Every statement in this website is well documented and can be proven to be absolutely true.  The Franklin County Case number is 09-DR-4727. 

I am Arella Jordan and this is my website. I am sharing information about my family in hopes that it will help parents protect their children. I have 8 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. They call me "Grannie" and I love them all dearly. My professional experience is in education from kindergarten to the 12th grade.  I received my college degree from Toledo University.  My late husband was also an educator for over 40 years. I created this website in order to protect physically and sexually abused children. This website was also created to protect this family from retaliation that began immediately when "grey-area" sexual abuse was uncovered in the divorce/custody case 09-DR-4727. In 2011, my great granddaughter, a 4-year old little girl, was thrown under the bus by lies and corruption. Our family did not accept this injustice and you should not either.

If this is happening to your child find a good attorney such as my grandson Tampa Attorney Ali Shakoor. Despite bias from the GAL, and a vindictive retaliatory bar complaint from Joseph Nigh, who placed GAL Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher, the defendant,Franklin County Public Defender Edward Gemmer, and Magistrate Bryan Elliott's names as witnesses, my grandson had the courage to continue advocating for his niece, and he gained a great deal of respect for his integrity. (See Courage-Tampa Attorney Ali Shakoor) Joseph Nigh felt confident in Magistrate Elliott's courtroom to deliberately falsify "evidence" when questioning the child's therapist. It was nothing but a rigged proceeding. (See transcripts of Joseph Nigh's False Evidence.)  If his client, Edward Gemmer was innocent there would have been no need for all the lies and corruption.  

What is a serious problem in Franklin County Courts is that lawyers are afraid to speak up for fear of being blackballed and retaliatory bar complaints are filed against them in order to shut them up and preserve the status quo, a Cottage Industry that is throwing away children. Ohio attorneys need to speak up and not be fearful. Parents need your courage. Children need your courage, because you are their voice in the courtroom. 

 Speak up loudly and ALWAYS tell the truth.  

Sadly it is a fact that Edward Gemmer will continue to lie under oath and plead the FIFTH repeatedly. He cannot without serious doubt ever be trusted with any of his daughters, because he was lying and pleading the Fifth too many times in court.  It is shameful that this father is a Franklin County Public Defender. He was found in Contempt of Court on July 14, 2014. 

The following is an excerpt from the mother's statements to the court, children services, the Columbus Police, the FBI, and other authorities regarding the September 2011 ECO hearings that after 2 1/2 months was corrected and resulted in the mother's favor, when the divorce/custody case settled on February 24, 2012. The mother has always had the majority parenting time so that she can take care of her daughter. Judge Kay Lias forced a final settlement after complaint letters and transcripts were being ordered. Transcripts prove that Attorney Joseph Nigh deliberately questioned my great granddaughter's therapist Dawn Gross with false "evidence." It was a deplorable and shameful tactic against a pro se mother, who thankfully has a law degree. This is how she prevailed and protected her child.  

The mother wrote this in part to Franklin County Court Administrator Dana Preisse in December 2013. She was responding to Edward Gemmer's continual lies to the court.      

 "Edward Gemmer sexually abused our daughter.  Like the majority of cases of inappropriate sexual contact between parents and children, he was not prosecuted.  Our daughter first came to me complaining that her father had started forcing her to shower with him." 

After a contentious battle and a bad record, Edward Gemmer agreed and signed the 2012 Shared Parenting Plan, that he would stop doing the following inappropriate behaviors that were brought against him in court:

a. Neither party shall be intentionally nude in front of the minor child and shall not bathe with the minor child.

b. During each party's parenting time, the minor child shall be responsible for bathing herself and administering any topical medications as physically practical to herself.

c. Each party shall provide the minor child with her own bed in their respective residences.

 

On Friday, July 11, 2014 - Judge Kay Lias  DECISION AND JUDGEMENT ENTRY -  Edward Gemmer is in CONTEMPT OF COURT.

"The defendant having been found by clear and convincing evidence to be in contempt of court, the court ORDERS a jail sentence of thirty days, suspended if defendant purges his contempt by restoring thirty-six and one-half hours of parenting time he prevented plaintiff from exercising and six additional hours of parenting time as penalty for not providing communicative access between plaintiff and the child for a total of forty-two and one-half hours of parenting time. The hours are to be provided to plaintiff on defendent's Sunday evenings from 6:00pm overnight until he has purged his contempt.

