NYC Wikipedia conference halted when ‘non-offending pedophile’ storms stage, points gun at own head

A Wikipedia conference in Manhattan descended into chaos Friday morning when an unhinged Ohio man jumped on stage and pointed a gun at his own head.

Connor Weston, 27, allegedly clutched the loaded revolver as he declared, “I’m a non-contact pedophile. I want to kill myself” — prompting WikiConference staff to quickly tackle and disarm him before cops took him into custody, sources said.

“It was just adrenaline,” said one of the staffers who stopped the gunman.  “Since you’re on the trust and safety team you’re expected to do this . . . we’re not used to loaded weapons in the same room . . . we’re used to more prank behavior.” 

Weston — who wore a multicolored banner draped over his shoulders and a sign around his neck with the words “ANTI-CONTACT NON-OFFENDING PEDOPHILE” — was detained at the conference, which was hosted at Union Square’s Civic Hall on East 14th Street near Irving Place, sources said. 

“I think we handled it pretty well considering this was not an expected thing,” the worker who helped stop the incident added. “We’re expected to do that for every event but in a place like NYC you’re going to have more people and more chance of it.”

Prince Andrew gives up royal title with King Charles’ support

Prince Andrew has relinquished his royal title.

“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” a statement released by the royal, and obtained by Fox News Digital, read. “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.”

“With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further,” the statement continued. “I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Men charged with sex crimes in three states get in girls’ locker rooms by invoking gender identity

The deep-blue suburbs of Washington, D.C., have surprising company among areas where men charged with sex offenses have been reportedly granted access to government-owned girls’ locker rooms based on gender identity: a Republican-trending Wisconsin metro between Milwaukee and Chicago.

Case High School Aquatic Center staff invoked Racine Unified School District’s gender-identity policy to justify letting 64-year-old Rohan de Silva use the girls’ locker room, a pool user allegedly told a local activist with Moms for Liberty, which previously sued the district to block its implementation of the Biden administration’s gender-identity regulations.

RUSD’s Administrative Regulation 5145.4 on its face does not apply to adults, however, only granting opposite-sex locker room access to “students who are transgender and students who do not conform to gender role stereotypes.”

Registered sex offender Richard Kenneth Cox, by contrast, used adult-inclusive policies in Arlington and Fairfax counties in Virginia to enter female facilities and get near children. 

Arlington is prosecuting 58-year-old Cox, who identifies as a woman, for exposing himself in high school girls’ locker rooms during community pool hours. A mother testified Cox masturbated in front of her daughter, and a detective said he had children’s swim schedules for Fairfax County Public Schools and child pornography on his phone.

A public records request by Defending Education revealed that Cox, who goes by “Riki,” complained to Arlington School Board member Kathleen Clark in 2024 that pool staff had asked him to use a single-use facility, treating him like “some kind of freak,” in Cox’s words.

“Inconceivably, after these email exchanges, Cox went on to expose himself six more times before his ultimate arrest,” Defending Education said.

Spanberger Won’t Condemn School Board Member For Sympathetic Emails To Sex Offender Using Girls’ Bathroom

If you want to see Democrat Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger dance, ask her opinion about allowing men in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams. She has been tap-dancing around a straight answer for weeks. In a recent debate, when pressed, she said the decision is up to individuals and school districts.

A political gift in the news should have made it much easier for Spanberger to find clarity.  

An Arlington School Board allowed a sex offender to shower and dress in the girls’ pool locker room last year, WJLA TV’s Nick Minock reported on Thursday. As with many public schools, the pool and facilities are open to the public outside school hours. He also revealed that a current Arlington School Board member, when running for her school board position, had an empathetic email exchange with a male sex offender who used girls’ spaces at Arlington schools.

The Federalist asked Spanberger in an email if she supports trans-identifying, male sex offenders showering with young girls? And does she condemn the sympathetic emails between the sex offender and a school board member candidate?

Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears knows her position and is not ashamed to say it out loud: “Girls are girls, and boys are boys.” She will support policies that promote the separation of the sexes in sports and private areas.

This Democrat Lawmaker Was Just Arrested for Sexually Abusing a Minor

North Carolina state Rep. Cecil Brockman was arrested on Wednesday and is facing multiple felony counts related to sexually abusing a 15-year-old child.

Brockman, a Democrat serving his sixth term in the state House, is accused of engaging in a sexual act with a minor on August 15, according to BPR. 

The records say that Brockman, 41, engaged in a sexual act with a 15-year-old. He faces two counts each of indecent liberties with a child and statutory rape of a child who is 15 years old or younger.

A magistrate’s order denying Brockman bond in the case says he is a state representative and has “attempted to use his status to gain information on the whereabouts of the victim.”

The order also says that Brockman made attempts to contact the juvenile victim, including in the hospital.

The lawmaker is being held in the High Point Jail and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday.

Grown Minnesota man who posed as high schooler accused of sexually assaulting students

A 22-year-old man who allegedly used a fake identity to pose as a student at a Minnesota high school has been accused of sexually assaulting his teen classmates, according to authorities.

Multiple parents have alleged that Kelvin Luebke sexually assaulted students while posing as a senior at White Bear Lake High School, according to a search warrant application obtained by KARE11.

White Bear Lake police applied for a search warrant on Monday to look through Leubke’s phone in response to the alarming allegations, the outlet reported.

A school resource officer is also investigating a claim that Leubke received nude photos from a female student, according to the filing.

Multiple juvenile girls have reported to cops that the high school wannabee had been texting and messaging them on social media, authorities added.

Leubke was arrested last month on an unrelated warrant and sprung free from Washington County Jail, Fox9 reported.

