Springfield, Mo, man accused of sexually

abusing sleeping child

Harrison Keegan, Springfield News-Leader

A Springfield man is facing felony charges after he was accused of sexually abusing a girl who was younger than 10 while she was asleep.

John Toby Grider, 50, was charged last week with statutory sodomy and child molestation after police say he admitted to the inappropriate touching.

According to a probable cause statement, Springfield police began investigating this case in April after the girl disclosed to a family member that she had been molested by Grider.

The statement says police interviewed Grider and he initially denied any wrongdoing but later admitted that the victim was an honest child who was telling the truth about what happened.

Grider allegedly told police he was drunk on the morning in question and he sexually abused the girl while she was asleep. Grider said the touching caused the girl to wake up and he left the home after a confrontation with one of the girl's parents.

Prosecutors say Grider was on probation at the time of this incident after pleading guilty in a domestic assault case and violating orders of protection.

Online records indicate a warrant has been issued for Grider's arrest. He does not have an attorney listed for this case.

The statutory sodomy charge carries a possible life sentence.

Wheelersburg, Oh, man, and several others indicted on

child sex trafficking charges

Allegedly gave drugs in return for access to children

Ironton Tribune - Editor’s note: This article contains allegation of sexual crimes committed against children and reader discretion is advised.

COLUMBUS – A Scioto County man, members of his family and some of his associates have been indicted by a federal grand jury for child sexual trafficking and trying to hide evidence of the crimes.

On Wednesday, court documents from the Southern Ohio District federal court were unsealed and revealed that the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force began investigating Larry Dean Porter, 69, of Wheelersburg, in April 2019, after they heard from several sources that Porter was involved in sexually abusing male and female minors with consent of the minors’ parents, in exchange for illegal drugs from Porter.

He is facing 13 federal counts and is being held in a federal jail with no possibility of bond.

In March 2020, Porter was arrested by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department at the McDonalds in Oak Hill on local charges coordinated by law enforcement.

Porter allegedly offered to pay $80 in exchange for access to a 7-year-old girl. He was arrested after arriving at a pre-arranged meeting location and allegedly stating he would “be done around midnight” and could return the girl then.

The FBI and the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office searched Porter’s Wheelersburg home.

According to victims and sources in the ongoing investigation by the FBI and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI), Porter sexually abused children and produced child pornography kept on flash drives that Porter used extreme methods to conceal.

Prosecutors allege Larry Porter would give illegal narcotics to drug-addicted parents, in exchange for sexual access to the minor victims. It is alleged he often instructed the parents to sexually abuse their own children and recorded it to use as blackmail.

Additionally, according to the criminal complaint, Larry Porter made numerous recorded phone calls and mailed three letters while incarcerated in Jackson County in an attempt to have his family members and associates lie under oath, convince other witnesses to lie to law enforcement, or to convince sources not to provide information to law enforcement.

Larry Porter is charged in a 13-count indictment with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), attempting to sex traffic children (15 years up to life), producing child pornography (15 to 30 years), possessing child pornography (up to 10 years), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years) and conspiring to witness tamper (up to 20 years).

According to the indictment, in the days immediately following Porter’s arrest in Jackson County, two of Porter’s daughters and two of his friends were seen making numerous trips to Porter’s residence and property. Denna Sue, 32, of Wheelersburg, and Crystal D. Porter, 39, of Columbus, were seen digging holes in the ground on the property.

On March 20, officers and agents searched the area in which the daughters were seen digging. They discovered an SD memory card buried inside a glass jar. Court documents allege the memory card contained images of child pornography taken in Porter’s bedroom.

Denna Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), destroying or removing evidence (up to five years), and making false statements to law enforcement (up to eight years).

Crystal Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), destroying or removing evidence (up to five years), and making false statements to law enforcement (up to eight years).

The indictment alleges that two of Larry Porter’s associates, Frank E. Andrews, 68, of Wheelersburg, and W. David Cole, 62, of Portsmouth, were also seen on Porter’s property.

Andrews is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), possessing child pornography involving a prepubescent child (up to 20 years), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), and destroying or removing evidence (up to five years).

Agents said they recovered eight DVDs from Andrews’ residence that contained multiple videos of child pornography. Forensic evidence indicated the file titles match those on Porter’s computer.

Cole is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), and destroying or removing evidence (up to five years).

Facebook messages allegedly show conversations between Cole and Porter discussing child sex trafficking victims. Cole also allegedly removed and destroyed evidence from Porter’s home.

During a recorded jail call, Porter and his cousin, Erroll Wayne Porter, Sr. (Wayne), 69, of Wheelersburg, discussed an individual they believed was a source for law enforcement.

Wayne Porter said he “got some things working there, trying to take him down.”

In a later call, Porter told Wayne, “Go out and make sure that idiot don’t do something. If you have to put a slug in that son-of-a-bitch.”

Wayne Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years) and conspiring to tamper witnesses (up to 20 years).

Joshua David Aldridge, 36, of South Webster, is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison) and sex trafficking children (15 years up to life in prison). He allegedly transported minor victims to Porter’s home and received drugs from Porter in return.

