2016 Engel Article: Huge lie dispelled by 1978 Offense/Incident Report and more.

 
For those completely new here, this post involves the 1978 accusations against Anthony Cipolla.  As a super quick review, the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury report, alone, shows ... in the testimony of the sole detective of the 1978 case ... that Cipolla was NOT arrested in 1978, as was very falsely claimed by media personnel who should never have been hired by any newspaper.  
 
Moreover, the pertinence of this case, ten years after Anthony Cipolla's violent death, exists in the fact that streams of publicly posted DEFAMATION remain online, and the legal doctrine of Ongoing Wrong does exist.  
 
In fact, causing someone's death, via the Eggshell Skull Rule, as such the rule applies to the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress & the stress-related cardiac condition which ensues, is something that calls for a response.  In fact, it cries to Heaven for Vengeance.
 
Preview of the July 25, 1978 O/I Report:  
 
That sheet of paper only started-off an investigation.  It provided no conclusion to the accusations made by Diane Thompson, back in 1978.  Moreover, Tucker Thompson said that he was molested only two times, and NOT for two years of time, as the media insinuated.  Yet, the way Tucker claimed to have been molested by Cipolla was highly improbable and not very credible.

As a very important reminder, the white sheet of hand-printing on a police form that the Thompson People made sure would get put online was NOT an arrest report.  It was NOT an arrest warrant.  It was NOT even a police affidavit.  And it certainly was NOT a case report.

It was simply the notes of a mother's accusations against Anthony Cipolla ... and assertions by her son, Tucker.  The accusations were made to a uniformed police officer and then hand-printed onto a police form.  It's the allegations of Diane & Tucker Thompson only, and not any assessment of any law enforcement officer.  It's their side of the story without any cross-examination having first been performed on them. 

That hand-printed white sheet of paper was/is an Offense/Incident Report.  That's all.  It's NOT evidence.  Rather, it creates the task to look for evidence or corroborating witnesses which can confirm the accusations stated in the Offense/Incident Report.

The Offense/Incident Report of July 1978 

The O/I report in the 1978 Cipolla case simply outlined the words of Diane Thompson, as were recorded by an uniformed man in blue.  Events "after the fact" are also mentioned in brief outline form,such as a trip to the hospital.

Within the 1978 Cipolla Case's O/I report, mention was made of nine year old Tucker Thompson ... aka Thomas Thompson ... having been taken to Allegheny General Hospital, for an "exam for sexual molested."  

Note:  The word, molested, in that text was a noun; a person.  Plus, in Pgh police reports, AGH is Allegheny General Hospital.

The same 1978 Offense/Incident Report marked Tucker Thompson's "victim's condition" as "GOOD."  There was ZERO MENTION OF SEMEN ever having been found on Tucker's body and/or clothing.  Plus, no injury to the private bodily section was recorded.  Neither front nor back had tearing, bruising, etc.  

In the same 1978 report, there was ZERO MENTION OF CIPOLLA GETTING ARRESTED, thereby showing the outright incompetency of local journalists in the late 1970s who did NOT know the difference between a post-arrest prelim hearing and a pending-arrest Probable Cause Hearing.  

It was a probable cause hearing which was scheduled for Aug 28, 1978.   The newspapers falsely reported it as a post-arrest hearing.  In reality, the  hearing was see if Cipolla were going to get arrested or not.  

In the illustration below ... at the top right-hand corner ... look for "victim's condition," and below it is "GOOD." 

Proof that there was no immediate arrest came in the fact that, after Mark Ninehouser submitted his Offense/Incident Report, the sole detective of the case later had a chat with 12 year old Frank Labiaux, as a witness.  The investigation had just begun.

In addition, proof that there was no arrest at all came from the detective's 2018 grand jury testimony, when he described the transpiration in the hallway, shortly before the Aug 28 Probable Cause Hearing was cancelled.  It was cancelled by cause of Diane Thompson withdrawing her private citizen's criminal complaint.

Now, Cipolla had youth groups for years, along with numerous altar servers.  Yet, concerning the only two times when Cipolla was ever accused of abuse, both accusing parties were dirt poor and in desperate need for money.  And of course, accusing a priest of sexual abuse could get for you a huge chunk of change.

Moreover, there certainly was an Offense/Incident Report in the 1978 Cipolla Case posted online.  So, where is the arrest report, if there actually were an arrest of Cipolla in 1978?  Why is it not online?

In fact, being that Diane Thompson claimed that a hospital tested actual semen said to have been found on Tucker, followed by it quickly declaring that it belonged to Cipolla within in a few short days, it means that there would have been an actual warrant for Cipolla's arrest, describing the DNA findings.  

