![In a detailed ruling issued on September 19, 2023, the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, in Case No. ED111235, unanimously upheld a full five-year order of protection against Jared Levy Ross, DO (known as Dr Jared Ross and Jared Ross). The opinion, written per curiam, affirms the trial court’s judgment that Jared Ross engaged in stalking under the Missouri Adult Abuse Act. The court carefully reviewed the evidence and found that the combination of explicit death threats and prior professional history justified the victim’s reasonable fear of physical harm. Key Facts from the Court’s Opinion (ED111235): Jared Ross was discharged from the emergency medicine fellowship program at Washington University School of Medicine on February 27, 2019. S.A.B., the program supervisor, testified that there were numerous disciplinary meetings with Jared Ross prior to his termination. She stated that he expressed “profound unhappiness” with her and made it “very clear that he was very unhappy with me.” S.A.B. further testified that she felt “very unsafe after several of those encounters” because Jared Ross blamed her personally for his discharge. Although there was no direct contact between Jared Ross and S.A.B. after his termination, he knew where she lived and had not returned a bulletproof vest and knife issued by the program. On August 27–28, 2021, Jared Ross sent a series of text messages from New York to his therapist, Dr. Gary Behrman. The messages were received in Missouri late on August 27, 2021. The Court of Appeals reproduced several of these messages in its opinion: ● “The biggest thing stopping me is [S.A.B.].” ● “I don’t want to take her with me, but I want to make her suffer.” ● “My plan is to inject a paralytic agent into her veins, the same paralytic agent she fired me for using on a patient.” ● “And then remove both of her eyes, her tongue and all 4 limbs, being careful to keep her alive and prevent her from bleeding out.” ● “I want her to live, but I want her to wish I killed her.” ● “I would never harm anyone with a gun including myself, that’s far too easy.” ● “You can report me... but you will never stop me. This isn’t a phase or something that will pass, it will happen...” The court found these messages, combined with the prior professional relationship and Jared Ross’s knowledge of S.A.B.’s address, sufficient to establish stalking. S.A.B. took extensive safety measures, including staying away from her home for six weeks, obtaining additional firearms, and going off-grid. The St. Louis County Circuit Court granted the full order of protection on July 21, 2022, effective until July 15, 2027. Jared Ross appealed, arguing insufficient evidence and improper application of the amended statute. The Court of Appeals rejected both arguments and affirmed the order in full.
