Judith K. Johnson
The following
article comes from an in-depth investigation regarding severe accusations
made against Judith Johnson, a 56 year old resident of Medford, Oregon.
The complaints
and accusations contained herein have been verified by the US~Observer
as legit and the truthfulness of the following allegations are undeniable.
The publication of this article is simply the US~Observer’s (and
three damaged husbands) way of stopping a bad individual from continuing
her destructive behavior and to stop the further victimization of innocent
individuals. The following statements were taken directly from statements
made by three of Judith Johnson’s past husbands, all of whom are
concerned that she not continue her practice of victimizing in the future.
Medford,
Oregon – If you are an available male and you see this
woman, walk away. Better yet, run away. Judith Johnson is definitely
not who she appears to be. On the surface she comes across as a caring
Christian lady. Most people never see the person she really is. She
has reportedly told a family member that her goal in life is to take
advantage of as many men as she possibly can, and try to ruin them in
the process. We are aware of at least three men she has taken advantage
of.
They say everyone
should be good at something. According to her ex-husbands she is an
accomplished liar. Once you have caught her at it, she reportedly justifies
it by saying “everyone lies.” She can be very convincing.
According to eye witnesses, she will say and do whatever it takes to
convince a man (victim) that she truly cares about him (even loves him).
This is part of her plan. Once she convinces him that she would like
to spend the rest of her life with him, he is headed for the worst nightmare
of his life. From the moment she says, “I do,” she is planning
how she is going to take over. To her the marriage license is a license
to steal. Once married, she no longer has to lie about caring for him.
She does all she can to drain him financially and emotionally. She treats
him like he is not worthy of her.
When she left her
first husband, she took virtually everything. He came home to a house
that was nearly empty. She left little too nothing behind. She even
took things that had been in his family for generations. When he checked,
he found out she had removed every cent from his bank accounts. This
had a long term effect on his credit, and his ability to make a living.
She tried to ruin him.
Her second victim
was a widower with two young boys. Before they were married she told
him he was a wonderful man and a very good father. After the marriage,
he was not worthy of her and he did not discipline his children harshly
enough. He tried to do everything he could to make her happy. When they
combined households, he had to get rid of any items he had in order
to make room (in his home) for her stuff. He should have realized there
was something wrong with her when she demanded he remove some photo
albums of his children and his former wife (she had died). Not many
people are so insecure they are intimidated by someone who is dead.
She immediately took over his checkbook.
Not long after
they were married he came home to find all of his things had been moved
into the spare bedroom. This was his room for the remainder of the marriage.
For almost three
years she made him jump through hoops to try to make the marriage work.
All the while she was planning to leave. Before she left, she got him
to buy her a new car and make the down-payment on a new home. Once again,
when she left she took not only her stuff, but some of his stuff, including
the photo albums she demanded he remove from the house. He thought he
had them well hidden in the rafters of the garage. Obviously she took
some items just to hurt him.
With her most recent
and 3rd victim, the pattern continued. She not only pretended to care
about him, she went out of her way to be nice to his friends. Before
they were married, she threw a surprise birthday party and invited all
of his friends. She not only led him to believe that she was a kind,
caring, Christian lady, she mislead his friends into thinking she was
something she is not. She even pretended to be interested in his hobby
(golf) until the knot was tied. She pretended to care right up until
they were married. From that day on she treated him like he was not
worthy to be in the same room with her. After the marriage he was not
allowed to invite his friends over to visit. Birthdays and anniversaries
were no longer occasions to be celebrated.
Ironically he told her that the most important thing to him was that
people are honest with each other. She said being honest was important
to her as well….
According to a
highly credible source, she informed a family member that the only reason
she married him was because she knew he had some money and she was going
to get it before she left. When they merged households he had to get
rid of his refrigerator, dinning room set, bedroom set, living room
furniture, washer and dryer, and many other items (dishes, kitchen items,
etc.) because she demanded that her stuff be kept.
