Trio of women ‘took kids to house & let pedophiles
rape them for cash’
Lottie Tiplady-Bishop, The US Sunrape them for cash’
THREE women are accused of supplying a house full of evil pedos with children as young as three to rape in exchange for cash.
Magan Richmond, 32, Tasha Stringer, 37, and Kathryn McMullen, 36, allegedly took the children, aged between three and thirteen to a house in Wheelersburg, Ohio where the monsters sexually assaulted them and recorded the sick attacks.

Cops say the women organized the abuse in exchange for cash and drugs.
Scioto County Sheriff’s Office cracked the pedophile ring after being passed on evidence of the horrifying abuse.
All three women were picked up by cops along with the FBI over the weekend. They are being held in Scioto County Jail on $100,000 and each face a charge of first-degree rape.
The children involved in the attacks have been taken into protective custody.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Sherrif's Office wrote on their Facebook page: "Captain John W. Murphy stated this is still an ongoing investigation and that more charges will be presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury on these individuals along with others on a later date."
It's not yet clear if the pedophiles have been taken into custody.
There is no indication of the relationships between the women and the children.
This is what happens all too often when people get hooked on drugs. They will trade their own children, or even someone else's children, for a hit. People on drugs should not be permitted near children, let alone being in a custodial relationship.
US ice hockey rocked by child sex abuse claims as sport becomes latest in sorry saga
Global Look Press © Petr Sznapka
A recent child abuse row in US hockey has become the latest ugly twist in a lengthy saga which has undermined the credibility of youth sport in the country.
USA Hockey President Jim Smith has reportedly been under investigation amid claims that he mishandled sexual abuse allegations in the Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI).
Longtime AHAI coach Tom Adrahtas has been accused of abusing several junior players in the 1980s, when Smith was serving as AHAI president.
Smith denied all accusations, insisting that “there were no reports alleging misconduct by Tom Adrahtas.”
What is going on with US sport, which has been riddled with sex scandals?
The world sports powerhouse has been shaken by new details and accusations surfacing on a regular basis, with former athletes revealing darker sides to their seemingly successful sporting careers.
The snowball started with the USA women’s artistic gymnastics squad, after Olympic and world champions, inspired by the #MeToo campaign, came forward one-by-one to speak about sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of the team’s doctor Larry Nassar.
Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney said she was systematically molested by Nassar while performing for the national team, emphasizing that US sports officials were aware of his sex crimes and paid her “hush money” to cover up the scandal.
After Maroney spoke out, the majority of the US women’s team, including world leader Simone Biles, came forward to reveal they were also victims of the disgraced doctor.
The scandal dropped a bombshell on US sport, with Nassar being sentenced to 175 years in prison.
The next sport affected by sex scandals was figure skating, after US Senator Richard Blumenthal called on his colleagues to make immediate changes in the sport, which he said has suffered from a long-lasting “culture of sexual abuse.”
The row escalated after several skaters accused John Coughlin, an American pair skater champion, of sexual abuse. A day after his interim suspension and one week before the US Championships, Coughlin died by suicide at the age of 33.
Last year, USA Swimming was investigated for allegedly stifling athletes’ sexual abuse claims.
After the Pandora’s box was opened, accusations and lawsuits against US sports officials poured in, raising questions about whether it was safe to send kids to sports clubs.
When asked why they had kept silent for so many years, former athletes said they were afraid of not being heard or believed, knowing that their coaches had more power and ties.
Some of them, including Maroney, revealed that their complaints were simply ignored by adults, who allowed Nassar to go unpunished for more than 30 years.
It remains unknown how many scandals will be revealed, but US sport in numerous areas will need to restore its reputation by making guarantees to parents that children will not be preyed upon by coaches.
There needs to be a congressional inquiry into all sports and all other areas of society where children are gathered. For everywhere children are gathered, there will be pedophiles - where there is honey, there will be flies.

Texarkana man pleads not guilty to child sex abuse
seeks release
By Field Walsh, TXKA man accused of molesting the young relative of a woman he was dating in 2014 pleaded not guilty to six felonies Monday at a hearing in Bowie County.
Quartshezz Lewis, 30, is accused of repeatedly assaulting the girl at a house in Texarkana, Texas, where she regularly spent the night with relatives, according to a probable cause affidavit. The girl allegedly reported that Lewis began touching her when she was six until she reported the assaults at age 11.
The girl reported that the first time Lewis assaulted her she was surprised and that she attempted to wake a relative when Lewis approached her a second time but he allegedly stopped her. The girl allegedly reported she did not tell anyone about the attacks because she was afraid Lewis would kill her.
