Patrick O'Neil Guilty of Rape?
|
Washington
State – The US~Observer published an article in our
last edition titled, “Wrestling Champ O’Neil – Serial
Rapist? Innocent Referee in Prison”. Our readership can read
this article at usobserver.com or by simply doing a Google search on
the title.
I expected to see fireworks
once this sensational, alarming blockbuster was published, but the
only response was dead silence. I did receive
numerous complaints on Brian Garvie’s Attorney John Crowley of
Seattle, WA. The accusations related to his failure to adequately represent
his clients. The complaints received were nearly identical to the complaints
that Garvie and his father have related to me.
I also received numerous
complaints regarding false prosecutions conducted by Snohomish County,
WA District Attorney Mark Roe, but not one word
from this alleged corrupt prosecutor himself. This is very telling,
given the huge amount of evidence we published about WA State Wrestling
Champion Patrick O’Neil raping his teammates and others. Roe’s
silence was totally expected, because he was the prosecutor who conducted
the manufactured criminal case against Brian Garvie, placing the innocent
wrestling referee in prison on a possible life sentence.
In my prior article on this
case I told my readership, “In our
next edition I am going to publish much more on this story. If people
don’t come forward and if Snohomish County District Attorney
Mark Roe fails to act, I intend to expose more facts. I will also name
everyone involved…” People didn’t come forward and
DA Mark Roe has failed to act on the valid evidence contained in that
article, so I’ll get with the program.
On October 14, 2013 I called
and spoke with Kelly Lonsdale, who is Michael Lonsdale’s father. I informed him that I had received
credible evidence that Patrick O’Neil raped or molested his son
Michael when they were wrestling teammates, spending nights together
during wrestling tournaments. Mr. Lonsdale was shocked at this information
and maybe a bit offended, but he stated he would speak with his son
about the accusations. I naively expected him to call me back and help
me hold Patrick O’Neil accountable after he spoke with Michael.
I obviously expected Michael to tell him the truth, but to date I haven’t
heard one word from the Lonsdales.

On October 14, 2013 I also
called Dave Gilbertson who is the father of Johnny Gilbertson. He
was shocked as well, but just like Lonsdale,
he stated he would question his son. I have credible witnesses who
have stated that Patrick O’Neil raped and attempted to rape Johnny
Gilbertson on more than one occasion when they were wrestling teammates,
spending nights together during wrestling tournaments.
Further, and as I reported
in my original article on this case, I have other teammates of O’Neil
who claim that he raped them or attempted to rape them. I agreed
to withhold their names because of
their honesty and because the issue of a young male raping another
young male is a filthy subject to anyone with morals.

Other teammates of Patrick
O’Neil who were allegedly raped or
molested include JD Goodrich, Nathan Decker, Tyson Metz, Josh Monson,
Alex Pellegrini, Chace Smith Trent Magneson and Shane Hunt.
I have very believable accusations
that O’Neil allegedly claimed
he raped 150-250 male individuals and I intend to name more of them
in my next article on the perverse allegations against WA Wrestling
Champion Patrick O’Neil.
I can understand that this
article and the accusations are degrading, however, an innocent,
former wrestling referee has been in prison going
on 9 long years now and I would expect he is actually in for the rest
of his life. The people that have been allegedly victimized by Patrick
O’Neil need to step forward and start demanding justice for Brian
Garvie, instead of attempting to hide from the alleged criminal acts
that they had no control over.
No good and decent person could ever allow an innocent man to sit
in prison for life, while an alleged criminal rapist maintains his
freedom and his ability to possibly rape others. For all those who
think these issues will just go away, I have news for you; I am going
to continue turning up the heat until those involved are forced to
come forward.
Anyone with
information on the alleged rapes and molestation by Washington
State Wrestling
Champion Patrick O’Neil, the alleged claims of
ineffective assistance of counsel by Attorney John Crowley or corruption
involving Snohomish County, WA District Attorney Mark Roe are urged
