Marcelo Molfino JP campaign bankrolled by corrupt Democrat Bob Wortham

Marcelo Molfino JP campaign bankrolled by corrupt Democrats. Democrat DA Bob Wortham has given thousands to Molfino according to campaign finance reports. Molfino is running as a Republican but where will his allegiance really lie? It is time Jefferson County Republicans stopped the cycle of corruption. Bob Wortham is one of the most corrupt Democrats in Jefferson County. Wortham let the BISD corrupt Democrat school leaders off the hook with Molfino at his side. Wortham refused to charge Democrat Sheriff Zena Stephens who took 5k under the table money from a convicted gambler who Wortham knew had an illegal gambling ring and never prosecuted him for it, all with Molfino by his side. When an officer in Port Arthur filed a lawsuit against Wortham for refusing to file charges against Molfino and then retaliating against the officer, the lawsuit states that Wortham told the officer that Molfino is his boy. When the DA leadership put out a termination letter against Molfino for lying and stealing, which led to Molfino's resignation, Wortham went to the PA news and stated that Molfino was not in trouble and didn't know why he resigned. Wortham lied to the public about the termination of Molfino. The sitting DA would boldly lie to cover for Molfino, and then he gives thousands of dollars to Molfino to win a Republican campaign? Jefferson County Republicans must stop this corruption in Jefferson County. Molfino will be an extension of the Democrat Wortham yall have known is corrupt. You can't even trust that Molfino is being honest about his separation from the DA office and Molfino is bankrolled by Democrat Bob Wortham. Molfino can't be trusted as a Republican and he can't be trusted in general.

District Attorney Declares Marcelo Molfino UNFIT to be an Officer – Termination Report Released by Jefferson County DA Bob Wortham

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5/5/2021:

Document released by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office show that the heads of all DA departments met with DA Bob Wortham and determined that Investigator Marcelo Molfino was to be terminated for lying, among other violations, and they found him to be unfit to serve as an officer of the court.

This DA Office Memo shows Marcelo Molfino was to be Terminated for Lying, Wage Theft, Violation of Policy, and Being Unfit to Be Officer. This is after a multi-year investigation by David Bellow. Thousands of cases could be called into question after this proof of Molfino's falsifications has been revealed.

The heads of the Departments within the DA’s office then typed up and signed this termination recommendation with a detailed description of their findings. I obtained this signed document through an open records request. I have attached this document to this article.

Marcelo Molfino claims he resigned with no issues, and the local news even claimed Molfino resigned with no issues, but that was just simply another lie by Molfino. As the document attached clearly proves, Molfino resigned after he was already set to be fired based on signed findings of termination by the heads of the District Attorney’s office. To report anything other than that is deceiving the public about a public servant who way lying and stealing and fired for it. Resignation in lieu of termination or a forced resignation is legally considered being fired.

This ends a half-decade saga, and vindicates me, David Bellow. I originally blew the whistle on Marcelo Molfino wage theft several years ago when I discovered that he was fraudulently taking comp time that didn’t seem to be earned, so that he could get paid by the taxpayers while he was doing illegal side jobs during his government day shift. The Texas DPS actually determined that Molfino had violated the law by practicing without a license with his side jobs, but the DA, his boss, refused to prosecute and overlooked the county policy violations such as side work not being cleared with the county so that there is no conflict of interest.

Marcelo Molfino then retaliated against me after I blew the whistle him. While still being investigated by the State, Molfino brought bogus charges against me and he himself even wrote, and falsified, the arrest warrant. It was a massive conflict of interest and a clear retaliation to try to shild himself from the criminal probe I initiated against him.? I fought back and all charges were eventually dismissed. The Texas Rangers then brought an investigation against Molfino and the DA’s office for Perjury and Official Oppression against me. They were going to bring charges and even convened a grand jury against the sitting DA office, but Molfino escaped charges due to the statue of limitations having just run out. Marcelo Molfino didn’t learn though. He went right back to using unearned comp time to steal money from the taxpayers.

Earlier this year, I did an open records request, and that is when I uncovered that Molfino finally slipped up in covering his tracks. He put on his time card that he was taking comp time and he listed the date the comp time was earned as a date that he could not have earned comp time because he was already getting taxpayer emergency pay to stay home and not work on that day. Furthermore, that day he said he earned comp time, he was in another city doing a side job that was not even cleared by the county.

That is theft of taxpayer money. I brought my concern to the District Attorney Open Records officer and requested more information and documents. Next thing you know, Marcelo Molfino resigns unexpectedly. Some did not believe what I was saying because Molfino gets involved in the community so as to appear to be an honest man, so I then did an information request for the records. That is what brings us to this article right now, and the attached county document that shows Marcelo Molfino was set to be terminated for the very same things I had turned him in for several years ago. The disbelief can be laid to rest. The documents show that this man who presented himself as honest was actually using his power and position to steal taxpayer money and retaliate against those who challenged him.

A community has been freed from a corrupt investigator who had intentionally used his power to oppress dozens of people over the years. One black man, Omar Daw, even spent 3 years in jail until the US Attorney released him based on Marcelo Molfino having been involved with an informant planting a gun in the Omar’s car. Molfino would frequently get parents in child custody family court cases to hire him and pay him money, and Molfino would then turn around and bring some criminal charge involving the ex of the person who paid him, which would give a leg up in family courts to the person who Paid Molfino. Molfino even testified under oath to getting paid $1500 cash from my ex-wife, Courtney Hudson. It was a family court, criminal enterprise run by Molfino and nothing short of bribery and public corruption. That is how I first came to know Molfino when my ex-wife, who admitted to being violent with me and leaving our one year old son in cars in parking lots, hired him because she was wanting to keep me from seeing my son even though I was by all accounts an amazing loving and involved father who has never even been accused of not being a good father. Molfino tried to go after me, but I fought back and dug for the truth, and now I am happy to say that I have been vindicated. The false charges Molfino brought against me have long been dismissed, but now I can finally show that what I was saying all along about Molfino was true now that Marcelo Molfino’s own department heads determined he lied and was unfit to be an officer.

This chapter of corruption in Jefferson County is finally coming to a close.

 

DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino is Fired amidst Wage Theft and Abuse of Information Allegations

Jefferson County District Attorney Investigator Marcelo Molfino has been fired by District Attorney Bob Wortham.  This occurs amidst a new round of corruption allegations. I have been exposing corruption in Jefferson County for some time now. It is important that Constitutional rights of people are not trampled by government actors, and it is important that communities can trust and respect all the good law enforcement officers out there, which is why it is important to expose the bad apples.

I recently did an open records request with the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office for pay records of Investigator Molfino. It was discovered that while Jefferson County taxpayers were paying Molfino emergency pay to NOT work during Hurricane Laura, he was also getting paid in Port Arthur, TX with tax payer funds to do catering. That double dipping is not illegal although it certainly seems unethical.

The triple dipping is where things start to get illegal.

Pay records show that after Hurricane Laura, Molfino took paid time off on 9/25/2020. He was paid his full salary by the tax payers for the time that Molfino took off because Molfino claimed “comp pay.” Comp pay is when Molfino says that he worked overtime on a day in the past but instead of overtime pay, he instead takes off time in the future and still gets paid in order to make up for the extra time he previously worked. The District Attorney’s Office has yet to ever produce any records of this secret comp time stash that Molfino frequently uses to get paid time off. However, on Molfino’s time card Molfino wrote that the comp time he was getting paid for on 9/25 was earned by working extra on 8/26 during Hurricane Laura. The problem is that Molfino’s time card from 8/26 and his pay records both show that Molfino was getting paid emergency pay to NOT work on 8/26, AND additionally we know that Molfino was in Port Arthur getting paid to cook and cater during Hurricane Laura. So therefore, it is not possible that Molfino had earned any comp time on 8/26. So when Molfino claimed comp time earned on 8/26 in order to get paid to take off of work on 9/25, it appears that it was a false statement on his pay card by claiming comp time that that could not have been earned when Molfino claimed it was earned, and therefore theft of taxpayer dollars.

