Krista and Steve Cyber Stalked Me

Alley Valkyrie at Eugene City Hall meeting

Anatomy of a Stalking

by

John Presco

President: Royal Rosamond Press

Krista, Steve, and Kim Haffner invoke the name of the “Eugene Weekly” wherein they claim they read all about me. This is not true. If they Googled my name, they would find the “Eugene Abuser” site, that has nothing to do with the Eugene Weekly, or the City Government of Eugene. The woman who started this site got angry at her boyfriend, and wanted to rag on his ass in public. She was losing their private disagreements. Other women contributed their tales of woe. One women is an SM partner of a married man, and is mad when he lied about owning permission from his wife to conduct wild acts. This could be a fake report, and is the one Alley Valkyrie made – after her threats did not work. She promises she would do this – if I did not stop writing about Belle Burch in my registered newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press. When we met I asked Belle if she would co-author ‘Capturing Beauty’. She declined indeed, but did offer to edit – for a fee! We had a business talk. She did not tell me she just got arrested with dangerous Anarchists. Did she feel she would be disqualified in regards to any offer I had in mind?

In the first video of the police call I made, note how Krista violently shoos Cheryl Walton aside. I became afraid when I saw this, as it appears Krista has taken charge of the actions that Valkyrie calls for. Her man Steve appears to know about this paragraph.

“If you see him in your neighborhood, on the street, or anywhere, call him out. Expose him. Make it known that you will not accept and tolerate someone who harasses and obsesses over young women in our community. This man is a very sick individual. Anyone who deliberately makes women feel unsafe should not be tolerated in this or any community.”

What alarmed me, is, someone said they sent an e-mail to my daughter, whose cousin claimed she was on a “kill list” made by a co-worker at Wal-Mart. This caused Drew Benton to take leave from work. Her mental state deteriorated. The report says she stabbed herself in the thighs twenty times, then jumped of hear balcony. She survived the fall, but died two hours later. The police detectives did look at a possible case of MURDER, and tried tracking down our relatives on the internet. After twenty days, they failed to find me. While looking at the suicide of a close relative, I got the terrible news that happened on July 23, 2024

Above is Alley Valkyrie at a City Hall meeting dressed like a dog. She gives a report on human feces in downtown. Alley was on the news – all the time! Her two attorneys helped her – WORK THE MEDIA. Alley did not sign the Fake Report, because, she urged someone to……TAKE ACTION! When Steve stood at the bottom of my steps and said “You’re a lunatic and need to be locked up! ” I saw that he viewed me as a sub-human. Then he used the word “Firepower”. He let me know he was aimed.

Charlie Manson claimed he murdered no one, and only hovered in the background. Prosecutors made a powerful case he had a supernatural hold on his followers. Alley is a proclaimed Wiccan and has a blog. She had full access to the many medias. Why should she deny me that?

John Gregory Presco, DOB 10/8/1946

This man’s name is John Gregory Presco, DOB 10/8/1946. He lives in Springfield, Oregon.

He frequents Eugene, especially the Whiteaker neighborhood, and regularly shows up at activist events. He is a stalker, a harasser, and an obsessed delusional sicko. He targeted a friend of mine and has been writing about her obsessively, and when I confronted him about his behavior, he decided to target me as well.

If you need a concrete example of his behavior and why I am posting this, his delusional writings can be found at https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com

If you see him in your neighborhood, on the street, or anywhere, call him out. Expose him. Make it known that you will not accept and tolerate someone who harasses and obsesses over young women in our community. This man is a very sick individual. Anyone who deliberately makes women feel unsafe should not be tolerated in this or any community.

My Call To Police

Posted on July 24, 2025 by Royal Rosamond Press

Krista is using my walkway to call her live-in lover, Steve, to come over and beat me up. Steve came over and stood at the bottom of my stairs, blocking my access. Both people are breaking their lease, to not block access. They moved out a couple of months ago. I tell the officer they said they sent an e-mail to my daughter, whom they do not know. Note that Kim Hafner can control her dog barking by holding it, Why didn’t she pick it up on Friday when it began to fiercly bark on me – while I was on the stairs.

