11y/o Russian Girl Fends Off Pedophile Policeman with Scooter
BY K THOR JENSEN Newsweek
After a young girl in Russia defended herself from an attempted sexual assault, the culprit was revealed to be a police officer.
According to Moscow Komsomolets, the initial attack took place in September 2018. The 11-year-old girl was out for a walk with friends when she decided to return home alone.
After returning to her apartment building, she was approached by a man who dropped his pants and tried to pursue her into the elevator. Luckily, she had a scooter on hand and swung it into the assailant's groin, sending him crumpling to the floor, the newspaper said.

The girl then entered the elevator and made her way home, where she reported the incident to her mother. Police were called and began an investigation.
Surveillance camera video from the day of the attack traced the suspect and allowed police to identify him as an officer with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The man had come from a medical examination at the Ministry's hospital that same day, where he also underwent a psychological evaluation.
I wonder if he passed it?
When he was brought into custody, the suspect claimed that he had been in the girl's building completely by coincidence. However, the surveillance footage disproved his story, showing him walking through a number of foyers before stopping right by the young girl and attempting to assault her, the newspaper said.
The policeman was convicted of attempted sexual assault and given a six-year prison sentence in a penal colony.
A penal colony? Is the gulag still operating?
He was also terminated from his job before the trial, with the Ministry issuing a statement saying "An employee was dismissed from service for committing an offense defaming the honor and dignity of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Surveillance footage has been used to catch pedophiles before. In May 2015, a young girl in San Jose, California was followed home by an unidentified man. According to the San Jose Mercury-News, the man told the teenager that he was lost and needed directions.
She was suspicious of his motives, so the girl tried to enter her house. The man then forced his way into her home. Once inside, he tried to sexually assault her in the foyer. She fought back with her fists and drove him back out the front door.
The girl then hid in the closet and texted her father for help. He called 911 and police collected the footage. They realized that the suspect was already wanted in another sexual assault attempt when he followed a woman into a public bathroom at a grocery store.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the man's landlord saw the surveillance footage on TV and tipped off police. Police quickly identified and arrested 31-year-old Mohammad Khaliqi for both crimes.
Russian man arrested for beating convicted paedophile to death after saving a child
Vladimir Sankin, from Ufa city in Russia, claims he freed a teenager from Vladimir Zaitsev before taking the 54-y/o outside and beating him with a stick

A Russian man is facing 15 years in jail after rescuing a teenager from a convicted paedophile then killing the sex attacker.
Vladimir Sankin, 33, answered the pleas of a frantic teenager to help his friend who had been locked inside the flat of 54-year-old Vladimir Zaitsev.
The car mechanic, from oil-rich Ufa city, responded by running to the flat where he could hear the boy crying inside.
He forced his way in and freed the unnamed 14 -year-old who had been told by the man to strip naked under the threat of being killed and dismembering them with an axe, Sankin told police.
After liberating the boy, Sankin took the man outside and beat him with a wooden stick as he waited for police to arrive.
As a result of the injuries the man - who had recently been released form jail after a conviction for sex attacks on children - died.
Sankin was formally detained and accused of “intentional infliction of grave bodily harm resulting in the death of the victim by negligence”.
A video shows him being released from a cage in court and into the arms of his wife as supporters cheer. He remains under house arrest however while the murder investigation is pursued.
The paedophile met the boys in the entrance to his flat where they were trying to warm up after playing for several hours in the snow.
He invited them to his flat to dry their wet clothes.
Once inside he told them undress and allegedly began to “harass” them, only for one of the boys to escape and raise the alarm. The other was locked inside the flat.
Vladimir Sankin said:“I didn’t expect him to die at all. I saved two children... from him.”

Tens of thousands have signed a petition demanding Sankin’s release with a groundswell of support for the “hero”.
The petition claims the man died after hitting his head when he fell during the fight with Sankin.
Woman 'cuts off rapist's penis as he tries to attack her inside her Faisalabad, Pakistan home'
By Dave Burke, The Mirror

