COUNT NINE

INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS

1. WILLIAM M. WINDSOR adopts and realleges Paragraphs 1 through 505.
2. WINDSOR asserts this claim against all DEFENDANTS.
3. DEFENDANTS have intentionally and recklessly inflicted mental suffering and emotional distress on WINDSOR.  Their conduct has been outrageous.  Their conduct has caused and continues to cause emotional distress to WINDSOR.  The emotional distress has been and is severe.
4. SOF 119, 131, 133, 134, 137, 142, 144, 146, 147, 151, 153, 154, 161, 169, 187, 188, 193, 204, 207, 222, 234, 502, 503, 504, and paragraphs 654-667 are specifically noted on this Cause of Action.
5. has been viciously defamed.  His fellow owners, mainly senior citizens, have falsely and maliciously been told he doesn’t know the law, is a criminal, and has threatened to kill fellow owners.  An alleged Wanted Poster with Windsor’s photograph was mailed anonymously to every owner.  At least two of the owners called to report Windsor to the Leesburg Police Department as a wanted man who needed to be arrested.  CHARLIE ANN ALDRIDGE and SENTRY MANAGEMENT tried to have Windsor arrested for speaking at a meeting; an All-Points-Bulletin was issued for him by the Tavares Police Department.  Police have been hired to attend meetings because Windsor had allegedly made threats to hurt or kill Board members.  At least one of the scariest owners sat next to Windsor at a meeting with a pistol in his pocket.  They’ve threatened to file liens and foreclose.  One woman filed a criminal stalking complaint against him.  Windsor has found shell casings next to his vehicle and a big snake in his garage.  His property has been vandalized. [See SOF 190, 302.]
6. CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH Attorneys have abused WINDSOR repeatedly.  It has been one lie after another.  Surely this must be the biggest malpractice case in history in terms of the number of issues.
7. The DBPR should be a place where condominium owners can go for relief from wrongdoing.  Instead the DBPR, MAHLON C. RHANEY, and LEAH SIMMS lied and violated the law repeatedly.  This caused significant mental anguish.  The DBPR DEFENDANTS were reckless and showed bad faith, malicious purpose, and wanton and willful conduct.  There has never been an appellate decision in Florida granting immunity to the DBPR or its employees.
8. Merriam-Webster defines “emotional distress” as “a highly unpleasant emotional reaction (as anguish, humiliation, or fury) which results from another’s conduct and for which damages may be sought.”
9. Emotional distress should be a relative issue.  Windsor is a disabled senior citizen.  He is 72 years-old.  He has been humiliated by the DEFENDANTS.  He has developed insomnia.  He can only walk short distances with a cane.  He lives on the second floor and has fallen down the stairs many times.  He is like a prisoner in his second-floor condo where he has become despised by most of the neighbors.  Windsor has been living on an emotional roller coaster for the last two years.  He has studied the law, become confident with the law and the evidence, and has attempted to get the wrongdoing with the ASSOCIATION corrected.  Then there are no responses or outrageous legal responses.  This causes extreme mental anguish in WINDSOR.
10. MARTA CARBAJO and VICKI HEDRICK’s gun-toting husband, David Wayne Hedrick, have accused WINDSOR of being a criminal.  In early 2019, WINDSOR learned that David Wayne Hedrick was telling people that WINDSOR had threatened to do bodily harm to his wife, VICKI HEDRICK.  On January 26, 2019, David Wayne Hedrick sent a letter to OMAR NUSEIBEH, VICKI HEDRICK, KAREN BOLLINGER, and SENTRY MANAGEMENT in which he accused WINDSOR of “felonious actions.”  This is libel.  [EXHIBIT 1029.]  The Legal Dictionary defines “felonious” as “done with an intent to commit a serious crime or a felony; done with an evil heart or purpose; malicious; wicked; villainous.”  WINDSOR has never committed a crime other than some speeding over 20 years ago.  He has never done a felonious action.  He has done nothing with an evil heart, malicious, wicked, or villainous.  WINDSOR considers David Wayne Hedrick to be a threat.  He seems unstable, and he has guns.
11. Upon information and belief, MARTA CARBAJO is responsible for a wanted poster being sent to every member of the ASSOCIATION and is one of the people who contacted the Leesburg Police Department attempting to get WINDSOR arrested for being wanted.  WINDSOR is severely claustrophobic, and the thought of being locked up in a jail or prison causes extreme mental anguish.
12. Having SENTRY MANAGEMENT call the Tavares Police Department in an attempt to get WINDSOR arrested for exercising his legal right to speak at a purported meeting was outrageous.  The Tavares Police issued an All-Points Bulletin for Windsor. [EXHIBIT 1812.]  WINDSOR has a video to prove what happened.  In an Inspection of Records, WINDSOR learned that NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH orchestrated this outrage. [EXHIBIT 1848.]  [EXHIBIT1847.] [See SOF 302.]
13. On June 29, 2019, WINDSOR sent an email to inform owners that he had been reported to the police by the ASSOCIATION or SENTRY MANAGEMENT on June 20, 2019. [EXHIBIT 1088.]  [EXHIBIT 1059 at 2:50, WINDSOR asked “what about the eight open spots on the Board?”  CHARLIE ANN ALDRIDGE said the meeting was adjourned.  She then ordered WINDSOR to leave the building.  The remainder of the video is CHARLIE ANN ALDRIDGE escorting WINDSOR out of the building.  Later that day, owner Larry Lunsford informed WINDSOR that two Tavares Police Officers arrived after he left.  As the video shows, there was absolutely no basis for reporting WINDSOR to the police.
