Gregory Faces New PFA Contempt Charge

Jim Gregory has been a police officer, Bethlehem City Council President, Mayoral candidate, union activist, casino gambler, 911 dispatcher, Human Services caseworker, and short-lived shock jock. He is also a state correctional system inmate, serving a 15-month sentence imposed by Judge Leonard Zito for repeated violations of Protection From Abuse Act Orders. With credit for good-time, I expected that he would be out by now. But not after learning that he's been cited again with contempt of PFA Orders. Judge Zito has scheduled a hearing for July 11.

Last September, when Gregory was sentenced, Judge Zito found him to be both arrogant and manipulative, and seemed especially appalled that the self-proclaimed Mensan would use inmates to send letters to his ex and even contact her after their release.

Gregory was repeatedly told that he is barred from any contact with either his ex, his sister and even his mother. But believe it or not, he has continued to write letter after letter to his ex. She has a shoe box full of them. She knows he's in violation, but is trying to ignore him.

A cocktail waitress at the Sands was also concerned about continued Gregory contacts from state prison, after he was warned to stay from her by state police. She declined to prosecute as well, fearing the bad publicity that would result and its possible impact on her success in beauty pageants.

But his sister filed charges. He continues to send letters to her and her mother, despite being told not to do so.

Gregory actually expected the PFAs to be withdrawn after the election. "The man pushing the complaints through others just lost the election," he informed the PFA Office. "My friend John Brown won. Great guy. Tell him I said Hello in January."

I don't know if the PFA passed on Gregory's regards, but I do know that he is operating under the delusion that he is some sort of political prisoner. In fact, he is a criminal who bullies and hurts women.

His wife (believe it or not, he's married) is divorcing him. His home was burglarized by someone who knew he was in jail and took the time, for some reason, to shred a portrait of his ex-girlfriend. His home is in foreclosure. He appears to be well on the way to serving additional time when he should have been out by now.

All he has to show for the past year is four write-in votes last November.

Gregory ahs told people that he will be in the Brown administration when he is released. He has boasted that Brown has a position waiting or him because he can help Brown with his extensive knowledge of the county. Also how he helped Brown beat Callahan.

I think Gregory will end up being a law school case as to how a simple non-marital PFA got a guy in jail for years.

Who knows?

He has a career in gay porn when he gets out and his first video will be featured on this blog.

He needs a producer and a title.

I think NorCo Twink is his agent, so you'll have to talk to him.

I was just reminiscing over the fabulous radio show of last Summer and wondering how Gregory was holding out, when I saw this story!! Thanks Bernie for allowing the good times to continue to roll!! This idiot should not be allowed out at all!!! I feel real sorry for Lina.

I honestly believe he is choosing to make prison his new home. If it is true that he said to say hello to Mr. Brown in January I would assume he realizes that he will still be in prison after the first of the year! I feel so bad for all of his victims. It has to be so hard to be harassed from someone in a state prison. None of these women deserve any of what they continue to have to go through. Other than extending his stay I don't know what else the law can do. I guess the answer will come when he goes to his next hearing.

Mr. Brown knows Jim was instrumental in his victory last year. He will wait for his release.

I'm sure he will, and will continue to wait after Gregory is released.

Jim Gregory continues to maintain his innocence from his cell. He has had difficulty getting his vegan diet taken care of by authorities. He also feels he was singled out for harsh punishment because of his public persona. As a public figure he has made enemies by his disclosures and he fears they may be involved.

He has asked some people to find the truth behind his imprisonment.

Yeah, Gregory had all this "dirt" on Callahan, Donchez, Stoffa, and we NEVER saw any of it. Gregory = really bad joke and he gets what he deserves. His Vegan diet??? Too fucking bad! As a taxpayer, I would rather see the jerk eat the pink slime or the special meat loaf served up to idiots like him. Singled out? He ought to be locked up in solitary confinement for all he is doing to harass his ex, sister and mother. LOSER!

The truth? Call in the investigative journalist big gun from West Easton, with her blog that "clobbers" her subjects with what she crafts and then argues is "evidence". In other words, she tries to discredit them with stuff.

This guy is making his own bed now, regardless of how he got there. As Bernie said in the article, he should be out by now on good behavior. Based on what Bernie reported here, he may be staring at a longer sentence. Would love to see his bony a*# hauled into court and given another smack down. He obviously can't control himself. That sounds familiar...

It was 1.3, and it was paid in full, just like you're gonna' do.

Still one impressive piece of manslab. I wonder if he is allowed to get his black hair dye.

Following this story, I really thought that gregory had a good strain of marijuana. It really is biological and not drug induced or situational (being hypnotically influenced my mezzacappa). I hope judge ito finds some compassion for him and transfers him to an in-patient, secure mental health facility.

Mr. Gregory ahs said he is joining the Republican Party upon his release. He plans on being an active member.

Maybe he's in AA. Part of the program is sending letters to people you've fucked over in the past.
