‘Foot fetish’ nurse accused of abuse stays behind bars

Updated . First published
A mental health nurse accused of having a foot fetish and targeting vulnerable teenage patients will stay behind bars after a magistrate called the matter “deeply disturbing”.
Father-of-three Derek George Jackson, 58, has been refused bail after being charged with 12 offences that allegedly occurred over nearly four years on the Gold Coast.

Jackson today appeared in Southport Magistrates Court by video link, closing his eyes and shaking his head as the long list of allegations – including his alleged foot fetish – were detailed.
Jackson is accused of using his trusted position to target six teenage girls, all of them patients and many treated through the Child and Youth Mental Health Service.
All of the girls were described as having complex mental health issues, including acute crises, suicidal ideation and serious self-harm.
Prosecutor Jacinta Raven told the court Jackson’s conduct was not a momentary lapse but directed at highly vulnerable children.
Jackson allegedly had a predilection for “young slender girls’ and stayed at their bedside with no clinical reason to be there.
Raven said the conduct could be summed up as “loitering in the children’s rooms”.
Jackson was allegedly sometimes found sitting on their beds or in a chair scrolling his phone while asking intrusive questions about their sex lives.
“The court is deeply troubled by the offences before the court,” Magistrate Nerida Wilson said.
Jackson allegedly held a sexual interest in the girls’ feet, outlined in court as an alleged foot fetish and supported by cellphone downloads, search histories and messages.
Police sat(sic) child exploitation material was found in his possession and Jackson also created such material.
One teenager described his behaviour as “disgusting, weird and creepy” and referred to him as a paedophile, the court was told.
One of the alleged victims was identified as a teen whose suicide sparked a landmark Queensland youth mental health care review.
Another of his alleged victims was killed in a motor vehicle accident.
Legal Aid lawyers told the court Jackson would contest the charges and did not enter a plea.
The court heard Jackson was stopped by detectives at an international departure point at Brisbane Airport as he was about to fly to Asia, claiming he was travelling for general dental work.
Authorities discovered he held two Australian passports, both current at the time.
The magistrate said she was satisfied there was an “unacceptable risk” he would both fail to appear and commit further offences if released.
Wilson refused bail, remanding Jackson to reappear on July 14 by video link.
Police urged anyone with further information to contact them.
Jackson formerly worked at Gold Coast University Hospital and with the community mental health team.
He is charged with sexual assault, abuse of office, possessing and making child exploitation material along with multiple counts of stalking and indecent treatment of a child.

Georgia father convicted of murder, sex crimes after 10-year-old girl dies in house fire

LOGANVILLE, Ga. —
A Georgia man has been convicted of murder and multiple child sex abuse charges in a case that revealed years of severe abuse leading to the death of his 10-year-old daughter, who was locked in a bathroom during a house fire.
A Gwinnett County jury found William Linn McCue, 51, guilty of felony murder, two counts of rape, three counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of incest. The charges stemmed from the girl’s death and the abuse of her and her siblings over several years.
McCue was sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, followed by a fourth life sentence and an additional 120 years in prison.
“The treatment of these children was horrible,” District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said in a statement. “This child’s death was unconscionable and preventable, and she and her siblings deserved better than they received from their parents.”
Fire led to girl’s death
Authorities said emergency crews were called to the family’s Loganville home on April 17, 2022, because of a fire. McCue’s wife, Carina McCue, rescued the couple’s two younger sons, then ages 12 and 8, but could not reach their 10-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors said the girl had been sleeping in a locked bathroom with no window. A piece of plywood placed over the bathtub served as her bed. She died of smoke inhalation.
Jurors also learned that the couple’s oldest son, who was 15 at the time, started the fire in an attempt to escape the abuse he and his siblings had been enduring.
Evidence detailed years of abuse
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that the children were beaten, forced to wear shock collars and made to stand naked on cinder blocks for hours or even days. Testimony showed they were not allowed to use toilets and instead had to use buckets that were emptied once a week.
The children also were never enrolled in school or homeschooled, according to prosecutors. After they were removed from the home, authorities said, they began to improve, though they remained far behind developmentally and educationally.
Sex abuse allegations surface
Carina McCue testified that her husband admitted raping their oldest daughter, who was 17 at the time of the fire. Prosecutors said the teen also disclosed that he had sexually abused her and her younger sister for years.
Before the trial, Carina McCue pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree cruelty to children, aggravated assault and false imprisonment. She agreed to testify against her husband and was sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Jury reached verdict quickly
Although William McCue was not at the home when the fire broke out, jurors found him criminally responsible for his daughter’s death. The jury deliberated for just under four hours before returning guilty verdicts on all charges.
Predator Poachers group leads to arrest of sex offender in Magna

