Former Colonies corruption case defendants are accusing San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos of being a sexual predator in a full-page political ad running in at least six local weekly newspapers.
The ad pictures Ramos in a photo spread with several male celebrities recently accused of sexual misconduct, including former Miramax studio head Harvey Weinstein, actor Kevin Spacey, politician Al Franken, and Today Show host Matt Lauer.
The ad reads, “For years RAMOS has engaged in a series of illicit affairs with female staff within his own agency.” Below his photo, the caption reads, “San Bernardino County’s existing Sexual Predator, District Attorney Mike Ramos.”

Ramos did not respond to repeated requests for comment Friday and Monday about the ad, which repeats allegations from nearly a decade ago. His campaign manager, David Ellis, said in an email that Ramos was not going to dignify the ad with a response.
“This is another lame attempt by a couple of disgruntled rich guys trying to elect a criminal defense attorney to carry their water,” Ellis said. “Mike Ramos’ record protecting women is one of the best in California. His Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit has convicted 75 pimps who are serving 689 years in prison, including 5 life sentences.”
The ad appeared Thursday, March 22 in the San Bernardino City News, Colton City News, Grand Terrace City News, Loma Linda City News and Redlands City News. The weekly publications are part of the Grand Terrace-based City News Group.
City News Group Publisher Margie Miller said Friday that it’s a paid ad, noting that Ramos is welcome to place ads in her publications as well.
“I do believe in our First Amendment rights, and this stuff happens in the political season,” Miller said. … “I had a paid ad, and I’m not judging either way.”
She said the ad will run again in Thursday’s editions of the same publications.
Jason Anderson, a former San Bernardino County prosecutor-turned-criminal defense attorney, is challenging Ramos in the June primary. Ramos has served as the county’s top prosecutor since 2002.
Anderson, who left the District Attorney’s Office in 2014 to be a criminal defense attorney, said he was aware of allegations by several employees of sexual impropriety against Ramos when he worked for the office. He declined to comment further Friday, saying his focus was “on the future of the D.A.’s Office.”
The ad was purchased by the political action committee Business Leaders for Fair and Ethical Government, formed in February by vindicated Colonies defendants Jim Erwin and Mark Kirk to support “good government candidates,” including Anderson.
The allegations date back nearly 10 years, when the Colonies criminal case was still in its infancy. Erwin, a former county assessor, sheriff’s deputy and law enforcement labor union president, helped spread the allegations then.

So says David Ellis the pimp and panderer of politics.
According to David Ellis, the defendants who were fully acquitted in the “most appalling corruption case in decades, certainly in the history of San Bernardino County and maybe California itself” are now just “disgruntled rich guys.”
If Mr. Ellis wanted to come across as condescending and arrogant, he succeeded admirably.
Ellis is a long time dirtbag slimeball who deserves a long stretch in hell.
Maybe someone can remind him of this article:

I laughed hard when I read Ellis’s “disgruntled rich guys”.
Davey would that be with or without cause?
You talking about those crime stats of Mikey’s and you believe that proves he’s not a predator? LMAO thats good where did you learn that?
You better be prepared to explain the millions in tax dollars paid out for other misdeeds and soon to be paid out misdeeds by your client.
I hear you didn’t like being in court during the Colonies case? I’d think about that real hard before you run your mouth again like you did before trial.
Is Ellis angry he can’t assassinate anyones character these days? Seems the tables have turned.
Take anything Ellis says with a grain of salt. Last time I saw that fat p.o.s he was going to wet himself outside the courtroom while waiting to testify. Oh by the way he was a joke on the stand even his buddy judge smith couldn’t save him. Regarding Mikey all I have to say is tic tic tic booooooooooom it’s all about to crash down on the predator
Ellis aka Repairman.
Ellis truly is a fat slob and a slimeball dirtbag. This guy needs a heart attack. Except he doesnt have a heart.
All you need remember about Mr. Ramos is he is the same District Attorney that filed criminal battery charges against several 11 year old girls and boys at Hermosa Elementary School in Rancho Cucamonga several years ago for injuring a little whiney boy during a game of Dodge-Ball!
Centurion IV:
Don’t forget that Mr. Ramos tried to let a nanny caught on video abusing an infant off with probation until a Superior Court Judge rejected the deal, stating that the nanny belonged in state prison.
Google “Redlands Nanny” for the ABC Eyewitness news coverage.

@12. Damn. Wonder if that will end up on a campaign mailer or news ad?
My opinion is that the mexican nationalist AG xavier becerra is the head of the Mafia.
We don’t see big drug busts in this county unless it’s the DEA.
