Honorable Judge '''Jeffrey Dana Gillen''' was the family judge assigned to the [[Nebus vs Hironimus]] case.
During the original audience, Gillen ignored medical expert Charles Flack's argument that C.R.N.H. had no medical need for circumcision, that he wouldn't circumcise a son at that age, instead promoting dubious arguments of benefits, indicating in the ruling: '"that penile cancer occurs only in uncircumcised males and uncircumcised males have a higher risk of HIV infection than circumcised males. He further testified that the procedure last only 17 minutes and patients experience little post-operative discomfort and few recovery problems. Finally, he testified that performing the procedure on boys up to 10 years of age is medically acceptable, the concern being that with older boys who have reached puberty, an erection could cause tears in the sutures."'<ref>{{REFweb

Gillen also dismissed [[Heather Hironimus]]' fear of the risk of death due to general anesthesia.
On March 10, while Hironimus was hiding at a domestic violence shelter, Gillen said he wanted to "reign in this case," and added that circumcision is "short, under local anesthesia, and, and the stage of the boy's life, is very, very safe."<ref>{{REFweb

Hironimus was arrested on May 14th and appeared in Judge Gillen's court on May 22nd. Judge Gillen demanded she sign the consent form for circumcision. Hironimus initially declined.
