Catch up on the latest legal news from Jessica Yaniv Simpson, plus Miriam Yaniv and Aunty Ilana Altmann. I’m including all known cases here because it’s good to see it all in one place. March – April 9, 2021 updates in red.
Jessica Yaniv Simpson
- JY Criminal – Weapons Possession – Two charges, one dropped, one guilty plea. Yaniv received probation. Last fall he applied to remove some conditions it was granted. Last month he applied to remove more and it was not granted. Yaniv remains on probation and is prohibited from owning a firearm. Update April: a 490 application was filed, most likely to finalize the forfeiture of JY’s weapons. It was granted.
- JY Criminal – Assault – Hearing scheduled for April 22, 2021 to confirm a trial date of June 25, 2021 in courtroom 101.
- JY Criminal – Uttering Threats, Mischief (2 counts) – Hearing April 9, 2021 to confirm trial date. Andrew Coulthard appeared virtually for this and requested an adjournment. He claimed he was unable to reach the prosecutor to confirm a trial date because he was unaware of the correct spelling of the prosecutors name (Cheryl Stanley). Another hearing is scheduled for April 27 to confirm a future trial date.
- JY Private Prosecutions – Eight under Jessica Simpson, 16 under Jessica Yaniv. None have been approved by Crown or a Judge. At least one has been denied (File 243682). Some of these may be restraining order applications.

- JY vs Keean Bexte/David Menzies – BC Provincial Small Claims –Bexte/Menzies lawyer last rejected Yaniv’s claims and they are awaiting a reply from Yaniv. It is widely speculated that Bexte and Rebel Media have parted ways as of April 8, 2021.

Ilana Altmann
- IA Private Prosecutions – One added, most likely on March 5, 2021.
