Dustin Paxton convicted of assault, not confinement



Dustin Paxton has been found guilty in a Calgary courtroom of aggravated assault against his former business partner and roommate, but not of unlawful confinement.

Justice Sheilah Martin still has to rule on a charge of sexual assault, but said there was overwhelming evidence that Paxton treated the man as his personal servant and "whipping post."

Paxton's victim was dropped off at a Regina hospital in April 2010 weighing 87 pounds, suffering from numerous broken bones and a mutilated face.

Martin said the man, who cannot be identified under a publication ban, was repeatedly assaulted by Paxton in Calgary and Regina and that the list of injuries is lengthy and grotesque.

She is currently discussing the unlawful confinement charge against Paxton, saying she accepts that Paxton's abuse included economic manipulation — often a factor in forcible confinement.

The tragedy is that he tortured the victim and the criminal code doesn't cover torture it just covers assault. So in Stephen Harper's world a pot grower will get more jail time than someone who commits acts of torture.

Journalists on Twitter claim Paxton has now also been found guilty of sexual assault.

We know the victim had previously been an insignificant witness in a Hells Angels murder trail. We know that drugs and crystal meth was involved. If Dustin Paxton sold crystal meth, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who his supplier was.

The unlawful confinement aspect of the case was tragic. The victim could have left but didn't. That leads us to wonder why he didn't leave as though some larger threat was being held over him. We did read in the trial that the victim claimed in police reports that his assailant would drive him to other places to be beaten which does imply more than one person was involved. We did hear the hospital where the victim was dropped off made a public apology for mistakenly releasing the victims family information for a large tattooed man who showed up at the hospital where he was dropped off asking about him. We know the large tattooed man was no Paxton. He was skinny and scrawny.

Paxton trial update



The Paxton torture trial continues. A lot of very strange objections to strange technicalities that don't matter and not a word about who the victim told the police Paxton took him to to be beaten. If this guy walks over strange technicalities, that would truly be a real tragedy. The laws do not properly define torture in the criminal code as it is. Giving him nothing would be an outrage.

Paxton torture victim speaks in court



Another update: This article describes some of the victim's injuries that were obviously caused by assaults and also claims court records state the victim was an intravenous drug user.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Now Renee is threatening to post my home address again as well as my daughter’s name on the Internet. That woman is inherently evil.



-----------------------------------------------------------

The other thing I have to say is about the two earth shattering new developments in the Paxton Torture trial. In today's Vancouver Province we read that the torture victim finally took the stand and answered the question we've been dying to have an answer to for so long. Why on earth did he stay in a relationship where he was literally getting tortured when he had opportunities to leave.

That has been the cutting question that has lead to so much speculation about the motive that Internet forums bursting with opinions are now quiet due to a court publication ban on the victims name. Yet we all know who it is. We all know the mother who hadn't seem that son in over ten years hired a professional media consultant to help her fund raise for the victim's medical fees and to help her family cope. The victim's biological father and the victim's biological daughter didn't get a dime.

We all know that the victim had testified in a Hells angels murder trail many years ago. We all know that his mother and brother lied about the circumstances surrounding that trial. He didn't just live in the same neighbourhood as where a gang related shooting took place. He and his brother were friends with the shooter. The shooter stayed with them for a few days in their home after he shot the Hells angels associate because he didn't want to pay the drug debt he owned him.

I have not named any names. There is a publication ban on the name of the victim. Yet the facts surrounding this case are part of the public domain and are protected by the inherit right to free speech. Given the victim's association with the shooter, it was my theory that the Hells Angels wanted to punish the shooter by torturing one of his friends. They had already shot the guy's brother in retaliation. Yet Sean Wolfe and Dale Donovan really liked the young drug dealer that looked like he was 12 years old. So much so Dale (Deli) had a tattoo of the we lad as a memorial. So the police claimed in court. When the target was shot the people that called 911 thought a 12 year old kid had been hit.

That was my theory. Others thought crystal meth was involved. They thought the cuts, the scabs, the weight loss all looked like a Crystal meth addiction. Others though he stayed in that horrifically abusive relationship because they were gay and he had the battered wife syndrome. Personally I thought that one was absurd. Yet Paxton has also been charged with sexual assault as well as aggravated assault and unlawful confinement.

