Judge Timothy S. Black

ORDER TO CREATE TRUST AND APPROVING TRUST FORM

The Court previously ordered the payment of restitution to Minor Victim A 

(“KB”) in the three above-referenced criminal cases. Specifically, KB was the victim of 

sex trafficking by the above-referenced Defendants. Defendants’ cases have all been 

adjudicated and as part of each of their cases, Defendants were ordered, jointly and 

severally, to pay restitution in the amount of $229,125.20 to be distributed as follows, in 

order of priority: (a) $194,528.00 to an irrevocable trust for the benefit of KB; and 

(b) $34,597.20 to Clermont County Job and Family Services (for Past Medical Services).

Payment of the restitution has commenced, and the Court finds that it would in the 

best interest of KB for those funds to be held in an irrevocable discretionary trust for 

KB’s benefit. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS creation of such an irrevocable 

discretionary trust and, further, APPROVES the Trust Form attached to this Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: 12/2/2022

living children and no living descendants, any balance remaining in this Trust shall 

be distributed to the Estate of KB. 

4.2 Termination due to Trust being economically unfeasible and/or depletion of

Trust assets. Should the Trustee determine in the Trustee’s sole discretion that 

this Trust is so small as to be deemed economically unfeasible for management

compensation for services in addition to the fee which the Trustee may be 

entitled to for the Trustee’s services in the administration of the Trust estate; 

and to have such additional powers as may be necessary to enable the 

Trustee to continue or to dispose of such interest. Grantor and the Court

knowingly and specifically authorizes and empowers the Trustee hereunder 

to exercise all of the duties and powers under this instrument despite any 

duality of fiduciary obligation arising by reason of service as a Trustee 

appointed hereunder and as an Officer, Director, Partner or Employee of 

any sole proprietorship, corporation or partnership in which the Trust estate 

may have an interest.

m. In the exercise of the powers and duties hereunder, Trustee shall use the 

same judgment and care that a prudent individual would use if he or she 

were the owner of such Trust assets.

n. No person leasing or purchasing property from or lending money to or 

otherwise dealing with any Trustee, and no transfer agent requested to

complete acquittance and discharge of such person for the amount paid.

o. The Trustee is authorized to distribute Trust assets in cash or in kind, or 

partly in each and in such manner as the Trustee shall determine. If it is 

necessary for the Trustee to value Trust assets for the purposes of division 

Case: 1:18-cr-00020-TSB Doc #: 52 Filed: 12/02/22 Page: 7 of 13 PAGEID #: 246
Page 7 of 12

and distribution to remainder beneficiaries, each such asset shall be valued 

at what the Trustee determines to be its fair market value on the date of 

such original division and distribution. The Trustee shall not be held 

accountable for any loss or depreciation of the assets after the original date 

of distribution or division.

