Now awaiting trial in a South Carolina jail, Mark Elliot Martin Jr. says his Aunt Ginni and Uncle Clarence don't have anything to do with him, despite spending his formative years living "as their son."
"I haven't really heard much from them in a long time. I tried to communicate with them a couple of times, but I've never gotten any response." --Adopted son of Ginni and Clarence Thomas
To be clear, SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Virginia did not deliberately raise Mark Martin to commit the weapons and drug crimes for which he was arrested last summer. Nor did the Thomases pay for their adopted grand-nephew to attend Randolph-Macon military prep school or to seek treatment at the now-bankrupt Hidden Lake Academy boarding school/inpatient facility. Those bills were covered by influential real estate tycoon, Harlan Crow who paid for Clarence and his guest to attend the all-boys club at Bohemian Grove.

Awkward posers at Bohemian Grove
On September 22, 2023, ProPublica illustrated the decades-long friendship between Clarence Thomas and the politically influential Koch family with the above photo of Thomas, filmmaker Ken Burns, and David Koch standing together at Bohemian Grove a few feet away from a bored-looking young man who appears to be Clarence's sister Emma Mae Martin's grandson, Mark Elliot Martin Jr.
Hours after the Bohemian Grove photo surfaced, Burns distanced himself from the judge with an aide telling Variety that the extent of his relationship with Thomas involved "innocuous pleasantries" and a single impromptu snapshot taken at the Monte Rio gathering of the secretive Bohemian Club "around ten years ago."

"I actually don’t know if they know that I’m locked up—I’m not sure they’d care too much. I’ve seen—I’ve probably seen them two times, maybe three times, over the last 14 years." --Clarence Thomas' adopted son, Mark Elliot Martin Jr.
