Judicial Complaint 

Corrupt Magistrate Court of Newton County 

Case# 22-2101DS

Dear KKK Courtney Veal,

  I am in receipt of your recent letter showing a stunning lack of competence for someone tasked with protecting citizens from corrupt judges. It is obvious that you are a warrior for Governor Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp and her Graceless Commission. Child molesters and degenerates of all stripes deserve to know the Kreeper Kommandos prepared to protect their way of life.

  We never heard from an "investigator" from your office before blowing us off.  A Judge can make a ruling with the consent of both parties and then reverse it behind the scenes.  He does not need to contact defendants before making any new ruling. A slum lord plaintiff can contact him without both parties present and reverse his decision.  An ex parte conversation with one party to a lawsuit was not even mentioned in your poorly thought-out letter to me.  

  The identity of the complaining party nor the identity of the Supervising Judge ordering a reversal was not disclosed. Our appeal of the decision reversal was answered by Jumbo Judge Melanie Bell instead of Hobo Judge DeGonia. 

  To suggest we are disappointed is unfair.  You were appointed by a clown whose persona is centered around the numerous ways he was going to handle Georgia's business with his pickup truck.  He wanted to pick up illegal immigrants, distribute COVID 19 vaccines after failing to get the help we needed, and threaten to shoot anyone interested in dating his cracker children.  He decided to stop all these initiatives and bang Marty in their pickup truck love nest instead.

  In the end, he kept himself busy banging Marty and moving your organization from Milledgeville to the Capital to protect every corrupt Judge from civilized rules.  He changed leadership and put you in charge of his shit show in Georgia.  He needed a fool to ignore justice and keep the toilet paper stocked.  You won the race to the bottoms!

  We have nominated you to be a contestant in this year's Kemp Kreeper Commando Grand Wizard Competition.  We will be distributing your likeness along with your competitors to the community before we make our final determination.  You will have a lifetime posting on our creeper web site.  We will give everyone the opportunity to know the cowardice you exhibit on a daily basis.

  No need to thank us for this recognition.  You can send any supporters to Marty Kemp soon.  We look forward to providing you with the same justice you have offered us.

Newton County Manager

Notice of Intent to Sue 

Case # 22-2101DS 

Dear Mr. Cooper, 

Corrupt Newton County employees conspired with the Estate of Horace J. Johnson Jr. and his family members to close our rape crisis program and make our rescue horses homeless. Our program advocates for victims of child sex crimes. Since our opening in Newton County in 2005, we have helped hundreds of sex crime victims at no cost. We are proud of our service to the community. You can see the highlights of the sorry saga on our advocacy web site Johnson Crime Family (zorrow.org). You can see the rescue horses made homeless by a corrupt judicial process on our horse therapy web site Adopt-A-Horse, Inc. - Horseback Riding - Covington, Georgia. 

  I had a business relationship with Horace J. Johnson Jr. for 35 years. In 2004, we negotiated a 30-year lease for myself and my Foundation to operate on his family land. He managed the agreement until his death in 2020.  After his death, his surviving family members tried to force me to sign a new lease. I refused to sign a new lease under duress.  The family began a relentless campaign to remove me from the property and offer my lease to the hunters. 

  After two years, the family asked the Newton County courts to forcibly remove us from the property. They wanted to force us to purchase liability insurance for the first time in 18 years. Horace knew that the State of Georgia gave us immunity from liability unless we had insurance.  He agreed with us for eighteen years that liability insurance was not in anyone's best interest. Outsiders had offered to buy liability insurance on occasion, but we turned it down with Horace’s consent. 

  The family went to court asking us to purchase liability insurance. Judge Degonia ordered us to purchase insurance in the next thirty days. Both the Johnson family and I agreed to provide proof of insurance as requested. Judge Degonia changed his mind after our appearance in court and a week later ordered us to remove our operation. It is obvious that the Johnson family had changed their mind and he changed his order without speaking to us.  Judge DeGonia or a supervising Judge had an ex parte conversation with a member of the Johnson family. This corrupt behavior is the basis of our lawsuit against Newton County. 

  The leadership at the Newton County Courts failed to properly supervise their Judges. This lack of leadership gave the Johnson family immunity from proper functioning of a deeply flawed justice process. The citizens of Newton County need to pay for their employees' corruption. We deserve the money required to set up a new rape crisis center, bring our rescue horses home, and create a safe environment to help victims of child sex crimes with our horses. 

History 

Twenty years ago, I decided to help other survivors of child sex crimes with horses. I negotiated a thirty-year land lease with Horace J. Johnson Jr. I began with four Arabian endurance horses and minimal equipment I used for my endurance sport activities. His family property was 176 acres (about twice the area of a large shopping mall) with 25 acres of pastures and the balance a newly logged disaster zone. The property had no fence lines, water, or utilities. I had little money and no experience constructing ranch infrastructure. It was my first nonprofit organization. In short, it was a micro enterprise nonprofit missionary project. 

  A small group of fellow Catholic Clergy abuse survivors joined me in offering the survivor community help with our horses. We offered our program to various organizations as a platform for working local employees from various backgrounds and disciplines. We suggested that a focus on employees with a history as sex crime survivors would be the best target members of our efforts. Only public employees that were excited to work with our organization turned out to be survivors of child sex crimes. Every employee willing to work with us received harassment from their employers. All the organizations contacted boycotted our organization for the next fifteen years. 

  The first referral for service we received was from the Police Chief of Oxford. He wanted to send us a 13-year-old boy. I was told he was not a victim of a sex crime, but he was being forced to live with a non-biological registered sex offender. Based on the information given, I felt certain he was being sexually abused. I told the Police Chief that I was going to find out the journey facing this young man once he disclosed his abuse. My tour of the various public and private organizations tasked with helping children was an eye-opening disaster looking for a place to happen. 

  After this examination of the hurdles facing this young man, we found ourselves being forced into an advocacy role. Our horses became a therapy offering and the primary source of the revenue needed to support our mission. A lot of people were making great salaries and benefits with no positive or negative incentives for clearing cases and putting child molesters in prison. Everyone got paid and victims became a problem. More cases meant more work for no additional money. Everyone told a story that was a litany of excuses and victim shaming. Therapy was offered for a limited period with criminals working on dating their next child victim.  