A woman bravely sliced off the penis of a man who attempted to rape her in her home.
Police in Pakistan said the attacker got into his victim's home while she was alone and tried to carry out the sickening sex assault.
She said the 28-year-old man attempted to overpower her after breaking in.
He is thought to have been a neighbour who was due to marry another woman, according to Assistant Superintendent of Police Jaranwala Bilal Sulehri.
The woman ran to the kitchen to fetch a knife, which she used to cut off the attacker's genitals.
He was rushed to hospital in Faisalabad, in the east of the country.
Police spokesman Mohamed Ilyas told the DPA news agency that the man's penis had been cut off during the attack.
The would-be rapist was released from hospital yesterday, according to reports in Pakistan.
No indication whether his penis was restored to him or not, but I suspect his marriage plans are also in question.
The woman has not been arrested, and an investigation into the incident, which happened on January 30, is ongoing.
According to reports in Pakistan, she and the attacker knew each other.
Human rights groups say hundreds of women are raped in Pakistan each year - but many do not come forward and weak laws mean rapists often go unpunished.
To make it worse, the rape victim is often more punished than the rapist. But the statement of 'hundreds of women in Pakistan...' is simply absurd. The number is almost certainly in the tens of thousands.
UK Police uncovering 'epidemic of child abuse'
in 1970s and 80s
in 1970s and 80s

Police say they are uncovering a hidden “epidemic” of paedophile abuse in the 1970s and 1980s, with thousands of allegations leading to convictions against people who abused their power to attack children.
New figures seen by the Guardian show that 4,024 allegations led to guilty verdicts at court after police investigations since 2014 into decades-old child sex offences.
Officers say hundreds of offenders, including teachers, religious workers, youth and care workers, thought they had got away with their crimes. Many victims have been traumatised, and some have killed themselves or been left with severe mental health problems.
Or, drug and/or alcohol addictions, etc.
Police believe the figures, which show that 35% of all allegations led to guilty verdicts, demonstrate that inquiries into non-recent sexual abuse are not “spaffing money up the wall”, as Boris Johnson last year claimed. Labour said Johnson should apologise to victims.
Officers believe there are many more allegations to come, and Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the national lead for child protection and abuse investigations, told the Guardian: “We are now having to come to terms, as a society, and we are going to have to recognise and accept, that during the 1970s and 1980s in particular, there was widespread sexual abuse of children taking place.
“These allegations and the vast majority of cases were never reported to the authorities. Some victims did not think they were going to be believed. There was one constant factor: there was an abuse of power … to satisfy their sexual desires.”
Among those convicted were:
Care home boss John Allen, 78, jailed for 14 years for attacking five child victims between 1976 and 1984,
Timothy Mawer, 51, a badminton coach jailed for abusing seven victims in the 1980s and 90s, and
John Clifford Davies, 61, a children’s home worker jailed for 24 years for a string offences in the 1970s and 80s.
The national operation coordinating claims of non-recent child sexual abuse began in 2014 and is called Operation Hydrant. It began after the Jimmy Savile scandal prompted more victims to come forward.
Since Hydrant’s launch:
7,000 suspects have been identified, with
11,346 allegations of attacks received from
9,343 victims,
all concerning sexual abuse of children. Some claims date back to the 1940s.
Of the alleged offences:
47% were not investigated by police,
in over a third of these cases because the suspect was dead.
In a fifth of discontinued claims, suspects could not be identified.
More than one-third of the allegations resulted in convictions at court,
with 6% resulting in acquittal.
The conviction rate comes despite cases from long ago being harder to investigate because of fewer, if any, forensic clues.
Some paedophiles who had escaped justice were convicted of multiple attacks, with one found guilty of 78 offences, based on allegations made by 10 victims.
There is much more on this story in The Guardian.
5yo girl raped at US Embassy compound in New Delhi
FILE PHOTO. ©REUTERS / Adnan Abidi
A 25-year-old man has been accused of raping a five-year-old girl at the US Embassy compound in India. Both the suspect and the victim are Indian nationals, who live at the mission’s local staff premises.
The horrific sexual assault allegedly happened on Saturday, but the Indian police only made the case public on Wednesday.
According to the police, the victim’s father is employed as a housekeeper at the embassy quarters and lives there. The accused rapist has a residency at the compound too because his father also works for the embassy. Indian media are giving conflicting reports on whether the man himself, a driver by profession, is an embassy employee or not.
Police say the accused abused his acquaintance with the girl. On Sunday the child was playing outside the family house when the suspect invited her to the home of his parents to play mobile phone games. There he took advantage of the victim, police said. A medical examination confirmed that the victim had been raped.
The authorities were alerted to the alleged crime on Sunday by the girl’s family. The child complained of pains in her private parts, and her mother soon got the details of the ordeal out of her. The next day she took her abused daughter to a private clinic and called the police.
The alleged tormentor was surprised when the police came to arrest him on Sunday, Eish Singhal, deputy commissioner of police, said. “The suspect didn’t even expect that the girl would inform her parents or that anyone would approach the police,” he said as cited by the Hindustan Times.
The embassy said its employees were “deeply disturbed by the alleged misconduct.”
“We promptly took action when we were informed of the allegation, and brought this matter to the attention of the police. Of course, we are cooperating fully with them,” the statement said.
Two years ago India introduced harsher punishment for child rapists, with convicted criminals now facing the death penalty. Despite that, sexual violence is still a painful reality in the country, where victims of such crimes may be stigmatized and are thus often reluctant to report. Several high profile violent rape cases triggered mass protests in India over the past several years.
Predatory paedophile jailed for appalling sexual abuse against Lancashire boy, aged 10
By Tom Earnshaw LancsLive - Daily
A paedophile has been jailed over historic sexual abuse acts against a 10-year-old Lancashire boy - acts that led to the victim trying to take his own life.
Adrian Gartshore-Taylor, 66, now of West End Road, Morecambe, pleaded guilty to four counts of incident assault against a boy under the age of 14 and one count of indecency with a child or boy under 16.
Preston Crown Court heard today (February 6) how Gartshore-Taylor had targeted the boy multiple times over weeks and months in 2002 at Great Birchwood Country Park and Campsite at Warton, near Lytham.
Gartshore-Taylor, who was a car boot salesman living in a caravan on the site, enticed the boy - who cannot be identified due to legal reasons - to work for him and help him sell his goods.
On one occasion he convinced the boy's father to let him stay overnight at his caravan so that they could start setting up the car boot stall early in the morning.
But Mr Brown, prosecuting, told the court how this was simply a ploy for Gartshore-Taylor to groom the boy, with the child being abused on multiple occasions in the caravan between January 1 and November 29, 2002.
Gartshore-Taylor would show the child how to play computer games on his laptop, during which he would start sexually assaulting him. This happened on multiple occasions.
"The child did not quite realise what was happening," said Mr Brown.
Gartshore-Taylor bought the boy the latest mobile phone and trainers, as well as taking him on trips to the cinema, as a way to buy his loyalty. The boy's mum became slightly suspicious at what was going on, but because of a lack of evidence over anything untoward she assumed he was buying these things himself with his extra money from working for the defendant.
The court heard how the boy stopped going to the country park and campsite and that it wasn't until 2008/09 that he told someone, his sister, about what has happened to him six years earlier. It wasn't until May 2019 that the boy, now an adult, reported the crimes to police.
The court heard how in the near two decades since the abuse, the victim had suffered a result of the trauma of the sexual assaults on him, suffering from depression and anxiety for a decade.
Former taxi driver Gartshore-Taylor was arrested on May 28, 2019, after which he admitted abusing the victim to police officers. He did it for his own 'sexual gratification', the prosecution told the court.
During the sentencing at Preston Crown Court the victim read a personal statement addressing the devastating effects the abuse has had on his life. He said: "I didn't anticipate that after 17 years I would be standing in a courtroom telling secrets and events that have taken place in my life; to open myself up to judgement."
"As a 10-year-old boy I had so much life to live and love to give," he said, addressing his "loving" family and siblings as well as the positive development he was gaining at school.
He continued: "As an innocent 10-year-old boy all these were taken from me by a sexual abuser.
"He abused his position in society by forcing himself on innocent, young, pleasant boys.
"My childhood was stripped away from me. I was forced to become an adult at the age of 10.
"No child should be forced to go down that path.
"I still suffer form that abuse daily."
He said that the gifts that Gartshore-Taylor bought him were to "secure my silence".
The victim revealed how he would wet the bed until he was 13, and that intimacy in future relationships was "tainted" due to the sexual assaults on him, leading to the breakdown of a relationship.
CSA survivors have great difficulty forming lasting relationships.
He told the court how he had attempted to die by suicide in 2015 by deliberately crashing his car, writing a suicide letter to his family. He left the vehicle with "not a scratch" on him.
"My life nearly came to an end all due to this trauma," he said.
"[But] from today, I will live my life as a free man."

