Pioneering Aboriginal children’s advocate sensationally quits her role claiming that she was sexually assaulted by a Canberra bureaucrat

The ACT’s first Commissioner for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children and Young People has stepped down from her ‘dream role’ after an alleged assault.

Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts was appointed to the position in 2024 but has been on extended approved leave since July 2025.

She officially resigned from the role at the end of 2025 following months of questions about her absence in Canberra. 

However, Turnbull-Roberts on Tuesday morning alleged she had left her office after being subjected to ‘sexual harassment and sexual assault in Canberra by a public servant’.

She cited concern for her ‘physical and psychological safety’ as reasons why she left the role and added she needed to act in the ‘best interests of my family’.

‘This conduct has no place in any workplace,’ she said.

‘Appropriate reports have been made, including to police, and these matters are now with the relevant authorities. This experience has impacted me in ways too shattering for language to fully hold.’

Several ministers had previously voiced their concerns about Turnbull-Roberts’ ‘persistent absenteeism’, reported the Canberra Times last month.

Turnbull-Roberts shot down those report as ‘incorrect and harmful’.

‘It misrepresented the reality of my decision and caused me further harm. Taking steps to protect one’s health and safety should never be distorted or weaponised,’ she said.

‘No one leaves work of this significance without reason. As a survivor, a mother, and a proud Bundjalung woman, I know what it means to be unprotected in systems meant to provide care. I also know what it means to choose safety when it is not adequately provided.

‘I escaped the child ‘protection’ system at 18, after being forcibly removed from my family and communities at 10 because of racism. I have lived what children and families endure inside these systems. 

‘My focus since has never wavered: human rights, Indigenous rights, children’s safety, and defending mothers and families.’

The Canberra Times claimed that Turnbull-Roberts had a ‘part-time presence’ in the nation’s capital, writing: ‘There has been growing disquiet in the ACT First Nations community about the effectiveness of the [Commissioner and her office].’

Turnbull-Roberts on Tuesday said she valued her time as Commissioner, writing that she ‘witnessed extraordinary courage’ during her tenure. 

‘I sat with children and young people so often dismissed or silenced and watched them speak with clarity, strength, and spirit.

Illegal Aliens Break into North Carolina Man’s Home, Tie Him Up, Beat Him — Then Rape Him

While the radical left continues to push for open borders and “sanctuary” rhetoric, the consequences of their lawlessness are landing on the doorsteps of hardworking Americans in quiet, suburban neighborhoods.

A quiet neighborhood in Greenville was shattered in the early morning hours on Wednesday after two illegal aliens allegedly broke into a man’s home, tied him up, beat him with a weapon, and sexually assaulted him in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.

According to the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, 21-year-old Zaid Mayen and 20-year-old Jonathan David Garcia Larios have been arrested and charged in connection with the brutal home invasion.

Arrest warrants list the following charges:

  • First-degree sexual offense
  • First-degree kidnapping
  • Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury
  • First-degree burglary

Authorities say the suspects forcibly entered the home at 200 Louis Street with the intent to assault the victim.

According to the Reflector, the warrants state the men injured the victim with an edged weapon, restrained him against his will, and moved him from one place to another in order to inflict serious bodily injury and commit a forcible sex offense.

The victim, identified in the warrant as a male resident of the home, was transported by EMS to ECU Health Medical Center with injuries. Officials have not released further information regarding his medical status.

Sgt. Lee Darnell of the sheriff’s office described the case as “complex and evolving,” emphasizing that it was a targeted crime and not random.

Israeli soldier confesses to murder, sexual assault in Gaza during live stream

A video shared on social media platforms has ignited widespread anger online after an Israeli soldier openly confessed to committing atrocities, including murder and rape, in the Gaza Strip during two years of genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged coastal territory.

In a live TikTok broadcast featuring American YouTuber Jeff Davidson, the soldier said, “We don’t just kill, we also rape,” alluding to acts committed by Israeli forces against women and children in Gaza.

In the live stream conversation, held during the Gaza onslaught but only made public recently, Davidson first inquired about the soldier’s identity and military connection. The individual claimed to be part of the Israeli military and broadcasting from inside Gaza.

When confronted by Davidson with the reality that the Israeli army caused the devastation in Gaza, the soldier acknowledged it without hesitation or any sign of regret.

