Information on Rob Cottingham
Note: This page presents key excerpts from Rob Cottingham’s deposition, along with supporting case evidence that highlights his role in a coordinated effort—alongside Nikki Ngo—to fabricate allegations of abuse against Lauriston Crockett III.

Disclaimer: The following summary is based on sworn testimony, court filings, and supporting documents. These matters are being reported to the proper authorities for investigation. Allegations noted here have not yet been legally adjudicated.

Overview
Stinky PeePee
Deposition Excerpt:
Rob Violating no video taping rules And Coaching Lauriston "Logan" IV what to say, Coaching is child abuse.
Nikki and Rob both tried hard to falsely accuse Lauriston of child abuse to multiple police departments and hospitals. They all concluded it was a false allegation even with statements from Lauriston "Logan" IV that he was not hurt by his father and he loved him.
This was Nikki's response:
Information on Rob Cottingham
Rob Cottingham, the partner of Nikki Ngo, played a central role in fabricating and supporting false abuse claims against Mr. Crockett. This includes documented attempts to coach the child (Lauriston IV) on what to say, violating video recording boundaries, and providing testimony that has since been proven inconsistent, misleading, or directly contradicted by documented facts.
❗ Child coaching is a recognized form of psychological abuse
False Allegations and Coaching
- Violation of Court Orders:
Cottingham violated no-recording rules and was observed coaching Lauriston IV—a behavior recognized as a form of emotional manipulation and child abuse. - Coordinated Attempts to Fabricate Abuse Claims:
Both Rob and Nikki took Lauriston IV to multiple police stations and hospitals, attempting to force a child abuse narrative.
Despite their efforts, all agencies concluded there was no abuse, with Lauriston IV
confirming his father never hurt him and expressing love for him.
Contradictory Deposition Testimony
Page 108:
Q: “You do not like people who lie?”
A: “That’s correct.”
Q: “And you think liars make a poor parental example?”
A: “Yes.”
Ironically, this statement is immediately followed by dozens of examples of Rob’s own contradictions and unfounded accusations.
Misleading Evidence & Ignored Medical Reports
Pages 74–78:
Cottingham repeatedly claimed that Lauriston IV had five bruises—yet no medical records support this, and he failed to produce photographic or professional documentation.
Despite being in possession of the medical report, he denied reading or knowing that Logan clearly told doctors the injuries were from playing hockey, not abuse.
Pages 19–20:
Q: “Have you read the interview where Logan says he was hit with a hockey puck?”
A: “I have never seen this before.”
(Later admits he had the file and just hadn’t read it.)
False Character Claims
Page 79:
Rob echoed Nikki and others (including Hayes and Ritzi) in promoting a false narrative that Lauriston III had rage and anger issues—yet:
- There were no supporting witnesses.
- A violence assessment conducted without Crockett’s knowledge rated him at the lowest possible level of aggression.
- Crockett passed a lie detector test related to the “Recovered Memory” accusation.
Q: “Has he ever attacked you physically?”
A: “No.”
Q: “Pulled a gun, brandished a weapon?”
A: “No.”
Q: “Any accusations of drugs or alcohol?”
A: “No.”
Inconsistencies in Custody Position
- Page 126: Initially downplayed restrictions, later claimed that Mr. Crockett should only have supervised visitation indefinitely.
- Page 95–97: Acknowledged Logan said he wanted to live with his father, but tried to invalidate the child’s feelings, calling it “fun and games.”
- Page 125: Admits Logan loves his father, despite writing a letter claiming confusion over why Logan would prefer to be with Mr. Crockett.
False Credential Claims
Pages 26, 55, 134: Cottingham repeatedly claimed to hold an MBA.
Page 135: When questioned, he claimed “people in the office told me to say that.”
Inappropriate Involvement with the Child
- Pages 18–19:
- Cottingham took part in “father/son hockey” with Lauriston IV.
- Enrolled the child in programs under his own name—attempting to assume the parental role without legal standing.
Homophobic and Defamatory Allegations
- Pages 35–52:
Cottingham alleged racist and homophobic behavior by Mr. Crockett but produced no supporting documentation or witnesses.- On Page 40, claimed Crockett was in a relationship with a married man—an unfounded and defamatory accusation.
Refusal to Acknowledge Evidence
- Pages 140–End:
Rob Cottingham failed to provide any physical evidence to support accusations.
When pressed, all claims relied on his own word—despite conflicting medical and legal documentation.
Private Investigation Discovery:
Recent evidence obtained by a licensed private investigator confirms that Rob Cottingham maintains an active presence on a gay dating platform, contradicting multiple prior statements and further calling into question his credibility and testimony.
Summary
Rob Cottingham’s involvement in this custody dispute is characterized by:
- Repeatedly discredited accusations.
- Documented manipulation of the child.
- Contradictory and unsubstantiated deposition testimony.
- A troubling effort to separate Lauriston IV from his father, despite the child’s clear emotional bond.
These actions reveal a coordinated pattern of alienation, deception, and psychological interference, with no concern for the child’s wellbeing.