Lewis appeared for arraignment Monday via video from the Bowie County jail. Texarkana attorney Jeff Harrelson entered not guilty pleas to all charges facing Lewis
At the time of his arrest, Lewis was charged with fewer crimes than he was indicted for by a grand jury in March. When the indictments were issued Lewis was taken back into custody.
First Assistant District Attorney Kelley Crisp said the state opposes a reduction in Lewis’ bond in light of the charges against him. One of the charges pending against Lewis, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, has a punishment range of 25 to 99 years or life in prison without parole.
Other charges facing Lewis include three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child by contact.
Tidwell scheduled the case for a bond hearing next week.
NY State man on parole for child sex abuse
charged with illegal use of computer
Barber appeared to have ‘erased his tracks’ on unit at workplace
By SCOTT DESMITbatavianews.com
BATAVIA — A registered sex offender released from prison in March was arrested earlier this month after an investigation revealed he illegally used a work computer, city police said.
Matthew W. Barber, 52, of West Main Street was charged May 21 with unauthorized use of a computer. Barber was found to have used a computer at his workplace at 700 Ellicott St. just after midnight on May 19.
Police Sgt. Dan Coffey said the investigation was unable to determine what Barber was searching for on the computer and that it appeared he had “erased his tracks.”
Barber was issued an appearance ticket but was detained by the New York State Parole and committed to Genesee County Jail.
Barber was released from Riverview Correctional Facility on March 26. He had served a seven-year term for first-degree sexual abuse of a child. Barber in 2007 was convicted of molesting a child under 10 years old.
The charges came during a federal investigation that began when Barber’s then-wife contacted police after she found child pornography on his computer.
Barber also was convicted on federal charges of possessing child pornography and was sentenced to six years in federal prison, a term he served before going to state prison in 2011.
Barber is a Level 2, sexually violent offender on the state registry.
Authorities arrest Oxnard, Ca, man on
suspicion of child sexual abuse
Gretchen Wenner, Ventura County Star
Authorities in Oxnard recently arrested a man on suspicion of sexual abuse involving three children.
On May 27, patrol officers responded to reports of the alleged abuse at an Oxnard residence on West Yucca Street, the Oxnard Police Department reported. The agency's family protection unit then took over the investigation, including interviewing the purported victims. The abuse started in 2015 and continued until last month, authorities believe.
On Friday at about 12:45 p.m., officers arrested the suspect, identified as Oxnard resident Nick Langkilde, 41, at a McDonald's in Camarillo. He was taken into custody without incident, officials said.
Langkilde was arrested on suspicion of three felony counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child. He remained in Ventura County jail as of Monday night with bail set at $2 million, jail records show. A hearing in Ventura County Superior Court is scheduled on Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information that could help with the investigation is asked to call Detective Juan Morales at 805-385-3922.
State police arrest Truxton, NY, man for child sex abuse
BY SARAH BULLOCK, The Cortland Voice
HOMER — A Truxton man was arrested Thursday night at the Homer state police barracks for sexually abusing a child younger than 17, according to the agency.
Everett C. McIntosh, 34, was arrested for sexually touching the child, exposing himself to the child and showing the child pornography in 2019, according to the agency.
The incident was reported to state police at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 3, according to the state police blotter. “An investigator from the barracks in Homer had an on-going investigation since the time it was reported,” said Trooper Aga Dembinska, the local public information officer.
State police received the case as a referral from Child Protective Services, Dembinska said.
State police declined to answer questions regarding what town the attack occurred in, whether McIntosh knew the child, if the attack occurred at a residence or in a public place such as the woods, the approximate age of the child or the gender.
“As per NYSP police (sic) no age or gender is provided for these types of cases,” wrote Dembinska. “Most importantly, details are minimal because our utmost priority is to protect the victim.”
Town Courts hear all cases that stem from crimes charged to have occurred in their boundaries, with limited exceptions. McIntosh is scheduled to appear June 10 in Truxton Town Court, indicating the attack took place in Truxton.
McIntosh was released on an appearance ticket charging him with third-degree sexual abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, misdemeanors.
Bail is allowed to be posted on all sex offense crimes, including misdemeanors, under the new bail reforms enacted Jan. 1, according to the state Association of Counties “Criminal Justice Reforms” report. Why McIntosh was not held on bail is unclear.
Former Perth Amboy, NJ, firefighter ordered to pay $4.75M in child sexual abuse lawsuit
Nick Muscavage, Bridgewater Courier News
PERTH AMBOY – A former city firefighter has lost a lawsuit based on claims of child sexual abuse dating back more than 20 years, and has been ordered to pay $4.75 million as a result.
In March 2019, Hugo Fleites was sued by an man claiming that he was raped by the former firefighter beginning in 1997.