Molfino getting fired comes in this middle of me waiting for additional records for the County regarding this potential criminal activity.

update: The DA's office says that Molfino resigned. That is true. He was told to resign or be fired. It is less paperwork and less bad press that way. A nonvoluntary resignation under threat of getting fired anyways is actually just simply getting fired.

But wait, that is not the only recent allegation of wrongdoing by Molfino.

Recently, a person named Mary Bond has come forward with allegations that Marcelo Molfino had falsified information in order to have her arrested. Furthermore, she alleges that Molfino used his government computer to access confidential past information and photos in order to leak those photos to a local political blogger. It is against the law to use information and government resources for private gain. It is called abuse of official information. Furthermore, it is certainly against the law to make false statements in order to get someone arrested.

Exactly how much these recent allegations played a part in District Attorney Bob Wortham finally letting Marcelo Molfino go is unknown. Maybe the recent events were just the straw that broke the camel’s back because there is a long list of allegations and information about wrongdoing by Investigator Marcelo Molfino from over the years. Molfino recently escaped charges of perjury, thanks to the statute of limitations running out, after a Texas Rangers investigation showed that Marcelo Molfino committed perjury by lying under oath on the stand. I have not done a follow up on that story yet but I will be posting the Texas Rangers report as soon as I get it. In short, Molfino had been trying to set up me, David Bellow, with false charges as retaliation for me having blew the whistle on Marcelo Molfino for practicing without a license, a Class A Misdemeanor. All charges against me were dropped, and now I try to help others, and help society, by working to expose the bad actors who abuse their trust and position they have been given by the citizens.

There will be more to come out as I get more data and information and records.

DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino lets Convicted Child Molester Off the Hook for DA Bob Wortham

A mother has come forward about her son being molested and has released details of the Jefferson County DA Bob Wortham and Investigator Marcelo Molfino not even investigating before letting the previously convicted child molester off of the hook.

According to the mother, Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw, relative of Congressman Dan Crenshaw, promised the victim’s mothers that a convicted child molester accused of molesting their 2 children would face prosecution and a jury. The victim’s families deserved the day in court for justice for their children.

Unfortunately, Cory Crenshaw did not run for election and the new District Attorney Bob Wortham took over and did not keep that promise. Wortham brought in DA investigator Marcelo Molfino. Unfortunately for the families, Marcelo Molfino didn’t even investigate the previously convicted child molester, and then dropped the prosecution against the man.

I was contacted by one of the mothers of the victims and I was asked to expose this grave injustice. I personally spoke with this mother and verified her identity. However, in order to protect the identity of the child victims I am not releasing her name.

According to the mother, she brought the evidence of this child molestation case to Molfino and dropped it in his lap. She gave him names of witnesses that put this previously convicted child molester alone in the room with the victims who made outcries. She gave him the information about a child being taken to the hospital after the incident. Marcelo Molfino did nothing. He never even talked to the witnesses nor did he get any hospital records. After completely failing to investigate the information given to him, DA Wortham then dropped the case without ever even consulting the families of the victims of this child molestation.

Maybe Marcelo Molfino didn’t have time to do his job as the full-time taxpayer funded investigator due to being distracted by his illegal side jobs. Yes that is right, the Texas DPS previously determined that Molfino was in violation of a class A misdemeanor for his unlicensed side jobs. Side jobs that he did during the day when he was getting paid to investigate for Jefferson County. His boss Bob Wortham didn’t prosecute him though of course. DA Investigators are not even supposed to have side jobs without written permission so that there are no conflicts. No permission was asked or given which is further a violation to County rules.

Maybe Marcelo Molfino was paid off. Don’t take it from me though if you think that is farfetched. Take is from Molfino’s own admissions. Marcelo Molfino previously testified under oath to getting $1500 cash from a party in a criminal case that he was handing. No conflict or bribery there right? Of course it is a major conflict at a minimum. It didn’t bother DA Wortham though who says Molfino is his “boy” when other officers tried to bring Molfino’s criminal violations to the attention of DA Wortham.

After speaking with the mother of this child molestation victim, I asked her to send me a brief statement of what she had told me over the phone in regards to Marcelo Molfino and Bob Wortham letting a previously convicted child molester off of the hook. Below is her statement:

“In around 2011 a 3 yr boy was molested by his half-brother.  He was tried and convicted as a sex offender in juvenile court in Hardin County Texas. Put on 2 yrs probation and arrested several times for breaking the terms of his probation. He was also tested by a psychologist and deemed a narcistic person with pedophilia tendencies.

In or around 2014-2015 the half brother was accused of another molestation of another 3 yr old little boy and questioned in Port Arthur Tx. This case was to be tried by Jefferson County DAs office. The DA at the time was Cory Crenshaw.

I had access to the juvenile records and physiological report of the offender and then turned them over to the DAs office in Jefferson County. They assured me that they would fully prosecute him.

Cory Crenshaw left the DAs office and went into private practice and this case was then turned over to the new DA and their staff. I followed this case and before it came to trial, I had witnesses come forward that I interviewed and the information was over whelming. These witnesses could put the perpetrator in the same room with the child alone. I further found out that the child was taken by ambulance to the hospital.  I then contacted the DAs office to let them know the names and the numbers of the witnesses that had come forward and I was instructed to contact the Investigator Molfino which was the DAs lead investigator.

I left several messages and explained the situation and the information that I had. I never received a call back.

I then called the DAs office to let the prosecutor know the things that I had learned, and she just continued to not pursue the facts in this case. I explained that the Molfino had never returned my calls or texts.

I went to court to watch the outcome of this case. 2 of the victims mothers were in the court room and the case was completely dismissed. On the grounds of not enough evidence.

I demanded to see the DA in this case and I explained everything to them that the witnesses were not even called or contacted. Not even the ambulance or hospital records were taken into consideration.

Nothing was done and justice had not been met for any of these children.”

DA Bob Wortham Escapes Grand Jury Indictment despite evidence of Official Oppression against Rival David Bellow

---

Former US Attorney and current Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham narrowly escaped a grand jury indictment and criminal charges today, and I, David Bellow, reach the culmination of my vindication after having been falsely charged and then got the charges dismissed and then turned the tables to expose the corruption of the District Attorney’s office that falsely charged me ending with the District Attorney himself facing a Grand Jury to determine whether or not to indict the district attorney for his corruption. The Texas Rangers had compiled substantial evidence of DA Bob Wortham having committed official oppression and abuse of office when he falsely charged me in a politically motivated prosecution after I blew the whistle on the criminal activity of his DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino. Wortham then used the false charges to demand that I stop investigating and speaking out against the corruption in his office.

Getting a local Jefferson County jury to indict such a high-profile, long-time public figure was always going to be difficult. Make no mistake this is a victory for the fight against corruption in Jefferson county. No other sitting Jefferson County District Attorney has ever even had to face a grand jury. Regardless of the outcome of the grand jury, the Texas Rangers investigated a sitting district attorney and found evidence of official oppression and abuse of office. They believed the evidence to be strong enough to then have a special prosecutor appointed who did not toss out the case and instead found it credible enough with proof of criminal activity to present to a grand jury. The Texas Rangers report will be obtained and released and the facts and history will show that Bob Wortham politically prosecuted me with false charges that were ultimately dismissed simply because he wanted to shut me up after I exposed the criminal activity within his office. Not only have all charges against me been dismissed, but the District Attorney’s office has been exposed for their corruption. For whatever reason the grand jury decided against prosecuting Bob Wortham and it might have been a simple technicality or it might have been statute of limitations or just a couple of Bob Wortham political supporters on the grand jury, but the facts of the case will never be erased and the facts show corruption within the district attorney’s office. This exposing of corruption will hopefully put an end to their corrupt practices and will help others who have or are being victimized by the corruption of Bob Wortham’s district attorney office.

