Cop Ron Fox & Judge Patricia Doninger FIRED!

 

 

In this video, Nevada Court Marshal Ron Fox is shown arresting a woman who attended a routine family court proceeding, who claimed that he had sexually assaulted her on the way out of the courtroom, taking her into a private room on the pretense of a drug search and fondling her and making her lift her shirt. The woman cries and begs the hearing master Patricia Doninger to intervene, but Doninger ignored her, playing with the victim's three-year-old daughter, who eventually toddled to the Marshal and told him to leave her mother alone.

 

Fox was eventually fired for his misconduct, years later, but no one told his victim(s). There is no explanation forthcoming as to why the hearing master did not intervene in a case of gross corruption in her courtroom. Fox's arrest is part of a wider investigation involving a string on incidents involving Nevada Court Marshals, including choking a citizen in a courtroom.

Fox is suing for wrongful termination. Doninger was also fired for misconduct.

 

Judge Patricia Doninger was a domestic violence commissioner and hearing master for the Family Court in Clark County, Nevada. She became a domestic violence commissioner in late 1998/early 1999. She was fired on June 14, 2013, following allegations of misconduct that gained national attention.

Doninger, along with other employees of the Family Court, was investigated for misconduct in an alleged cover-up of a sexual assault by a court marshal. Monica Contreras, 28, was in Family Court with her daughter on August 8, 2011. After coming from a drug search in another room, Contreras complained to the judge that Marshal Ron Fox had sexually assaulted her. She said that he groped her and order her to lift her shirt so he could check for drugs. The courtroom video then shows Fox and another Marshal, James Kenyon, handcuffing and arresting Contreras for making false allegations. Some have condemned Doninger for not intervening in the situation, though she was in the same room at the time.

 

Fox denied the allegations, but was later fired. Contreras's charge was changed from that of providing false information to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. In May 2012, she plead no contest.

 

On April 5, 2013, Contreras filed a federal lawsuit against Fox, Kenyon and Doninger, as well as Clark County, the state of Nevada and the courts, saying that her civil rights were violated. The complaint states: "The wrongful conduct of defendant Fox was intentional and evilly motivated, and the wrongful conduct of defendants Kenyon and Doninger involved reckless, callous and deliberate indifference to plaintiff's federally protected rights.

The incident with Contreras has led to the surfacing of other allegations of misconduct and abuse by multiple court employees, which are currently under investigation
