Newly released bodycam footage shows the shock and emotional unraveling of an Illinois school teacher who was arrested for allegedly molesting a 15-year-old student last month.

You will need to go to Yahoo News to watch the video.

The video shows Christina Formella, 30, being pulled over during a traffic stop last week and being taken into custody where she’s been charged with various sex crimes for having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student in 2023.

Formella is accused of sexually assaulting the boy in a classroom for a tutoring session before class began at Downers Grove South High School in December 2023. The victim’s mother discovered the alleged assault when looking through her son’s text message thread on his cell phone and then contacted police, prosecutors said.

In the bodycam footage, Formella seems confused when police ask her to exit her vehicle.

They then arrest her and place her in the back of a police vehicle where she asks questions about her detention.

Formella can be heard sobbing in the back seat of a police vehicle and asking for her husband, her childhood sweetheart whom she married last year, per reports.

"I feel like I’m gonna throw up," she said in the March 16 video and continues to cry in the back seat.

Formella, who was also a soccer coach, began tutoring the alleged victim after he broke his collarbone, and they began messaging each other on a school platform, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The pair then allegedly exchanged provocative texts, followed by FaceTime chats which led to the December 2023 sexual incident.

"I love you so so much mama," the boy allegedly sent Formella in one text.

"I love you sooooo much baby… Even though this morning was short, it was perfect," the teacher, then 28, allegedly responded.

They both later acknowledged to each other that what they did was wrong, and they never had sex again, per the documents. They spoke for the last time in February 2024.

Christina Formella was left stunned as she was arrested.

Formella denied having sex with the minor and claimed the student had broken into her phone and used her number to send himself inappropriate text messages to blackmail her, according to the New York Post.

She reportedly told investigators that "everybody comes after her because she is good-looking and she is just a good person who cared too much about (the boy)," according to court documents obtained by WGN.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said the allegations against Formella are "extremely disturbing."

"It is alleged that she used her position of trust and authority as a tutor and a coach to sexually assault a minor student. The type of abuse and behavior alleged in this case will not be tolerated," Berlin said.

"The safety and well-being of our children remain our highest priority, and we will take all necessary actions to ensure that anyone engaging in this type of conduct is held accountable."

Formella has been charged with one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, one count of criminal sexual assault and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

She has been released from custody on the condition she does not enter Downers Grove South High School and does not make contact with anyone under the age of 18. She is scheduled to appear in court on April 14.

The state’s attorney’s office said the defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

At her appearance, the Court denied the state’s motion to detain Formella pre-trial and released her with conditions including no entry into Downers Grove South High School and no contact with anyone under the age of eighteen.

    Teacher Allegedly Sexually Abused a Boy, Then Solicited Him to Kill Her Husband: Police

A Kentucky teacher is accused by authorities of soliciting a minor to kill her husband.

Elena Bardin, 27, is currently in custody and facing multiple charges following an investigation by detectives with the Kentucky State Police.

That investigation was launched after a routine search of a boy's room at the Adair Juvenile Detention Center turned up "letters and explicit material" which had allegedly been sent to the minor by a teacher at the facility, according to the KSP.

Detectives now believe that the teacher who sent the material is Bardin, who at the time taught at the detention center.

The KSP alleges that in addition to soliciting the male juvenile to kill her husband, evidence "also revealed that Ms. Bardin had subjected the juvenile to illegal sexual contact and provided him with sexually explicit images of herself."

Authorities arrested Bardin on Wednesday and she is now in custody at the Adair County Detention Center, according to the KSP.

She is facing charges of murder (solicitation), sexual abuse in the first degree and distribution of obscene material to a minor.

There is no public indication that anyone was killed as a result of the alleged solicitation.

The investigation by KSP is ongoing at this time and the juvenile male has not been charged with any crime at this time.

Bardin does not have a lawyer at this time and there is no date yet for her first court appearance.

Former teacher arrested after allegedly accidentally sending child porn to medical office

MAPLE GLEN, Pa. (WKRC) - An elderly former teacher and coach was arrested after he allegedly accidentally sent a pornographic image depicting a child to a medical office that had requested a form submission.

According to court documents obtained by WCAU, 75-year-old Barry Sussmann was arrested on March 19 after he allegedly mistakenly sent the image of child sexual material.

After the crime was reported, police said they investigated Sussmann's home, where the man allowed them to access his computer.