The soldier directed the camera outward and detailed widespread devastation in the area, as the American interviewer requested him to display his surroundings.

“You wanna see Gaza? Don’t be surprised, there’s no house here. Flat, all flat,” the soldier said.

Davidson responded, “You guys flattened it?” The soldier replied: “Oh yeah.”

The discussion heated up when the soldier tried to rationalize attacking children by presenting a picture of a child with a gun, asserting he discovered it in a destroyed house.

Davidson rejected his assertion, emphasizing that children protecting themselves from an invading military can never warrant killing or attacking them. He also held the Israeli regime accountable for the dire situation in Gaza.

In a surprising turn, the soldier continued, stating, “We have killed women and children,” and coldly added: “And by the way, don’t worry…we rape them too.”

Human rights organizations have highlighted the video as strong proof of grave war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli military against Gaza civilians, asserting that backing from successive US administrations and Western allies fosters a perceived culture of impunity for such offenses.

Gaza’s Health Ministry announced on Sunday that 726 bodies have been retrieved since the ceasefire agreement with Israel came into effect on October 10 last year.

The ceasefire concluded Israel’s two-year genocide that started on October 7, 2023.

Meet the Convicted Murderers and Child Rapists Set Free by Making NC Democratic Senate Hopeful Roy Cooper’s ‘Early Release’ List

Former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper agreed to fast-track the release of 3,500 inmates as part of a racial equity settlement with the NAACP—and the list included 51 convicts serving life sentences for murder or rape, the Free Beacon’s Andrew Kerr reports. The “early release” list, obtained by Cox’s WSOC-TV as Cooper campaigns for the state’s open Senate seat, came as part of a 2021 settlement with the NAACP, which sued the state over crowded prisons during the pandemic. The NAACP claimed COVID-era prison conditions were unconstitutional and disproportionately endangered black inmates.

Cooper’s administration assured state lawmakers that nobody who “committed a crime against a person” would be released early. That didn’t happen. Among the convicts on the list was Tony D. Hartsell, who “strangled and beat the 84-year-old North Carolina woman who lived across the street from him before stabbing her 44 times, mutilating her body beyond recognition,” writes Kerr. Also included was Lorenza D. Norwood, who burned a man alive; Jervon K. Wilks, convicted of sexually abusing a 7-year-old child; and Louis E. Boyd, who raped his 12-year-old stepdaughter. All walked free after decades behind bars.

Cooper’s campaign now insists the governor had nothing to do with the releases, arguing the inmates were already parole-eligible when the settlement was reached. More than 90 percent of the 51 lifers on the list, however, were released after the settlement took effect, raising fresh questions about Cooper’s record on crime as governor of the Tar Heel State. Cooper has already faced criticism over the issue thanks to his “racial equity” task force that pushed to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes. That policy led to the release of career criminal Decarlos Brown not long before he senselessly murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway train, the Free Beacon reported.

Outrageous: Woke Judge Slashes Jury’s Recommended Sentence for Violent Sexual Predator by MORE THAN HALF Because of His Skin Color

A judge in Kentucky last week utilized woke “justice” in its most perverse form despite the horrific crime committed by the defendant.

As WHAS 11 reported on Friday, a Louisville jury on February 2 decided to recommend that 24-year-old Christopher Thompson be sentenced to 65 years in prison for several crimes, including robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, and sexual abuse.

The jury also convicted Thompson of additional charges due to his unhinged behavior in the courtroom.

Back in December 2025, the jury found Thompson guilty of a series of violent sexual assaults against innocent women while stealing their money.

Thompson was arrested back in January 2024 after DNA conclusively proved that he committed a horrific sexual crime and robbery against a female in July 2023.

Per WHAS 11, here is what this monster did to this poor woman:

LMPD said Thompson wore a ski mask and kidnapped a woman at gunpoint before forcing her to perform sexual acts in the parking lot of an elementary school.

He then drove the victim to an ATM and forced her to withdraw $220 before returning to the school to assault her again and fleeing on foot.

But Louisville judge Tracy Davis decided that such a sentence was too harsh on this demon and thought he should get a break.

She specifically referenced Thompson’s race while implying that people like him have been treated unjustly in America.