So today the victim takes the stand and finally tells us what we have all been dying to know. Why did he stay in that horrifically abusive relationship when he had opportunities to leave. His biological mother who hadn't seen him in over ten years blamed the mother of his daughter for the abuse when she was the one that called the police and reported him missing and she asked him to leave but he said no. Others claim he stayed because Paxton threatened to kill his daughter. But no. Today we hear what the victim clams the reason was that he refused to leave.

Crown prosecutor Joe Mercier asked why he didn't leave. "I could have, but I would have thought of myself as a sissy for giving up like that." Despite the beating, the two were soon sharing a house. "We were getting along fine, only because I was doing whatever he said." "Why did you do that?" asked Mercier.

"I didn't want to get beat. He was getting more violent every single day. Every day there was an incident." Paxton smirked and shook his head as he listened to the testimony. The man went on to describe being punched, choked unconscious "about 1,000 times," and being hit variously with a cane, a dog leash and an extension cord. "I looked liked a guy who just got beat up. Always."

Although he said Paxton would beat him daily, Paxton didn't give reasons for the beatings. "My survival instinct kicked in. I still hung out with Dustin, even though I was getting beaten," the man said. "It was literally on a daily basis. He'd either hit me with a cane or a leash, constantly threw me around."

He said anything would set Paxton off, including taking leftovers for lunch or buying the wrong brand of bread. "He totally . . . beat the s--t out of me."

I'm sorry son but that doesn't cut it. It doesn't pass the test of believability. He had opportunities to leave but didn't. Instead he chose to endure horrific abuse and torture because he thought he's be a Sissy if he left. That simply doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Not even for a nice guy with brain injuries who is coached by a fruitcake.

They didn't ask him about the crystal meth Paxton's former victim and former girlfriend testified they all did together. They didn't ask if he recognized a man by the name of Tiny Mac. One of Sean Wolfe and Dale Donavan's friends who lived in the area at the time. So the victim has spoken and we still don't have any answers. It doesn't look like we'll get any either in this life.

Oh yeah, the other bombshell. Dustin Paxton's alleged torture victim told a Calgary courtroom Tuesday he performed sex acts on Paxton because he would have done anything to get the beatings to stop. Anything but leave when he had opportunities to do so. "Personally I thought it was disgusting, but I was in survival mode. I would do anything to not get beaten," he said.

Ah, there it is finally. He was asked about the drugs in cross examination. When the cross-examination started, defence lawyer Jim Lutz asked the man about drug use in the Centre Street house he shared with Paxton. The man said he smoked marijuana, but testified Paxton indulged in crystal meth. The man added that he quit meth at age 25.

OK so now the victim admits he did crystal meth but claims he quit when he was 25. That would contradict the testimony of Paxton's former girlfriend in the other trial. She said they all did crystal meth together. So the victim admits he did crystal meth in the past but quit when he was 25. So when their friend who shot the Hells angels drug dealer from the Zig Zag crew stayed in their home, did he and his brother do crystal meth then? Who did they buy it from?

Oh and here's another new development: Lutz reads from police transcript, in it AV says "He [Paxton] delivered me to people to get beat all the time." by KatyAnderson via twitter 11/2/2011 8:40:14 PM 1:40 PM That was the key suspicion. That Paxton wasn't the only person who beat him. That would imply others were involved. That would explain why leaving would be problematic.

One reader reminded me about the mysterious man who showed up at the hospital. I forgot to mention that and I do think it is very significant. We were told a large tattooed man showed up at the hospital in Regina after Paxton's victim was dropped off. We were told he acquired personal contact information for his family and the hospital made a public apology to the family for the security breach.

This is significant when we read how the defense pointed out the victim claimed in a previous police report Paxton would drive him places to be beaten by other people. We don't know who the mystery man is. We do know that Tiny Mac is a large tattooed man who was living in Calgary and doling business in Regina at the time. We know he and Sean Wolf were accused of threatening a young kid with a gun and beating him with a hammer but the kid refused to testify against them.

Dustin Paxton Trial



Update: Two new bombshells.

Dustin Paxton's trial is in the news. Paxton was smiling in the prisoner's box as Chutta testified. Today the Province reported Witness tells sexual torture trial of stick attacks on roommate. Well like that's not dramatic. It is a bizarre and tragic case, no question about it.

Dustin Ward Paxton used a 1.2-metre-long "bamboo stick" to slap his roommate's ears, and would scream swear words and derogatory comments at the bigger man as he smacked and kicked him, a witness testified Wednesday.