Defendant is further ORDERED to reimburse plaintiff the filing fee she incurred and all other court cost including court reporter costs.

IT IS SO ORDERED"

Judge Kay Lias

Sitting by assignment 

Edward Gemmer has proven himself to be an inept parent, untrustworthy, and he does not respect Ohio laws or the courts.    

He also caused his father, Gary Gemmer to be arrested. Gary Gemmer was the only person prosecuted and TWO magistrates requested that Edward Gemmer's father be supervised when around the child because of domestic violence that led to the 1st sexual abuse investigation in 2010. Edward Gemmer and his father were also both restricted by Nationwide Children's Hospital Child Advocacy Center, Franklin and Fairfield Children Services to not have contact with the child during Edward Gemmer's TWO sexual abuse investigations.      

If Edward Gemmer was innocent there would have been no need for all the proven lies and corruption in 09-DR-4727. There would have been no need for violence.  

There are several fathers in our family and none of them has behaved with their daughters or sons the way Edward Gemmer has behaved.  This father did NOT stop being sexually inappropriate, which include, showering with the child, exposing his penis and urinating in front of his daughter, until he had created a huge problem for himself, his parents, and for attorneys who got involved in his ridiculous mess when all he had to do was STOP it.

Instead of stopping his inappropriate behavior, Edward Gemmer lied to his attorneys, the magistrate, the child's therapist, and the judge. He lied to everyone and caused complaint letters to flood the court, to his employer, and to the Ohio Disciplinary Counsel as others got entangled. This whole case has become nothing but a cover-up of Edward Gemmer's lies to the court.

 

 Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher is an attorney/guardian ad litem. She has immunity.  Throughout 09-DR-4727 Fisher lied in two interim reports and was repeatedly pleading the Fifth on the stand.  She deliberately tainted the child's therapist with her lies.  Other than being yelled at by the judge nothing was done about any of Fisher's ethical violations that are on the record.  It was cruel what this GAL did to the mother and child. She was totally biased and without any compassion.  Fisher should no longer be appointed to cases.  It all began with Edward Gemmer's lies to the court. 

Unfortunately, stories about corrupt guardian ad litems (GAL) is going on in courtrooms all over the country. Just Google "corrupt guardian ad litems" and you will learn about other cases.

In order to protect children and parental rights, Ohio Rule 48 - (GAL guidelines) that many judges have ignored or know nothing about should also be enforced. And, I feel an oversight judicial committee should be assigned for random monitoring.  For judges and magistrates to say, "we don't have to follow GAL recommendations" is unacceptable when a corrupt GAL such as Attorney Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher is lying under oath, pleading the fifth, and contaminating witnesses and professionals with fabricated reports.  This is what happened in 09-DR-4727. By the time Judge Lias received the case from Magistrate Elliot it was a total fiasco.    

A domestic violence incident in Scioto County is what caused the 1st sexual abuse investigation of Edward Gemmer.  Franklin and Fairfield County Children Services wanted to know why the mother was attacked by her in-laws. When the issue of the forced showering was explained and that an ECO (Emergency Custody Order) had been filed against the father, children service decided to open an investigation against Edward Gemmer for sexual abuse.  Eventually there were TWO sexual abuse investigations against this father for what is actually "grey-area" sexual abuse, but is just as harmful to a child asking for help.  Edward Gemmer lied to investigators, and he used stolen email communications taken out of context in order to influence the outcome of two sexual abuse investigations. He has refused to take a legitimate Columbus Police Lie detector test.  (See sections at the end - PAID - PRIVATE POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION - Inadmissible)

 

Edward Gemmer lied to his former attorney, Joseph Nigh, and to court appointed guardian ad litem, Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher and caused them both to behave unethically when they improperly used stolen email communications. 

On September 30, 2010, this family argued privately over what to do about Edward Gemmer's behavior and but not that he was innocent of sexually abusing the child. Those emails were deliberately taken apart and out of context by GAL, Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher. The mother wanted him to get therapy and a long period of supervised visits. She testified to initially feeling this way rather than prison, and she did not know that Edward Gemmer was spying in her Gmail account for months, and while at the same time he was sexually being inappropriate with their daughter. He had escalated from the forced showering.