Charity Ann Rawlins, 41, of South Webster, and Ronnie L. Rawlins, 47, of Oak Hill, are also charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison) and sex trafficking children (15 years up to life in prison).

The couple allegedly took a seven-year-old child to Porter’s residence on a regular basis to traffic the child sexually in exchange for pills. 

This alleged abuse occurred a few times per week for up to five years.

A number of other adult women allegedly involved in this conspiracy have been charged locally.

Criminal complaints and indictments merely contain allegations, and defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Jackson County Sheriff Tedd Frazier said they believe there are more victims in this case.

“Please have the courage to come forward and fight for your justice by contacting my office or the FBI,” Frazier said, adding they can call the FBI at 614-315-4923 or his office at 740-286-6464.

“I am very pleased with these indictments and very proud of my deputies and the part my deputies had in ending this child sex trafficking operation,” Frazier said, adding Jackson County will not tolerate the actions of anyone who preys on children.

“We will hunt down those that abuse and take advantage of our children and our families. Children should not be placed in circumstances where they are in danger nor traded for drugs,” Frazier said. “We want to find justice for all of their victims.”

child porn charges

By Ironton Tribune

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A former South Point man and ex-Marshall football player was in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia on Monday for child pornography crimes, according to U.S. attorney Mike Stuart, who represents the southern district of West Virginia.

“Egregious and despicable crimes. I have absolutely no tolerance for child predators. Zero,” Stuart said. “There is no greater priority for me than protecting our children.”

Taylor admitted that in January 2019, he utilized the mobile messaging application Kik to send several graphic videos of child pornography to an undercover FBI agent.

KC, Mo, Resident Sentenced to

20 Years for Child Pornography

STL.News Editor 1

A Kansas City, Missouri, resident was sentenced in federal court today for possessing child pornography.

Raul E. Villalva, also known as Isabelle Villalva, a biological male who identifies as a female (transgender woman), 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 20 years in federal prison without parole.  The court also sentenced Villalva to 20 years of supervised release following incarceration.

On Oct. 9, 2019, Villalva pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.

In July 2018, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a report from an online file hosting service that a user of the service, later determined to live in the Kansas City area, had uploaded 42 files of child pornography. After further investigation, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Villalva’s residence on Oct. 3, 2018.  Villalva disclosed that an adult male with whom he shared the residence had previously sent him, by cell phone, videos and pictures of the adult male sexually assaulting a child victim at the defendant’s residence.  Investigators seized Villalva’s cell phone, which contained videos and images of child pornography.  Some of the child pornography depicted in Villalva’s cell phone depicted the child victim being molested by the adult male, while a single video depicted Villalva also engaging in sexual contact with the same child victim.

Villalva will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Luna.  It was investigated by the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force, the Platte County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.  Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

South River, NJ, man charged with receiving child porn

Suzanne Russell, Bridgewater Courier News

NEWARK - A 52-year-old South River man has been charged with allegedly receiving files showing child sexual abuse and hiding objects to impede the FBI's investigation.

Charles F. Browne has been charged with one count of receiving child pornography and one count of concealing an object to impede a federal investigation, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a release.

Browne was scheduled to appear Thursday by videoconference before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Dickson, the release states.

According to court documents and statements, in September 2017, Dropbox Inc. noticed that child pornography had been uploaded to a Dropbox account with the screen name “Charles Browne” and an email address containing the term “cbrowne,” the release states.

The FBI obtained the files that were uploaded to the Dropbox account, which allegedly included prepubescent child sexual abuse and a resume for Browne, the release states.

On April 8, 2019, law enforcement approached Browne, as he left his then-residence in Toms River, to interview him about an ongoing investigation. Subsequent to the interview, he allegedly disposed of items in the Kettle Creek, a coastal waterway, the release states.

On April 12, 2019, the Ocean County Sheriff's Office deployed a drone at the end of the pier and located an object of interest. FBI divers were deployed and recovered an iPad and iPhone, both of which had been previously registered with Browne’s Apple iCloud account, the release states.

Further review of the recovered devices indicated they had been at Brown’s residence and near a body of water north of Bay Terrace Road. One had been at the location where his car was pulled over. The recovered iPad contained videos depicting prepubescent child sexual abuse and emails to and from accounts linked to Browne, the release states.

If convicted of receiving child pornography Browne could face a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and fine of $250,000. The count of concealing objects to impede a federal investigation count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, the release states. 

U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents with the FBI Newark Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Douglas Korneski, with the investigation that led to the charges. He also thanked the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Acting Prosecutor Christopher Kuberiet, and the South River Police Department, under the direction of Chief Mark Tinitigan, for their assistance in the investigation.

Ex-Tennessee Teacher Sentenced for Traveling to Virginia

to Sexually Abuse Minors

(STL.News) – A Tennessee man was sentenced today to 16 years in prison for traveling from Tennessee to Henrico County in order to meet up with and sexually abuse two minor children.

