George doesn’t just admit his own wrongdoing
in this letter; he acknowledges his
daughter's complicity regarding Niner's
missing property on page 4:
“I want them back, thru Name Redacted
cooperation I have some of your item’s we
can make a trade I’ll tell Det. Name
Redacted we worked it out.”
George generously discounted the sum of his
"ransome" demand and even
offered terms. His “ransome” attempt failed though
primarily because George does not yet comprehend that
his property was sold at Sheriff’s Sale.
It is understandable why Judge Daniele
ordered both George and his daughter to
return Niner's property. This property
included mementos, household items and
expensive tools.
Securing the property for a “ransome”
attempt may have suited George but it proved
problematic for his daughter.
She
and Niner had defaulted on a personal loan and a
judgment was obtained. Given that Niner no longer
had property, the burden of the debt fell to Ms. Mauger.
The creditor filed for an Execution Sale at her new
residence, (the rental home with the outhouse) and
property was levied including George’s favorite tan
chair.
She
and her new boyfriend soon failed to pay the rent and
she decided against that relationship and moved just
days prior to the Execution Sale. Unfortunately,
on the day of the sale the Constable discovered the
levied property missing. That is a crime and George's
daughter was arrested on May 08, 2008 and charged with
Defrauding A Secured Creditor. To avoid jail, she
signed an agreement to repay the judgment and agreed to
avoid any other criminal activity. Ms. Mauger's
mother sent a check for the full amount, $6,200.05 and
Ms. Mauger pled Guilty to Disorderly Conduct and
received a fine.
| In
the spring of 2008, Niner unwisely reconciled with Ms.
Mauger and lived with her and their daughter for a time
in an apartment in Pottstown. On April 15, Ms.
Mauger withdrew her Protection Order against Niner.
Ms. Mauger wanted a dog and soon a Rottweiler named
Dozer joined the household.
By
June, Ms. Mauger was dissatisfied with the living
arrangements and she and her mother wrote letters to
Judge Daniele with the hope of relocating Ms. Mauger and
her child to South Carolina. |
 |
On
June 20, Niner moved most, but not all of his belongings from the
apartment. Ms. Mauger's Durango had been
repossessed so the following day she imposed on Niner to
drive her to a check up after an abortion which we
believe is her second such procedure. It is undetermined
if the child was conceived with Niner or some other
partner.
Ms. Mauger filed a request to relocate to South Carolina
to reside with her mother. A hearing on the matter
was scheduled for June 23. Ms. Mauger's mother
attended the hearing during which Ms. Mauger explained
her desire to attend school in SC. Judge Daniele
denied the relocation request, perhaps considering that
Ms. Mauger could pursue schooling if she wished in
Pennsylvania.
George's pet name for his daughter is "Dink,"
& his
ex-wife's pet name for their daughter is Sweetpea.
Sweetpea's pet name for her mother is Mommy Pea.
If only Mommy Pea had been able to raise & handle
Sweetpea just a few years earlier, she wouldn't have
kicked her out - sending her daughter back to live with
George in PA, and Sweetpea wouldn't now be stuck in
the state. We have no doubt that Mommy Pea adores
her grandchild, perhaps nicknamed Lil' Sweetpea but the
daughter & granddaughter pretty much come as a package
deal. Mommy Pea & Sweetpea have more recently demonstrated
that they can successfully visit together for a period
of days, but there is nothing to indicate they could
successfully reside together in the same household.
Mommy Pea & Sweetpea sobbed together in the
courtroom after the ruling.
Two days later, Ms. Mauger was issued a citation for
harassing Niner. She was found Guilty by Trial on
December 9 and received a fine.
On
July 7, Ms. Mauger made a criminal complaint of
Harassment against Niner. The case was later
Dismissed in court.
On
July 20, Niner enjoyed his last visitation day with his
daughter as it would be many weeks before he could again
visit with his child.
Ms. Mauger informed Niner and his attorney that she and
her daughter would be leaving the state on July 23 to
attend her brothers wedding, returning August 3.
Ms. Mauger remains in town and on July 24 phones the
police claiming that Niner was banging on her door and
had broken a window. No charges were filed.
|
On
August 2, George, his granddaughter and daughter attended
the wedding of his son in Asheville, NC. George
did not smile likely due to several missing teeth. On
August 6, Niner sends a delightful video via cell phone to Ms. Mauger
of their daughter running and playing in the hallway.
On
August 7, Ms. Mauger makes a report to the police
claiming that Niner is harassing her.
|

As
you may recall from the Mat Lunkhead chapter, Ms. Mauger
had threatened to accuse Niner of sexual abuse if
she had problems with him. The following, will
come as no surprise.
On
August 8, Ms. Mauger made good on her earlier threat and
she and George went to the police to file a complaint
involving the alleged sexual abuse of the child.
Ms. Mauger showed the video to the police. Her
interpretation of her daughter's long eyelashes and rosy
cheeks was the claim that Niner had applied makeup to
the child. She also showed the police a cell phone
image of herself that she claimed was altered. The
police instructed Ms. Mauger to quickly have her child
examined by a physician.
