I would hope that the people of Las Vegas would ALL state that they do not feel comfortable with a man with these types of allegations against him hearing their cases. If he should be exonerated in the future, that's fine. Despite the reputation of the city, how many would want to "gamble" the present welfare of their children on that happening?
I, too, was curious as to why the girl went to work for him after such alleged treatment. Perhaps the girls mother has only become his "ex-wife" since that time and she was still in fear of not taking the job. Hard to speculate with such vague information. If she took the job in her "20's", perhaps it was early 20's and he was still married to her mother.
Regardless, this is not the type of person I would want sitting in judgment over my child's welfare until his own name is clear.

On the other hand, there might be psychological reasons for the delay. Also, why did she continue to work for the judge years after she claimed to have been sexually abused? And allegedly had a consensual relationship thereafter. I was just wondering if it is normal for a sexually abused victim to continue to seek employment from someone who allegedly molested her.

Also, all their relatives work there. One big happy family. Back door deals are the norm. If you are in they cover for you. If you get someone PO'd they will take you down. The clerks are big players in this too. With that said, Gotta run. I need to round up Spoor I need a ticket fixed.

"Doper Donny" Mosley has been a blatant philanderer for decades. He picks his evening's date from among the defendants before him and was doing so even during his own sordid custody battle.
Why are these two on the bench while the Judicial Discipline Commission goes after DelVecchio? Simple. They didn't cross anybody.
The powers that be don't give a rat's patoot about Rebecca Murray any more than they care about Glen Lerner's ads. DelVecchio and Lerner got on somebody's wrong side. Who exactly is that? We'll never know. Maybe we should ask Chrissy Mazzeo.
I'd be tempted to lump Halverson right in here, but she caused her own problems.
Watch whether they actually take action against DelVecchio. If they do, somebody's mad. If not, he's still one of the gang.

Her mother has to take care of everything. Yet the father gets her 1 week every month; almost all holidays; 6 weeks in summer!! Family judge....NOT!! I have yet to hear that he has ruled in favor of the child! All he does is rule in favor of the father.
Remove the sex-offender.

Laura wrote on February 12, 2008 08:17 PM: AMAZING! This so called "honorable" figure has several times dismissed my Husband's attempts to win custody of his now 13 year old daughter. Even a Family Sexual Assault Detective for Metro here in Las Vegas interviewed the child and attested to "inappropriate conduct" in the child's Mother's home with regards to the "boyfriend, Uncle, fiance" or whatever else he might be referred to as. The judge in the beginning ordered the child NEVER to be left alone with the "significant other", yet never upheld his decision even after contempt filings by my Husband and several thousand dollars in Attorney fees! I never could understand his findings especially after working so many years for Child Welfare. Now I see it all only so vividly!!!! Such a shame if this is true. I also have a friend who has shared her very similar situation and rulings by this same judge.
Thanks for reading

There are so many slimeball rogue cops also there that they make the Mafia look like Boy Scouts! That goes for the "judges" there too. Yuk, pooey on such a pukey "town". At least "Sin City" doesn't put on any airs, which also stinks to high heaven!

undr cvr wrote on February 12, 2008 03:42 PM: If an accusation as such was raised on a normal person as far back as 2006, rest assured there would be all hell braking loose with possible arrests. There are sex offenders involving underage victims in the system as anyone knows with slim to no factual evidence beyond 'attempted' and 'he said she said'. These allegations are intense if true. So why are we two years down the road if there is anything to the allegations?

The Judicial Discipline 'activity' seems to be a showing for LACK of any actions against numerous valid judicial complaints.

For anyone following the big picture, we have matters ongoing involving district court and supreme court justices including Saitta,Cherry,and other 'ol timers'.

There is still a huge issue on the public defender matter and cover ups.

Dont let this distract from the other jusdicial issues. The whole system needs to be dismantled.

I am a woman and he ruled in favor of me so I really do not think he is sexist. Leave him alone! It's right before election time and the ex is obviously mad aout something and asked her daughter to do this.
