In July of 2024, Inside Investigator received two emails telling of Wesley Inman, a man who claimed to be a direct descendent of Jesus Christ embroiled in two court cases. One of those tips came from Inman himself, the other from an unknown source with an encrypted email. Both told the same story.
“You guys may want to look into this. Guy claims to be related [to Jesus Christ],” the unknown source wrote. “The prosecutors and others seem to have it out for this guy but the bailiffs and clerks and everyone there loves him. It’s gaining momentum and no one else sees it. Last time like a dozen women came to sit and watch this dude all trying to impress him and this guy wanted none of it LMAO.”
Inman confirmed all this to Inside Investigator in July through email – he says he is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ, has only 24 chromosomes, and that he is working with a “lab in Israel” that has Jesus Christ’s blood on file.
Inman, a former bodybuilder convicted for steroid distribution in 2010, wrote to share he was in a custody battle with his former girlfriend of nine years, Olya Conterez, a Russian immigrant with whom they share a daughter. Inman claimed he was the victim of a court conspiracy to take away his children, and that Conterez was engaged in “child trafficking.” He said he had alerted the FBI, who were “looking into it.”
“I assure you that anyone brave enough to take on this case will have the story of a lifetime,” Inman wrote. “If anyone gives it a chance, it will be the top story in the entire Nation once revealed and not only that it may assist in me rightfully getting my children back.”
The court record, however, paints a darker picture. Since the custody battle between Conterez and Inman began in February of 2024, Inman has been arrested four times for restraining order violations, and has made dozens of court filings with many worrisome claims that range from bizarre to threatening and frightening.
It is a family court case that strains credulity and comes amidst growing outcry by family court reform advocates, who say the court system ignores domestic abuse – both documented and alleged – and is enabling former partners to perpetrate further financial and emotional abuse on their victims.
During a custody trial in August of 2024, Conterez stated she initially wanted 50/50 parenting time with Inman after they separated. She said Inman had been a good father to their daughter; he worked from home most of the time operating an online business, while Conterez worked at a bank.
However, in the months leading up to and following their separation, Conterez testified she grew increasingly worried as she believed Inman’s mental health was deteriorating, making her fearful for both herself and her daughter. She was now seeking full legal and physical custody until Inman received psychiatric help.
“He was telling me that he’s a dark angel,” Conterez testified at trial, according to transcripts. “Dark angel is assassin from God on a mission here to hunt down and kill all the evil, which I guess would include me since he claims that I’m a Satan worshiper and Lucifer.”
“Since we broke up, he’s getting worse and worse by the day,” Conterez testified. “And the scary part of that is that he doesn’t just have those delusions, but he goes around, he tells everybody about his delusional state, making those statements, and he takes it up with authorities. So, he shows his ability and desire to take tangible actions on the craziness that go through his head.”
Conterez was not the only one troubled by Inman’s seemingly abrupt change. Another ex-girlfriend of Inman, with whom he shares another daughter, claimed in a June 2024 restraint order application that Inman “has progressed rapidly with his terrifying and delusional mental health.”
“He’s claiming he’s an FBI agent and that he’s going to Israel due a national security threat,” Jennifer wrote in a June 27, 2024, affidavit. “He states I’m a co-conspirator with Olya Conterez in previous murder cases… He is unpredictable with his behaviors. My daughter and I are terrified of him.”
This is not hearsay; it is presented by Inman himself in multiple court documents, affidavits, complaints purportedly submitted to the FBI and other law enforcement organizations, and emails to attorneys that were presented as exhibits throughout Inman and Conterez’s custody battle.
In numerous court documents submitted over a short period of time, Inman has claimed publicly and argued in writing:
- That he is a direct descendent of Jesus Christ.
- That he is “Michael the Archangel” and has only 24 chromosomes.
- That he is a former intelligence operative for multiple federal government agencies.
- That Conterez is a CIA operative funneling illegal funds through her employer.
- That Conterez is engaged in “child trafficking, torture, rape, murder, and ritual sacrifice.”
- That Conterez is Satan who can shapeshift and does so in the courtroom.
- That Conterez practices witchcraft and conducts satanic rituals in her back yard.
- That he is half demon and half angel in a human body sent by God to defeat evil.
- That he is only subject to the Law of Divinity and is immune to criminal and civil court.
- That Conterez secreted death threats into the drawings of her daughter that only he can discern.
In an long email sent to an attorney in August of 2024, just weeks before the custody trial, Inman lays out his extensive beliefs about his and his family’s supernatural origins, his personal cosmology, and a laundry list of conspiracy theories involving the CIA, vaccines, homosexuals, child trafficking, and the Vatican before writing that, “Suicide weekend will come soon.”
“Olya is Azrael. She is my twin sister. Olya is also called Lilith, Morningstar, Lucifer or Satan. Olya is the one who deceived Eve using the apple on Earth,” Inman wrote in the August 5, 2024, email to his attorney at the time. “I am 50% demon and 50% angel in a human body. We are talking Spirit. My spirit is Michael the Archangel. I am he. But, I had to be transformed here to defeat Satan.”
“August 30th is the last day, Suicide weekend will come soon,” Inman continued. “This is a day the CIA will begin to kill many of its own. August 24th is the blue moon, this is when they will use CERN and other creations to bring additional demons to Earth. And this will work.”
In an email just a few hours earlier, Inman claimed he “solved the entire Child Trafficking and sexual trafficking ring,” before going on to write: “My name is Wesley Charles, but my God GIVEN name is Michael. I am a bit infamous. I am revealing all because it is the end.”
The attorney – who represented Inman’s other ex-girlfriend, found the emails “troubling” and forwarded them to Conterez’s attorney at the time, Cassidy Crough.
The emails were entered as exhibits and Judicial Marshals were alerted, necessitating a “welfare check” on Inman, according to a Brookfield Police incident report. Inman was found sitting in court at the time. According to the report, the Judicial Marshal’s indicated they would contact Connecticut State Police “to assess if Inman was in need of being transported to the hospital for crisis intervention.”