MAGNA, Utah (ABC4) — A 69-year-old man was arrested in Magna on Wednesday after allegedly attempting to meet a minor. The arrest followed a tip from Predator Poachers, a private online group that targets suspected child predators.
Michael Oren Riser, 69, was arrested in Salt Lake County on one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony.
On June 10, police received a report from Alex Rosen, founder of the Houston-based organization Predator Poachers, explaining that he had been posing as a 13-year-old child and messaging with Riser. Officers arrived on scene in the area of Wickiup Lane and Autosome Lane in Magna.
Rosen told police that Riser was a non-compliant sex offender who had met up to engage in sexual relations with a minor. Rosen also told police that there was an active warrant out for Riser’s arrest for failing to register as a sex offender.
Rosen also told officers that Riser was in possession of child sex abuse material in the shed of his home. He then provided police with livestream footage in which Riser claims that he has the material on his phone that no longer has service in his shed.
Police obtained the phone from the shed and Riser admitted to police that there was child sexual abuse material on it.
Among the files was a video of a girl, aged 8 to 10 years old, performing sexual acts.
There were three active warrants for Riser’s arrest, according to court documents. He is also a multi-state offender.
Riser was booked into Salt Lake County Jail on the charges listed. No further information is available at this time.
An Arizona teacher has been arrested in connection with allegations of child sexual abuse several years ago, authorities announced Friday.
Chester Cox was arrested on three counts of sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of molestation of a child, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said there appears to be no connection between Cox’s job as a teacher at Dr. Daniel Bright Elementary School in Cottonwood and the reports of sexual abuse. The incidents allegedly happened at a private residence, not on school grounds, and the victim was not enrolled at the school.
The 31-year-old has worked at the elementary school for seven years and has lived in Cottonwood for about nine years after moving from Missouri, according to YCSO.
Investigators also said Cox serves as a youth coach in the community but did not meet the victim through his school employment.
Although the victim is now 18, the reported molestation took place when he was around 11 to 12 years old, according to YCSO. Their investigation began after his mother told a church deputy about the allegations.
Days later, detectives identified Cox and(sic) their suspect.
Anyone with information about this case or other possible victims is asked to contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office at 928-771-3260. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Silent Witness.