So, where is the warrant?  Why is it not posted online?  In fact, if there had been DNA test results coming from Allegheny General

Okay then, where is a copy of the warrant for Cipolla's 1978 arrest, if he were arrested?  Why was it not posted online?   In fact, what was the docket number given to the 1978 case, if it went beyond the investigation stage, into full blown indictment & arrest?

Timeline Problems, aka head-scratcher mysteries 

Diane Thompson was allegedly married to a guy named Tom Thompson in 1965, until 1977 or so, upon which he allegedly committed suicide by an overdose of barbiturates.  And then, according to Randy Engel, Anthony Cipolla simply popped-in and started molesting Diane Thompson's two sons.   

Of course, Randy Engel made it sound as if Cipolla were grooming and then molesting Tucker for a long time and many times.   In fact, an occasional website would state that that the molesting of Tucker AND Frank was done by Cipolla in 1977 and in 1978.  The Pgh Post Gazette made it look as if Cipolla molested Tucker 20, 40, 60, or even 80 times. 
 
TWO TIMES ONLY went the accusation, as was told to the police, on July 25th, 1978 
 
Well, the alleged claim ... that was stated on record ... was that Anthony Cipolla molested Tucker Thompson a total of TWO TIMES ONLY.  Concerning the molestation technique described, it is NOT the usual way molesters molested the young.  
 
In fact, even though it's a brief description stated in the O/I report, it's a gross-out description.  It alleges the Cipolla was pretending to be giving Tucker a medical exam, for Holy Communion, followed by him sticking one finger where it should NOT have been.  It then alleged that Cipolla took one adult-sized hand and invaded the small private sector of Tucker.
 
In true molestation cases not narrated by mothers in desperate need of apartment rent money, it's the child's hand that gets in great demand by the molester.  The molester doesn't affix his adult-sized hand to a nine year old male child's small small ...
 
More specifically, we are talking about an Anthony Cipolla who literally did have pretend masses as a child, where he actually did get neighborhood kids to attend.  An play altar was even built for him by a neighbor versed in carpentry.  
 
All this means that Anthony Cipolla had an intense belief in every consecrated host, so much so that he would NEVER defile his hands and then hold such a host.  Thus, Anthony Cipolla play proctologist which any child.     
And of course, The Thompson Side of the 1978 case claimed that Cipolla told Tucker that he had to give Tucker an exam, in order for Tucker to be approved for the reception of first holy communion.
 
The description is in Officer Mark Ninehouser's Offense/Incident Report of July 25, 1978.  In that report, Mark stated that Tucker expressly claimed that he was first molested by Anthony Cipolla around the 4th of July, 1978 ... and then on July 25, 1978.  That was a case which spanned no longer than 3 to 4 weeks.  It was NOT the eight, twelve, or sixteen weeks that the mainstream media and Randy Engel insinuated or declared.
 
It was such a small amount of time that Diane needed to bring Frank Labiaux into the narrative, to make Cipolla look like a monster.  Well, one of the things that Frank claimed was that Cipolla actually taught Frank how to molest himself.  This is why, in America, there is a phrase of non-credibility which states, "You've got to be kidding."  
 
And of course, Diane Thompson claimed that she had to drag the information out of Tucker.  And quite frankly, I don't know what story she gave about getting info from Frank.  None the less, the July 25th, 1978 O/I Report only mentioned Tucker, under the name Thomas.
 
 
At the center-bottom of the illustration above, Mark Ninehouser's printed name clearly legible.  How did Randy Engel end up calling him "Nehouser?"  This is the sign of an incompetent ... yet self-righteously arrogant & presumptive ... buffoon, not paying attention to the case.  
 
This is also the sign of a buffoon who doesn't know how to tell who the uniformed officers are and who the detectives are, by their individual badges.  After all, Randy claimed that "Nehouser" was a detective, when he was a uniformed office, instead.  For the record, next to the Ninehouser name is the number 46.  That was his badge number.
 
  And speaking of numbers, Diane Thompson was 32 years old, in the Summer of '78.  In fact, her phone number at the time was 1-412-766-4563.   None the less, it was a land-line, like every other civilian phone of the 1970s.
 
And of course, she stopped living there in 1978, shortly after she was denied her request of having Cipolla get his pastor to start paying Diane Thompson's apartment rent for her.  The pastor was willing to pay zero dollars of her monthly rent.  
 
If the pastor agreed to pay her rent in 1978, then Cipolla would not have been accused of molestation at a time when the apartment rent was due.   Oh, and it was for Apt 16, on 3616 Mexico St, Pgh, PA  15227.
 
Moreover, Tucker ... and/or Diane Thompson ... told uniformed police officer Ninehouser that Cipolla only molested Tucker with his hand ... and a stethoscope via some sort of medical exam.  The insinuation was that Cipolla was using ye olde medical exam as a ploy to molest Tucker only ... by the use of one adult hand on a nine year old's very small you-know-what-while-you-simultaneously-don't-want-to-know-what.
 