Inman also sent sexualized and inappropriate emails to Conterez’s attorney calling her a “sexy little thing,” and claimed that she was “undressing me with your eyes,” during court hearings. In an ex parte motion, Inman claimed Conterez was in a relationship with another woman in the courtroom – later identified as attorney Crough’s intern during the trial. Both Conterez and the intern denied a personal relationship.
Although he regularly wrote in court filings that Conterez and many others were under investigation by federal law enforcement agencies, or oversight committees, under questioning during trial, Inman admitted that he had made complaints but could not confirm whether an investigation was pending. Indeed, it appears some of his claims come up short.
A police report filed by the Brookfield Police Department noted that Inman had claimed to have spoken with an FBI agent by the name of “Grady,” but when BPD reached out to agent Grady at the New Haven field office, Grady said he’d never heard of Inman. Likewise, Inman claimed Conterez was involved in – or, at least, a “person of interest” – in the death of a New Milford man, but the New Milford Police Department denied she was ever a person of interest.
Inman faces three felony charges and one misdemeanor charge for violating restraining orders – something he denies and is fighting in court. He has to wear a GPS monitor and has been on house arrest since July after he allegedly removed his monitor and traveled to Florida for vacation. He was arrested by Marshals, and transported back to Connecticut. While Inman claims he did nothing wrong when he traveled to Florida — and that the monitor was broken and fell off — the GPS system alerted Conterez and she reportedly had to go into hiding until he was found.
Inman has also claimed that Conterez is stalking him, asserting in an August motion that Conterez was driving different cars, and that, “Eyewitness testimony reveals that Olya Conterez has stalked Inman for many years. At which point she claims to be the victim.” Those eyewitnesses were his sister and mother.
Based on the voluminous filings, multiple arrests, and range of bizarre and, at times, threatening claims made by Inman – who cycled through three different attorneys during his custody case before representing himself at trial – one might think this would be an open and shut case with Conterez securing custody of their daughter.
It wasn’t. Inman won his custody battle.
Following a three-day trial in Danbury Superior Court, Judge Heidi G. Winslow awarded Inman joint custody, disregarding the recommendations of the guardian ad litem (GAL), downplaying Inman’s claims as “alternative religious beliefs,” and cutting off attorney Crough’s cross examination of Inman on the third day of trial because Winslow found it “boring.”
“Mr. Inman let the Court know that the Court does not have jurisdiction as he is a descendant of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” Inman wrote in a July 17 motion. “By this right, Inman has the Law of Divinity otherwise known as the doctrine in which states that Gods law supersedes all mans law.”
“Rightfully so, Mr. Inman is immune to both the Criminal Court and Civil Court,” he wrote. “Mr. Inman has derived authority from God and therefore could not be held accountable for any actions by any earthly authority such as a Judge or Legislature or Parliament.”
Pleading The Fifth
The custody trial took place over three days in August of 2024. During that trial, Inman questioned Conterez extensively on the witness stand about the intimate and occasionally violent details of their relationship.
Conterez was seeking sole legal and physical custody of their daughter with “measures in place for Mr. Inman to get psychiatric evaluation and psychiatric help, medical treatment, so he can restore his mental abilities to be able to care for his daughter hopefully in the future,” Conterez testified. “At this point in time, I don’t think he’s capable of taking care of a minor child.”
Inman, however, claimed in court documents that Conterez was trying to alienate him from his daughter, and that the law firm representing Conterez – and, indeed, his own lawyers – were essentially colluding with the GAL to take his daughter away from him.
In an emergency ex parte application seeking full custody filed in July, Inman claims, “There is an immediate risk to the psychological harm to the child,” and, “Mrs. Conterez has repeatedly engaged in Parental Alienation and custodial interference.”
Inman cycled through three attorneys leading up to the trial, dismissing one for allegedly colluding with the GAL and opposing counsel; the second withdrew from Inman’s case on his own accord and left Inman struggling with financial paperwork; and the third, Inman dismissed for siding with Conterez’s attorneys, according to a June “memorandum of law,” submitted by Inman and interview comments.
In the lengthy memorandum, Inman claims all three attorneys “accused me of being anxious, jittery, unlikeable, possibly mental health (sic), PTSD or drugs.” Inman claims in that document that he supplied those attorneys with “my own Psych report and drug testing and they discredit it every single time.”
The disagreements left Inman representing himself, giving him the opportunity to question his ex-girlfriend — who was claiming that he had abused her — on the stand about everything from who said what, to their sex life.
Under questioning by Inman, Conterez stated that Inman had become increasingly jealous, suspicious, and verbally abusive toward her, and that the two of them had “mutual fights” that involved choking, scratching, and hitting. Conterez stated she only hit back in self-defense. Conterez testified that she feared for her life when Inman was “on top of me on bed strangling me,” during a January 7, 2024, incident that was not reported to police. Inman then grilled her on an anniversary card she sent to him on January 9 that year, arguing it disputed her claims.
During her testimony, Conterez also claimed Inman raped her but had never made a police report, and conceded that she had “never made that claim before today.”
Inman asked Conterez whether she ever asked Inman to rape her over the objections of Conterez’s attorney. Although Judge Winslow did not allow Crough to question Inman on multiple “absolutely vile” pleadings he submitted making these claims, she did allow Inman to question Conterez about them. He argued it “shows the mental status of the plaintiff,” according to transcripts.
Inman also made claims in court documents that it was Olya who was abusive and questioned Conterez extensively, submitting purported photographs of his injuries as evidence. Similarly, Inman had never filed a police report alleging abuse.
But Inman also used his time to challenge the GAL’s findings and present his mother and sister as witnesses – who both testified that they believe in his divine lineage when cross-examined by Crough.
Rebecca Mayo Goodrich, GAL for the minor daughter in the case, agreed that Conterez should have full legal and physical custody of their daughter with no visitation until Inman received treatment, showed more mental stability, and the restraining orders were lifted.
Goodrich was clearly concerned with Inman’s mental state, recommending in her report that Inman “undergo a hair follicle test to confirm he is negative for all illicit substances;” undergo a psychological evaluation and “follow all recommendations set forth by the selected evaluator including but not limited to individual counseling and medication management;” and, finally, that Inman get a full neurological examination, including MRI testing “to rule out that Respondent is suffering from an underlying medical condition that has caused to present with delusional thoughts.”