Threat From Alley Valkyrie

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Royal Rosamond Press

Here is the threat I received from Alley Valkyrie ten months ago. I did not know her. Belle did not tell me to stop calling her or write about her until after I received this threat that was carried out.

“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now. And no, this isn’t a physical threat, so don’t try to play victim. Frankly, I encourage you to contact EPD, as they already know all about you. I will not do anything illegal, but mark my word you will regret it if you write one more word about her. I will make sure that the entire community knows exactly how much of a sick fuck you are. Your picture, your name, and “samples” of your writing will be posted on every bulletin board in town. There will not be a single person in the Eugene/Springfield area who won’t know that you’re a sick stalker who won’t leave a stalker who won’t leave a young girl alone. Cut it out. Now. This is your first, last, and only warning.”

FAKE! Eugene Abuser Site

Alley Valkyrie is an anarchist and advocate. She and Belle Burch got arrested for trespass four days before I met Belle in Ken Kezey Square. Her lover was a leader of SLEEPS and Whoville that just got closed down. I suspect they were looking for people to help with their legal costs. When Belle sent me a poem about her sleeping downtown in a tent, and bar-hopping, I said; “You better not be using monies given to you to help the homeless!”

I have thirty years sobriety, and helped my Veteran friend find a home. When I found him dead, I held a memorial. I showed this to Belle on my blog, and she had no reaction. She did not inform me she was an advocate. I became suspicious. I asked if SLEEPS had filed a non-profit. This is when Alley sent me these threats. I own a newspaper registered in Lane County, Royal Rosamond Press. Alley is the one who made the report below. She was supposed to have Belle’s permission. But, this is the same message she posted on Mayor Kitty Piercy’s facebook, that was taken down. They had political ambitions and did not want any bad press. They tried to censor me.

Above are Alley and Belle’s homeless friends, some who defend Jeffrey Walton who molested a sixteen year old girl. These are Tribal Drug and Alcohol Abusers. The abuse of heroin that renders many homeless is a real concern. Senior Abuse – is real! I am a senior!

“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now. And no, this isn’t a physical threat, so don’t try to play victim. Frankly, I encourage you to contact EPD, as they already know all about you. I will not do anything illegal, but mark my word you will regret it if you write one more word about her. I will make sure that the entire community knows exactly how much of a sick fuck you are. Your picture, your name, and “samples” of your writing will be posted on every bulletin board in town. There will not be a single person in the Eugene/Springfield area who won’t know that you’re a sick stalker who won’t leave a stalker who won’t leave a young girl alone. Cut it out. Now. This is your first, last, and only warning.”

“Please, go ahead and blog my threat.
You have no fucking idea what you’re getting yourself into
You also have no idea how many people are already on to you, and how many people have my back. We also have six other mutual friends who are going to learn about your behavior ASAP
And just so you know as well: if you write anything about me that could be construed as defamatory, you will be hearing from my lawyers ASAP.”

Alley Valkyrie; ” I will also say that going downtown would be a mistake, as EPD is quite aware of who and what you are, and they have nine uniformed officers downtown. But then again, you said you were going to City Council and you didn’t have the balls to do that, and…See More

Alley Valkyrie: And if you do go downtown, you will have to deal with me personally, by the way.”

Alley Valkyrie posted a photograph of me on this FAKE abuser site – after it was taken off Mayor Kittie Piercy’s facebook. Here is the criteria for EXPOSING someone, who has to be a man? This site was made by a woman – for other women!  You got to love this one…..

“They don’t respect your privacy. For example, they insist that you share all of your thoughts or feelings with them, or expect you to let them look through your phone, email, or facebook and get upset or pout when you tell them you can’t.”