I hold my head high today knowing that I have been vindicated and Bob Wortham has been exposed and the facts and proof were uncovered that show the corruption of Bob Wortham’s District Attorney office by the independent investigation of the Texas Rangers. He might have escaped the indictment, but the main goal was accomplished which was that he got exposed and had to publicly face questions about his actions. This will help put an end to his corrupt practices and will help many others who might have been future victims.

Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham has been under investigation by the Texas Rangers for, among other things, bribery and pay to prosecute, official oppression, and abuse of power for crimes committed against political rival David Bellow (read below for specific details). The Texas Rangers completed their investigation and sent the case to a Special Prosecutor, and elected San Jacinto County District Attorney, Robert Trapp. The special prosecutor has the choice to dismiss the case, or present the case to a grand jury. Given the crisis in America with abuse of power by those in office causing distrust of officers, it is vital that DA Bob Wortham is brought to justice for his crimes so that Americans see that even those in power must follow the laws. Bringing the bad guys with badges to justice will help the community trust law enforcement and will allow the many good officers out there to be respected and be able to do their jobs.

I know about all of the details of this case because I am the victim of this abuse of power and official oppression. Wortham falsely charged me to shut me up. After all the false charges against me were dismissed, I took the evidence to the Texas Rangers who then opened up a case against DA Bob Wortham and Investigator Marcelo Molfino. I have kept quiet about the specific details of this criminal case while the Texas Rangers were investigating so that evidence didn’t get interfered with, but now that the investigation by the Rangers is completed, it is time the details got revealed. Part one of this public official criminal scheme was posted earlier this month: Investigator Marcelo Molfino Committed Perjury against David Bellow – Texas Rangers Submit Report to Special Prosecutor. That story detailed the perjury of Bob Wortham’s DA investigator Marcelo Molfino. I also previously wrote an article with an overview of the situation: False Stalking and Perjury Charges against David Bellow DROPPED – Texas Rangers Investigating DA Bob Wortham for Corruption. Now it’s time to reveal the shocking details of the criminal activity of Bob Wortham that the Texas Rangers investigated and submitted a criminal case on.
So what did DA Bob Wortham do exactly? In short, he tried to falsely prosecute me and used it as leverage to then demand that I sell him a private political website in exchange for him dropping the false prosecution. 

It all started a few years ago when I was going through a divorce. My ex wife had been leaving our one year old son in cars in parking lots while she had an affair. She might not have fared too well in our child custody case, so she then hired DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino to try to dig up dirt against me. I turned in Marcelo Molfino for doing private investigation without a license. The Texas DPS determined that Molfino was in violation of a Class A misdemeanor. Molfino’s boss is Bob Wortham and Bob Wortham refused to prosecute his investigator Molfino. Next thing you know, I get arrested and charged by DA Wortham and his investigator Molfino. I knew it was done in retaliation for me blowing the whistle on Marcelo Molfino. I had not committed any crime and I knew they wanted to silence me.

I didn’t let them silence me though and I fought back. That got me digging even more into Marcelo Molfino and Bob Wortham and I uncovered even more criminal activity by Molfino that Bob Wortham knew about and was covering up. I started doing records requests for DA office public records, and I bought BobWortham.com to post the details of the criminal activity of elected official Bob Wortham and his Investigator.

After the main charges they brought against me got tossed out, there was only one misdemeanor left against me and I was going to fight to expose the truth and get that false charge tossed out too. However, this final charge was the last of the leverage Bob Wortham had against me in their quest to silence my first amendment Constitutional rights. That is when they made their move. My attorney got a message from the DA’s office telling me I could get an eventual dismissal of the final charge in return for me selling the DA my political website and agree to drop my information requests connected to their criminal activity.

I distinctly remember when I heard about this, the first thing I told my attorney was that what they wanted was illegal and a bribe. The DA was requesting something of private personal value from me in exchange for an official prosecution decision. Not only was he holding false charges over my head in exchange for him getting something of value from me, but the bribe offer proved what I knew all along and that was that the DA was attempting to prosecute me as retaliation for me speaking out against him and their end goal was to simply silence me.

I was a great plan, to put someone against the wall and offer them easy freedom if they pay the DA what the DA wanted. The problem is I was innocent and I don’t give up standing for what is right. The first thing I did was call the Rangers and tell them I was offered a bribe by DA Wortham. The ranger I talked to said that basically there is no solid evidence unless I go along with it. I would have to go along with the bribe deal in order to take this corrupt DA down once and for all. No matter what, I was never going to admit guilt for something I didn’t do, nor was I going to be found guilty. So the DA really wanted that website and offered me to NO CONTEST for deferred adjudication dismissal which means no guilty plea and no guilty final adjudication and in 6 months the case gets completely dismissed. If I didn’t take the deal I would be fighting for another year to be found not guilty and I might not get solid evidence against the DA. If I took the deal I get the charges dismissed and no admission or finding of guilt and I get the evidence I need to take down the corrupt DA. Then after I prove the illegal activity of the DA, I could then file to have everything against me tossed out, even the deal, based on the deal, and the underlying charges, having been part of a political prosecution and part of the illegal activity of DA Bob Wortham and Marcelo Molfino.

So I go along with the bribery offer in order to get the evidence I needed to bring to the Texas Rangers. Sure enough, right after the deal was done I got a request from GoDaddy telling me someone wanted to by my website for $200. I ask GoDaddy to confirm that the offer to buy the website was part of the DA prosecution deal. GoDaddy confirmed this for me. So I sold the website and went to the Texas Rangers. Also part of the deal was that I not use my first amendment right to get public records from the DA which could show possible Criminal actions by the DA’s office. So I abandoned those records requests.

The Texas Rangers sent an out of town ranger from the Austin public corruption unit. He did a thorough investigation. The DA had given the evidence needed to prove the corruption. Would you believe the DA’s office sent a text with the bribe details? That literally sent it in a text that I could print out! If they are that bold and feel untouchable to send their criminal activity details in a text, I hate to think of what other corruption they are involved in that they are hiding. For starters, I do know from multiple credible sources that when the Feds stopped a big time illegal gambling ringleader Larry Tillery, the first person Tillery called from his car was Bob Wortham to have him call the officers and cease the traffic stop. Tillery was convicted and sent to jail, and maybe there is a case out there the feds are working on against Wortham too with the wire tap tape recording they have of the call. 

So to wrap things up, the Rangers investigated DA Bob Wortham for the crimes committed against me. The public copy of the Texas Rangers investigation Report confirms that DA Wortham and his office are under investigation for abuse of power and official oppression against me related to the political website bribe. (see report below). Now that investigation has been turned over to the Special Prosecutor. If a grand jury sees the facts and evidence that I have seen, I have no doubt there will be an indictment of sitting Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham. 

