Hi Friends, Students, and Supporters!

For the last 11 months, I have been silent about why the Samson Dubina TT Academy Closed. The full story will be coming out in trial June 27-28.

Thanks to those of you who have been my supporters during this difficult season, thanks to those of you who are coming forward as character witnesses, and thanks to those of you who are coming to the trial to support me.

The truth is coming to light. You will be shocked when you find out the real story in trial. For those of you who can't attend the trial, check the news next Saturday. It will be a much different story than what you were told by the media last year.

I have everything that I need for the trial:

Full Documentation on Everything

Audio Evidence of the Lies

Body Cam Evidence

Eye Detect Polygraph and Diagnostic Polygraph to Support Everything that I have said and everything that I will say in trial

See You Soon

Samson



Despite this brazen show of confidence, he pled guilty to the charge of Assault https://caselook.barbertonclerkofco...424o5ixu3v70u4pcg1360j63y3dojme34wejfw96pv1s1

Strange that he would plea guilty if all of this is "lies". But again maybe he did it because there was a risk of getting a harsher sentence? Guess we will find out soon.
sometimes when accusation of certain acts are made, whether there is evidence or not , it can not be fought and won.
One has to simply concede that one "is licked".

They usually attach lighter charges to the more serious charges. I can't access the PDF filing, but "assault" in the legal context doesn't even have to involve any contact with a person. It just requires causing a reasonable fear of harm.

If he got into some sort of dustup with a minor student where he was aggressive enough with them to make them reasonably fear some sort of harm, that's very concerning. But it's not nearly the same life-destroying charges that sexual assault and molestation carries.

If it's true that this was all made up, then it's pretty reasonable that someone who would use the law to try to destroy a person for vindictive reasons would also be a person you would could reasonably blow up at.

Very interesting, however in this case he pled guilty to a more serious charge with more jail time. Why would any innocent guy do that? Had to be something to it. Had it been my daughter...

I found the docket of the disposition of the case. It went from a 3rd degree sexual imposition to a first degree assault charge and he pled guilty. His email seems a little crazy. Its attached.

The docket doesn't show whether someone was clearly guilty or not.

And if you are guilty of sex charges on minors, you don't only get a few months of actual jail time and probation. You get many years in prison.

Please don't add in your own commentary and suppositions if you have no idea how criminal law works. If anything, post the language of the court RULINGS as those are the only thing are determined by the court as findings of fact. It really now is sounding like you're trying to spread misinformation and have it out against Dubina.

I posted the docket that shows defendent pleaded guilty. The sex charge in Ohio from Google shows this:
SeveritySexual imposition - Charge DescriptionPunishment
Misdemeanor of the first degreeNo person shall have sexual contact with another when offender has previously been convicted of rape (§ 2907.02), sexual battery (§ 2907.03), or unlawful sexual conduct with a minor (§ 2907.04) , or gross sexual imposition (§ 2907.05).A maximum of 6 months in prison
Misdemeanor of the third degree
  • No person shall have sexual contact with another when the offender is a mental health professional, the victim or one of the other persons is a mental health client or patient of the offender.
  • No person shall have sexual contact with another when the victim is thirteen years of age or older but less than sixteen years of age and the offender is at least eighteen years of age and four or more years older than such other person.
  • No person shall have sexual contact with another when the offender knows that the victim submits because of being unaware of the sexual contact.
  • No person shall have sexual contact with another when the offender knows that the victim’s ability to appraise the nature of or control the offender’s or touching person’s conduct is substantially impaired.
  • No person shall have sexual contact with another when the offender knows that the sexual contact is offensive to the victim.
Up to 60 days in prison

60 days in prison isn't "many years"

So the charge he is convicted for is a first degree misdemeanor of assault. You could shove someone in some circumstances and get this charge based on my research.


So the problem here once again is that beyond knowing some sort of harm was caused to someone, we are still lost on the details that would inform insightful judgements. The idea thar because he pleaded guilty to a first degree vs a third degree misdemeanor is something to take seriously in the absence of insight is nonsense quite frankly, money speaks a lot when it comes to the law in the USA. Sometimes you get what your money can defend.

Okay so both of you guys started accounts in June 2024, and have strong opinions about this case, providing your own "interpretations" of a controversial court case. And none of this is motivated by some sort of agenda against Dubina?

The docket clearly shows that the complaint is for 3rd degree charge and that the "juvenile was unaware the that the act was being committed." So basically, the victims didn't even know they were victims according to the complaint. Sounds like it could be an overzealous parent who didn't like any touching while coaching.

I'll wait until I see the actual court ruling. When this news came out last year, everybody thought Dubina was sexually assaulting and molesting minors. Now it seems whatever happened, it was minor enough to justify a $100 fine and 2 months of jail. Did he take a plea deal with the DA for such a small penalty and actually believes what he says in the email (that he did nothing wrong, etc.)? It's possible, and I've seen defendants do that just to be done with whole thing.

If he did have rock solid evidence though, I'd imagine he would've taken it through to trial to seek a not guilty verdict and clear his name. So I'm on the fence about it.

Edit: Disregard this post, more detailed explanation is below.

Okay I figured it out, and yes both @Truth and @Joseph K are misrepresenting what has happened here.

There are two separate charges.

One is for 2903.13 Assault, which is plead guilty for. This is for simple assault and battery. So no sexual touching or juveniles involved in this one. What happened here? We'll wait to see. It might've been against a third party and not the juveniles themselves.

The other charge is for 2907.06A3 which is the 3rd degree sexual imposition charge. This is the salacious molestation charges we heard about last year. Turns out in the docket it states that the victim was unaware of it occuring at the time.

He has NOT plead guilty to this second charge yet based on what was posted here. The docket clearly shows that he has requested a bench trial and it started on 6/27. It's likely the trial hasn't concluded yet. The final update on this case is the following:

  • 06/25/2024
    • THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COUR TON 6/25/24. DEFENDANT
    • SAMSON D. DUBINA HEREBY WAIVES HIS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
    • AND REQUESTS A BENCH TRIAL IN THIS CASE. IT IS SO ORDERED.
    • JUDGE MCKENNEY. SIGNED BY DEFENDANT AND ATTORNEY.
    • HEARING- 06/27/2024 AT 9:00 AM - BENCH TRIAL

So until the ruling of this sexual imposition charge, we can't say that he's "clearly guilty of the original sex charges."

This is why laymen should not try to interpret legal dockets or documents and then draw conclusions and post them online. It's confusing and misleading as hell. It's extra suspcious when new members create accounts to post misleading info when trial has not yet even concluded.

Edit: Disregard this post, more detailed explanation is below.
According to AI, the legal context for the phrase "juvenile was unaware" is this:
The phrase "the juvenile victim was unaware that the act was being committed" in the legal context typically means that the victim did not realize the inappropriate sexual conduct was happening at the time. This could occur in situations where the victim was unconscious, asleep, or otherwise incapacitated and unable to perceive or understand that the act was taking place.

This detail is significant in legal terms because it indicates that the victim was not in a position to give consent or resist the conduct. In this case, it aligns with the charge under Section 2907.06(A)(3) of the Ohio Revised Code, which pertains to sexual imposition. This section specifically addresses scenarios where the victim is unaware of the act, highlighting the seriousness of taking advantage of someone's lack of awareness to commit a sexual offense.
