NCFM NOTE: NCFM Vice President Marc Angelucci is now representing Mr. Cox. Basically, Jerry upset some powerful people in very provincial Mariposa County. We strongly believe there is a concerted effort to use legal means to steal his property and run him out of the county. Also, that the false sexual assault allegations brought against Jerry were used to facilitate the theft of his property. A lawsuit has been filed against the false accuser and a sheriff’s office is trying to locate her to serve her. Something is very rotten in Mariposa County…
Stay tuned. NCFM plans on filing more lawsuits against false filers of sexual assault allegations. They need to be held accountable.

Although the case against Mariposa County resident Jerry Cox has been ongoing for two years, it appears that pace may pick up in the near future.
A hearing about the matter was held this week in Mariposa County Superior Court and it was clear money issues are about to surface ā in a big way.
The case against Cox involves a receiver who was appointed by the court. The court ruled Cox was in violation of more than 101 code violations on his property, a charge Cox has vehemently denied.
So much so, it inspired him to run for county supervisor during the June primary. Cox came in last among the three candidates.
But his case remains alive and well in court, and on Monday of this week, Judge Dana Walton said issues involving money are likely to be surfacing quickly.
The receiver, Mark Adams of California Receivership Group, told the judge the lending companies are putting pressure on him to settle the matter. But what that could mean for Cox remains to be seen.
Adams has suggested a foreclosure on the property; something that cannot happen until Adams has completed the repairs of the property.
The cost of those repairs appears to be where the parties are going to come to loggerheads, especially given the fact it was Cox who arranged the company who eventually oversaw and completed the repairs.
Adams had contested the repairs could cost upwards of $300,000, which included the cost for security at the property since the land was seized by the state after the courtās ruling.
However, Adams was also unable to secure bidders on the project, citing a reluctance of companies to bid on a high-profile case. He also said he feared social media harassment by Cox and his allies.
Apparently, though, much of the money charged by Adams in the case has not been paid. All monies paid have to be approved by the court.
Adams told the judge this week he is getting pressure.
āMy lenders have been pressing for payment,ā said Adams.
Those lenders loan money to the receiver while cases are pending in court. The money is used for repairs as well as other costs associated with seized properties.
In many cases in California, property put into receivership continues to generate income; such as apartment complexes where tenants remain while the repairs are being made..
In this case, Cox has not been allowed to go back on his property, which has basically sat empty for quite some time. Cox says he is homeless as well as without a vehicle because of the action which has been taken against him.
During Mondayās court hearing, the receiver indicated he is wanting to complete the case in an apparent attempt to set in motion a foreclosure. One was filed previously in the case but had to be withdrawn because California law states there cannot be a foreclosure while the case is still in the hands of the receiver.
That was more than likely the reason Adams said on Monday there was just one outstanding issue remaining with the property ā a barn.
Adams said as āfar as Iām concerned,ā he will be ādoneā with the matter once the barn issue is resolved.
āThatās where this is headed,ā said Adams, adding it will āprobablyā be within 30 days.
Walton questioned Cox about the barn and what he thought should happen.
Cox said the barn is ābasically a carportā and he felt it was functional. But Adams said the building does not have the proper snow load rating for its altitude.
Cox also told the court there were people āworking onā the matter this week.
āIām being pressed by the lenders to keep this moving,ā said Adams.
Attorney Marc Angelucci was representing Cox during the hearing this week. Angelucci is an attorney for the National Coalition for Men, a San Diego-based organization which has been involved in the Cox case for quite some time.
When asked to comment by the judge, Angelucci said his āprimary concernā was to āget Mr. Cox back on his property.ā
It was at that point in the proceedings that Walton suggested to Adams he might consider the alternatives to foreclosure.
Walton asked if there were āother potential optionsā in the case ābesides foreclosure.ā
āThe lender is going to want to be paid before Mr. Cox gets back on the property,ā said Adams.
Adams did say āone optionā would be the āsale of the property,ā though he gave no specifics.
Walton said he thought āit is very importantā for āthose other potential optionsā to be discussed.
The judge also said he understands there are āfolks expecting payment for what they incurred.ā
Angelucci told the court he thinks it is unfair that Cox cannot go back to his property where there is income potential.
āThis is not just his business, but it is his home,ā said Angelucci. āIt affects his finance.ā
He also called it āunfairā to use the monies owed as āleverageā against Cox because he cannot get back on his property.
āI ask that he be allowed to get back now,ā said Angelucci.
The judge told all of the parties involved they needed to meet about the issues within the next 14 days. He also scheduled another status update for Monday, Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. in superior court.
He said āall parties must meet in conferā within the two-week time period.
The judge then turned to Cox and asked him if there were any other issues āother than wanting to get back home because Iām going to try to my best as soon as possible.ā
Cox thanked the judge for the statement and the hearing was closed.