Targeted Criminal Retribution 

Due to tough questions, we have been targeted for harassment and retribution by criminals with no one arrested. The issues were in direct response to our speaking up at public meetings, fliers mailed to community members describing the public employees' failures in their duties, and direct action from public employees abusing their power to try and close us down. The removal of our organization from Newton County has had a clear pattern of past behavior from public employees. 

1. Our wires were cut 36 times in four years. The constant destruction of our fence lines put our horses and the public at grave risk of being injured or killed. The Sheriff’s department did nothing to help the situation. 
2. The State of Georgia Equine inspectors camped out on our ranch for months.  We had at least one or two inspectors harassing us on a regular basis.  One inspector suggested we get an independent written review by a local equine veterinarian. After this analysis was done, the detailed review showed we were taking proper care of our horses.  
3. We were kept under investigation by the Equine Division of the Georgia State Agriculture Department for four years until a new Program director came to power.  He reviewed our program immediately and called off the inspectors permanently.  
4. We had three attempted thefts and one theft of our horses. Our horse Valentino was stolen. He was found by our fellow horse people in Florida. Three Atlanta news outlets interviewed us and made Newton County look foolish. In a meeting with numerous public officials, we were told by the local prosecutor that taking a stolen horse over state lines was not a crime. The first deputy was taken off the case and nothing was done to bring Valentino home. We asked for a copy of the meeting and Sheriff Brown said it was missing. Sheriff Nichols lied to us, and Sheriff Brown lied to us also. It is a consistent pattern with the law enforcement community. 
5. Horace J. Johnson Jr. threatened to remove us from the property on five occasions after advocating for rape victims. Local officials made a habit of calling him to voice their anger at our outreach effort on behalf of rape victims. He would speak harshly about our efforts, but he knew we both had lines that we did not cross. At the end of his life, he confirmed our value to the people we represented. 
6. The death investigation of Kimberly Cox and David Montgomery was a very contentious issue. Horace was asked by Judge John Ott to order us to stop asking tough questions about these cases. Judge Melony Bell was in the meeting when we asked tough questions about these cases with District Attorney Laya Zahn. Both Judges had supervisory control over Judge Degonia in our case discussed in this letter. They are both prime candidates for forcing Judge Degonia to remove us from the Johnson property. We deserve to know if they overruled the instructions from our first court appearance. 
7. We want a copy of the entire file on case number 22-2101DS noted above. We want the name of every employee assigned to the court on the day of our initial hearing. We want a copy of the calendar of cases for our first hearing. We want the name of every public employee and defendant on the calendar that morning. We need this information for depositions and the court ordered witness testimony for our civil cases.  

I want everything written about me and my Foundation. We are asking for a signed statement that all the emails, letters, memorandum, meeting notes, and internal communications have been provided to us. We want to avoid unnecessary time and money preparing for our civil case against Newton County. We will be asking for this information against Newton County and any other civil case on this issue. We will offer this information to the court of public opinion. It is important that taxpayers understand the behavior of the hired help. 

Conclusion 

  We will be taking our issues to the court of public opinion. You are responsible for the operating departments in Newton County. You need to coordinate a truthful response to our request. Your competence will be the primary topic of conversation on our web sites and social media outlets. Your recent employment contract is not a lifetime appointment. Your failure to get this request properly handled will be the prime topic of conversation in this case.

Judicial Complaint 

Corrupt Magistrate Court of Newton County 

Case# 22-2101DS 

7/12/2023 

Dear Ms. Veal, 

  My nonprofit organization, Adopt-A-Horse Inc, is celebrating our 20-year anniversary next month. We are a micro enterprise nonprofit. We started with a limited number of trained endurance horses to help victims of child sex crimes. We had taken a land lease and turned it into a functioning nonprofit. Our organization has helped hundreds of sex crime victims and rescued dozens of horses over the years. We had expanded into a finely tuned small operation that was prepared to work the process until the end of our land lease in 2034. 

  I was the victim of Judicial misconduct last year. My reputation and my nonprofit organization, Adopt-A-Horse, Inc., were devastated by the corrupt behavior of Judge John DeGonia in Newton County, GA. Judge DeGonia presided over a request from the Estate of Judge Horace J. Johnson Jr, Lottie Johnson, Yvette Johnson, Bryant, Johnson, and Horace J. Johnson III to force our rescue horses and rape crisis program from their property after eighteen years. Judge DeGonia found our thirty-year lease was valid and enforceable. After our initial court appearance and judicial order, Judge Degonia changed his order with no notice to me. 

During our court appearance on June13, 2022, Judge DeGonia ordered us to purchase liability insurance within thirty days. This order was given after both the plaintiff and defendant agreed to giving us thirty days to purchase liability insurance. We purchased the required policy within the first few days after our court date. I called the court requesting a place on Judge Degonia's calendar to show proof of insurance and request dismissal of the court case against me. I was refused a court date and told that he had issued a dispossession order against me and my Foundation. He changed his court order without any additional phone calls, meetings, or text messages. He obviously had an ex parte conversation with one or more of the plaintiffs in this case. 

  It is obvious that someone from the Johnson family contacted a Newton County Judge and requested a different outcome from our court date. This ex parte conversation occurred between Judge DeGonia and a different Newton County Judge or a member of the Johnson family. This ruling corrupted the normal order of a functioning justice system. Both parties to the case needed to be present to argue for a reasonable discussion of the change of direction. 

  We immediately sent a letter asking for a reversal of Judge Degonia's second ruling. Two days prior to the Sheriff coming to remove our operation and horses from the property, we received a letter from Probate Judge Melanie Bell that denied any reversal back to the second ruling. Horace J. Johnson’s Jr. name on the Newton County Judicial Center gave his family the ability to steal 18 years of our hard work, a home for our rescue horses, and a service center for rape victims. This corrupt ruling took away our ability to support our nonprofit organization for the next 12 years. 

  We have asked for the new head Judge of Newton County to give us some answers about those responsible for this corrupt behavior. He has ignored our request. We are asking you to use your position to investigate the corrupt judicial conduct in this case. We have documented this case in real time on both my web sites (www.Adopt-A-Horse.org & www.Zorrow.org). 