LICKING COUNTY, Ohio (WSYX) — A tip from the FBI led to the arrest of a Jamestown man accused of sexually abusing a child in Licking County and producing child sexual abuse material, authorities said.
On Friday, the Licking County Sheriff’s Office said it received information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding an individual suspected of sexually abusing a child within Licking County and producing Child Sexual Abuse Material.
Detectives with the sheriff’s office immediately began a collaborative investigation with the FBI, authorities said. Investigators identified the suspect as 25-year-old Kevin Daniel Kauff of Jamestown, Ohio.
As the investigation continued throughout the day, detectives identified the child victim and located the residence where the abuse was allegedly occurring, according to the sheriff’s office. Based on evidence obtained, an arrest warrant was issued for Kauff on one count of rape.
Kauff was located and arrested in Greene County by FBI agents and local authorities, then taken to Licking County, where he is being held pending further court proceedings, the sheriff’s office said.
The investigation remains in its early stages and is ongoing, authorities said, adding that additional charges may be forthcoming as investigators continue to review evidence. Further information will be released as it becomes available and as permitted by law.
The Licking County Sheriff’s Office thanked the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Licking County Prosecutor’s Office, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol for their assistance and cooperation. Authorities said the collaborative effort led to the swift apprehension of the suspect and ensured the safety and protection of the child victim.
A third party investigation into Orange founder Reggie Joiner has confirmed he is guilty of sexual misconduct. (Courtesy photo) A Christian nonprofit that produced the youth group curriculum used by one million children every week has quietly released a summary of the findings of a third-party investigation into allegations of sexual abuse.
The board of reThink Group, parent company of Orange, said the investigation confirmed founder Reggie Joiner is guilty of sexual misconduct.
Victims include four women who worked for Joiner, according to the report, and two who were under his pastoral care at North Point Community Church. Joiner cofounded the metro Atlanta megachurch with Pastor Andy Stanley.
One of the women at the church was 19 when the abuse began, the statement said.
ReThink called the findings “heartbreaking.”

“The investigative findings have left us grieving for those who experienced pain, stress and confusion during their time with reThink,” the board said. “We recognize that there was a betrayal of trust placed in the organization, and most importantly, in its leaders.”

ReThink is not releasing the full investigation done by the law firm Castañeda + Heidelman LLP, citing the need to protect confidentiality. The summary offers few details about the sexual abuse, spending more time reporting on victims willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
The summary statement was posted as an update to a statement reThink posted on its mostly defunct website the Friday before Thanksgiving Day 2025. News of the update was first reported by Ministry Watch on June 8.
‘Zero accountability for the board’
Victims and whistleblowers told the Roys Report (RR) the timing seemed designed to avoid attention and evade responsibility.
“It does not apologize or center the victims or demonstrate any kind of victim awareness at all,” said whistleblower Kim Nunes, a former project manager for Orange. “There’s zero accountability for the board. This is what I expected, but there was one percent of me that was hoping the right thing would be done.”
Board members did not respond to emails from the RR. A spokesperson anonymously declined to answer further questions.

“The statement regarding the third-party investigation was published in November 2025 and has been available continuously at www.rethinkgroup.org for the past seven months,” the unsigned email to RR said. “No additional statements have been made or are planned.”
According to reThink’s November 21 statement, Joiner concealed his sexual misconduct, and no one on the board knew or could have known what was happening.
The board notes the nonprofit did not have written policies about sexual harassment, a professional human resources department or procedures for reporting misconduct. The statement does not apologize for these oversights.
The board instead expresses hope that the “painful lessons” will be useful to others.
“Our prayer is that the truth revealed here will be a step toward healing for those who have suffered, and a reminder to all of us that leadership is a sacred trust, never to be taken lightly,” the statement said. “This can serve as an opportunity for accountability, growth, and change.”
A former employee who spoke to investigators said it was sad the board didn’t take the opportunity it had to be accountable.
“I honestly feel the whole thing was sort of a joke,” she told the RR, speaking on condition of anonymity, citing mental health concerns. “All of the questions we had, it was like, ‘Wait for the report.’ When the report came out, it was nothing.”

Curriculum was widely endorsed
Joiner founded the organization that became reThink and Orange in 2001 while still serving as executive director of family ministry at North Point. He went out on his own in 2006, producing youth group curricula that was widely and quickly adopted by children’s ministries across the country.
ReThink’s annual revenue grew from $168,500 in 2001 to more than $4 million in five years. And it kept growing. In 2024, when accusations of sexual abuse were made public, the Georgia-based nonprofit brought in $24 million.
The reThink curricula covered every age group from preschool to high school. For preschoolers, “Let’s Fly” taught Christ-like compassion. For older kids, there was “Table of Context,” a Bible study presented as “ancient words for modern times,” and “GOAT,” teaching teens to become “the greatest” with Jesus’ teachings about sacrifice and servant leadership.
When Joiner wrote a book articulating his ideas for getting churches and families to work together to develop children’s faith, it was widely endorsed by evangelical megachurch leaders.
Stanley called it a “paradigm shift” and a “brand-new approach to capturing the hearts and imaginations of this generation’s parents and kids.”
Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, said “Reggie Joiner’s ideas … will empower and motivate Christian leaders around the world to rethink how the church and families can and should work together.” Sue Miller, a former director of children’s ministries at Willow Creek Community Church, praised the book as a “must read” and “just what we all need to strategically partner with parents.”

