This is not my first fax to the RCMP to request their assistance with subpoenaing Constable Clarke.
Receiving no reply after 8 days has me concerned: is my fax to the RCMP being ignored,… and if so, why?!
Constable Clarke, had taken Cathy’s statements on January 2, 2021 (an audio recording where he questions Cathy; and another that Cathy wrote up and submitted to the RCMP on the following day). The RCMP follow a mandate that enables them to press criminal charges based on the allegations of abuse even if there is no proof and even if there are indications that the allegations are false (that is what I’ve since learned).
As you can see, I am also asking that Constable Clarke provide “Disclosure Information”— documents and other materials he had placed in my once pristine file with NO criminal record that was then changed in an instant!
As well, I did send an email to Constable Clarke today, appealing to him, and where I state the following:
Dear Constable Clarke,
I am in need of your testimony at Trial that is set for October 7– 11, 2024.
I am hoping that by appealing to you, that you will agree to be subpoenaed and save me the horrors and cost of a Process Server. I have faxed the Tantalon RCMP twice, but there has been no response as to what the protocol is to serve a subpoena on an RCMP Officer.
A bit of history: on January 2, 2021, you and another Officer laid charges against me based on allegations by my then common-law partner of 27 years, Cathy E. Bennett. I gave up my right to silence in order to proclaim my innocence to the charges— I have never abused Cathy, and in fact, I was the one abused over the years, by Cathy and her son. I maintained my plea of innocence throughout the criminal process and to this very day (and always).
Today, almost 4 years later, I am still having to proclaim my innocence as we proceed through the civil courts for Division of Property, as Cathy attempts to persuade Justice Chiasson, that I am not deserving of an equitable portion of our property due to allegations of abuse (that are false allegations). Understandably, I need to defend against that, and that is why Justice Chiasson has allowed me to Subpoena you— I am mostly interested in the Statements of Cathy Bennett— one where you did an audio recording on January 2, 2021, and another that Cathy typed out the following day( to add to and change some of what she said in the audio recording). I still have the audio recording that had been sent to my criminal lawyer in 2021 along with other evidence (Disclosures) you had gathered including a cell phone photo that you took on Jan 2/21 of a text I had sent to Cathy (about 5 minutes before she called the RCMP— according to RCMP Disclosure Documents).
**note I have removed the Drop Box links hopefully only temporarily, for court purposes**
In my recent fax’s to Tantalon RCMP, I left a list of “Disclosure Documents/Evidence” that you put forward in 2021, that I still have in my email databank (as these had been emailed to my criminal lawyer who then forwarded it to me).
The false allegations caused me great duress and concern for Cathy’s mental state —who after all, would do something like that?! Understandably, I feared for my loved ones and myself. In 2023, when I concluded that I was going to fight for my rights and not settle on Cathy’s terms (less than 1/4 of our acquired property), I decided to release the 8 minute video that Cathy and I made in 2018 in order to address matters at the time, in regards to an argument we were having, where she had been using gaslighting (coercive-control tactics) against me. This gaslighting had been ongoing as a means of ensuring my silence in regards to her son’s horrific abuses that she had turned a blind eye to. In fact, the reason we had split up is that after her son’s arrest for a vicious attack on his common law partner, I then called Crime Stoppers to divulge his long history of abuse. Even though you had questioned Cathy as to why we had split up…, more than once in the audio recording, she did not mention THAT as the reason, which it was— she said it was over not much and wouldn’t provide more even as you prompted!
I know that I tried to convey to you on the night of January 2, 2021 some of this in my plea of innocence, but I was exhausted from being horribly abused and beaten down. In the morning, I became more fearful of her mental state and what I need to do to prevent it from worsening,… moving slowly (one step forward then one step backward… ), until in 2023, I made the decisive move forward, bringing the 8 minute video between Cathy and I forward for protection it offered. I sent this video to you and a few others as well as Cathy and her first lawyer (who quit representing Cathy shortly after). As you are aware, Cathy called you in an attempt to have me arrested. I thank you for not arresting me, and I thank you for calling me up to notify me of her complaint, and for your kind words. I am sorry because I know I expressed some anger towards you— why you arrested and criminally charged me without any followup — investigating for the truth. I don’t pretend to understand the legal/justice system, but I now know more and see that the RCMP’s hands are often “tied”, and you’re just doing your job with limited resources. I just happen to be someone falling through the cracks…, likened to unfortunate casualties of war.
I think you can help me in my case and I hope you will willingly do so, by allowing your subpoena to be served and by providing the information as I have requested in the Fax’s I sent recently to Tantalon RCMP Detachment.
Kind Regards,
May Ocean