Edward Gemmer has a bad habit of getting people involved in his mess.  His present wife may one day also have to answer in court for taking my great granddaughter out of the country, and telling the child to pretend she is the mother if questioned by port authorities. She has also hidden my great-grandchild while her baby with Edward Gemmer is in daycare.  Why isn't she spending as much time with her own little girl. It is pathetic that this woman would stoop this low, neglect her own baby, and hide another mother's child out of spite.  She is very foolish to get involved in Edward Gemmer's mess.  He is not worth getting arrested or stopped and questioned by the police. She has no parental rights, is not a blood relative, and interference with custody is against the law.

BELIEVE YOUR CHILD

 The mother and this family believed the child when problems started when she was 4-years old and took action to protect her rights. The mother prevailed in her custody/divorce case. After the mother ordered transcripts and multiple complaint letters were filed Edward Gemmer ended up signing a Shared Parenting Plan prohibiting the very issues that were brought against him.  It was despite lies and corruption, that GOD has given the mother and this family the courage to speak up, file complaints with evidence against attorneys who got involved in Edward Gemmer's mess.

MEDIATION AND FAMILY THERAPY WAS IGNORED

Edward Gemmer has participated in court ordered mediation and court ordered family therapy, and still he has violated the court order and did so immediately after the case settled on February  24, 2012.  He does not respect the law or the court.  

The mother is following the Shared Parenting Plan and Edward Gemmer has disrespected the court repeatedly.  

If Edward Gemmer persists, he will eventually be stopped by either the court, police and prosecution.  He ultimately with be held accountable by the highest standards and not a continual cover-up.  I believe in God and I believe in the law. 

This website was also created because of injustice and to continually protect the minor child. She is generally doing very well because the mother is the primary caregiver, and this helps to minimize problems in the father's home such as: lack of proper supervision, interference with custody, and medical neglect that resulted three times in a need for 10-days of antibiotics. These serious concerns against Edward were recently brought to court in a Contempt of Court hearing. 

When the child told on her father, she was believed by her mother and this family and something was done about it.  Protecting this child has been an ongoing effort.

I am urging YOU to protect your child no matter how difficult. Just keep telling the truth and always document problems.  Sooner or later the court will understand your commitment to the well-being of your child, who deserves the best life possible.  A happy child is a contribution to the world. 

Fortunately, in our case my great granddaughter  is no longer complaining about inappropriate touching after the father, Franklin County Public Defender, Edward Gemmer signed an incriminating Shared Parenting Plan prohibiting his behaviors. The mother has joint legal custody and primary physical care of her daughter.  However, it was the outstanding advice from a Columbus Police officer privy to the unfairness of the situation and problems for the child, that letters be sent to the father's employer and the prosecutor's office. This action is what stopped Edward Gemmer from exposing his penis and urinating in front of the child when she was 6-years old and after the case had settled. Otherwise, Edward Gemmer would be still doing it.  This officer is well aware of how the Court was bamboozled by a corrupt guardian ad litem, Attorney Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher. Police officers have also advised the mother to document all problems and call the police if Edward Gemmer does not seek medical attention for the child, who has frequent vaginal infections, and severe peanut and tree allergies.    

It is a well-known conclusion from high profile cases that retaliation and threats will only further expose our sad and pathetic story about Franklin County Public Defender, Edward Simon Gemmer and his egregious conduct that is on the record after he suddenly started showering with his daughter when she turned 4-years old. He was the ONLY person ever accused or investigated criminally for sexual abuse. This family immediately filed police and FBI criminal reports when he used stolen emails communication to take the spotlight off his conduct. Edward Gemmer was also heavily addicted to pornography and he got rid of two computers. Nothing Edward Gemmer explained about his conduct which experts call "grey-area sexual abuse" has made any sense at all. What he did to my great-granddaughter was wrong and harmful to her well-being as she complained to her mother over and over again. All Edward Gemmer had to do was STOP it. He chose not to stop. 

Six months after case is over, he took the child into Circleville, Ohio Walmart family restroom, exposed his penis and urinated in front of her.  She was 6-years old and a bench was outside the door where she could have waited. How many excuses will people make for Edward Gemmer's conduct?  The child plays outside without his supervision and worry about kidnappers.   

