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.

Germany: Muslim migrants accused of luring underage girls into prostitution in exchange for hard drugs

May 23, 2026 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer8 Comments

Muslim rape gangs are not only in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, as is demonstrated with abundant evidence in Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It. And so now we see them in Germany, and the perpetrators are “predominantly of Syrian, Pakistani, and North African origin.” In Britain, they’re predominantly Pakistani, which has led a handful of courageous individuals who are not quite courageous enough to refer to them as “Pakistani grooming gangs.” But they didn’t destroy the lives of English girls on an industrial scale because they were Pakistani. They did it because they were Muslim. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

The perpetrators in this case in Nuremberg were all Muslim, but of different nationalities. Will any investigator start to look into whether Islam provides any justification for this behavior? Not on your life. That would be “Islamophobic.”

Migrant grooming gangs in Nuremberg accused of luring underage girls into prostitution in exchange for hard drugs

by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, May 22, 2026:

Migrant drug gangs in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg are accused of exploiting underage girls by luring them with gifts, getting them hooked on hard drugs, and then demanding sex in exchange for further supplies, according to a press release from the state police.

The suspected exploitation centered on Nelson Mandela Platz near the city’s main railway station, as well as nearby areas including Südstadt and Celtispark, which have long been known to police for drug crime.

In a statement published on Thursday, Bavarian Police said investigators found growing evidence that members of the drug scene were deliberately approaching young girls from unstable family and living situations. The men identified so far are described by police as predominantly of Syrian, Pakistani, and North African origin.

The girls, some as young as 13, were allegedly first offered affection and gifts such as clothing or cosmetics. Investigators believe they were later supplied with hard drugs, including crystal meth. Once dependent, they allegedly received further drugs only in exchange for sexual acts or other “services,” with some forced into prostitution.

Ten people have been identified so far, according to the Nürnberger Nachrichten. Four are under investigation for offenses including drug trafficking, supplying drugs to minors, and sexual crimes. A 23-year-old Syrian national is already in custody, while arrest warrants have been issued for two men still on the run: a 22-year-old Syrian and a 25-year-old stateless person. An 18-year-old Pakistani national is also under investigation….

It is possible that the investigation could uncover a larger grooming gang scandal across the city, with youth welfare officers already sounding the alarm about the scale of the problem. Frank Schmidt, deputy head of Nuremberg’s youth welfare office, said problems around major train stations are “not unique to Nuremberg,” but warned that the open nature of suspected drug-related prostitution among young girls was new…

Austria: Muslim migrant father stabs his 15-year-old daughter 12 times for dating a non-Muslim boy

May 23, 2026 11:00 am By Robert Spencer10 Comments

This story says that the Afghan tried to kill his daughter because she was dating a Romanian boy, as if the problem were that the boy was Romanian. But Afghans don’t have some peculiar animus against Romanians. The problem was that the boy was non-Muslim, and Islamic law forbids a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man.

In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)

And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

‘I just wanted to slap her’ — Afghan father sentenced to life in Austria for stabbing teenage daughter 12 times for dating a Romanian boy

by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, May 20, 2026:

An Afghan man has been sentenced to life in prison in Austria after trying to murder his 15-year-old daughter in a knife attack that prosecutors said was driven by claims of wounded family honor.

The 51-year-old attacked the girl on Nov. 24, 2025, in Vienna’s Donaustadt district, stabbing her more than a dozen times in the chest, back, and neck. The assault was so violent that the blade broke during the attack. The girl survived only after a doctor from a nearby clinic quickly provided emergency first aid.

As reported by Kronen Zeitung, the case was heard at the Vienna Regional Court and the sentence passed down on Tuesday. The court heard how the attack followed tensions inside the family over the girl’s relationship with a Romanian boy of the same age. Her father, who fled to Austria in 2004, allegedly regarded the relationship as unacceptable and claimed she had damaged the family’s honor.

In earlier statements to police, the teenager had described threats, violence, and control inside the family. She said she had been promised to an older Afghan man, was not allowed to make her own decisions about her life, and had been threatened along with her boyfriend and older sister.

However, her testimony in court surprised those present. While her father remained in the room, the girl suddenly defended him and said she forgave him.

“My father is actually a very loving person. I was simply too rebellious. I love my father, and I forgive him for what he did,” she told the court….

According to ORF, the defendant said at police interview that he had the right to stab his daughter because she had a boyfriend.

He told the court there had been another argument that day and claimed he had been concerned about school and one of her friends, whom he described as a bad influence. “I was worried. I just wanted to calm her down a bit,” he said. “I was angry. I lost my temper. I actually wanted to slap her.”…

But you had a knife in your hand and you stabbed her in the neck so hard that you broke the knife. That's attempted murder, no matter how you look at it. 

In January, a Syrian man was sentenced in absentia in the Netherlands to 30 years in prison for murdering his 18-year-old daughter, Ryan, after accusing her of living too Western a lifestyle. His two sons were each sentenced to 20 years for their roles in the killing….

In Sweden, a Palestinian family from Örebro was put on trial in September 2025 after abducting their 20-year-old daughter because she wanted to integrate into Western society. Prosecutors said the woman had lived under years of strict control, had been forced to wear a headscarf, and was not allowed to choose her friends or live independently.

Investigators found messages in which the father allegedly wrote in Arabic: “She must have her head cut off!” He later claimed the phrase was not meant literally. Other messages reportedly showed relatives objecting to her embrace of Swedish identity, with her older brother writing: “She loves Sweden and being Swedish.”

Germany has also seen several honor-related cases. In Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony, a Syrian father was accused in 2025 of ordering his 17-year-old son to kill his 19-year-old sister after she saved a boy’s phone number. The son refused and went to the police.

“He looked at me with a cold stare. No smile, nothing,” the boy told investigators. “Then he said, ‘You have to kill her. Make it look like an accident, like a fight. No one must know that she insulted my honor.’”

According to Bild, the daughter later said, “For five years, my father has been beating us daughters. We are not allowed to speak to boys or have contact with them.”

In another German case, a Somali migrant was put on trial last year, accused of stabbing his sister to death on her 23rd birthday after objecting to her assimilation into Western society. Prosecutors said handwritten notes found at the defendant’s home included the lines, “My sister is trying to be a slut” and “I can live without a future but not without honor.”

Sweden has also seen unresolved or partially unresolved cases with alleged honor-related motives. In May 2025, the Svea Court of Appeal upheld the acquittal of three Afghan-born individuals on murder charges over the killing of 37-year-old Ako Abbas, whose dismembered body was found in a suitcase in woodland on Värmdö in March 2024. The court convicted the defendants of lesser offenses, but no one was convicted of the killing itself. The main suspect remains at large.
