By August 2019, the situation escalated, leading Mainor to obtain a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) against Monson. Despite this, Monson was charged in September 2019 and again in September 2020 with violating the TPO. He faced serious legal repercussions, including an aggravated assault charge in January 2021 which could have resulted in a 20-year prison sentence.
The lawsuit delves into accusations against Arrington, who served as Monson’s attorney. Mainor claims Arrington used his influence to undermine her case by keeping Willis informed via email and allegedly disparaging Mainor in communications with Willis. Consequently, she asserts that Willis, swayed by Arrington, downgraded charges against Monson, ultimately offering him a lenient plea deal.
“Plaintiff Mainor has been forced to advocate for herself and her safety, although that is the District Attorney’s role,” the lawsuit states, highlighting a purported failure by Willis to uphold her duties impartially.
The complications for Willis do not end there. She has been under scrutiny for her professional and personal decisions, including a controversial $700,000 employment arrangement with a subordinate attorney involved in the high-profile criminal case against former President Donald Trump. These actions have sparked further investigations into Willis’ conduct by both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Georgia Senate, with Governor Brian Kemp stepping in this March to address the broader issue of activist district attorneys.

This legal action by Mainor underscores a broader narrative of alleged negligence and bias in Fulton County’s handling of legal protections for its citizens, intertwining personal safety concerns with political affiliations and influences. The case promises to shed light on the intersection of law enforcement duties and political pressures, as Mainor seeks justice not only for herself but also as a stand against what she perceives as a failure of the legal system to provide equal protection under the law.
