Authorities this week charged Mark Moalem, a San Jose fire captain and Gilroy resident, with crimes related to the theft of narcotic painkillers and sedatives from the San Jose Fire Department.
Moalem, 45, allegedly stole controlled medications, including morphine, that are typically used by paramedics to treat the ill or injured in emergencies, says a press release from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
The types of medications he allegedly stole are kept secured inside fire engines, and Moalem allegedly tampered with and took vials of the controlled substances from one or more of the lockboxes, the DAs office said.
in Department 23 at the Hall of Justice in San Jose. If convicted, he will face time in prison.
“The community puts their lives in the hands of first responders during emergencies,” DA Jeff Rosen said. “There is no excuse for violating the trust and safety of Santa Clara County residents.”
On April 14, San Jose firefighters reported a vial of morphine looked like it had been tampered with at Station 4 off Leigh Avenue, authorities said. A paramedic further reported that morphine from another fire station was given to a patient that same day, but the medication had no effect on the patient.
Furthermore, an audit of all 34 fire stations found that vials of morphine and midazolam—a benzodiazepine—had been tampered with at 17 fire stations throughout San Jose, authorities said. In some incidents, the drugs had apparently been removed from the vials and replaced with another substance.
Investigators also found that a box containing narcotics vials was missing from a fire truck, the DAs office said.
The San Jose Police Department investigated, and used a license plate reader system to track Moalem’s vehicle in the area of the fire station during the period the box of narcotics was stolen, the DAs office continued. The driver in the images matched Moalem’s description.
Moalem was previously arrested in 2013 for possession of a controlled substance and being under the influence of an opiate, authorities said. He was employed with SJFD at the time.
The DAs office added that Moalem was a suspect in a 2023 incident in which a bottle of morphine was stolen from a fire station.
On April 8, 2025, Moalem was seen at SJFD Station 29—which he was not assigned to—standing between two fire trucks near where a box of narcotics was stored, the DAs office added. Moalem was off duty at the time of this sighting.
A search warrant for Moalem’s home in Gilroy produced a large quantity of needles, six SJFD vial caps for morphine, four SJFD vials of midazolam, four SJFD vial caps for Midaxolam and four bags of IV saline solution, authorities said. Three of the IV bags appeared to have been used.
Moalem is a 22-year veteran of SJFD. He is currently on leave.
Moalem was arraigned May 19 at the Hall of Justice in San Jose, on charges related to the theft of narcotics. If convicted, he faces a prison sentence.
With a straight face, he talked about the importance of public trust , including in the D.A.’s Office. He went on to say that the firefighter should no longer work in fire department because his actions endangered the public.
Rosen is one of the best deflectors that I have ever seen.

I have been begging Mr. Rosen to help my kids. He just ignores me, allowing a child predator to volunteer at several schools in SJ and Cupertino.

Da Jeff Rosen has been helping my former attorney get out of felony charges for years. Here is one instance in which he dismissed a case against Valerie Houghton.

https://davisvanguard.org/2023/10/is-your-childs-attorney-a-crook/
Most of the time, he just doesn’t file charges. He lets Valerie Houghton stalk, hack, and assault her clients. Mr. Rosen also allows Ms. Houghton to sexually abuse children by proxy. See my physical injuries, as well as many of the sick pedophile posts that I was directed to view.

I told Mr. Rosen about the sex trafficking and physical assaults. I was sure that he would be flabbergasted, and would do something to protect me and my kids. All he did was file charges against ME. I did not even commit a crime. The whole goal was to being the matter to competency hearings and discredit my claims.
Jeff Rosen is just not being honest when he claims to be protecting the community. By not addressing the abuse of my kids, he is allowing a child predator to have free access to children in Cupertino and San Jose.
Valerie Houghton says:
“It’s not rape if they want it.”
“She’ll [my youngest daughter] will have fun!”
“Pedophilia is not crime.”
“Pedophilia is part of gender identity.”
The only thing wrong with “Pedophilia” is the associated “stigma”.
If only it stopped with these deranged views on sexuality. The person sex trafficking my kids is so indignant about doing it that she became violent when I complained. All of my organs are now damaged, testicles atrophied and the shape of my face has changed.
This is someone that is obviously sick, and should not have influence over what the D.A.’s Office does.
Yet D.A. Rosen keeps talking about his commitment to public safety.
I sent D.A. Rosen all of Valerie Houghton’s social media threats to me.

Mr. Rosen just didn’t give a damn about what she is doing to me.
If children being raped or people being injured is not of utmost importance to Jeff Rosen, then what is it that he truly cares about?
I believe that he says about the importance of public safety and the need for trust in the Office of the District Attorney is all a lie. He just says it so well that the community believes it, and he continues to be elected.
There are new articles that were published last week on a pediatrician losing their medical license.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/05/21/former-santa-clara-county-child-welfare-physician-accused-of-sexually-abusing-kids-loses-medical-license/
Dr. Patrick Clyne used to be the Chief Pediatrician for Santa Clara County. He used to be the one to examine molested kids and testify in trials for the prosecution. Over the decades, Dr. Clyne has been accused of molesting 12 kids that he fostered in his San Jose home. He has also been accused of molesting children that were his patients.
In 2011, Jeff Rosen put him on the Brady list. This was the statement that his office released:
[a committee of prosecutors] “feels that there is substantial evidence that Dr. Clyne committed multiple crimes involving moral turpitude, specifically sexual assault.”
https://www.mercurynews.com/2011/04/23/new-details-emerge-about-fired-santa-clara-county-pediatrician-accused-of-sexual-molestation/
With the shear number of children accusing this doctor and the drastic step that put Dr. Clyne on the Brady list, why didn’t D.A. Rosen actually prosecute him? Didn’t he care that Dr. Clyne went on to molest more children in his private practice located in Watsonville?
Could it be that child molestation just doesn’t bother Mr. Rosen?
Why does he let child molester freely rape children?
1. It shouldn’t take victims to be numbered in the dozens for the District Attorney to take action.
2. It is not much of a deterrence to only put a child molester on the Brady List. Dr. Patrick Clyne went out to abuse more children. It would have been more effective if he had prosecuted Dr. Clyne, then had him put on the sex offender list. D.A. Rosen didn’t even bother to notify the Medial Board.
Now child molesters with political connections know that they will get a not even a slap on the wrist.
I don’t know if this is a coincidence, but Valerie Houghton and Dr. Patrick Clyne used to work less than 4 blocks from each other.
Does anyone know if they collaborated?

Here are photos of 2 of Valerie Houghton’s agents who are keep hacking, stalking, harassing, threatening and assaulting me. It doesn’t matter what part of the city that I am in or what time of the day it is. Ms. Houghton’s people follow me wherever I go.

And here you can see a screenshot from my phone. The “Googleworkspace” logo appears every time I open my email account. I never signed up for this paid service. In addition, it is reported that people abuse this Google service for illegal purposes.

D.A. Jeff Rosen knows about all the hacking, stalking and assaults. He was been provided an enormous amount of documentation/ information. It is all out in the open.
When he doesn’t act with respect to Ms. Houghton’s unlawful activities, it is akin to giving a green light.