Investigator Marcelo Molfino Committed Perjury against David Bellow – Texas Rangers Submit Report to Special Prosecutor

---

A corrupt Jefferson County DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino is likely to finally face justice as the Texas Rangers have submitted their investigation against him to Special Prosecutor, and elected San Jacinto County District Attorney, Robert Trapp. Hopefully, this compelling evidence of perjury committed by Marcelo Molfino gets presented to a grand jury so that Marcelo Molfino can finally pay for his crimes. I know all about this story because I am who Marcelo Molfino tried to retaliate against with false charges as a way to shut me up after I blew the whistle on him for illegal activity. I fought back. All charges against me were eventually dismissed. And now it is time for this bad cop to be held accountable and be held to the same standards as everyone else. Bad cops like Marcelo Molfino must be held accountable in order to bring credibility and trust back between law enforcement and communities who are hurting and rioting due to another bad cop who senselessly put his knee on the neck of George Floyd until he died. Until we stand up and hold accountable the bad officer like Marcelo Molfino who clearly violate the law, we cannot bring America back together and help communities to trust law enforcement so that they can do their jobs and do it the right way. I am not the first person Molfino has wrongfully hurt. There is a long list, including Omar Daw who is a black man from Port Arthur, TX who was let out of federal prison by the US Attorney after serving 3 years as an innocent man after Marcelo Molfino, a Port Arthur officer at the time, conspired with a Confidential informant who planted a gun on Omar Daw to set him up.

I have stayed fairly quiet about the specific details of the illegal activity by Marcelo Molfino during the investigation by Texas Rangers so as not to damage the investigation. Now that the investigation is over and has been handed over to the Special Prosecutor, it is time the world hears more of the details. Plain and Simple, DA investigator Marcelo Molfino took the stand and lied like a dog. He committed perjury and official oppression so unbelievably blatant that it is hard to believe. Maybe he thought I would be in jail and no one would know like the others he has framed, or maybe he just thought he was above the law and protected by his boss the District Attorney Bob Wortham, who has protected him from criminal charges in the past and is also under investigation by the Texas Rangers under the direction of the Special Prosecutor. When a deputy chief in Port Arthur went to Bob Wortham about criminal activity of Marcelo Molfino, Bob Wortham told him to back off because Molfino was “his boy.” He probably would have gotten away with it this time too had the Texas Rangers not gotten a special prosecutor who was not connected to Jefferson County. Robert Trapp is an elected DA from San Jacinto County and he has no special interest connection with Jefferson County and has, from my perspective, asked the Texas Rangers to do a fair and thorough investigation. Now that the Mr. Trapp has the investigation, I don’t believe that he will just toss the case, especially after such an in-depth investigation by the Texas Rangers after the special prosecutor widened his investigation into Jefferson County District Attorney corruption to specifically include investigating Marcelo Molfino. The stakes are too high and the evidence is too compelling. I believe Mr. Trapp will present the case to a Grand Jury, and if the grand jury sees the evidence that I have seen, I believe there will be an indictment of Marcelo Molfino.

I previously wrote an article with a general overview of what was going on which you can read here: False Stalking and Perjury Charges against David Bellow DROPPED – Texas Rangers Investigating DA Bob Wortham for Corruption

However, I didn’t really get into a lot of the specific details of the criminal activity that the Texas Rangers were investigating in that previous story. Now that the investigation has been completed, I will be releasing more of the details. First, I will go over the perjury of Marcelo Molfino that I know happened because I witnessed it with my own eyes. Then, a second soon to come article will detail the District Attorney Bob Wortham’s bribery and abuse of office scheme in which he used the false charges against me by his official position in order to personally obtain a private political website from me in exchange for prosecutorial decisions (you can’t make this stuff up!)

So what happened and how did Molfino commit perjury? A few years ago I uncovered illegal activity by the Jefferson County District Attorney Investigator Marcelo Molfino. I turned in Marcelo Molfino to Texas DPS. Texas DPS in a written report determined that Marcelo Molfino violated the law. Jefferson County DA Bob Wortham refused to prosecute his own investigator. Instead, Bob Wortham puts Marcelo Molfino directly on a bogus case to retaliate against me with false charges. You would think that would already be an obvious conflict of interest right? Well it gets better. Throw in my ex-wife in a bitter child custody battle paying Marcelo Molfino at least $1500 cash to try to frame me, a good and loving father, in order to get a leg up in the custody battle in which she would not win after she had been caught leaving my one year old son in parking lots crying alone in cars while she had affairs in a different vehicle. That’s not shady right? The DA investigator Marcelo Molfino got paid cash by my civil court opponent right before he charges me with false charges. How do I know this cash exchanged hands? Both Marcelo Molfino and my ex-wife admitted to the exchange of cash when they testified in court. So you see, after I blew the whistle on Molfino, and after my ex paid him cash, Marcelo Molfino then personally wrote the affidavit to have me charged with aggravated perjury. I fought back and took it to trial to clear my name. Marcelo Molfino was called to testify, and he lied through his teeth. That my friends is aggravated perjury and official oppression, and It is the worst perjury of all because this is a law enforcement officer using his position of power to lie in order to try to get someone wrongfully put in jail.

In the mistrial of the case, Marcelo Molfino testified under oath against me. In his sworn testimony, Marcelo Molfino committed over a dozen instances of perjury. Many of the instances of perjury involve Marcelo Molfino adamantly stating under oath that he was never involved in any part of the investigations against me which led to charges against me. There are numerous facts and documents the prove otherwise, and Marcelo Molfino even admitted to much of his involvement in the investigations when pressed under oath on the stand. 

To make things easy to prove the Perjury by Marcelo Molfino, I will focus on the two most obvious, egregious, and easily factually provable instances of Perjury by Marcelo Molfino.

First, the REPORTER'S RECORD VOLUME 3 OF 4 CAUSE NO. 16-25250 Jefferson County shows the sworn testimony of Marcelo Molfino on April 12, 2018.

This transcript shows, from page 262 to page 266, Marcelo Molfino on several occasions, adamantly denies that he ever was part of any investigation of the charge of perjury brought against me. In fact, Marcelo Molfino specifically testifies that he never even did any interviews nor did he ever get any information, nor did he get any statements. Marcelo Molfino testified that if he participated in those ways in any investigation against me that he would have stepped back away from being involved in the case. In fact, the transcript goes on to show that, when pressed with contradicting information, Marcelo Molfino admitted or was shown to have been involved in nearly every aspect of this investigation from the beginning against me which led to his personally filing perjury charges against me after I blew the whistle on him and after he accepted cash from my ex-wife. Specifically, the most direct and most compelling factual evidence proving that Marcelo Molfino committed perjury is a sworn statement during the bogus investigation against me that notary Crystal Hebert signed. The sworn statement specifically states that she gave the statement to and for Marcelo Molfino. This statement was taken by Marcelo Molfino and only done for the purpose investigating me to that Marcelo Molfino could personally charge me. This statement by Crystal Hebert, which was signed on 5/25/2016 the day before Marcelo Molfino then used the statement to support the charges he brought against me in his probable cause affidavit. This proves that Marcelo Molfino lied when he testified that he was never part of the investigation and never took and statements or interviews. Further proof that Molfino committed perjury is a search warrant that Marcelo Molfino personally wrote and went to a judge to confiscate my cell phone to singlehandedly gather evidence in the bogus criminal investigation Molfino brought against me. This search warrant was done by Marcelo Molfino on 5/25/2016 the day before Marcelo Molfino personally brought charges against me. This search warrant proves that Marcelo Molfino lied when he testified that when he personally wrote the affidavit to have me charged, he had never been involved in any criminal investigation against me and specifically that he had never went to get any information in the investigation.

These above factual pieces of evidence showing the search warrant by Marcelo Molfino and the statement of Chrystal Hebert taken by Marcelo Molfino, which were part of the investigation and evidence used against me by Molfino to charge me, prove in a very clear and convincing way, that Marcelo Molfino knowingly and intentionally lied under oath on April 12, 2018 when Marcelo Molfino repeatedly testified and swore that he never was involved in any part of the investigation against me and specifically had not gathered any information or statements nor done any interviews in the case he brought against me. 

