Note: This story contains details about the sexual abuse of children.

The FBI arrested the Vermont state director of a child evangelism organization last week, after he allegedly told an undercover agent that he wanted to rape a 9-year-old girl.

Andrew Buzzell, 34, responded to an online post asking if “any pervs” were interested in “Taboo Young” children, according to FBI Special Agent John Krawczyk. When an undercover investigator asked the independent Baptist church elder, “What is (too) young?” Buzzell reportedly texted back, “There’s no such thing.”

He now faces a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

The church where Buzzell served removed him from leadership and membership in a unanimous vote Saturday.

“We desire complete justice,” Green Mountain Baptist Church, in Center Rutland, said in a statement posted online, “as well as comfort and healing for all impacted individuals.”

The church asked for prayers for Buzzell’s wife and urged anyone with information related to the allegations to contact the FBI.

Child Evangelism Fellowship of Vermont (CEF) told the Roys Report (RR) that it has “zero tolerance for such misconduct” and “the individual in question has been terminated.” The group currently runs three after-school evangelism programs in the state, with  to launch 29 more. 

‘Particularly alarming,’ given Buzzell’s role

Federal prosecutor Michelle M. Arra told a federal court on Tuesday that Buzzell’s role as a director of the child evangelism organization made the allegations against him “particularly alarming.”

“Buzzell’s work necessarily involves, and arguably is exclusively focused on, children and youth ministries,” Arra said. “Buzzell solicited photos of the supposed nine-year-old female and made various statements … discussing the specifics of a desired sexual encounter.”

The 34-year-old, who lives in West Rutland in a rural part of Vermont known for marble quarries, started volunteering for the state’s CEF in 2023, according to public tax records.

Buzzell had little previous experience teaching people to share a message of sin and salvation with children. According to his social media posts, he studied educational psychology and ministry at Pensacola Christian College, a fundamentalist Baptist school in Florida. But when he moved back to Vermont and got married in 2015, Buzzell went to work as a cabinet maker.

One year after he started at CEF, however, he was made state director. Fundraising revenue increased 127% in his first year, according to tax records, and Buzzell was given an annual salary of $43,500.

He also rose in leadership at his small Baptist church, an independent congregation whose ministers frequently quote Puritan theologians, including Jonathan Edwards and John Owen. Buzzell served as a deacon and then elder.

Secret life online

At the same time, according to federal prosecutors, Buzzell was going online under the usernames “kinkyvt1231” and “woodman1241” and sharing obscene images of children.

In December 2024, he allegedly shared three images and a one-minute video on the anonymous messaging app Kik. The video showed a girl between the ages of 6 and 10 being raped on a bed, according to the FBI.

The messaging app reported the suspected child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The report said the username was connected to an email that included Buzzell’s last name and first initial. Kik also shared the user’s internet protocol address, which designates the individual device that connected with the network.

In October 2025, Kik filed a second report with the child safety organization. Someone with the same internet address, but using a second account name, appeared to be sharing images that included “the lascivious exhibition of the anus, genitals, or pubic area” of a child.

Then in June 2026, someone calling themselves “Princesspantyboy” responded to an online ad for “Taboo Young” sex, according to the FBI investigation. The ad was part of a sting operation run by the Violent Crimes Against Children unit. An officer pretended to be a woman inviting men to rape her daughter for a fee.

“Princesspantyboy” said he was very interested. He identified himself in a text exchange as a 34-year-old male in New England and asked immediately to see pictures, Special Agent Krawczyk told the court.

‘How rough would I be allowed to be?’

When the undercover investigator said the child was only 9, “Princesspantyboy” texted back, “Such a perfect age,” according to the criminal complaint. The man allegedly added that “girls need to be trained” to be raped “as young as possible.”

He also texted, according to the FBI, that he had a 10-year-old niece that he wanted to “train.”

The undercover agent tried to get “Princesspantyboy” to agree to drive to Philadelphia to meet in person. The man was interested, according to Krawczyk, and he asked a bunch of questions about a potential sexual encounter.

