Randall Miles and Suzanne Cook sued by their grandaughter; Cook's former victim; Cook plead down original charges and was convicted in a criminal case

Randall Cook was originally charged with more serious charges in the case involving his own grandaughter, plead to child endangerment in a plea deal  under Paul Gallegos' administration. The victim was his own granddaughter. His real estate license has been revoked. Randall Cook spent time in jail even after the plea deal.

The only coverage of this case was on this blog, for months. Now his grandaughter (through her guardian ad litem Veronica Cook, who is also the victim's mother and Randall Cook's former daughter-in-law) has filed a civil lawsuit alleging personal injury and other damages.

The minor victim is being represented by Patrik Griego of the Janssen and Malloy law firm. The action is an unlimited civil case. The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff is 8 years old at the time of this new lawsuit. She was younger at the time previous charges were filed. Due to the age of the minor, I will not post a copy of the lawsuit as it alleges very specific details of the alleged sexual abuse suffered in this new lawsuit. Cook has been convicted of the acts against this minor child in his last criminal case and that is stated in the civil lawsuit.

Patrik Griego is the same attorney who was the first lawyer in Humboldt to get restitution for a sexual abuse victim as allowed in California law. Here is the link to that case http://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2014/04/another-first-for-patrik-griego.html?m=1

The victim's mother is now divorced from the father. In a small community, she has faced consequences for speaking up for her daughter. I will share her experiences  and what others have shared  me at the appropriate time. I was in the courtroom several times and Cook's entire family stood by him.

I have been contacted by people to back off from this case. Due to the anonymous comments, I cannot verify who the persons are but they reference Randy Cook by his first name.

The Ingomar Club never called me back regarding the status of Cook's membership. I was looking to confirm whether they had revoked his membership.