14. Falsely accusing WINDSOR of crimes creates severe emotional distress.  WINDSOR is an honest, law-abiding citizen.  He has never intentionally committed a crime.  He doesn’t even have a traffic or parking ticket in the last 20 years.
15. CHARLIE ANN ALDRIDGE of SENTRY MANAGEMENT repeatedly violated WINDSOR’s rights to speak and inspect records, and she routinely ensured that the ASSOCIATION violate the Florida statutes and corporate governing documents.
16. Having resident Dorothy Liebl attempt to have WINDSOR arrested for stalking and attempt to get a stalking protective order was extremely devastating.  Dorothy Liebl filed a complaint with the Lake County Court (Case No. 35-2009-DR-000650) in which she sought to have WINDSOR ordered to move away from Coach Houses.  Dorothy Liebl lied.  She failed to appear for the hearing, so the case was dismissed.  While that was a relief, WINDSOR would have preferred to get her under oath and prove perjury.  Dorothy Liebl’s outrageous actions will continue to damage WINDSOR.  When WINDSOR needed a caregiver after a bad fall down the stairs and was in horrific pain, he was denied a caregiver because the company found Dorothy Liebl’s stalking complaint online.
17. On January 9, 2019, WINDSOR was informed that one Coach Houses owner, Dave Van Leeuwen, was told that WINDSOR had physically threatened Board members.  Dave Van Leeuwen had decided WINDSOR was a dangerous person and he should have nothing to do with him. [EXHIBIT 346.]  WINDSOR was then told by neighbors that OMAR NUSEIBEH was telling owners that WINDSOR had threatened to kill Board Members.  WINDSOR was told that VICKI Hedrick’s husband, David Wayne Hedrick, had told people that WINDSOR had threatened to kill VICKI HEDRICK.  WINDSOR was told that owner MARTA Carbajo was telling owners that WINDSOR was wanted for criminal charges of fraud.  Someone mailed a Wanted Poster with WINDSOR’S photo to the owners.  None of this was true.
18. Owner Allan Holtz informed WINDSOR about Dave Van Leeuwen.  WINDSOR asked if Dave would be willing to meet with him, and he responded: “No, I’m quite sure Dave wouldn’t be willing.  He literally seems to be scared of you.  My impression is that he really believes that you made physical threats to the board and that you are a dangerous guy.  Someone’s done a pretty good job on him….” [EXHIBIT 349.]
19. On January 11, 2019, WINDSOR emailed Dave Van Leeuwen about the defamation he had heard. [EXHIBIT 347.]  On January 13, 2019, Dave Van Leeuwen emailed WINDSOR to acknowledge the defamation he had heard and to apologize for sharing it. [EXHIBIT 348.]
20. On March 5, 2019, a so-called “Town Hall Meeting” was held. [EXHIBIT 281.]  I considered it to be an effort by CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH to dissuade owners from voting to replace OMAR, VICKI, and KAREN. [EXHIBIT 282-1, EXHIBIT 282-2, EXHIBIT 282-3, EXHIBIT 282-4, EXHIBIT 282-5, EXHIBIT 282-6, EXHIBIT 282-7 is video from the meeting.]  No minutes were published for the purported meeting. [See SOF 184.]
21. On March 5, 2019, NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH distributed a letter to the owners of the ASSOCIATION. [EXHIBIT 267.]  In the second paragraph on page 1, NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH claims the actions taken on December 12, 2018 were at his firm’s direction.  WINDSOR believes this is proof of malpractice.  In the first full paragraph on page 2, NEAL claims the directors were properly elected because “only three (3) people timely and properly submitted an intent to be a candidate for the current term.”  This is false.  WINDSOR has complete proof of this.  In the first full paragraph on page 2, NEAL MCCULLOH falsely claims individuals were recommending self-management and elimination of professional services.  WINDSOR believes this is false and malicious.  In that paragraph,
22. NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH also claims so many of the legal challenges (by me) are “completely wrong, in error, and in derogation of the Florida Statutes and/or the Association’s Governing Documents.”  This is false and malicious.
23. After the meeting ended, WINDSOR spoke with
24. NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH and suggested a meeting to discuss and attempt to resolve the issues.  WINDSOR expressed that this would be far less expensive to the owners.  He refused.  He told WINDSOR to handle it through legal filings.
25. When NEAL MCCULLOH of CLAYTON AND MCCULLOH spoke to the owners at a so-called Town Hall Meeting on March 5, 2019, he defamed WINDSOR repeatedly.  He falsely and maliciously made claims about the facts and the law.  He indicated repeatedly that he was delighted by the legal actions because it was paying to send his son to college.  This outraged WINDSOR and other owners.
26. The acts of the DEFENDANTS have been outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.  The blatant violation of the law and the corporate governing documents has been outrageous.  The magnitude of the wrongdoing must be seen as extremely extreme in degree.  There is nothing decent about what the DEFENDANTS have done.  All citizens should be able to expect that they will be treated fairly and with honesty, especially senior citizens.  What the DEFENDANTS have done is intolerable in a civilized society.  When WINDSOR tells people what has been done, the response is “OUTRAGEOUS.”

In most cases, claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress pertain to one or a small number of acts.  In this case, the emotional distress has come from many people and organizations over a period of two years.  It’s like Chinese Water Torture to WILLIAM M. WINDSOR.
