SM County's Chief Probation Officer Under Investigation

Jack December 23, 2012 at 02:27 am

Hey, someone should ask him if he's seen that girl from the picture on patch. He looks like a good lead

Michael G. Stogner December 23, 2012 at 01:46 pm

Question for the Patch, Was Stuart Forrest transported to our jail?

Rick Eymer December 23, 2012 at 02:23 pm

There was no indication where he was transported, or what his current status is as far as being released or still being held. We're currently looking into it.

Michael G. Stogner December 23, 2012 at 02:51 pm

Thank You Rick,
The reason I ask is in the SMDJ original article it mentioned a Flash Warrant which allow for a 10 hold without bail. That is something I hadn't heard of before so it caught my attention, it is also missing from their article now, still looking for answers, if that were true it's possible he is in our jail without being booked, maybe that is the question for the Sheriff...Is he in our jail? never mind has he been booked.

Jack December 23, 2012 at 05:29 pm

He's probably in the torture chamber ... Did you check thieer?

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has issued false statements in the past.
"Correction: The San Mateo County Sheriff's has issued a statement indicating that Forrest was not booked into jail, but is being questioned by the U.S. Postal Inspector Service."

Chris, let's not rush to judgment on this. All we know is that he's been questioned; that doesn't mean he's guilty.
I'm curious regarding your statement that you know people who have this issue. I don't think I've ever known a pedophile before. I'm sure it's possible somebody I've known has secretly been one, but I've never actually been aware of pedophilia being anywhere near me.

How does Gun Control help Schools with Guys like this in charge?

Alan Chun December 23, 2012 at 10:52 pm

I went to high school with Mr. Forrest but lost touch with him a few years later. He never exhibited this type of behavior when I knew him back then.

Andrew Peceimer December 24, 2012 at 01:37 am

Chris how many times have you apologized on the is site?. Although you love Obama, and he likes to apologize on behalf of The United Socialists of American please stop it. It is ok to be wrong and admit it, but apologizing a regualr basis makes me want wonder if you have White guilt frequently influenced by Obama.

Gun control will actually help a Guy like that get away with it because that Guy will be more protected. You have also think about where Mr Forrest Forrest Gump that is teaches - a juvenile hall school (if he's a probation where there's already a bunch of good guys with guns there ... Hello 21 Tower road .

We should give credit to the SMDJ for being the first to publish this story. The story gets a little weird regarding was he transported/arrested/booked at our Redwood City Jail. The Sheriff says No he wasn't.
Where is he being interviewed? For those of you with a short memory, we just recently had a court case involving San Mateo County's favorite Dr. who was accused of molesting boys from Hillcrest and other sources for many years. So here is what we have in common James P. Fox, William H. Ayres and Stuart Forrest all worked at the Juvenile facilities.

NO ONE who is into child porn EXHIBITS any indication of their proclivity to the public. That's the point. Doctors, judges, teachers and so on have all been convicted of possession of child porn. They lead double lives.
Please do your homework on this issue.

Jim C December 24, 2012 at 02:36 pm

Chris, you may not have a monopoly on the truth. But on the Patch, you have a near-monopoly on knowing it.

Will Robinson December 24, 2012 at 05:58 pm

I wonder if Forrest is a victim of the AZOV FILMS witch hunt. See this link:

yeah, I'm sure that is just the best link to go clicking on.........

What's not mentioned in this article is that Dr. William Ayres, a child psychiatrist under contract to the juvenile courts in San Mateo County from 1963-2003, and who worked with Forrest, was arrested for molesting many young boys in 2007. He's still out on bail. Many of Ayres' victims were juveniles who were molested in court-ordered sessions.
Judge Marta Diaz was very good pals with Robert Forrest and recommended that he get the Chief Probation job. According to San Mateo DA Steve Wagstaffe, Diaz and Ayres were also very good pals, and Diaz would have Ayres over to her house for dinner. She also sent boys to him when she was a prosecutor in the DA's office. According to Wagstaffe, Diaz actively tried to intervene into the police investigation into Ayres in 2002 and warned them to be "real careful because Ayres and I are friends." She then continued to send boys to him for another 15 months. She's the only juvenile judge who sent boys to Ayres who has not publicly apologized for doing so.. It is alarming that both the chief probation officer who worked at Hillcrest juvenile hall for decades and the chief evaluating child psychiatrist for juveniles for four decades at Hillcrest are in trouble for child porn and child molestation, respectively. Did Forrest take photos of boys at juvenile hall? Did Ayres and Forrest exchange information about boys? What's going on here?

Alison December 25, 2012 at 05:55 pm

Good questions, Chris. Alas, a boy came forward in 1987 to CPS in San Mateo to say that Dr. William Ayres molested him. But Dr. Ayres was CPS's primary vendor. The boy's therapist maintains that CPS swept the complaint under the rug because of this.
Take a look at this "Juvenile Justice Coordinating Committee" and look who was on it. Then San Mateo DA Jim Fox, Judge Marta Diaz, Stuart Forrest and Gerry Hilliard, head of the juvenile division of the San Mateo Private Defenders who defended Ayres to the press while Ayres was being investigated and has refused to comment since Ayres' arrest. Also, former DA Jim Fox started out as a counselor at Hillcrest. The earliest known victim of Ayres was a juvenile, molested in 1966. His counselor at Hillcrest was Jim Fox. When the victim, who only found out last year that Ayres had been arrested, contacted Jim Fox to let him know he'd been a victim, Fox never responded to his letters or emails. Take a look at this committe: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:F2XSy6X1MQAJ:www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/Attachments/bnc/pdfs/JJCC%2520Meeting%2520Minutes%25203-12-10_final.pdf+%22Stuart+Forrest%22+Mike+Callagy&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgRUeeHZYPcsmGUYiS7w0Zf9PLgxeBVZG183BiZhRhQSXMsPUcqReo_AWBiZsyAi5t6xuMKPXK9D2k7C8f3eH90z3H28UIRKj4hK5-OXbZTsU6JHuD-9LkldZmu_ToZgq9fXQgV&sig=AHIEtbSAoEwjICKxVC4Wn5PnvsxxKIdEyA

The US Postal Inspection Service has been arresting people who have bought films made by AZOV films. Movies depict underage boys. Is that what Forrest was looking at?
http://en.boywiki.org/wiki/Azov_Films_Prosecutions Starting in 2012, some US customers of Azov Films have been arrested and charged with receipt and possession of child pornography: some of the nude visual material has been construed as illegal by US Law Enforcement Officers ("LEO's"), including agents of the United States Postal Inspection Service.
