A Campaign Under Siege: The Convenient Timing of False Allegations

Chance Bradford Trahan, a nonpartisan U.S. presidential candidate, private investigator, life coach, and advocate for veterans and the homeless, has faced a relentless barrage of legal, professional, and personal attacks designed to derail his 2020 and ongoing presidential bid. As a disabled individual with a lifelong commitment to truth, shaped by the mentorship of his veteran grandfather Russell, Trahan’s campaign exposes systemic corruption—making him a prime target for what he calls a “deep state” effort to tarnish his reputation. Six key incidents—a 2015 domestic violence charge in Arizona, a Mesa protective order filed by his abuser, a 2019 arrest in Juneau tied to a maliciously flipped Clark County warrant, a 2019 denial of law enforcement certification, a 2020 sexual battery charge in California, and a 2023 disorderly conduct charge in Texas—reveal a pattern of accusations and barriers that exploit his vulnerabilities, undermine his credibility, and silence his anti-corruption message.

The 2015 Tempe Domestic Violence Charges: A Male Victim Targeted

In 2015, Chance Trahan faced domestic violence charges in Tempe, Arizona, stemming from allegations by Ashley Lynn Moore, whom he accuses of abusing him physically, emotionally, and legally from 2010 to 2015. Trahan asserts that Moore, the true aggressor, falsely claimed he abused her, leading to his arrest and jailing. As a male victim of domestic violence, he faced disbelief and stigma, exacerbated by his disabilities, which made him vulnerable to manipulation. Public records confirm the arrest, but no conviction details are readily available, aligning with Trahan’s claim that the accusations lacked merit. This marked the start of a decade-long torment, where false charges were weaponized to discredit him, especially as his political profile grew.

The Mesa Protective Order: Smearing a Candidate’s Political Beliefs

During the same period, Ashley Lynn Moore filed a protective order against Trahan in Mesa, Arizona’s Maricopa County court, leveling wild falsehoods that he claims amounted to perjury. Moore’s allegations, which Trahan says were baseless and designed to smear his burgeoning political beliefs—rooted in exposing corruption and advocating for the marginalized—painted him as a threat. The relentless attacks from 2010 to 2015 left Trahan requiring extensive mental health services, a toll compounded by Moore’s immediate move to a new relationship in 2015. Trahan, traumatized, has remained single since, haunted by concerns for his children, who remain in Moore’s custody. When Trahan filed counter-charges against her for abuse, Tempe police dismissed them, accepting Moore’s claim that they were retaliatory due to her custody of the kids she claims are his. Trahan’s attempts to protect his children via CPS were thwarted when Moore dodged investigations, allegedly cheated a CPS drug test with synthetic urine, and went into hiding, cutting contact with him since 2016. This nightmarish saga, with authorities ignoring his pleas, underscores how Moore’s smears targeted his political stance and left him unheard, amplifying his reputational damage.

The 2019 Juneau Arrest: Malicious Warrant Flip and Mistaken Door-Beating

On March 26, 2019, at his apartment on the 3800 block of Lee Court in Juneau, Alaska, Trahan was arrested by the Juneau Police Department (JPD), specifically Officer Patrick Vaughan (Badge #172), on a warrant from Clark County, Nevada’s Las Vegas Municipal Court. The warrant, initially non-extraditable for a bogus burglary charge, was maliciously flipped to extraditable status, prompting JPD to beat down Trahan’s door without showing the warrant or proper cause. Trahan, reluctant to open due to safety concerns, was detained for several days pending extradition. Clark County denied it at the time, leading to his release, but the aggressive execution highlighted systemic overreach. Public records from ACAP News and JPD logs confirm the incident, including video evidence of the frantic knocking and lack of warrant presentation. In 2025, the Clark County prosecutor dropped the charge entirely, confirming its bogus nature, vindicating Trahan and exposing the malicious tactics used to target him during his rising political profile.