She told a friend
that she was upset that he golfed because it took away time when he
should be working to make more money to spend on her.
She would act like
everything was fine when they were out in public and visiting with his
friends. Once they were back at home, she would put down his friends.
He paid all the bills while she tucked her cash away in preparation
for the profitable upcoming divorce. The only thing they shared was
the space in the house.
Not long into the
marriage she moved all her stuff into the spare bedroom and she spent
most of her time there, unlike her practice of cuddling in the same
bed prior to marriage. In spite of spending nearly all his money on
her, she was never happy. After nearly three years she informed him
she was leaving. She said she had never loved him. She admitted she
had only said she loved him to get him to marry her. She had been planning
on leaving him since before they were married. She wanted to know how
much money he was going to give her to leave. He asked her why she stayed
as long as she did if she did not love him. She said she had to in order
to make her plan work. She moved out while he was at work. She took
all of her stuff and many of his things. Some of the things included
items that had been in his family for generations.
She had been working
and supporting herself before they were ever married. In the divorce,
she filed for alimony and because this victim’s attorney did not
do his job properly she got it. She had been a hair dresser for 36 years.
Her normal work schedule was 3 ½ days each week. In her business,
most of her clients pay her in cash. It is highly doubtful she ever
reports all of her income.
In court, under
oath, she swore (before God) she was working 6 days a week and making
less money than when she was working 3 ½ days a week. She admitted
she had not lost any clients and could not explain why she was making
less money than when she was working 3 ½ days a week. Based on
her claims, she was making less than $10 per hour. Based on her lies,
she is currently receiving $400.00 per-month alimony.
She is now reportedly trying to get ½ the value of his house
and ½ of his retirement. In this marriage Judith insisted that
her newest victim sign a prenuptial agreement. We are told that her
father is elderly and wealthy and she didn’t want her current
husband to be able to obtain any of the father’s assets in case
her father died. Well, father is still alive as this divorce is in its
final stages, a ruling has been made that the prenuptial agreement was
invalid (due to time restraints), so what would a bad person do? Obviously
go after any assets within sight, even though the marriage (31/2 years)
was absolutely a “short term marriage” under Oregon law.
In a short term marriage both people are to leave the marriage with
the assets they brought into the marriage, which would mean that any
attempt by Judith or her attorney to pull off this deceptive move should
fall under Oregon’s “frivolous lawsuit” statutes.
The house was his
before the marriage. He offered to let her put some money into the house
to change the registration, she refused and said what money she had
was hers alone which she planned to set aside “in case the marriage
did not work” so she would have money for a down payment on a
home. She lived in the home for less than three years without paying
anything to live there.
She spends or “rat-holes”
all the money she makes. She gets ahead in life by taking advantage
of men and taking as much as she can from them. Although it is a fact
that Oregon is a “no fault divorce state,” no fault does
not give anyone the license to commit fraud.
Webster defines
fraud as: Intentional deception to cause a person to give up something
of value or to surrender a legal right. A person who deceives or is
not what they pretend to be.
Judith Johnson has obviously committed fraud against these men by intentionally
deceiving them in order to “take property” from them. She
has also committed fraud against the courts in order to “take
property” in the form of support.
Her first husband
is willing to testify as to her pattern of behavior. Her second husband
is willing to testify as well. Several others have volunteered to testify
and possibly close family members will lend damning testimony should
the need arise.
This obvious “Two
Legged Black Widow” should not be allowed to continue ruining
the lives of decent hard working men who have been naïve enough
to fall into her web. She should change her ways, apologize and start
being the “Christian” lady she portrays, part of the time.
Anyone
with further information on Judith Johnson should contact the US~Observer
at 541-474-7885. Stay tuned; if Judith continues her pattern of deceit
and abuse, and/or she tries to refute these facts, we will have plenty
more to write about, and much more at our disposal to disclose…