Fermanagh child sexual abuse claims:
PSNI examining 46 cases
By Rodney Edwards The Impartial Reporter
Detectives investigating allegations of historical child sexual abuse in Fermanagh are examining 46 cases, Chief Constable Simon Byrne has confirmed.
Police have arrested two suspects and interviewed a third who presented voluntarily in connection with the claims of child sexual abuse.
Mr. Byrne told a meeting of the Policing Board today (Thursday) that a total of 46 cases are currently being examined following a query by Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA Sean Lynch.
According to the BBC, he was responding to a question about the alleged slow pace of the overall investigation. Mr. Byrne said officers were "trying to be victim-centred to obtain evidence".
"Because of the complexity and sensitivity of these kind of investigations, they often do proceed at a slow pace," he said.
Ten months ago, claims of alleged child abuse in Fermanagh first emerged in The Impartial Reporter newspaper.
Mr. Byrne insisted that the pace of the investigation was not down to "a lack of resolve on the part of the PSNI", and that the cases "will remain a concern until we can see people in court".
On Tuesday, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council said it was "co-operating" with detectives investigating the allegations, some of which relate to claims children were sexually abused by a network of men in public toilets in Enniskillen.
The toilets were once owned by the former Fermanagh District Council.
Council Chairwoman Siobhan Currie said co-operation with the PSNI is ongoing, that safeguarding protocols are in place and that funding is being provided to a number of agencies supporting victims.