But the alleged victim, who apologized on his knees as the blows rained down, never struck back at the man he called his "blood brother," Robert Cannon told a Calgary court. This "new" witness, who seems to have a different name depending on which news article you read, claims he saw a great deal of physical abuse.

Why not phone the police then? I do recall hearing something about an anonymous 911 tip to the police that wasn't followed up on at the time. Two days ago the Province reported on the victim's former girlfriend's testimony in court. She is the mother of his child. We know who she is. I don't think there's a publication ban on her name but I won't risk it.

She said he was healthy and happy when he left Winnipeg to work with Paxton in Calgary. Soon after, he stopped answering her phone calls. Paxton told her the man had suffered a workplace accident and was in the hospital.

In the Calgary hospital, her ex-boyfriend was “very underweight. His eye socket was sunk in,” she testified before justice Sheila Martin. He had also dropped down to 120 pounds. When the victim was released from hospital, Paxton’s attitude became agitated and angry, the woman testified. He snapped at his roommate over everyday things, such as not properly putting away groceries, she said. Paxton once became so angry, he told the man to go to his room. “Mr. Paxton treated him like a piece of crap,” said the woman. She also claimed she asked him to leave and he said no. The other witness confirmed that in court.

The victim was dumped off at a hospital in Regina suffering horrific abuse. When the story first broke the traffic crashed my blog. There's something about torture that gets the public upset. Since there was such a delay in the arrest and trial there was a huge amount of speculations about what happened and why. The story was sent to me because the victim was originally a witness in an old Hells Angel murder trial.

A small kid named Trevor Savoie sold crack for the Hells Angels through the Zig Zag crew and a guy named Danny Tokarchuk that owed him money shot him dead to avoid paying the drug debt. Which wasn't necessarily a bright thing to do because the debt was ultimately to the Hells angels. He was convicted of murder and they also killed his brother in retaliation. There's a picture of Sean Wolfe comforting a man at Savoy's funeral.

In another trial the police testified that Deli, the Winnipeg Hells Angels president, was so upset about the murder of one of his beloved drug dealers he got a tattoo of the kid with his birth and death date as a memorial.

Paxton's victim's testimony in that trial was insignificant. He just testified that the shooter was a friend of his and his brothers and stayed in their home for a few days right after the shooting. He simply testified the shooter was acting very strange and feared for his life.

Of course people began to think the Hells angels were involved in the torture case. The family admittedly denied it but the family hadn't seen the victim in many years and I'm not sure they would admit it if the Hells Angels were involved.

I am perfectly willing to concede that it is very possible that Dustin Paxton acted alone and was solely responsible for the torture and abuse inflicted upon the victim. Yet I still don't understand why the victim stayed in that home when he had opportunities to leave. For me, the threat of gang retaliation made sense. For others, they though he was in a gay relationship and was suffering from the battered wife syndrome. I thought that was absurd at the time but now we keep hearing the terms sexual assault whenever the case is discussed in court.

I just thought all the factors were so ironic. Winnipeg, Calgary Regina. Sean Wolfe, Deli, Tiny Mac. It all looked so suspicious. Especially when we heard drugs were involved in the Paxton case. Paxton's former girlfriend claimed the three of them were doing crystal meth. I'm not sure if we'll ever find out the real reason he didn't leave. Today's paper said Paxton threatened to kill him if he told anyone. Perhaps that's all it was. Yet I'm still not convinced there wasn't more to the story. Especially since crystal meth was involved.

Dustin Paxton and Crystal Meth



Monday Dustin Paxton faced the beginning of three trials on 11 charges against 4 people. Paxton is accused of the aggravated assault and forcible confinement of his former girlfriend, who was 17-years-old at the time and cannot be identified.

News reports claim he met her at the Mustard Seed in Calgary when she was homeless and addicted to crystal meth. She claims their relationship became increasingly violent but did not report it to the police. Officers learned of the assaults while investigating the beating of Paxton’s former roommate.

The incidents involving his roommate, who also cannot be named, allegedly took place over a 14-month period. In April 2010, the victim was dropped off at a Saskatchewan hospital severely malnourished. The room mate cannot be named but we all know who he is and we all wish him well.

What I still find inconceivable is the motive. Not the motive of the twisted offender but the motive of the viciously abused room mate. Why on earth did he stay in such a horrifically abusive relationship when he had opportunities to leave?