Edward Gemmer also lied in a letter to the defend multiple complaints against guardian ad litem, Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher on October 25, 2013. 

In her letter to the court the mother described the size of the shower and the child repeatedly seeing her father's penis at 4-years old. The mother also stated in her letter that Edward Gemmer got away with escalating his inappropriate behavior, because he works in the courthouse and used his connections. 

ATTORNEY JOSEPH A. NIGH - UNETHICAL CONDUCT

During the September 2011 ECO Hearings, Attorney Joseph Nigh resorted to putting forth false evidence when questioning the child's therapist, Dawn Gross.  The pro se mother also a law school graduate is on the record objecting to his false evidence. Transcripts were ordered after the case eventually settled in the mother's favor and Edward Gemmer signed an incriminating Shared Parenting Plan. 

Please see section (Filing a Complaint - Alert Connections) - for more information and an excerpt of the transcript where Attorney Joseph A. Nigh fabricated evidence.)

People know unethical behavior and a cover-up and they talk among themselves about the truth. We have heard from a lot of people. And, they are getting fed up with children being harmed, and that protecting unethical attorneys and guardians are more important than protecting children. I am fed up with it. The mother and this family experienced injustice and bias when advocating for the child and this is dangerous and unacceptable.  

What is also a serious problem is Edward Gemmer when upset with the mother, he will unexpectently remove the child from school, and not disclosed his location and refuse the mother any contact with the child.  There are laws against this and they also apply to Edward Gemmer.  He has done this a few times in nearly 8 years and is a major reason that the mother has refused to sign for the child to have a passport.  The mother wants to know where her child is and she cannot trust Edward Gemmer, his wife, who has lied, and or his parents.  

If something happens to my great-grandchild, the WORLD will know about it, because the record does not support the lies in Franklin County Courts that have protected Edward Gemmer.

 

I want boys and girls and their parents to become empowered to speak up and end physical and sexual abuse, because children are increasingly being thrown under the bus. Studies have shown that children who speak up about being abused and something is done about it, they have higher self-esteem. They feel GREAT. They are also role-models and able to help other children. 

The vast majority sexual abuse allegations are "grey-area" sexual abuse. A lot of these situations take place at bedtime, bath-time and play-time. Judges and magistrates, who know the truth may turn a deaf ear, while attorneys and even court appointed guardian ad litems such as GAL Fisher will lie in their reports, work professionals, and fabricate evidence in order to protect the perpetrator's reputation. I want you to be especially cautious, if the perpetrator works with children. Their boss may tell ridiculous stories about "viruses" in order to protect the perpetrator from a thorough sexual abuse investigation, if a work computer is involved in a crime. Edward Gemmer used his work computer to download stolen email communications. It is a federal offense to hack and spy in email accounts during a divorce/custody case, especially when accused of sexual abuse. Everything the child is claiming is known by the perpetrator in advance, and attorney/client confidential information is accessed. Edward Gemmer pled the Fifth. Bosses trying to cover for an employee, instead of protecting an innocent child should know from history that it makes no sense to get involved with corruption.  No employee is worth compromising the integrity of a public funded institution that is supported by taxpayers.

The child may be paraded at work by the offender as a reminder to superiors as to why they need protection.  It is a vicious cycle.  Former Penn State coach, Jerry Sandusky is a sad commentary and a red-flag for all us to remember. Children are not valued enough when careers are on the line. But, the truth always comes out, because an adult suddenly showering naked with a child, then escalating to inappropriate touching, and in Sandusky's case to raping boys, is just the tip of the iceberg.   

Woody Allen's adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow recently wrote an open letter to the public about how her father filmmaker Woody Allen abused her when she was a child.  The link to her story is in her own words.  Rather than keep quiet, I commend this young woman for trying to help children and families.

http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/an-open-letter-from-dylan-farrow/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

" What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me." Dylan Farrow

09-DR-4727 divorce/custody case settled in the mother's favor just as Mia Farrow's case was settled in her favor.  Woody Allen would have gone to prison if he had been prosecuted.  He instead married the 18-years daughter that he and Mia Farrow had also adopted. Yes, famous filmmaker Woody Alan married his older adoptive daughter in order to cover-up the abuse that he had with his younger adoptive daughter.  This what professional child molesters will do to protect themselves, they marry quickly and often just as quickly have another child. They want to appear "normal" and "healthy."   

