MARYLAND (WBFF) — A West Virginia man was sentenced in Maryland for child sex abuse crimes involving a 3-year-old child, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
Officials said Donald Robert Wilt Edwards, Sr., 30, was sentenced to 25 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release for sexually exploiting a minor.
In June 2024, court documents revealed that Edwards captured himself sexually abusing and exploiting a three-year-old victim.
Authorities reported that Edwards took two photos and one video of the abuse and distributed them online using the Kik messaging application.
Other child sexual abuse material was also on his cell phone and on his social media accounts, according to the report.
In December 2024, investigators executed a search warrant on Edwards’ Elkins, West Virginia home and seized several electronic devices.
Throughout the investigation, authorities said law enforcement found more child sexual abuse material in Edwards’ devices and social media accounts.
Edwards will now spend the next 25 years in prison for these crimes.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (ABC4) — A man has been arrested and is accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl.
Paul Jesse Hamilton, 27, has been arrested on 10 counts of forcible sexual abuse (second-degree felony), 10 counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor (third-degree felony), and three counts of unlawful kissing of a minor (class A misdemeanor).
According to court documents, West Valley City Police received a report of a sex offense on June 22, 2026. The 16-year-old victim and her mother reported that the victim had been sexually assaulted. The victim’s father had reportedly found her in a vehicle with a 27-year-old man, later identified as Hamilton.
An interview was conducted with the victim, where she stated that she had met a man, later identified as Hamilton, at her brother’s wedding in 2026. She told police that they would talk over TikTok and eventually met in person on four separate occasions. She added that they would meet at a park and then drive to another park where Hamilton would then ask her to get in the backseat and cuddle.
The victim said that during one of the meetings, Hamilton asked her to sit on his lap facing him and would “move her up and down.” She told police that she would “flex her legs to make it harder for him to move her,” according to court documents.
On another occasion, the victim reported that Hamilton would force her hand to touch his “private parts”, and she would look away because she “did not want to do this.” When she looked away, Hamilton allegedly asked, “Are you embarrassed or something?”
The victim also described several other instances of sexual abuse and stated that she “told him not to do this several times.”
According to court documents, the victim also told police that when she would ask Hamilton his age, he would reply with “too old” and then later said that he was 25 years old.
The victim’s brother reportedly recorded a video where Hamilton admits to the aforementioned acts.
Hamilton was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, where he is being held without bail.
D4vd Texts Suggest He Got Celeste Rivas Hernandez Pregnant at 13, Talked Her Through Abortion: LAPD

D4vd exchanged a series of text messages with his alleged murder victim Celeste Rivas Hernandez about an abortion she purportedly had in January 2024, when she was 13 and he was an adult, according to phone records presented today by prosecutors.
The messages were recovered from the singer’s iCloud account and presented alongside what investigators described as an extensive collection of child sexual abuse material involving Rivas, found on a phone seized from his Los Angeles home. The platinum-selling singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, is accused of killing Rivas on April 23, 2025, after she threatened to disclose the alleged abuse. Prosecutors say he later dismembered her body with a chainsaw inside a blue inflatable pool in his three-car garage. Burke has denied the allegations.
Testifying as the prosecution’s final witness at a hearing to determine whether Burke should stand trial, Detective Corey Farell of the Los Angeles Police Department read the messages aloud and described dozens of images that he said documented Burke’s sexual abuse of Rivas. Prosecutors said the images, which depicted sex acts at Burke’s home, were too sensitive to display in court. Farell said one screenshot recovered from Burke’s phone showed that his lock screen at one point was a photograph of him and Rivas embracing while both were naked from the waist up.
During a description of one graphic photo, Rivas’ mother, Mercedes MartÃnez, began to cry while seated in the gallery. Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman walked over to comfort MartÃnez, telling her, “I really think this is stuff you don’t need to hear. I just think it’s too much.” MartÃnez then got up and walked out of the courtroom in tears, along with Jesus Rivas, the teen’s father.
The text messages, spanning November 2023 through April 2025, showed that Rivas repeatedly told Burke she feared she was pregnant. The earliest such message presented in court was from late November 2023, around the time prosecutors allege Burke began a sexual relationship with her.