 1. We are asking for the name of the person or persons from the Johnson family that contacted the Newton County Judicial Center about changing Judge Degonia's ruling of 6/13/2022. We want to sue the people responsible for reversing this ruling. 

2. We want to name everyone involved in closing our operation helping victims of crime and rescue horses. We are going to shame the people responsible for this theft. We want to avoid slandering an innocent party's name. We have a robust outreach to the court of public opinion. 

3. We want your commission to dismiss those Judges that crossed the line in this case. We want their license to practice law permanently taken from them. We need Newton County Judges in our upcoming civil proceedings to know there are consequences for denying us impartial judicial review of our lawsuits for monetary damages.  

  We ask you and your staff to do your job in a timely fashion. We are publishing your leadership outcome on our websites. No need to thank us for your generous exposure on our web sites and social media. I encourage you to visit and keep up with our progress towards justice. 

Sincerely,

Dennis Horion

New Newton County Head Judge needs to locate the corrupt judges and hold them accountable!

Case # 22-2101DS 

2/28/2023 

Dear Judge Morris, 

  Last year Newton County Judge/Judges conspired with the estate of Horace J. Johnson Jr. and his family members to close our rape crisis program, force our rescue horses from their home, and steal our property improvements. This action was without due process after a long and determined fight by the Johnson Family to force us to renegotiate a new lease after the death of Horace J. Johnson Jr. Horace’s name on the judicial center cannot allow his family to ignore the rules of the criminal justice system. The hired help acted like the system works for the Johnson family instead of the taxpayers. 

  We have a thirty-year lease on Horace’s family property on Johnson Terrace in Covington. We were in year 16 of our lease when Horace died. Prior to his death, Horace was our point of contact exclusively at his request. We met with him for the last time 5/30/2020 for three hours to brief his oldest son on the status of the land and our contract. He told us that we had no reason to be concerned about our continued presence on the property. He praised us for our advocacy efforts for victims of child sex crimes. After his death a few short weeks later, his family started their campaign to renegotiate our lease.  

We have started a page on my advocacy web site that gives a limited overview of the process as it took place https://zorrow.org/johnson-crime-family. We will be adding content to this page as it becomes available. Our additional content will include emails between myself and Horace, his family members, and relevant public agencies.  

Horace was a slippery character. He forced us to record his telephone conversations with us. We will be publishing the actual recordings along with transcripts of the calls. The community will learn that he was a slum lord, an incompetent businessman, a man prone to ignoring any agreement he signed, destroyed our improvements without compensation, and in his words a “selfish” person. After our factual presentation, the community is going to be surprised to learn he received the honor of having the Justice Center named after him.  

On June 13, 2022, Judge Degonia presided over a case between us and the estate of Horace Johnson Jr., his sons, his sister, and his mother seeking to force us to obtain liability insurance. Judge DeGonia, stated that our lease was valid, and our rent was paid and up to date. Horace never wanted liability insurance, but his family wanted us to get liability insurance. We knew that this effort was being used to try and force us out of business. Judge DeGonia settled the case by giving us thirty days to obtain liability insurance. Both parties agreed to these terms. We purchased liability insurance within a week of his decision. 

Despite our obtaining insurance, Judge DeGonia signed a dispossessory order against us without any further court appearances. He contradicted his own order and gave us thirty days to find a home for all our horses, working dogs, and equipment. He was too much of a coward to face us and explain the reason for reversing himself. We wrote a letter asking him to reverse his dispossessory order. He did not feel the need to answer our letter. He gave his boss the job of turning down our request without explanation.  

It is obvious the Johnson Family or their representative found a corrupt Judge. They got our case decided differently than we agreed to on the 13th of June 2022. We are going to be asking the State of Georgia to review the judicial misconduct in our case. In addition, we are going to make a formal complaint to the Georgia Bar Association against the lawyer/lawyers responsible for this stain on the judicial system in Newton County. We are asking you to investigate this matter and identify the person or persons involved in this travesty of justice. We want to bring the civil process into a responsible level of discourse for our future efforts in this courthouse. 

  The real court for this matter will be the court of public opinion. Our fellow citizens need to know their tax dollars are being used by a handful of corrupt public employees to benefit a small group of white-collar criminals in the community. We want the victims of child sex crimes to know we will not stand by and be the target of every low life public employee in the community. Victims need to know we will stand for them against the coordinated efforts of the justice system. The Johnson family needs to be held liable for their criminal misconduct. 

  Please feel free to contact me at 770-712-8685 or dennis@adopt-a-horse.org if you have any questions. Our communication will be posted of my advocacy web site at https://zorrow.org/newton-citizens-review. You can thank your colleagues for your permanent presence with a host of child molesters and criminals on my advocacy web site. I hope we can post your quick and comprehensive response to our concerns. We hope for the best and plan for the worst. 

Sincerely,

Judge DeGonia Helps Johnson Crime Family Make Rescue Horses Homeless!