Goodrich testified she found Inman to be “very rude,” and “disrespectful,” with trouble concentrating and “very grandiose ideas and conspiracy theories.” Under questioning as to why she only spent a limited amount of time at Inman’s residence during a home evaluation, Goodrich essentially testified that she felt she was being misled during the home visit.
Goodrich said her visit was supposed to show what a “random Tuesday afternoon” would look like, and instead the family began showing up with presents. Goodrich said she left after it became “very chaotic,” and afterward emailed Inman not to “stage” home visits.
Inman told the judge he was trying to establish that Goodrich’s visit was “fraudulent,” and that she did not use the opportunity to “speak with everybody there.”
Goodrich also testified that she believed Inman’s “demeanor, his presentation, his observations, his interaction has quickly deteriorated,” before testifying to a number of claims Inman had made, including Conterez being involved in the death of a New Milford man; that she was a “CIA Russian operative;” that she was part of a child abuse and human trafficking ring; “was part of a satanic culture, risk that she was, you know, sacrificing individuals;” and that Inman claimed to be a descendant of Jesus.
“It’s alarming that Mr. Inman does not understand the magnitude of what he is saying and how farfetched they can be, and that he’s repeatedly saying these things, not just to me, or his pleadings to other various Courts and other documents,” Goodrich testified. “Every child should have an ability to have a healthy relationship with their parents respectively as individuals and as a unit. And right now, I don’t know whether or not Mr. Inman is in a stable and fit spot in his life to be able to co-parent [the child] to make sure that [the child] is not in danger if she’s with him. And that’s really concerning.”
A series of monthly reports submitted by the daughter’s therapist stated the girl felt “uncomfortable” at Inman’s house and “expressed significant anger and dislike towards her father,” according to a December 17 report.
“Based on the information that I have, my view of the situation is that [the daughter] should not be with her father until he receives mental health help and further mental health evaluation to determine that he would be safe for her,” Jenna Gleason, LPC-A, wrote in a September 2024 report.
Inman claims the therapist was influenced by Conterez to write those things, and that Gleason had never met with him to make such an assessment, in an interview with Inside Investigator.
When cross-examined by attorney Crough about his emails and his many claims ranging from being Michael the Archangel and the descendent of Jesus Christ to Conterez being a CIA operative involved in satanism, child trafficking and ritualistic murder, Inman pleaded the fifth amendment purportedly on the advice of his criminal attorney, even though he had already admitted to some of it in court.
Judge Winslow, herself, questioned Inman on several of his claims, including his purported background working for a very short stint at federal agencies like U.S. Border Patrol; his lineage to Jesus Christ; the August 5 “Suicide weekend” email, and how he proposed to co-parent with someone “if you believe that she’s a devil who, you know, worships the devil.”
“It is up to you to convince me that you’re not so bonkers that you can be trusted with this child,” Judge Winslow said.
“Any Levelheaded Judge“
Inman did just what the judge asked him to: convinced her that he could be trusted with his daughter with an impassioned back and forth, pleading to Judge Winslow that he has essentially been railroaded by the justice system, and Conterez at every turn, and that he was being alienated from his child.
He made these claims all while asserting he had caught Conterez “performing witchcraft,” and that Conterez is filing restraining orders against him because she is upset that he left her and wants him back – all of which Conterez has categorically denied in court.
“Although I don’t agree with those beliefs, I believe she’s allowed to have those beliefs without harming my daughter. In fact, the only way I feel that Ms. Conterez was harming my daughter was from alienating, doing everything she can to keep her from me,” Inman said to Judge Winslow. “I’m fighting tooth and nail for my daughter. I’m fighting off false allegations… And I know that the only reason Olya does not want me to parent her is because she wishes to continue to punish me for leaving her. And I don’t think that’s fair, and I think the Court sees that.”
Inman was right; Judge Winslow did see it that way, suspending Crough’s cross examination of Inman regarding his financial statements on the third day because it was “boring” and not allowing Crough to make a closing argument.
Instead, Winslow essentially made her ruling – which included vacating a civil protection order Conterez had obtained against Inman by a previous judge, over the objection and without the consent of attorney Crough who had no time to explain to Conterez what was happening.
“There’s absolutely nothing that supports a claim that either of you represents a danger to the other and I suspect that any levelheaded judge would come to the same conclusion,” Judge Winslow said. “Mr. Inman has unconventional religious beliefs. He proselytizes those beliefs, that is he works to persuade others of his beliefs, and I do not read, however, into his unconventional religious persuasion, any threats or tendency towards violence. He does believe that certain people are good, certain people are evil, certain people are both. That does not constitute a threat as far as I can tell.”
Conterez had indeed said Inman was a good father in the past, the past was not her concern. Rather, as stated during the trial, she was concerned that he had become delusional and mentally unstable in the months leading up to and following the separation.
Regardless, Winslow granted joint custody to Inman with an every Wednesday and every other weekend schedule, along with the entire month of August (Conterez is given the entire month of July), and a week starting on Christmas, all of it unsupervised, and then chastised Conterez for violating Winslow’s previous visitation orders.
“[Inman] espouses grandiose claims about his powers to influence and control the courts. He has suggested in writing that he may be justified in disregarding the orders of the court. But it has actually been the plaintiff who withheld the child from the defendant in violation of the court’s visitation orders,” Winslow wrote in her decision. “The child will suffer harm to her emotions the longer she is kept away from her father.”
Judge Heidi G. Winslow is technically a retired judge who received more than $140,000 in pension payments in 2024, according to Connecticut’s open data website. Unlike other states like New York, in which parties must agree to assignment of a retired judge, in Connecticut you get who you get.
Winslow was reconfirmed to the court as a senior judge in 2017, following an uneventful, if not jovial, reappointment hearing before the Judiciary Committee. State representatives and senators who had either worked with Winslow or argued cases before her praised her as fair, straight-forward, knowledgeable of the law, and “very, very consistent.”
“I want you to know that we do appreciate and understand that the family assignments often are the most difficult and we certainly appreciate people who volunteer for those assignments, takes those assignments, and work through those because it’s a lynch pin of our system,” Rep. Steve Stafstrom, D-Bridgeport, said during the March 1, 2017, hearing.
