Demand criminal charges against Dr. Paul Gregory St. Claire and an end to judicial bias protecting him.
 
On April 10, 2025, the Meridian Township Police in Okemos, Michigan, recommended that Ingham County Prosecutor Andrew J. Dewane criminally charge Dr. Paul Gregory St. Claire, an anesthesiologist, with domestic assault.

 

This came after a six-month police investigation into a poisoning complaint filed by his Haitian immigrant wife, Cassandra Fameux. Ms. Fameux reported that Dr. St. Claire—formerly of University of Michigan Health Sparrow—and Dr. Dominic Barberio, a psychiatrist at the same hospital, illegally administered antipsychotic drugs to her for nearly nine years.

The two doctors gave her Invega Sustenna, a drug referred to as a “chemical lobotomy,” in doses so high they exceeded medical recommendations, she told police.

From 2017 to at least 2021 the Invega Sustenna was unprescribed--which Ms. Fameux believes was meant to help the doctors conceal the alleged crime; the two doctors used samples from Dr. Barberio's storage cabinet.

Two psychiatrists subsequently concluded that Ms. Fameux was never schizophrenic nor bipolar. One of them, Dr. Rita Aouad, testified in her divorce trial that she suffers from depression and PTSD from years of abusive marriage to Dr. St. Claire.

 Call Prosecutor Andrew Dewane at (517) 483-6272 and (517) 483-6108 and demand to know: Why—seven months after police recommended charges—has he still not acted? Also e-mail the Prosecutor via SPulda@ingham.org

Dr. St. Claire refused to be interviewed by police for the investigation. Dr. Barberio was interviewed by Det. Ian Mandernack.

THE FACTS

From 2014 to 2017, Ms. Fameux was administered antipsychotics orally.

From 2017 to 2021, she was injected monthly with Invega Sustenna by Dr. St. Claire in Dr. Barberio's office at U of M Health Sparrow.

From 2021 to 2023, Dr. St. Claire and Dr. Barberio switched back to an oral antipsychotic, this time giving Ms. Fameux, who was literally a captive at home, with Abilify.

She provided police with audio evidence of Dr. Barberio admitting she was not schizophrenic.

Dr. St. Claire’s motive, according to Ms. Fameux, was to coerce her into signing a Judgment of Separate Maintenance (JOSM)—handing him custody of their three children and 90% of their multi-million-dollar marital assets, including two homes.

She signed the JOSM on February 20, 2018, while still being drugged.
After police began investigating, Dr. Barberio admitted that it was actually Dr. St. Claire who performed the injections in Dr. Barberio's office even though medical records falsely state Dr. Barberio administered them.

Ms. Fameux said that on occasions when Dr. St. Claire was angry, he would phone Dr. Barberio to come to their home to inject her as “punishment.” One such incident occurred when she did not cook for his two adult daughters from his late wife, Dr. Marcy Street, whom St. Claire had also previously claimed was mentally ill, she said.

Even after Ms. Fameux developed a brain tumor—a side effect of Invega Sustenna—the doctors continued to inject her. She also developed a heart condition (requiring a loop monitor implant), diabetes, and infertility after surgery to stop excessive bleeding. Officer Nathan Wicks, who initially interviewed Ms. Fameux on September 10, 2024 about her criminal complaint wrote, "Cassandra advised that the continuous Invega injections is the reason the tumor and diabetes developed. Cassandra had medical paperwork proving her claims."

JUDICIAL COMPLICITY
Dr. St. Claire was fired from U of M Health Sparrow on February 28, 2024, after Black Star News exposed the case. During divorce testimony on December 11, 2024, he admitted resigning after his wife told the hospital he had altered her medical records.

Ms. Fameux says she now faces the full weight of Lansing’s white power structure, which has closed ranks around Drs. St. Claire and Barberio.

Her divorce attorney Timothy Young wrote in October 2024 court filing that Ms. Fameux was “incapacitated” by drugs when she signed the JOSM. “These drugs incapacitated defendant to the extent she didn’t know the why or what was happening,” the filing stated, and added that the drugs “impaired her ability to fully understand and communicate; something defendant tried to convey during the mediation, i.e., that she didn’t know what was going on and what she was being asked to sign.” 

Still, Judge Carol N. Koenig who is presiding over the divorce case in the Ingham County 30th Circuit Court in Lansing, MI, refused to void the agreement.