Judge John B. DeGonia, Jr.
30 Meadow Lane
Covington, GA 30014
Notice of Intent to Sue
Case# 22-2101DS
Dear Sir,
 Last year you presided over a case involving a dispute between myself and the Johnson family of Covington. The dispute was over a provision in my 30-year lease that allowed the family to require me to purchase liability insurance for my rescue horses. You gave us thirty days to purchase liability insurance with the consent of both parties in the dispute. I purchased liability insurance within 5 days of our court date. I asked to appear in your court a week after our first appearance to ask for the dismissal of the case against me. My request was denied.  
 You signed an order to make my rescue horses homeless, close a rape crisis program after 18 years, and you ordered Sheriff Brown to forcibly remove our operation from the Johnson property. We wrote a letter asking you to reverse your order. You did not have the courage to answer our request directly.
 Judge Melony Bell sent a terse one-line response denying our request to enforce the original order from you. Your office told a reporter from 11Alive that we had to work out our problems with the Johnson family. We did as you ordered, and we lost everything. A nonprofit operation had been operational for 18 years. We lost the 12 years left on our lease which was closed due to your corrupt behavior.
 Your decision to change your mind without including us in the conversation was a serious breach of judicial ethics. Your conduct was outside the normal course of business for a Magistrate Judge. You decided it was in your best interest to allow the criminal Johnson family to sell my lease to the hunters on their property. Their relentless crusade to force us off the property and sell our valid lease over a two-year period culminated with your new judicial order.
 It is obvious that you benefited personally from your action. You have been found guilty in the court of public opinion. We have publicized your theft of our secular mission on our web sites and our social media forums. We have asked the State of Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission to revoke your ability to work as a Judge and take away your license to practice law. Your career needs to end as soon as possible. We need to send a message to every Judge expected to hear our upcoming civil cases to understand there will be consequences to blindly servicing the needs of the criminal Johnson family.
 I am asking you to cooperate with our search for the truth. You can count on being called to testify as both a defendant and a witness in the case against yourself, the hunters, and the Johnson family members. Any refusal for your testimony will help the Judicial Commission in their determination of our complaint against you. Any variation from the truth is going to put you, your staff, the Johnsons, and Newton County in more legal difficulties than everyone faces already.
 The Johnson family spoke with someone in an ex parte conversation after our court date. We want to know the details of their outreach. We want names, dates, and exact commitments given to these criminals. We want to know if you were ordered to change your ruling or if you did it without orders from a supervising Judge. We want to know if there was any consideration given for your ruling against myself, my rescue horses, and the rape victims we help with our efforts.  
 You need to contribute the money needed to replace our leased land. We need to purchase our horses from the homes where they are currently living. We need money to replace the trailers, camper trailer, tools, and equipment sold last year. Our rescue horses deserve to live with the same family that they lived with, in most cases for fifteen years or more. Survivors of child molestation deserve to have a rape crisis program hidden in plain sight. Public employees and rapists need to know we will stand against the forces of evil without fear or prejudice.
 You are responsible for removing an especially important experience for locals and international visitors. Our highly trained Arabian endurance horses provided over 7,000 visitors with their first experience with horses. The vast majority were novices who enjoyed a safe time on a tour of an 1,100-acre game preserve. Highly skilled people were in awe of the quality of horses in our program. Private tours were given to small groups of people by highly trained instructors working for no salary. Everyone worked to support a mission that you trashed with a corrupt action.
 We offered the only driving program for outside visitors anywhere in the Southeast. The opportunity was unique enough to have Playboy TV film a segment for their network. Their fully dressed actors were given an opportunity to drive our carts for an internationally distributed segment. Our community has fully supported our desire to continue our program in a scaled down version with two driving rigs. The community knew our mission was a critical service to the community. Our service to rape victims is well known and applauded.
 You came to our court date looking like a hobo dressed like a Judge. You let us know your wife complained about spending $77 on gas that morning. You were speaking to a group of people that you planned to throw out on the street that morning. You threatened us with a seven-day notice allowing the Sheriff to throw our program out on the street. You are a pathetic old man in need of relevance and power. You can share with your grandchildren your retirement job is throwing their poor fellow students out on the street for your own entertainment.
  You have been convicted for theft from our program on our multiple online media. This information is not going to change. You can be courageous in your denial of responsibility for your ruining our operation. You owe a sincere public apology to your wife Sharon, your family, friends, the community, and your fellow public employees. You have permanently stained your fifty-year career as an attorney. You have brought dishonor to your fellow veterans with your behavior. The least you can do is put on your man pants and accept responsibility for you actions and cooperate with our civil cases.
  Your wife Sharon needs to understand that we have email addresses for thousands of people that have ridden our horses over the years. We have helped hundreds of families deal with the rape of their children in a community where 90% of child rapists are never successfully prosecuted. Horace J. Johnson Jr. before his death spoke highly of our service to the community and assured us, we were going to continue to operate on his family property. Sharon needs to know the amount of our final damages, both real and punitive, could easily exceed the value of your home. Imagine the irony if rape victims or riding clients forced your family on the street due to this case.
 Everything you do will be part of the public record. I expect you to act with honor and make your grandchildren proud of their grandfather. You may not be aware of the consequences of your actions, but they will live with your cowardly behavior for years to come. You have left an indelible mark on their family name. Their name will be linked to this case for years to come.

Horace's Family Are Morally Bankrupt Mediocre Talent Relying on His Good Name to Hurt Rescue Horses 

Our organization has a thirty-year land lease on 176 acres in Covington, GA.  Two years ago, the owner/ manager, Judge Horace J. Johnson Jr., died from Covid 19.  The Newton County Court house was named after him.  Upon his death, his heirs began a relentless campaign to force us to sign a new lease.  We refused to sign the submitted lease and the two-year torture campaign started.   

  The Johnson family recently took us to court to cancel our lease and move us off the property.  The Judge decided to force us to get an equine liability insurance policy.  He told us that our lease was valid once this was done.  We got the insurance as requested.   

  One week after our meeting about our lease, we were sent a notice to vacate the property.  The Johnson family got a Judge to give us a different outcome without any notification.  This action was a Judge ordering a corrupt action at the request of the family.  Newton County judges are corrupt including Horace J Johnson Jr.  We can give proven examples of his corrupt behavior.  

  The sons took after their father in this regard.   Unfortunately, our rescue horses and rape crisis program are going to be homeless after next Wednesday without help from the outside.  We would appreciate your help in keeping a home for our herd of horses.  The rape victims we have helped over the last 17 years have grown to rely on our advocacy and support.  

  We want to show the Newton County Sheriff dragging our horses and ponies from this facility.  Our rent is paid, and every request has been done.

Dear Judge Degonia,   

  We appeared in your court on June 13 at 8:30 am to address a contract dispute with the Johnson family.  After careful consideration, you gave us thirty days to get equine liability insurance.  We purchased the requested insurance within a week of our appearance in your court.     

  We wanted to attend your last recent court session to give you proof of insurance.  We were told that we could not get on your calendar since our case had a dispossessory issued against us.  We forwarded an electronic copy of our policy along with the contact information of our insurance agent.  We received confirmation that this information had been added to the case file.  We were told that your next workday is July 11, 2022.  

  We have an urgent request to dismiss the case against us.  We have complied with your request as directed in a timely manner.  We forwarded a copy of our equine insurance liability policy to the Johnson family.     Yesterday we received the enclosed correspondence from Bryant Johnson demanding we vacate the property on July 13, 2022.  We have complied with your instructions concerning liability insurance.  Our rent is paid and current.  

