This article contains descriptions of child abuse. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, call the Indiana Department of Child Services' Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-800-5556. The hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All adults are mandated reporters in Indiana.


A man was sentenced to serve 53 years July 25 after being convicted of child sex crimes by a Marion County jury. 

Ira Miles, 37, will serve 49 of those years in prison after being found guilty of child molesting, rape, sexual misconduct with a minor, criminal confinement and intimidation. Miles' sentence was increased due to prior felony convictions. 

In June, Miles was found guilty of sexually abusing a child relative over the course of several years. The victim told investigators that Miles said if anyone found out about the abuse, he would kill her and another family member, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Detectives also spoke with a relative who said Miles would "become violent when he gets upset.” 

Before being arrested for child molestation in January, Miles was arrested in late 2024 for unlawful carrying of a handgun given a previous felony conviction.

Butte resident pleads not guilty to 52 child abuse counts



BUTTE, Mont. – A local resident in Butte has pleaded not guilty to 52 counts of sexual abuse of children.

Court documents revealed the investigation started in February when a detective received several cyber tips regarding child sexual abuse material stored in a cloud service.


Investigators uncovered dozens of videos depicting mostly pre-pubescent naked girls.

The investigation traced the videos back to an IP address registered to Bryson Leggitt of Butte, who pleaded not guilty to all 52 counts of  sexual abuse of children.





Leggitt's next court appearance is scheduled for August 28.














Middle East Madness > Syria's emergence - Druze girls are fair game for slaves

 

Syria: President’s cousin says of Druze:

‘It is permissible to enslave their women’


In terms of Islamic law, Muammar al-Sharaa is right.

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or the captives whom their right hands possess, for in their case they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)

The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:

Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)

It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)

The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:

Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.

When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.

Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.

A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth. I brought up [this man’s] situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”

The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”

“Is this forbidden by Islam?” I asked.

“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”

In January 2016, a female al-Azhar professor stated that Allah allowed Muslims to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them.



Islam Hates Christians > Christian Family threatened by Muslims to drop child rape case in Pakistani Punjab

 

Family of Muslim man who raped 14-y/o Christian girl pressure parents to drop charges

LAHORE, Pakistan — Relatives of a Pakistani Muslim man who raped a 14-year-old Christian girl are threatening her family to compel them to drop the charges. 

Javed Masih of Chak No. R-97/6 village in Sahiwal District, Punjab Province, said that Sajid Ali, the married son of his employer Mukhtar Ali, went to his house on June 14 while Masih and his wife were working in the fields and raped their daughter while she was alone at home.

“The accused raped her at gunpoint and before leaving threatened her that he would kill me if she told anyone about the incident,” Masih told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “Fearing for my life, my innocent daughter kept silent about the barbarity that she had suffered at the hands of Sajid Ali.”

Masih said that he and his wife learned of the assault two weeks later, after they became concerned that their daughter, whose name is withheld as a rape victim, was not acting like her usual self. A ninth-grade student who normally had a lively personality, she was avoiding her parents and siblings, he said.

“When her mother finally convinced her to share what was troubling her, she started crying and told her how Sajid Ali had raped her and threatened her to keep her mouth shut,” said Masih, a member of the local Brethren Church.

Though devastated, the impoverished family decided to keep silent about the assault for the sake of their children’s safety, he said.

“To be honest, our minds went numb with shock and fear, and we thought it was best for our family if we just kept quiet,” Masih said. “Sajid Ali’s family is extremely influential in the area due to their political connections and wealth, while we did not stand any chance to get justice due to our poverty and Christian faith.”

The family’s silence, however, emboldened the assailant, and he again targeted her on July 12, Masih said.

“We were working in the fields when someone told us that they had seen Sajid entering our house,” he said. “We quickly rushed home only to hear [name withheld] screaming in pain. I forced open the room’s door and saw Sajid attempting to rape my daughter. He threatened to kill us if we tried to stop him from escaping, but we got hold of him and immediately called the police.”

Soon after police took Ali into custody and registered a case against him, his family began to pressure Masih to settle out of court, he said.

“When the police conducted her medical examination and confirmed that she had been raped, Ali’s family offered me 1 million Pakistani rupees [$3,500 USD] to withdraw the case,” he said. “When I rejected their offer, they started threatening me with dire consequences if I did not accept their demand.”

A team from legal group Christians’ True Spirit contacted him and offered unconditional support, he said.

“Though the accused is now in prison on judicial remand, his family has stepped up their threats, and I’m very concerned about my daughter’s security,” Masih said.

Masih asked for prayer as they begin the struggle to get justice.