Second, in his sworn testimony on April 12, 2018, Marcelo Molfino, on page 216 and 217 of the transcript, Molfino was asked about the criminal activity that I blew the whistle on Molfino to the Texas DPS well before Molfino brought any false charges against me. Molfino, when asked under oath if Texas DOS Agent Oduwole had informed him that Molfino’s actions were against the law and a class A misdemeanor, Marcelo Molfino on more than one time under oath stated NO that Oduwole did not tell him it was against the law. In reality, Agent Oduwole did in fact inform Marcelo Molfino that he was violating the law a class A Misdemeanor. Not only did Agent Oduwole put that it was a violation of the law in his report against Marcelo Molfino, but additionally, former Judge Layne Walker recently talked with Agent Oduwole and told him about Marcelo’s testimony. According to Layne Walker, Agent Oduwole stated that Marcelo Molfino had lied and that he did in fact inform Molfino that his actions were violating the law. This is another instance of clear and convincing perjury by Marcelo Molfino.

The evidence is clear, Marcelo Molfino committed perjury on April 12, 2018 in his sworn under oath testimony. Marcelo Molfino lied under oath in a trial where he was personally accusing me of lying and had brought charges against me with his power as a public official. Marcelo Molfino seemingly did this as an attempt to retaliate against me after I had blown the whistle on him and after he accepted cash from my ex-wife. Marcelo Molfino lied under oath in an attempt to deceive the jury and Marcelo should be charged for these serious crimes especially since he is a person of power and trust who was lying in an attempt to deprive me of my rights and liberties. 

The Texas Rangers did a fair and thorough investigation and I believe the Special Prosecutor will present all these facts and evidence to a grand jury and Justice will finally be done and Marcelo Molfino will be indicted for the abuse of power and official oppression and perjury committed by Jefferson County District Attorney Investigator Marcelo Molfino. God has blessed me. Through my trials I was able to uncover the illegal activity of these public officials which has and will help many others by putting a stop to their corruption. All cases against me got eventually dismissed and I moved on and have a wonderful family. My wife Denise Bellow and I recently had a son and that makes 3 boys, and we are having a blast together as a family. Those three boys could have been without a father due to a bad officer Marcelo Molfino who tried to falsely charge me as he has done to many other innocent people in the past. Its time he is brought to justice. His existence as an officer, with the knowledge of the facts and evidence which prove his criminal activity, is a slap in the face of the good officers out there trying to do their job the right way.

False Charges against Liberty County Constable John Joslin Dismissed – DA Investigator Marcelo Molfino Fabricated Charge

     

The false charge of perjury against Liberty County, TX Constable John Joslin has been dismissed. Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham dismissed the charges in order to keep his DA investigator Marcelo Molfino from having to take the stand and be exposed under oath for perjury and other criminal activity. Marcelo Molfino personally wrote an affidavit to have John Joslin sign with tricky wording with the intent to then personally charge Joslin with perjury by twisting around the wording in an affidavit that Marcelo Molfino had personally written. It was a bogus political charge from Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham with Marcelo Molfino as the hitman. It is becoming their go to thing to do that If you can’t find something illegal you just get them to say something that you can twist to say I think they are lying and then charge them with perjury. That is what happened to John Joslin. President Donald trump recently spoke out against dirty cops. President Trump pointed out that there were dirty cops in the FBI who wrote about opposing Trump and then made false and illegal fabricated stories to attempt to prosecute him and get warrants. Marcelo Molfino is one of these kinds of dirty cops and he brings discredit to the very good and honorable officers who serve and protect us daily. Even his fellow officers say he is dirty because the agent at Texas DPS who investigated his crimes found him in violation of the law. Criminal Justice reform must be done to place safeguards to protect innocent people from false and malicious prosecutions.

Corruption runs deep in Bob Wortham’s Jefferson County District Attorney’s office, and much of the corruption surrounds DA investigator Marcelo Molfino. I too had been falsely charged by Bob Wortham and Marcelo Molfino. I wrote about this recently in this article: False Stalking and Perjury Charges against David Bellow DROPPED – Texas Rangers Investigating DA Bob Wortham for Corruption. I have never been even suspected of a crime in my life, and then I blew the whistle on Marcelo Molfino for multiple crimes. The state of Texas investigated and determined that Marcelo Molfino did violate the law. DA Bob Wortham refused to prosecute his own employee Marcelo Molfino and instead put Molfino directly on the task of trying to silence me with false charges. Molfino personally wrote the affidavit to have me charged for perjury, after I had turned him in for his own criminal activity, and after my disgruntled ex-wife had paid him $1500 cash (there was a history of Molfino accepting money from being and then charging their opponents or ex-spouses to get a leg up in child custody cases). I was also falsely charged with felony stalking for showing up many years ago to a parking lot to get and take home my crying one year old son from alone in a car where my ex wife (we were married at the time this happened) had left my precious one year old son in the car while she had an affair. The BOGUS felony stalking and perjury charges were completely dismissed and now the Texas Rangers have an investigation against the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office for abuse of office and official oppression. You won’t find that in the news though. You won’t see the news write any story about David Bellow false stalking and perjury charges being dismissed. You won’t even find any news articles about an official Texas Ranger investigation against the Jefferson County DA. The local media is silent on what should be front page news of Texas Ranger investigations against the DA and pay to prosecute schemes. This is a small box in southeast Texas and if you are the local news you just don’t go against the powerful district attorney. I guess I didn’t get that memo.

John Joslin had his charges completely dismissed. You won’t find that on the news either after they gladly wrote articles about his initial arrest. I will get the word out though. It is time that people know about the corruption of Jefferson County District Attorney and the many lives the attempt to ruin with false charges for cash or other political reasons.

John Joslin had gotten an attorney, former Judge Layne Walker, and they were fighting back and were going to expose the corruption of Marcelo Molfino. I was going to testify about the criminal activity of Molfino, and the Texas DPS agent who determined that Molfino violated the law was going to testify against Molfino and explain that Molfino did violate the law and knows he violated the law. Marcelo Molfino himself was even going to get on the stand and have to answer for his criminal activity and falsifications and lies. Then just like that, the big case against John Joslin gets dismissed. It was bogus from the start. Criminal Justice reform must be done to place safeguards to protect innocent people from false and malicious prosecutions.

False Stalking and Perjury Charges against David Bellow DROPPED – Texas Rangers Investigating DA Bob Wortham for Corruption and Official Oppression

Jefferson County District Attorney Investigator Marcelo Molfino accepted CASH to Falsely Charge Political Activist David Bellow with Stalking and Perjury following Bellow’s Whistleblower complaint

by David Bellow on September 10, 2019 at 2:19 PM

---

My name is David Bellow and I have been vindicated and am telling my story of corruption in Jefferson County, Texas. I am happy to announce that the horrible, politically motivated false charges against me of Stalking and Perjury have been completely dismissed (Click for Dismissal Orders Here: Perjury, Stalking), and now the Texas Rangers have opened an official criminal investigation against Jefferson County and Corrupt District Attorney Bob Wortham for abuse of office and official oppression against me with District Attorney Robert Trapp being appointed attorney Pro Tem as Special Prosecutor (Click Here for Texas Ranger Report of Investigation obtained through an Open Records Request).