p. If the Trustee has a reasonable doubt about the manner of allocating any 

credit or charge to principal or income under applicable law, the Trustee 

shall have the power, exercisable as a fiduciary in good faith: to determine 

whether assets received shall be treated as principal or income, provided 

that the distribution of capital gains by regulated investment companies, 

capital gains on the sale of assets and stock dividends in stock of the 

declaring corporation shall be allocated to principal; to charge or apportion 

expenses or losses to principal or income; to establish and maintain 

reasonable reserves for depreciation, depletion, amortization and 

obsolescence, and if any portion of the Trust estate consists of a wasting 

asset, to establish and maintain reasonable reserves for such asset; and to

q. The Trustee assumes no responsibility as to the validity or enforceability of 

any policy of insurance made payable to the Trustee hereunder, nor with 

respect to the payment of any premiums or other amounts that may be due 

or may become due on any such policy, nor does the Trustee assume 

responsibility for doing anything else that may be required in order to keep 

such policy in force. As to any insurance policy of which the Trustee is the 

owner, the Trustee shall have the right to exercise all rights, elections, 

options, privileges and other powers, including powers to surrender any 

such policy for the cash surrender value thereof, and to convert any such 

policy in connection with a loan or loans to the Trustee. Any insurance 

company which has issued a policy of insurance payable to the Trustee 

hereunder need not inquire into or take notice of this agreement, nor see to 

the application of the proceeds of any such policy or any other amounts paid 

to the Trustee, and the receipt of the Trustee shall be a complete release 

and discharge of the insurance company for the amount so paid. If a dispute 

arises with respect to the collection by the Trustee of the proceeds of any 

such policy, the Trustee shall have the authority to compromise such 

dispute in any manner the Trustee deems to be in the best interests of the 

Trust, and the Trustee may enter into any agreement with respect to such 

compromise which the Trustee deems appropriate and may release any 

insurance company from liability under any such policy. The Trustee need 

not engage in litigation to collect the proceeds due under any such policy

r. If the Trustee is unable to act as Trustee with respect to any real property 

located outside of the State of Ohio, then such person or persons or 

corporation as may, from time to time, be appointed by the United States 

District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to serve as Trustee for such 

Case: 1:18-cr-00020-TSB Doc #: 52 Filed: 12/02/22 Page: 8 of 13 PAGEID #: 247
Page 8 of 12

real property. If approved by the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Ohio to serve as Trustee with respect to any real 

property located outside of the State of Ohio, such appointed Trustee shall 

have all of the powers and discretion with respect to such property as are 

herein given to the original Trustee and shall be paid the reasonable value 

of services rendered. The United States District Court for the Southern 

District of Ohio shall also have sole authority to remove such person, 

persons, or corporation appointed as Trustee with respect to said out-ofstate real estate. Should any such real property located outside of the State 

of Ohio property be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, the proceeds 

thereof shall be remitted to the original Trustee appointed hereunder. Such 

appointed Trustee may employ the original Trustee as agent in the 

administration of such property. No surety shall be required on the bond of 

any appointed Trustee or agent acting under the provisions of this 

paragraph. No periodic court accounting shall be required of such 

appointed Trustee for real property located outside of the State of Ohio, it 

being Grantor’s and the Court’s intention to exclude any statutory 

accounting which ordinarily may be required. 

s. Any insurance companies which may pay the proceeds of any policy or 

policies of insurance to the Trustee hereunder are hereby fully released and 

relieved from any and all responsibility to see to the application of any funds 

so paid to the Trustee. The receipt of the Trustee for any sums so paid by 

any insurance company shall fully release such insurance company from all 

further responsibility or accountability to any person or persons for the sum 

of said receipt so stated to have been received.

GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING TRUST

7.1 Modification of Trust. The Trustee may modify this Trust agreement in such 

manner that is necessary to effectuate the intent of this agreement by seeking a court 

Case: 1:18-cr-00020-TSB Doc #: 52 Filed: 12/02/22 Page: 10 of 13 PAGEID #: 249
Page 10 of 12

order for approval of the modification from the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Ohio Western Division. The intent of this agreement is to 

benefit the Beneficiary without causing the Beneficiary to lose or otherwise be 

ineligible for any governmental or community benefits that may be available to said

Beneficiary. No modification and/or amendment hereunder shall be considered a 

termination of this Trust.

7.2 Trust Statements. The Trustee shall keep a true account of the affairs of the Trust. 

At least annually and on termination of the Trust or termination of a Trustee, the 

Trustee shall render a statement of account. A statement of account is a report by 

the Trustee of the Trust property, liabilities, receipts, and disbursements, including 

the source and amount of Trustee’s compensation, a listing of the Trust assets, 

and, if feasible, their respective market values. No particular format or formality is 

required for a report unless a court specifies its content and presentation. The 

statement shall be delivered to the Beneficiary as soon as practicable after the 

close of the accounting period or on termination of the Trust. Within 30 days after 

the end of each calendar year, an annual report must be filed in the three criminal 

cases identified on page 1 of this Trust agreement. 