“How rough would I be allowed to be?” he asked.

But then the man protested that the proposed meeting site was too far away, and he was too busy, according to the FBI.

Federal agents subpoenaed the user information and tracked the online activity back to an email, phone number, name and physical address. All the information from the three different online accounts connected to Buzzell, Krawczyk told the court. The agent said he believes all three usernames belonged to the director of the child evangelism organization.

Law enforcement officers arrested Buzzell at his home on a quiet residential street on Aug. 7. When they interviewed him, he allegedly confessed to sharing the obscene materials online and texting someone he thought was advertising child rape.

When law enforcement asked Buzzell about his niece, he allegedly said he was thinking about a 10-year-old that he knew through church. He was, according to the FBI, actively considering the possibility of raping her.

“This … was a real child,” the assistant U.S. attorney said on Tuesday. “The weight of the evidence against Buzzell is strong.”

The federal government has, so far, only filed a single charge: knowingly distributing material that contains “child pornography.” The crime carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison.

Buzzell was released on bond to await trial. He is required to stay at home, stay off the internet and avoid all unsupervised contact with children.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 31.

A 16-year-old was arrested Thursday in connection with multiple sexual offences against three minors at a day camp in Montreal's Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough, where he was an employee.

The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) says the teenager turned himself in at the request of investigators from its sexual assault unit.

He appeared in Quebec Court's youth division Thursday afternoon and faces charges of sexual assault, sexual contact, voyeurism, and the production, possession and distribution of child sexual abuse and exploitation material. 

In a news release, police said that a criminal investigation was launched on July 31 after officers were informed of alleged sexual acts committed against a child attending the camp.

Police said the teen was "quickly removed from his duties" at the camp and interviewed by investigators.

A criminal investigation revealed that the teenager had allegedly victimized two other minors during the same period.

According to the SPVM, the day camp sent a letter to parents of children enrolled in the camp last week, telling them to contact the camp directly with questions or concerns related to the incidents...

Daniel Rochefort, a prominent civil lawyer accused of sex crimes involving children, is seeking a second bail hearing after being denied release in late May.

The request was filed in Quebec Superior Court on Friday.

Rochefort, 72, faces 11 charges involving two alleged victims who were minors. He was caught in a sting operation involving a female police officer posing online as a 12-year-old girl and was arrested by Montreal police on May 7.

The proceedings are subject to a publication ban, but the Crown is opposing the current application for a review of his detention. A hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 21.

Rochefort was initially charged with producing child sexual abuse material and making sexually explicit material available to a child.

The authorities brought additional charges against him on May 11, alleging sexual interference, sexual assault and invitation to sexual touching, all involving a minor.

• Montreal police seek additional victims of Daniel Rochefort, lawyer charged with sex crimes

The alleged offences took place between January 2007 and January 2012. Rochefort has contested the allegations.

Montreal police later said investigators had reason to believe Rochefort may have had other victims between 2007 and 2026. The investigation is ongoing and more people have come forward to the authorities as potential victims.

Rochefort founded Rochefort & Associates in 1996, a firm specializing in labour and administrative law.

He has represented several police officers, including former Montreal police chief Philippe Pichet. Rochefort is also known for his work at the Gomery and Charbonneau commissions and was formerly a lecturer at Université de Montréal.

In 2022, Rochefort was fired from a teaching position following complaints of sexual harassment from at least three female students.

Child Sex Abuse Class Action Case will Cost Quebec Archdiocese $31.5 mn

 

Judge approves $31.5M settlement in sexual assault case against Quebec archdiocese

MONTREAL - A Quebec Superior Court judge has approved a historic $31.5-million settlement for sexual assault claimants in a class-action lawsuit against the Quebec City archdiocese.

The agreement ends a years-long legal saga for claimants who say they were sexually abused by priests and laypeople in positions of authority at the Catholic organization going back to 1940.

