Re: Democrat sex criminal Jamal Washington.

Former Circuit Court Judge George Paras issued two protective orders 
Dec. 4, 2015, against Washington, who said they were associated with 
criminal charges that he assaulted his wife and a second woman. 
Documents in one of these protective orders have been transferred 
out of Lake County and were unavailable. 

The other protective order from 2015 was issued against Washington 
on behalf of a 24-year-old woman who states she worked for 
Washington and has had a child with Washington, according to court 
records. The Times doesn't identify domestic violence victims 
without their permission.

That woman wrote on her application for court protection that 
Washington had assaulted her on four separate occasions.

She said Washington gave her a black eye June 1, 2011, when she 
accidentally broke a power window control of a car they were in.



She stated there were no witnesses to those three incidents, but 
there were witnesses to a Dec. 3, 2015, incident at Washington's 
home, including Washington's wife.

She wrote, "Was being reproached about work. Was hit with a wooden 
stick, punched in face, and choked. He was arrested. Bitten on 
nose."

A copy of a Merrillville Police report, obtained two years ago by 
The Times regarding the Dec. 3, 2015 incident, states an Officer M. 
Reynolds was called to Washington's home that afternoon and met the 
24-year-old woman.

Reynolds said she told him Washington choked her so hard she was 
gasping for air and that Washington "has physically abused her in 
the past." Reynolds states in his 2015 report he saw a bump on her 
forehead, a cut to her right nostril and red marks on her back.