‘Compliance and silence’
While the company grew, Joiner was grooming and manipulating women into sex. One woman, in an anonymous statement, said she was “fully conditioned … to compliance and silence.” When Joiner kissed her, she said, it “felt like being shoved down a dark tunnel slide.”
Another victim has previously said she was prepared to “protect Reggie at all costs,” and “labored under the belief that protecting Reggie was the only way to protect Orange.”
In 2025, Joiner told investigators that he believed all the relationships were consensual — admitting only that one, with a teenage girl in his church, involved abuse.
Georgia law prohibits employers from sexual harassing employees. The legal definition includes any “conduct of a sexual nature” that employees are asked to accept, “implicitly or explicitly,” as a “term or condition of work.”

Georgia also passed a law in May criminalizing clergy sexual abuse. The law prohibits ministers from claiming consent as a defense The behavior that many ministers have called “an affair” or an “inappropriate relationship” is now a felony, punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
Joiner has not been charged with any crime. He reportedly still lives in Atlanta.
ReThink remains open but is not producing any more materials. The organization’s suburban Atlanta office now appears to be occupied by a dentist.
Material still for sale
The existing curricula and the subsidiary company Orange were acquired in 2024 by the Amazing Life Foundation. The nonprofit, founded at that time, has revamped some of the material and rebranded Orange’s annual conference.

Malachi Boyuls, president of Amazing Life, told the RR that the company has “no preexisting or ongoing relationship” with Joiner, reThink or anyone in leadership at reThink.
Boyuls declined to answer any questions about royalty payments.
According to the last 10 years of available tax records, reThink was paying between $1 million and $3 million in royalties per year. Some of that money went to Joiner, who also earned a salary from reThink.
Victims and whistleblowers who spoke to the RR said everything still feels unresolved. Instead of stating what happened definitively and for the record, the board’s statement leaves much cloaked in secrecy, they said.
“I wish that more would come out,” a former employee told the RR. “I want the truth to be out there. But I’ve lost hope.”
ICC prosecutor who charged that Israel committed ‘war crimes’ had ‘nonconsensual sexual contact’ with aide
International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan in March 2024 filed applications for warrants of arrest for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. He claimed that Israel had committed “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.” Later, when he faced these claims about his behavior, some suggested that he leveled these baseless charges against Israel so as to distract from his own woes. That idea has not been disproven.
Also, Karim Khan appears to be following in the footsteps of Tariq Ramadan. Could they be reading the same book.
ICC suspends its British chief prosecutor Karim Khan over claims of sexual misconduct
The International Criminal Court has suspended its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over claims of sexual misconduct in an unprecedented decision.
Khan, the British barrister who sought the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza, stood down from his post on Monday after the court’s oversight body referred him for disciplinary proceedings.
The 56-year-old is facing allegations of sexual misconduct with a female aide, in a scandal that has dragged on for more than two years.
He has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing.
A final decision on Khan’s fate is now up to the Assembly of States Parties, the body that oversees the ICC, which will hold a special session to decide if Khan can remain in his job at the global court.
The Bureau of the Assembly of States parties – the executive committee of the court’s oversight body – said in a statement that it based its decision ‘on the report of an investigation undertaken by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the underlying evidence, the advice of an ad hoc Panel of judicial experts, and written submissions’.
It added that Khan’s suspension pending the assembly meeting ‘is not an indication of the final outcome’.
The UN investigation found evidence that Khan had ‘nonconsensual sexual contact with (the aide) in his office, at his private residence, and whilst on mission’…