A parent had reported that her daughter saw Luebke’s mugshot online and recognized him as a fellow student she knew as “K.P.,” the document said. The parent then alerted the school.

Leubke has not yet been formally charged in connection with the sexual assault allegations.

North Carolina Transgender School Bus Driver Called ‘Ms. Sharon’ Accused of Child Sex Crimes

A transgender school bus driver in Charlotte, North Carolina, is accused of sexually assaulting several 14- and 15-year-old boys.

The suspect was arrested Tuesday and identified as 48-year-old Leetwain Darrell Tate, who goes by the name of “Ms. Sharon,” the New York Post reported Sunday.

Authorities said he is accused of assaulting at least four teenage boys. Tate was charged with two counts of statutory rape and six counts of indecent liberties with a minor.

An image shows the suspect who appears to be dressed like a woman.

The man is accused of luring the boys to his home where they stayed with him. One of the victims claimed the suspect offered him money for sex.

“Tate was employed as a school bus driver for Sugar Creek Charter School in Charlotte. He was initially suspended while the investigation was underway and was officially terminated on September 30, according to WCCB. Authorities emphasized that none of the alleged crimes occurred on school property or during Tate’s bus routes,” according to a KTSA report.

Court records said the man is being held on a $1 million secured bond, WCBD reported. The outlet also said police were called to the area of Peachtree Road and Corvis Road in early September once a parent learned her child had allegedly been sexually assaulted.

Israeli Official Who Fled US After Pedo Sting Indicted; Trump DHS Appointee Is His Lawyer

A senior official in Israel’s cybersecurity agency who was arrested in a child sex sting in August has been indicted by a Clark County grand jury on Friday, six weeks after he was mysteriously allowed to flee the United States back to Israel.

Tom Alexandrovich, who helps guide Israel’s cybersecurity policy, was representing Israel at Black Hat USA, a professional conference in Las Vegas, when he was one of seven people swept up in a major, multi-agency sting operation targeting pedophiles soliciting sex acts with minors. According to court records, on Aug 6, the 38-year-old Alexandrovich allegedly committed the felony offense of using computer technology in an attempt to lure a child into sexual abuse. That particular crime encompasses children under 16. The next day, he posted a $10,000 bond at the Henderson Detention Center and fled the fucking country. 

Online court records show that Alexandrovich is expected to appear on Oct. 15 for an initial arraignment, and is being represented by Las Vegas-based defense attorney David Chesnoff – who President Trump appointed to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. 

Why is an alleged Israeli high-level government pedophile being represented by a Trump nominee? Chesnoff also represented an Israeli dual citizen who pleaded guilty to lying about the Bidens taking a $5 million bribe from Burisma. Really weird.

Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris pleads guilty to child sex crimes

Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris pleaded guilty in an Oklahoma court on Oct. 2 to sex crimes against a girl that started in 1982 and continued for years.

Morris, 64, entered guilty pleas to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child in an Osage County courtroom. He will serve six months in the Osage County jail and then be on probation for nine years and six months, according to a plea agreement outlined by Oklahoma Attorney General Getner Drummond in a news release.

He also must register as a sex offender and pay $270,000 in restitution to the victim, Cindy Clemishire, who in court called him “a pedophile, disguised as a preacher.” Morris did not apologize in court.Robert Morris’ indictment: Here’s a timeline of the events

Osage County Special Judge Cindy Pickerill accepted the deal after Clemshire acknowledged she had been consulted about it and was in agreement with the punishment.

The probation is considered a suspended sentence under the plea agreement, which means Morris is now a convicted felon. He could go to prison if he violates the conditions of his probation.

“This case is all the more despicable because the perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position of trust and authority,” Drummond said in the news release. “The victim in this case has waited far too many years for this day.”

Spanberger Refuses To Condemn Male Sex Offender Using Girls’ Locker Rooms

Virginia’s Fairfax County claims there is no “probable cause” to charge Richard Cox, a Tier III registered sex offender, for allegedly exposing himself to women and girls.

Fairfax County’s refusal to charge Cox comes despite an Arlington detective’s testimony that Cox was in possession of child pornography and Fairfax County children’s swim class schedules, Cox’s previous alleged admission of his own compulsions to expose himself, and witnesses claiming that he exposed himself to women and girls in Fairfax County recreation centers’ locker rooms, ABC 7 News’ Nick Minock reported.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat candidate for governor in Virginia, did not respond to The Federalist’s inquiry asking whether she believes it is appropriate for males to have access to sensitive female spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms, and whether she supports allowing men like Cox to use their supposed “transgender” identities to access sensitive women’s and children’s spaces. Spanberger has previously refused to condemn men’s access to sensitive women’s spaces, as reported by The Federalist.

In a statement Friday, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares explained that Cox’s status as a sex offender extends back to the 1990s, and that he was convicted on child pornography charges in 2006. Since then, Miyares noted, Cox has taken advantage of Virginia law that allowed him to change his driver’s license sex description to female, letting him exploit his claimed “transgender” identity and access to female spaces where he allegedly repeatedly exposed himself to women. Cox appealed to this so-called identity in a preliminary hearing in Arlington County Thursday, repeatedly claiming to be a woman and complaining that he was being “misgendered.”

The Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney’s Office “declined to participate in the prosecution of Cox” over a 2024 indecent exposure charge that was eventually dismissed, Miyares said, nor would it prosecute his reported presence near an indoor children’s playground, in violation of his status as a registered sex offender. Miyares attributed Cox’s alleged exposure of himself at an Arlington County high school — testified to in an Arlington County hearing — and other incidents to Fairfax County’s failure to prosecute Cox.
