Your identity is confidential, and specifically protected by laws and the pertinent regs. Only if the case lands in court and the judge finds that your identity is probative will your identity become an issue. Even at that point, you should be able to submit a filing under seal opposing the release of your identity.

I spent nearly all of my teenage years as a ward of the state.

One of my foster brothers and his wife work for the agency. Rabid right-wingers who have long blamed foster kids for the situations they find themselves in. Estranged from his sisters.

The problem is systemic.

>NJ and NY are similar states with very similar populations, you would expect them to be similar in this respect.

You would expect, eh? Well, clearly they are not. Maine needs to do better instead of folks saying why are they not as sucky as us?

Whatever the raw numbers, trends or rates, Maine does a piss poor job to looking out for the best interests of abused children.

People are surprised?

Kendall Chick was not the first and, as we have all discovered, not the last.

Abused kids are more likely to end up in SoPo than they are to be well cared for by that indifferent social services agency.

For about 20 years, DC has not run its own prisons. Instead, convicts are sent to BOP facilities around the country. Last year, 400 pretrial inmates held in the federally run facility in DC were moved to the BOP facility north of Lewisbury because of unspecified deteriorating conditions in DC. None of those moved were Jan 6'ers.

There may be only one other female Jan6'er in the DC facility, also from PA. Just about every other female in that facility is non-white. For someone known to harbor white nationalist thoughts, Riley June is not going to have a merry xmas.

edit: found the article on prisoner moves https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/02/feds-transfer-prisoners-dc-jail-518604 In the sidebar of the article is a link to a Kyle Cheney penned article on the conviction of Riley June. Provides more detail than the pennlive article.

I am not aware of any IP trademark or copyright lawyers in Maine who do pro bono work. None of the Volunteer Lawyers Project attorneys are listed as doing IP work, either. But there is a group out of Boston that focuses on providing pro bono legal IP patent assistance that may of use despite it not being directly in the trademark or copyright areas of IP law.

There are many things to learn and some of what this group offers will provide great educational background: https://artsandbusinesscouncil.org/patent-pro-bono-program/
