I Wish I had Better Memories of Dear Old Dad in his Later Years.
The Unlawful Arrest That Changed Everything: How a Fraudulent Private Prosecution Destroyed My Life
In September 2001, while my mother lay sick in the hospital, my father, Robert Goddard Young, began laying the groundwork for what would become an orchestrated campaign to disinherit, criminalize, and ultimately destroy me. I was the alternate executor of my mother’s estate and an heir.
Under the terms of the will, if my brother—who had passed away in 1996—and I had both survived my father, I would have inherited everything. However, when my mother died, Levitt, Lightman, Dewar & Graham, the law firm that handled my mother’s estate, determined that my father was sole beneficiary. Despite this, I was still entitled to part of the estate—yet I never received a single dollar.
As soon as my father was named sole beneficiary, everything changed. He began falsely calling the police on me, making three separate allegations of assault, despite the fact that I had no criminal record, no history of violence, and no prior issues with law enforcement.
The Role of Levitt, Lightman, Dewar & Graham
If Levitt, Lightman, Dewar & Graham were not criminally responsible, they were certainly unethical. They were our family’s long-standing law firm, handling all our legal affairs—including my mother’s estate.
They knew:
• I was the alternate executor of my mother’s estate.
• I was an heir.
• I was entitled to significant compensation for being my mother’s caregiver and for the financial support she provided me, including financing Cardboard Brains’ records.
• My father’s actions against me were fraudulent and malicious.
Yet instead of ensuring a fair and legal distribution of my mother’s estate, they finalized the estate in my father’s favor and then helped orchestrate my arrest through a private prosecution.
Shortly after my first arrest, my father changed his will to disinherit me completely.
The Corporate Connection: International X-Ray Company Limited
There was also a family corporation, namely International X-Ray Company Limited, in which I was Vice President and a shareholder.
• My father was President, and I was Vice President and a stakeholder.
• Levitt, Lightman, Dewar & Graham were the law firm for the family corporation.
• As a director and shareholder, I had the legal right to sue my father for breach of trust.
My father knew that I could challenge him legally, not just regarding my mother’s estate but also as a corporate officer and shareholder. To prevent this, he stripped me of all financial resources and ensured I was rendered penniless, arrested, and homeless.
My Forced Escape from Toronto
By early 2002, I knew I was being set up. My father had money, influence, and a network of enablers. He was building a paper trail to criminalize me—all to ensure I couldn’t inherit what was rightfully mine.
After the premiere of Gambling, Gods & LSD, I fled Toronto to thwart his plan. If I had stayed, I would have been framed for something I didn’t do.
The False Private Prosecution & Perjury
Once I was out of the city, my father went to East Mall Court and, in my absence, falsely swore an information before Justice of the Peace David Lippingwell, claiming that I had assaulted and threatened him.
The problem?
On the day of this alleged crime, I was 150 km away at a friend’s cottage in Fenelon Falls, Ontario.
My whereabouts were verifiable, but the court didn’t care. They weren’t looking for evidence; they were looking for a way to secure my arrest.
To make matters worse, the sole witness in this private prosecution was Dr. Jerry Zadyko, M.D.—the same family doctor who had assured me for over a year that he would back me against my father’s schemes. Instead, he turned against me.
If Dr. Zadyko testified under oath, he committed perjury, along with my father.
An Illegitimate Arrest Warrant
The manner in which my arrest warrant was issued was highly irregular:
• The paperwork was unsigned by Justice of the Peace David Lippingwell.
• The court clerk filled out the warrant, instead of the Justice of the Peace.
• Instead of issuing a summons (which is standard in private prosecutions), the court issued an immediate arrest warrant.
• The warrant justified my arrest with this outrageous claim (typed in all caps):
“A WARRANT WAS ISSUED FOR THE ACCUSED IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY.”
This was an absurd lie—I had no criminal record, no violent history, and wasn’t even in Toronto when the crime supposedly occurred.
This was a fraudulent warrant, issued specifically to ensure my immediate arrest.
Judicial Misconduct & Undue Influence
Perhaps the most damning evidence of corruption is my father’s handwriting on the private prosecution form—cryptically name-dropping Justice of the Peace Robert Kashuba.
This is a serious breach of legal ethics because:
• Judges and Justices of the Peace are explicitly forbidden from advising on private prosecutions.
• Kashuba’s involvement suggests behind-the-scenes collusion to ensure my arrest.
The Kidnapping: Used Against Me?
At this point, I have to ask: Was my kidnapping on July 2, 2002, also part of this conspiracy?
• The same law firm handled my mother’s estate and the private prosecution.
• My father’s legal allies helped him secure a fraudulent arrest warrant.
• I was kidnapped in Yorkville, robbed, terrorized at knifepoint, and nearly murdered—yet Toronto Police refused to investigate, despite overwhelming evidence.
Was my abduction a random crime, or was it engineered as part of a larger scheme to silence me?
A Criminal Conspiracy Against Me
My father conspired with:
• A family law firm that oversaw my mother’s estate and the private prosecution against me.
• A Justice of the Peace who had no business being involved.
• A doctor who perjured himself to ensure my conviction.
This first fraudulent arrest triggered a chain reaction that led to:
1. Multiple false arrests.
2. My reputation being destroyed.
3. Homelessness.
4. The complete loss of my inheritance and corporate assets.
And it was all based on lies, legal fraud, and judicial misconduct.
What Comes Next?
This is only the beginning. The full story is even more shocking, and I will be releasing further details in the coming days.
But one thing is clear: I was framed.
I will be sending official letters and FOI requests to expose the corruption behind my unlawful arrest.
And I will not stop until the truth is fully revealed.

What exactly happened to your brother and when exactly did you film your segment in GG & LSD? Can you estimate how much of the original raw footage was actually used in the final version of the movie? Was it a scripted role, how much were you paid for it, etc.?