It is not uncommon that perpetrators will exploit friendships, coworkers and remarry because they need "protection."  They are commonly deadbeat fathers who think only about protecting themselves and not the child's emotional or physical well-being. In a marriage, they will find someone young, poor, under-educated, vulnerable and usually unattractive with low self-esteem. A pretty woman with children can also be a cover if she is naive. This marriage usually falls apart as the partner becomes older and wiser, and cannot compete with pornography addictions; or an unhealthy fixation on young children that is hard to mask without intensive therapy. And, wives and partners who condone these fathers will learn that what is done to one child and mother can be done to another. They find out the hard way, that they have married a child molester and they are just for cover.   

We want children to learn how to speak up. They should always be proud of themselves for having the courage to say "NO." 

GUARDIAN AD LITEM - MARY BETH KELLEHER FISHER - UNETHICAL

It is shameful what is happening to innocent children when corrupt guardian ad litems such as Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher are rigging cases in favor of making money.  She is unethical and malicious. She does not care about children who have the courage to speak up.

This family and other complainants have encountered continual lies and a cover-up when it comes to an unregulated guardian ad litem (GAL) system in Franklin County Domestic Court system that has allowed the contamination of divorce/custody court cases.  Since this website and a change.org petition, we have heard from dozens of angry and diverse parents and even attorneys who have serious complaints against GAL, Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher.  In many cases, Fisher has behaved as an attorney in the courtroom when she is appointed only as a guardian ad litem. GALs have immunity. Attorneys do not. GALs can lie, hurt a party, and nothing be done about it, unless you stand up for your rights and protect your child.  We are documenting all complaints against Fisher with names and dates of each complaint in Delaware and Franklin County Courts.  It does not matter if complaints are "dismissed" because this is expected and is part of the corruption.  It is public record and essential for you to know of all complaints against this GAL.  Please do not be intimidated. Just tell the truth in your complaint.  This heartless woman has caused a lot of misery for families and sooner or later the court will have to make changes.  

In retaliation, Fisher tried to coerce the mother and this family to not file disciplinary complaints against her.  Fisher's bill with names and dates came 30 days after the parents settled. She did this deliberately as a way to coerce the mother and this family to not file complaints.  We filed them and will continue to make our complaint regarding 09-DR-4727 known to others, because retaliation and lies about this family have not stopped.

In majority complaints against Fisher, she is accused of being biased and lying to professionals, fabricating reports, and not interviewing witnesses to learn the truth. Fisher's claim of innocence is that all complainants (parties) that do not know each other, and from diverse backgrounds are lying about her character.   

On November  15, 2013 all of Franklin County Domestic Courts judges recused from hearing a particular case that involves GAL Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher.  Why did this happen? There are definitive rules for judge's recusals. It is unprecedented for all judges including the "visiting" judge to recuse from hearing a case. Fisher was also being investigated by the Ohio Disciplinary Counsel for wrong doing. There is something very wrong with this woman and she is the subject of too much controversy. It is a disgrace that this court-appointed GAL has damaged the integrity of Franklin County Ohio Domestic Courts.  Fisher's conduct should not be tolerated because she is a serious liability. But, the court in my opinion should worry about massive lawsuits.  They may keep Fisher on the GAL listing, but not appoint her to cases, and if Fisher is appointed, she should be monitored closely from now on.  It is a hostage situation, because if she goes before the Ohio Supreme Court,  (based on Fisher pleading the Fifth repeatedly during my grandaughter's case) she will more than likely tell everything and destroy careers. 

The truth is after so many years Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher knows where all the bodies are buried and she will likely bring everyone down with her.  The court should be aware of this and should proceed cautiously. They will choose to protect careers including their own.  Ohio children need and deserve to be protected.  Keep filing your complaints against this woman, because the truth will always prevail.

 PARENTS PLEASE DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!

Despite outrageous lies continued to be told by Franklin County Public Defender, Edward Simon Gemmer and GAL/Attorney Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher - 09-DR-4727 was settled in the mother's favor because this family exposed the lies and fabrications of GAL reports that occurred during the Emergency Custody (ECO) Hearings before Magistrate Bryan Elliot.  The sexual abuse expert and witnesses for the mother also filed complaints against Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher.

