Posted for the record. Jonathan Elinoff posted a direct link to this DPF thread on his Facebook page today, with the following attached:
"Since the former Sheriff Sullivan of Arapahoe County is currently dealing with charges of probation violations for having continued hot urine tests, I am being asked to give a statement on the matter. I will say this, when a person is charged with the crimes he is charged with and has a hot UA, they go to jail immediately. A 2nd hot UA and they go to prison. He has 5 hot UAs and has seen nothing. Remember, he is a person who is also getting away with the crimes he wasn't charged with (giving HIV to people and 3 different cases of potential premeditated homicide as well as sex with minors and possibly more charges) So if you want to know what I think, I ask you this: Where are the public officials who are supposed to be doing their damn jobs here? That man is a predator and a threat to our safe streets. He shamed the badge he wore for years. We trusted him to be the person he was celebrated for, and he turned out to be a horrible human being. No one in this town has the guts or the courage to stand up to bad people anymore, and the Sheriff Sullivan story is the pinnacle of that. I was one of the few who did what I could to get something done about Sullivan, but I could only do so much. I found a thread online that very clearly explains what happened with my story and for those who don't know it, I will say this. I am a very passionate human being. I put up with a lot over the years, being told I couldn't do things or being called crazy and meanwhile I had one of the most trafficked websites on the internet in history and broke some very major stories on those sites. It was an incredible experience and I wouldn't give it up for anything. Same with all those years as an activist. But for me to just shut all my websites down and delete as much as I could with my name on it from the internet, that has to tell you something. It tells you that some really serious sh*t happened. But I moved on to new chapters in my life. And in short, you can read what happened in this thread I found someone posted online, it captures what can be said about it"
................
I had a phone conversation with Jonathan a few months ago which offered further details, some of which pulled my head further down the rabbit hole, which aren't easily summarised, and which alluded to deep goings on that still haunt me somewhat. His pertinent point above still stands though. He dug deep, stirred up some very murky waters, and the fact that he needed to beat a retreat is possibly more telling than any other info he could have divulged. He mentioned the possibility of a book coming out about some of the story (the Sullivan expose and resultant fireworks and life-lessons learned). I hope it does.