Now, Randy Engel claimed that Tucker was taken to the hospital and semen was found on him, followed by a positive DNA identification of Cipolla being quickly made in the hospital laboratory.  HOWEVER, in 1978, it took at least 7 weeks for a DNA test result to be ascertained, and hospitals didn't do the testing.  NIH government labs did.
 
HOWEVER, the contradiction and hypocrisy of the accusation against Cipolla existed in the fact that Tucker said that Cipolla only used his hand to molest him, and the male hand is NOT the body part that ejaculates semen.  
 
If Cipolla kept his pants on ... and if Cipolla's private section had not been involved in the molestation of Tucker ... as the Offense/Incident Report claimed ... then how did semen get on Tucker's clothes?   
 
The only answer is that Diane Thompson lied yet again to Randy, and Randy Engel once again fell for it.  There was no semen anywhere ... according to police report.  Remember, the "victim's condition" was officially stated as "GOOD."
 
Now, for the big credibility problem concerning ages:
 
Diane Thompson's eldest son or step-son in 1978 was Frank Labiaux.  According to the record, Frank Labiaux was 12 years old in 1978.  This would mean that he was born in 1966.  Well, in 1966, a Tom Thompson was allegedly the husband of Diane Thompson.  
 
So, why does Frank have a different last name, if he is Tom Thompson's son?  Who was the real father of Frank?   If he were adopted, then how did a court grant custody of a minor of no relation to a financially impoverished woman who didn't even have readily available rent money?  Plus, if he were adopted back in 1966, how did he get assigned to a severely injured special forces soldier?
 
And who was the father of Diane Thompson's alleged third son ... who actually did die young, somewhere around his late teens or early twenties or even early thirties or whatever?  Or was he instead a nephew or something similar?
 
Also in the 1978 scene was a ten year old girl whose last name was different than Tucker's and Frank's.  She was supposedly Diane Thompson's daughter.  Mark Ninehouser's report stated that the young girl was Kathy Kennealy.  Who are/were that child's parents and who were her legal guardians?
 
So, in the same "household" ... at 3616 Mexico Street, Pittsburgh, PA, Apartment 16 ... there was a nine year old named Thompson, a 10 year old named Kenealy, and a 12 year old named Labiaux.  Diane Thompson was said to have been the mother and/or guardian of those children.  Who were the fathers of these children?
 
In fact, if you know anything about this Tom Thompson, assuming he did exist at one time on Planet Earth, could you fill me in, as to date of birth, place of birth, place of death, cause of death, educational background, work background, any military service, any civilian administrative records, even past hobbies?  Please?  Anything about him will do.  
 
He was alleged to have committed suicide some time around 1977.  My cell phone number ... which receives texts ... is in each post about an interpreter for the UN converting St Wenceslaus' into a theater or convention center or whatever.  I am NOT going to post here any numbers not related to the 1978 Cipolla Case.  To do so is to cause confusion.  This includes my cell phone number.

There is even a bigger time problem with the tale of Tom Thompson going from master printer ... in the age of automated printing ... to special forces trainee in 1965 which meant that he had to have started his military service in 1962
 
Diane Thompson ... according to Randy Engel ... said that Tom Thompson's trade was that of a printer and that he was one of the finest printing craftsmen in the land.  
 
At this point, there is a time problem here.  Firstly, how old was Tom Thompson in 1965 that he could gain the experience of a master printer and yet end up in America's elite forces with the required three years of previous military experience?  Uhhhhm, there is one thing you need to know about Special Forces recruitment.  That is this:
 
In order to be recruited and then sent to Special Forces training, you "usually" needed to already have had three years of military experience.  THUS, according to Randy Engel, the master civilian tradesman husband of Diane Thompson started his military service in 1962.  And of course, I don't even know if this Tom Thompson guy ever existed.  
 
 
Guess how old Diane Thompson was in 1962.  Chances are the you guessed wrongly.  She was 16.  Then, 16 years later, in 1978, she accused Cipolla of molesting Tucker ... and Tucker only, originally.
 
By the way, she was 19 in 1965, the year when her husband, Tom, was said to have been in a devastating special forces training accident at the Spartanburg military base which was permanently closed 19 years prior, in 1946.  It was then turned into a State Park, in 1949.  But, according to Diane Thompson, for some magic reason, Tom was training there in 1965 ... perhaps in a parallel universe. 

 
Therefore, how did Tom Thompson get the time to become a master printer during an era when the printing trade had long since turned "push-button" ... as far back as the 1940s?  That is to ask, how did the young Tom Thompson get the time to become a master craftsmen, when there was only the need for button pushers?  Or is it that Randy explained this poorly, in her defamatory 2016 article which demonized Cipolla from A to Z.
 