Winslow’s term is set to end in April of 2025, and while she was up for reappointment in January, she withdrew her name from consideration. Conterez filed a lengthy grievance against Winslow with the Judicial Review Council on November 25, 2024.
Conterez alleges Winslow “committed judicial misconduct on numerous levels,” and, “her behavior and decision showed a misunderstanding of the law as it applies to protective orders and irrational decision making that directly places children in danger.”
“That day, Judge Winslow also did not allow Attorney Crough to do any closing arguments. Instead, she abruptly ended the process and stated her demands that we withdraw ALL the restraining and protective orders on record as of that date. She indicated that if we fail to do so, it will impact her final decision,” Conterez wrote in her grievance. “My attorney had no time to explain and communicate to me what this action would mean, and why the judge is stripping the protection for me and my daughters, under which circumstances Mr. Inman would resume following stalking, berating, and harassing me and my daughters. Absent the criminal protective order in place, it would also allow him to contact me and my children, and I cannot even explain the magnitude of my fear for [the child’s] safety and her psychological state, should she be subjected to Mr. Inman’s current mental condition.”
Among the laundry list of professional conduct and ethical issues raised in Conterez’s grievance was pressuring Conterez to withdraw protective orders; allowing Inman to “perform several hours of cross examination” which was used “as an opportunity to continue to harass, threaten and abuse me;” allowing Inman to file “inappropriate content bragging about rape,” disregarding the GAL testimony and written recommendations, and providing for “joint legal custody with a mentally ill, psychologically impaired parent who takes pleasure in harassing another parent,” in addition to many other points.
“Hon. Heidi G. Winslow’s decision is inappropriate, unethical and plain out dangerous,” Conterez wrote. “I am respectfully asking this Council to review and address her misconduct to ensure no family or child ever has to deal with this type of situation.”
The Judicial Council, however, dismissed the grievance on February 21, 2025, writing they had concluded their investigation and “determined on the basis of the facts before it, that there was no violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.” Conterez filed a motion to disqualify Winslow, and the case was subsequently transferred to another judge.
Conterez also appealed Winslow’s ruling, and the Appellate Court is reviewing the matter. However, the Appellate Court lifted its temporary stay of execution in November, meaning Winslow’s orders are in effect. The newest judge in the case has little wiggle room to modify Winslow’s orders because she already considered the evidence and filings and reached her conclusion. Pending a judgement from the Appellate Court, which can be a long, drawn-out process, the entire custody arrangement is in limbo, being modified and worked through in post-judgement filings and decisions.
The restraining order filed against Inman on behalf of his daughter was dropped in December and Inman has filed contempt motions against Conterez for not abiding by the visitation recommendations; he remains under house arrest and with an ankle monitor pending his criminal charges, making visitation tricky. Although the restraining order against Inman on behalf of his daughter was dropped in December, Conterez still has a restraining order and there has yet to be official arrangements made for a third party to facilitate the visit.
Inman, however, continues to press his claims and beliefs about Conterez in court filings and is pushing for full custody.
In a February 6, post-judgement motion, Inman proposed new permanent orders to the court that he be granted sole legal custody and primary physical custody of his daughter, including “full jurisdiction over [daughter’s] religion,”
“Inman wishes to forbid Olya Conterez from promoting satanic worship, spells, witchcraft and the like, which she is heavily involved in,” Inman wrote. “Conterez would be forbidden to engage [daughter] into any of her spell castings, burials of crosses and pentagrams and any and all symbolic satanic ‘enlightenment.’ Plaintiff Olya Conterez would be forbidden to engage [daughter] into any satanic practices or after school satanic groups or clubs that Olya may be interested in deploying.”
Reunification
Throughout the court case and even following the court case, Inman has threatened to sue and sent harassing emails to just about everyone – his former attorneys, opposing attorneys, prosecutors, the GAL – against whom he filed a grievance that was subsequently dismissed – and the police. He hinted at taking legal action against Inside Investigator when we reached out for an interview. Inman says he is preparing numerous lawsuits.
He has already filed one lawsuit in federal court – again representing himself — against officers with the Brookfield Police Department, alleging they failed to investigate Conterez for filing a false police report and tampering with his mail, and instead arrested him based a false police warrant, causing him to lose custody of his daughter.
The lawsuit is related to an alleged June 10 incident during a custody exchange in the Brookfield PD parking lot between Inman and Conterez. Conterez claimed Inman had blocked her from leaving and that his sister was pounding on her car window with paperwork. According to the police report, security camera footage indicated Inman was not blocking the car and his sister did not appear to be pounding on the window.
At the time, Conterez had a protection order for Inman not to stalk or harass her and stay away from her home, so child transfers were occurring at the police station. However, those orders were updated just three days later to include no electronic contact, and according to the police report, Inman had been emailing and texting Conterez late at night. In his court complaint, Inman argues the restriction on electronic communications was not yet in force and he works “third shift” and does most of his emails and communications late at night.
He is seeking a dismissal of all charges, the return of his daughter, a criminal investigation into the arresting officer and Conterez, and removal of the officer from service. Brookfield PD has filed a motion to dismiss.
Although Inman says his attorneys warned him not to discuss his criminal charges, it occupies much of his concern; they’re all inter-related, with Inman claiming the restraining orders were falsely manufactured by Conterez as a legal tactic to separate him from his daughter as punishment for him ending the relationship “after years of abuse.”
“What happened was I caught her doing witchcraft. I caught her burying a cross, pentagrams, a thong, all kinds of weird stuff that during the relationship, that had never happened,” Inman said in an interview. “I did bring it up in court, which is funny, the court really has done nothing at all about that. They’re fine with that, I was not.”
While Inman maintains that Conterez is practicing witchcraft and satanism – something she categorically denied on the witness stand – he states he cannot discuss his claims of being Michael the Archangel; a direct descendent of Jesus Christ; that Conterez was a CIA operative he was infiltrating; that she was a “person of interest” in suspicious deaths, child trafficking, nor any of the other claims he put in various emails, affidavits, and court filings due to his pending charges.
