DEMAND DAVE YOST CSA INVESTIGATION

The Issue

 

Dave Yost has not assigned report number S-P2402390 to be investigated. This report is to bring justice to the victims of Gary Thomas Keesee for SA and abuse of minors. 

His victims include his sister (who posted below) and girls under his influence in the church. 

These victims deserve justice. 

Dave Yost is allegedly blocking the investigation due to his relationship with Knox County Commissioner Drenda Keesee. 

ASSIGN THE CASE, DAVE.

Posted by friends of the victims, not the original poster.

Many are aware of allegations involving a family member. I was a victim, and when I learned of ongoing concerns for others' safety in combination with other’s stories I already knew, I felt a responsibility to step forward. A private police investigation has been working on this case alongside other victims.


When the case was being escalated from our local Police detectives to the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), I decided to go on record, and my information was sent in as a victim for an official interview. The agency initially indicated they would assign a detective immediately and coordinated with the Police department to get my name and information. However, shortly after my information was submitted, I was informed that the BCI said they would not get involved with the case. No explanation was provided, and I was not given an opportunity to meet with anyone or share my account.


Given the facts of this case, I find it deeply concerning that the BCI is unwilling to hear from firsthand victims, despite law enforcement confirming there was sufficient evidence to proceed without my story. I also cannot ignore that my mother has a close political relationship with Attorney General Dave Yost. I do not know if this has had any impact on the decision, but it raises serious questions about the fairness and transparency of the process. Many individuals in law enforcement and government positions have also expressed confusion and frustration over why this case is not moving forward.


A close friend in law enforcement told me the case is being “blocked” due to “conflict of interest.” This is the second attempt to have this case placed that has been blocked due to an alleged conflict of interest. They will now attempt to move it to a third location, but there are concerns this might be a repeat pattern.


I do not wish to create division, but I strongly believe every victim deserves the opportunity to have their voice heard in court if they choose to do so. If you share this belief, I encourage you to contact Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost at 800-282-0515 and ask why this case is not being pursued and ask that it be placed immediately. Why is the BCI declining to hear directly from victims, despite local law enforcement confirming there is evidence to move forward?


Seeking answers is not about presuming guilt—it is about ensuring a fair and just system where victims have the chance to be heard.
