On November 23rd, 2022, a complaint was lodged against Jose DeCastro. This resulted in charges of Telecommunications Harassment being filed against Mr. Decastro by the City of Oregon Police Department. He was to be held on a of $2500 if he returned and arrested.
According to the article by Jim Finch from Really Cool News over atReallyCoolSite.org:
The charges stem from a November 2022 incident where Kate Peter and DeCastro were in the side chat for a fundraiser in order to raise bail money for YouTuber Broken System Broken Trust.
Peter offered enough money on behalf of the Masshole Troll Mafia to meet the goal for the bail in exchange for a mod timing out DeCastro. Great Lakes Audits complied with the request, triggering DeCastro.
DeCastro allegedly confronted Great Lakes Audit via direct messages and continued to make threats after Great Lakes Audits asked for no more communication between the two.
Great Lakes Audit went to the police and made a police report, resulting in the warrant that was issued but never carried out since 2022. The charges were listed as “Telecommunications Harassment Knowingly Make Call to Harass or Abuse” and bond was set at $2,500.00.
The warrant has been alive but inactive since then, as DeCastro had not returned to Ohio and Oregon, Ohio, police were not going to extradite the YouTuber.
In September of 2023 Great Lakes Audit made a deal with DeCastro to drop the charges against him in exchange for DeCastro doing a fundraiser for Great Lakes Audit’s on-going legal expenses.
The planned fundraiser never materialized and while Great Lakes Audit claimed that he was going to have the charges against DeCastro lifted, he either never did or he did, and the warrant was never lifted.
It was officially lifted on June 11, 2024, when it was ordered withdrawn, and the case was dismissed without cost. No reason was given for the dismissal of the case.
Due to the unique nature of this case, we are not including it in our DeCastro Scorecard totals.