Even after securing the JOSM, Dr. St. Claire continued living with Ms. Fameux, and continued to drug her and to have sex with her, she said. When confronted by Timothy Young who said this meant the couple remained married and Ms. Fameux was entitled to marital assets , Dr. St. Claire responded that if they did continue to have sex it was "very, very rare," and he also asked:  “Well, first of all, what’s the definition of sex?”

Dr. St. Claire didn’t file for divorce until August 2023—five years after the JOSM, and one week after Ms. Fameux confronted him with video evidence of him having sex with a married nurse from U of M Health Sparrow in the back seat of his car.

Judge Koenig ignored this evidence. When Ms. Fameux accused the judge of racial bias and filed a motion for recusal, Koenig denied and sealed it, and Ms. Fameux later filed a judicial grievance complaint in March 2025.

Attorney Lisa Stern later showed that the JOSM was void under Michigan law because no Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) was ever appointed for Ms. Fameux—even though she had been adjudicated incompetent in 2015.

In her September 3, 2025 ruling, Judge Koenig falsely wrote that Ms. Fameux did have a GAL, twice referring to a “guardian ad litem,” having represented Ms. Fameux, when the records show otherwise. The only person ever appointed was Attorney Melissa Leckie, as an Attorney Guardian Ad Litem (AGAL) for the children, not for Ms. Fameux.

Despite this legal and ethical violation, Judge Koenig continues enforcing the JOSM—a document signed while Ms. Fameux was drugged and without a proper GAL.

Even more shocking: Judge Koenig was aware that police were investigating Dr. St. Claire for poisoning his wife. Detective Ian Mandernack contacted her office and obtained trial transcripts. She also received a link to a Black Star News article documenting the police recommendation for criminal charges against Dr. St. Claire—copied to Administrative Judge Shauna Dunnings.

Still, Koenig has done nothing to address the alleged criminal aspect of this case which Ms. Fameux has alleged since the divorce trial started, in her rulings.

Even though the court ruled 50/50 custody of the couple's only remaining minor child, on a weekly rotating basis, the boy has remained with the father--whom the police want prosecuted--and Ms. Fameux has not had her visitation for several weeks. Again no action by the court.

 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST EVERYWHERE
The lawyer who “represented” Ms. Fameux during the JOSM, Robin Omer, was paid by Dr. St. Claire.

Omer was a former law partner of Jane Radner, who represented Dr. St. Claire in his 2003 divorce from the late Dr. Marcy Street.

The attorney who filed the petition to appoint Ms. Fameux’s sister Jenny Smith as her guardian was Jessica Larson—Dr. St. Claire’s own lawyer.

Talk about a conflict universe.

 
OUR DEMANDS
The undersigned, demand:

That Ingham County Prosecutor Andrew Dewane immediately file criminal charges against Dr. Paul Gregory St. Claire.

That Dr. Dominic Barberio be investigated and charged for his role in the illegal drugging.

That Judge Carol N. Koenig be removed from the case and investigated for alleged racial bias and judicial misconduct.

That the Judgment of Separate Maintenance (JOSM) be nullified, as it was signed while Ms. Fameux was drugged, incapacitated, and unrepresented by a lawful Guardian Ad Litem (GAL).
 
Justice for Cassandra Fameux is long overdue.
This Haitian mother was chemically tortured, stripped of her rights, and left unprotected by a biased court system which now wants to dissolve the marriage and leave her to fend for herself with the brain tumor and other ailments.

Her life and health were destroyed—now her voice must be heard.

NEWS UPDATE December 1, 2025. Please Read (BELOW) More About The Fabricated Guardian Ad Litem (GAL). 

My additional reporting has revealed that the fabricated Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) used by Judge Carol Koenig in Ingham County’s 30th Judicial Circuit Court, Lansing, Michigan, to issue her ruling on September 3, 2025 that sustained the void Judgment of Separate Maintenance (JOSM) in favor of Dr. St. Claire dates to a pro confesso hearing on December 20, 2017 presided over by Judge Janelle Lawless in the Ingham County Court. On that occasion, Dr. St. Claire’s lawyer Jessica Larson basically concocted the GAL out of thin air by asking her client a false question—that Judge Lawless allowed to be entered and to remain to this day on the court records—as shown below: 

Ms. Larson (then known as Ms. Waite): “Have you and Ms. Fameux and her guardian ad litem executed a mediation agreement?”

Dr. St. Claire: “Yes.”

No GAL existed but Judge Lawless did not correct the false premise. Read the entire article per this link. Judge Lawless also presided over the 2003 divorce of Dr. St. Claire from his late second wife Dr. Marcy Street whom he'd also accused of mental illness.
