Not Your Momma and Papa’s Illinois Divorce!
East St. Louis Man Agrees to Second Divorce before Federal Sentencing
After his second wife filed for divorce on Monday, Metro East attorney Gary Peel did not have any objections and is now divorced. So what’s the big deal here? The Belleville News-Democrat reports details in Peel’s previous divorce that are quite interesting to say the least! Peel is facing federal prosecution for blackmail. It turns out that Peel originally did not want to meet the financial demands of his first wife Deborah Peel during their divorce in 2003. So what did Gary Peel do at the time? He attempted to blackmail his wife’s sister with naked pictures of her to pressure Deborah into backing off on her financial requests. If you’re wondering where Peel got the pictures, he had an affair with his wife’s sister in 1974 when she was a teenager. Peel is currently in jail without bond and awaiting sentencing this August for his convictions on possessing child pornography, obstructing justice and bankruptcy fraud.
Gary Peel’s second wife, Deborah Pontius, filed for divorce on Monday and a judge obliged with her request. Gary Peel then granted his second wife all of his stocks, stock options and personal property, which included the couple’s $375,000 home.

It has come to my attention that there was an artical printed on the subject of Gary Peel. When I read the artical I was amazed that the information was not correct and wanted to let you know that Gary Peel has been married and divorced twice. The first wife was Deborah J. Peel and the second was Deborah Pontious. Being part of the family I would ask that you do more reserch.
Thank you
