"Reject Those Voices That Tell You to Be Cynical About the Government"

This is a two year old story-- it's coming out now because until recently, the dramatic video had been suppressed.

This woman was sexually assaulted and then threatened with arrest (and the suggestion her kid would be taken from her) if she continued saying she'd been sexually assaulted.

According to internal court documents, as Contreras was leaving, family court marshal Ron Fox ordered her into a waiting room for an unexplained drug search.

Contreras said Fox touched her buttocks, breast, and ordered her to lift up her shirt. A later internal investigation by Clark County courts validated her claims. Contreras went back into the same courtroom and told hearing master Patricia Donninger that her requests to have a female marshal handle the search were ignored.

Oh and the judge did nothing. Just sat there. And she's continued to sit on the bench since.

The marshal has since been fired.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Maybe the worst part is when she's forced, under threat of arrest and maybe of having her kid taken from her, to tell lies in court-- specifically, recanting her first truthful accusation.