According to court documents, Thomas Monti, 73, of Murfreesboro, used the moniker “Master Thorn” to reach out online to an undercover FBI agent posing as an adult with access to two minor children.   Monti detailed his interest in engaging in sexual acts with the children, to include graphic and violent sadomasochistic conduct.  The explicit chats continued for approximately two months until October 2019, when Monti made the 10-hour trip from Tennessee to Virginia to meet the purported woman and the children in Henrico County.  His intent was to live with the woman and the children for a time in order to engage in various forms of sexual abuse.

Upon arriving at a restaurant in Henrico County on the afternoon of October 3, agents with the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force arrested Monti.  In his car were handcuffs, plastic ties, chains, metal skewers, ball gags, various sex toys, and candy.

Monti previously worked as a teacher since 1972 and served as an assistant principal from 1996 to 2007 in the Nashville, Tennessee area.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.  Led by U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Latham, NY, teacher arrested on child porn

and assault weapon charges

MyTwinTiers

LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Colonie police say they arrested Warren Street Academy social studies teacher Sean M. Miller, 26, of Latham on Thursday for possessing and promoting images of child sexual abuse, and for having an illegal assault weapon.

The Internet Crimes Against Children task force tipped off state police, indicating that someone at a residence on Coventry Court in Latham possessed and had transmitted images of child sexual assault. The child pornography featured images of young girls who police do not think are local victims.

The Colonie Police Department and the New York State Police Computer Crimes Unit executed a search warrant on Thursday at the residence, Miller’s home. Police say the search revealed that not only was Miller responsible for the child porn, he also had an illegal assault weapon.

Police seized Miller’s computer devices, which will undergo a forensic examination as detectives search for additional illegal images or videos.

Police say they charged Miller with promoting a sexual performance by a child, possessing a sexual performance by a child, and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. New York’s sentencing guidelines indicate that these crimes could be worth 18 years if he’s convicted.

Warren Street Academy in Hudson is Miller’s most recent employer. Although police say they have not discovered any local victims, Miller’s profession granted significant access to potential victims.

If you or someone you know has any information or were a victim of Miller, contact your local police department.

Warren Street Academy is an alternative school that is closing June 30. According to his biography on the school’s website, he was the social studies teacher, with a bachelor’s degree in History and a master’s in Education.

28-y/o Santa Ana, Ca, Man Accused of Possessing Thousands of Child Sexual Abuse Materials

By City News Service 

Santa Ana PD

A 28-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in Santa Ana for allegedly possessing "thousands" of child sexual abuse images and videos.

An investigator with the Santa Ana Police Department began investigating Jaime Castillo in March for allegedly trading child erotica and child sexual abuse materials, commonly known as child pornography, according to the department.

Over the two-month investigation, involving nine search warrants, thousands of images and videos of child sexual abuse were found to be stored by Castillo, and he allegedly sent more than 75 images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of "young children," the Santa Ana Police Department said.

Police tracked the IP address to a home in Santa Ana, and on Tuesday morning they executed a search warrant at the home, which "reaffirmed the suspicion that Castillo was storing the sexually explicit files in several data storage devices located in his home,'' according to the Santa Ana Police Department.

Castillo was arrested and the devices were seized, police said.

Man wanted in North Ogden, Ut, child sexual abuse case turns himself in to authorities

By MARK SHENEFELT Standard-Examiner

A Las Vegas man wanted on three first-degree felony child sexual abuse charges in North Ogden has turned himself in to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

Roberto Garcia, 46, was arrested Friday and is held in the Purgatory Correctional Center in Hurricane, Washington County Sheriff’s Lt. David Crouse said Tuesday.

“We didn’t have to do much,” Crouse said. “He said he wanted to turn himself in, so the booking staff located his warrants and placed him under arrest.”

Crouse said Garcia remained in custody pending transfer to Weber County to face the charges.

In an indictment filed June 2 in 2nd District Court in Ogden, the Weber County Attorney’s Office accused Garcia of rape of a child, sodomy upon a child and aggravated sexual abuse of a child for alleged incidents from September 2010 to September 2011.

A June 3 arrest warrant requested by the North Ogden Police Department alleged the incidents occurred when Garcia was in a position of trust with a 7-year-old girl.

In April 2019, the girl, then 15, told her stepmother of the alleged abuse, the warrant said. In a subsequent police interview in Texas, the alleged victim elaborated on the incidents, the warrant said.

Charges were filed after North Ogden detectives reported that efforts to interview Garcia or have him respond to written questions submitted to his attorney had not succeeded.

Randall Richards, Garcia’s attorney, filed a request for discovery in court Tuesday listing 26 paragraphs of items desired to help in the man’s defense.

Those items include “Any evidence which tends to negate the guilt of the defendant, or mitigate the guilt of the defendant, or mitigate the degree of the offense, that has been discovered by any member of the agencies involved in this investigation or prosecution.”

Later Tuesday, the county attorney’s office filed an objection to the scope of the discovery request, arguing it goes beyond what the prosecution is required to disclose under rules of criminal procedure.

Israel, in a first, files charges against Muslim parents for underage sharia marriage

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

In a first and a precedent-setting move, Israel has filed charges against Muslim parents for marrying off their underage children. The prosecution handed down “indictments against three fathers and one couple for facilitating the underage marriage of their daughters aged from 11 to 14 years of age.”