EXPOSING A MAN is supposed to be good for the community. Was SHE in a class with Wayne, or the work-place?

Abuser “Wayne”: last known location in Eugene, Oregon

“Wayne”, email used to be Sexually coercive- manipulator- creeper. Kept pushing sexual boundaries when I made it clear what I wasn’t comfortable with. Lives off Horn Lane out River Road. He was on the U of O faculty at one time, former semi-retired professional in telecommunications. By doing internet searches I’m pretty sure his full name is F. Wayne Bowen (But not positive on this!). 

BIG SISTER IS WATCHING AND GOOGLING YOU!

This UN-VICTIM can’t let it go, after HE is gone. All her friends don’t want to hear her silly-ass whining. What is “victim-blamed”?

“He victim-blamed for my previous abusers. He was extremely critical of me. He would start arguments over why I wasn’t reading his blog or asking him questions about music, which chair I picked to sit in at a restaurant, how long I was upset about things, the fact that I didn’t let him yell at me while I was crying without standing up for myself because he “just needed to let his emotions out”, etc…

This is right out of Genesis…This is how the Bible starts.

“When I would tell him something he did that upset me, sometimes he would reply “No, YOU did that to ME”. And when I disputed it he told me I was a “pathological liar”. And when I disputed that he said I wouldn’t know it because I so in denial that I believed my own lies.”

What a damn shame! Try attending church!

“He frequently changed his mind about polyamory in our relationship, starting out very small and then slowly over the course of a year or so, saying he wanted a no boundaries type of polyamorous relationship, painting himself as a victim when I didn’t want that.”

I’ve invented two new words:

Occumorpheus 

  1. a old sick dude hits on two young members of OCCUPY at the same time so he can feel like he is young again.

Witchuntress

“Many abusers do not use these behaviors because they know they couldn’t get away with it. But more subtle emotionally abusive behaviors are equally damaging, although they can sometimes be harder to define.

So, let’s hold Extraordinary Emotional Experiments on unsuspecting men, and eventually they will allow all women to completely change them so they can tolerate them for their sexual enjoyment – only!

“Please do not submit someone else’s story unless you have permission to do so by the person who survived the abuse.”

“He grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and slammed my face into his computer screen. He did not let go of me until I read his whole blog on Divo. It was not very good.”

Mary Broadhurst questioned Alley Valkyrie about posting this FALSE CHARGE against me, citing I might get REAL ANGRY – and hurt Belle Burch. Mary asks Alley if she got Belle’s permission. She said she did. I believe she lied. What Mary is suggesting, is, Alley is SUBJECTING Belle to ABUSE, and really making her afraid, she no longer faking it for the sake of SLEEP members. Alley USED Belle as a goat tied to a stake in her ongoing Tiger Hunt, her need to BAG A MAN – for the abuse she allegedly suffered as a girl!

What this site provides s a Witch Hunt, just for women. If you feel A NEED to destroy a man, a ex-lover, or, just any man, come get with other women on the internet – and go after them. This is STALKING! Here are – THE STALKERS! You don’t need to know who these other women are. You have a common cause. This is very sexist!

What I suspect, is, all these examples of being mistreated, is the inventory of ONE DUDE – her dude – who she broke up with, and was obsessively taking his inventory – GOSSIPING LIKE CRAZY – and wanted strangers to sign off on her demonization of him without knowing they are being tricked by a clever…………you know what?

Just change the word “They” to “He”. is He…………..”Wayne”?

 how long I was upset about things”

Jon Presco

Are you being treated well in your relationship?

Most people know that getting physically hurt is abusive. Being pushed, shoved, grabbed, shaken, slapped, and kicked is clearly abusive in any context. Many abusers do not use these behaviors because they know they couldn’t get away with it. But more subtle emotionally abusive behaviors are equally damaging, although they can sometimes be harder to define.

