Problems with Nick Cottone at Seneca Ridge Middle School

This document was delivered via email to LCPS, LCSO, and Leesburg Police on Monday, August 17, 2026 at 8:00 am ET.  The document provides the most significant evidence to-date of the unlawful State-Actor collusion between LCPS, LCSO and Lindsay Mohler and her firm Troxell Leigh P.C.  What we can definitively prove is that  1. Principal Kate Ridgeway (Lowes Island) and Principal Nick Cottone (Seneca Ridge) were subpoenaed by Lindsay Mohler on April 24, 2024. 2. Key Stipulation: The legal actions driving the subpoenas included no changes or allegations related to my joint legal custody of my children. What is interesting is that in June of 2024 and again in June 2025, Principal Ridgeway made unprofessional and unlawful statements to me in email and verbally that I should expect to have my parental rights changed or voided. 3. FERPA Violation: LCPS failed to provided proper notification to me a parent of three student's enrolled in LCPS schools that a subpoena was issues reg...

I sent the following notice to LCPS, LCSO, and Leesburg Police at 1 pm ET on Thursday, August 13, 2026. I sent the notice as I received an email from Jamie Braxton of Dominion High School. The email was sent directly to me and represented a survey for attending the Zero Night held on August 12, 2026. The email represents a blatant act of aggravated retaliation by LCPS. The email attempts to establish a fraudulent record that I attended the Zero Night at Dominion HIgh School on August 12. The reason is that if were to have attended LCPS could have me arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for violating the unlawful and fraudulent NTO it maintains against me. The issue is that it was physically impossible for me to attend the zero night at Dominion High School. To wit, I was traveling between Pittsburgh, PA, and Winchester, VA during the event, and spent the night in Winchester, VA on August 13, 2026. This is a clear act of retalation for my public disclosure of significant Civil Rights...