They were operating according to the norms of the Sharia. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. (Sahih al-Bukhari, 7:62:64)

Bedouin girls marry young and there are high birth rates among Bedouin communities; it is not

uncommon for a woman to have six to ten children.

“Israel indicts Bedouin parents for marrying off underage daughters” 

by Riki Carmi, YNet News

The prosecution has handed down for the first time indictments against three fathers and one couple for facilitating the underage marriage of their daughters aged from 11 to 14 years of age.

A 1950 law that was never enforced in the Bedouin community, allows marriage from the age of 18 unless sanctioned by family court.

According to the charges, the accused arranged for their daughters to marry men that in some cases were much older than the young girls with the content of the Sharia court in the south of the country.

Group protests bail-release of Edmonton man charged with kidnapping and child sexual assault

BY ALLISON BENCH GLOBAL NEWS

About 100 Edmontonians gathered in the McQueen neighbourhood Saturday, asking for the reversal of a bail decision involving a man who was charged with sexual assault in March.

The small group gathered peacefully, with many holding signs demanding protection for victims of sexual assault.

Police said on March 10, a young girl was walking home in the area of 144 Street and 110 Avenue when she was approached by someone in a vehicle she didn’t know.

The girl was pulled into the vehicle and sexually assaulted before being dropped off nearby, police said.

Thirty-seven-year-old Wade Stene has been charged in connection to the incident but was released on bail earlier this week.

 Around 100 people gathered Saturday in Edmonton to protest the release of a man charged with sexual assault. Eric Beck / Global News

While the Edmonton Police Service regularly issues warnings about sex offenders who are released, it took the unusual step Wednesday of issuing a warning related to someone whose case has now gone to trial.

Police also let the public know he would be living in McQueen — the same neighbourhood where the assault took place.

Now, how is that girl possibly going to get on with her life knowing she could see that creep at any moment. What idiocy we have for judges in Canada! So much care for criminals, and virtually no thought for their victims. This child probably has to leave the community. What kind of insanity is that?

Then, on Friday, police took another unusual step and issued a post saying that vigilante justice will not be tolerated.

The organizer of Saturday’s protest said that she believed the majority of the neighbourhood would prefer Stene to remain in custody as he awaits trial.

“[The bail] decision must be overturned so that the accused can be returned to the remand centre to await his day in court,” Melanie Depalma said. “So that this young child, this young innocent child and her family can live in their home, their community, without having to do so with constant fear.”

Glori Meldrum, the founder of Little Warriors and Be Brave Ranch, said at the protest Saturday that she was inspired seeing so many people standing up for the family of the girl involved.

“I’m so proud that it’s peaceful and people are standing up for this little girl and her family and the beautiful children in this community,” Meldrum said.

“It is about time that people rise up against child sexual abuse.”

Stene’s lawyer has repeatedly said that his client is presumed innocent until a judge says otherwise, adding he has heard of Stene’s family being harassed over the past week.

“Those individuals that are worried about him living in their community, they should recognize that he is presumed innocent,” Mark Jordan said Saturday.

And you should recognize that a young girl was raped, and other girls are in danger. Children are voiceless and get no consideration from the courts. This is a perfect example.

“The type of vigilante justice that’s occurred, with people threatening him online or threatening his mother in person — I understand from her, someone told her she should die.

“That’s completely uncalled for and they should allow the family to live in peace.”

Remember who it was, allegedly, who broke the peace.

Stene’s release comes with conditions, including that he must wear a tracking bracelet on his ankle, stay at home 24 hours a day, have any travel for medical or legal appointments approved by his bail supervisor and have no contact with anyone under the age of 18.

I'm sure he will listen to that. Do you think, judge, that he didn't know that raping children was illegal until you pointed it out? Why should he suddenly become law-abiding? Good grief!

He is also not allowed to buy, possess or consume any alcohol or non-prescribed controlled substances.

This is a small start, about 100 people, but it's a start. The problem of raising awareness of child sexual abuse in Canada is a difficult one. For instance, this very article did not mention 'child sex abuse, or child rape', or for that matter, kidnapping, until I inserted it into the headline. Children have no voice; the media has to take a giant step forward to speak for children. You had to read well into this story before you even knew that it involved a child. We must do better.

Coimbatore teens held for sexually assaulting

11-year-old girl

Two of them are alleged to have repeatedly assaulted the girl and were produced before the Juvenile Justice Board on Saturday.

The New Indian Express

COIMBATORE: The three boys, aged between 15 and 16, have been booked under the POCSO Act for sexually molesting an 11-year-old girl in Coimbatore. Two of them are alleged to have repeatedly assaulted the girl and were produced before the Juvenile Justice Board on Saturday. They are now lodged at an observation home for juveniles in Coimbatore city police said. Police have not yet secured the third boy.

According to the police, the girl, a class VII student, resides with her widowed father in a rented house near Sundarapuram. While her father goes to work, the child stays at the landlord's house on the ground floor of the building to watch television. Police said the landlord recently gave his 16-year-old son, a Class 10 student, a smartphone to attend online classes. 