“I was a federal agent. I did work with U.S. Border Patrol. I absolutely worked in Mexico, on the Mexican border. Any of the other stuff that has to do with the investigation of Olya, I’m not allowed to talk about,” Inman said. “Is there an investigation or did I file a complaint with a federal organization? Yes, I have. I’ve never claimed to have worked for them.”
Inman was twice determined to be mentally competent to stand trial, which simply means that he can aide in his own defense. But he also presented to Inside Investigator a report by a psychiatrist out of Greenwich that determined Inman has “anxiety.”
“Of note, he claimed that he was a descendent of Jesus and has been to Israel,” the doctor wrote. “Of note, he read the Da Vinci code. He doesn’t think this has given him special powers.”
More recently, in December, Inman presented documentation to the court that he is being treated for “Generalized Anxiety Disorder,” and has entered reunification therapy so he can be reunited with his daughter. In his proposed court orders, Inman claims the reunification therapist “is very experienced in dealing with Parental Alienation cases and a psychologist can determine if the minor child has been coached to say untrue statements.”
He also requested Conterez “complete a Substance Abuse and Alcohol evaluation,” and be given a psychiatric evaluation “for her diagnosed/undiagnosed disorder, NPD (narcissistic personality disorder),” before speculating that Conterez will be “arrested and incarcerated” in the near future.
Post-judgement orders entered in February of this year said that Conterez is defying Winslow’s orders, but the dispute is “complicated by the fact that, presently, the defendant is subject to home confinement.”
Judge Joseph Vizcarrondo III ordered the parties to participate in reunification therapy and that the daughter should have supervised visits with Inman.
“A reunification order will allow the defendant immediate visitation rights, and will begin to heal the wound caused by the break in the parent-child relationship,” Vizcarrondo wrote. “Likewise, reunification therapy will ensure that the defendant is in good health, and that his interactions with [daughter] are safe and productive.”
Vizcorrando also ordered the Conterez amend a Go Fund Me post she created asking for monetary help so she could afford an attorney. The post did not reference Inman by name but did reference her “ex-partner” and his belief that he is Michael the Archangel and that she is Satan.
“His mental state is scary and disturbing, and I am fearful for my daughter,” Conterez wrote on the Go Fund Me post. “She must be protected until her father can receive adequate mental care and is fit to interact with her again.”
Inman claimed the Go Fund Me was “fraud,” meant to smear him and prevent him from participating in public and social activities with his daughter in his motion for post judgement orders. The Go Fund Me post has since disappeared entirely.
“I’m very scared of him,” Conterez said as part of her victim statement during a December 19, 2024, criminal hearing on whether to lift the daughter’s protective order against Inman. “I am scared of that man and he’s not safe for anybody around him. You know and to say that he will be with child unsupervised, that’s unspeakable.”
“I won this case, overall, and the appeal, and the post-judgement, so far, is in my favor,” Inman said in an interview. “What we’re seeing based on the preponderance of evidence is that I am a good father, and she has been trying to keep my daughter from me and that’s not a secret at all.”

When people are wondering why the child welfare systems is under the radar of Doge these types of cases are why. The state of Connecticut is the first state to enact fatherhood legislation. Has lead to bazaar cases. The fatherhood initiative first coined the phrase maternal gatekeeper. Then morphing to parental alienation. Malicious mommy syndrome. It’s turned into a lucrative industry. Bringing much money to the court appointments, attorneys and the state government. Millions of dollars worth of funding for fatherhood. The entire state is partnered with the memorandum of understanding for fatherhood. Research funding through the department of child and family services. Funding through the health and human services. Best interest standards are being twisted for a government project. CGS government solutions a stakeholder aggressively promoting the project. Safety and DV and the criminal court system is all tied to the economic growth and development of the state and nation. This story should leave the residents in the state with question where are state and federal tax dollars are going. While the Democrats leading the state are attacking the Trump administration. They have ignored the evidence of problems at the court house. Problems at the criminal courts. Which Americans are paying for. Judges are choosing what they want to be educated on. Connecticut passes legislation for fatherhood with funding attached. Leader in criminal justice reform. Would it be fair to say that the judicial system should be investigated and politicians should answer the hard question? The public should have a clear view of what is happening to children and people at the court house. Thanks to Marc and the inside investigator to the dedication to bringing questionable conduct to the public light.
It’s well past time we stopped these nonsense claims about “fatherhood grants.” Which have been circulating for over 25 years and been repeatedly debunked.
You have debunked nothing. You have hidden the funding from women complaining about bias in the court system. Women are fighting back and you continue to deny it. Millions of dollars running through the United States. Starting in the state of Connecticut. You are no advocate for civil rights and a just court system. You have been calling women reporting abuse and problems to the court house liars for years. We are sick of it. You complain about what is convenient for you. In 2014 you hijacked the court system with parental alienation claims. Here we are over 10 years later. You refuse to acknowledge the funding. Steering the public away from the funding and legislation causing problems in the family court system. You are misinforming the public.
The “misinformation” are the endless myths and fairy tales being endlessly repeated by a very small group of wealthy white women in Fairfield County attempting to promote a gender biased based agenda.
A group whose members believe we should go back in time and are promoting a concept that ‘protective mothers’ should get full custody by default.
The reality is that our broken and corrupt “family” courts are equal opportunity destroyers of children, parents and families. Driven by the politics and agenda of profit and greed.
I would welcome Inside Investigator examining all these made up and exaggerated claims. So they can also debunk them, just as every other investigative news reporter going back 20-25 years has debunked them.
I remind you that I joined a federal lawsuit filed by a group of women against gender based federal funding going to the states. I remind you that I’ve helped more women than men stuck the nightmare of our “family” court system. I remind that that I advocate for the rights of ALL parents – not any one group.
This issue is not about me or any one person.
Suffice to say we didn’t see any members of those wearing purple t-shirts ever joining us to testify against problematic judges in our state before the Judiciary Committee. Why is that?