The case involving Paxton's girlfriend introduces crystal meth into the equation. Some claimed Paxton sold drugs. Others claimed Carl Nyberg, an employee of the same small moving company, had ripped off the Hells Angels and had disappeared. It was that missing room mate's car they drove from Calgary to Regina.

This new artcile claims the woman who Paxton assaulted was a self-admitted drug addict at the time and she said she started frequently staying at Paxton's home where she would spend her days smoking marijuana and using crystal meth with Paxton and his roommate.

If Paxton sold drugs, who did he sell them for? I know there is a great deal of effort to portray Paxton as a wacko who is a repeat offender of violence and is solely responsible for the injuries his former room mate incurred. I know the family admittedly denies that the Hells Angels were involved in any way, shape or form.

They claim the fact that the former room mate who was tortured at one time testified in a murder trial where someone he and his brother knew, murdered a beloved Hells Angels associate had absolutely nothing to do with the motive behind the torture and injuries Paxton inflicted upon him.

Perhaps not. Yet Dale Donovan, Sean Wolf and Corey MacInnis were all friends and associates. Corey, known as Tiny Mac, was a founding member of the Winnipeg Hells Angels and was friends with Sean Wolfe who became if not a Sargent in arms for the chapter at least an enforcer. Corey and Sean were accused of threatening a young drug dealer with a gun and beating him with a hammer. Those charges were dropped when the victim refused to testify.

Dale Donovan was the chapter president. Dale and Sean were eventually convicted of cocaine trafficking. The Zig Zag crew paid the Winnipeg Hells Angels protection money so the Zig Zag crew could sell crack for the Hells angels. Famous Amos from the Zig Zag crew was caught on video cutting crack cocaine for the Hells angels while the bobsy twins were reported to tell the Zig Zag crew members if they were having trouble paying their protection money, they should get a real job as well as selling drugs.

The point is, Dale and Sean really liked Trevor Savoie. Trever was a small kid who sold drugs for the Hells angels through the Zig Zag crew. The police claim that Dale was so upset about his murder that he got a tattoo of the young kid as a memorial. This photo is of Sean Wolfe comforting a friend at Trevor's funeral.

Corey MacInnis escaped conviction in the Zig Zag crew round up because he had moved to Calgary after he was stabbed and had his deadheads covered up with a pair of ugly fish. Yet he still continued to be an associate. He later advertised for a Calgary tattoo parlor that sold bongs and drug related paraphernalia.

The Paxton torture case drew a lot of attention on the Internet. Everyone and their dog were discussing every conspiracy theory possible to try and figure out why the room mate stayed to endure that kind of horrific abuse. Some thought he was addicted to crystal meth and stayed for the drug. Others thought the threat of being hunted down by the Hells angels caused him to stay. Others thought he was in a gay relationship and stayed for the same reason a battered wife would.

No one knows the real reason he stayed and I highly doubt the real reason will ever come out in court. Someone contacted me and claimed Tiny Mac was involved. Others claimed he was abducted by aliens. Personally, I think if drugs were involved in any way, so were the Hells Angels. I would think that argument would have more merit then the claim it was aliens.

Yet the fact remains. Dale Donovan, Sean Wolf and Corey MacInnis were friends and associates. Dale and Sean were in prison but Corey was living in Calgary at the time. If Paxton was selling drugs it is highly unlikely he was a free agent.

The fact remains that Dale and Sean were very upset about the murder of Trevor Savoie. The room mate's mother lied and said the only reason her son testified in that trial was because he lived in the same neighbourhood as gang members. In reality, the son who was tortured and his brother both knew the shooter. The shooter stayed in their home briefly after committing the murder.

Point granted, the room mate who was tortured's testimony in that Hells angels murder trial was insignificant. He simply said yes the shooter stayed in his home with his brother for a few days after the shooting and was acting very erratic. Yet we all know that when the Hells angels retaliate, they retaliate against someone's friends and family as well.

Like I said, I highly doubt we will ever know who else was involved in that torture case. We do know Paxton was because the room mate said so and he will go on trial for it. The fact remains the Hells Angels were deeply involved in the drug trade in Winnipeg and used violence and extortion to control it.