“If you were to come in here, and instead of being hurt and angry, which is what this court hears, right, as a 20-year-old African-American male that has, you know, experienced this in society,” Davis said. “And you would say, yes, this is the situation, this is who I am: I don’t want to be this person anymore. I don’t want to be in jail forever.”

“It is just a shame that you can’t look at all of these things and say, ‘As of today, February the second 2026, I want to be a different person. I want a better outcome. I want to be an asset to society,” she added.

Rape allegation against ex-Barclays CEO Jes Staley was raised in US Epstein investigation

US prosecutors reviewed allegations of rape and bodily harm against the former Barclays boss and former JP Morgan banker Jes Staley, according to newly unsealed files linked to the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Multiple documents in the Epstein files cite serious allegations of sexual misconduct against Staley, including that he forced a woman to touch his genitals during a massage before raping her, and left “bloody marks” on the arms of a woman he called “tinkerbell”.

The bulk of the allegations are revealed in what appears to be a confidential 86-page internal memo produced by prosecutors and addressed to Geoffrey S Berman, then US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. The memo, titled “Investigation into Potential Co-Conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein” and dated 19 December 2019, summarised interviews with victims, witnesses and subjects of its investigation.

There is no evidence that prosecutors decided to pursue the allegations. Staley, who has previously denied any wrongdoing, did not respond to requests for comment made over several months, either directly or via his lawyers. He has never been charged with a crime related to the allegations.

During a UK court hearing in 2025, Staley admitted to having sex with a member of Epstein’s staff in New York, but agreed with a lawyer during cross-examination that he would describe the intercourse as “consensual”.

The memo refers to one woman’s recollection of events that allegedly occurred “in or around 2011 or 2012”. It says: “Epstein instructed [redacted] to provide a massage to Jes Staley in Epstein’s New York residence. [Redacted] attempted to give him an ordinary massage, but he forced [redacted] to touch his genitals and then raped [redacted].

“Afterwards, [redacted] complained to Epstein, who said he left it to [redacted] and Staley to decide whether to engage in sex. After this incident, [redacted] began to distance herself from Epstein.”

This allegation was included in a section labelled: “Interviews of Victims Who Were Abused As Adults”.

Trans murderer sexually assaults a female prisoner after they were allowed to serve time in a women’s prison

Taxpayers have covered a secret compensation bill after a trans murderer sexually assaulted a female prisoner after he was allowed to serve time in a women’s prison. 

Killer Clinton Rintoull attacked the prisoner at Victoria’s HM Tarrengower Prison in 2022 after being transferred there from a men’s facility.

Rintoull had been moved to the minimum-security women’s prison while transitioning from male to female.

Last week, the Allan government approved a taxpayer-funded secret payout to the victim of the prison sex assault.

Following the attack, Rintoull was transferred back to the minimum-security Langi Kal Kal men’s prison farm near Ballarat.

Despite the assault, Rintoull was granted parole in 2024 and is now living in the community under a new and undisclosed identity.

The murderer had been serving a 20-year sentence for the savage 2007 killing of 19-year-old Sudanese refugee Liep Gony.

Rintoull and co-accused Dylan Sabatino beat Mr Gony to death, with Rintoull telling others beforehand he was ‘going to take the town back by killing blacks’.

However, the murder was found to be ‘not racially motivated’ despite Rintoull spraying racist graffiti in a flat which read ‘F*** da n***as’.

Rintoull was spotted carrying a pole and making threatening remarks which were heard by a neighbour.

‘These blacks are turning the town into the Bronx. I am looking to take my town back. I’m going to kill the blacks,’ Rintoull said.

Former Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Curtain described Mr Gony’s bashing as ‘vicious, brutal and unprovoked’.

Rintoull was handed a minimum 16-year term, which he commenced in a male prison before he was shifted to Tarrengower near Maldon in Victoria’s west.

The bombshell development came after it was reported Corrections Victoria last month updated its policies for the placement of transgender prisoners to ‘allow them less say over where they are held in custody’.

It’s understood senior Labor figures pushed for a tougher crackdown, including a blanket ban on any male-born transgender killers or sex offenders being housed in female prisons.

Senior government sources said the blanket ban plan will be reignited amid revelations of Rintoull’s offending.

Outrage as ex-UCLA doctor imprisoned for sexually abusing patients has conviction overturned because juror barely spoke English

Say what?