There is last minute notice. Contrary to your false statement many women wearing purple tee shirts have jobs. Middle class or some near poverty can not take time off at last minute notice. These purple wearing women are not just wealthy. I welcome the inside investigator to read your court documents. As well as listen to the utube video where you defend Fotis Dolus. Peter Syzmonick men’s rights defends Fotis Dolus. Women have gone to their legislators. Many on the judiciary. Women have gone to the commission on women and girls. They don’t follow through on anything. The ccadv has their hands tied by the state government. They can’t support and stand up for women for family court. . Are the woman your helping have restraining orders? Are you helping women? Cause I don’t think they are getting custody back or seeing their children. Are being given bad advice. There is nothing on your platform about child safety. Your platform has biased upon calling out anyone who doesn’t agree to 50)50 rich white women. Pushing the agenda of the philosophy doctor profiling white women at Uconn calling them privileged and breeding hatered. Recorded and on the internet. The fatherhood initiative agenda pushing for male social workers. Marc already has the paperwork.
The first CEO of the nonprofit organization the fatherhood initiative was Allen Hawkins. Heathtly marriage institute in Utah. Hawkins coined the term maternal gatekeeper. A gender based term speaking to mothers who were concerned about the safety of their children. All of the terminology used to explain the effects of children in fatherless households is used for parental alienation claims. Allen Hawkins was also involved in the government health and human services. As well as the department of child and family services. Hawkins is responsible for the” billion dollar man” fatherhood. Millions of dollars is pumped through the US. Children and family services is responsible for research grants. Such individuals like Marsha Kline Pruett from Massachusett’ s Smith college , now at Yale New Haven. Marsha Kline Pruett research on the ” high conflict couple and marriage. Receiving over 7 million dollars. Kyle Pruitt head of children psychiatric department at Yale hospital New haven hospital is part of the fatherhood initiative. Anthony Gay a supervisor at the CT DCF is a part of the fatherhood initiative. Has spoken on the gatekeeper theories. Doug Edwards is a judicial branch employee as well as receiving funding for the 503c fatherhood initiative for speaking. Edward is heavily involved in the children law center of Connecticut. Promotion of fatherhood. Hartford and Saint Francis hospital. The entire state funding is attached to and requires support of the memorandum of understanding for fatherhood. CGS government solutions is aggressively promoting the project. The CEO of the fatherhood initiative receives over $600 thousand dollars a year. The CGS government solutions CEO receives $700 thousand a year . 10 million dollars is pumped through the family court for access and visitation grants through fatherhood. The strategic planning for fatherhood 2019 through 2025 prioritizes fatherhood over criminal matters. The Connecticut judicial branch is partnered with the fatherhood initiative and follows the memorandum of understanding. Connecticut has had significant costs savings in closing prison. In 2011 equimundo through a man by the name of Baker presented to the United nations a report of social policy and economics. Where he is rebranding masculinity. He presents the majority of DC perpetrators are men. Presented a program to reduce DV by the perpetrators. His funding is supposed to be for gender equity. Used for fatherhood business. Including lead Dad. Stay at home father’s and custodial dads. Run out of New Canaan CT. All under the Dei road map. The lead father out of New Canaan CT a former writer for economic in the New York times. Promotion of parental alienation/ malicious mommy syndrome through Dr. Pines. From CT. Found guilty of fraud in other matters in CT. Most psychological diagnostics are targeted in family court is targeted at women. While delusional beliefs are legally explained away based on religion. Hawkins is based out of a Mormon community. Jennifer Dulos was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. In which she did not fit. Characterized by a history of relationships difficulties beyond marital. Julie Mingue went to the police with over 200 text messages and had a restraining order. The prosecutor office wanted more information. She was murdered with an axe in front of a three year old. All this is ignored by equal and shared parenting committee. Promted by Marsha Kline Pruett. The leading expert of the hypothesis parental alienation has a degree in government. Placing women speaking out on the matter as detractors. Working in collaboration with the industry that are significantly profiting. Can be seen yelling 3 strikes your out in the 2014 hearing. A majority of the equal and shared parenting groups are well aware of how the state of Connecticut operates. The professed Angel had no connected attorney. There is no information on the evaluation or who performed it. Is the system only currupt if someone is not found guilty of alienation? Some of the largest donations to Uconn and Yale are connected to divorce and child custody cases. Both large donation are from men. Uconn running the fatherhood initiative health and human services. TANF block grant funding criminal justice reform the fatherhood initiative and economic growth and development. Parental alienation claims.
Charlie Manson thought he was Jesus Christ or at least the reincarnated. He convinced many followers. Maybe the judge should consider how that turned out. Some judges are just unfit to be on the bench. Where is the judiciary committee?
Judiciary found no wrong doing.
Senitor Gary Winfield on the judiciary committee made public statements about accountability last July. Vote as if the country depends on it, cause it does. So are children’s lives as well as adults. The state politicians have passed legislation and granted immunity. We need to focus on the politicians failing to safe guard the public, especially children. We have elected them to represent the public. They are not doing a good job. Until a media outlet such as this informs the public , we are left in the dark. Vote like yours and your children’s lives depend on it. Cause they do. In both the family court and criminal.
Why didn’t the judge listen to the GAL? If the courts don’t listen to the GAL’s what use are they to the court?
GALs are a not experts in anything. They are nothing more than yet another way for our state’s broken and corrupt “family” courts to fleece parents and families for every dollar they are worth. They have no business recommending medical treatments of any kind.
They GALs are supposed to be fact finders. It’s overwhelming obvious in this case there are questions of underlying mental illness. When a GaL recommends the court force reunification with a parent who has demonstrated DV or substance abuse, you are all for it. You have been pushing parental alienation claims for over 10 years. Attacking GALs, attorneys and judges when ever they rule in a manner you don’t like. Doesn’t fit your 50/50 agenda. It’s not shocking you are defending this case. GaL training has prodomity on parental alienation claims. You are all for it. When a GaL demonstrate sound judgment to raise alarm bells in the court house, you discredit them. It doesn’t take much to see that sexual harassment and alarming behavior is being ignored by a judge who should be removed from the bench for lacking common sense.
The nearly 2,000 parents who signed my petition seeking reform of our state’s broken and corrupt “family” court GAL system would disagree with your assessment. As would the 30,000+ members of the Parental Alienation pages on Facebook. I guess we’re all wrong?
GALs are an abomination and should be removed from the “family” courts entirely.