It is also a fact that Judge Kay Lias insisted that the case be settled jointly, and that the mother insisted that safeguards are in place to protect her child from  sexual abuse. This is unusual in a Shared Parenting Plan. 

 PROTECT YOUR CHILD TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher  will work professionals in order to destroy the credibility of parents and CHILDREN asking for help.   Professionals are pressured to look the other way and are worried about referral opportunities. This is another reason that documentation is very important.  

 

I want you to know that "Unsubstantiated" does not mean "not guilty."  They are two very different things. The majority sexual cases are unsubstantiated meaning they cannot be proven in criminal court.  This happens quite often with very young children and "grey-area" sexual abuse allegations.  I want you to protect your child no matter what because your child is asking for help.  Do not be afraid to demand fairness and justice.  Hold people accountable by filing complaints and making police and FBI reports. The truth will always come out.  Lies fall apart in the end and when under a microscope when transcripts are examined.  Have your friends and family members come to court and write letters and affidavits on your behalf.  This is not the time to be embarrassed.  Maintaining custody of your child will depend on how hard you are fighting back. Just always tell the truth. 

I am certain that Edward Gemmer's fellow atheist colleagues on his Twitter account and Freethoughtblogs.com; and his other favorite atheist websites, would like to know the character of the person they are corresponding with because he is a shameless hypocrite when it comes to family values and civil rights.  As recently as October 25, 2013, Edward Gemmer wrote lies about this family directly to the court in order to defend Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher because other parents are complaining about his former GAL.  

WALMART BATHROOM

My last letters to Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Ventures was because the father had the audacity to take the child into a Walmart family restroom then expose his penis and urinate in front of my 6-year old great-granddaughter.  He bought her a Barbie Doll afterwards. He admitted that it happened, but by way of a "mirror." Well, I had the mother take photos of the restroom, and I sent the photos to the prosecutor's office and to his boss.  There is no way that the child could have seen her father's penis in the mirror over the sink.  Edward Gemmer did it deliberately. 

My concern is that Edward Gemmer did not stop on his own and escalated his inappropriate behavior. He should have been able to control himself, because it was in the best interest of his child.  Good and decent father do not behave this way. They do not escalate and find other reasons and ways to be inappropriate. They know it is harmful to their child. This family had to rely on letters to his boss.

 Edward Gemmer has lied repeatedly and still says he owns the Gmail account and gave my granddaughter permission to use it.  If he owned the account when he was illegally entering it, and downloading emails, why is Edward Gemmer unable to change the password to whatever he wants it to be now.  He is an outrageous liar. My granddaughter during trial provided proof that she created her Gmail in March of 2008.  She still uses the same Gmail account today.

Edward Gemmer provided no proof, and ended up pleading the Fifth to reading unfiled documents and to viewing private attorney/client conversations.  He knew before being interviewed exactly what the child was saying to her therapist and children service investigators, and that he was the only person she was complaining about.  It is a disgrace that this unethical man is an attorney.  

What is important to know is that no member of this family was ever investigated by children services, the police department or accused of wrong doing by anyone other than Edward Gemmer, Joseph Nigh and corrupt Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher.  The truth is evident in the context of the stolen emails. It is a Federal Offense to tamper with emails and splice them out of context in reports. This is why Edward Gemmer and Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher were pleading the Fifth and instructed to do so by Joseph Nigh.  They took apart stolen emails in order to tell outrageous lies. 

This family is transparent.  We went to the Columbus Police and Scioto County Sheriff Department and to the FBI.  We asked for a full investigation.  We immediately filed criminal complaints. Mr. Gemmer did not file any complaints, but claims he was "falsely accused."    

It is a fact that the only persons criminally investigated were Edward Gemmer and his father, Gary Gemmer who was prosecuted in Scioto County.