  We will be paying the rent for the upcoming September deadline as agreed to in our lease.  We are asking you to stop this action by the Johnson family.  They agreed to the terms ordered by you on June 13.  Their decision to ignore their commitment to the court shows their lack of good faith in this case.   

 My lease is with the Johnson family.  All the equipment and infrastructure were donated to my Foundation directly.  All the horses and infrastructure belong to my Foundation.  We have been working as missionaries with no compensation for years.  We cannot relocate all of the Foundation's assets in two days.  We had every reason to believe that we had complied with your instructions to the letter.  

  We are asking you to stop this process before our nine rescue horses and ponies are rendered homeless.     We were denied the ability to speak with you directly on July 11.  We are asking for a timely response to our urgent request.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  

Sincerely,

  Johnson Family Declares Moral Bankruptcy! 

The Johnson Family working to make our horses homeless!

 Horace and I had a personal and business relationship for thirty-five years. He was a client for twenty years when I designed custom men’s clothes. Men develop a strong personal relationship with the man responsible for their personal appearance. My company provided both men’s and women’s clothing for his wedding. I provided his tailored clothing until I changed my career in 2005.  

   I started owning horses in 1990. In 1998, I began an eight-year journey of competing in endurance events. After completing over twenty-five 25 & 50-mile competitions, I began a nonprofit organization to help victims of child sex crimes with horses. I have been teaching horseback riding and driving for twenty years.    

   Horace and I worked for approximately one year on an agreement to manage his family’s 176 acres (about twice the area of a large shopping mall) in Covington. Horace’s mother and sister signed this agreement also.  

   We agreed on a contract giving me a 30-year contract to manage the property and develop it into an equine facility to help victims of child sex crimes with my horses. Our efforts were expected to be a long expensive process to meet the rigorous standards needed to maintain the Johnson Family conservation tax status. We did all the work to develop the ranch with no financial or labor assistance from the Johnson Family.  

   I installed miles of fence lines, utilities, multiple pastures, and miles of fire breaks for controlled burns. This infrastructure was financed by donations from supporters to my Adopt-A-Horse Foundation. We offered riding tours to finance the horse program. The horses paid for themselves while the extras were financed with donations from kind donors. The horses gave approximately 8,000 people tours in return for a lifetime home. Numerous dogs provided security on our tours.  

   Horace was aware of my undergraduate and graduate school studies at California State University at Los Angeles in Criminal Justice. I was a public administrator at four different agencies with a specialty in law enforcement. I was a consultant for four cities during this period.  

    After finishing graduate studies in Los Angeles, I worked as a college teacher for the US Military in Germany. After a brief period, I started my first successful business in Europe selling to the US Military as my only client. I returned to America and started my second business in 1985. I worked for myself as a men’s custom clothing designer for the next twenty years.  

   This background made me professionally qualified to be an advocate for victims of crime. After coming out as a Catholic clergy abuse survivor, I decided to help victims of child sex crimes. My Foundation has been advocating for individual victims since my Foundation’ arrival in Covington in 2005. We have taken immense pride in offering victims help without charging any money for our advocacy efforts or horse therapy time. We have advocated for change in the treatment of victims of crime without fear or prejudice. We never took Government money for our efforts.  

    I met with Horace and his eldest son on May 30, 2020, just days before his sudden death. We took an extensive three-hour tour of the ranch and discussed all aspects of the land maintenance, scenic tours, and our advocacy efforts. He left with two particularly important thoughts. He agreed that we both helped victims of crime in our own chosen roles in the community. He also assured me that our presence and my lease were not in jeopardy. He appreciated our challenging work and thanked both myself and my lover/ partner for our daily efforts. We miss him dearly.  

    His family has disgraced his memory ever since his death. His family immediately demanded we sign a new lease.  Horace’s sons sold every tree to loggers and trashed our rental property after we paid our rent.  The Johnson family began a campaign to negate our lease, walk us off the property, steal our property improvements, and harass us regularly for the past two years since Horace’s death.  

    We have paid our rent early every year for the last 17 years. We do not owe them any money. Eight months after paying our rent, they tried to send us our money back for last year's rent. They demanded access to our horses and pastures with ten days' notice. They have now filed a dispossessory notice within the courthouse bearing their father’s name. Our court date is June 13, 2022, at 8:30 am. You are encouraged to join us and watch the next chapter in their efforts to steal our horses and improvements.

From: Dennis Horion      

May, 2,2022

  You accepted our rent checks eight months ago. Our rent is paid until September of this year. I will be paying our rent again this year in accordance with the terms of our lease. You have accepted our rent for the last two years as prescribed in our lease. I have no intention of closing a rape crisis program offering equine assistance after seventeen years of a thirty-year lease. You are setting arbitrary deadlines to steal my Foundation’s property and harm our efforts to provide a permanent home for abused animals.      

  You think there will be no consequences for this arbitrary attempt to shut down our missionary efforts. I assure you that this overt effort to steal our rescue horses and shut down our operation will be met with vigorous opposition at every turn. You have taken my kindness for weakness. I have dealt with your behavior since your father's death with tolerance in the extreme. Your efforts to force me to renegotiate my lease after all these years of money and hard labor were disrespectful and morally repugnant.    

   My patience with this behavior is now at an end. Your father has had a front row seat to our advocacy efforts over the years. He understood our efforts on behalf of victims of child sex crimes was both informed and relentless. He threatened to cancel our lease on five separate occasions, but he reversed course after some careful reflection. I hope you reconsider your attempt to steal the work of myself and countless volunteers for no good reason. At this point, I want your written assurances that this continued harassment will end permanently.   

Horace Johnson Jr. Commitments     

   I met with your father and your brother James on May 30, 2020, for over three hours to discuss the status of our working relationship. A large list of issues both past and future were discussed in detail. Your father assured me that our lease was solid with no thought of our removal from the property. In a few short weeks, you spoke with me on the phone at length about our working relationship going forward. It is a normal course of business to record important conversations. Our conversation was recorded in case you were unable to effectively relay our discussion to all the parties to our agreement.    