 
Below:  Concerning the DE FACTO claim that Tom Thompson was both a master tradesman and a special forces recruit with three years prior military experience, how does a man in his mere 20's become a master craftsman in the printing trade by 1961, when printing turned automated and became a push-button industry?
 
 
In the event you're keeping score on the case which Donald Wuerl used as a diversionary tactic ... done in order to misdirect attention away from Wuerl's undisputed abusive priests ... the magistrate in charge of the Cipolla Case's Aug 28, 1978 Probable Cause Hearing was Stephen Laffey.  He was a local magistrate.  
 
In law, a magistrate is basically "a screener," to see if a case should continue onward or be dismissed.  A local magistrate can also serve as a motions judge, if need be.  In fact, a magistrate is a preliminary judge with a judge's power.  
 
That August 28th hearing was cancelled via Diane Thompson, herself, during a time when "charges" were NOT YET FILED, meaning that Diane Thompson IS A LIAR for claiming that her signature, written under duress according to her, "dropped criminal charges" against Cipolla.  
 
As a reminder for the seventh or eighth time, in every jurisdiction in the United States and in its 50 sovereign states, once criminal charges are filed against anyone, the only two persons who can "drop the charges" in every case are 1] either the prosecutor 2] and/or the judge, including a magistrate involved in the case.  
 
Thus, the whole newspaper narrative of the Drop-the-Charges Nightmare scenario of Diane Thompson, when she was unable-to-see-the-paper-she-was-signing-because-of-tears-in-the-eyes, it was theatrical bull crap.  When you have tears in your eyes and need to write something, what do you instinctively do?  ANS: You wipe them away with one hand and maybe even a Kleenex.  Then you sign your name.
 
Moreover, Hollywood repeatedly had movies which claimed that only the victim can file charges ... for dramatic effect and story-line flexibility only.  Well, a murdered man is incapable of filing criminal charges against his murderer.  Yet, numerous murder charges have been filed throughout American history.  Therefore, persons other than the victim have repeatedly filed criminal charges in the USA.
 
Did anyone in the media mention the asst DA of the 1978 Case? 
 
Moreover, the assistant DA who was notified of Diane Thompson's accusations against Anthony Cipolla was John Marchetti.

The point to mentioning this is that Marchetti is the one who eventually received (uniformed) Officer Mark Ninehouser's Offense/Incident Report.   Yet, Diane Thompson NEVER mentioned this name, when she gave her first interview with the Pgh Post Gazette, back in the 1990s.  

She kept mentioning the DA in a very defamatory way, as if he were the one front & center.  It would have been Marchetti who personally spoke with her and conducted things.  Perhaps she was too stupid to know the difference between the DA and an assistant DA.  

Even at that, I had a cousin who was an assistant DA, and his name was very well known.  It was in a county famous for its Hall of Fame sports legend and its many steel mills.  Yet, it didn't come close to the fame of Allegheny County whose DA's would have been more well known than my assistant DA cousin.  Yet, Diane Thompson wasn't paying attention.  

For the record ... for the seventh or eighth time ... when a private citizen signs a private citizen's criminal complaint, an assistant DA, as either monitor or mentor, gets assigned to the case.  Moreover, there has been a very small percentage of private citizen's complaints which became actual "private prosecutions." 

Of course, the media claimed that the local government in 1978 shut down all possibility of persecuting a priest claimed to have had DNA evidence against him.  

Of course, there was NO DNA EVIDENCE in the 1978 case, and it took over 7 weeks for any DNA test results in 1978.  In 1978, you did not get DNA results in three days, or even within 3 weeks.  The DNA evidence claim of the 1978 was another Diane Thompson lie.

Furthermore, that was as blatant a lie as the time when Diane Thompson told Randy Engel that she had to laboriously, at great sacrifice, pay a $45 fee, for Frank Labiaux to go to the annual convention in Michigan, at the grounds of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.   

Firstly, it was vocations weekend and it was 100% for free.  That particular weekend was designed to inspire young lads into seeking a priesthood vocation.  Therefore, Cipolla didn't go there to molest Tucker or Frank.  He went there to get the religious order to recruit young lads into a pre-seminary curriculum.  It was a typical recruiting weekend, and the cost of it was already in the religious order's budget.

Once again, in case I wasn't understood ... due to poor writing ...  Diane Thompson NEVER had to pay a $45 entrance free for any relative to go to the Michigan seminary recruit weekend.  She lied yet another time.  

The big question very soon in my investigation & fact-checking literally became  ======> When does Diane Thompson not lie?  After all, she claimed that, after Aug 28, 1978, she now had no chance ever of getting Cipolla indicted and tried in a criminal court of law.

Well, in 1978, child molestation charges in the State of Pennsylvania had a  TWO YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, and the US Constitution's Double Jeopardy Law was not in effect.  It wasn't in effect, because there was no jury verdict, or judge's directed verdict, or a bench trial judge's "finding."  