The big “30 thousand” is out of 80 billion people in the United States. The people signing the petition were also people who had parental Alienation fraud used against them. How much money have the pushers of parental alienation claims gotten funding through grants? How many times have you personally had a problem with stories like this being published? How much of the group has been ” coached”. Including $200 plus phone calls for ” coaching” services for a court case? Void of a proper evaluation? Who decides you get to control the flow of information that parents get to hear? How many times will you turn your blinders on playing devil’s advocate? So the entitlements of delusional beliefs and abusive behavior is over looked? So you can push legislation and unregulated hypothetical experimental psychology to run the state of Connecticut family court house? Claiming it is just rich housewives complaining?
A brief point of order in this debate: there are 340 million people in the USA and 8 billion people in the world.
Interesting. Some of this is very familiar. Inman spends a lot of time roaming the dark halls of the deep web where he frequents QAnon chat rooms with doorways leading to the Satanic Movement of the 80’s. His alter-ego in this court case, essentially, is “Q”. Inman is “Q”. He’s getting some good drugs, and likely moving these drugs, through these online rooms. There is a much bigger story here.
This is confusing: The Judicial Council, however, dismissed the grievance on February 21, 2023, writing they had concluded their investigation and “determined on the basis of the facts before it, that there was no violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.”
February 21, 2023? The grievance was filed on November 25, 2024. Did you mean February 21, 2025 or am I reading it wrong?
How many members from the Grievance Committee were assigned to investigate the complaint? What are their names?
ATTORNEY KEVIN J. DUNN was appointed Executive Director of the Judicial Review Council effective May 17, 2021.
I think to what you said the dismissed in 2023 is a typo.
This case is a perfect illustration of why claims of abuse and neglect do not belong in our broken and corrupt “family” courts. In part, because they are not courts of evidence and law.
Playing Devil’s Advocate, a judge cannot prevent a fit parent from being one because of their religious beliefs – that’s a First Amendment violation. As extreme as Inman’s beliefs may be, he is entitled to them and they can’t be used against him. There are plenty of married parents with extreme beliefs out there – the state does not take their children from them. Why didn’t the GAL contact DCF? And what business does a DCF have making medical treatment recommendations for anyone?
What’s missing in this story is there is no report that Inman ever harmed his daughter. If there was concern about his daughter’s safety – why wasn’t DCF contacted by the ex-wife, police, school system or the child’s medical providers?
If his ex-wife was harmed, why didn’t she report it to the police when it happened – instead only using these claims in “family” court to deny him access to his daughter?
Suffice to say Inside Investigator has presented a unique case with an interesting story – but the conclusions may not be as obvious as they may seem.
Delicious and religious beliefs. These are not reasonable religious arguments. The man is clearly delusional. He also has made delusional claims of working for the government. Your argument is one based on biological rights and entitlements. The standard in family court is best interest. The judge needs to be taken off the bench. Mental illness is not illegal, however in cases like this it’s a public safety concern. First for the child second for the mother. Third the legal professionals. I pray for all of them. I pray you stop defending unsafe situations.
I understand and generally agree, however the judge specifically focused on the fact that he posed no threat to his daughter. The state cannot assume harm, it has to prove it. How is a delusion that someone claimed to be working for the federal government, or who he descended from, harmful? There are plenty of delusional married parents out there, the state does not take their children from them.
You’re right, mental illness is not illegal, or grounds to separate a child from an otherwise fit parent. (That would also violate the ADA.)
He was not found to be unfit.
This is absolutely outrageous!!
My heart breaks for the child going through this. So unfair.
Something seriously needs to be done within our court system.
And that’s why we need to have laws to address emotional, psychological and financial domestic abuse, and mental health. And we need to have judges who are trained to properly address the situation, and apply these laws. It all plays into the child’s wellbeing and safety. The system is a failure. That’s why some victims stay in the relationships – because there is nothing out there to help them.
It’s the opposite. We need to stop handing judges more discretionary power. And we need less “family” court intrusions into people’s and children’s lives. Because as long as there is a *profit* motive to pit parents against each other and to prolong cases – we will have and suffer what we have.
The judges know exactly what they are doing, because the majority of them used to be divorce attorneys and GALs and they are all part of the “family” court cabal and racketeering. “Lack of training” is not the problem.
Again, cases that involve abuse and neglect do not belong in our “family” courts because they are not courts of evidence or law. They belong in our criminal courts, or if they involve children, DCF.
DCF is appearing to be incompetent in many cases lately in Connecticut. The police are not equipped to deal with this type of mental illness. The criminal justice reform is plea bargained and nulling cases. DV peritrators and unsafe parents are arrested. They go to court and claim parental alienation. A non recognized hypothesis. With out regulation and standards. The judge doesn’t focus on the situation. They focus on the hypothetical. The child are used as leverage in the criminal case. Reluctant children’s safe parents are arrested for custodial interference. At the urgent plea of equal and shared parenting, as well as parental alienation pushers. Agreement is forced with prosicution threats dropped. This is a giant game unfortunately unfolding in Connecticut family court. Elimination of parental alienation claims and the court will be forced to focus on evidence and best interest standards. This is not a money grabber. This is the state of Connecticut keeping crime statistics down. Especially DV incidents. Elimination the lucrative industry of parental alienation and we shall see safety restored to the public most importantly children. These are 23% of cases according to the family court system. The deserve to be handled better. Unfortunately the fight to command cases into parental alienation in 2014 has misguided the family court system. The voices of victims has been over shadowed with agreement to settle cases faster and lower the crime statistics. The criminal court system in Connecticut is focused on letting people off the hook and cost savings to the state of Connecticut. Not public safety. Allowing insane unsafe situations to go under the radar of the public. Abuse and neglect is being ignored because of parental alienation claims.
So let’s analyze the “logic.”
DCF isn’t doing their job and ignore abuse.
The police aren’t doing their job and ignore abuse.
The criminal court and prosecutors aren’t doing their jobs and ignore abuse.
So gee, our broken and corrupt “family” courts are the proper forum to hear claims of abuse and neglect? Where the parent who tells the greatest lie or pays the most to their divorce attorney or state “family” court vendors “wins”? Where due process and the rule of law are completely ignored? When they are not courts of evidence or law and completely unequipped to hear these claims? (See Judge Bozzuto’s testimony before the Judiciary Committee in 2019.)