On May 20, when the girl was there watching television she is said to have noticed the boy and his friend watching pornography on the smartphone. On realising she had seen them, the two boys allegedly forced the girl to watch the videos before taking her to her house upstairs and sexually assaulting her. Police said they assaulted her repeatedly and warned her against telling anyone. According to police, the boys later invited another boy, a minor, to join them in sexually assaulting the girl. This went on for a week, police revealed. 

A few days ago, the girl was taken to a government hospital after developing severe stomach pain. She revealed what had happened to the doctors who examined her. The doctors alerted Podanur police. 

After receiving a complaint from the girl's father, Podanur police registered a case against the three boys under Sections 5 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) and 6 (punishment for aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. 

The police picked up two and produced them before the Juvenile Justice Board which sent them to an observation home on Saturday night. Further investigation is on, said police. 

Vidya Reddy of Tulir, who works in the area of child sexual abuse, sees such cases as reason why digital citizenship must become part of school syllabus and why children must be provided resources to understand boundaries and their own sexual development.

Good luck with that.

"Considering that more aspects of education, business and other interactions are shifting online, it is essential that digital citizenship becomes part of the school syllabus," she said. "Digital citizenship must be taught from Class 1 onwards with an understanding of the social and emotional learning of children." 

"We have to understand we live in a sexualised world, and children are constantly exposed to sexual materials. Such crimes will continue to take place if we don't provide resources for children to understand boundaries, their own sexuality and sexual development and responsible use of technology," she explained. 

'Child sexual abuse material': Milton, Ont man,

facing child pornography charge

by Louie Rosella  Milton Canadian Champion

A Milton man has been charged with possessing child pornography after a Halton Regional Police investigation.

The probe, police said, revealed a user was creating multiple accounts on a social media/messaging app to "access child sexual abuse material," Det.-Sgt. Crystal Kelly said in a news release.

Police allege the man used a number of social media applications, and utilized several user names including "Tray3757," "eazzy890" and "Toybug90."

Ian Twigg, 31, of Milton, was arrested June 18 and charged with possession of child pornography.

Online child sex abuse nears record high with coronavirus

Thai Police rescue 100 children

Online child sex abuse cases in Thailand are set to hit a record high this year, police said on Thursday, with cybersex predators exploiting the new coronavirus crisis to target more children.

The police-led Internet Crimes Against Children (TICAC) taskforce has rescued more than 100 children in the last two months - almost double the 53 victims helped in 2018, which was the highest annual figure since its foundation in 2016.

"Children aren't going to school and criminals are taking advantage of this to look for income during unemployment," Thakoon Nimsomboon, head of TICAC, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

The global spread of cheap, high-speed internet and the rise in mobile phone ownership has fuelled cybersex crimes in recent years, with children from Thailand to the Philippines being exploited over livestreams for paying clients worldwide.

Officials and activists have seen child cybersex abuse worsen under the coronavirus pandemic as families have struggled to earn a living while children have been at home and online, fuelling calls for better child education on internet safety.

Since mid-April, the police taskforce has recovered more than 150,000 files of child sexual abuse material and opened 53 cases. In 2019, they had 72 cases involving 46 victims.

"There is a high possibility that figures this year will reach a record high, especially since officers have time to investigate due to less crime on the streets," said Pol Col Thakoon, who is also deputy commander of the anti-trafficking unit.

Thailand has ramped up efforts to tackle child sex abuse in recent years, with the 2016 launch of TICAC by the Royal Thai Police, which works hand-in-hand with local non-governmental organisations to track down offenders and their victims.

It has 180 officers who hold full-time positions in other police agencies.

TICAC has investigated more than 280 cases of internet-facilitated child sexual exploitation since 2016, of which 81 are related to human trafficking. The rest are related to sexual abuse and pornography.

Wirawan Mosby, director of the HUG Project, a charity that helps trafficked children, said the government should improve school internet safety policies, especially when children are learning from home.

"Having such high figures is not something to be proud of, and law enforcement is not solving the problem at the root cause," she said.

Child rights experts are urging Thailand to enact a law that will criminalise grooming of children for sexual abuse, which will help protect them from being sex trafficked.

"Since we don't have this law yet, children need to become victims first in order to press charges (towards the offender)," said Ms Wirawan. "This is why we need to focus on prevention and educating children."

Russian mum sold daughters, 7 and 8, to paedophile

and watched as he raped them in a car

Jon Lockett, The Sun

A VILE Russian mother has been jailed for 20 years for selling her two young daughters to a paedophile. 

A shocked court was told she then watched as the fiend raped the girls - aged just seven and eight - in a car.

The twisted mother was jailed for 20 years by the courts

The man was jailed for 22 years in a strict regime penal colony and separately convicted of blackmailing and sexually attacking a 14-year-old girl. 

Images showed the pair - who were not named - being escorted into a court in Sayanogorsk in Khakassia region.

The woman accepted an undisclosed sum of money from the paedophile to rape her young children. 

The woman - now 35 - took them to his car where he attacked them. 