Diane Thompson most definitely could have pursued the case.  She had time, all the way until July 24, 1980.  If she wanted two counts of charges filed, then she had until June 30th, 1980, to have an uncontested "timely" filing.  Thus, she had 22 months or approximately 660 days to get Cipolla in handcuffs, IF he actually did molest Tucker and/or Frank.

Even at that, there was no case in the first place, being that CIPPOLA WAS NOT ARRESTED in 1978 or ever.  He was NOT indicted.  The case literally didn't even begin.  Things were only at the investigation phase.

That 1978 Investigation ran at a lynch mob speed 

The investigation should have continued beyond August 1978, just to make sure that a molester didn't go free ... and just to make sure that the accusing mother wasn't a con artist who literally committed the crime of having filed a false police report.  

However, the sole detective of the case jumped the gun, in his fatal error of NOT corroborating a thing said by then-twelve-year old Frank Labiaux, in an interview with him.  

The detective's fatal error was in him assuming that every 12 year old male always tells the truth to the police.  Of course, junior high school teachers knew that 12 year old males certainly do lie to teachers.  So, why would they not lie to the police?  

 Moreover, a few 1980 cases showed us that there are mothers out there who most certainly did tell their children to lie to the police.

If Cipolla were actually guilty of any wrong-doing, a few more months of police investigation could have resulted in actual evidence or corroborating points of circumstantial evidence ... or a newly emerging witness ... which could have warranted an indictment & arrest.  

If the Allegheny County DA's office were as corrupt as Diane Thompson claimed, then Diane Thompson could have brought-in the State Boys from Harrisburg for investigation purposes ... if and only if she were telling the truth and not playing a con game designed to quickly get apartment rent money, back in 1978.

August 17, 2026

Perhaps we should cover one Randy Engel LIE against Anthony Cipolla at a time

 

She was so positively assured, in her smug arrogance

In 2016, Randy Engel assured us, with great confidence that the evidence of Anthony Cipolla being a serial molester was blatant.  She stated that the evidence existed in the fact that Cipolla was "moved around" a lot of times, in a five-year period.  He was given multiple parish assignments in as many years.  

Engel forgot about the PRIEST SHORTAGE of the late 1970s, when priests were in a pea & shell shuffle game. 

According to Engel, this is unheard-of, and is the tell-tale sign of a molester.  According to reality, however, the multiple parish assignments given to a newly ordained DIOCESAN priest was something quite common.  Engel erroneously concluded that:

Of course, Randy Engel was making it look as if Anthony Cipolla kept getting caught molesting youth after youth, followed by him being assigned to a different parish, as a cover-up, over and over again.  This is why multi-million dollar defamation lawsuits exist.  

In her claiming that it was "unusual" for a newly ordained priest to be frequently shifted from parish to parish, Engel LIED.  It was and is very common for a newly ordained DIOCESAN priests to be shifted-around, simply for the sake of gaining experience.  

Newly ordained priests of a religious order were limited to the parishes run by that religious order, as well as the affiliated schools.  So, their assignments were far more limited than that of a diocesan priest, for the most part.  Diocesan priests were in a different set of circumstances, with much wider boundaries.  By the way, a diocesan priest is also known as a "secular priest."

Observe the reality of a newly ordained diocesan priest ... even in the 1970s, according to the Archdio of D.C, the Denver Catholic, the Jersey Catholic, EWTN, and other sources: 

 ABOVE: Get into reality and take note that the 'TYPICAL NUMBER OF MOVES" made by "NEWLY ORDAINED PRIESTS" are usually "UP TO 5 IN 5 YEARS." 
 
Now, Anthony Cipolla became a NEWLY ORDAINED DIOCESAN PRIEST on May 27th, 1972.  Thus, it was expected for him to have been  assigned to as many as five parishes in his first five years, during a priest shortage.  

MOREOVER, instead of getting arrested in 1972 or 1973 or 1974, he received COMMENDATIONS which were known as "a recognition" & "an expression of appreciation" ... even from POLICE!!!!
 
Therefore, according to Randy Engel and her "good good New Jersey friend," the police were engaged in the cover-up of a molester priest, making the police accomplices in molestation.  To normal people, however, the police were acknowledging a 1970s priest who found a way to keep kids "off the streets" and "out of trouble."  
 
Q:  So, were the police the accomplices of a molester or is Randy Engel the stereotypical & predictable gossipy hag of absolutely worthless value, clinging to her defamation? 

Concerning Cipolla's assignments, I do know that there was one specific pastor Cipolla could not stand.  This is because, he specifically told me.  So, he requested a transfer.  But, Randy Engel insinuated that each parish assignment equaled one molestation accusation each.  