BACKGROUND
I used to be very active in the political world, standing up for what I believe is right and fighting to expose corruption. I frequently blogged and wrote articles and got involved in the political process, even being elected as a political party official. Back in 2014, my now ex-wife started leaving my one-year old son in cars in parking lots while she had an affair. I was told of the affair and of my son being left in cars and I did what any parent would do and I went to that parking lot and got my crying and hyperventilating one year old son from that abandoned car where he was left alone. I went home with my son and then tried to set up marriage counseling as a reasonable non-violent person would do. We went to what we thought was Christian Counseling at First Baptist Church Beaumont where Texas Licensed Counselor (and pastor) Larry Walker’s not so Christian advice was to suggest divorce instead of reconciliation attempts, and he even suggested a divorce lawyer on standby in the church. That is unfortunately the sad reality of many churches who are falling away from faith and family values. This is important though because it is the first instance where the State of Texas opened an investigation into what would be a long excruciating story of corruption in Jefferson County. The state began investigating the professional counselor license of Larry Walker for such things as not reporting suspected Child abuse or neglect as required by law after hearing of my son being left in cars in parking lots. During the divorce and child custody proceedings that followed, there were no accusations against me. I was a good father involved in my son’s life and I was never accused of being threating or abusive, and in fact, my ex-wife signed multiple under oath sworn statements stating that I had never committed family violence and she was only seeking a no-fault divorce. However, she didn’t want our son to have me as a father, which is similar in many custody battles in which people allow hate and bitterness for another person to rip children from loving mothers or fathers whom the children need and deserve equally, which has created the greatest societal crisis of our time with the effects of single family homes and children without fathers being well documented and catastrophic for the children involved and for society as a whole (Click here for government statistics: https://thefatherlessgeneration.wordpress.com/statistics/). I, however, intended to fight for and protect my son and be in his life as his father. In fact, I had the upper hand in the custody case as my ex-wife had admitted in sworn testimony to being violent towards me and leaving our son in cars while she had affairs. That is when her attorney (who was also the attorney for the church where the counselor was under investigation) started to pull out some tricks against me to delay justice. For instance, If you try to sanction the other side with petty complaints such as turning over discovery items a day late, then you can wear down and drag out custody litigation cause the other side to run out of money, then you win. So that is what her attorney tried to do. They even hired a “private investigator”, Marcelo Molfino.

CORRUPTION: MARCELO MOLFINO and JEFFERSON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY BOB WORTHAM

They hired Marcelo Molfino to download my cell phones and allege that not all the data was turned over so that they could try to get all evidence tossed out in the case on a technicality. My side hired our own, more reputable private digital forensics, Red Forensics, from out of town who determined that not only was the report and data from Molfino false and misleading, but it also apeared as though Marcelo Molfino was practicing as a private investigator without a license. So I blew the whistle on Marcelo Molfino with the State of Texas, and the Texas DPS determined that Marcelo Molfino was practicing without a license which is a Class A Misdemeanor. And that is where my real troubles began. You see, Marcelo Molfino was the lead Criminal Investigator for Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham. Not only did I uncover the illegal activity of Marcelo Molfino in my case, I then discovered many other instances where Molfino was violating the law and using his position in the DA office to oppress people. Through Open Records Requests, I even discovered false contradicting statements on government documents, and uncovered many instances where he would get paid by people in the “private civil arena” and then turn around and try to get people charged criminally under his criminal prosecution hat against the people he was paid privately to oppose. The Texas DPS asked the Jefferson County DA if he would be filing charges against Molfino, and the DA said no. The DA decides who to protect and who to prosecute. After protecting his investigator Molfino from criminal charges that I blew the whistle on, the DA Bob Wortham then put Marcelo Molfino on a mission to personally bring false charges against me using the power of his prosecution office. Can anyone say clear conflict of interest? This was done for 2 reasons. This persecution against me was done in retaliation against me for my whistleblower complaint to silence me and discredit my complaints against Marcelo Molfino, and it was also done because, as would come out in criminal trial testimony, my ex wife, at the direction of her attorney, paid Marcelo Molfino at least $1500 cash shortly before Molfino brought false charges against me. She even went to the Jefferson County Courthouse government building to meet Marcelo Molfino as part of this “private exchange” of services, according to trial transcripts.

After nearly 2 years of a custody battle, the money ran out for me to fight and I offered my ex-wife 50/50 custody of our son, which she accepted. Her acceptance was just another trick though as her acceptance was only so she could get the custody case against her out of the way so that she could transfer the proceedings to Jefferson County to do an immediate modification custody suit to change the child custody order to try to take my son from me. She brought the case to Judge Larry Thorne, who her attorney had made a rare large donation to. Judge Larry Thorne would later be found by the State of Texas as having accepted tend of thousands of illegal contributions from attorneys and fined nearly $40,000 (Click Here to see Order against Judge Larry Thorne). Not surprisingly, the local DA Bob Wortham who holds the power to prosecute, did not prosecute judge Larry Thorne for the felony violations the state found him to have violated.

So back to the custody case, only a month after accepting the final 50/50 custody agreement order which I hoped would bring stability to my son’s life, and after years of a bitter divorce case in which she swore against any allegations of family violence from me,  my ex-wife simply then went to Jefferson County Investigator Marcelo Molfino and paid him cash money. She then filed criminal complaints alleging that, three years earlier, even before the divorce started, she felt “alarmed” when I, while we were married, went to a parking lot to get my son from an abandoned car. So she filed felony “stalking family violence” charges against me as her basis of trying to change the agreed custody order with the new Judge Larry Thorne. The DA’s office of course fast tracked a prosecution against me with Marcelo Molfino at the helm. Molfino was under investigation at the time as a result of my complaint BEFORE he brought retaliatory charges against me. Even worse, Molfino was paid cash money by my ex. Literally the prosecutors office was taking money “bribes” to prosecute, and they put Molfino directly on the case to silence me and discredit my legitimate complaints against him which were validated by the state of Texas. That wasn’t enough to silence me and I kept fighting and I kept investigating, so then Molfino personally wrote out an affidavit alleging I am a liar and charged me with felony perjury. What better way to discredit your accuser than to bring false perjury charges against him so you can just say don’t believe him he is charged with perjury. At one point the DA wanting a ONE MILLION dollar bond or NO BOND. I guess the only way to keep me from talking to the Texas State investigators was to try to put me, a non violent political adversary, in permanent confinement with bond higher than an alleged murderer.

I fought and I exposed and finally one by one the charges went away. Felony Stalking case dismissed. Felony Perjury case dismissed. I have never been convicted and have never pled guilty and never been found guilty. I have been vindicated with all criminal cases now gone away. Of course you won’t find word of my cases dismissed in the news like I was in the news when the DA’s office sent word to the news stations of my initial arrests so they could parade my mugshot though the news and all but convict me before a trial.

This story I bring to light only touches the surface of the roller coaster ride I have experienced, and barely addresses all the instances of criminal activity and corruption I uncovered involving the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office. There have been many less fortunate than me who might have pled guilty just to cut a deal to get out of the false prosecution, or maybe they were found guilty based off of fabricated evidence. I will continue to fight to protect and defend the Constitution and the rights that everyone should enjoy by fighting and exposing corruption.

The big news to top off my vindication from the false prosecution by Jefferson County, is that the Texas Rangers have officially and formally opened a criminal investigation against Jefferson County for abuse of office and official oppression against me. Yes, the Jefferson County Criminal District Attorney Bob Wortham and his office are under official criminal investigation by the Texas Rangers with a special prosecutor even having been appointed from another county.

So I am back! I got to settle down for a bit and I have a beautiful wife, Denise, son and stepson, and baby boy arriving next month! I will be writing and blogging more about politics I am passionate about and about political news, with a focus on the broken family court system that needs drastic reform to save and stabilize children and society, as well as a focus on public corruption and criminal justice which need drastic reforms to prevent innocent people from going to jail due to faulty or fabricated evidence and a lack of Constitutional protections and due process,  and due to even intentional false prosecutions that are rampant and allowed to happen.

