NEW CITY – A Sullivan County man admitted Thursday to sexually abusing a child over a period of several years in Rockland County, prosecutors said.

Joel Deutsch, 34, entered guilty pleas in Rockland County Court to predatory sexual assault of a child, course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree and second-degree rape before Judge Kevin F. Russo.

According to prosecutors, Deutsch sexually abused a girl between 2017 and 2024 in the Village of Wesley Hills while she was between the ages of 6 and 14. Authorities said the abuse included physical contact, vaginal intercourse and oral sexual contact. Deutsch was arrested in July of last year.

Prosecutors sought the maximum sentence of 25 years to life in state prison, but Russo promised Deutsch a sentence of 10 years to life on the top charge of predatory sexual assault of a child. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 26, and Deutsch will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

“My Office strongly objected to the sentence imposed yesterday as it did not reflect the gravity of the defendant’s actions,” Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II said. “The rapes and sexual abuse that the victim was subjected to was persistent and went on for several years, and we believed that the facts of this case fully justified the maximum penalty.”

America needs the British law where a sentence can be challenged if it is too lenient or too harsh.

Saranac Lake man sentenced in child sexual abuse case

SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. (ABC22/FOX44) – A Saranac Lake man was convicted of predatory sexual assault after an investigation into the abuse of a child, say authorities.

The Saranac Lake Police Department reports that William Strack II has been sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison.

Strack was arrested last October on 12 felony charges – of which predatory sexual assault was the only one that carried a potential life sentence.

According to authorities, federal, state, and county law enforcement were all involved in the investigation, with the Clinton Essex Franklin County Child Advocacy Center and Franklin County Child Protective Services assisting during the case.

“This sentence sends a strong message that crimes against children will not be tolerated in our community,” said Saranac Lake Police Chief Darin Perrotte. “…. These investigations are difficult and deeply disturbing, but our investigators remain committed to pursuing justice for victims and holding offenders fully accountable for their actions.”

Cornwall police announced Wednesday that they had arrested 22-year-old Ayman Kamran, an Ottawa man from Gloucester, Ont., on several charges, including possession of child pornography, child luring and sexual assault involving children.

Police have refused to say whether Kamran is an international student, permanent resident or a Canadian citizen.

Canadian police, like the media, are following the disastrous lead of British police and media in protecting immigrant paedophiles and thus putting young girls at much greater risk of rape.

Kamran, according to Grok, is most popular as a surname in Muslim Punjab.

More families file lawsuits after Brownsburg daycare abuse cover-up

More families file lawsuits after Brownsburg daycare abuse cover-up

Weeks after the one-time owner of a Brownsburg daycare was sentenced to prison for a child abuse cover-up, four families have filed lawsuits on behalf of their young children.

"These families are entitled to more than criminal convictions. They deserve answers, accountability from every responsible party and the resources necessary to help their children heal," attorney Catherine Michael said in a news release.

In the complaints, filed in Hendricks Superior Court on May 20, the families are seeking compensation on behalf of four victims identified during a multi-agency investigation into the daycare, Main Street University 4 Kidz. The business and the three former employees who were criminally charged are all named as defendants.

State officials closed the daycare on May 8, 2025, two days after one of its employees, Gabriel Garner, was arrested on allegations of child sexual abuse. Owner Nancy Minton and director Jennyfer Lingbeck were also charged after investigators said the two knew about allegations against Garner for more than a year but failed to notify authorities as required by state law.

The May 20 lawsuits allege more than a dozen misdeeds including negligence, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuits, which are identical except for descriptions of each child's specific injuries, argue that the business and its administrators enabled a sustained pattern of abuse.

"While defendants Minton and Lingbeck were privately suppressing reports of abuse, they were publicly continuing to hold Main Street University 4Kidz out as a safe and trustworthy preschool," the May 20 lawsuits read in part. "They continued to greet children at drop-off and to assure parents at pick-up that their children were safe."

The new filings mark the second round of litigation filed in connection with the abuse allegations. In December 2025, the parents of a young girl sued Minton and Lingbeck, arguing that they were partially responsible for the repeated sexual abuse of their daughter. Garner was not named as a defendant in that lawsuit, which has not yet been resolved.

On April 30, Minton was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to neglect of a dependent and failure to make a report. The criminal charges against Lingbeck and Garner remain pending.

Buddhist monk accused of child rape released on bail in Sri Lanka

Senior Buddhist monk accused of child sexual abuse released on bail in Sri Lanka

A Sri Lankan court on Friday released on bail a senior Buddhist monk who was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a minor. The court ordered hi to be kept in custody for questioning, but he spent that term in a hospital, citing health issues. He was arrested along with the girl’s mother, who was accused of aiding the monk in his actions.

Of course, the real problem here is that by bailing the monk, the justice system is signalling that they don't think child rape is such a horrible thing. It does not augur well for little Sri Lankan girls.

Country music world stunned as second member gets arrested on child sex charges

For the second time in just the past six months, a country musician has been arrested and is facing disturbing child sexual abuse charges.

The latest arrest involved Carsen Richards, the bassist in Chase Matthew’s band. Richards is accused of sexually assaulting an autistic 12-year-old.

Matthew announced on social media on Monday that he immediately fired Richards.

That came after Joel Schoepf, a country music veteran from Texas, was arrested following an interaction with a popular group that targets alleged child predators.

According to multiple reports, Schoepf was taken into custody in New Braunfels, Texas on Nov. 13, and was charged with a second-degree felony for online solicitation of a minor younger than 14.

According to Whiskey Riff, Schoepf was immediately fired after his arrest by country music star Parker McCollum for whom he had been working since 2021.

Whiskey Riff also reported that Schoepf was arrested as part of a sting by Alex Rosen, a former college football player turned child predator catcher, who has a massive following on social media as well as YouTube and Locals.

Rosen shared a video on X on Nov. 13 of Schoepf being put into handcuffs.

“He is a predator,” Rosen said as Schoepf was being loaded into a police vehicle behind him. “We caught him off Reddit. He was into babies and toddlers.”

Rosen claimed that Schoepf came to meet a 13-year-old boy.

“He is getting what he deserves right now,” Rosen said.

McCollum did not make a statement regarding Schoepf.

Matthew offered a lengthy statement following Richards’ arrest.

“The situation has honestly been one of the most shocking and heartbreaking things I have ever experienced,” he wrote on Instagram. “When I first heard the allegations, I was sick to my stomach. I would never associate myself with a person I think could even be remotely capable of something like this, much less hire them to be on my team.”

“The reality is, you don’t always know what someone may be doing outside of your workplace, and nothing would have made me believe this was a possibility,” he continued. “As of his arrest this past weekend, this individual was immediately removed from the band and is no longer associated with me or my team in any capacity. And I want to be very clear: I do not support or tolerate behavior of this kind whatsoever.”

The Owensboro Times reported that Richards, 22, was arrested in Owensboro, Kentucky, on May 9 after the BBQ & Barrels concert and charged with two counts of second-degree sodomy and two counts of incest involving a person under 18 by a person three or more years or older.

The outlet reported that Richards is accused of carrying out the actions between December 2020 and December 2022. Richards was booked into the Daviess County Detention Center and is being held on $75,000 bond.
