Hold Glenn C. Lambert Accountable And Expose False Narratives Made to Protect Him
The Issue
On January 15th, 2021 an Austintown man named Glenn Charles Lambert was indicted by a jury on 16 counts. Seven counts of rape, four counts of gross sexual imposition, and two counts of compelling prostitution.
On May 10th, 2022, Lambert pled guilty to 2 counts of sexual battery felonies of the 2nd degree, and one count of gross sexual imposition felony of the 3rd degree. It was published by the Mahoning county prosecutors office that Lambert sexually assaulted a 4 year old child and an 11 year old child over the course of 2 years whilst the victims were in his care. Their parents were both in rehab recovering from drugs. Lambert offered to care for these children, manipulating the parents into believing he would be the best for their children. Thinking their children were in a safe space while they sought out for help, the unimaginable was happening behind closed doors.
During his June 2022 sentencing hearing under Judge John Durkin, Lambert fully admitted to his actions, stating, "I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I can't take it back," going even farther to say he was suffering from alcoholism. When Lambert later appealed his conviction to the Seventh District Court of Appeals in 2023, he did not argue that he wanted to plead no contest or that he was innocent. Instead, his appeal focused strictly on a technicality, claiming he didn’t fully understand how consecutive vs. concurrent sentences worked when he signed his guilty plea. Lamberts appeal was denied, as every person accepting a plea deal must sign that they fully understand what the deal entails. The courts also believed the Judge gave Lambert a light sentence after only giving him 16 years when his plea deal allowed up to 20 years.
Since Lamberts sentencing, his family has done everything in their power to claim Lamberts innocence. This includes creating a petition with false information, victim shaming, victim blaming, and harassment to anyone who opposes the petition and the lies /details held within it to make Lambert seem innocent.
In this falsified petition, the family uses it to their advantage that Lambert did not go to trial and have any evidence presented to a jury. They claim that because the victim had an STD that the predator didn't, (supposedly, as they have provided no proof and this is not public record as it involves minors) he must have not committed the act. What they fail to mention is that this STD (I will not name for privacy of victim) is an STD that can only be spread during an active outbreak with direct contact, or during brief windows of what is called asymptomatic shedding. Some people with this disease don't have an outbreak more than once in their lifetime (and others never, and have no clue they have the disease until they are tested, as it can be transferred from mom to baby at birth.)
This petition also claims the victim has admitted to lying about the acts lambert committed against them (and that the reason for the victims "lies" was so the victims family could go after Glenn C. Lamberts money, but absolutely zero lawsuits have been filed.) This is completely false, as the victim continuously tries to stand up to this family and preach the truth of what this man did to them. The family has took it upon themselves to create fake numbers and accounts, making it appear that the victim has reached out to tell them that Glenn C Lambert is innocent and did not commit these violent acts against them. Not one of these screenshots, phone numbers, or accounts can actually be verified as the victim, because it is not them. (Hence why they haven't been used/brought to a court of law, they claim these messages go back years.)
The family goes further to claim one of the child's rape kit is negative. (Again, have provided no proof, just a claim.) However, if this is true, the American academy of pediatrics states 80-90% of confirmed child molestation cases showed absolutely zero signs of abuse upon examination and DNA testing, and many of these children still experienced severe abuse. This is due to many factors, such evidence must be collected within 72-96 hours of abuse occurring to be accurate. (The reports were not made until the children were safely away from Lambert.)
The family also claims that because of the results of the kit, all charges for the younger child were dropped. Once again, this statement is completely false. According to Ohio state codes,"If the other person, or one of the other persons, is less than eighteen years of age, sexual battery is a felony of the fourth degree." Glenn C. Lambert pled guilty to two counts of sexual battery to the 2nd degree. One count for each of the children he committed these acts towards. The mahoning county prosecutors office confirms this.
As someone who was childhood best-friends with the victim and unfortunately spent many nights in Lamberts house, I can personally testify to Glenn C. Lamberts inappropriate behavior towards children. Without being aware of the abuse that was happening to my friend, I knew something wasn't right with Lambert. At only 10 years old, Lambert gave me and the victim adult substances that no child should be allowed to have, let alone given to them by an adult. Looking back, his treatment towards the victims outlines everything a predator is. After a short time, I wasn't allowed to stay with my best friend anymore, as my mother realized that it was unsafe for me to be around Lambert. My mother also reported her suspicions of abuse towards my friend to the school, and any one who would listen.
When it surfaced that the victims came forward and Lambert was indicted, we were extremely relieved. Upon Lambert taking the plea deal, we believed the victims were spared from a long and painful trial, even though the time he faced wouldn't be enough. Unfortunately, nobody was aware that Glenn C. Lambert and his family would use the absence of a trial to their deepest advantage.
Please provide your signature to help me, the victims, and any possible future victims spread the truth about Lambert and his predatory acts. The more people that know and pass the information on will not only help with protecting the victim and her story, but will also prevent this from ever happening to another child again upon Glenn Charles Lambert's release from prison in 12 years.