The 2012 case came to light when the sisters - by now teenagers - fled from their mother and confided about the horrific ordeal to a social worker.

The closed-door trial convicted both the paedophile and the mother of rape and violent sexual acts after exploiting the "helpless state" of the victims. 

The Russian Investigative Committee said:  "Between November to December 2012, they put children in a car, where the man committed sexual acts against children in the presence of their mother. 

“They violated the normal physiological, mental and moral development of the girls' personalities."

A TV report by Vesti Khakassia said: “The man offered to pay the mother for sex with her daughters. She agreed and herself brought the little ones into his hands. It happened inside his car.” 

The man, now 53, was also convicted of grooming a 14 year old girl on social media then blackmailing her into having sex with him. 

The sisters are now in the care of their paternal grandmother, according to reports. 

Child abuse victims to sue Celtic FC in landmark case

Civil action claims Scottish club failed to protect them from paedophiles working around Celtic Boys’ Club

Henry McDonald, The Guardian

Victims of a number of paedophiles are to sue Celtic football club in a ground-breaking civil action amidst claims it failed to protect them from sex abusers working around Celtic Boys’ Club.

Three victim-survivors aim to use a civil trial to “knock down the defence wall” they say Celtic has erected in order to distance itself from the Boys’ Club, the Guardian has learnt.

The Glasgow-based team insist that Celtic Boys’ Club is a separate legal entity – a claim that those abused at the latter say only compounds the decades of hurt they have endured. The new Scottish Premiership champions have repeatedly made this claim in the Scottish media.

The victim-survivors hope their case will also shine light on the role played by a senior Celtic executive when one paedophile returned to the Boys’ Club after he had been allegedly sacked from it in 1974 by Jock Stein, the Glasgow side’s legendary European Cup winning manager.

A Guardian investigation has also uncovered allegations of threats, intimidation, vandalism and social media attacks on the family of one victim of the Celtic Boys’ Club abusers. There is no suggestion these incidents are linked to anyone connected to Celtic FC or the Boys’ Club.

Several victim-survivors have criticised the Scottish government for failing to set up an independent public inquiry into the abuse scandal that has shaken Celtic and Scottish football.

A Scottish government spokesperson said it has already established a wide ranging review into child abuse across Scotland.

“The Scottish government, having listened to the views of survivors, established one of the widest ranging public inquiries that Scotland has ever seen, into the abuse of children in care, focusing on the systemic institutional failures which saw many of our most vulnerable children, including those in the care of the state, abused by the very individuals who were there to care for them. We want that inquiry to be able to undertake its work in a timescale that can address the issues raised by survivors, many of whom are elderly,” it said.

And if we're really lucky, most of them will die before we ever get around to them...

Patrick McGuire, one of the lawyers for the 21 victim-survivors, describes Celtic’s argument that it was and is a separate legal entity from the Boys’ Club and is therefore not corporately responsible for the paedophiles crimes as “absolute nonsense.”

McGuire, a senior partner in Glasgow law firm Thompsons which is taking the civil action later this year on behalf of the victim-survivors, said:

“There is loads of evidence of scouts at Celtic finding young stars and telling them the route into the parent club is first to join the Boys’ Club.

“We have a copy of ‘Celtic View’ (the club’s official newspaper) which talks about the players of that week going from the senior team best player all the way down to the Boys’ Club. Their in-house newspaper talks about the Boys’ Club being ‘part of the Celtic family’ and Davy Hay, a former manager, described the youth side as the ‘base of the pyramid’ of the entire club.”

The abusers connected with Celtic Boys’ include multi-millionaire businessman James Torbett who helped set up the club in the late 1960s. He was sentenced for six years in November 2018 after the trial judge said he “used the club as a front for child sexual abuse.” Torbett was also jailed in 1998 for abusing young players between 1967 and 1974.

Another prominent management figure in Celtic Boys’ Club was the team’s former kitman Jim McCafferty. Last year the 73-year-old was found guilty of 12 sex abuse charges in relation to ten boys. McCafferty’s crimes stretched from 1972 to 1996. He was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison after admitting to all 12 charges.

At the time of his conviction in May 2019 McCafferty was already serving a prison sentence for the sexual abuse of a boy in Belfast. Four out of his 12 victims played for the Boys’ Club but others included boys from other football youth teams he ran in North Lanarkshire.

Several of these men’s victims went on to become senior professional players at Celtic, other Scottish premier league teams and for Scotland.

One of Torbett’s victims who has spoken out, David Gordon, says Celtic’s position that it was and remains a separate legal entity flies in the face of facts.

“We trained at Barrowfield (their training centre) and we actually played at Parkhead. I remember running out there as a 14-year-old in the hooped jersey before a Celtic v Rangers game in front of an 80,000 plus crowd. I remember we even swopped jerseys with a young Rangers kid on the pitch. Was I playing for a separate legal entity back then? They even used to get us at the Boys’ Club to sell the programmes during big matches.”

Families who have spoken out in favour of the civil action against Celtic have received physical and on-line threats over recent months.