Additionally, police reportedly found physical DVDs in the home depicting similar material.

When interviewed, Sussmann allegedly told police that he had been a high school and middle school teacher and coach for over three decades, and that he had been collecting the illicit material for over 20 years.

Sussmann was arrested and charged with possession of child sexual abuse materials, criminal use of a communication facility, and other crimes, per the outlet.

Child Sex Abuse in the USA > 40 years for Cherokee man for CSA of 3 girls; Section 230 enabling online sexploitation and hampering justice

 

Cherokee man sentenced to 40 years for 

sexually abusing three girls

TULSA, Okla. — A Delaware County man was sentenced on Monday to 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting three juvenile girls.

Sequoyah Hinzo, 29, a United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians Tribe member, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor under 12 years of age, aggravated sexual abuse of a minor by force and threat, and coercion of enticement of a minor.

Court records show Hinzo listed two home addresses – Jay and Kansas, Oklahoma.

Court records show the first victim was between 6 and 8 years old, the second victim was 9 years old, and the third victim was 13 years old.  

Hinzo confessed to using physical force to hold down the oldest teen and putting his hand over the victim’s mouth to keep her from making a noise. Hinzo said he used “force, threats or fear,” which made the victim fear for her life during the rape, court records show.The Jay man also created fake Snapchat accounts, pretending to be someone else, and pressured the teen to send him child pornography photographs.

Should Hinzo be released from prison, he will be on supervised release for life and have to register as a sex offender, court records show.

Manipulated by predators, sold for sex: 12 survivors of online sexual exploitation denied justice

Instead of focusing solely on the Big Tech companies and entities that have enabled sexual exploitation in its annual Dirty Dozen List, the nonpartisan National Center on Sexual Exploitation has taken a new approach to its flagship report in 2025. 

NCOSE unveiled its 2025 "Dirty Dozen List" Thursday, dedicating the entire publication to sharing the stories of rape and abuse survivors denied justice thanks to a "legal loophole" in federal law.

These legal cases, the group says, highlight how Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act allows online platforms to avoid accountability in most cases based on content posted by users. NCOSE believes the only solution is for Congress to repeal Section 230. 

In past years, NCOSE's "Dirty Dozen List" listed 12 companies, entities or laws that the nonprofit argues facilitate sexual exploitation. The list has included companies such as Apple, Roblox and LinkedIn. 

"Our 2025 Dirty Dozen List was re-imagined this year to highlight 12 survivors who have been prevented from receiving justice for the crimes perpetrated on them because Section 230 exists," Haley McNamara, senior vice president of strategic initiatives and programs at NCOSE, said in a Thursday press briefing.

"Some of these survivors were contacted by predators over tech platforms; some were groomed and trafficked online; some had their child sexual abuse posted online," she added, noting that "sexual abuse is rising exponentially." She called Section 230 "the greatest enabler of online sexual exploitation."

Child Sexual Abuse - Global > N. Vancouver teacher guilty of CSA in 1970s; Major CSAM platform shut down by Europol

 

Former North Vancouver teacher guilty of 9 historic sex offences dating back to 1970s

A former North Vancouver school teacher has been convicted of sexually assaulting students decades ago.

Brian Moore, 85, faced a dozen charges including indecent assault, sexual touching and sexual assault. He was found guilty of nine of those counts at North Vancouver Provincial Court on Thursday.

The court heard the historic assaults involved 11- and 12-year-old boys, mostly while he was working as a teacher at Upper Lynn Valley Elementary between 1970 and 1982.

The trial heard that Moore set up situations during class trips that would allow him to sexually touch his victims.

Outside the court, one of the victims — whose identity is protected by a publication ban — said it was a satisfying end to a long journey.

“He’s an 85-year-old guy, he’s fairly decrepit in a wheelchair, walking with two canes so the idea that he needs to be put in jail I’m kind of past that personally,” they said.

“So the day I testified and held him accountable and he was charged was more of an impactful moment to make sure that he wasn’t able to just wander into the night quietly.”

No fear of that! He would, and will, still have to stand before Jesus Christ and give an accounting. 

A date has yet to be set for Moore to be sentenced.

Major child sexual abuse platform dismantled – Europol

The ‘KidFlix’ streaming service has been shut down in an international operation, according to a press release

One of the world’s largest child sexual abuse platforms, with nearly two million users, has been dismantled in a major international operation, Europol has reported.

