depositions, walks them to the witness stand at trial and awards them bravery certificates after they testify.
In return, they fill her walls with crayon drawings. One little girl drew the entire cast of SpongeBob SquarePants to pass the time during her molester's trials. A boy scribbled "I LOVE U as a friend!" on a piece of blue construction paper.
The job, Purpura said, "means everything to me."
One morning last week, she led the parents of a mentally disabled teen to the office of Assistant State Attorney Rita Peters, chief of the sex crimes division.
Peters needed to know whether they would consider allowing her to extend a plea offer to the man accused of sexually battering their daughter. She wanted Purpura there to help explain the option, aware that victims sometimes view plea negotiations as a weakness coming from a prosecutor.
Families trust Purpura. She interprets tactics, helps them see the lawyers aren't just giving up.
Purpura began the meeting on a personal note. She wanted to know about the victim.
"How's she doing?" Purpura asked the parents.
For once, there was good news. The mother said her daughter had become more verbal.
Happy tears welled in the corner of Purpura's eyes.

You know this restraining order stuff is bullshit here in Hillsborough County,Florida. Why? Because my ex wife, placed an injunction on me seven days later after I went to my former home to see my kids for New Years day and I brought along with me a police order because she is crazy. Anyway, she fills out a restraining order form on the 8th of January, 2010 based off when I was supposed to get, that event never occurred but on the 20th of January the same year. She is granted a 5 year restraining order. On the final form, it states served but did not appear. I am contesting that because I was never served with a restraining order until October 11, 2010. That is right and to make matters worse I have since been charged with three misdemeanors on something I had no knowledge about nor was I served. Had it not been for my son calling me on those dates I would have had a capias. But even when I went to court in front of the so called honorable Artemeus McNeil that bastard even thought letting me go on each infraction has now got me going to trial on bs that was presented to him over a year ago, not only that but he placed in abeyance for nothing. Yet, I have been arrested for something I have already proven my innocence in and yet here I stand before this idiot again on July 20, 2011. Artemeus, if you want my wife you can have her, hell I had her for 20 years and cheated on her so what the hell would I want to hang around for this bs. Besides Artemeus it would probably be an upgrade to what you have to sleep next to anyway.
