Russell Hamblen & Paul Hamblen: Tag team molestors

[Jaded]

WILSONVILLE, Ore. – Police say the 18-year-old son would lure girls into his home, where he or his father would ply them with alcohol, then rape them.

Investigators served a search warrant at the home of 50-year-old Russell Hamblen and his 18-year-old son, Paul. They're gathering evidence in a case which continues to grow.

The alleged abuse took place over the past two years, and involved at least seven victims. Their ages ranged from 14 to 17 years.

Russell and Paul Hamblen Rape Together

[Jaded]

Un-fuckin-believable request by Judge Deanne Darling...

State welfare officials say they have no plans to follow a judge's order to bail a rape suspect out of jail so he can be reunited with his 13-year-old son.

Russell Hamblen, 50, and another son, Paul Hamblen, 19, were arrested in April on accusations they provided alcohol to teenage girls and forced them to have sex. The son pleaded guilty to multiple sex crimes and was sentenced to five years in prison. The father's trial is scheduled for January.

Clackamas County Judge Deanne Darling recently ordered the state Department of Human Services to bail Hamblen out, so he could plan care for his junior-high age son, who is currently in foster care.

The agency asked Darling to reconsider her demand, which Human Services officials called unprecedented and inappropriate.

But Darling didn't back down Thursday, saying the state had not provided credible evidence that Hamblen was an unfit parent. The charges against Hamblen "make no nevermind ... because his rights are still the same," Darling said.

Hamblen is being held on $500,000 bail. He could be freed if he posted 10 percent of that amount, or $50,000.

Although Human Services may face a contempt of court charge, the agency does not intend to post bail and may appeal Darling's ruling to the Oregon Court of Appeals, said Gene Evans, a Human Services spokesman.

"We cannot comply with the order and DHS will not be paying bail for this individual," Evans said in a written statement to The Oregonian newspaper.

Jerry Buzzard, Clackamas County manager for the Human Services department, said the agency doesn't have $50,000 available for Hamblen's bail. Even it did, a Human Services attorney said, the agency would be liable for the remaining $450,000 if Hamblen fled.

Darling, however, said there is no evidence Hamblen is a flight risk.

Hamblen did not speak at the hearing and the boy's mother was not present. She is unable to parent the child due to her substance abuse problems, according to court records.

Holey Fuckoley. For once DHS doesn't have it's head up it's ass. I hope someone makes the judge liable for bail and has this molester live with her kids.

What is the purpose of bail if he makes the state pay the state? Might as well be zero as taxpayers pay either way. Can you imagine the chaos if DHS/CPS were required to pay bail on all incarcerated parents so they could "make arrangements"??

The dude can't plan care for his kid from inside the jail walls?

I just HAD TO go look into this more. The judge's order is so wild.

Darling said there is no evidence that Hamblen is a flight risk.

Darling said Human Services should determine if Hamblen had any assets that could be used to pay bail and act on his behalf to raise the cash.

"That's not what their mission is," said John P. Anderson, a state attorney representing the department.

Darling, who is known in juvenile justice circles as a strong and creative advocate for reuniting troubled families, was unswayed by the arguments.

The Hamblen case garnered national attention last week, drawing hypercritical comments from TV and radio talk show hosts. Darling said Clackamas County District Attorney John Foote informed her this week that he was responsible for the document's release.

From a local blog:

Some Wilsonville parents are very concerned about the possible bail out of a child-rape suspect that has a residence in a family filled subdivision very close to Valley Christian Preschool, Boones Ferry Primary and Wood Middle School. They are circulating an e-mail which I received today - asking all parents to help keep our community safe and protect our children by protesting the possible bail out of Russel Paul Hamblen to Clackamas County officials.

They are asking Wilsonville residents to please consider e-mailing Judge Deanne Darling to protest this injustice at deanne.darling@state.or.us, or writing her a letter addressed as: Attn: Judge Deanne Darling, 2123 Kaen Road, Oregon City, 97045. Her phone number is: 503-557-2841.
[...]
The order does not explain why Darling thinks Hamblen must be freed from jail to participate in planning sessions. The sheriff's office routinely transports inmates to court hearings without releasing them from custody. Clackamas County also has a closed-circuit television system that connects the jail and the courthouse.

Family law attorneys, state officials and others said they have never heard of a judge ordering the state to bail out an inmate.

But, they caution, juvenile court records are confidential and sometimes a judge is privy to information that leads to decisions that may seem peculiar to others.

Juvenile court judges are required to follow policies intended to reunite children with their parents, if possible, or find safe and suitable long-term care, said Julia M. Hagan, a Portland family law attorney.

That requires bringing family members together to make decisions, and parents have a legal right to participate.

"The big struggle in these things is to get DHS to be creative," said Leslie J. Harris, a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law.

She described Darling as a competent, respected and assertive judge who is not given to outlandish rulings.

Regardless of the judge's reasoning, DHS officials questioned the propriety of spending public money to free a properly incarcerated inmate.

A family that rapes together stays....wait fuck, I think I got that wrong. Seriously, how the fuck does something like this even start? I can't even wrap my head around it. I mean, if they both just happened to be rapists on their own, ok, fucked up family, maybe some bad genes, but to do it together, that's some twisted form of father son bonding.

But Darling didn't back down Thursday, saying the state had not provided credible evidence that Hamblen was an unfit parent

Not an unfit parent?! WTF. He not only rapes little girls, but encourages his son to do so. In fact, they do it together. How can she say that there isn't evidence to suggest that he's not an unfit parent. Helping your son rape multiple girls, younger than your son, clearly shows that you are unfit. This judge needs to be knocked upside her head. And if she's so fucking concerned about this dude making bail, why not just either post it herself, or post it as nothing. The taxpayers money could certainly be put to better use