David Bellow files to run for District Attorney against DA who Falsely Charged Him

For Official Release 12/12/2017:

David Bellow files to run for District Attorney against DA who Falsely Charged Him

Hopes to Draw Attention to Corruption Within Current Jefferson County DA’s Office

Yesterday I filed to run for Criminal District Attorney of Jefferson County, Texas. The chances of me winning are admittedly not very high, but that is not why I decided to run. I decided to run to give the people a choice and force the issues of corruption and illegal activity within the Current DA’s office to be addressed. I have filed today in hopes that, at the very least, a contested race will give the people a voice and a choice, and the issues will have to be addressed and fixed. The people of Jefferson County deserve a fair and just criminal judicial system.

Contested elections are an important part of democracy. Unopposed candidates are never held accountable and never have to address the issues and problems facing the people they serve. The Current District Attorney was supposed to be the “anti-corruption DA” but instead, he just ushered in a new era of corruption. There are currently state investigations against Bob Wortham or his staff in the District Attorney’s office. Bob Wortham should be held accountable for engaging in or at least allowing and protecting criminal activity within his own office. He turned his back on the people he is elected to serve by over prosecuting or falsely prosecuting innocent people, and he turned his back on law enforcement and victims who came to him with legitimate concerns and allegations of criminal activity only to be dismissed.

For instance, a current lawsuit filed by former deputy chief of the Port Arthur Police Department alleges that this police officer went to Bob Wortham about Criminal activity within the District Attorney Office but Bob Wortham refused to prosecute and told the Deputy Chief, “That’s my Boy.” This deputy chief was then retaliated against by Bob Wortham and forced to retire, according to the lawsuit.

This allegation of criminal activity being allowed or covered up by the current DA is one of many from many different people from all different ethnic backgrounds and walks of life from Republican to Democrat. My story is one of them too.

Two years ago, I blew the whistle on the lead criminal investigator for Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham.  This investigator, Marcelo Molfino, had been taking money to do illegal work. As more research was done into this investigator, multiple other violations of law and the Constitution were discovered such as falsifying a government document and use of his power to oppress those who opposed him or those he was paid to investigate and charge. After I blew the whistle on this criminal activity, the Texas State DPS Investigator determined that this DA investigator did in fact violate the law. The current DA refused to prosecute his own investigator, and instead put this investigator directly in charge of bringing false charges against me as retaliation and as an attempt to discredit the state investigations against him that I blew the whistle on. The bogus Felony Stalking charge brought against me was dismissed, but the damage that this false charge had done was enormous and life changing.

Unfortunately, many people are not as lucky as me. They either do not have the ability to speak up and fight back, or they are afraid to.

These innocent victims, of the crime and corruption that has been allowed by the current DA, deserve a voice. This campaign for District Attorney against Bob Wortham will give them a voice. It will give them a vehicle in which to come forward and tell their story. It will give the people a voice to express the issues and demand that the Current DA address the problems and clean up the corruption.

So even if the chances are slim that I actually win the race, I have filed yesterday for Criminal District Attorney in hopes that, at the very least, a contested race will give the people a voice and a choice, and the issues will have to be addressed and fixed. The people of Jefferson County deserve a fair and just criminal judicial system.

Sincerely,

David Bellow

Question: Do you live in Jefferson County?

Answer: Yes, I have lived in southeast Texas my entire life and currently live in Jefferson County.

Question: Are you an Attorney? Do you have to be an Attorney to run for office?

Answer: No, but I do have a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a master’s degree and extensive studies in law. You do not have to be an attorney to be eligible to run and eligible to hold office in Texas, according to the Texas Constitution. To be eligible for and qualified for are two different things. Eligibility to be elected and hold office and eligibility to run in Texas require you to be over 18, live in Texas, not have been convicted of a felony, etc. I meet those requirements and am eligible to be a candidate and hold office in Texas. If I win, I would however need to be qualified and meet the qualifications of the office before being able to exercise the duties of the office, such as getting my Attorney’s license. Running for the office alone even without winning will bring about awareness and hopefully a fix to the issues within the current District Attorney’s office, and if by God’s grace the people vote to elect me, the Texas Constitution simply says the current DA continues until his successor is qualified. So I would have time to become qualified and the current DA would continue to be in office until I got my attorney’s license, or possibly I could utilize the licensed assistant district attorneys in the office to perform the prosecuting attorney work until I obtain my Attorney’s license. This is similar to a recent constable election in Jefferson County Texas where the person elected, Nick Saleme, was eligible to run and hold office, but was not qualified to perform the duties of the position until he got his peace officer license.

Conservative Blogger David Bellow Retaliated against with False Arrest/Charges by Democrat DA Office he Exposed

Below is my statement regarding the fabricated misdemeanor charge that is widely being reported as against me, David Bellow. Also, the following statement includes detailed information of the political corruption that has brought about this false charge. In short, Jefferson County is one of the most corrupt places in America and I have been involved in exposing this corruption. Most recently, I blew the whistle on a lead investigator within the Jefferson County DA's office, Marcelo Molfino. The State of Texas is currently investigating this DA investigator, whose wife is an assistant DA for Jefferson County, and has already determined that Molfino was in fact violating the law. The Democrat leaders in Jefferson County were not happy and retaliated against me by bringing about a false misdemeanor charge against me involving a custody battle I am involved in where it is well documented that my son and I are victims of repeated domestic violence and child neglect. My wife's attorney, Scott Browne, who is believed to have an eye on a Democrat Judge position, has even had stalking charges pressed against him for threatening me with bodily injury and repeatedly passing by and stopping at the end of my driveway. I am confident that these charges against me will be dismissed quickly, but not before they had me arrested and paraded the false information around the news. 

 

Below is my statement to counter this widely publicized story of my arrest, to expose the public corruption within Jefferson County, and to shed light on the issues of violence against men, and even child abuse, going overlooked, as happened with me and my toddler son.

 

 

FULL OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE STATEMENT

March 30, 2016

 

Statement by David Bellow

Beaumont, TX

 

Addressing the Charge

This misdemeanor charge against me is completely false and I am confident it will be dismissed swiftly as it lacks even basic constitutional requirements for prosecution. This is a personal and political attack that is nothing short of malicious prosecution and public corruption solely administered as retaliation against me for initiating a state investigation against an employee of the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office.

 

Political Corruption

The Jefferson County District Attorney’s criminal investigator, Marcelo Molfino, is under state investigation because I had blown the whistle on him. In fact, in a letter to the Jefferson County DA’s office, one of the state investigators on the case, Agent Jonathan Oduwole, has already determined that the district attorney investigator Marcelo Molfino had indeed been violating the law. To complicate things even further, Marcelo Molfino’s wife is an assistant District attorney for Jefferson County. Needless to say, the Jefferson County DA swept this Class A Misdemeanor violation by their own DA investigator under the rug. They were not very happy when I pushed for the state to investigate.

 

Plan of Revenge by the DA

They wanted revenge, so a fabricated misdemeanor charge has been filed against me as you are all now well aware. They parade me in cuffs to be booked; even though for much more serious charges is a very typical and standard procedure to first call the person in question’s lawyer and have said person turn themselves in. They then immediately release to the press that I, David Bellow, had been arrested. The charge on the books? For unlawful installation of a tracking device. However, in the release to the press, they “mistakenly” and conveniently tucked in the phrase, “family violence”, at the end. The charge currently against me has nothing to do with family violence nor have there ever been any like charges ever in the past and there never will be. Those words, “family violence”, are not even mentioned in the penal code regarding unlawful installation of a tracking device. I have never even been accused of violence in any form or fashion, nor have I ever become violent in my life. But they knew that before their deceptive “error” of classification could be corrected by the media, it would have already done the damage they desired for it to do.