In the spring of 2011, Edward Gemmer's s father's Gary Gemmer was prosecuted in Scioto County. The original charge September 27, 2010 was ASSAULT against the mother.  His irrational behavior is the reason his son, Edward was 1st investigated for sexual abuse in September of 2010. Gary was investigated by Franklin and Fairfield County law enforcement for domestic violence. This violent man threw an 8-month pregnant mother (my granddaughter) on the ground three-times. According to affidavits and police statements, he and his wife Kathleen Simon were trying to withhold custody from the mother and keep the child at their home. The mother had filed for emergency custody, because Edward Gemmer had starting showering naked with their 4-year old daughter. The child was complaining to her mother and the father did not stop the behavior. He had all kinds of excuses.  When the ECO Motion was filed in 2010, Ed panicked left work, removed the child from preschool, and drove 2-hours away to his parents home.  At the time, he was also illegally accessing my granddaughter's Gmail account. Edward Gemmer testified in July of 2011 that he was viewing the emails because he wanted to know what was being said about the showering.  Now, why not just stop doing it when his daughter was complaining and was acting out?  It was stupid and says a lot about his judgment and perversion.  He had not been accused of anything when he initially began viewing the email communications.  When Ed took the child to his parent's house, he sent an email to the mother demanding that she withdraw her ECO Motion, or he would not bring the child home.  When the mother went to get her child from the grandparent's home two hours away, she was beaten up. It was an unprovoked attack and she had every right to take her child home.  Kathleen Simon stood there screaming like a raving idiot "get her" as her husband tried to wrest the child from the mother who has legal custody. 

Amazingly, this college educated professional did absolutely nothing to stop her crazy-acting husband.  Kathleen Simon did not care about the mother, her terrified grand-daughter or the possibility of an unborn child being harmed.  Her participation was as a proud vicious talking instigator, and she was at one point handed the screaming 4-year old, before Gary Gemmer fled like an idiot in his car with the child screaming in the back seat.  Our family called the Columbus police, Scioto County Sheriff Department and an Amber Alert.  The mother filed a criminal complaint.  

The mother was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She was cramping and bleeding from the vagina.  She could have miscarried.  Later that day mother and daughter were reunited, and this family brought them back to Columbus.  It took months to have Gary Gemmer prosecuted.  This man thought he was going to get away with his crime.  He was eventually sentenced to a 1st Offender Program.  He should have gone to prison.  But, he paid out a lot of money to attorneys to protect him from severe consequences of his irrational behavior.  The child was traumatized crying and screaming when she was snatched from her mother and driven away.  She had to have therapy for six-months.

Who would stoop low enough to attack a pregnant woman and harm a terrified grandchild? What woman, mother or grandmother a "Catholic" would support and participate in this type of behavior in order to protect her son, Edward Gemmer?  In my opinion, only ignorant low-class people who lack morals and common sense.  There was no justification for VIOLENCE.   How sad and what a disgrace.

Edward Gemmer and Mary Beth Kelleher Fisher repeatedly pled the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination. This happened throughout the proceedings until the case settled because of these lies. GAL Fisher never filed her 1st Interim Report that was laced with stolen emails into evidence, yet she and Edward passed it all over the courthouse and to professionals.  They knew it was an outrageous lie and absolutely unethical. They both should be held accountable and not protected by the courts.

PAID - PRIVATE POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION - Inadmissible

Edward under the direction of his attorney, Joseph Nigh took private polygraph examinations rather than at the Columbus Police Polygraph Unit where he was asked to take a polygraph, by a Columbus Police Officer investigating him for sexual abuse.  

Instead, Edward paid to have private polygraph's taken where he was encouraged to practice and rehearse how to respond to THREE questions. This is laughable and inadmissible in civil or criminal trials.

Perpetrators can pay a lot of money for results that they want.  Edward declined to take a legitimate polygraph conducted by a neutral party and this makes no sense.

THE COLUMBUS POLICE DEPARTMENT POLYGRAPH UNIT IS FREE AND RELIABLE.  

These private tests are inadmissible in court and children services and the criminal court do not recognize them as credible because of the money involved.

And, although, Edward was twice accused of sexual abuse, he was stupid and malicious enough to enter a Walmart family restroom and expose his penis to the child. I am still outraged.  This was 6-months after the case was settled and his promise to be sexually appropriate.  There is no acceptable explanation for his behavior.

Several witnesses on the stand, the child's school, pediatrician, his friends, and the child's therapist were told that Edward "passed" two polygraphs. What a joke.

 

     Please do not be afraid to speak up and loudly and PROTECT your child.
