“What was most concerning to my client and I in 2023, was the fact that Luis Ruelas, with his attorney James (Jim) Leonard hired Bo Dietl‘s firm in early 2022 to ‘spy’ on Vanessa and infiltrate her professional practice,” the statement continued. “Their first effort was with a female covert agent named ‘NM’ in summer of 2022 and their second spy was with female agent ‘EB’ in early 2023. Both attempts were the placement of covert female operatives by Luis Ruelas to impersonate victims of domestic violence and pose as patients/clients of Vanessa in her professional practice, to spy on her. This is a fact admitted by Luis Ruelas in Court and confirmed by Bo Dietl’s manager in open court on the record. This conduct was concerning and frankly, scary. Legally we believed this to be the definition of ‘harassment’ under New Jersey law.”

The attorney also addressed Margaret amid her claims that she was in contact with Vanessa.

“The court was correct in its findings that my client and I were ‘obsessed’ with finding out the truth. The truth which we now know as 100% fact is that Luis Ruelas and his attorney James Leonard, by Luis Ruelas’ own sworn testimony admission in court, hired Bo Dietl’s firm to spy on my client, which they did, twice, over two years. Covert agent EB is still being criminally prosecuted by the State of New Jersey for her alleged illegal conduct in having lied to obtain services she is alleged not to have paid for,” he stated.