No, Engel simply succumbed to the influence of her pushy and emotionally disturbed "good good New Jersey friend" who wanted Cipolla gone forever.  Engel did NOT think things out.  She trusted her very pushy and hate-filled friend who did leave the Catholic Church ... which was ironic for Catholic-Doctrine-Supporter, Randy Engel.  She was basically a groupie following a New Jersey cult leader, at least in 2016. 

That New Jersey woman freaked out when Cipolla tried to get a home-schooling job as some kind of religion teacher.  The New Jersey woman didn't know that Anthony Cipolla:

1] ... was NEVER arrested even in 1978, but was rather defamed by a single mom who claimed that DNA evidence was taken from young Tucker's clothes and was positively matched to Cipolla in a hospital lab within one, two, or three days time, when 1978 DNA matches took more than 7 weeks to complete.  The testing thereof never occurred in hospitals.  It occurred at an NIH lab, in 1978. 

2] ... was officially cleared by TWO DA offices who found that Tim Bendig's accusations against Cipolla were unfounded.  Now, this is according to the specific testimony of Tim Bendig himself, unaltered & unedited.  There was zero physical evidence and no corroborating witnesses.  BTW, the counties were Allegheny County where sits Pittsburgh and Beaver County, the home of the former largest push button railroad in the World, along with American Bridge Inc, J&L Steel, Armco Steel, Babock & Wilcox, A.M. Byers, H.H. Robertson, and other industrial plants.  

By the way, concerning the Mark Hamill mentioned by Engel in 2016, he was in the administration of McQuire Home, in New Brighton, PA ... and NOT a teenager who frequented the McQuire Home, as if he were a sex groupie ... as Tim Bendig falsely claimed.  This is explained elsewhere at this site.  

Observe below how Tim Bendig was NOT regarded as the teller of truth.  In 1989, Bendig should have been indicted, arrested, and arraigned for filing two false police reports. 

None the less, the list of four people in the center of the case report below are all PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY, and not sex groupies.  The names of authorities include Mark Hamill.  So, Randy Engel's good good New Jersey friend got it entirely wrong.  Her New Jersey friend should be sued for defamation, at a very high price.

Such a thing would have ended Cipolla's nightmare and would have began a new nightmare for ever-so-nightmaric Donald Wuerl who actually supported the sacrilege of Dignity Masses, where a certain mortal sin was honored as a holy act of God.  

Meanwhile, it's a sin that 87% of American males have no interest in committing, and this comprises about 55 million adult males born in the USA who don't care about honoring the Dignity Masses Wuerl made sure to operate in the Pittsburgh Diocese. 

 None the less, Anthony Cipolla also ... 

3]  ... NEVER had to register as a sex offender, being that he was never even arrested for a sex offense, in the first place.  He was NOT arrested in 1978.  And remember, I'm the one who authored briefs that were filed at the United States Supreme;  NOT Randy Engel.

In continuing, Cipolla also ... 

4] ... Had dozens of character witnesses lined-up to testify at the Tim Bendig lawsuit trial which Wuerl made sure would never happen, by giving Tim an out of court settlement shortly before the trial date.

5] ... Was only accused by a Diane Thompson who was proven to be an outright wall-to-wall liar, during a time when she was hard-up for apartment rent money. 

 6]  ... Had no one else accuse him of molestation, even though he had youth groups dating back to 1972, proving that he was no serial molester.

7]  Plus, in the thirteen years since I was first handed the box of documents pertaining to the Cipolla Case, not a single person ever contacted me, to tell me that Cipolla molested him or anyone else.

8]  The 1993 Vatican Case had nothing to do with Tim Bendig's or Diane Thompson's accusations.  

9] Moreover, Randy Engel's New Jersey friend refused to accept that  Diane Thompson was repeatedly caught lying.  And it was Diane Thompson who, after sending me emails and knowing that I exist, publicly stated that I didn't exist, but rather Anthony Cipolla was running this site under my name which Diane Thompson claimed was a fictional name.  

None the less, Cipolla's fatal error was walking into that interview as a priest-with-faculties and not as a suspended priest forbidden to present himself as a priest.  That was stupid of him.  

None the less, Cipolla was cut off by Wuerl, even though Wolk, Zula, Pucci, and Leo Burchianti, as well as Huff & Zirwas were NOT cut off.  None the less, Cipolla needed money.  His reputation was ruined in Western Pennsylvania.  

And as far as goes work experience for Cipolla, it was limited to managing youth groups and prayer groups.  He needed to take with him the docs which proved that he was repeatedly CLEARED by LAW ENFORCEMENT and never arrested in 1978.  And he needed to dress as a layman  Even at that, no home schooler would have hired him as a layman, unless that home schooler knew him for decades.

Most importantly, applying for a youth chaplain type of job was only attempted by Cipolla once.  If he would have kept trying, then that would have been the sure sign of a molester, on the hunt for children.  But, he didn't keep doing so.

