Ending With a Whimper

 A Rankin County woman's federal lawsuit against former MHP trooper Ivana Williams was dismissed with prejudice today.   

A "Jane Doe" charged Williams, Brad McLendon, and other "Does" with disclosure of intimate images under 15 U.S.C. Section 6851(b), intentional infliction of emotional distress. invasion of privacy, defamation, negligent infliction of emotional distress, civil battery, civil assault, negligence per se - invasion of privacy, civil conspiracy, gross negligence, and fraudulent concealment in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in March.  

The plaintiff alleged the defendant took advantage of her sexually when she got too drunk at the defendant's home and videotaped the encounter.  She claimed the former trooper shared the video with others, including McLendon. McLendon was a trooper as well.  However, no video or evidence of a video ever surfaced.   Earlier post covering complaint. 

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan, III dismissed the lawsuit today.  The agreed order of dismissal states: 
CAME ON THIS DAY, Jane Doe, Plaintiff, and Defendants Brad McLendon and Ivanna Williams, and jointly submit this Final Judgment of Dismissal with Prejudice in the above-styled cause of action, and it being stipulated and made known to the Court that the parties agree that the Complaint filed by Jane Doe and the Counterclaim filed by Defendant Williams, and any potential claims of McLendon, should be dismissed with prejudice and consent to the entry of this Judgment, having maturely considered same and being fully advised in the premises, it is well-taken and should be sustained.

Somebody please translate the judge talk and explain why the action was dismissed.

Why is E31 still employed, and Williams isn't?

Can't wait till her amended complaint is filed. Going to be some big names exposed along with the corruption going on at DPS. Get your popcorn ready.

Ever heard of quid pro qou sexual harrassment? Some people should be worried.

All the texts and communications she has kept will be really interesting. As they say deny deny deny, but electronic communications do not lie!

“ However, no video or evidence of a video ever surfaced” you know damn well every cop in RC has seen the video. Kingfish I know you spoken to the victim as well. Stop bullshitting. You know the video exist. So does Therese Apel. Bad writing.

12:27 Thanks -- maybe they are smarter than they sound- well wait, who cares.

If word on the street about offering a substantial settlement to Ivana is true, DPS aleady knows they have exposure risk. Question is how much more are they willing to add to keep this swept under the rug as the worst is yet to come? This will be the biggest scandal in the history of the state. Mark my word!!

How about the guy they hired at Capitol Police who is giglio for the swat team? Why was he hired in a law enforcement capacity by Sean Tindell and Keith Davis after they were made aware of the fact? Is this the good ole boy system at work?

Anonymous said...

If you want to see the incompetence and waste of taxpayer resources go to the employee appeals board and look at all the settlements and reversals involving this administration. I don't think any of Tindells head hunting adventures have worked out for him yet. There will be more in the next couple months as well, so stay tuned.

Tindell likes to settle matters and sweep them under the rug with NDAs to avoid bad PR. It is all about image. Dig deeper and you will find the actual outcomes of these cases.

Sounds like Williams paid the chick she taped....settlement.

Kingfish said...

Try again. Settlement agreements are public record in Mississippi.

Kingfish said...

Hutson and Lott are not going to win their appeals. Neither is Cochran. Now they did get reversed after firing that trooper up in N. Mississippi who deserved it. Remember him? The Board reversed it and was wrong to do so. As for the first two troopers and defendant in question, if they are sending nude pics of each other or requesting and receiving, they are toast. Show me a company where that would be allowed

Anonymous said...

Well find the outcomes of the cases before posting then. Numerous have been "resolved." Find the public records of the settlements and report back what they say. There are others as well you have not mentioned and more pending.

Williams didn't pay anyone. The chick knew it was bogus from the get go and filed bankruptcy to protect herself from getting hammered from the counterclaim.

I figured from the start that this was a consensual act between 2 drunk adults. I honestly feel sorry for Ivana in the sense that she’s been called a rapist and she’s truly not. However, her firing from MHP has nothing to do with Jane Doe. It has to do with her actions while on the job. It’s like she can’t understand that part. While she is correct that many men have done similar things without repercussions, she refuses to accept responsibility for her own actions and has now wasted an entire year blaming others for those actions, instead of working towards a new career and positive outcome for her children. The begging for money online while being able-bodied and on government assistance is shameful.

Kingfish: Which trooper in North Mississippi was fired with a resulting overturning of that action? If you're talking about E-31, you're lying.

What about sharing the video that she claims doesn't exist, but she sent it to her boyfriend, and it somehow got sent all over--is that not considered sharing porn, since the other girl in it didn't want it sent out?
She was really low to accuse her kid of accessing adult sites on her state phone. If the kid was old enough to be looking it up, then he was old enough to know not to use a state phone to do it with. That was just another of her lies, and blaming her kid was disgusting.

Anonymous said...

Could there be anyone more annoying.

Anonymous said...

*sent it to her MARRIED boyfriend whose WIFE found the video - the video that doesn’t exist. Fixed it for ya.

I agree. Throwing her kid under the bus was unforgivable.

King- Fox News allowed Titus and Charles Payne to send nudes. No termination.

Anonymous said...

There is no law against 'sharing porn', 10:19, when only adults are involved.

Anonymous said...

It doesn’t matter that there isn’t an “anti-porn-sharing” law. Laws and policies are two different things, Ivana. Breaking either of those can result in termination of employment in most any line of work. You got fired for breaking a policy, not a law. How the hell were you a cop but can’t understand that very basic notion?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
