Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Julie C. Valadez, 41, turned herself in to Walworth County authorities and made her first court appearance, which her previous felony warrant was removed. A cash bail for Valadez was set at $500,000. Valadez had an open felony warrant for 2 felony counts for interfering with the child custody of other parent, and interfering with custody after custody order including party to a crime in both charges.
Julie apparently has decided to cross into the U.S. from Canada on May 14th. She was detained by U.S. Customs on an open felony warrant from Wisconsin in Seattle when she arrived at the airport.
While she was in custody in Seattle, she suffered a critical heart attack and was released from custody three days after her medical condition change and became stable, and she remained free until she presented herself at the Walworth County court hearing on a return on a warrant on Tuesday, which she was taken into custody pending a cash bail release.
During the court return on a warrant hearing, Ricardo Valadez and the prosecutor argued that Julie's cash bail should be at least $1,000,000, but Walworth County Judge Daniel S. Johnson set the cash bail at $500,000. Also, her son Ethan told Judge Johnson that he continues to live with Julie's parents to stay away from Ricardo, his abusive father.
In brief, Valadez returned to Wisconsin in order to challenge the frivolous criminal complaint filed against her, and continue to challenge Waukesha County for allegedly kidnapping her four children and former Waukesha County family Judge Michael Aprahamian illegal decision to prohibit Valadez from having contact with her children during a divorce proceeding, which Judge Ralph M. Ramirez allowed to continue after Aprahamian was removed from the case, and is still ongoing today under Judge Jennifer R. Dorow, who now presides over the Valadez divorce case, despite Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruling that Judge Aprahamian was erroneous to prohibit Julie from seeing or having contact with her children. Julie filed for divorce in Waukesha County in 2018.

According to Walworth County criminal court records, the next preliminary hearing for Julie was set for June 6, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., at the Walworth Judicial Center, room 2055.
A frivolous criminal complaint was filed against Julie Valadez in 2023, after Ethan Valadez her son, then 15, ran away from his alleged abusive father Ricardo Valadez and crossed into Canada to be with Julie. Ethan's name was made public after a run away alert noticed in Walworth County was published in social media. Also, Kimberlee Coronado, 48, and Kathryn Alamea-Xian, 52, were criminal charged along with Julie. Coronado of Waukesha, was charged in Walworth County with one felony count for interfering with the custody of other parent and party to crime, she will have a court status conference hearing on October 14th. Alamea-Xian from Hawaii, who was also criminally charged with two felony counts for interfering with the custody of other parent, and interfering with custody after custody order including party to a crime remains in Canada seeking refugee status.

Julie won an appeal against Judge Aprahamian's erroneous decision to allow Julie's husband, Ricardo Valadez, a former pastor accused of domestic violence abuse and who made false statements in the divorce case without being criminally charged.

Delevan Police Detective Trevor G. Hinman filed a false police report of frivolous criminal charges at link: http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2023/06/julie-valadez-ordered-released-from.html
According to Coronado's Walworth County court transcripts, Det. Hinman allegedly lied on the stand when he was asked, if he knew Ethan and Julie. He denied knowing them. This was a lie because Det. Hinman was assigned to Ethan’s case when he had called police during an altercation with his father. Hinman was the follow up detective who buried the Ethan abuse case. Ethan had information in his iPad full of evidence of his father’s alleged crimes, but the Delavan Police Department gave the iPad to Ricardo. That’s why Ethan had his iPad taken away from him for about a year, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned.