The 2019 Juneau Police Denial: Blocking a Law Enforcement Path

Later in 2019, Trahan faced another setback when the Alaska Department of Public Safety’s Police Standards Council issued a disqualification (DQ) that barred him from certification for law enforcement or related roles. Public documents note the denial but redact specific reasons, leaving Trahan to assert it was tied to the earlier warrant fiasco and broader systemic forces undermining his credibility. As a private investigator with aspirations shaped by his grandfather’s military service, this denial was a crushing blow, especially given his clean professional conduct. Trahan ties this to his political profile, arguing it was a preemptive strike to block his influence as a candidate exposing corruption.

The 2020 Sexual Battery Arrest: A Fabricated Smear

On May 5, 2020, Trahan, then 39 and residing in Pomona, California was arrested by the Pomona Police Department in California on charges of sexual battery against a spouse, cohabitant, or former spouse, a felony under California Penal Code Section 243.4(e). The incident occurred at a bar where Trahan, attempting to leave, said “excuse me” to a woman blocking his path. She screamed that he couldn’t touch her, only filing charges months later after losing her job. Trahan alleges she was a “freemasonic witch” from Pomona/Claremont, with inconsistent stories from her and her witness. He pled no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge to avoid a “deep state” trap. Public records confirm the arrest but show no conviction, leaving a stain that aligns with efforts to discredit his campaign.

The 2023 Disorderly Conduct Arrest: Another Convenient Hit

On January 19, 2023, Trahan, then 42, was arrested by the Pearland Police Department in Brazoria County, Texas, and charged with disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor. Held on a $316 bond, the charge—often tied to disruptive behavior—added to the narrative of Trahan as a troubled figure. Public mugshot and booking records verify the incident, but no conviction details are available. Trahan maintains his innocence, framing this as another attempt to paint him as unfit for leadership, timed suspiciously during his campaign.

A Male Victim Silenced: A Decade of Abuse and Systemic Neglect

Trahan’s struggles began in 2010 with Moore’s alleged abuse, escalating through the 2015 Tempe charges and Mesa protective order. Her attacks, he claims, targeted his political beliefs—anti-corruption and advocacy for the marginalized—knowing his rising profile made him vulnerable. The trauma forced Trahan into extensive mental health treatment, leaving him single since 2015 and consumed by fears for his children’s safety in Moore’s custody, given her alleged unsavory lifestyle and CPS evasion. When Trahan reported her to CPS, she dodged investigations, cheated a drug test with synthetic urine, and went no-contact in 2016, severing his access to their shared children. Tempe police and CPS dismissed his concerns, accepting Moore’s narrative and leaving him unheard. This pattern of false accusations and institutional neglect, from 2015 to the 2019, 2020, and 2023 incidents, was designed to amplify his reputational damage as a political figure.

The Corruption Connection: A Pattern of Political Sabotage

Why does a disabled, nonpartisan candidate advocating for veterans, the homeless, and government transparency face such relentless attacks? Trahan believes these incidents—2015 charges and protective order, 2019 warrant and denial, 2020, and 2023—are no coincidence but part of a “deep state” effort to neutralize his campaign’s anti-corruption message. His critiques, echoing Ronald Reagan’s warnings about government overreach, threaten entrenched powers. The malicious warrant flip, shaky 2015 and 2020 charges, 2019 denial, 2023 arrest, and Moore’s unchecked smears align with his rising profile. Public records omit his side, fueling distrust. The 2025 dropping of the Clark County charge proves the overreach, suggesting a deliberate effort to block his path in law enforcement and politics.

Fighting Back: A Call for Truth and Accountability

Despite a decade of exhaustion, Trahan’s resilience shines through. He’s not just a candidate but a survivor, battling false accusations and systemic barriers while championing the marginalized. To reclaim his narrative, he plans to amplify his story on platforms like Corriv, sharing his experience as a male domestic violence victim, disabled advocate, and concerned father. He calls for legal reforms to protect men from false allegations, hold perjurers accountable, and ensure CPS and police hear all victims. Supporters can rally by sharing his story, questioning the timing of these attacks, and supporting his push for expungement of baseless records. Trahan’s fight is a stand against a system that weaponizes accusations to silence truth-tellers.