Plaintiffs Gaétan Bégin and Pierre Bolduc, who spearheaded the class action, say they were sexually assaulted by parish priests starting in the 1950s and 1960s when they were aged 14 and 12, respectively.

Scores of alleged victims — both men and women — have said they plan to participate in the case.

The lawsuit marks the first class action to target an entire diocese for sexual assaults allegedly committed by clergy members.

The Quebec City archdiocese covers the provincial capital and surrounding area as well as the Charlevoix and Chaudière-Appalaches regions.

The diocese said Friday it welcomed the news of the settlement's sign-off by a judge, "recognizing that this new stage of reparation will help members continue their journey toward peace and healing," church officials stated in a press release.

The parties presented the agreement to Judge Danye Daigle on July 30, when she heard emotional testimony from victims who described how the alleged traumas affected their lives.

Bishop Jean Tailleur, vicar general of the archdiocese, addressed victims in the Quebec City courtroom that day.

"Faced with the suffering you endure, there is little that my words can alleviate or heal. However, something must be said. On behalf of the Catholic Church of Quebec, I wish to offer you our sincerest apologies," he said.

Apologies for what? For the sex abuse or for burying it and allowing it to continue for 70 years?

Victims have three months to submit a claim outlining the alleged abuse and how it shaped their lives, the Dufresne Wee law firm said Saturday.

The amount paid out to recipients will be determined by two retired judges. The Quebec City archdiocese will issue a letter of apology to each victim whose claim is accepted, said lawyer Justin Wee.

The defendants, which also include the Seminary of Quebec, François-de-Laval College and the AMFQ mutual insurance company, have agreed to cover the administrative cost of the claims process.

The judge approved the out-of-court settlement on Wednesday, according to the law firm and the archdiocese.

Plaintiff Gaétan Bégin claimed to have been assaulted multiple times by parish priest Rosaire Giguère in the Eastern Townships village of Saint-Ludger starting in 1954, when he was 14 years old, and continuing until he was 17.

The assaults, which took the form of touching and mutual masturbation, occurred at the rectory and in a car, according to the lawsuit. Bégin later learned that his three brothers also claimed to have been assaulted by Father Giguère.

After Bégin, his father, and a family friend went to the diocese to report the abuse, the priest was placed on leave and subsequently appointed priest of another parish in the Beauce in 1961. He retired in 1972 and died in 1974 at the age of 73.

Bégin's co-representative, Pierre Bolduc, alleged that Father Jean-Marie Bégin, parish priest of Robertsonville — now part of Thetford Mines — sexually assaulted him for the first time in 1969, when he was 12 years old.

According to the class-action suit, the boy was assaulted approximately 50 times that same year at the rectory, the church, in Father Bégin's car and at the priest's cottage. The assaults took the form of touching, mutual masturbation and oral sex, the lawsuit alleges.

Father Bégin hanged himself in his cottage in 1986 at the age of 60. Bolduc said he had taken steps to be heard by the archdiocese in 2010.

In both cases, the plaintiffs accused it of pressuring them not to report the allegations and of covering up the cases.

They also accused the archdiocese of failing to take action against the priests, as required under canon law, despite learning they had allegedly abused children.

The allegations have not been proven in court.

The victims said they have suffered significant repercussions, including anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, a suicide attempt in one case and alcohol and drug abuse in the other.

Islam in Europe > Violent migrant gets 19 tries at raping and pillaging in Spain; Migrant who beats and robs elderly, good enough for Italy

 

Spain: Muslim migrant goes on three-day rampage, charged with rape and brutal street beating, victim in coma

Aug 16, 2026 11:00 am By Robert Spencer4 Comments

Said Leksili was in Spain illegally, but now his troubles are over. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is giving Spanish citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants, and so soon enough, no one in Spain will dare to raise a voice against this kind of behavior, much less to call the police. The migrants are in the driver’s seat, and they are no doubt well aware of the fact.