Michelle Gray’s late brother Andrew revealed before he died in Australia that Torbett had sexually abused him when the paedophile was allowed back into the club in the mid 1980s. Michelle Gray and her mother Helene say the threats started when they attended Torbett’s second trial in 2018.

“One big man among Torbett’s supporters outside the court room even said out loud that my mother and me were ‘dirty lying bastards.’ This was in October 2018,” she recalls.

“This was his second conviction and there were still people turning up to support Torbett.”

Michelle Gray says she heard one of them say that Andy was also a ‘dirty lying bastard’ even though her brother was already dead.

Even after Torbett’s second conviction the Gray family say the online torment, social ostracisation and even vandalism directed at Michelle’s car is ongoing.

“When we went public and said we were joining the civil action against Celtic I received a death threat on the phone. The level of abuse on social media over the last few months has also been appalling.”

Are UK football fans a little bit insane, or is it more than a little bit.

N.Z. Man jailed for child sexual exploitation images

Nelson, NZ

A 33-year-old man has been sentenced to three years and four months’ jail for exporting - more commonly known as uploading - and possessing child sexual exploitation images and videos.

He was also convicted for failing to meet obligations in relation to a computer search.

In February 2018, Customs investigators executed a search warrant at the man’s Nelson home after international authorities advised his address had been used to upload child sexual abuse publications onto an online storage platform.

Despite several requests, the man refused to provide passwords to his phone and computer, which Customs had seized for forensic examination, says a statement from Customs.

Subsequent investigations showed the man changed his online passwords after Customs investigators departed his home, and that he tried to access one of the accounts a few hours later using a different phone.

Customs forensics specialists located a total of 75 objectionable images and videos, on two separate online storage accounts that depicted the sexual exploitation of children.

Fifty two of these publications were considered to be in the worst category of offending.

Customs Investigations Manager Bruce Berry urges people to stop referring to this type of material as ‘child pornography’. There’s an incorrect and unacceptable perception created when the term ‘child pornography’ is used, as it implies legitimacy and consent.

“These are serious sexual crimes against children, with the offending being captured on camera for others to see. Offenders like this man fuel demand for the production of such abhorrent publications, and children are re-victimised every time the images or videos are viewed. Perpetrators may think they are beyond the law at home, but there is a global network out to stop them," he says.

Each time an image or video is uploaded to, or downloaded from, an overseas-based server, it is regarded as an electronic export or import across the cyber border.

Customs works closely with Police and Internal Affairs to identify and apprehend offenders in New Zealand, and also works with international partner agencies - as it did in this case.

The maximum penalty for the importation, exportation, or possession of objectionable publications is ten years’ imprisonment.

Former NZ athletics coach to serve home detention for historic child sexual assault

Joanne Holden, Stuff

NATASHA MARTIN/STUFF

Franklyn Lloyd Robert Harwood, 80, has been sentenced to eight months' home detention for two counts of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and three of doing an indecency with a boy 12 or under.

A man who bore four years of child sexual abuse at the hands of his athletics coach grappled with drugs, alcohol, and pornography addiction over the more than 30 years since he was molested.

“Being sexually aware so young is unnatural and has changed my life,” the Auckland man said in a victim impact statement read to the Timaru District Court on Wednesday.

“This should never have happened but I must continue to live with it.”

He was aged 12 and under when Franklyn Lloyd Robert Harwood, a recidivist child sex abuser, assaulted him on camping trips and during a sleepover, between January 1, 1984, and December 31, 1987.

“This has affected me far more than I realised. I've had to live with this offending all my life and the impact has become more evident since it is finally being addressed.”

A father of two, he said he was “extra vigilant” over his own children's movements out of fear they would be preyed upon.

He said the “humiliation of being manipulated and groomed for the defendant's gratification” had damaged his performance at school and left him angry, lacking confidence, and with low self-esteem.

Judge Joanna Maze sentenced Harwood, 80, of Fairlie, to eight months' home detention.

Lovely - 4 years of paedophilia, a life virtually destroyed, and he gets sent to his room. You really know how to send a message Judge Maze!

He had pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection and three of doing an indecency with a boy 12 or under.

In a summary of facts presented to the court, Crown prosecutor Anne-Marie McRae said Harwood was a coach at an Auckland athletics club and the victim was a club member at the time of the abuse.

Harwood organised numerous camping trips for the club around the North and South Islands, where he would encourage the victim and his peers to touch each other while he watched. On one occasion, the victim was forced to touch him in front of the others.

When alone with the victim in their shared tent, Harwood molested him.

“Each incident lasted for about five minutes with the victim being told to keep these incidents a secret,” McRae said.

Judge Maze said the victim's age meant he was “incapable of consent” and Harwood breached his position of trust as the boy's coach.

The defendant was convicted of similar offending against three boys in 1976, and was further convicted of indecent assaults on seven boys between 1986 and 1990.

He served jail time in 1990 before securing a spot in the Kia Marama sex offender treatment programme.

Judge Maze said he was at low risk of reoffending because of this “rehabilitation and risk reduction” measure, and the fact he had not offended since he was released from prison.

The Crown was not seeking that the defendant be registered as a child sex offender, the judge said. “It is clear that you have consciously expressed your acceptance and remorse for what has taken place.”

