Preying on children: Olena Zelenska foundation involved in child trafficking schemes 

In Fall of the last year, the wife of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy solemnly announced the creation of a charitable foundation from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. According to Olena Zelenska, the main goal of the Foundation is the restoration of the human capital of Ukraine, as well as the reconstruction of medical and educational institutions. The fields of its activity are medicine, education, humanitarian aid and evacuation measures. Former Secretary of State of the US Hillary Clinton, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, actor Matt Damon, and many other celebrities were present at the reception in honor of the opening of the foundation.

The official website of the foundation in the name of the First Lady of Ukraine creates an effective image of a charity organization which sincerely cares for the citizens of Ukraine and supports them. A special emphasis is placed on the Foundation’s support and assistance to orphaned children, and the evacuation of children from areas of Ukraine that pose an increased danger due to military operations.

Olena Zelenska emphasized her caring attitude towards Ukrainian children and confessed her sincere desire to save Ukrainian orphans from the war in many interviews. In February, 2023 she proclaimed that her Foundation is involved in transporting children abroad in the interview to Australian Financial Review. „We had to evacuate a lot of children from orphanages to other parts of Ukraine and abroad,“ Zelenska said.

Texas GOP city council candidate arrested for child porn just hours before election

A candidate for a Texas city council seat has been charged with two counts of child pornography — and he was arrested just hours before the election, Newsweek reported.

Brad Benson, who was running for Place #4 on the Granbury City Council, was arrested on Nov. 6. The Republican Party of Hood County withdrew its support for him shortly after.

“Crimes of this degree tear at the heart and soul of society, and we condemn them in the strongest terms,” an RPHC spokesperson said in a November 6 statement. “The Republican Party stands for the conservative, family values and the protection of children. These heinous acts are antithetical to what Republicans stand for.”

“The executive committee has conferred, spoken with law enforcement, confirmed more substantial information, and unanimously withdraws their support for Mr. Benson,” the statement added. “It is time for the justice system to act if Mr. Benson is proven guilty, the punishment needs to be swift and severe.”

Former Loveland Police officer arrested in sexual assault on teen girl

The Loveland Police Department and the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday that a now-former Loveland Police officer was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.

Loveland Police Chief Timothy Doran said Dylan Miller was arrested after a 15-year-old girl came forward last month, alleging that he sexually assaulted her in July.

The girl told investigators she had initially been contacted by Miller during a traffic stop earlier in the year, police said. The victim said she next saw Miller in July when she and a friend were at North Lake Park after hours. Miller, who was on duty at the time, contacted the girl and her friend, telling her friend to leave, police said.

The victim’s friend left after Miller told him to, and she told investigators that Miller took her to a secluded area at the park and sexually assaulted her, Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen said.

“The respect that I have at this moment for this young woman and her family to come forward and make this known to us is beyond measure,” Feyen said.

City council candidate doubles down on saying Holocaust was Israel’s ‘advance punishment’

A Michigan candidate for city council is doubling down on comments he made about Jews and the Holocaust as well as child marriage and homosexuality, the Detroit Metro Times reported.

Nasr Hussain, who is running for a seat on the Hamtramck City Council, made posts on Facebook where he said the Holocaust was “advance punishment” for Israel’s “savagery” against Palestinians in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attacks by Hamas.

“A heinous act proving that they’re as savage and cruel as the Nazis themselves who tormented them, or maybe even worse,” Hussain posted in a Facebook group.

He also defended child marriage.

“She was betrothed at six, marriage consummated at nine after reaching puberty and giving her consent,” Hussain wrote in response to a news story about a child getting married to an adult man. “Women reach puberty between 8 and 12. If she was ok with it and her parents were ok with it why does it bother you.”

‘We feel nothing for you but hate’: Victims of ‘sadistic’ paedophile police officer who blackmailed 200 girls into sharing explicit images on Snapchat say they have self-harmed, contemplated suicide and are too afraid to go out – as he’s jailed for life

The victims of a police officer who blackmailed more than 200 teenage girls into sending him explicit images have spoken of the trauma they experienced after being subjected to his crimes. 

Lewis Edwards, 24, who groomed 210 girls aged between 10 and 16 on Snapchat between November 2020 and February 2023, was today jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years.

The South Wales Police officer, who joined the force in January 2021, posed as a 14-year-old boy and forced his victims to make indecent videos and images of themselves, which he covertly recorded.

He then used the recordings to blackmail his victims into sending increasingly graphic and explicit images. He also sent videos of himself performing a sex act.