  It was during this conversation that you discussed your grandmother’s decision to cancel our agreement and force me to sign a new contract. You wrote an agreement that clearly showed that you wanted to remove me from the property and hand my efforts over to John and Richard in return for unspecified additional work. You suggested that I was not helping you remove me from the property and stealing my arduous work. You gave me a one-sided demand and then refused to stop harassing me incessantly for months. We offered to pay the rent as early as May of 2020. You finally accepted our payment in October 2020.    

  Your acceptance of those funds came with the acceptance of the terms of our agreement outlined in 2004. No changes were made to the original agreement.   

2020 – 2021 Season    

  The first year of your property management role was a disappointment. You gave Richard and John permission to hunt without collecting on their outstanding cutting duties or collecting their rent. Richard lied to you about his presence on the property. You refused to have him remove hunting stands and his presence despite photographic evidence of his trespassing after we paid the rent. We told you he presented a clear security risk since he was making incredible claims of chasing poachers during his poaching time. We have photos showing no such incursion took place. His final presence on the property took place on November 28, 2020, under a hail of gunfire from across the street. Richard is an unstable fool and John was a liar and a thief. They proved my words of caution, and you did nothing to stop the madness.     

  We ended up paying the rent, cutting the pastures, repairing the fences, disabling the remaining hunting stands, and cleaning up our fire breaks. We spent over 600 hours cleaning up their filth with no compensation for our time and the use of our tools. We spent $325 in contract cutting services to clean up the front pastures. It was an expensive and time-consuming effort with no time our effort from anyone in your family. You paid no heed to our advice, and we paid the price. You put our personal safety at significant risk from a clearly unstable man angered over his forced removal from the property.   

2021-2022 Season    

  We received your enclosed correspondence attempting again to unilaterally cancel our lease.  We responded with a detailed history of the relationship with us.  We spoke about the takeover of our management responsibilities and the resulting loss of valuable time and effort to complete the State of Georgia mandated forestry plan. Your father conceded his failure to get the plan implemented correctly during our meeting with James.  Our access to large parts of the property was destroyed due to these shortcomings.     

  We cut the front pastures a second time and cleared the six-foot-high weeds along all the fence lines. We expanded our fences lines near our base of operations to open a second separate for more space for our ponies. We cleaned all the fire beaks we installed as prescribed in the plan. We performed extensive maintenance along all our fence lines allowing us to secure our horses and ponies without concern for their safety.     

  Once all this work was completed, you contracted a company to destroy the scenic nature of the property in search of every tree capable of making you money. Months of daily heavy equipment trashing the property kept us from bringing our horses to the wooded areas. The fire breaks were ruined with heavy track equipment and the nasty mess left behind was an affront to our arduous work. Your contractor destroyed and removed all the fences we had recently installed for our ponies. Your contractor put debris on large parts of our fences that we had to fix a second time in six months.

   Now that 90% of the work to correct the damage from your contract has been cleaned up, you want to steal our demanding work. Cleaning up behind your contract has cost us an additional 500 hours of intense manual labor.  Instead of offering to help us with the cleanup with labor or money, you want to take our work and sell it to the highest bidder.       

  As a part of your contractor’s work, they destroyed the tree being used to secure the entrance to the rear of the property near your grandmother's home. There are no keys to the rear of the property since the gate was removed. We are not going to give you keys to our fenced area given your inability to handle livestock.    

  Any attempt to take over our operation will be met with the kind of fervor afforded any other thief.  Anyone victimized by a concerted effort to put our horses' lives at risk will be met with the same resistance that a parent would have for the safety of their children. Your threat to show up and close our program to help rape victims will be met with a public airing of our grievances until our rights are restored. I will not walk away from God’s missionary work. You do not want to extend your slum lord tactics to our operation. Neither we nor the government will allow you to put our animals on the street like renters' belongings. Any talks with us must start with your agreement to stop your efforts to cancel our lease.

Tue 8/3/2021 10:51 PM 

  We went and got the balance of the money for the rent for 2021 & 2022 today.  I was going to send you this in the morning.  I can save myself some time and send it to you now.    You asked for a year to learn the project and manage it correctly. The year is over, it is now time to discuss the results of your efforts. You said you were going to visit the property once a month and learn the project with our help. You have been MIA for the entire year. The only time I have seen you here was approximately seven years ago for one hour and you were late for that meeting. I have not seen you on the property since that meeting.    

  You decided to try and cancel our thirty-year lease without cause. You have tried to impose a new lease during a pandemic since we were closed to the public. You have tried to force us to have a meeting on zoom with the whole family, including your elderly frail grandmother, to dictate the terms of your new lease proposal. James was prepared to protect us and keep us from being overwhelmed. You took our rent money and allowed Richard and John to hunt and not pay their hunting fees or cut the property.     

  You have harassed us with a deluge of emails, phone calls, action memos, and a certified letter. You have issued permission slips, demanded we pay your liability insurance, and give you unlimited access to areas with livestock and working dog/ dogs. You want keys to our working areas after you decided you had the right to cancel our lease and take over our improvements. In short, you have treated us like ignorant field hands with no lease or common sense.   

  Our lease is the only valid agreement between us. I am personally a party to the only lease that counts. All the improvements on the property were donated to Adopt-A-Horse, Inc. Every item of value has a vanity plate naming the donor of each item. Everything of value belongs to a Georgia Corporation in good standing. In the event the horses are removed from the property at my death, everything is going to go with the horses. There are no improvements, including water and electricity infrastructure, that will remain without the horses present.     

  Your agreement is with me. I personally own nothing of value. I have no reason to have liability insurance since there is nothing to take. The Foundation has no liability under Georgia law. The details were provided in our earlier emails. If you feel the need for liability insurance, you need to contact your insurance professional. We are maintaining your property, paying your taxes. and helping you stay in conservancy. We are not going to subsidize your lifestyle beyond our current obligations.    

 You said we spoke for three hours on the phone, and it meant nothing to you. We spoke for an hour and seventeen minutes. I recorded our conversation in case you misrepresented our discussion. I have written numerous answers to your endless questions which you ignore immediately. You wrote a lease agreement that was an exact outline of your intent to breach our contract, personally profit from our efforts, try to make us subservient to the hunters wishes, and take over our improvements unless we allowed you to treat us like slaves to your whims and wishes.

