This comprehensive legal analysis examines a decade-long pattern of systematic civil rights violations, malicious prosecution, and abuse of power perpetrated against Mr Nuno by multiple governmental and quasi-governmental entities in Missoula, Montana. The case presents unprecedented institutional corruption involving coordinated harassment between the YWCA Missoula, Missoula Police Department, and Missoula County Attorney's Office, culminating in massive constitutional violations that destroyed Mr. Nuno's professional career and violated his fundamental rights under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
Key Findings:
Mr Nuno is a prominent telecommunications professional and President of the Pacific Northwest Rural Broadband Alliance1. A former Lead Network Engineering Technician at Clearwire/Sprint (one of the first 500 employees), he returned to his native Missoula, Montana, to care for his dying grandfather and elderly parents, and work on rural broadband initiatives while maintaining a successful $150,000/year IT consulting practice1.
While the origins of this matter date back to 2015, when legal issues first began in Washington State, directly following Mr. Nuno ending a long term and abusive relationship with Danielle Chard, the extreme escalation of malicious prosecution and systematic harassment began when Mr. Nuno filed a formal complaint with YWCA Missoula leadership regarding misconduct by employees E'Lise Chard and Rebecca Pettit. This complaint, which involved allegations of professional misconduct and potential criminal activity, triggered a coordinated response from multiple institutional actors designed to silence and intimidate Mr. Nuno.
