By Susan Clark Armstrong, FLCGA News<\/a><\/strong> \u2013\u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attorney Ray Forbess Jr. held a commanding lead in his Clay County race for judge and had just been endorsed by the sheriff when he began to hear some bad things about himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folks in the rural northeast Florida county began chattering that the 38-year old Forbess, a married father and former prosecutor with an untarnished reputation, had bragged about setting pedophiles free for his work at the Forbess Law Firm founded in nearby Jacksonville by his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rumors spread to social media and then on July 7 a website run by a close Roger Stone associate named Jacob Engels published an attack piece on Forbess headlined “FL Judicial Candidate Helped Pedophiles & Child Molesters \u2018Get Off\u2019 In Private Practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engels, who was removed from Facebook and Instagram in 2020 for “inauthentic behavior,\u201d wrote that Forbess “boasted on his law firm website about defending at least 20 child molesters or pedophiles.\u201d The operative cited as proof “success stories\u201d that had been archived on the Forbess Law Firm website about the dismissal of disturbing child sex abuse cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days later, on July 9, a conspiracy theory-spreading site called Big League Politics picked up Engels\u2019 story, alleging in its headline that Forbess “sought out alleged pedophiles [and] bragged about helping them beat sex crime charges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hit pieces, however, were false. The cases cited weren\u2019t represented by candidate Forbess, but by a Jacksonville attorney named Victoria Mussallem who left the firm in 2011, five years before Ray joined his dad\u2019s firm. Forbess said he had never seen Musallem\u2019s archived web pages until he heard the rumors and they were quickly taken down.<\/p>\n\n\n

But that didn\u2019t stop people, many of them anonymous, from sending him nasty emails laced with expletives, said Forbess, telling him he should “burn in hell\u201d and other “inappropriate stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If I\u2019ve done something, I will always come clean with it,\u201d Forbess said. “And that was what\u2019s so sad to me \u2013 I\u2019m getting attacked for something that is not me. I can show that it\u2019s not me. I was at the State Attorney\u2019s office at the time, wasn\u2019t even working at the firm, and I\u2019m getting attacked for something that is not true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said his wife, who works at the Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office, has also received abusive texts and he\u2019s concerned about how the attacks could affect his six-year-old son in the normally tight-knit community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I worry about him at school or hanging out with his friends,\u201d said Forbess, his voice cracking with emotion. “And have the parents read this article that\u2019s not true? Are they going to think differently about my son because something was written about me that is not true?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judicial elections are supposed to be above such spurious and sensational attacks. The non-partisan races are considered sacrosanct and subject to an exacting set of rules in the state\u2019s Code of Judicial Conduct called Canon 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each candidate must swear in writing that they\u2019ve read and understand the requirements of Canon 7, which demands that they “refrain from any inappropriate political activity\u201d and that any criticism of opponents be truthful. The rules, which are overseen by the Florida Supreme Court, extend to their family members and campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the special nature of judicial elections, the false whisper-and-smear campaign aimed at Forbess has come to dominate the Clay County race. And a close look at how it grew shows that a pair of competing campaigns may have run afoul of Canon 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birth of a smear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbess\u2019s opponents in the race are Geraldine Hartin, a lawyer in private practice specializing in real estate, estate planning and family law, and Tonya Barge, a prosecutor who worked at the State Attorney\u2019s office in Jacksonville and transferred to the SA\u2019s office in Clay County last October.<\/p>\n\n\n

Johns denied passing the information to the other candidates. He told FLCGA News that “all candidates were well aware\u201d of the information on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musallem\u2019s archived “success stories,\u201d credited to Forbess, caused a stir among parishioners at the large Hibernia Baptist Church on Fleming Island. Congregants appeared to be split: Some wanted Forbess exposed in the media; others who respected him just wanted to know the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who did the judging, and the ones who tried not to, all said the source of the information was church member Diane Hutchings, who is the elected Clay County Tax Collector, and her daughter Ashley Hutchings Gilhousen, a school board member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both mother and daughter are supporters of candidate Hartin. FLCGA News obtained copies of texts from Gilhousen spreading the so-called “Forbess files.\u201d While Hutchings refused to comment on the smear, daughter Gilhousen said she only shared the information with “a couple of close personal friends\u201d and denied sending any texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When questioned, Gilhousen said she was unaware that Forbess didn\u2019t represent the defendants in the sex crimes cases and wasn\u2019t even at the firm at the time. She maintained that the existence of cases, even if they aren\u2019t tied directly to the candidate, is “very troubling\u201d for the Forbess firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with FLCGA News, candidate Hartin said she was familiar with the Forbess allegations but said she too didn\u2019t know her opponent wasn\u2019t involved with the cases being used in the attack. She said Forbess still bears responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If [Musallem] is not there and it was her cases, it\u2019s their website, in their control,\u201d she said of Forbess and his father. “\u2026 That is something they should have looked into and owned the responsibility for their website.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pressed on Canon 7 rules regarding integrity and inappropriate political activity, Hartin said she would “chat\u201d with Hutchings and her daughter Gilhousen about the matter. “I will look into what\u2019s happened,\u201d Hartin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barge\u2019s hired gun spreads false story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big League Politics story alleging Forbess sought out pedophiles was disseminated by Barge\u2019s top campaign advisor, Brian Graham, to constituents around the county in text messages, one of which was shared with FLCGA News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham is also a known associate of Engels, the blogger who wrote the initial smear piece on Forbess. On at least two occasions Engels has cited Graham, a past chairman of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans, as a political expert on his website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County election records show that Barge\u2019s campaign has paid Graham\u2019s political consulting firm at least $7,500 for his services to date.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Tonya Barge<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

That Graham actively spread false information while working for Barge could obviously be problematic for the candidate. FLCGA News attempted to contact Barge, but calls, voicemails, and text messages went unreturned. Calls to Graham went unanswered as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just what effect the stories will have on the August 23 vote is impossible to know, but Forbess said it\u2019s not slowing down his efforts to reach voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Judicial candidates are held to a higher standard to ensure the integrity of our local courts remain strong,\u201d said Forbess. “Trying to win \u2018at all costs\u2019 is a grave violation that betrays public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbess said he\u2019s represented less than ten defendants who had been charged with sex crimes during the six and a half years he\u2019s been in private practice, a small percentage of his total clients. Most of them, he said, were violation of probation cases and only one involved a young child. In that instance, the defendant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison, said Forbess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He doesn\u2019t apologize for that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our country was formed on having due process,\u201d he said. “That\u2019s the backbone of our legal system. Everybody gets due process, no matter what you are charged with. And shying away from that is horrific for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