7.3 Incapacity. For all purposes of this Trust agreement, an individual shall be 

considered incapacitated or incompetent if under age eighteen (18), or if so 

declared by a court having jurisdiction or if such person’s personal physician or 

any two physicians selected by the Trustee shall advise the Trustee of such 

incapacity or incompetency in writing. In the event that the potentially 

incapacitated person is also serving as the Trustee, then the immediate successor 

Trustee shall select the two physicians indicated in the preceding sentence. Any 

such incapacity or incompetency established in the first instance by declaration of 

court may be removed only by such court, or if established in the first instance by 

such person’s personal physician or any two physicians selected as above 

provided, may be removed by either the personal physician then serving such 

person or by any two physicians selected by the Trustee (who need not be the 

same two physicians who may have advised the Trustee of such person’s 

incapacity or incompetency).

7.4 Child and Descendants. The words “child” or “children,” when used in this Trust

agreement shall mean lineal descendants of the first degree only. The word 

“descendants” shall mean lineal descendants of any degree. The words “child”

Beneficiary after payment from Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision in this 

Case: 1:18-cr-00020-TSB Doc #: 52 Filed: 12/02/22 Page: 11 of 13 PAGEID #: 250
Page 11 of 12

Trust agreement, the Trustee may withhold distributions to any Beneficiary whose 

interest would or likely could become payable to anyone other than the Beneficiary. 

7.6 Retained share. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust agreement, the 

Trustee may, but only upon the approval of the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Ohio, hold in further Trust all or any portion of a share of Trust

assets otherwise distributable to the Beneficiary if Trustee determines that there is 

a substantial possibility that the Beneficiary will be unable or unwilling to use the 

distributed Trust assets in the Beneficiary’s best interests due to personal 

circumstance. Circumstances warranting retention include but are not limited to 

mental or physical incapacity, difficulty in exercising judgment about or attending 

to financial and property affairs, alcoholism, drug abuse, gambling, incarceration, 

pending or threatened bankruptcy, marital disharmony or pending divorce, pending 

or threatened litigation, or residence in a jurisdiction or affiliation with a group or 

sect where all or a majority of the distribution may be confiscated or appropriated 

by the government or others. Trustee may, but only upon approval of the United 

States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, hold the Beneficiary’s share 

of Trust assets as a completely discretionary spendthrift Trust in which the Trustee 

is authorized to distribute such amounts of income and principal in Trustee’s sole, 

unfettered and uncontrolled discretion. Trustee shall be fully exonerated in its 

decision under this section to hold, continue to hold, or decline to hold Trust assets 

in a wholly discretionary spendthrift Trust unless such decision is made in bad faith.

masculine and the neuter, and the neuter gender the masculine and the feminine, 

unless the context otherwise requires. The singular form of a word shall include 

the plural and the plural form of a word shall include the singular unless the context 

otherwise requires. 

7.8 Governing law. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio 

Western Division shall retain jurisdiction of this Trust agreement at all times and 

the Trust agreement shall be governed by the substantive law of the State of Ohio,

which shall be its principal place of administration. The Trustee may at any time 

request approval from the United States District Court for the Southern District of 

Ohio Western Division to change the situs of administration of the Trust from one 

jurisdiction to another U.S. jurisdiction if such change is in the best interest of the 

Beneficiary. 

7.9 Right of beneficiary to appeal. The Beneficiary shall have the unfettered right to 

appeal any decision by or action of the Trustee to the United States District Court 

for the Southern District of Ohio for a final determination. Any such appeal must 

be submitted in writing to the presiding District Judge assigned to the three criminal 

cases identified on page 1 of this Trust Agreement. In the event of an appeal by 

the Beneficiary, the Trustee shall defer the appealed decision or action until 

Case: 1:18-cr-00020-TSB Doc #: 52 Filed: 12/02/22 Page: 12 of 13 PAGEID #: 251
Page 12 of 12
