Sexual Assault – Part 3
“…and if we were able to settle the civil case for $150,000.00 that she would leave the island and not appear at the trial of the criminal case.”

Aloha, and may God inspire you to follow this story.

Appellate Verdict June 13, 2025 – Amen!

Just wait until the Circuit Court finds out the Text Exhibits used at trial
were manipulated!

This was the first post on GoFundMe, that lasted less than a day. GoFundMe took it down without warning and said at first it was due to policy issues. It took 3-5 days to return the monies to the donors. The 2nd post Doc created was so simple and brief it couldn’t conflict with policy issues. But once donors hit $10K level – GoFundMe again took it down and this time admitted that someone complained. Someone desperate enough to suppress the truth. And when you continue to read the details of this sorted story –
you’ll begin to understand why.

When one opts to study medicine, they are opting for a career that is unlike any other, it is a calling. The job is to help reduce suffering. The first oath taken upon entering the profession is: “A physician shall uphold the dignity and honour of his profession.” And the first declaration made is “I solemnly pledge myself to consecrate my life to service of humanity.” Doctors are professionals and most are not businessmen. Their first thought is about helping others without judgment, so it’s understandable how any doctor could become an easy mark.

Dr. Curtis Bekkum has been caring for the Hana, Lahaina, and Central Maui, Hawaii communities open-heartedly since the day he began practicing medicine in Hawaii. The communities know that health care is never refused in his offices, and it has never been about money. Care always comes first.

We need to reach out to everyone for support as Dr. Bekkum is going through an unjust legal battle that requires substantial funds to prove his innocence. Not all allegations of any crime, including sexual assault, are real. Please DONATE, no matter the amount to Venmo@Curtis-Bekkum. Once again, there has been an alternative donation site established.

Carl arrived home and opened the book. It was getting late and he had an early day ahead of him. He began reading the first few chapters of The Big Short and found it fascinating. Remembering Louis had told him that this was a true insider’s view made it hard to put down. Carl carried it with him the next day and read a few pages every chance he got. During lunch he closed himself in his chambers and powered through the chapters. He knew very little about inside Wall Street – just that it was a lot of fast talk and smooth salesmen. The Big Short identified the decline in the lending standards as early as 2004. What Carl couldn’t understand was why a person who lent money would want to extend such loans. He found one of the characters, Dr. Michael Burry, had tremendous insight.

Carl knew he didn’t want to discuss the Louis Harding issue in his chambers, in fact, Carl really didn’t want to discuss it anywhere in public either – or in Louis Harding’s office. This made it all the more difficult to structure the opportunity to have a confidential meeting. Carl thought of a plan where no one would interfere or suspect the agenda. Carl’s brother-in-law, Phil, was a Senior Executive at Andersen Corporation in Bayport, about 26 miles from Minneapolis. Carl asked Phil if he might be able to use the company’s board room for a private meeting after hours. Without telling Phil the details, but assuring him it was needed for good reason, Phil gave him various dates that the room would be available. Carl thanked him and said he would let him know what date could be confirmed.

     Next, Carl had to figure out a way to get Louis Harding to Bayport for a meeting. ‘I’ll just be cryptic when I call him,’ thought Carl.

With the car packed and the fillets on ice the three judges headed back to the big city. The drive from Hubbard County is quite spectacular. The sky looked like a big dome containing all the snow covered fields and woods for as far as the eye could see. Everything appeared white and glistening like diamonds in the sunshine. Carl had a special pair of dark glasses that deflected the glare and made it easier to drive on the highway.

     “Okay, we have to talk about this,” John G. declared changing the small talk. “I know this isn’t an easy discussion, but is essential.”

Ole signaled Erik to come over to the Shappell. “Say nothing Howard, but let’s ride over and see what the judges want.” Erik and Howard climbed on their snow mobiles and rode over to the judges’ camp.

     “We’re about ready to call it a day,” Ole smiled. “How about we go back to the Lodge for some dinner and you two join us for some cards about 9 pm?” 

     Erik knew he was up for it just in case there was any more foreclosure conversation. Erik looked at Howard who grinned, because he loved poker. “Yeah, we’re up for it – think you can afford us?” Erik boasted.

Ole stared directly at John G., “This is putting some bad law on the books, John – you can’t tell me this doesn’t bother you? I have to tell you both straight out that if I didn’t know about the pension fund issues, I’d think we’d look just plain incompetent… and I know some people are already saying that. We’re a pretty conservative community with a telegraph tree on the Internet. Every time I deny a homeowner’s foreclosure complaint it’s all over the social media. I’ve run out of creative ways to deny these homeowners and say, ‘you can appeal me, but you still have to move out, unless the appellate court gives you a stay.’ Now, you want us to go after a decent attorney just because he can’t be persuaded to quit his representation of homeowners?

John G. hesitated with a guilt-ridden stammer, “Louis Harding.” ‘Oh my God’ Ole thought, ‘there but for the grace of God go I.’

“You don’t mean “Saint” Louis Harding, do you?” questioned Carl. John G. raised his eyes, looked upward and nodded.  

“I worked with him in the Public Defender’s office. His nick name was “Saint Louis” because he was so pure… so honorable, I mean he should have been appointed to a US District Court judge position. Is this really necessary, I mean, isn’t there another way?” Ole asked. “We’re elected, not appointed – if this gets out we could get creamed in an election.”

Whether it was the wind that day or the position between the camps, Erik and Howard could hear the entire conversation the judges were having. It was like the old well-known oddity of the placement of John Quincy Adam’s desk in the U.S. Capitol where he could hear everything people said — even whispers — from clear across the room. Normally, Erik and Howard wouldn’t hear anything coming from the judges’ camp. But today the word “foreclosure” peaked Erik’s hearing and he wanted to hear more.
