While working at Stanford Financial Group, Plaintiff met and became men with Maria Raquel Rivas who also worked in the accounting department there. I February of 2007, Rivas called and sent Plaintiff an email at work claiming that he younger child had been kidnapped and was missing from school. As any good frien would do, Plaintiff offered to drive to the school and help Rivas deal with this issue. A Plaintiff arrived at the school that afternoon, Rivas claimed that the police had found he son and he was safe and sound. Soon thereafter, Rivas came to Plaintiffs home and th relationship briefly turned intimate.

12. One night while Plaintiff was sleeping at his home, he woke up at about 3 :00 AM only to find Rivas taking pictures and digging inside of his closet with all of Plaintiff's personal documents on the floor. These documents included a letter and records Plaintiff had obtained from the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) after a state trooper there had fabricated or made false and defamatory statements against Plaintiff causing Plaintiff tc be rejected for a job as state trooper, after Plaintiff was already voted best qualified for the job by the New Jersey State Police themselves. Specifically, these false an defamatory statements included the following: (1) that Plaintiff committed and wa convicted of insurance fraud in Florida and New York (2) that Plaintiff had committe

and was convicted of social security fraud (3) that Plaintiff committed and was convicte

of domestic spousal abuse, and (4) that Plaintiff was an illegal alien and trouble maker. 11 12 13
14

Immediately thereafter this incident, Plaintiff asked Rivas to leave his home and never t return. However, not more than a few hours later, Rivas returned and refused to leave. Facing no other choice, Plaintiff was forced to call the police and had Rivas remove from his home. Later that day, both the local police and the school where Rivas's so attended informed Plaintiff that they had absolutely no records that Rivas's son was eve kidnapped or missing from his school as Rivas had claimed earlier, and the whol kidnapping claim was made up by Rivas against her own son as a hoax to gain sympathy. Realizing how dangerous a person Rivas was, Plaintiff decided to end or ceased al formed of communications or contacts with Rivas at that point. 13. Weeks later, Rivas was fired from Stanford Financial Group for making false allegation against another co-worker in the accounting department, and later demanded that Plaintif give her $3000 for an abortion because she was pregnant for Plaintiff. When Plaintif refused to give Rivas the money for the abortion, she then launched a massive campaig of stalking, harassment, and defamation of plaintiff. These included several instances

14. Before the child was born, Rivas contacted Plaintiff and asked him if he could help pa the hospital delivery bill, and Plaintiff paid the entire bill in full. After the child was born, Plaintiff himself decided to go to the Texas Office of the Attorney General's (OAG) t start making child support payment towards the child. However, following the chil support agreement, Rivas began to deny Plaintiff his visitation rights and ofte disappeared when it came time for Plaintiff to pick up the child. She used the child as

tool to manipulate Plaintiff and keep Plaintiff's girlfriend away from the baby.

Meanwhile, the few times Plaintiff was able to reach Rivas and pick up the child, ther 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 appeared noticeable signs of abuse or neglect on the child. In early of 2009, Plainti received both a disturbing phone call and a text message from Rivas, in which sh (herself) claimed to be a danger to the child and needed professional help. Feelin helpless and concerned, Plaintiff had no other choice at this point but to call the polic and CPS to have them go to Rivas's home and check on the child. After this incident, Rivas threatened Plaintiff that she was once again going to Plaintiff's new job (DA' Office) and to the Texas OAG to defame Plaintiff, and then travel to New Jersey, wher she knew Plaintiff was seeking justice in the Courts against the NJSP for defamation, i order to teach Plaintiff a lesson. Not long after Rivas made this threat, all of Plaintiff' co-workers at the District Attorney's Office began to scorn and ridicule him, and hel Plaintiff in complete contempt or categorically refused to associate with Plaintiff as i Plaintiffhad some sort of loathsome disease. 15. In addition, every time Plaintiff would go to the Child Support Office to obtain help i enforcing the visitation agreement, the workers there began to ridicule and scorn Plaintiff, exclaiming among themselves and in Spanish that the "criminal is here, the criminal i outside." Much worse, Plaintiff even hired a lawyer (Sylvia Mintz) there to help hi obtain custody of his child. After Rivas told the lawyer that Plaintiff was a criminal an

fugitive from New York and Florida who was convicted of fraud and domestic abuse all over the place, the lawyer stole Plaintiff's $1000 deposit and fled with Plaintiff's money, refusing to represent Plaintiff. Although Plaintiff became emotionally and mentall drained and distressed by these abusive and cruel treatments of his colleagues and thes other people towards him, Plaintiff continued to survive and perform or produce qualit work for the Harris County District Attorney's Office. 16. On January 4, 2011, Plaintiff was quietly sitting in his 5th Floor office at the Harri County District Attorney's Office performing his work when First Assistant Distric Attorney, Jim Leitner, sent Plaintiff an email asking Plaintiff to report to his (Leitner

