Abreu free, no longer on probation

For the first time in three and a half years, former Barnesville municipal judge Henry Abreu is a free man and no longer under the supervision of the criminal justice system.

Abreu was freed from incarceration last week after months of treatment at Central State Hospital (CSH) in Milledgeville. Doctors there concluded Abreu’s solicitation of sex acts from a nursing home employee which resulted in his most recent arrest were the result of a stroke and subsequent condition that impaired his judgement and those charges have been dropped.

Additionally, a judge in the Ocmulgee circuit where CSH is located vacated the one felony charge for which Abreu was on probation, freeing him from the control of the judicial system.

I can't believe this pervert is back on the streets.

He will be back in trouble.He was weird before the so called stoke. The only thing that would be more suprising is if they would have used the devil made me do it line.

He was fine in LC jail until a week before court. He started crapping his drawrs and babbleing just in time to be sent to a mental hospital.

Justice system fails again!

#9 Anonymous on 11/24/09 at 09:20 AM [Reply]

What does it matter where he lives Cats? He has a car, he can drive (sometimes on his side of the road), he has local phone numbers and addresses of women and girls, he has no felony record now, we have the same local prosecutor and Sheriff we've had for years.

#9.1 cats on 11/24/09 at 12:14 PM [Reply]

Actually, I feel that young women might be a LITTLE safer if he's a distance away. Perhaps he'll get popped for another DUI if he goes trolling in his car. Although DUI's apparently mean less in his case than they do in the average citizen's case.
I don't always think the justice system fails, but in this case I do think this man has gotten some preferential treatment.
I'll certainly remember this at the next election.

Maybe when someone gets killed in a DUI wreck or raped we will have something worth prosecuting.

Our current Sheriff was not in office when this happened.

#9.1.2.1 Anonymous on 11/25/09 at 09:26 AM [Reply]

He was in office while HA was running around being a problem. No one never got around to catching him.

#9.1.2.1.1 Anonymous on 11/26/09 at 02:18 PM [Reply]

Henry was arrested first in 2006. Buice was elected in 2004. That's 2 yrs under Buice's watch before he ever did anything about it.

#9.1.2.1.1.1 Anonymous on 11/26/09 at 07:11 PM [Reply]

So what, it was seven years before that two years.

#9.2 Anonymous on 11/24/09 at 03:22 PM [Reply]

Buice had that case

#10 ANONYMOUS on 11/24/09 at 01:36 PM [Reply]

He was doing this LONG before he had a stroke!

#11 Anonymous on 11/24/09 at 02:13 PM [Reply]

The fact that you don't like him doesn't make him a criminal. SUE THE ALL HENRY!!! SUE 'EM ALL!!!

This is awful.

#13 Anonymous on 11/24/09 at 05:25 PM [Reply]

he used to trade off the booty for speeding tickets. Im 100% positive. This is a crime right?

#13.1 Anonymous on 11/26/09 at 03:30 AM [Reply]

How could you be 100% positive unless you yourself traded out of a ticket?

#13.1.1 Anonymous on 11/26/09 at 01:27 PM [Reply]

That's just a rumor going around town, like the rumors he has video tapes that are getting him out of trouble.

#13.2 Sheila Tolley on 11/27/09 at 09:00 AM [Reply]

You'd better slow that booty down. You may go before a real Judge one day.

I dont speed sheila. I know people that worked for Henry that witnessed all this stuff.

#13.2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 11/28/09 at 08:42 PM [Reply]

You got my attention. I believe what is going around is true.

#13.3 anonymous on 11/27/09 at 09:08 PM [Reply]

Lamar County has no good judges. See the sorrier you are the better, after all look at the times certain people have gotten off for the things they've done. History has a way of repeating itself, so beware when its election time

Hmmm, strokes are bad to cause a fellow to act in this manner.

Seems like I remember someone else had a stroke recently. Carries a badge and gun as I also recall.

Hmmm, the things that make you hmmm.

You are sick and need help!

Happy Thanksgiving Henry.

#18.1 Sheila Tolley on 11/27/09 at 09:09 AM [Reply]

And Henry, you be sure and say a special Thank You to the "good ole boys" that let you out of the wabbit twap. Now keep your hands to yourself.

#19 Farrell Jackson on 11/27/09 at 11:41 AM [Reply]

I have a problem with a Judge in another circuit having the authority to vacate a charge after he was convicted by a jury. I have a money saving idea, lets just send all the criminal cases from Lamar County to that all knowing Judge for him to take care of. We could save all the money that we waste on such petty things as trials and paying lawyers for people who can't afford them. It's clear from this case that it doesn't matter whats right or wrong, just how well connected you happen to be.

#20 Ode on 11/29/09 at 11:48 AM [Reply]

Walter,

Please post another story as I am tired of looking at the ugly, ugly face of this so call outstanding citizen of Lamar County.

Enought is enought to have to see his mug everytime I read your web site.

Thanking you in advance.

#21 H B on 11/29/09 at 08:44 PM [Reply]

I feel the Judge in Milledgeville, or wherever he is, should be charged with practicing medicine without a license. I think all this happening before the so called stroke, makes this more outrageous. You can see how 99% of the Lawyers and Judges give the rest a bad name.

#21.1 Anonymous on 11/30/09 at 12:24 PM [Reply]

If you read all the documents carefully you will see he released HA because of the prosecutor saying he believed it was not a valid charge.

#21.1.1 Melinda Ingram on 12/01/09 at 02:40 PM [Reply]

I am a parent of one of the sixteen year old girls that he bought beer for.We were called for court, he plead.He was found guilty for breaking his oath of office.HE WAS PUT ON PROBATION. WHICH HE VIOLATED!!!!!!Never were we called for any of the other cases.Thank you Richard Milam. I see that you are hard at work.This really perturbs me to no end. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ELECTION TIME.

I am 100% behind you.It seems that richard milam likes to get these men out of trouble that seem to mess around with young girls.He lets off a sex offender.It seems this is a habit for him..Hey Richard Milam!Henry Abreu would like to babysit your granddaughters when r u gonaa let him?

Melina,

Our DA initially got in office because he was appointed. He lost the election in Lamar the last time, but since we share him with two other counties he ramains in office.

HA also made numerous sexual advances to women around town. Despite his history two local political figures worked to get him out of jail when he was busted trying to take advantage of your daughter and friend. He has been doing this stuff for years, long before he ever had medical issues.

HA either knows just how far to take it or he has the goods on local people from some of his parties. Our DA is what we all know he is and we are stuck with him.