Fleites, who sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2019 for first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a victim under 13, never responded to the lawsuit and defaulted in September 2019.
On May 5, Superior Court Judge Daniel McCloskey in New Brunswick ordered Fleites to pay $2.75 million in compensatory damages, $2 million in punitive damages, and $8,441 in counsel fees, resulting in a settlement of more than $4.75 million.
The man who filed the lawsuit, identified as John Doe in court documents, says he was 12 years old when Fleites, then 35, began sexually abusing him.
Fleites was a friend of the man's parents when the man was a child and through that contact became a friend of Fleites, causing him to trust him, according to court documents.
The man who filed the lawsuit said his parents separated and then divorced, with his father moving to Redwood City, California while his mother remained in New Jersey.
The man, who now lives in Monmouth County, traveled back and forth from California to New Jersey to visit his mother frequently. According to court documents, his mother suffered from addiction issues and was unable to drive and pick him up when he arrived at the airport for visits.
Fleites, who worked as an instructor at both the Middlesex and Monmouth County Fire Academies, offered to pick him up at the airport and drive him to his mother’s home, but instead of bringing the child to his mother’s home immediately, Fleites encouraged him to spend the evening at his home.
It was then when Fleites began to groom the child causing him to trust him, according to court documents.
When the child was asleep, Fleites came into his bedroom, sat on the bed and touched the child's intimate parts, pulling his clothing off, according to court documents.
Fleites escalated sexual abuse with the child, according to court documents.
The child was abused by Fleites each time he would fly home to visit his mother, which occurred multiple times a year for several years, according to court documents. The child was sexually abused by Fleites from 12 until he was 15.
When the child became an adult, he married and found employment but exhibited self-destructive behavior and "used drugs as a means to suppress the numerous emotions which were too intense to process," according to court documents.
Eventually, his self-destructive, injurious behavior led him to have an extramarital affair and risk his marriage. He realized at that point that he required help to address his injuries as a result of the abuse and began therapy.
It wasn't until more than a year of therapy when the man discovered that his use of cocaine and commencement of an extra marital affair were symptoms of mental injuries caused by Fleites' acts of sexual abuse, according to court documents.
As a result of therapy, the man was able to understand "for the first time in his life" that he was not at fault and responsible for the sexual acts perpetrated on him by Fleites, 23 years his senior.
Fleites is serving his sentence at South Woods State Prison. His sentence will be completed in May 2026. He will be eligible for parole on Aug. 27, 2021.
North Tonawanda, NY, Girl Scout troop leader
facing child sexual abuse charges
Marty and Shani Walton were both virtually arraigned Friday in Niagara County Court.
Marty is charged with two counts of first degree sexual abuse and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Shani is charged with two counts of endangering a child.
Both pleaded not guilty to the charges on Friday.
The victims in the case are eight and nine years old. At Friday’s arraignment, a judge ordered a full order of protection for both victims.
Niagara County District Attorney Caroline Wojtaszek said that parents expect their children to be safe while with their troop leaders. She’s urging anyone who might have additional information to come forward.
Marty Walton is being held on $20,000 bail. If convicted, he could face up to 14 years in prison.
Shani is facing up to four years if convicted.
The Amherst Police Department is also investigating other alleged incidents involving the Waltons.
On Saturday, the Girl Scouts of Western New York said in a statement that both adults were removed from all GSWNY activities on Friday and the organization is conducting an internal investigation, reviewing its regulations, and will cooperate fully with law enforcement.
They added that this is the first time a GSWNY volunteer has been involved in this type of allegations. “Our rules state that there are always at least two approved, unrelated, adult volunteers, at least one of whom is a female, with any girl or group of girls following prescribed adult-to-girl ratios”, the statement says.
All GSWNY troop co-leaders, chaperones, and troop drivers are subjected to a background check every three years. Walton passed background checks in Oct. 2016 and Oct. 2019, the statement says.
The GSWNY has reached out to police officials for details, and they don’t yet know whether the victims were Girl Scouts, CEO Alison Wilcox said.
“We would reinforce that there is nothing more important to Girl Scouts than the safety and well-being of all children, and we take all such allegations very seriously,” Wilcox said. “We ask for privacy for the victims and their families at this difficult time.”
Myrtle Beach, SC, man accused of possessing ‘child sexual abuse material’, facing up to 100 years in prison
Oded Babila, of Myrtle Beach, was arrested by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators with the AG’s Office as well as the Coastal Carolina Police Department assisted.
The AG’s Office tells News13 that investigators received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). That led them to Babila, who possessed “child sexual abuse material”, according to the AG’s Office.
J. Reuben Long Detention Center booking records suggest Babila was booked on Thursday afternoon around 4 p.m. He remains in jail as of Friday afternoon.