Here are some concrete examples of things abusive partners might do. An abuser might do some or many of the following things:

– They frequently push or question your boundaries. They call you selfish for putting your needs first. You say you have time to see them a certain number of nights a week and they make you feel guilty for setting a boundary.

– They have double standards or keep inconsistent demands. Your partner is free to voice their opinion or emotions without ridicule but you aren’t comfortable freely expressing the way you feel.

– They can’t handle you being better than them at anything or having a different opinion about something. They frequently tell you what to think or what the best decision for you would be. They may say they know you better than you know yourself.

– They have contradictory or unpredictable expectations, “keeping you on your toes” about how to behave. For example, one month they say you are “smothering” them and the next month you are “isolating” them.

– They make you feel humiliated. They laugh at you or tell you that you look cute when you are angry or trying to be taken seriously.

– They are unable to handle you having a disagreement or different opinion. They keep you up all night and don’t let you sleep until you agree with them or say that you were wrong.

– They excessively text you or keep tabs on you by calling, texting, or with their physical presence. They show up at your house, or need to know what you are doing or who you are with at all times.

– They refuse to respect your identity. They refuse to call you by the names or pronouns you want them to, or they tell you that you aren’t a “real” woman or man, or that you aren’t “femme” or “butch” enough to identify the way you do, or ridicule your physical appearance, or your ability to pass.

– They complain about previous partners or compare you to past partners in positive or negative ways to hold you to a particular standard. They may criticize a previous partner for not engaging in sex often enough, adding “I’m so glad you’re not like that”, and making you feel pressured to uphold that statement.

– They have to approve your friends or dictate who you can see and when.You may not be allowed to talk to certain people. They may act so rude or embarrassing, or “bad mouth” them that you find it is easier to just not see your friends and/or family anymore.

– They use jealousy as an excuse for controlling your actions or demanding your constant attention. They tell you they are controlling or demanding because they care about you so much.

– They demand or guilt you into sexual activity when it is inconvenient for you or when you just don’t feel like it. They act like you “owe” them sex, or that they have a right to demand sex and your body.

– They make you feel guilty for changing your mind, having your own opinion, or wanting to do something on your own.

– They don’t respect your privacy. For example, they insist that you share all of your thoughts or feelings with them, or expect you to let them look through your phone, email, or facebook and get upset or pout when you tell them you can’t.

to be continued…

What does it feel like to be abused?

– You may feel like something is wrong in your relationship but you can’t put your finger on it or name it.

– You might feel like you are apologizing all the time, even if you aren’t always sure what for. You may feel guilty all the time, like you can never seem to give your partner enough attention.

 You have generalized self doubt, uncertainty, and a reluctance to come to conclusions.

– You are constantly “walking on eggshells” or policing your own behavior to make sure that your partner isn’t going to get angry, irritated, jealous, or pout.

– You are constantly reviewing past “incidences” with your partner to figure out what you did wrong.

– You feel like it is your job to keep your partner happy. They need constant nurturing and attention, or they start to pout and get irritated with you. They might whine or burst into tears all the time when they aren’t getting exactly what they want.

– You feel like you can’t trust your own feelings, emotions, or personal beliefs. You feel like your partner understands you better than you do. You may second guess if what you are feeling is real or not.

You are concerned that something is wrong with you, that you can’t do anything right. You feel like everything you say will be misconstrued or turned against you, that you are crazy or too sensitive.

Submit a photo (scroll down for link) or first and last name with a description of someone who has been abusive by committing emotional, verbal, mental, sexual, or physical violence in the Lane County area. 

Descriptions of the abusive incidences are encouraged, but not required. Identifying information like where they work, go to school, or places they frequent (like bars or coffee shops) are also optional. 

Please do not submit someone else’s story unless you have permission to do so by the person who survived the abuse. 

Tag each post with the first and/or last name of the abuser so that posts are searchable.

Our goal is to provide info about abusers in the area in one, easily accessible place. If you think someone may be abusing you, you can look up their name and see if others have reported them. If someone has abused you, you can submit the information to warn others. (It is always a personal choice to out an abuser but a victim is in no way obligated to do so.)