An appeals court overturned the conviction of a disgraced former UCLA gynecologist serving 11 years in prison for sexually abusing patients, after determining the trial judge failed to disclose that jurors had concerns that one of their own barely spoke English.

James Heaps, 69, will be retried on the charges involving the two patients he was convicted of abusing in 2022, a three-judge panel of the California 2nd District Court of Appeal ordered on Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported.

John Manly, who represented more than 200 former Heaps patients in a lawsuit that resulted in a $243.6 million settlement, said the decision to toss the conviction is “an indictment of California’s criminal justice system which allows criminals to threaten public safety and prey upon the most vulnerable.’’

“These brave survivors suffered through a four-year ordeal of prosecution and trial resulting in an 11-year prison sentence for this monster. Now they are being told that they must start over. And why?” the attorney raged.

“Because California has produced laws, policies and some prosecutors and judges who defend the rights of criminals and throw victims to the wolves.”

Tennessee Releases Staggering Stats on Migrant Crime

The office of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference has released its annual state immigration report revealing that in 2025, illegal migrants committed 2,183 violent offenses, including 41 homicides, 145 sexual offenses, 11 child rapes, and more.

Republican State Rep. Dan Howell said he was shocked by the report and called the data “really, really bad.”

“These are the criminals liberals want to defend while trying to defund ICE,” he pointed out.

“Forty-one Tennesseeans are dead at the hands of illegal immigrants and hundreds raped. This will not be tolerated in this great state and we will do more to keep you safe,” Howell added. (emphasis original)

The “2025 Immigration Report” released on January 30 is a required (TN Code § 4-1-425 2024) annual report from the state’s district attorneys general conference. The law directs them to “collect and analyze data from law enforcement agencies on the number of persons not lawfully present in the United States charged or convicted of a criminal offense in this state during the previous year.”

The crime statistics in the report come from data collected from the “Public Chapter 1008: Arrestee Citizenship Status – Not Lawfully Present or Unknown” forms created by the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference. Police in Tennessee are required to fill out these forms after arresting a noncitizen.

The report found that a total of 21,648 charges were filed against illegal migrants among 11,344 cases between January 1 and December 31 of 2025, averaging nearly 1000 reports per month. However, there are likely even more because one county (Bledsoe) did not submit its data in time for the report to be filed.

Migrants representing a total of 119 different countries were cited in the reports where country of origin was obtainable.

The categories of crimes revealed a shocking toll suffered by the state’s citizens at the hands of illegal migrants.

Among the categories of crime, the report includes:

  • 2,183 violent offenses
  • 41 homicides
  • 1,592 assaults
  • 145 sexual offenses
  • 11 child rapes
  • 40 aggravated kidnappings
  • 2,920 DUIs
  • 5,318 cases of driving without a license or on suspended/or revoked
  • 966 Carjackings
  • 36 Felony firearms offenses
  • 66 Assaults on police or first responders

The “2025 Immigration Report” is now the second such report in compliance with the state law. The 2024 report, the first of its kind, collected data from only 73 of the state’s 95 counties and found that 2,719 non-citizens had been charged with crimes.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Accused of Rape and Strangulation After Sanctuary New York City Set Him Free

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien whose rap sheet includes arrests for rape and strangulation after a Democrat judge in sanctuary New York City set him free on drug charges.

On Monday, ICE officials announced the arrest of illegal alien Gerardo Miguel-Mora of Mexico in New York City. Miguel-Mora had most recently been arrested on larceny and criminal possession of stolen property charges.

Last week, Judge Sheridan Jack-Browne (D) in Brooklyn allowed Miguel-Mora to be released from jail despite ICE lodging a detainer against him so that he would not be released back into the community.

“These are the types of public safety threats New York Governor Hochul and Mayor Mamdani are releasing from their jails onto the streets to perpetrate more crimes and create more victims,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

Miguel-Mora’s criminal record in the United States dates back over a decade. In 2011, Miguel-Mora was arrested for rape, strangulation, assault, forcible touching, burglary, and disorderly conduct in New York City.

The following year, Miguel-Mora was convicted of burglary by the New York State Supreme Court and sentenced to three and a half years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release. Miguel-Mora served just a handful of months in prison before being deported to his native Mexico.
