(My ex was awarded our 3 children, both vehicles, our home and even our dog.) I was a stay at home mother that took care of her family. I had zero income. 35 days after our divorce was finalized , i would be evicted. At the age of 42, I found myself homeless. I ended up meeting a friend whom I moved in with. Todd resided at the Washington county fairgrounds in Marietta, Ohio. Upon moving into the fairgrounds one of my landlords started to sexually harass me. He would send videos to me of him touching himself and he would make me a sexual proposal . When I declined his offer , my life would forever be changed. Immediately, he started harassing me. Every time I will leave my home , he would be in his truck , parked right across from my home , staring daggers at me. He then illegally shut off my water and my electric for over 4 months. He vandalized my home, cut my wires for hook up and would tell lies about me and would spread those lies to my neighbors and the rest of the tenants. After returning home on one day, my trailer had been moved away from the rest of the tenants. I was left out in the middle of a field with no water or electric from Sept. 1- December 24. However, the worse was yet to come… He would enlist one of his good friends, (my public defender would find this out) an Ohio state highway patrol officer to join in on the harassment against me. On 9/9/2018 a known Police Officer (good friends with my ex husband and I worked for this officer’s brother at the church we all attended) this officer would pull me over (7 blocks after he stated that I I ran a red light.) and falsify his report on me. Despite submitting to 3 breathalyzer tests (1st test was invalid. The next 2 tests both were 0.00. ) The officer would record that I refused, he stated that I refused all tests. I had 3 occupants that watched me comply to everything that was asked of me to do. I had no reason not to comply. I have my BAC results of that night.) he would charge me with 2 OVI’s and running a red light. I would then comply to a 50 min sobriety test that he failed me on. I would be arrested and my car was impounded. (They had my car impounded from 9/9/2018-5/3/2022). <br> <br>My case would go proceed to 10/31/2019 when a judge dismissed my charges and released my vehicle back to me. I take the signed document from the judge to the Impounding yard. The owners wife refused to release my vehicle to me even after presenting court documents. In the meantime, I call my public defender explaining to him what had occurred. Ray asked me to meet with him in his office on December 23, 2019. My roommate, Todd would take me to my attorneys office and would sit in with me and listen to everything that was said that very day. <br> <br>Christmas and New Years came and went . . I started to reach out to my attorney after the holidays was over. And I couldn’t seem to get I touch with him. I would call his office, leave messages with his secretaries, call his cell phone. I would email him and I even tried texting him. Nothing. No response. It wasn’t until March when I went to the court house, and requested my records, that I would find anything out. <br> <br>In Dec. 23,2019 after I had met with Ray, he dismissed himself as my attorney . Never once notifying me. I also saw in my file, that these charges the judge had just dismissed , I was being indicted on again. My indictment would list a certain medication that I had been prescribed around the same time I had been pulled over . This medication is a medication I have been prescribed since I was around 6-7 years old . This medication is for an anxiety disorder that I have been diagnosed with having since I was 5 years old. It is called episodic paroxysmal anxiety and another form of anxiety called G.A.D. (Generalized anxiety disorder, ) These anxiety disorders will cause me to have severe panic attacks. These attacks have left me hospitalized on several occasions throughout my life. <br> <br>I then continue reading my records. I was being indicted again on the same exact charge from 9/9/2018 that had just been dismissed!! The assistant Prosecutor would take it upon himself without a subpoena or a warrant from the judge, or any administrative permission to do (no authority to do either according to the distinctive guidelines of the Department of health and human services.) and obtain my personal health information. He would then persuade a jury to indict me on this prescription medication without any urine or blood ever being taken from me. I would serve from October 7,2021- February 13, 2022 incarcerated for this prescription medication. (That I was prescribed by more than one doctor over the course of my life. ) <br> <br>The health insurance, portability and accountability act of 1996 (HIPAA) public law 104-191 was enacted on August 21, 1996 . Sections 261 through 264 of HIPAA require the secretary of HHS to publicize standards for the electronic exchange, privacy and security of health information . In conjunction with HIPAA privacy rule, where it establishes national standards to protect individuals, medical records, and other individually, identical, health information, (collectively defined as protected health information) and applies to health, healthcare, clearing houses, and those healthcare providers. . This individual who requested my information with my pharmacy without anything from a judge, would maliciously not safeguard my personal information. (This was due to retaliation because I made a complaint with the Ohio disciplinary board regarding his unethical conduct, yet he continued being the prosecutor in this bogus charge) <br> <br>Since December, 19,20219. I have had four checking accounts, five credit cards, a 1400 $ stimulus check, a chase Visa Amazon credit card from synchrony bank taken from my locked mailbox,unknown individuals using my Social Security number, and committing felonies in Texas that used my Social Security number to commit crimes. I have lenders that are reporting that Iam applying for credit card that I’m not responsible for. I have had 6 data breaches. The vehicle that the judge had released to me, the state made me forfeit my rights to. I have spent over 80,000 in attorney fees . I was forced to take from a 401 K and then, I was required to pay over 7,000$ as a result of the early distribution and penalties. I had over 7,000$ court fines and costs, a 10 year licenses suspension, 2 years probation and I was incarcerated from 10/7/2021-2/14/2022. <br> <br>Unfortunately, this does involve 2 states. I was forced to move as a result of the harassment and retaliation. In combination of, the defamation of character. <br> <br>Immediately after moving from Ohio-WV is when I first started to experience the ramifications of this disclosure. All of my checking accounts, all of my credit cards and all my financial information was affected along with 6 different data breaches that would release my Health information Disability code, my name, my mailing address, my email address, all of my insurance information, My Social Security number, My date of birth, etc… <br> <br> <br>Now I’m without funds in order to hire an attorney And even if I could hire an attorney, most attorneys will not Take my case as a result of the individual being an assistant district attorney.. I have tried Legal Aid in both Ohio and West Virginia. I have tried six bar associations in Ohio, several in West Virginia, I have contacted the Ohio, Attorney General Office, and the West Virginia attorneys General Office, I have contacted my state representative and even my governor. In combination with Ohio. They won’t even look at my information without representation . I am 49 years old. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life? How am I supposed to get a job if I don’t have a vehicle how am I supposed to get a vehicle if I don’t have a job and how am I supposed to get a job? If every time they do background checks on me and accurate information pops up on my record ?? How is One supposed to get on With their life ? <br> <br>Current day, the fraud is still happening. It’s been occurring since December 19, 2019. Yesterday, I had my credit card company call me <br>And ask me if I had applied with their company for a credit card. I had not. <br> <br>I have been denied my due process. I have been , Discrimination against as a result of my disability. This is against both federal and state laws what is being done to me. A direct invasion of privacy, along with unethical behavior on the officer and both judges , also A Brady act violation. <br> <br>I would like to take my case to the Southern district of West Virginia out of Charleston Wv. The attorney I have for my data breaches is now not taking any of my phone calls or messages. This nightmare just won’t ever end. This is out of retaliation for getting some of the judicial workers subpoenaed to the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio disciplinary counsel for their unethical behavior . <br> <br>I just found out yesterday, that as a result of Ohio extracting me to West Virginia I now have a fugitive from justice charge on my record, which cannot ever be expunged. I am now a felon as a result of these bogus charges. I had planned on running for city council. I can no longer do that. <br> <br>Would <br>you please help me? <br> <br>Twila Martin <br>3045806438 <br>3800 4th Ave B <br>Vienna, WV 26105 <br> <br> <br>