The two activity leaders at a leisure center in Biarritz, one of whom is suspected of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old minor and the other of corrupting a 15-year-old minor, have been placed under judicial supervision, the Bayonne prosecutor's office indicated.
Specifically, the first presenter, aged 36, was charged with sexual assault of a minor under 15, while the second, aged 21, was charged with corruption of a minor under 15. Both men were subsequently placed under judicial supervision.
In total, investigators had identified 13 minors, children aged 3 and 4, whose families have not all yet filed a complaint, who must be heard in specialized units (UAPED) to allow the facts to be defined more precisely.
The investigation, opened on July 10 and entrusted to the Biarritz police station, follows "the first revelations of a child to his parents, followed by others," the Bayonne prosecutor's office specified.
The two accused had been suspended on July 17 by the municipality, "as soon as it became aware of the facts," the prosecutor's office explained.
They save a young woman who is being sexually assaulted on a beach by reading "help" on her lips
By CNEWS
Published on - Updated on
A 22-year-old woman was sexually assaulted on a Cannes beach by a 35-year-old Tunisian man on July 23. She was rescued by two tourists who saw the distress on her lips.
In the summer, sexual assaults are even more frequent than at other times of the year. Since the first heatwave in May, reports of street harassment have jumped by 30% on the Umay app, which is designed to offer help to victims, as reported by FranceInfo .
On the beach in particular, women are not immune to persistent stares or inappropriate remarks and gestures. On Thursday, July 23, a bather experienced this firsthand on the sands of Cannes, before being rescued by two tourists, reports Nice Matin on Wednesday, July 29.
It was around 3 p.m. when a man lay down next to the 22-year-old victim. He asked her to watch her bag while he went to get a drink. He then suggested they go for a swim, an offer she declined. A few moments later, she decided to go for a dip and noticed the man following her.
two years in prison
He approached her, touched her breasts and then her buttocks, and pressed his genitals against hers. He justified his actions by saying, "It's to teach you how to swim; you're like a sister to me." Completely paralyzed, she tried to discreetly call for help. Two tourists noticed her distress when they read "help" on her lips. They didn't hesitate to dive into the sea.
The assailant then fled. The presence of surveillance cameras near the beach allowed the police to locate him. Achraf G., a 35-year-old Tunisian man, was taken into custody.
Behind bars, he admits to having suggested to the victim that they "swim together" and "play in the water," but denies having laid hands on her. According to him, she became upset "because he had wet her hair.
The judge found his arguments unconvincing. The individual was therefore sentenced to two years in prison, banned from French territory for five years, and registered as a sex offender. The victim suffered severe trauma. Medical professionals prescribed ten days of total incapacity for work.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A former Columbia teacher is now facing federal charges linked to child sexual abuse material.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said 44-year-old Jonathan Andrew Monk was indicted by a federal grand jury for attempted production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
The nine-count indictment alleges Monk used at least five different usernames on the messaging app Kik, including “rizzlertwizzler” and “skoobidi1777″, to exploit victims who were 15 and 16 years old.
Monk is accused of coercing the victims to “engage in sexually explicit content for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct.” Documents also state Monk sent multiple files of child sexual abuse material between August and November 2025.
Monk faces at least 15 years in prison on his current charges, with a maximum of 30 years.
Monk was also identified by authorities as a former teacher. Publicly-available state records show that his South Carolina teaching certification expired in 2017.
Heathwood Hall Episcopal School later confirmed that Monk was a former employee at the school.
“Heathwood Hall is aware of the recent arrest of a former employee. As always, our top priority is the safety and support of our students, staff, and families. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement,” Suzanne Nagy, the school’s assistant head, wrote in a statement to WIS.

Additional charges filed against Plano ISD teacher jailed on child sex abuse charges
Paul Campbell, a second-grade teacher at Brinker Elementary, now faces three more counts of indecency with a child.
Paul Campbell, a teacher at Brinker Elementary, is charged with continuous sexual abuse of a student after the child's family contacted police.
