Dark secrets plague Minnesota County Attorney and police department in child rape trial
by Timothy Charles Holmseth on April 27, 2017, 8:46 P.M. CST
Why was Polk County Attorney Greg Widseth in possession of private emails from a former CNN reporter that was asking the East Grand Forks Police to arrest a journalist for providing information to the FBI about a kidnapped five year-old from Florida named HaLeigh Cummings?
Widseth was asked that question today in a formal letter but no reply has been received as of this publishing.
In the meantime…
Concerns about Widseth regarding his activities with the East Grand Forks Police in the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping, are exasperating the already utterly bizarre facts surrounding the upcoming rape trial of George Robert Lyons in Polk County.
In both cases Polk County has acted very cynical.
George Lyons is the man famous for publicly announcing his marital engagement to a Grand Forks County state prosecutor, after he was charged with 1st degree sexual assault of a child in Minnesota. The Grand Forks States Attorney, Jodi Bass, has never denied Lyons’ claim to be planning marriage with her.

Lyons’ arrest appears to be something Polk County authorities could no longer avoid because school officials and social workers and the courts had become so heavily involved.
But it appears Polk County tried very hard to avoid charging Lyons.
The East Grand Forks Police failed to criminally charge Lyons after a young victim came forward to a school official in 2012. In 2014 another report was made against Lyons regarding a sexual assault. In March, 2014 Minnesota District Judge Dennis J. Murphy found Lyons sexually assaulted the child and changed custody status based on the evidence. Yet, an arrest warrant for Lyons was not issued until December 24, 2015.
Statements by Lyons’ victims include Lyons photographing the children without clothes.
The activities of Polk County law enforcement in both the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping, and the George Lyons sex assault case, show a pattern of corruption and obstructionism by a judicial community that appears to protects pedophiles whenever possible.
And there appears to be organization.
In 2009, former CNN reporter Art Harris was secretly communicating with Lt. Detective Rodney Hajicek, the ranking officer at the East Grand Forks Police Department. The two men were communicating about Timothy Charles Holmseth’s journalism regarding the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping.
Holmseth obtained recorded testimony from a legal assistant at a Florida law office that handled child rape pornography of the five year-old, which was given to him by his employer. The child pornography was never turned over to law enforcement.

Hajicek, who was communicating with Harris, is the charging officer that took years to file charges in the Lyons case.
Hajicek’s years of 'Jerry Sanduskyish' conduct appears to shows he supports and protects pedophiles.

Hajicek communicated with Harris about Holmseth and the Cummings case exclusively on his private email account Rod.hajicek@gmail.com Harris wanted Hajicek to file charges against Holmseth - but never made an allegation of an actual crime. He simply said, “He’s got to be stopped”.
The cynical nature of the secret communications is profound because the private emails, along with other documents, including a 22-page investigative report Holmseth authored for the FBI with information he obtained about the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping, were daisy-chained to Widseth by Harris via Hajicek.
But…
The 56-pages did NOT turn up in a public records request to Police Chief Michael Hedlund at the East Grand Forks Police Department.

And the truth is potentially terrifying.
According to a sworn affidavit by a Florida attorney to the Florida BAR Association, “Art Harris”, an independent blogger, had been retained as the official ‘media consultant’ for an attorney connected to the HaLeigh Cummings case.
East Grand Forks Police records show the attorney contacted Hajicek a short time before Harris, but Hajicek found the complaint was “unfounded” and civil in nature.
So – Harris the ‘media consultant’ was sent in.
On July 9, 2009 Harris emailed Hajicek and asked him to consider “pressing charges” against Holmseth. There was no stated reason or basis for ‘charges’ because Holmseth was not breaking any laws whatsoever.
On July 10, 2009 Art Harris emailed Hajicek, again. “I’m in shock, but just heard the FBI actually paid a visit to the Web design firm in Florida that donated their time to the website for the missing child. Based on [Timothy Holmseth’s] absurd accusations he’s now almost gotten a 23 year employee fired for sending the child’s photo on her company email to the pro bono web firm,” Harris said.
On July 18, 2009 Art Harris sent a follow-up email to Hajicek and asked, “What did your did DA say?”
On July 20, 2009, Hajicek made an entry onto an old police incident report “I have printed all the emails from my computer and will have the County Attorney’s office review them to see if any other action can be taken”.
Holmseth contacted Widseth today seeking answers, stating in part:

Polk County, Minnesota
Greg Widseth,
I am contacting you via your government email address only because I don’t know your personal email or personal U.S. mailing address.
On July 10, 2012, you provide me 56 pages of documents per a records request I made to the Polk County Attorney’s Office, where you work during the day.
# # #
Because you are the only identified entity to possess the aforementioned documents, I am contacting you to ask you where the 2 page FBI letter, and the 20 page report that I authored for the FBI, came from. The FBI documents themselves contain no print out dates.
I need to know how Rodney Hajicek came to possess those two FBI documents that were, supposedly, briefly, in the custody of the East Grand Forks Police.
Rodney Hajicek, acting in his PERSONAL capacity, asked you, Gregory Widseth, to assess those private emails and FBI records and “review them to see if any other action can be taken”.
As you are a licensed attorney I recognize you could make that assessment.
Therefore, I need to know if you, Licensed Attorney Widseth, gave Rodney Hajicek legal advice regarding the personal favor he was doing for Art Harris on an already established civil matter regarding my journalism, as well as my formal assistance to the FBI regarding the missing child HaLeigh Cummings.
Sorry I had to contact you at your place of employment regarding this but I don’t know your personal address.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and I look forward to your prompt response.
Respectfully,
Timothy Charles Holmseth
