Jefferson County Prosecutors, Judges, and Law Enforcement
The Washington State Court of Appeals Division II, Asbach v. Couto (Division II, Docket involving 60325-0-II) recently ruled that Protective Orders Cannot prohibit or restrict future
speech.
On March 31, 2026, Division II struck down the blanket future-speech restriction as an overbroad, content-based prior restraint violating the First Amendment. The court emphasized that
such orders may not issue a total ban on discussing issues, even critically or in advocacy contexts, as this is unconstitutional.
Courts cannot impose a broad prospective restriction: banning from posting, sharing, or transmitting any videos or media referring to the petitioners or their children "in any manner
whatsoever."
“The Courts cannot issue sweeping gag orders on lawful expression.”
We want to make sure you folks know about this recent ruling. As there are 9 such Protective Orders from Jefferson County Courts against Reverend Crystal Cox that have directly interfered
with our mission, removed massive amounts of online content and endangered Rev Cox and those she advocates for. Also stripping Cox of her guns and gun rights for 6 years based on “offensive
speech”.
The PO are Unconstitutional and have No Basis in Law. And have cost Jefferson County Law Enforcement and Prosecutors 100’s of thousands of dollars. Judge Walker keeps adding more orders
onto Rev Cox.
These PO were used to file over 20 malicious prosecution charges against Cox, all ruled to have never been crimes. Universal Church of Light (BBGC LLC) intends to file a Constitutional
Rights Violation Lawsuit against the county and Judge Mindy Walker and Judge Lorraine Rimson personally and professionally for constitutional rights violations. And a separate lawsuit
against the county and 7+ deputies for conspiracy against rights and malicious prosecution. In the meantime, we feel it is important that Jefferson County Courts know about this recent
ruling. To stop this from happening to other Jefferson County Citizens.
Reverend Crystal Cox provided Judge Rimson, Judge Mack and Judge Walker with dozens of pages of case law on Unconstitutional Prior Restraints, Parody Laws, First Amendment Cases and
Cases that clearly showed Jefferson County Courts had no right to issue a protective order prohibiting or banning Future Speech. Cox was Ignored year after year. Yet the Petitioners
continue to post online about Cox, terrorizing Cox, even at her own home. Jefferson County Judges and law enforcement were made aware of this over and over and continued to violate
the civil and constitutional rights of Reverend Cox.
We Hope You Take this Matter Seriously as it is costing taxpayers Millions.
