Herein, yet one more revisit to a story that illustrates the worst elements in human culture. ROGER JAMES FORNEY. Forney being a (former) security guard at The Arizona State Hospital circa 2011-2012, who was hired while assistant AZ Attorney General Joel Rudd was (and still is) 100% responsible for the legal status/operation at The ASH, in spite of Forney having a very serious criminal record, including at least one Arizona conviction in 2010 for sexual abuse of children.
| SEE MARICOPA COUNTY COURT RECORDS: Roger Forney CASE #13-3552 (F2) SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR. Plead guilty as charged.. And why the state of Arizona's criminal court did not require a man with Forney's established depravity to register as a sex offender in association with that 2010 conviction is a question that I contend all Arizona citizens are deserving of a clear answer to. Not to mention how and why the assistant AZ Attorney General assigned via the public trust to oversee the legal affairs of ASH, Joel Rudd, stood idly by when this pervert was granted access and full time employment in the state's sole long term mental health care facility. This particular issue just one more shocking to the core example of how outside the current operationof ASH is in relation to the public interest. |

Attorney General Tom Horne Indicts Child Sex Predator.
Joint Investigation with Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Uncovers Hundreds of Images of Young Boys
Phoenix, AZ (Thursday, January 23, 2014) – Attorney General Tom Horne is today announcing the indictment of Roger Forney for 10 counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, a Class 2 Felony. Forney pled guilty and was sentenced to 15 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Upon his release from prison will be placed on lifetime probation and required to register as a sex offender.
Horne stated: “Forney had sexually explicit pictures of young boys. The taking of these pictures was a horrible assault on the boys. We must destroy the demand for those pictures, so it will no longer be profitable or tempting to abuse children in this way.”
Horne stated: “Forney had sexually explicit pictures of young boys. The taking of these pictures was a horrible assault on the boys. We must destroy the demand for those pictures, so it will no longer be profitable or tempting to abuse children in this way.”
On October 21, 2012, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a complaint from a concerned resident at an apartment complex. The concerned Samaritan had discovered several garbage bags in a dumpster that contained sketch drawings depicting graphic bondage and sexual activity of young boys. Printed pictures of young boys that were sexually exploitive were also found. Once on scene, MCSO located a laptop computer that had been destroyed amongst and also left in the garbage. MCSO was able to salvage the hard drive and conducted a computer forensic examination of its content. The examination revealed hundreds of images of young boys in sexually explicit images. MCSO was able to identify the defendant, Roger Forney, as the owner of the property based upon items found in the dumpster and documents on the laptop computer.
On October 23, 2012, MCSO executed a search warrant at Forney’s residence where they found another computer with images that were sexual in nature. After being Mirandized, he admitted to destroying the laptop and sketch drawings found in the dumpster because an FBI warning popped up on his computer, causing it to lock up. The computer forensics completed by MCSO determined that the defendant downloaded malware and that the FBI had nothing to do with the warning. During the interview the defendant also admitted he was sexually attracted to young boys between the ages of three and twelve.
On October 29, 2012, the State Grand Jury indicted Roger Forney for 10 counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, a Class 2 Felony. The defendant entered a plea agreement to a count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, a Class 2 Felony and Dangerous Crimes against Children and to a count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, a Class 2 Felony. On January 10, 2014, Roger Forney was sentenced to 15 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections and upon his release from prison will be placed on lifetime probation with sex terms and computer usage terms. Roger Forney will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Assistant Attorney General Joseph Waters handled this case.

Joel Rudd is also an Assistant Attorney General in the state of Arizona, and his direct assignment for many, many years has been to act as the primary legal counsel at The Arizona State Hospital. And as I have discussed in prior articles in this blog, Roger Allen Forney was hired by Arizona Health Services in 2011 and similarly assigned to work at ASH as a security guard, in flagrant defiance of the fact that he has a very clear prior criminal history that extends well before this hiring, including a 2010 conviction in Arizona for precisely the same crime illustrated in the above document: sexual exploitation of children. Point being, as I have also stated in the past, ASH's staff is rife with individuals who engage in highly abusive physical, emotional, and psychological misbehavior, to such a degree that it is clear to me that ASH is a haven for predatory miscreants in the context. And with Rudd in mind, I am equally convinced that he has been directly complicit in furthering the wrongdoing at ASH, in spite of his required obligations to the public. Whether in the case of the cover up of Jesus Murietta's violent escape from ASH in May, 2011, and the associated subsequent slaying of April Moot, or in terms of a man like Forney being granted a job at the facility that Rudd has direct responsibility over as an attorney, and countless other details about the grossly substandard health care practices at ASH, this man's willful misconduct has everything to do with the hows and whys underlying the fact that ASH administrators and senior clinicians have been getting away with operating Arizona's sole long term public mental health care facility in graphic violation of applicable law and policy. It is that simple. It is that bad.
IN CLOSING: No degree of my avowed discontent over the wrongdoing at The Arizona State Hospital leads me to wish that any person not be treated humanely and in accordance with law. On this basis, I also am willing to express my hope that Roger Forney somehow finds his way out of the depravity underlying this latest conviction. He will be most definitely be a marked man in the Arizona corrections, not only in relation to his criminal record, but also in terms of his former position as guard at The Arizona State Hospital. There are as a matter of facts several very violent former ASH patients now incarcerated in the same corrections system, for example.

I would really love input of any kind from anybody with any interest whatsoever in the issues that I am sharing in this blog. I mean it, anybody, for I will be the first one to admit that I may be inaccurately depicting certain aspects of the conditions
at ASH, and anonymous comments are fine. In any case, I am more than willing to value anybody's feelings about my writing, and I assure you that I will not intentionally exploit or otherwise abuse your right to express yourself as you deem fit. This topic is far, far too important for anything less. Thank you, whoever you are. Peace and Frogs.