Some of the girls that were subject to his campaign of abuse told the court of how his crimes had affected them – with many self-harming, contemplating suicide, losing friends and left fearful of going out.

The court heard all but one of the victims were abused while he was a serving police officer, and he targeted one teenager just 17 days after meeting her as part of his duties.

Payton Shires, 24, accused of having a relationship with a 13-year-old boy she was counseling

A 24-year-old school counselor has allegedly admitted to having sex with a 13-year-old boy after being ‘busted’ during a three-way call with cops and his mother. 

Ohio investigators discovered a disturbing video of Payton Shires having sex with the young boy following a report from his worried parent in September. 

Columbus Police officers charged Shires, of Mount Sterling, Ohio, with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, per ABC6. 

The boy’s mother began suspecting Shires of predatory behavior when she spotted texts between the licensed counselor and her son on his phone. The teen was receiving counseling from the 24-year-old. 

Charging documents show the mom contacted police on September 27 after seeing a message from Shires asking her son whether he had ‘deleted the videos’ – and whether anyone had seen them.  

The boy told detectives they had sex at least twice at different places in Columbus. 

Police set up a three-way call between the mother, detectives and Shires, where the social worker reportedly admitted to the sexual relationship.

Shires was taken into custody and police said further charges could be brought against her in the coming days. 

Police have released a mugshot of Shires, who is white with blue eyes and dyed blond hair.

State records show her counseling license was issued on June 12, 2023, and she used to work for the National Youth Advocate Program. 

The program, which supports families in the foster care system or who need advocacy, would not disclose why she stopped working for them, citing confidentiality and the ongoing police case. 

‘Protecting children is everyone’s responsibility.’ program representatives said in a statement.

West Virginia State Police Investigation: 10 more minors, 42 more women in total to sue West Virginia State Police over hidden cameras

Wheeling West Virginia Attorney Teresa Toriseva sent a notice of legal action to Interim WVSP Superintendent Colonel Jack Chambers and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey on April 21 saying 42 women, including 10 minors, plan to file lawsuits against the West Virginia State Police.

The minors attended Junior Trooper Academy.

According to a letter sent by Cpl. Joseph Comer, a member of the WV State Police, to state lawmakers, Governor Jim Justice, and the office of the Attorney General on February 16, a hidden camera or cameras were placed and operated inside the female locker room at the State Police Academy. Toriseva says her clients and other female Junior Trooper program attendees accessed and used the female locker room at the Academy during the time the anonymous letter states the cameras were in use. Toriseva also says the taping of the females in the Academy did not end until 2020, the same time the Junior Trooper Program was discontinued in 2020.

“Our ongoing investigation shows rampant sexual misconduct, including hidden videotaping, toward female cadets and others, while they attended the Academy,” Toriseva told 7News. “Much of the conduct is through witness provided evidence.”

Toriseva says these women that were videotaped have experienced varying levels of physical and emotional abuse

“All of these women were victims of a civil conspiracy perpetrated by instructors, staff and leadership at the West Virginia State Police Academy,” the letter states. “Accordingly, these women will bring suit seeking all available damages under the law.”

The predators’ playground

Clara didn’t think much of it when the social science teacher gave her his phone number.

She’d met Alex Rai in her fifth-period journalism class. He was friends with the journalism teacher, Eric Burgess, and often stopped by Room 16 during his prep period to kill time. Burgess introduced Rai to Clara, telling her that Rai had been his student a decade before. Burgess thought they’d get along.

In the weeks that followed, Rai would perch on Clara’s desk, leaning over as he asked about her day and who she hung out with after school. He’s only a few years older than my sister, Clara thought when Rai texted her one day after volleyball practice. It was a hot Southern California afternoon in 2008, the kind where dry heat radiates off the asphalt. She was bored. Why not pass the time by chatting with the cool teacher?

Soon, Rai was texting her regularly. At first, the messages were flirtatious. Before long, he was calling Clara late at night. She recalled him asking whether she’d had sex yet with any boys her age. Halfway through her senior year, Clara dropped her humanities class so she could become his teacher’s aide.

She loved her humanities class. But Rai had encouraged her to make the switch. They could spend more time together, she recalled him telling her, and he could make her truancies from ditching other classes disappear.

Clara remembers her sister warning her not to get too close. She’d heard stories about Rai from girls who’d attended Rosemead with him, when he was a wrestler on a team known as much for its aggressive pursuit of teenage girls as its state champions. But Clara brushed the concerns aside. She didn’t show her sister the texts Rai sent, teasing her — “you wish you were sleeping next to me” — and asking if she missed him.