The history of the Cox case has been controversial from the outset. Cox is the owner of JDC Land Co., which is a ranch located north of the airport in Mariposa County.
Cox was also the subject of a criminal investigation in which has was charged with 14 sex-related felonies that could have resulted in a life sentence in prison.
But those charges were dropped after almost two years. Cox contends the charges were specifically targeting him and were being pushed by county officials. He also contends county officials attempted to use those charges in the civil case to paint a bad picture of him in order to sway the court.
The county denies that is the case.
Cox was accused of sex crimes by a woman he met on the dating siteĀ farmersonly.com, but he claims he was the target of a woman with a history of trying to extort men.
He was arrested for the crimes and the case hung over him for two years before it was dropped by the Mariposa County District Attorney. It is unusual for a case involving so many serious sex-related felonies to be dropped.
Cox claims the county didnāt investigate the claims of the woman properly and it caused the case to drag out for that length of time.
The district attorney has only said there was not enough evidence to bring the case to trial.
Since that case was dropped, the receivership case has been ongoing in the superior court.
Mr. Adams, his corporations and this receivership is a farce. After sitting in the courtroom and watching both cases, a criminal rape case as well as the receivership case there are points that canāt be dismissed nor swept under the rug as the County of Mariposa wishes us to do.
Mr. Cox was accused of several life imprisonment charges by an Ashley Harris. A female, who now faces charges for destroying a manās life with the help of the County of Mariposa.Ā Not one charge was proven nor, after two years and a gross amount of money, death threats on Mr. Cox , and financial and emotional abuse, his mugshot posted across the country and on newspapers (who never retracted except the Mariposa Gazette who has tried, in great effort, to report the truth), and physical threats as well as being banned from local businesses due to the coverage and accusations did Mr. Cox get any apology from the county.
What Mr. Cox got was two weeks before the criminal case was dropped, the County of Mariposa extended the criminal case court date, filed a receivership before the next date of the criminal case and took his land. Mr. Cox wasnāt even allowed the decency of the DA Cooke, to have a court date, his attorneys, after the receivership was filed, received an email stating the criminal court date had been canceled and all charges had been dropped. No statement was ever released by the county and the rug sweeping began.
At public meeting, on video, Mariposa DA Cooke stated that the minute he knew Ms. Harris had lied he moved to drop the charges. Not true, DA Cooke, using a tactic that was venomously declined, tried to have Mr. Cox take a lesser charge obviously to cover up the fact that the County of Mariposa had spent two years destroying a manās life with public funds when they had facts and statements fully aware of his innocence. I assume, using leverage of a possible life term, DA Cooke assumed Mr. Cox would cave. Mr. Cox is not that kind of man. In this process, several prosecutors left, and DA Cooke is not seeking reelection. Ā
And now to the receivership, Mark Adams, hired by the County of Mariposa, who has been fired from other receiverships and his ethics in question, files a receivership on Mr. Cox, commingling the above criminal case, and attaching a mugshot of Mr. Cox to the documents, the county knowing of his innocence. They implied Mr. Cox was dangerous and at one point, Mr. Adams stated the need for security in his Los Angeles County offices.Ā The County of Mariposa stating they needed to up their security as well. Of course, leading to more costs. After being allowed to charge more than 200 thousand dollars for security, including such charges as 200.00 an hour to feed a barn cat, Mr. Adams stated at no time did Mr. Cox attempt to get on the property without his permission and the security could probably be lowered. Mark Adams has not been on the property more than a handful of times in two years. Has hired people who feed the horses moldy hay and thrown family parties on the same property deemed unsafe. He has filed an illegal foreclosure, been disrespectful in court to the judge and other attorneys. He wants paid for what? Hiring someone to feed a barn cat for 200.00 an hour? For taking over a property he has know knowledge of how to handle, stating in on article, he was on a LEARNING CURVE. Well Mark Adams, it sounds like you are an intern and consider your payment your new knowledge.
If this man is allowed a dime after the personal destruction of Mr. Cox as well as his ranch, and the flagrant disregard for his assigned job as well as the abundance of trumped up charges, as well as stating his LENDER will not want Mr. Cox back on his property until the LENDER is paid, it will be a crime as far as I am concerned. Mr. Adams LENDER should go after Mr. Adams for full funds of a gross neglect in handing this receivership.
Thank you Tee! We agree completely.
These dirty officials need to be stripped of their titles. I canāt believe this case has dragged on this long. This is what happens when the system is full of corruption.
There is a lot more than lawyers. And NCFM watching the unethical twist n turns in this case! This case is terminal cancer to Mariposa County and if the proper and fair treatment isn’t applied Cox will own Mariposa County
great story! Mariposa County are idiots cause the criminal case needed to be resolved first then proceed with a civil lawsuit not visa versa like they did! This way they illegally incriminated his civil receivership case and everything is now void in the Court of law and huge lawsuit against Mariposa County is authenicated