The Cipolla Case still has its doubts.  But, it is certain that he was not the Son of Satan whom Randy Engel made him out to be. 

Then came the 2016 article which concentrated the lies in one spot.  Those accusations were posted online before they were posted at its final November 30th, 2016 destination.  I see it in detail months before November 2016.

All in all, that New Jersey woman who was obsessed with home schooling and obsessed with avoiding all Catholic schools was too emotionally immature to understand this about Cipolla.  

She was also asininely wrong in other things, time after time.  After all, she claimed that there was no way I was in construction ... and then claimed that I was a fraud only pretending to be in construction, while fronting criminal activity.  HOWEVER ... 

... there have been about a thousand construction company paychecks addressed to me, as well as ...

... hundreds of times I signed vouchers, deliver tickets, and purchase orders for construction material, as well as me writing-out employee checks in my handwriting and then signing them in 2014, 2015, and 2016 ... as well as me having numerous witnesses see me perform construction activity, including the inspectors, fellow construction workers, subcontractors, home owners, school security guards, delivery men, concrete truck operators, curious neighbors, traffic control flagmen, warehouse employees, building material lot workers, building material store managers, etc.  

In the end, the New Jersey conspiracy theory woman merely didn't avoid all Catholic schools.  She left the Catholic Church for a religion that does not believe in the Immaculate Conception nor the indissolubility of Marriage nor the primacy of Saint Peter.  Her rejection of Catholicism went from A to Z, and she was the predictable pushy, shovey, over-domineering hag. 

She was so annoying and out-of-touch that I had to write to her and tell her to never contract me again.  Only after that did she start defaming me, requiring me to post counter-measures such as my security clearances, including the one below.  

Keep in mind that feeble hags have no power, yet they lust for power.  They get their power from slandering others, to make others appear lower than them:


 So, for the fourth, fifth, or sixth time, if you state about me what she did and Diane Thompson did ... and if you have money ... you and I ARE going to court.  Plus, if you are outside of Pennsylvania, then you and I are going to federal court.  Such a case is known as a Diversity Action.  If you want a war, you've got one.  

I simply wanted Wuerl to grant me and anti-sweatshop, slave labor apostolate, being that defrauding laborers of their wages is one of the four sins which cry to Heaven for Vengeance.  Wuerl did NOT care to stop human suffering.  He only increased it wherever he could.  But, such a thing is typical for a narcissist.

BTW, do you want to know why Diane Thompson accused Cipolla of molestation in 1978 and then quickly withdrew her private citizen criminal complaint, in my private citizen's personal opinion which is protected under New York Times Co v Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964)?  Well here it is:

Diane Thompson, in my private citizen's opinion, was desperate for rent money.  So, she accused Cipolla of molestation, hoping that she would get a quick out-of-court settlement.  This means that, according to my private citizen's opinion:

Thompson didn't know the difference between civil court and criminal court.  When she found out that there was no money in it for her, in her having filed paperwork in criminal court, she withdrew her private criminal complaint against Cipolla, thereby dropping the whole case in August of 1978.  She knew that she wasn't going to get money in time to pay apartment rent. 

 
  
Below are Cipolla's "pastoral assignments."

The Next Engel LIE: A 1965 life-changing special forces training accident at a Spartanburg base which closed in 1947

Above: Cardinal Donald William Wuerl's former Warwick Terrace home

Then came the LIE of a 1965 Special Forces training collision & explosion involving Diane Thompson's husband, at a Spartanburg South Carolina military base  ...

                          ...  which completely ceased operations in 1947. 

According to Mrs Randy Engel, some sort of husband of Diane Thompson underwent a special forces training accident that involved a vehicle collision & "an explosion," during 1965, at a military base in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  
 
That 1965 Spartanburg South Carolina military base accident was said to have been the cue ball which caused Diane Thompson ... the 1978 accuser of Anthony Cipolla ... to be forced to fend for herself as a single mother, in the era of food stamps, welfare checks, and federally funded HUD housing.  
 
The special forces training accident made Diane Thompson look like a harrowed victim of circumstances.  It then made Cipolla look like a monster taking advantage of a harrowed victim of circumstances.  
 
Now, in the 2016 Renew America article of Randy Engel, it was claimed that Diane Thompson was once married to a Tom Thompson ... in the mid-1960s ... with everything ending perhaps in 1977 with an alleged barbiturate overdose suicide.  Randy described the Spartanburg vehicle crash & explosion as such:
                          ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The Definitive Responses to Engel's Assertion go as follows:
 
That Spartanburg South Carolina military base actually CLOSED IN 1946, one year after the end of WWII.  It was then officially disbanded in 1947.  It was called, Camp Croft, and there was no Vietnam-era training there.  The place was a tourist sight in 1965.
 
Moreover, Spartanburg is NOT anywhere near the Atlantic Coastline.  It's very inland, toward the northern border of the State, near Greenville. 
 