Scouts Tasmania flags asset sell-off to fund child sex abuse redress payments

Scouts Tasmania is being forced to sell some of its properties in the wake of claims made under the national redress scheme to victims of sexual abuse, with the state president warning the organisation is "faced with insolvency" unless action is taken.
The 112-year-old organisation is one of a number of Tasmanian institutions which signed up to the national redress scheme, established in July 2018 in response to the royal commission into institutional responses into child sexual abuse.
Scouts Tasmania state president Corey McGrath said the organisation "doesn't have a lot of cash" and will need to sell three properties.
"The decision wasn't taken lightly or quickly, it's been a long process," he said. "We are faced with insolvency if we don't do something now … we could get ourselves into trouble later on by not having the cash."
While it is unclear how many former Tasmanian scout members have already come forward as part of the scheme, Mr McGrath said "it's bigger than I expected. Maybe I'm naive — I didn't think we would get any, to be honest."
Yeah! Naive is the least I could say about you.
The properties owned by the organisation earmarked for sale are the
Harry Abbott hall in Launceston,
Kaloma Lodge and Campsite in Wynyard and the
Lenah Valley scout hall in Hobart.
Mr McGrath said the Lenah Valley hall was one of its higher-valued properties — but that it is used extensively and its sale would have a "devastating" impact on the youth groups and children who use it.
With the scheme set to run until 2028, Mr McGrath said Scouts Tasmania may also have to consider selling a number of their remaining 12 properties, including the Lea at Kingston.
If you or anyone you know needs help:
Lifeline on 13 11 14
Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800
MensLine Australia on 1300 789 978
Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467
Beyond Blue on 1300 22 46 36
Headspace on 1800 650 890
"It's the unknown, we have another eight-plus years to go, we have no idea what the future may bring."
The Tasmanian Government announced in May 2018 it would sign up to the scheme, with the cost to the state estimated at $70 million.
The scheme, which the Government said intends to "provide support to people who experienced institutional child sexual abuse" also "acknowledges that many children were sexually abused in Australian institutions" and "holds institutions accountable for this abuse".
Under the national scheme, people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse "gain access to counselling, a direct personal response, and a redress payment".
Other organisations which have opted in include Tasmania Police, churches, schools, the Salvation Army, children's service providers and correctional services.
In 2018, the Anglican Church announced it would sell off more than 100 properties, including churches, to fund its contribution to the scheme for sexual abuse survivors.
However, after a backlash from parishioners, the list of properties earmarked for sale was reduced.
Fast track court sentences serial rapist and killer
to death in India
to death in India
It is the third case in Telangana in which the courts have awarded speedy death sentence
Gulf News
Hyderabad: Marri Srinivas Reddy, who was found guilty of abduction, rape and murder of three minor girls was sentenced to death by a special fast track court in Telangana.
SVV Natha Reddy, first additional district and session judge of Nalgonda, indicting Srinvas Reddy under various sections of Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, sentenced the convict to death.
While the offences were committed in Sitapur village of Yadadri district between 2015 and 2019, police arrested him in April last year. The proceedings of the case were completed in less than three months.
The court pronounced its judgement after examining 101 witnesses and forensic evidence.
The prosecution had alleged that 29-year-old Reddy had lured minor girls. While two of the victims were raped and murdered, the third was killed as she resisted his attempts to outrage her modesty.
This is the third case of rape and murder in the state in which the fast track courts have awarded death sentence.
Reacting to the judgement state’s senior minister K Taraka Rama Rao expressed his satisfaction over the fast track courts swift judgement in sexual offence cases.
“Within a span of six months, fast track courts in Telangana have delivered justice in three ghastly crimes against women. All five accused have been sentenced to capital punishment. Kudos to the law and home department officials and judiciary who have toiled hard to ensure quick justice”, Rama Rao said.
Oxford pervert jailed for 'flagrantly' flouting court order with more child sex abuse images
By Will Walker, Oxford MailA VIDEO games writer who 'flagrantly' flouted a court order and continued to download images of depraved child sex abuse has been jailed.
Persistent pervert Christopher Capel was first handed a sexual harm prevention order for indecent images offences in 2017.
The 37-year-old of Yarnell's Road, Oxford appeared again at Oxford Crown Court today for breaching that order and having yet more banned images of children.
After admitting two counts of breaching the order and three counts of making indecent images he was sentenced at court this morning.
Outlining the case, prosecutor Gavin Pottinger said that police went to Capel's home in March 2018 before seizing a number of electronic devices. On further examination, a collection of indecent images of children was discovered. These were made up of one in category A - the most severe category, nine in category B and five in category C.
Among the images found, prosecutors said, were photographs of a three-year old boy being abused by an adult woman and indecent images of 13-year-old girls.
Officers later carried out another visit to his address on November 25 last year, where they found three video games consoles. Despite denying they were connected to the internet, one of the devices was connected with an 'internet dongle.'
Having internet-capable devices put him in breach of his previously imposed sexual harm prevention order and he later pleaded guilty to the offences.
In mitigation at his sentencing hearing today defence barrister Eiran Reilly said the offending had not been a 'persistent breach' and the images were all downloaded on a single day. He added that his client - a video games writer for a gaming website - had already spent nearly three months in prison which had had a 'devastating' impact.
Sentencing, Judge Nigel Daly said: "These were flagrant and deliberate breaches of the order.
"Not only did you flout the order for possession of the devices but you continued to download indecent images of children and searched for such on the internet. It's difficult to imagine a more contemptuous breach of an order of this court."
Capel was jailed for 22 months and made subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