Ignoring your lack of manners has only emboldened your disrespectful behavior. Your contract illustrated the essential elements of the crime of theft. You detailed the motive, method, and opportunity of your intended theft from a rape crisis program. Since our check was made out to your aunt and your father’s estate, you brought everyone into your efforts to help child molesters escape justice and make our horses homeless.     

  You obviously made commitments to Richard and John about your forcing me to sign a new lease. Your efforts proved to be relentless and a waste of time. Your father would have demanded the trails, fire breaks, and the pastures be cut before discussing a new hunting contract. He would have never given the permission to hunt for free while trying to coerce me to sign anything. He would have forced them off the property if they were unable to work out a deal in August. You decided to let them avoid 90% of the cutting, allowed them to hunt for free, let them leave their hunting stands in place to this day, and you let them endanger us without recourse. You got snippy with me when I asked you to get them gone saying “you weren’t my secretary.”    

   Richard borrowed equipment and he refused to let us know where he had hidden it. He took expensive equipment home and refused to return it. He went over the door of our gold horse trailer and took tools and never returned them. He left with a lawn mower he said he had given us. It was a piece of junk we refused to pour money into. He hoped we had fixed it for him to take on his last day on the property. He saved us the time and effort of hauling it off to the recycling center for disposal. 

    Richard is the primary suspect in an incident of acts of abuse against two of our horses. I filed a police report and named Richard as the key suspect. I was told anyone having keys to our horse pastures has an implied consent to do anything they want. We and the porta potty driver are the only ones with keys to the pasture area. No one else needs access to our horses. Anyone found in the pastures is guilty of trespassing. Property owners do not have the right to enter rented property unless there is a maintenance issue that needs to be addressed. Your family can see everything from the road. Your family did not contribute to any improvements, and you are not going to fix anything that breaks. The neighbors have been asked to call the Sheriff if anyone is inside our wires.  

   Richard came to me with his arms crossed in 2019 yelling at me and prepared to fight me due to his anger over our disagreement over our stance on his many issues. He thought he could intimidate me with his behavior. I stood my ground, and he came back later and apologized for his behavior. We told you Richard was mentally unstable and hunting without permission. 

    We have taken photographs to prove his allegations of chasing off someone on a four-wheeler were nonsense. The day before he said he chased a poacher off the property it rained. We took pictures showing there were no vehicle tracks but Richard's truck. In addition, there were trees down that would have been needed to be removed for a four-wheeler to come on the property. We have pictures showing none of the downed trees had been removed. On his last day on the property, he told you he was receiving incoming fire from across the street. Obviously, that was made up completely. No evidence is available to corroborate that wild story. 

   The only person we have seen poaching on the property was a guest of John’s and he had a key to our gates. John gave his guest permission to shoot our dogs if they bothered him. Both these guys are dangerous to us and our guests. You refused to do your duty and protect us from them. 

    You refused to have them remove their hunting stands. They lied to you about the number of stands in place. Richard removed two stands on 11/28/2021 after saying he had only one there. They have left at least three of their stands and a renovated stand that are still in place today. It appears you are still wanting them to come back this year for another season after making orders to us about you wants and needs. My patience with this is over. I will not let you have Richard and John come back for hunting after we pay our rent like last year. You took our rent under false pretenses.   

     Since you were incapable of getting them gone, I was fully prepared to remove them from the property if they stayed beyond your final deadline in December. Our efforts started out with a permanent placement on our child molester web site (https://zorrow.org/equine-justice-warriors  Login - Zorrow Zorrow IS An Advocate for Victims of Child Sex Crimes. Zorrow / Justice Warrior; Official Support For Rape; Boy Scouts Hide Mass Rape zorrow.org ). Their efforts to undermine our organization, has made them a direct threat to our rape crisis program. We were prepared to send out 300 invitations/ fliers announcing their new status on our creeper web site. We would have sent out the mailers even if you had gone against our lease and taken their hunting money. We have multiple recordings of your father. In one recording he admitted that signing a hunting agreement with Richard and John without my signature was in violation of our agreement. He said, “I am going to sign an agreement with them because I am being selfish.” 

    Your father and I respected each other’s dissimilar roles in the community. We agreed to help our community differently. We had boundaries that allowed us to perform our roles without rancor or disrespect. He was clear to James and me in our last meeting that he had no intention of removing us from the property. He had a front row seat to the effect of our advocacy efforts. He always appreciated our agreement to not take any disagreements public. We always worked it out privately. We may not have always agreed but we had never disrespected each other. I was never his field hand and he never acted like a slum lord to me. 

    Your father was routinely told of the quality of our horse program. Numerous victims of abuse and their families told them of their trust and respect for our advocacy efforts on their behalf. Local politicians that were shamed because of our efforts changed policies and provided more resources to victims of child sex crimes. 

    Your father took over management of the property the last day I saw you on the property years ago. I called the DNR central office to complain about the local DNR crew’s trashing of the fire breaks we installed. The DNR crew refused to do the work of installing the correct fire breaks. They refused to do any more real work since your father told them to ignore me. He signed off on the $2,000 grant after the local DNR crew said they would owe him the work. They had the audacity to pressure your father to write a check for the work before he was paid by the State of Georgia. They never came back, and they did none of the work promised. 

    DNR sent your father a grant offer of $4,800 a few years later. Your father asked me to meet with him, John, and Richard to help him make a proposal for the grant money. We made proposals about the work that was needed to complete the conservancy plan. We agreed on the priority of work to be performed. Your father walked away with his notes from that meeting and wrote the grant request. 

     Once the grant was received, your father had a conference call to discuss the implementation of the contracted work. Your father told us that he was worried about the contract financial issues. He told us that the local DNR people demanded that he pay the bill for the work done and wait for the State to reimburse him for the work. In short, he may need to fund the $4,800 until the State of Georgia reimbursed him for the work. John offered to pay the State of Georgia and he would wait for his money until the check arrived from the State of Georgia. Your father then agreed to give John’s construction business the work instead of contracting directly with the local DNR office. 

