S tauffer C ontinues
P ursuit of O ld J udgment
atherine Stauffer, the former Just Out pho-
»x tographer who is suing the Oregon Citizens
Alliance, says the quest to get her money con
tinues. She is suing the anti-gay group for fraud.
She also plans to seek punitive damages and
recover attorney fees.
Stauffer won a lawsuit stemming from an
assault she suffered at the hands of an O CA
administrator during the early 1990s. The or
ganization has yet to pay the judgment, and she
says interest and legal fees are adding up,
although she refrained from estimating how
much was owed. The original judgment was
$31,000.
Stauffers lawyers requested financial doc
uments Dec. 27 from the O C A , the Mabons
and the organizations board of directors for
the upcoming deposition. She says they have
45 days to respond to the request. If the case
can’t be settled out of court, she says she will
take it to trial.
Last fall, Stauffer hauled Lon and Bonnie
Mahon into a Multnomah County court for a
judgment debtor hearing because of the organi
zation’s unpaid debt. Despite the Yes on 9 Cam
paign fund raising, the couple claimed the O CA
was broke and unable to pay up.
Their attorney insisted the Yes on 9 Cam
paign was not related to the O C A Educational
Foundation—one of the many O C A organiza
tions headed by the Mabons. Technically, the
foundation owes Stauffer the money.
The Mabons have maintained the founda
tion is broke and has no relationship to the
other O C A organizations that have funds.
Stauffer’s attorneys maintain that all of the
O C A organizations are related and that the
Mabons moved money between them to avoid
paying the judgment.
After hours of judgment debtor exam deposi
tions during last autumns fight over Measure 9,
another O C A anti-gay ballot measure, Stauffer
walked away with just a few hundred dollars,
garnished from the accounts of the OCA.