We open a real Pandora’s Box if we believe the state or government should or can legislate thoughts, beliefs, relationships or behaviors.
Legislation for relationship. Forced relationship through reunification therapy should be abolish. Belief or delusional thoughts. DV should be treated like a crime. It’s ignored because of parental alienation claims. When you physically put your hands on someone, take over their house. Confine them to a room and put surveillance cameras you should be prosicution. When your children get upset and scared because of it, it not parental alienation. Perhaps you should be held in contemp for refusing to get counseling.
30,000 is globally. It’s not based on Connecticut or even the United States. Thousands of people and women reported that the hearing was taken over by parental alienation and father’s rights groups. Equal and shared parenting ” parental alienation” expert 99 percent of DV alligations are false in the opinion. Assisting with the ignoring and ignorance in the family court house. The system is broken and driven by a 2011 report to the United Nations. Using the majority of the DV batters to solve the nations healthy marriage problems. Fatherhood labs and experimental psychology departments. You continue to fail at answer how many are from Connecticut. How many in the group are women who have been accused of parental alienation? The endless tossing of numbers and statistics that are not broken down.

( KS). Equal and shared parenting ” parental alienation” expert 99 percent of DV alligations are false in the opinion. Assisting with the ignoring and ignorance in the family court house. The system is broken and driven by a 2011 report to the United Nations. Using the majority of the DV batters to solve the nations healthy marriage problems.

The endless tossing of numbers and statistics that are not broken down. Peter, you are a twice divorce father who was accused of something by a third person a fiancee. Typical of what we are seeing in Connecticut. Monitized white fathers who are using parental alienation claims. Using Dei models that financially benefit white men. Targeting women who were married to them. Claiming DV is not real. As well as white men receiving significant monetary insensitive to run the programs. Attacking women and trying to discredit them in any color. This case is a perfect example of what appears to be the family court judge going along. The judiciary committee turning a blind eye to the problem. These mothers are not who you help. You are helping women with restraining order in place. These women are extending poor legal advice to other women. Further adding to the current family court system problems.
This article is just more proof that the court system ignores the warning signs. Julie Mingue x husband just got a plea deal. Did the police department and prosecutor do their job? There are several different articles and DCF. The Hawthorne home . The child who got pregnant by her guardian. Your complaints are at the convenience of your prospective. Your seem to have a dislike for women wearing purple shirts. Your statement of wealthy women. You forgot white. That reflects the Dr. Of philosophy from the fatherhood initiative at Uconn. ” Privilege white women”. Breeding hatered towards white women from the minority community. Women who are not living in poverty. Your dedication to pushing a narrative that mirrors the fatherhood initiative. Targeting white women complaining about the family court system. Many are working class. Some in poverty. Minority women are also complaining. It’s time for family court to become equipt to hear these claims. Your blanket campaign to drive family law cases into parental alienation has driven the state court system into the disaster it is. We all know how upset you are because of this series of articles that paint a very different picture then the narrative you push. Women in Connecticut in several cases are afraid to come forward out of fear of losing their children. Anyone who doesn’t support 50/50 or parental alienation seems is often blocked by you. Some of us know what you and members of equal and shared parenting have done to people who don’t support your narrative. The purple shirts. Gender profiling. Liars, maternal gatekeepers, malicious mommy, mounchouen mommy, gold diggers . ” It’s not domestic violence it’s misunderstanding.” ” Jennifer law is junk. ” Cause the judge don’t receive training and could careless. Anything that protects children and a parent going to court asking for help. This father is sexually harassing an attorney and the judge is ignoring it. All of which you defend to promote 50/50 legislation and no safety rails at the family court house. The Simbury police department in a stand off with children in the school parking lot to force access and visitation. Fathers rights attorney pushing for the arrest of the mother for custody interference. The ” reunification therapist”. Appearing to be a Dr. Pine type. You have sold the idea of 50)50 legislation to some women as the only means to see their children again. Evidence of law. The entire criminal justice system is designed to men. Criminal justice reform doesn’t apply to women. Despite a 95 percent increase in the last decade. The promotion of more for custodial interference to protect some abusive parents. Who will not take responsibility for themselves run to the court house and use parental alienation as a weapon. Fathers like the one in this case screaming mental health issues is ignored. For access and visitation statistics and grants. Are the state programs working? Are cases like this used for our outcomes? Your defending of this case further illustration of best interest standards is overshadowed to push parental alienation and 50/50 legislation. So mentally ill and abusive parents can slide through the cracks at the court house. You have openly attacked funding for domestic violence. In 2011 funding was redirected to” fatherhood”. It’s being abused and seem to be more interested in protecting it then fixing the court system. Are you fighting for parents or fighting to keep funding?
Marsha Kline Pruett the study of problematic fathers. All Hispanic and black/brown? The majority of the alienation claims are monitized white men who are not being studied. Because they can afford to pay the industry to protect them.
31 year old man sets fire in the house to escape the hell he was imprisoned since 11. DCF say they have no records, but the principal of the school the step monster took him out of called 20 times. That’s what he told the news. If anyone thinks DCF is doing their job in Connecticut, think again. Some parents call DCF as a tactic to gain edge at the court house. Some call and get ignored. Call the police. The police went to the house and found no reason for alarm. The principal must feel like many parents , helpless. When you go to family court for assistance you are at the mercy of a judge. This judge is an idiot. Many more on the beach. It’s up to our elected officials to weed out the idiots on the bench. It’s up to the electrical officials to ensure that the judges on the bench receive education and follow legislation that pits children human rights above parental entitlement. Will the step monster go to criminal court and claim she is a decent from Jesus punishing for his sins? I bet that the criminal court judge in the high profile case is not buying religious freedom.
Why is Dr. Amy Barker marketing herself in the state of Connecticut? Offering coaching for $250 to get parents ready for court using parental alienation in the court house. If you can not go to court and explain to a judge what is happening then these alligations are probably false. It should be alarming to the judicial branch that coaching service are being offered through attorneys. Getting clients ready to go to court is one thing. Getting coaching on parental alienation silver bullets is another. This is using a reciprocal licence to teach people to use parental alienation claims at the court house. Is this best interest standards?