 

Plea to the Media

I know the media will do the right thing and make a correction to their stories that included anything about the undocumented and illusively false claims of family violence. In all actuality, the only person who has ever been reported to have committed family violence with charges requested to be pressed against them is Courtney Bellow. Their plan with this fabricated and pretentious show is nothing but a defamatory attempt to openly discredit my kind, honest nature.

 

Goal of the Corrupt Scandal and My Response

Well with the power that drives their corruption, it has seemingly worked, they got their dog and pony show hoping I would be embarrassed and hide my head in the sand. But like Governor Rick Perry, when he was falsely indicted in a political attack, I hold my head high and am confident that this charge will be dismissed. I am even more determined to expose the political corruption that still runs deep in Jefferson County. I am even, in a way, thankful for the dog and pony show that they have tried to use to harm me, as it now has given me a platform to expose their corruption and shed light on the truth. It also allows me to shed light on a massive problem facing America: Child Custody and the disadvantage good fathers face in custody battles, and also domestic violence against men that gets overlooked.

 

The Brutal Truth Behind It All

Everything going on, up to and including even this current charge against me, originates from a bitter and bloody two (2) yearlong custody battle between myself and my wife. For years my wife, Courtney Hudson Bellow, physically abused me and my son and the abuse has been well documented. But don’t take my word for it. Courtney herself has admitted in her own under oath deposition to being physically violent with me, and has admitted in that same deposition that I never hit her even after she would beat up on me. She has admitted in her under oath deposition to abandoning our, at the time, one-year-old son, alone in cars in parking lots on multiple occasions for extended periods of time while she was in a truck with the man she was having an affair with. The police even had to be called when I took my son to get allergy tested and she showed up and demanded that my son not get tested even though I had a doctor’s order. Thankfully I got him tested and found out that he was highly allergic to milk. The abuse on my person runs greater. Even to this day after so many years, still have a scar on my back where my wife burned me with a hot iron while I slept.

 

I Tried to Get HELP But Only Got Hurt - Church Corruption

I loved Courtney and wanted her to get help, and wanted to preserve the marriage, and didn’t want to embarrass her and myself, so I reached out to Board Certified Counselor Larry Walker at First Baptist Church of Beaumont looking for guidance. Larry Walker documented the domestic violence and diagnosed her with a psychological disorder. He then failed to report the abuse, especially the child neglect, to the police as his state certification requires. The system overlooked abuse against men as it unfortunately very often does. Thankfully the state takes the laws seriously and, you guessed it, the State is investigating Larry Walker too. Like Molfino, it is clear the law was broken by Larry Walker. With Courtney working at the church with Larry, believe it or not as director of child care, I can see why the church leadership would look the other way and try to bury this. The church is growing and trying to build, and “un-Christ like” acts in exposure through publicity would certainly hinder that. Not to mention, Scott Browne, Courtney’s divorce attorney, is also the Church’s attorney and a major financial contributor to the church. Don’t get me wrong, I believe the FBC church leaders are generally good people and Pastor Christopher Moody even preaches some of my favorite sermons. I certainly love the people of the church and my son was even dedicated there. But even good people make mistakes, and it is important, especially for leaders who set the example, to acknowledge and repent of their mistakes and move forward in the amazing Grace of God, not hide from and bury their sin and put children at danger by allowing admitted abusers and child neglecters to work in child care without even taking steps to protect the children, as Mark Adams failed to do. I want the church to grow and be strong, not weakened by burying scandals. It is especially wrong that the Church, behind the backs of the members of the congregation, has used police force to not allow some worshipers to attend the church, simply because they disagree with the church’s handling of this scandal.

Speaking of Scott Browne, you probably have never heard about the stalking charges being pressed against him as the up and coming Democrat attorney; who is rumored to be eying a Judge seat in Jefferson County to seemingly further spread such corruption. He has threatened me with bodily injury in front of several witnesses which is not a good load to carry in his position. I then had to press charges when Scott Browne was caught in my home video surveillance stopping in front of my house and driving by numerous times.

 

My Current Position with Fear of My Son’s Well Being

I currently have 50/50 custody, but it was an uphill battle just get 50/50, even though by all accounts I am an amazing father and caregiver to my son, and Courtney has admitted to domestic violence and leaving our son in cars in parking lots. Our son is even coming home now with welts on his legs and saying mommy spanked him. He is only 3 and is very good and sweet. I even have had a cashier from Petsmart who never met me contact me concerned that Courtney had our son walking with no shoes on a dirty cold ground (there was frost it was so cold). Corruption in Beaumont PD and DA Beaumont PD investigator C. Phillips has yet to act on any of this domestic violence and child neglect that Courtney has herself admitted in her under oath testimony. Officer Phillips claims that leaving a one-year-old child in a car alone for an extended period of time is not illegal, even though the penal code is very clear that leaving a one-year-old in a car for over 5 minutes without someone in the car with the child is unlawful. Why does the Beaumont PD investigator Phillips not know the law, or at least refusing to follow the law? Interestingly enough, Investigator Phillips recently sent me a letter stating that assault causing bodily injury, which I had filed against my wife, was only a class “C” charge and so the PD would not even investigate it, even though the penal code clearly defines assault with bodily injury as a Class “A”. The same C. Phillips readily jumps at the chance to bring a bogus, politically driven misdemeanor charge against me. Some of these reports against Scott Browne and Courtney Bellow have been filed in Hardin County and the Lumberton PD, and I am confident that they will not sweep things under the rug like Beaumont and Jefferson has as Lumberton PD has proven to be fair.

 

Jefferson County District Attorney Bob Wortham himself, after the investigation started against Molfino, personally attended one of my custody dispute hearings. He wanted to find something against me to get back at me, but I simply had not done anything wrong. I have even had major Democrat power attorney Chip Ferguson pop his head up in my custody dispute. They hate my conservative values and they hate that I got the state involved in uncovering the corruption of their friends.

 

Truth About Family Court Fairness on Men

Besides the added element of political dislike that some may have against me that has driven this charge against me, men in general have a hard time getting justice after being physically assaulted by their wife, and most men do not even report domestic violence against them. Even worse, a good loving father still has to fight to even get “half time” with their child as I’ve gotten, EVEN WHEN the mother readily admits and does not believe it is wrong to leave her child in cars in parking lots, and abusing the child and the child’s father. The biggest victim though is the child. In this case, my son, who is being abused and neglected and who, had I not fought, would not get to see his father half of the time. Shared custody, standing against domestic violence, and ending public corruption, is highly favored by the people. Yet we still have public corruption running rampant. We still have many older investigators, and even many older judges, who still do not take abuse against men seriously, and who automatically give only standard visitation to fathers, regardless of how bad the mother is.

 

My Feelings Through It All

I am not mad nor do I hate anyone, although I do believe that the people that have been referenced above should be held accountable for their actions. I am certainly saddened that we still live in a world where abuse against men is not taken seriously and a good father still has to fight to get shared custody with their child. I am disappointed that public corruption still runs rampant and malicious prosecution can still be used against people.

 

My Plea for Prayers

For these reasons I ask my friends and fellow community members, and fellow Christians to pray. Pray for me and my son, and pray for these disappointing situations such as this that are very much still a part of our society. Though most go unnoticed, there is ONE who knows all. We thank Jesus for His Saving Grace where none are too far for His reach.

 

 

Thank you and God Bless!