Child sex abuse victim bullied after attack vows
'I won't let attacker ruin my life'
By Andrea LambrouGlasgowLive - Daily
A young girl sexually abused by a vicious predator has spoken of the hell she endured at his hands.
The youngster spoke out as depraved Nicholas Craig was found guilty of trying to rape her following a four day trial at Glasgow High Court.
And she's revealed how she struggled to cope in the aftermath and even dropped out of school suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and doubted whether she'd ever be able to trust anyone again.
Now 16, the teenager insists she's determined not to let the creep ruin her life.
In a remarkable show of courage she told the East Kilbride News: “I’m going to live my life. I’m the victim, he’s the one in the wrong.”
Craig, 34, denied the serious sexual assault but was unanimously found guilty by a jury after a four-day trial last week.
The jobless pervert now faces a minimum of four years in jail as he awaits sentence next month.
After finally getting justice, his young victim said: “I’m happy and relieved by the verdict. I feel a weight has been lifted that’s been hanging over me for a while.
“I now feel safe and more confident when out because I know he is now no longer walking the streets and can’t hurt me or any other little girls.
“I feel no sentence would be long or good enough, but the maximum sentence possible could maybe ease the pain and hurt a little so all the family will be able to move forward knowing he’s locked up and got some punishment.”
Giving evidence via video, the girl, who can’t legally be named, told the court Craig was looking after her at a house in the town while her mother was working.
Asked what happened, she sobbed as she said: “He asked me to give him a hug. He was hugging and kissing and touching me. I didn’t know what was happening, he pulled down his trousers.
“I was a bit shocked and a bit scared as well. He lay down on the bed with me.
“I was facing down. I didn’t know what happened. I was shocked and upset.”
Asked how Craig was, she answered: “He carried on as if it was a normal thing to do.”
The girl told us: “I was off school that day unwell. When it happened I jumped up and jumped straight in the shower for like 30 minutes and was crying, that’s when I told my friend about it on Snapchat.
“I went into school upset the next day and ran out of class. I got taken to the head of my year group and I just told her what happened.
“They phoned social work and the police and then within an hour the social workers were out and spoke to me and took me to the police station.
“I gave my first statement and went to the hospital and got a medical done and went home. It was scary.
“They came and spoke to my mum and eventually they called us and said they got him.
“I went to the school first because I knew if I told my mum, my mum probably would have ended up being in jail for murder.”
Facing sexual assault and voyeurism charges, Craig admitted making a recording of the girl’s buttocks and touching them. He was also found guilty of making or recording a moving image of him touching a woman’s buttocks years before the rape bid.
The girl added: “It was hard to go out after, I was off school for months but I’m getting there, I’ve had help and support.
“I’m not completely over it, I’m still not sleeping at night and sleeping all day but now that I’m older I don’t want to spend the rest of my days locked away in the house.
“I am getting better.”
The girl claimed that Craig’s sick fascination with her began when she was just five-years old. She alleged the police found incriminating videos on his phone and computer dating back to 2009.
“The police found videos from when I was five,” she said. “The first one I was aware of was from when I was nine. I didn’t think anything of it, but he made me feel uncomfortable. And he would always buy me things.”