Perhaps Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina base, instead of South Carolina.  Well, the special forces training center in Camp Mackall, North Carolina, was NOT in operation in the 1960s.  Thus, you cannot say that Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina, instead of South Carolina.  
 
This means that you can be assured that Randy Engel's Special Forces Crash & Explosion narration was a deliberate lie, designed to make you "feel sorry" for Diane Thompson and hate Anthony Cipolla all the more.   
 
That statement which was easily proven false was also meant to make the vicious Diane Thompson appear to be the All-American sacrifice-making patriot, while simultaneously making the now-dead Anthony Cipolla look like the Enemy of the People who must die.  
 
Well, he died right after  he and I read that 2016 article.  We read before the Renew America publishing date.  Randy Engel's 2016 three-part article was a murder weapon designed to permanently destroy a heart-surgery patient who was not given the opportunity to defend himself ... even though TWO DA offices cleared Cipolla of all of the accusations of a Tim Bendig who turned out to be quite the con artist, from my own personal experience ... and even though Cipolla was NEVER ARRESTED for any crime and never put on trial for any crime, including molestation.
 
Below:  Look and see what LIARS Randy Engel & Diane Thompson have been, in the claim that a "second husband" ... or the father of the second son of Diane Thompson .... was heroically serving his country, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where there was no military base in operation.          
 ★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 
Now, concerning North Carolina's Camp Mackall, whoever this "second husband" or "father of the second child" of Diane Thompson was, he definitely did NOT do any special forces training there, either.  Thus, he did no special forces training in 1965 in either of the two Carolina states. 
 
To get to Vietnam, you needed to embark from California on the West Coast and NOT from the Carolinas on the East Coast.
 
Plus, you needed to train in a hot jungle environment, and North Carolina did not have that environment.  Meanwhile, South Carolina's Camp Croft had already been closed for 18 years, by the time 1965 arrived. 
 
Those two observations, alone, should have alerted the 2016 readers of the defamatory Randy Engel article that the contents of that article were fiction.  In as much, let us now adjourn to the famous Fort Bragg, also located in the Carolinas.  
 
A Randy Engel defender might come to say that Diane Thompson was mistakenly referring to Fort Bragg as the place of Vietnam special forces training, in Thompson's claim that her "second husband" was severely injured during special forces training.  
 
Well, if Fort Bragg were in California or Hawaii or Guam, the special forces claim in the Engel article might have had some legitimacy.  If Fort Bragg were situated in a heated jungle, then the defamatory Engel article of 2016 might have had an element of credibility to it.  
 
HOWEVER, the reality with Fort Bragg is that there was the 5th Special Forces stationed there and the 10th Special Forces Psychological Warfare unit, also.  However, both special forces units were stationed there, only for the purpose of paperwork and management.  Any physical training maneuvers which involved "explosions" were conducted elsewhere, in a heated jungle environment called Vietnam. 
 
Now, the 5th Special Forces was indeed established in 1961 and assigned to Fort Bragg.  HOWEVER, between 1964 and 1971 its special forces training bases were literally IN VIETNAM, to acclimate soldiers to the hot jungle environment.  Thus, there was no second husband of Diane Thompson ... or father of Diane Thompson's second child ... involved in any 1965 special forces training in either one of the two Carolina states, especially in Spartanburg where there were no military training exercises since 1945. 

Fort Bragg became the center of Psychological Warfare in 1952, and the 10th Special Forces Group was assigned to be stationed there, in the psychological warfare capacity.  Then, in 1962, JFK moved the embarkation point of 10th Special Forces to the West Coast, being that the West Coast was closer to Vietnam than was North Carolina.  
 
The important point here is that the 10th Special Forces was a cerebral military unit of psychological academics and mind games.  The 10th Special Forces was even involved in radio transmission academics, as well as electronics.  It was an Information Operations unit.  
 
Its training was the opposite of the violence seen in the stereotypical Chuck Norris movie.  The 10th Special Forces Unit was not trained to blow you up.  It was trained to take over your radio stations and to intercept enemy messages, as well as disabling enemy electronics.  It was trained to intercept your phone call, instead of blowing up the office where your phone was located.  Thus, there was no way in which 10th Special Forces training resulted in any vehicle crash & explosion.
 
Moreover, there as sure as Hell was no 10th Special Forces training in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1965 or ever.
 
This shows that Diane Thompson was NOT honestly mistaken, but rather, she was a deliberate liar in her harrowing special forces training tale which was nothing more fiction.  There was no second husband of Diane Thompson getting seriously injured in any 1965 special forces training "explosion" in North or South Carolina.
 
This shows that Diane Thompson ... and and and Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" ... intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon heart patient, Anthony Cipolla, with the help of their asinine dupe, Mrs Randy Engel.
