James Forney Arrested After Allegedly Dumping Stash 

Of Child Pornagraphy- and he very well may still work 

there! Business as usual at ASH.

This story almost got past me. It was reported months 

ago, including in national press, such as the Huffington 

Post, but I somehow missed it at the time. In any case,

the story itself greatly serves to further illustrate the

substandard conditions at The Arizona State Hospital, 

where some of the worst of the worst health care 

workers anywhere engage in patient abuse and directly 

related administrative ineptitude, misconduct that flows 

directly upon the shoulders of Arizona's most vulnerable   

citizens as a matter of standard practice. In this specific 

case, a predator of stomach turning depravity has been 

removed from the streets, and I contend that it's in no

way a coincidence that this dirt bag happens to work at 

ASH; what's most disturbing however, is that if not for

the facts underlying this perverts exposure, he would 

still be right there in the mix at ASH, carrying on 

business as usual, there in confines of the state of 

Arizona's sole long term public mental health facility.

And it's only reasonable to understand that men of this 

type and character (or lack thereof) thrive in places like 

ASH. I attest to knowing this rat bastard fairly well,  

largely because he and one other security guard in

particular, another outspoken Christian staff person

named Bee-Bee, regularly harassed me on the basis of

my willingness to report staff misconduct wherever and 

whenever I witnessed it. The harassment would occur 

out of earshot of others, and both of these assholes 

would state things like "We know about you and what 

you have been up to, and we know how to handle 

people like you." Graphically unlawful abuses of power

of this sort are standard practice at ASH.      

       As to security staff in general, early on in my time at 

ASH, I took on the task of trying to address the insidious 

presence of of illicit substances at ASH, mainly tobacco 

products smuggled into the Hospital by staff and sold to 

the highly vulnerable patients at astoundingly exorbitant 

profit, substances which I in time learned were trafficked 

with the full cooperation of various security staff, and 

presumably senior security staff, at that. This is 

precisely why some security staff made it a point to 

harass, intimidate, and otherwise violate my 

fundamental rights: I was actively going to the heart of 

a highly illegal cash flow that some proportion of

security staff benefitted from, including senior security- 

(herein, a reminder of the fact that former ASH 

security Lt. David Burgess has since been promoted to 

the position of ASH's assigned patient rights' 

advocate/investigator)-

but rather than respond to my reports as per applicable 

law and policy, administrative staff assigned certain 

members of security to actively keep an eye on me (this, 

despite the fact that I established no history as a rule 

breaker or otherwise risk to the environment at ASH), 

and to harass me as such. I can attest to this with 

absolute veracity, because a former security guard with

whom I am in touch today confirmed these matters not 

long after resigning his-her position at ASH last fall.

(See my January 13, 2013 article RE: Highly Illegal Tobacco Sales By Staff for more information about this specific topic).  

     I could not download the full content of this story 

about a pervert who had full license to exercise his 

sickening means of communication and conduct in a 

public health care facility that's granted the distinct 

privilege and related responsibility of caring for 

Arizona's most seriously mental ill citizens, but it is 

a quick and easy  find in its full form on 

arizonacentral.com., with all related video and photos. 

Just google this monster's name: Roger James Forney.

A security guard employed by the Arizona Department of Health Services and assigned at The Arizona State Hospital  is suspected of owning a large stash of child pornography and has been arrested in Arizona after he allegedly attempted to throw the incriminating images away, reports say.

According to KSAZ-TV, 48-year-old Roger James Forney was arrested this week after several trash bags full of pornographic images that featured underage boys were found in a dumpster about a mile from his house in Glendale, Ariz.

KPHO writes:

The stash of images containing graphic sexual images of mostly young boys was found by a resident who reported the discovery to police. The printed images were found along with a broken laptop and flash drives from which authorities extracted thousands of similar images. The inappropriate material was tossed along with personal documents belonging to Forney, including resumes and military records, which identified him as their suspect.

"There were images of kids tied to chairs, tied to each other, kids tying each other up to things and performing sexual acts; acts that I'm not going to get into," Sgt. Brandon Jones of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, said. "Just disgusting, disgusting images."

AZFamily.com reports that many of the images were "sketch drawings of young boys" engaged in graphic sexual activity.

Police say that Forney "admitted that he had tried to destroy the [images] after an FBI warning locked his computer." He also admitted to being attracted to young boys but insisted that he hasn't "actually touched any children," AZFamily.com writes.

For the past three years, Forney -- a retired Army National Guard member -- has worked as a security guard at the Arizona State Mental Hospital.

He is facing 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, KSAZ-TV reports.

IN CLOSING: Make no mistake about it, this man is a monster, and his denial(s) of ever actually raping children is highly unbelievable, for statistics specific to this sort of behavior offer glaringly damning evidence to the effect that such individuals rarely limit their actions to viewing porn. The Arizona State Hospital, meanwhile, is a snake pit of abusive behavior, and serves as a haven for some of society's most unethical public servants, people who revel in feeding on the weak and disfranchised, and the full impacts of these sorts of individuals' behavioral flaws is imparted on ASH patients as a matter of standard practice. I will also say again that there are good people working at ASH, and this is a very important point- but the fact is, there are also far more wrongdoers working at ASH who effectively blanket the best efforts of anyone there who might directly seek to address patient abuse and related administrative ineptitude, including patients such as myself. This man's specific depravity illustrates the problem in clear and simple terms, for he was one of the most outspoken guards there, always laughing it up with certain patients and presenting himself as a gregariously friendly staff member. And to the best of knowledge today, the patients at ASH are still in crisis, as follows: At last notice, this employee was merely put on leave. This is unacceptable. Please find a way to defend the rights and treatment needs of ASH's patients today.