Ali has been booked under Section 376 (iii) of the Pakistan Penal Code relating to rape of a minor, punishable with either death or imprisonment for life, and Section 511, said Katherine Sapna of Christians’ True Spirit. Section 511 covers situations where someone intends to commit a crime and takes steps toward it but fails to complete the act due to circumstances beyond their control.

CTS has also requested police add Section 452 of the PPC, which pertains to house-trespass after preparation for causing hurt, assault or wrongful restraint, she said.

“The accused’s family wields considerable influence in the area and may attempt to harm the girl or the family to prevent them from pursuing the case in court,” Sapna said. “We are cognizant of the threat and will take all measures necessary to protect them.”

The CTS executive director said she regretted that incidents of sexual violence against Christian girls, particularly from poor families, had increased in Punjab Province in recent years.

“This is mainly because the perpetrators think that they can get away with anything since their victims are too weak to oppose them,” she said.

Many Christian families are forced to suffer in silence due to barriers to access to justice, she added.

Pakistan, whose population is more than 96% Muslim, ranked eighth on Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.

Ghislaine talks to DoJ about 100 people linked to Epstein

 

Ghislaine Maxwell gave DOJ info about ‘100 different people’ linked to Jeffrey Epstein, lawyer says


Notorious sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from Justice Department officials about “100 different people” linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of interrogation led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

David Oscar Markus told reporters that his client, currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in Manhattan of federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges in December 2021, was “asked about every possible thing you could imagine – everything.”

“This was the first opportunity she’s ever been given to answer questions about what happened,” Markus added. “The truth will come out about what happened with Mr. Epstein and she’s the person who’s answering those questions.”

Ghislaine Maxwell was interviewed by DOJ officials on Friday, and gave information on about ‘100 different people’ who were linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche had “every single question” answered during the sitdown, Maxwell’s attorney also said, with the British-born convict declining to plead the Fifth Amendment.

“If she lies they could charge her with lying,” Markus noted.

“They did charge her with lying,” a reporter challenged him, referring to two perjury counts that Markus noted were dropped by the feds after her conviction.

“No one is above the law — and no lead is off-limits,” Blanche posted on X Tuesday in announcing he would speak with Maxwell.

Maxwell, 63, is appealing her conviction and sentencing, and legal observers have speculated her willingness to answer questions is tied to a potential clemency grant by President Trump.

Her attorney described the commander in chief Friday as “the ultimate dealmaker” and claimed his client had “been treated unfairly for the past five years” and “didn’t get a fair trial.”

“We hope he exercises that power in a right and just way,” Markus added.

Trump, 79, told reporters after landing in Glasgow, Scotland that “I don’t know anything about the conversation” between Blanche and Maxwell because “I haven’t really been following it.”

“This is no time to be talking about pardons,” the president added after saying hours earlier while leaving the White House that “I haven’t thought” about the idea.

In 2022, the Department of Justice expressed doubts that Maxwell could be truthful, writing in court filings that she displayed a “significant pattern of dishonest conduct” and failed to take responsibility for her heinous crimes.

Court papers the prior year revealed that prosecutors never seriously entertained the prospect of offering the women dubbed “Epstein’s madam” a plea agreement after the financier was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting his own federal trial on Aug. 10, 2019.

According to Markus, Epstein’s attorneys had been informed that “no potential co-conspirators would be prosecuted” as part of his talks with government lawyers following his July 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges.

“I don’t think President Trump knows that the Justice Department took the position that that promise should not be upheld,” he claimed.

In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi teased a full disclosure of federal investigatory files on Epstein during a Fox News interview — including a purported “client list” of high-powered associates — but no such reveal came.

On July 6, the DOJ and FBI put out a two-page memo disclosing that there was “no credible evidence” that 66-year-old had a “client list” or  “blackmailed prominent individuals” in his sickening sexual exploitation of girls — some as young as 14 years old.

“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo also stated.

Epstein counted influential politicians and businessmen as his associates — including former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Trump.

The 47th president had a falling out with Epstein in 2004 — and reportedly later banned him from Mar-a-Lago for acting inappropriately with a club member’s daughter.

A Quinnipiac University poll revealed earlier this month that most Americans have disapproved of the Trump administration’s “systematic review” of the DOJ’s evidence on the Epstein case.

Maxwell has also been subpoenaed to be interviewed by the House Oversight Committee on Aug. 11, an occasion on which Maxwell could exercise her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to questioning.

“We have to make a decision about whether she would do that or not,” her attorney said of the prospect of responding to lawmaker queries.