Dustin Paxton and the Torture Victim



Paxton has been found guilty of assault not confinement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very old thread. Both forums are shut down.
Paxton has started his first trial. They did crystal meth.
------------------------------------------------------------------

More new developments in Paxton's trial.
Most recently there are two new bombshells.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The comments on this thread froze at 13,000 then was reset to 10,000 and stayed frozen. There is now a forum set up to handle the traffic discussing this case. Buyer Beware. The Dustin LaFortune torture case has reopened the Danny Tokarchuk murder trial.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Well there's been some new developments in the Dustin LaFortune torture case. Seemingly the name of his Calgary room mate is Dustin Paxton. He ran a moving company called 'Two GUYS and a Truck' in Calgary. The business was operated out of this house 4203 Centre St NW, Calgary, AB T2E 2Y8. Paxton has since been arrested and the trial is ongoing.



Dustin LaFortune was dumped off at the Regina General Hospital with serious injuries after being missing for two months. The Vancouver Province reports that a resident at 2158 Halifax St. in Regina near that hospital recognizes the photo of Dustin's room mate.

LaFortune went missing in Calgary where neighbours saw signs of violence and ended up being dropped off at the Regina General Hospital. It would appear that the two have been living at 2158 Halifax Street in Regina since mid March. Let's hope more information is forth coming and that Dustin LaFortune has a full recovery.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

However, I will say this, the amount of rage, denial and dishonesty regarding any theories of what the motive could have been are very suspicious.

The understandable public outcry has turned into a commercial circus while anyone who simply asks questions the family don’t want asked are raged upon and deleted. Something just doesn’t sit right. This is the other photo people say looks like Paxton:



I am told that someone posted it on the facebook group after I left and the brother raged on them and swore at them calling them idiots and said that he knew it was Savoie not Paxton because he knew what Savoie looked like. However ,other sources claim that SW was in the Zig Zag crew first and didn't get his Hells Angels patch unlit he got out of prison in 2004.

Savoie was killed in 2000. That means it's not possible that the picture is of Savoie and the brother lied. I wonder why? The trust fund on the new web site sure looks like it's going well. Looks like Ryan finally found la fortune.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's some more numbers. Ryan is so full of rage and denial about the Hells Angels being involved he will delete any thread that talks or asks about it.

Yet the court said in the Tokarchuk trial that both Tokarchuk and Savoie sold drugs for the Hells Angels through the Zig Zag crew. The trial also said that Ryan and Dustin were both friends with Tokarchuk and he stayed with them for two nights in 2002 around the time of the murder. The trial was in 2004. The gf claims Ryan hadn't been in touch with Dustin for 6 years. Why did Ryan lose contact with his brother after that trial?

-----------------------------------------------------------

Someone compiled a time line and sent it to me so I posted it. It's hard to sift through all the drama in this case but there are some facts present. Cheers.

----------------------------------------------------------

New development: Seemingly Carl was an employee of the moving company and lived with Paxton and Lafortune in Calgary. Seemingly Carl was addicted to crack and has disappeared. So if he was addicted to crack, where did he get it from?

--------------------------------------------------------

One thing is certain is that this case has drawn a lot of facebook drama. Most of which has not been healthy. Helping find leads to solve the case is fine but obsessing over mudslinging just isn't right.

I will add that a trust fund has been set up in memory of a little girl who was murdered. The little girl is dead. She's not getting the money. The trust fund was set up to help the family cope.

Yes there are a lot of strange things happening with this case. Seeing two sides and their supporters fight back and forth is like watching a dysfunctional family fight over an inheritance. Yet spending all our time trying to find dirt on the victim's mother or on the mother of his child is very counter productive.

-----------------------------------------------------

OK let’s try comment moderation for a bit. These trolls are just plain juvenile. I’ll be away from the computer for a while but will approve comments when I get back. Enjoy the day. Cheers.

-----------------------------------------------------

Yes there seems to be a technical issue with the blog. I have no idea why. I can’t even post a comment to the DL thread. I can post a comment to other threads which makes no sense whatsoever. It just seems to be stuck at an old page with trolls. I’m heading off camping but will be back Thursday to check on things. BTW This thread still works. Cheers.

-----------------------------------------------------

OK here’s the deal: It appears that the comments on the DL blog entry have crashed after 10,000 comments. I’m deleting the troll spam but that is a long and painful process. As I delete the spam, more recent messages that disappeared are starting to reappear.

Another forum to discuss the case is at:
