Numerous Celebrities Expected To Be Questioned As Feds Prepare To Subpoena Diddy’s Flight Manifests: REPORT

/0 Comments/in , /by

High profile celebrities are likely to be questioned as part of Diddy’s sex trafficking probe, as federal agents reportedly prepare to subpoena Diddy’s flight manifests.

Federal law enforcement sources told TMZ that the investigation into the rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs will involve sending subpoenas to charter jet companies and intrerviewing passengers who flew with him on chartered planes, many of whom are expected to be prominent stars.

Those close to the situation said federal agents are likely to demand the flight manifests to establish who was with Diddy on each trip he took, meaning many other stars are likely to play key roles in the probe into Diddy’s lifestyle.

Widening the investigation to include interviews with passengers on Diddy’s plane could enable federal agents to verify claims made by individuals who filed lawsuits against the rapper, according to TMZ.

Sex Slave Cult Ran out of College Dorm by Ex-Best Friend of NYC Police Commissioner

/0 Comments/in , /by

The father of a former student at Sarah Lawrence College in New York was arrested Tuesday after he was accused of running a sex cult out of his daughter’s dorm room.

Lawrence Ray, 60, an ex-convict whose best man at his wedding was former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik, was charged with nine counts of sex trafficking, extortion, forced labor and money laundering, authorities said. . .

Investigators said at a morning news conference that Ray drained $1 million from the bank accounts of college kids, while subjecting them to psychological torture. The cult included forced labor, prostitution, and mentally and physically abusing his male and female victims, prosecutors said.

“Ray put a knife to one male victim’s throat, brandished a knife and threatened to dismember another male victim, grabbed a third male victim around the neck until he passed out, slapped a female victim and grabbed another female victim by her head before shoving her to the ground,” Geoffrey Berman, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, said. “After enduring Ray’s abuse, seven of his victims falsely confessed to having harmed or attempted to harm Ray. Ray, who sometimes recorded these false confessions, then used these false confessions to extort money from his victims.”

Investigators said some of Ray’s alleged victims “drained hundreds of thousands of dollars from their parents’ savings accounts at Ray’s direction” while others opened lines of credit or solicited contributions from acquaintances.

SHOCK: Former USA Gymnastics Head Arrested by Fugitive Task Force

/0 Comments/in , /by

Steve Penny, the former head of USA Gymnastics who stepped down amid the horrific revelations about Dr. Larry Nassar, was arrested by a fugitive task force Wednesday while on a vacation with his family. Penny was secretly indicted three weeks ago for felony charges of tampering with evidence related to Nassar’s molestation case.

The U.S. Marshals Service said Penny was arrested in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Wednesday after being secretly indicted on September 28 by a Walker County, Texas, grand jury. NBC News reports:

According to a summary of the indictment released by Walker County prosecutors, Penny ordered the removal of documents from the Karolyi Ranch, where powerhouse Olympic teams were built and where some athletes say they were molested by Nassar, the longtime team doctor. Nassar was sentenced in February to as long as 125 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to molesting 10 girls.

The Texas prosecutors said some of the documents were delivered to Penny at USA Gymnastics’ headquarters in Indianapolis and that they remain missing. The indictment says Penny, knowing an investigation was in progress, intentionally destroyed or concealed the materials on or around Nov. 11, 2016.

. . .

Penny’s attorney, Edith Matthai, says her client was given no warning about the impending arrest, which occurred while he was on vacation with his wife and three kids. “If Mr. Penny had any idea he was sought in Texas this would have been appropriately handled through counsel without terrifying his family,” said Matthai in a statement reported by NBC. “Mr. Penny has not and would not have attempted to avoid the service of a summons and he cooperated fully with the (Marshals).” (Read more from “Shock: Former USA Gymnastics Head Arrested by Fugitive Task Force” HERE)

Gay Duo Married by Ginsburg Accused of Raping Student

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The New York Daily News reports David Daniels and Scott Walters, who were married by Ginsburg in 2014, are under investigation for allegedly drugging and violently raping a student in 2010. . .

“The couple is so highly regarded that they were married in 2014 by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” the Daily News noted. . .

The report said Schultz was a 23-year-old graduate student at Rice University, and he kept his experience secret for years because he feared repercussions.

“Emboldened by both the #MeToo movement and upon learning that Daniels had made tenure at the University of Michigan – where he’d be in close personal contact with young aspiring singers – Schultz filed a complaint with the U-M Police Department’s special victims unit in July. Authorities in Michigan, in turn, passed the complaint on to the Houston Police Department,” the report said. . .

He alleges he met Daniels and Walters in 2010 at a party for Houston Grand Opera’s run of “Xerxes,” and it was at a corporate apartment where they were staying that he accepted a drink. (Read more from “Gay Duo Married by Ginsburg Accused of Raping Student” HERE)

The Underreported Epidemic of Sexual Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The point is that sexual abuse is a large, society-wide problem. In every segment of society, there are predators taking advantage of others’ trust in order to prey on the weak, young, or dependent. Many organizations are ill-equipped to handle it, because it goes underreported, people don’t want to believe it, and few organizations have structures in place to deal with it. Due to the spotlight on the Catholic Church, they have put in place structural ways to better deal with the problem, although much work remains to be done (the peak years for abuse were the 1970s, although that’s no comfort to the abused).

Given that there are abusers in every organization, how can we best prevent it, protect the victims, and punish the perpetrators?

First, we need to acknowledge that evil exists and that there are people who will prey on the vulnerable, particularly children, those they perceive as weak (physically or socially), and those with developmental disabilities (a further alarming statistic is that 90% of people in this category will be abused in their lifetime).

Second, and related to the first, we need to realize that this can happen to us or our loved ones. Given the percentages, it is very likely that we are friends with someone who has been abused, pressured, or harassed; or, it may even be us who have been abused. Most times, this abuse is unreported. If you have been abused, know that you did nothing to deserve it and that it is not your fault; evil people take advantage of others to force or coerce them into things. If you are struggling with past abuse, please consider counseling; if you are currently being abused, please report it to an authority who can help you get out of the situation.

Third, we need to expect more from those in authority. Leaders – whether they are clergy, teachers, or anyone else in a position of trust – need to be held accountable for their abuses of this trust. There is no excuse for abuse and no justifiable reason to shield the abusers, shuffle them around, or otherwise protect them; concern for the abused must come first.

Southern Baptist Leader Covered up Sexual Abuse Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Caller. The former head of two prominent Southern Baptist seminaries sought a one-on-one meeting in 2015 with an alleged rape victim in order to “break her down,” seemingly so that she would not go public with her allegations.

Dr. Paige Patterson, the former president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, made the comment in an email to the chief of campus security, a trustee at the school told The Daily Caller News Foundation Friday.

Patterson was fired on Wednesday as president of SWBTS and stripped of benefits after it was revealed that he mishandled multiple sexual abuse allegations at SWBTS and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS), two of the top Southern Baptist schools in the U.S.

The Washington Post published an article on May 22 which quoted a former SEBTS student who claimed that in 2003, Patterson asked her not to go to police with allegations that she was raped by a man she was dating at the time.

Southern Baptist Leader Encouraged a Woman Not to Report Alleged Rape to Police and Told Her to Forgive Assailant, She Says

By The Washington Post. A prominent Southern Baptist leader at the center of controversy this spring over comments he has made about abused women allegedly encouraged a woman who said she had been raped not to report it to the police and told her to forgive her alleged assailant, the woman has told The Washington Post.

The woman said that she was raped in 2003 when she was pursuing a master of divinity degree in women’s studies from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., where Paige Patterson was president at the time.

“I had bottled it up,” said the woman, who works in public relations in North Carolina. “My husband didn’t know about it until last week. … I told him ‘I need to do something.’ ”

A man who a seminary official confirmed was the alleged assailant’s roommate at the time of the incident said that the woman told him about the assault shortly after it allegedly happened. The woman also provided an email to The Washington Post from the seminary’s dean of students at the time referencing the alleged incident.

Planned Parenthood Is Accomplice to Sex Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

Headlines about sex abuse, sex abusers and their victims have flooded American media in recent months, with Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and others abruptly on defense, fighting for their businesses, their careers and even their freedom. . .

The pro-life activists at Live Action have released a report titled “Aiding Abusers: Planned Parenthood’s cover-up of child sexual abuse,” accompanied by a series of videos.

The report and videos document cases in which sex-abuse victims have been taken to Planned Parenthood for an abortion by their attackers and, stunningly, then returned to the care of their attackers. . .

Live Action explains: “Through the Time’s Up and Me Too movements, America is calling for an end to sexual abuse in every institution. But few are calling out one of America’s biggest accomplices to sexual abuse, even though there is widespread documentation of decades-long systemic sexual abuse cover up behind its doors.

“The group is Planned Parenthood and they are tax funded. Planned Parenthood claims that sexual assault victims come to their facilities on a daily basis. What we will show you in Live Action’s seven part video series is how Planned Parenthood treats these victims, consistently and deliberately failing to report their abuse and even making a profit doing so.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Is Accomplice to Sex Abuse” HERE)

By Christian Post. A 17-year-old Christian girl was murdered in Pakistan after being tied down and strangled to death by a Muslim family before her father’s own eyes, reportedly because she didn’t do the household chores to their satisfaction.

Christians in Pakistan reported on Tuesday that the murder of Kainat Salamat, daughter of Salamat Masih, occurred last week in Kamonki, Gujranwala district.

Masih filed a First Information Report to report the crime on May 6, explaining to police that he arrived to visit his daughter at the home of Muhammad Asif, where she had worked as a domestic helper since age 11.

The father says that he and another relative saw that the Muslim family, Asif, Muhammad Kashif, Muhammad Tariq Pasran, Muhammad Ismael, along with Asif’s wife and another woman, were holding down Kainat’s legs and arms . . .

The father adds in the report that his daughter, who was buried on Monday, was killed for failing to do the house cleaning properly. (Read more from “Christian Teen Raped, Tied down and Murdered in Front of Father by Pakistani Muslim Family” HERE)

Famous “Humanitarian” Charged with Pedophilia, Raping Boy in Nepal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .But over several years, Mr. Dalglish, a Canadian, endeared himself to many in the community, greeting villagers in Nepali, offering chocolates from Thailand to children playing in the forest and helping people rebuild their homes destroyed by devastating earthquakes in 2015.

The good will was shattered last month when the police swarmed around Mr. Dalglish’s home, placed a gun to his head and arrested him on charges of raping at least two boys, 12 and 14. . .

Mr. Dalglish’s downfall has been a shock partly because his work aiding street children around the world was so widely admired. In 2016, he was awarded the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honors.

Nepal is one of Asia’s poorest countries, and thousands of nongovernmental organizations operate with limited government oversight. The absence of strict regulations means aid groups can be used as a cover for human traffickers and predatory behavior by humanitarian workers, said Pushkar Karki, the head of Nepal’s Chief Investigation Bureau, the agency overseeing the case against Mr. Dalglish.

Mom Admits to Letting Men Rape Young Daughters for Cash

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mother in Georgia pleaded guilty to allowing several men, including a 78-year-old, rape her two young daughters in exchange for cash, officials said Friday.

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release that Morgan Summerlin, 25, pleaded guilty on April 26 to cruelty to children, trafficking a person for sexual servitude and enticing a child for indecent purposes, with sentencing set for June 4.

“It is difficult to imagine facts that are more horrific than those found in this case,” District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr. said in a statement. “I am hoping these two little girls can somehow survive this abuse and grow into healthy adults who can lead a productive and fulfilling life.”

Officials said the two young victims told adults in April 2017 their mother would bring them to men’s homes to be molested and raped for money. In one incident, the two girls said their mother brought them to the home of 78-year-old Richard Office, who was referred to as “Pop.”

“Pop” would give their mother drugs, and in one incident the 78-year-old raped the younger sister while the other rubbed his feet, all while Summerlin sat in his living room, according to officials. (Read more from “Mom Admits to Letting Men Rape Young Daughters for Cash” HERE)