We live in a relatively small community. Together we can keep each other safer and hold abusers accountable.

This is a trust based list. NEVER dispute an accusation, NEVER falsely accuse someone. You may decide for yourself how to interpret the information provided here.

If you would like to submit anonymously, let us know in your submission and we will omit your identity before publishing.

Very emotionally abusive, manipulative, and a gaslighter (someone who tells you you’re crazy and can’t trust your own memory about the abuse) Last I knew worked at the University of Oregon chem lab in Hall A member of Samba Ja 

When I would tell him something he did that upset me, sometimes he would reply “No, YOU did that to ME”. And when I disputed it he told me I was a “pathological liar”. And when I disputed that he said I wouldn’t know it because I so in denial that I believed my own lies. 

He came into my bedroom and screamed at me for leaving during an argument. When I tried to tell him to leave, stop yelling, and not to talk to me that way he yelled over me several times to “shut the fuck up” and called me a bitch a few times until I just sat there listening quietly as he screamed and verbally abused me. Then he got in bed with me and when I told him to get out he ignored me. He regularly would refuse to leave my bed after yelling at me. One time he laughed at me as I cried and begged him to leave. He called me psycho, crazy, abusive, and a sociopath. He wouldn’t leave until I threatened to call the police. And then later he blamed me for the whole incident, something he routinely did. 

He victim-blamed for my previous abusers. He was extremely critical of me. He would start arguments over why I wasn’t reading his blog or asking him questions about music, which chair I picked to sit in at a restaurant, how long I was upset about things, the fact that I didn’t let him yell at me while I was crying without standing up for myself because he “just needed to let his emotions out”, etc… 

He was not cooperative about my desire to use condoms, saying his pleasure was equally important as my fear of STIs, pregnancy, and my bad reaction to birth control pills. He frequently questioned me about my sexual boundaries saying I was “topping from the bottom” by telling him what I wanted and that if I truly wanted to do a BDSM thing it should be about what he wanted, not me. 

He frequently changed his mind about polyamory in our relationship, starting out very small and then slowly over the course of a year or so, saying he wanted a no boundaries type of polyamorous relationship, painting himself as a victim when I didn’t want that. He also said he didn’t want to sleep with other people unless we weren’t getting along which made me be more silent about his abuse. 

He let himself in my house, drunk, at 5am, unbeknownst to me. He took a shower, and bled all over my bathroom. Then he let himself into my bedroom scaring the crap out of me and attempted to get in my bed. When I got up for work, I found an empty purse he brought in with nothing but a broken beer bottle in it. He said he didn’t remember what happened.

 Amateur photographer who goes by name of “aikidojones”. Teaches martial arts. Pathological liar. Uses his photography and so-called “progressive” view of feminism and gender roles to seduce girls. He uses his childhood abuse experiences as an excuse to be emotionally abusive and lies about his unsafe sexual practices.

“Wayne”, email used to be Sexually coercive- manipulator- creeper. Kept pushing sexual boundaries when I made it clear what I wasn’t comfortable with. Lives off Horn Lane out River Road.

Victim of Modern Day Witch-hunt

Posted on August 16, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press

The Cogswells were also involved in an attempt to prevent the execution of Goodwife Proctor in the Salem witch trials.”

I will make the case in one of my books, that I am the victim of two witch-hunts, one by the Alley Gang Wiccans, and the Hefty Haffner Evangelical Haters. These two conflicting religious groups formed a bond in order to drive me out of my home, and Springfield.