Algerian Migrant Accused of Rape, Brutal Beating after Three-Day Rampage in Spain

by Joakim Scheffer, Hungarian Conservative, August 11, 2026:

A 26-year-old Algerian illegal immigrant, already jailed over a brutal street beating in Valencia, has now been accused of raping a homeless woman on the two preceding days, tying together what police say was a three-day rampage that ended with a 47-year-old man in a coma.

The first attack occurred on 22 July. According to the Policía Nacional account reported by Cadena SER, the woman was sleeping in a tent on vacant land in Valencia when the man entered without her consent and used force against her. She resisted strongly enough to prevent penetration. Police say he returned to the same tent the following night, 23 July, attacked her again more aggressively and this time raped her. On both occasions, he allegedly threatened to kill her if she reported him….

Witnesses told police that the suspect became involved in an argument after residents complained about his behaviour. The 47-year-old victim, identified in Spanish media as Arturo C, did not know him. Video recorded at the scene showed the suspect repeatedly punching and kicking him after he fell, including blows to the head. Arturo, who already had one arm in a cast, was left unconscious and taken to hospital with severe head and chest trauma, broken ribs and facial injuries….

Spanish outlets identify the suspect as Said Leksili, an Algerian national who entered Spain illegally in 2020 and remained in the country without legal residence. El Debate reports that he had been detained 18 times since arriving, including six arrests for violent offences in Valencia over the previous three years—three for bodily harm and three for violent robbery. He also reportedly used two identities, one Algerian and another presenting him as Moroccan.

Social media reporting also claimed the suspect had a final deportation order to leave Spain that authorities failed to enforce. Spanish reporting said there was an expulsion proceeding against the Algerian, but it remained unresolved without an actual order.

Egyptian ‘Asylum Seeker’ and His Crime Spree in Italy

Aug 14, 2026 4:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald12 Comments

A migrant from Egypt has been carrying out a one-man crime spree in Italy, targeting the very elderly. He has just been arrested in Milan for robbing an 86-year-old man of a gold necklace. More on his violent career can be found here: 

Italy: Egyptian migrant who beat and robbed 86-year-old victim committed nearly 20 robberies targeting the elderly since just 2023

Remix News, August 10, 2026:

A 27-year-old Egyptian citizen with a long history of targeting the elderly was arrested by Milan State Police on Saturday after he violently robbed an 86-year-old Italian man of his yellow-gold necklace in broad daylight. The incident was captured on surveillance video and published on social media. 

The attack took place on Thursday, August 6, shortly after noon in Via Pezzotti. The elderly victim was walking with his wife when the suspect approached him from behind, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him to the ground. Once on the ground, the Egyptian tore the necklace from his neck and fled toward Via Antonini….

Such violence on someone so old could well have led to the victim’s permanent injury or even death.

He was arrested on the spot, taken to San Vittore prison and placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities.

Investigators say the 27-year-old has more than 20 police arrests, including convictions for thefts and robberies targeting the elderly.

He has been an asylum seeker since 2024 and is therefore legally present in Italy despite his long police record. He arrived in the country in 2023, first landing in Siderno, with his criminal history beginning with a theft in April 2024. From that point, there were 17 further reports for thefts and robberies, most of them targeting elderly victims.

Now why was he granted asylum seeker status in the first place? There is no civil war or other conflict going on in Egypt. The only people who would be in trouble with the current regime of General El-Sisi are members of the Muslim Brotherhood. And under no conditions should Italy be admitting members of the Brotherhood, with their stated intention of spreading Islam throughout the world because, as Muhammad said, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.”

This Egyptian, a one-man criminal gang in Italy, committed close to twenty thefts and robberies since April 2024. He preyed on the elderly, targeting people in their eighties. He caused several of them bodily harm, by violently throwing them to the ground and pulling off their necklaces.

Here is what I don’t understand. He appears not to have been arrested seventeen times for thefts and robberies attributed to him. Furthermore, he seems to have spent very little, or perhaps no, time in jail. Why was that? Why did he keep being released when he was clearly going to rob again? And how many arrests does it take before such a career criminal has his asylum status revoked, and is then promptly deported back to Egypt?