PLANO, Texas — A former Plano ISD elementary school teacher already jailed on child sex charges is now also facing three counts of indecency with a child, police say.
"We want to acknowledge the courage of the children who have come forward, as well as the strength and resiliency shown by their parents throughout this difficult process," police said in a statement. "We recognize that disclosure can take time, and that each victim and family makes decisions about participation at their own pace."
Campbell's original arrest warrant states the abuse took place at the school during the 2025–2026 school year. He had been with the district for more than 28 years before his arrest. According to newly released arrest affidavits, the alleged abuse occurred multiple times and involved multiple students.
Court records state one alleged victim told investigators the abuse happened during the 2023-24 school year, while others reported incidents during the 2025-26 school year.
In a statement Monday, Plano ISD called the alleged conduct reprehensible and said it is inconsistent with the district's values, standards and expectations.
"Any conduct that threatens student safety is unacceptable, and the district will respond promptly and decisively whenever allegations of this nature are reported," the district said. "The additional charges reinforce the serious nature of the allegations and the importance of allowing law enforcement to complete its investigation. The district continues to cooperate fully with the Plano Police Department as it leads the criminal investigation."
On July 9, Plano ISD's board voted unanimously to send notice of proposed termination of Campbell's contract.
"Our children are the most vulnerable demographic of our society," Plano police spokesperson Andrae Smith said.
Police announced Monday that three additional alleged victims have come forward as the department's Special Victims Unit continues investigating the case.
"We're not immune to evil, and evil has knocked on our back door," Smith said.
The latest allegations have shaken families in the Brinker Elementary community.
One mother, whose two children attended the school and knew Campbell, said she was stunned when she learned more children had come forward.
"Honestly, I was in shock," she said. "It makes me cringe. It makes my skin crawl, to be honest. This particular teacher has tarnished their reputation right now."
Police say the investigation remains active and believe additional victims may still come forward.
"We plead that you come forward to tell your story," Smith said.
Investigators say they are committed to identifying every potential victim and ensuring every child is safe.
Former kindergarten assistant sentenced for child sex crime in MS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former kindergarten assistant in Mississippi was sentenced to prison for transporting child sexual abuse materials using social media applications, the United States Department of Justice said in a release on Wednesday.
Benjamin Wilkes, 31, had sought out images and videos of children as young as four years old engaging in sexual conduct and then stored them in a social media cloud for easy access, according to court documents.
Wilkes was sentenced to 20 years in prison with an additional 10 years of supervised release and is required to register as a sex offender where he lives, works, or is a student.
“Child exploitation and pornography are an abomination. No ambiguity: it is evil, and a civilized society cannot tolerate its existence. We as citizens of Mississippi must continue to work tirelessly to redress and stamp out these crimes. Thankfully, Homeland Security Investigations and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations have taken up this cause and joined forces to push such perversion out of this great State. Keep up the excellent work,” said Scott Leary, U.S. Attorney.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. The DOJ launched it in May 2006.

A babysitter who sexually abused two babies in her care and shared the footage with paedophiles online has been jailed for 70 years. Molly Elisabeth Duncan, 26, of Beachwood, Ohio, USA, was sentenced to 840 months in prison by US District Judge Pamela A. Barker after pleading guilty in April to a series of offences involving the two children.
She admitted two counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children, Distribution of Visual Depictions of Minors Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct and Possession of Child Pornography, or Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). Judge Barker imposed the sentence on July 22 and also ordered Duncan to serve 25 years of supervised release after she completes her prison term.
In addition, she was ordered to pay $20,000 (£15,000) towards the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, which was established in 2015, and a further $8,000 (£6,000) under the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Assistance Act, created in 2018 to provide financial assistance for victims of child sexual abuse.
According to court documents and evidence, Duncan worked as a nanny for the families of the two children in northeast Ohio between about November 2023 and July 2024.
Court records also state that she worked as a nanny in the Northern District of Ohio for around 10 years.
Prosecutors said Duncan sexually abused one child in Portage County and another in Geauga County. Both victims were under the age of two.
Investigators said she recorded visual depictions of the abuse on her mobile phone before sharing the videos through a social media platform with others who also had a sexual interest in children.