When Alley Valkyrie sent me her threats, I responded to this one, saying Belle Burch had never told me to not contact her, or write about her. Five minutes later, Ms. Burch called me and asked me not to publish anything about her in my newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press. But, her compatriot had already launched an attack on me on her Facebook, which goes against their policy. Their attorney, Mary Broadhurst, objects, but she does not tell Alley to resort to legal action if she believes I am abusive. Almost everyone who read this HUNT knew Valkyrie wanted to USE HER DARK POWERS – have sport with me! She was looking foreward to doing a Victory Dance, when I slunk away – like the others! Alley and Belle had invaded the City Managers office when he practiced his right – not to meet with A WALK-IN MOB! Belle calls Riuz a “coward”. We are seeing a Wiccan Police Force that Kim Hafner applauds – with glee – after she gathered a Christine Posse to harass me and the cats that visited me.

There are authors and groups that are very keen on Witch-hunts. Descendants of the Cogswell family founded Eugene Oregon’s major newspapers, and are kin to George and Joaquin Miller – as well as Jack London. Two of the men were journalists, like myself. I am the alleged kin of John Wilson who I have shown descends the Schwarzenberg family, and may be the reasons he was born at Windsor Castle. I got a very Gothic book that I will lay on the steps of Eugene’s government. Inside I will ask why the Mayor and City Council did not back me up like John Cogswell and his family backed Goodwife Proctor.

Watch this video of a real live witch-hunt that will resemble the news we are going to see for many years to come as the Taliban raid homes and drag out people they believe are not going along with their religious program – and thus are a threat! If only I had obeyed Alley Valkyrie ad removed all mention of Belle Burch – who wanted to alter the course of our City Government through CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE, and thus…..she is newsworthy!

I have proven – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that Alley Valkyrie has no extra-special powers in regards to spell-casting, and, in regards to living in a Democracy!

ADMM: I stopped in Safeway this morning and a woman clerk who knew my homeless friend, recognized me, and said hello! If Hollis Williams were alive, her would be livid at the way the Alley Gang treated me. I showed pics of Hollis at our two hour meeting – and pics of myself t a OCCUPY meeting dressed as Santa. Belle Burch did not identify herself as a advocate for the homeless – and a member of OCCUPY – at that meeting! Only when I I.D.ed her hands, and being a member of the group she got attested with, did SHE CONFESS!

There was much controversy about the lack of leadership with OCCUPY. And then there is the group Anonymous. Alternative Eugene Lifestyle, already had recognizable leaders, some who joined OCCUPY. THEY recognized each other and formed Whoville and Themville. Owning stealth, they began to own power. No add Wiccan Power. I began to RECOGNIZE what, and who, is invisible. I suspected Belle might run for office to get Kitty out of there, because she let John Riuz close down Whoville. Belle went to – THE ENFORCER – Alley Valkyrie. Both women had attorneys available. They could have sued me, do what normal people do. These are no normal people. These are very SPECIAL PEOPLE like QAnon. They get to overthrow -all governments that don’t do their will. Mary Broadhurst – will be my star witness, because she calls THE WITCH-HUNT that is being conducted in front of homeless friends of Alley.

The Cogswell family, have risen from their graves, and have come to my defense. They were at the trial of Elizabeth Proctor. They took a great risk by doing the right thing. Did they worry – they were next – after Elizabeth was murdered? This morning the Cogsworth family, came down on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. There is panic at the Afghanistan airport as thousand try to flee the coming Witch-hunt. Will there be trials before the executions?

I am on the right side of history! As I was being attacked, an article appeared in the Register Guard about a anonymous donor wanting to give a large sum to a homeless group. This would be motive for getting me to remove all negative reports from my newspaper. Who ended up with the $400,000

Storm Faerywolf F(a)eri(e) or non?

Alley Valkyrie; Local creeper. Delusional narcissist. Not Feri, but reminds me of a few of them. I sent him a PM firmly telling him to leave a friend of mine alone, and my “threat” will be the subject of his blog tomorrow. He has no idea who he is fucking with.

Storm Faerywolf Give him hell, Alley!

“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now.

Mary Broadhurst; and this is what I mean. now someone who writes disturbing thoughts and publishes them on the internet is now thrown into the same box as a child molester.”