    Richard was at the property with the heavy equipment operators. His work did not conform to any of the items discussed at our meetings. He was running paths to nowhere and wasting an enormous amount of money. I convinced your father to meet with me and tour the problems immediately while the necessary adjustments could be made. At the end of our tour on a horse cart the evening of the first day of work, he told me he had no real interest in the issues at hand. He told me that “It is all just turning dirt.”

     I tried having the DNR ranger come out and view the work. I was told that he needed a letter from your father before he would respond to my request. Your father was told of my conversation with DNR, and he refused to send the letter. It was at this juncture that I refused to be involved in the conservation project anymore. I refused to be involved in a shady deal with severe legal consequences. I wrote my concerns to your father. I have that email and all other correspondence between your father and myself over this whole nasty episode. After years of arduous work, we were sidelined again for the last time. 

     Instead of finishing the fire breaks a section at a time and doing a controlled burn, nothing was finished, and no controlled burns were accomplished. Our next-door neighbor completed all 900 acres of his area of responsibility while your father did not even ask for an inspection of the work. He did not even ask for a burn permit to be issued before submitting an invoice claiming the work was done. The work done by John and Richard did not conform to the written grant request your father submitted. Not only was the grant work not completed as written but your father diverted equipment to do personal work outside the scope of the grant. Once he colluded with these two men to go outside the contract as written, he felt obliged to keep both these men happy for the sake of his reputation.

     Our neighbor just completed another controlled burn of his entire 900 acres this spring in 2021. Your property has not been maintained and you let John and Richard off the hook for opening and maintaining the fire breaks before their departure. You missed another deadline for a controlled burn. The clock is ticking on this issue, and you are oblivious to the problem. As the property manager, you are responsible for the timely management of the fire safety issues involved. 

    While you were in negotiations last year, we asked you to get the work done before talking to them about another year of hunting. After writing to you, Richard only cut the areas that could be seen from Johnson Terrace. You continued harassing us to sign a new lease while letting them walk away and leave three years' worth of maintenance undone. The weeds are now over eight feet high. Everyone knew you were not going to put your field gear on and inspect the work involved. The conversation dragged on because you failed to inspect the property you claimed to manage. 

    You will be required to have all your fire breaks opened with heavy equipment prior to any controlled burn. You saw during your only visit that our fire breaks were clean, but DNR still ran their heavy equipment over the fire breaks anyway. You are not going to get another controlled burn accomplished without spending a lot of money to harrow your fire breaks after they are completed. Neither Richard nor John owns the equipment to do that work. John just wanted to get his subcontractors some work since his construction business was slow at the time. 

    The reason all this is important is because of the property tax consequences of failing to stay in conservancy. The last time I checked fifteen years ago, the 68 acres and your grandmother's house would have an annual tax obligation of $42,000 without the conservancy designation. The DNR inspections can revoke this designation and they can make your tax bill retroactive for ten years. In short, they can take your property unless you pay them the value of the property with penalty and interest added to the bill. Your father felt immune from these issues due to his position as a judge. You will be fighting to hold onto his good name if this issue is not addressed. 

    In addition to the tax consequences, you are in grave danger of facing criminal liability in the event of a fire on your property. I suggest you take a lesson from the collapse of the condominium complex in Florida. Everything was all right until the building came down. Once the building fell, a grand jury was impaneled to assess if any criminal conduct was involved in the death of those people. If a fire starts on your property from any source, you will be held responsible for the loss of life or property whether it is your family or others adversely effected. Your insurance carrier can refuse to pay all claims if there was gross negligence involved in the maintenance the property. John and Richard wanted you to shoot the messenger instead of you hearing the message. 

    I told you and your brother that your grandmother’s house is in grave danger. The high pines in the front and the deep woods in the rear of the house represent a deadly fire hazard to the house in the middle. The house does not have fire resistant tiles and it is going to go up very quickly. There is no source of water for firefighting since the pool has no water in it. There are no fire hydrants on Johnson Terrace to provide fire suppression in the quantity needed to save the house or the people inside.  Fire fighters will only enter a burning structure to save lives. 

     If a structure fire has no known occupants, they are going to stand by while the fire destroys the house. The DNR put in a firebreak behind your grandmother's house seven years ago. Richard placed a different fire break behind her house in the wrong place. The controlled burn was never done after the fire breaks were installed. The house is a disaster looking for a place to happen. You will be held accountable as the property manager if a catastrophe occurs. I have told both you, your brother, and your cousin about the danger you are imposing on your grandmother. In the event of a fire, she will be easy blinded by the smoke and parish due to your neglect.

      We have told everyone we were willing to keep the fire breaks clean from overhanging branches if the ground was safe for our horses. Richard and John wanted us to maintain the fire breaks and stay off them for four months a year. In the time when we are restricted from our lease, they wanted to keep us from taking in enough outside riders to feed our horses and dogs. I assured them that that we would not keep the fire breaks ready for their occasional hunting trips. Richard told me that they purposely put the fire breaks to nowhere until your father agreed to restrict us from the new fire breaks. I put this conversation in writing and sent it to your father. You put this same request to us just last year. We have the only real lease. Their demands were both unnecessary and ridiculous.    

 In my lease, we are only required to maintain the areas where we planted something. We have never planted anything. We are not required to cut anything anywhere. Our lease stated that we would spray chemicals to maintain the areas where we planted. We decided to clean and spray the pastures and areas where our horses graze and along Johnson Terrace. We are planning to clean up the areas in the rear in a timely fashion. We are only going to clean the areas that that are safe for the horses. We cut the pastures at our expense since Richard and John refused to do the cutting while they hunted for free. We will only spray the pastures and trails with a combination of three chemical concentrations purchased at Tractor Supply for this work. We take pride in the area where our horses eat, and our clients and rape victims visit us. We know you had no plans to do anything to keep the place from deteriorating. 

    I ask you to read this in earnest. We are not going to respond to your abusive behavior. We are the only ones doing any work. We have lost considerable time and money compensating for your failure to heed my advice. We are placing this year's rent in the mailbox in front of your grandmother’s house by 10am. I am not going to engage in a lengthy discussion with you about this topic. I suggest you take our hard-earned money and work on the issues that need your attention.
