Several false and harmful claims have been made about me by both state actors and media outlets. I am actively pursuing defamation lawsuits to set the record straight, I have no sexual abuse conviction, and I'm not required to register as a sex offender.:
These cases aim to correct the false narrative and restore my name.
I was convicted in adult court for something I did as a juvenile. The law is clear — what happened was legally a delinquent act, not a felony. I should have never been charged in adult court. My attorneys at the time failed to raise the issue, and the court got it wrong.
This conviction is not legally valid, and the State of Iowa is now being forced to revisit it. A post-conviction trial is scheduled where I will finally have the opportunity to clear my name.
I was prosecuted federally for alleged threats against the Iowa Legislature. I pled not guilty and have always maintained that my words were political speech — not threats. I never intended to harm anyone.
A habeas corpus petition challenging the conviction is pending in the Eighth Circuit:
I am pursuing a racketeering claim against my former business partner, Scott Wetter, and SMW Refrigeration & Heating, LLC in Tempe, Arizona.