George and his daughter left the police station in favor
of stalking Niner. Niner spotted the two following
him. He stopped at a tavern to have drinks with
friends. George and his daughter circled the block
several times and parked nearby. Given the length
of time the duo devoted to watching his activities he
decided to phone the police. Ms. Mauger was issued
a citation for Harassment and was later found Guilty by
Trial and fined.
On
August 10, Ms. Mauger obtains another Protection Order
From Abuse against Niner. The PFA prevents him
from seeing his daughter.
During August, Officer Meyers contacts Ms. Mauger
numerous times to inquire about the status of the
examination she was instructed to obtain for her
daughter. Ms. Mauger neglects to return his phone
calls.
Ms. Mauger has a few learning disabilities and is
habitually unable to complete tasks. She's very
good at starting things but fails on the follow thru.
Many weeks passed before a physician ever examined the
child.
What Ms. Mauger did not consider, is that the last
contact Niner had with his child was July 20, nineteen
days prior to her complaint. George accompanied his daughter to
the police station so we're certain this half-baked plan
was conceived and executed by this deficient duo.
On
or about August 29, the investigation of sexual abuse
was closed and no charges were filed.
There is no generous way to view Ms. Mauger's actions.
She either sincerely suspected sexual abuse, yet for
many weeks neglected to have her child examined or more
likely, she falsely accused the father's child of sexual
abuse and avoided and postponed an examination which
would not support her charge. It must have come as
quite a surprise to Ms. Mauger that the police would
want to gather actual evidence of a crime rather than
rely solely on her claims.
|
Because
of the Protection Order, Niner was unable to retrieve
the balance of his property from the apartment and its
garage. Ms. Mauger was unable to pay the rent on
her own and she was finally evicted. She did have
the money though to pay for a new tattoo. After she
moved from the apartment, Niner returned and of course
discovered his property missing, again.
|
 |
In
need of housing, Ms. Mauger visited a former boyfriend.
This is the same man with whom she lived at the rental
property with the outhouse. She makes use of the
occasion to celebrate his birthday and to resume their
relationship. This man has no greater wisdom or
judgment than Niner and permits her to move into his
apartment.
| On
September 15, Ms. Mauger is charged with 2 counts of
Cruelty to Animals Abandonment. The charges were
brought by the Berks County Humane Society. She
later explained in a hearing before Judge Daniele that
she simply couldn't afford the $3,000 surgery the dog
required. Her inability to pay for this surgery
does not explain the emaciated condition of the
Rottweiler. |

On
September 19, Berks County Child Services interview
Niner concerning the alleged sexual abuse. The
County detective closed the case.
On
November 10, George is issued a citation for Leaving
Child Unattended in Vehicle. He had left his
grandchild in a vehicle with the motor running while he
shopped at his local WaWa store.
On
November 11, Ms. Mauger was issued a citation for
Harassment of the boyfriend who shared his apartment
with her. Although she once wrote to a Judge stating
this man was "abusive", it was she who struck him with a
glass bottle. The injury required numerous
stitches. She was found Guilty by Trial on
February 12, 2009 and fined $222.00. The fine
remains unpaid.
Even though it was Ms. Mauger who injured her boyfriend,
she filed for a Protection Order against him and he was
unable to return to his own apartment. Ms. Mauger took
advantage of this opportunity to move property from the
apartment. After she departed, the boyfriend
returned to his apartment and discovered his property
missing. We're unsurprised. Ms. Mauger later
failed to appear at a court hearing and the PFA was
dropped. The PFA though had served her purpose.
November 12, Ms. Mauger is arrested and charged with 1
count of Theft By Unlawful Taking-Movable Property and 2
counts of Receiving Stolen Property. The case is
now in Common Pleas Court. It appears that Ms. Mauger and her
neighbor had taken and sold Niner's property to Cash
Converters. George promptly went to Cash
Converters and purchased some of the property. No doubt
George and his daughter conspired on this effort to
circumvent Judge Daniele’s order to return Niner's
property.
On
November 25, Ms. Mauger was found Guilty by Trial on
both counts of Cruelty to Animals Abandonment and fined
a total of $662.00. The fines remain unpaid.
December 17, George pled Guilty to Leaving Child
Unattended in Vehicle and received a $108.00 fine.
As of July 21, 2009, the unpaid balance was $38.00.
It
appears to us that Ms. Mauger's fines were not overly
punitive, rather that George's fine was considerably
light but such must be the law in Pennsylvania.
Lacking a residence, Ms. Mauger imposed on the
hospitality of an acquaintance and stayed for a week or
so at the woman's home. The woman quickly found
herself caring for a young child, neglected by the
mother. The woman had requested that Ms. Mauger
not bring any strangers into her home, a perfectly
reasonable and prudent request. Ms. Mauger though
soon met a man on Fling.com and took him to the house.
Arriving home and discovering this man, the woman was
understandably upset and asked Ms. Mauger to leave.
Still lacking a residence, Ms. Mauger turned up in her
grandmother's retirement community in need of housing
for herself and her daughter. Ms. Mauger used the residence as her legal address. In only a
matter of days, Ms. Mauger was leaving her child with
her father while staying with the man she met on
Fling.com. On occasion, she did stay overnight at
her grandmother's, when not occupied elsewhere.
The above does not
include all the information we chart and track.
Below, we present an accurate scorecard as of December
31, 2008.