office in order to interview Plaintiff as part of an internal complaint or investigatio 10 involving wicked, corrupt, prosecutorial bias or favoritism,
11

and other pervasive act

committed by his prosecutors and investigators while working for the Harris Count District Attorney's Office. During this interview, Mr. Leitner ordered Plaintiff to revea to him the names of the prosecutors and investigators who were present and gave Plainti a "sex toy" (pENISIDICK) at a prior office party in front of a multitude of other co workers, and forced Plaintiff to hold the PENISIDICK in the air while they took picture and laughed. Facing no other choice, Plaintiff told Mr. Leitner the names prosecutors and investigators who gave him the PENISIDICK at that office party. 17. During this same interview, Mr. Leitner also became aware of another incident of sexua harassment or misconduct, which occurred in September 2010, whereby his prosecutor and investigators unlawfully intercepted one of Plaintiff's text messages and sent graphic sexual act (pENISNAGINA) to Plaintiff's girlfriend in Arizona, as retaliation 0 punishment for Plaintiff's refusal to return the sex toy (pENISIDICK) gift they had give Plaintiff at the office party. These prosecutors and investigators had been asking Plaintif to return the DICKIPENIS since about May of 2009 or about the same time Rivas ha threatened Plaintiff she would go to his new job (DA's Office). But, each time the asked, Plaintiff refused to return the DICKIPENIS. In the meantime, Plaintiff was bein

Further, Mr. Leitner also became aware that his prosecutors an investigators, with the help of other law enforcement agencies and private companies, also placed a GPS device in Plaintiff's brakes system causing it to explode in the middl of a Houston Highway costing about $875 to repair, as well as placing another GP device in Plaintiff's key ring allowing them to monitor all of Plaintiff's movements i hope to discover the location of the DICKIPENIS. Plaintiff was forced to call 911 twic and file two POLICE complaints/reports (#10218363 & #16027601O-A) with th HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT (HPD) in Harris County Texas against them an Maria Raquel Rivas. 19.

10
investigators had already been working together with the United States Postal Service

(USPS) inspectors, the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) investigators, the IRS, and som 12 New York City (NYC) investigators during the past two years to follow plaintiff aroun and intercept all of Plaintiff's emails, personal accounts, postal service mails, and phon communications in order to develop a comprehensive profile on Plaintiff, his family, an friends. In addition, Plaintiff was already surrounded by their spies or crawlers in hi apartment complex where he lived in Houston, and they were ready to send red flags t these companies mentioned above to make sure that all of Plaintiff's applications an claims are denied and that Plaintiff never works again in this country or anywhere else. 21. Further, they made it clear that they already had people working for them inside th Texas Attorney General's Office (OAG) and the major banks around the country wh were ready to make sure that Plaintiff never gets custody of his children, and that Plainti passport and driver's license would get revoked or suspended for being a deadbeat dad 0 for not paying child support; and that they would use their internal database to send fals financial or credit information to the major Credit Bureaus in order to ruin Plaintiff' credit. Therefore, if Plaintiff did not return the DICKIPENIS as requested, they woul unleash all of these investigators, bankers, and federal agents or inspectors to go aft Plaintiff to teach him a lesson and destroy him completely or finish him off.

However, Plaintiff refused to return the actual DICKIPENIS, and was forced or coerced to resign from his $72,OOO/year job as a result. 23.

republication also states "when Gaston sued, the State Police introduced a comprehensiv background investigation file. It showed the court exactly why it had concluded Gasto was not trooper material-including extensive interviews that revealed spousal abuse." I was at that point that Plaintiff finally realized for the first time that Maria Raquel Riva has been the original source and cause of all his misery during the past two years. Sh was the only one in Texas who knew of that letter and had stolen it along with othe Plaintiff's documents from Plaintiff's home earlier when Plaintiff had called the police t remove her from his home. At this point, it also became clear that Getting Plaintiff to los

Worse, this article also contains an automatic Link, which allows (Rivas & others) user to share or send an email copy to another email user with just a simple click, therefor facilitating its multiplication and the spreading of the falsehood against Plaintiff muc more quickly. As Rivas and her counterparts in Houston intensified their acts of stalking, hacking, harassment, threats, intimidation, and other crimes against Plaintiff, Rivas als revealed to Plaintiff for the first time that it is indeed the NJSP, the IRS, the NYC, an the USPS investigators or inspectors or other federal agents who forced her to participat in committing these crimes against Plaintiff to teach Plaintiff a lesson, simply because 0 Plaintiff's past lawsuits or legal complaints against all of them or because Plaintiff ha dared to sue them in the past. As a result, Plaintiff finally decided to discretely evade an flee his apartment in Houston at 4:00 AM, fearing for his personal safety. In addition, Plaintiff has been forced to file for bankruptcy, quit law school after one year of study, and spent his last few weeks in Houston living and sleeping in his car and the streets.
