I came across this story on a couple of outlets over the weekend and the more I hear about this story the angrier I get. Apparently the attorney for convicted child molester Patrick David Rojas has filed a lawsuit against the victim’s mother, Danielle Schneider of Tacoma, for defamation, defamation by implication,and invasion of privacy because she has been posting about Patrick and his dysfunctional family on her blog. Jairus and Patrick Rojas are claiming that the blog has caused “loss of employment and that they have suffered other financial and professional harm.” Apparently the Rojas family doesn’t consider the fact that their pedophile son might have caused them harm in any way. Of course they raised him to be that way so I guess they see nothing wrong with the behavior.
Here’s a recap of the who story, as I understand it (all of the details may not be 100% correct but you can check out the links at the end of the story for more info.
In January of 2007 the family of the victim, an 11-year-old girl, discovered that she had been sexually violated by their pastor’s adult son, 22-year-old Patrick David Rojas. They reported the crime and after an investigation and subsequent arrest Rojas took a plea deal. He ended up serving only 10 days in jail along with two years of probation.
Here’s part of the problem. The offender’s parent’s, Kathy and Eddie Rojas, both knew about Patrick’s sick needs, as did his brother Jairus Rojas. A couple of elders at the Peninsula Household of Faith Community Church in Port Orchard, Washington also knew about the details of the crimes but they never bothered to report any of the information they knew to detectives until AFTER the plea deal was in place. One of these so-called Christian hypocrites actually allegedly suggested to the sheriff that Patrick’s behavior were innocent and “just the wrong age and wrong place”. Again, the little girl was 11 and Patrick Rojas was 22. Wrong age and place? As far as I am concerned that makes Jim Cameron (the elder who made that statement to the sheriff) just another fucking douchebag who supports a church which overlooks child molesting bastards.
From a post back in 2009 at the blog of the victim’s parents,
Patrick D. Rojas is a convicted level 2 sex offender living in Port Orchard, Washington with his brother Jairus. Patrick has a total of 6 minor victims that we know of (age ranging from 18mo. -11yrs old), he has admitted to sexual acts with dogs, peeping in on women and children in bathrooms, pornography, consensual incest with another adult sibling. He is a danger to all adolescent children and a sexual predator of convenience.
In August of 2007 Eddie and Kathy Rojas, the parents of the pedophile, disappeared and took ten of their children with them, ostensibly to avoid having their children questions by the state about alleged sex crimes perpetrated on them by their brother Patrick.
In 2008 a warrant was issued for the arrest of Francis Edward (Eddie) Rojas for witness tampering. The family lived in Israel for a while and now apparently they are somewhere in the UK.
The lawsuit continues. Schneider offered to take the site down if Rojas would drop the lawsuit but he refused to drop the case. The family needs our financial help in order to keep paying the attorney who is representing them in the lawsuit. You can make donations in one of two ways. If you are interested in helping them out head over to this link. You can also go over to their Facebook page.
Considering that the assholes at Westboro Baptist Church can walk around (legally) with “God Hates Fags” signs I think there is a pretty good chance that the Schneider family will beat this.