Defence lawyer Thomas Nation said Harwood was “profoundly sorry” for abusing the victim. “He was distressed to learn of the effect it had on the victim's schooling. He stresses the victim is entirely blameless.”

Nation said Harwood would pay an undisclosed amount of reparation to the victim for emotional harm caused, and was “more than happy” to support him in any way possible.

Judge Maze said because Harwood was going into surgery due to his ill health on Thursday, the sentence of home detention would start on Monday.

7 people charged in child sexual abuse

investigation on Manitoba First Nation

CBC News

Manitoba First Nations Police have laid 44 charges against seven people accused of child abuse on Sandy Bay First Nation. (Manitoba First Nations Police)

Seven people — both adults and youths — have been charged following an investigation into sexual abuse involving two children on the Sandy Bay First Nation.

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service launched the investigation on April 9, after being told by Sandy Bay Child and Family Services about the sexual abuse allegations, involving two victims and several suspects.

The abuse is alleged to have happened between 2014 and 2020 in the First Nation, located about 130 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, on the west shore of Lake Manitoba.

A total of 44 Criminal Code charges have been laid against the seven accused, according to MFNPS.

Police are not releasing names to protect the victim's identities.

The abuse stopped when one of the victims came forward, according to Insp. Dave Scott of the MFNPS.

The boy and girl were "quite young" when the abuse allegedly started and are now in their teens, he said.

And thoroughly messed up, no doubt. I hope they get some serious help. I believe many of the child suicides in remote First Nations settlements have to do with child sexual abuse. Much of it probably stems from Canada's horrid Residential School program.

He could not say if they were in CFS care or not when the allegations happened — which involved sexual abuse and physical assault.

Adults, youths charged
Of the seven accused, two are adults and five are minors but Scott would not provide genders. He said the majority of the charges are against the adults.

Most of the abuse took place in one of the homes on the First Nation but there are other locations as well, Scott said.

"Certainly, it's upsetting to us to hear this," he said, noting that the victims have been placed outside of the community and are in a safe environment.

The investigation is continuing and there is a possibility of more victims, Scott said. "Hopefully it sort of ends here but I'm certain that things may develop later on. I know our members are on top of it," he said.

All seven accused have been released from custody on court-imposed conditions and are scheduled to appear in court at later dates.

Prolific paedophile from Odsey, UK,

jailed for child abuse offences

A ‘dangerous and repugnant’ paedophile living in Odsey has been jailed for a string of child sexual abuse offences.

Roger Vye admitted the charges of attempted rape of a child under the age of 13, two counts of assault of child under 13 by penetration, sexual assault of a child under 13, arranging or facilitating the commission of child sex offence distributing indecent photographs of child/children, making indecent photographs of children, possessing extreme pornographic images and possessing prohibited images of children.

He pleaded guilty in January and was sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment, with a further five years on extended licence at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday last week. The 55-year-old has also been issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which includes preventing him associating with any child under the age of 18 and he will be subject to Sex Offender Registration for life.

Vye – who previously lived in Dover in Kent – was arrested on October 22, 2019 at a location in London having arranged to sexually abuse a young child.

A subsequent search was conducted at an address in Odsey and electronic devices were seized and submitted for forensic analysis.

The analysis confirmed the presence of a large collection of indecent images of children and also confirmed that Vye had a long-standing interest in the sexual abuse of children. Vye had distributed some of these images to other offenders online.

Also recovered was evidence linking Vye to the historic sexual abuse of a child who had been subjected to a prolonged period of abuse which occurred in 2009 and 2010 in the Kent area.

Detective Constable Jonathan Booty, of the Metropolitan Police’s Online Child Abuse and Exploitation team, said: “We want those who have endured these offences to know they will be listened to when they speak out, regardless of how many years have passed since their ordeals took place, or who the abuser is.

“They can speak in confidence to trained counsellors at the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000, while Childline is there for young people on 0800 1111 or www.childline.org.uk.”

Anyone with information of a potential victim is asked to contact DC Jonathan Booty via 101. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.

Anyone who has any information that could help protect a child from online abuse, is asked to call 999, or alternatively contact the NSPCC or Internet Watch Foundation.

Croydon, UK, paedophile used Kik app to

manipulate people for child sex abuse

Police found the 46-y/o had taken advantage of a vulnerable teenager

An "extremely manipulative" Croydon paedophile had 2,500 Kik chat logs on his phone from where he had found people with access to children to facilitate sexual abuse of children and get indecent images of children.

Graham Mead, of Portnalls Road in Coulsdon, was jailed for 30 months at Guildford Crown Court on Thursday, June 18 for a number of offences including making and taking indecent images of children.

The 46 year-old pleaded guilty to arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, making an indecent photograph of a child, and three offences of taking indecent images of a child at earlier hearings.

A Surrey Police investigation was launched in February 2019 after Mead’s online activity was reported to officers. The investigation found Mead had been using the messaging app Kik to seek individuals who had children or access to them.

Police also found a vulnerable teenager that Mead had taken advantage of.