The ‘KidFlix’ streaming service, launched in 2021, hosted more than 91,000 videos. Around 1.8 million users worldwide logged on to the platform over a three-year period.

According to a press statement issued by Europol this week, more than 35 countries participated in the operation, which resulted in the network being shut down by German and Dutch authorities in March.

‘Operation Stream’ was the largest child sexual exploitation case ever handled by Europol and one of the biggest investigations supported by the agency in recent years, it said.

The investigation into the service, launched in 2022, has so far led to 79 arrests and the identification of nearly 1,400 suspects. Some of those detained were not only consumers of the material but also direct perpetrators of abuse, according to Europol.

Unlike similar platforms, Kidflix allowed users not only to download but also to stream child sexual abuse material.

Europol’s Executive Director Catherine de Bolle said the rise of digital technology had driven a rapid evolution in online child sexual exploitation.

“Some attempt to frame this as merely a technical or cyber issue – but it is not. There are real victims behind these crimes, and those victims are children,” she said.

EU drops vote on child sex abuse law – Politico

The amount of online child sexual abuse material has surged in recent years, with 2024 marking the worst year on record, according to the UK-based Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). The IWF has reported an 830% increase in abusive imagery since it began tracking such material in 2014.

Every year is a record year for CSAM. And that will always be the case until Jesus returns.

Scotland Yard's dynamic fall from grace > Once the home of one of the great police forces of the world, the Met Police are simply disgraceful

 

Woman who reported predatory officer blamed by Met

           Lorraine says she suspected the Met did not investigate her complaints because it had incorrectly recorded she had mental health issues

A woman who was groomed by a predatory police officer has received an apology from the Metropolitan Police after the force blamed her and spread false information about her mental health instead of investigating him.

Lorraine – not her real name – accused the Met of trying to discredit her over her complaints against PC Phil Hunter, whom she met when he made a welfare visit to her home in 2017.

In a letter seen by the BBC, Acting Det Ch Supt Neil Smithson, who leads the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS), apologised for "a series of failings" over a seven-year period.

PC Hunter, who is no longer a police officer, was found guilty of gross misconduct at a disciplinary panel in August.

In a statement issued to the BBC, Det Supt Smithson said he had corresponded with Lorraine on a number of occasions.

"I do not underestimate the effect that this matter has had on this victim... I want to be clear, it is unacceptable for any officer to abuse their position of trust and I would like to acknowledge and apologise for the distress this has caused."

PC Hunter was described as a "sexual predator who used his position to take advantage of vulnerable women".

The letter the BBC has seen states that "victim-blaming has occurred towards you by members of the Metropolitan Police and this is not acceptable".

Lorraine said she found the details "shocking".

She said she had always suspected her complaints had not been investigated because the Met incorrectly believed she had poor mental health.

"I tried to report him over and over again and they completely ignored me and I now know why. To actually see it in black and white is just horrendous."

The disciplinary panel heard that, over a period of two years, PC Hunter sent Lorraine inappropriate messages, and tried to isolate her from friends and family, as part of a "deliberate" and "predatory" plan to have a sexual relationship with her.

PC Hunter retired in 2019, while under investigation for a case involving another vulnerable woman he had also met during a welfare visit, and with whom he had started a sexual relationship.

He was found guilty of gross misconduct a year later for his behaviour towards her.

Despite the DPS being aware that PC Hunter had already targeted another victim in similar circumstances, Lorraine's complaints were ignored.

Astonishing! He had a history of doing what she accused him of, and they immediately blamed her and not him. There is something seriously wrong there, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated.

The letter from the DPS admits her initial allegations were not recorded and were "not given the weight that they should have been", and that it took her "numerous attempts over a period of 18 months" before officers investigated.

It says decisions may have been influenced by the belief that Lorraine was suffering from mental health issues, which it conceded "did not have basis in fact".

'Fabricated' claims

The DPS's letter said that inaccurate information had been recorded about Lorraine on police systems, which were not updated when she provided the force with new information.

Instead, the information was shared with others over the following seven years.

A senior officer told social services that he believed Lorraine had mental health issues, and tried to contact her GP without her consent.

The Met also incorrectly told external agencies that Lorraine had fabricated some allegations, and defamatory information about her was passed by a third party to her GP.
