China’s cyber-abuse scandal: is the government unwilling to crack down on exploitation of women online?

When Ming* found a hidden camera in her bedroom, she prayed for a reasonable explanation, wondering whether her boyfriend had placed it there to record memories of their “happy life” together. But hope quickly turned to horror. Ming’s boyfriend had been secretly taking sexually exploitative photos of not just Ming and her female friends, but also of other women in other locations, then using AI technology to generate pornographic images of them.

After Ming confronted him, he “begged for mercy” but became angry when she refused to forgive him, Ming reportedly told Chinese news outlet Jimu News.

Ming is just one of many women in China who have been covertly photographed or filmed – both in private and public spaces, including toilets – by voyeurs who have then circulated or sold the images online without consent. The sexually explicit pictures – often taken using pinhole cameras hidden in ordinary objects – are then shared online in massive groups.

The scandal has left China reeling and raised questions about the government’s ability – and willingness – to crack down on such behaviour.

Police Accused of Covering Up Alleged Asylum Seeker Child Rape for Fear of ‘Inflaming Community Tensions’

Police have been accused of covering up that two supposed asylum seekers from Afghanistan were charged with allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl in the West Midlands town of Nuneaton.

According to a report from the Mail on Sunday, Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged with allegedly raping the 12-year-old girl last month after entering the country illegally on a small boat across the English Channel. Meanwhile, fellow Afghan Mohammad Kabir, 23, was reportedly charged with kidnapping, strangulation, and aiding and abetting the rape of the same girl, who remains in specialist care.

However, according to the report, police told local officials to withhold information from the public about their identities, including that the two men were asylum seekers. The police are said to have warned about the possibility of “inflaming community tensions” should the public be told the truth.

The MoS went on to report that Mulakhil and Kabir were both living in asylum seeker properties managed by the controversial Serco contractor, which runs the £2 billion hotel migrant scheme for the government.

The Warwickshire Police defended not releasing the immigration status of the two men by saying: “Where relevant, sensitive information around locations, details of the crime and policing activity to catch offenders can be shared, with a warning that this is sensitive or confidential information and disclosure by those being briefed could affect future court hearings.”

However, local councillor leader George Finch, of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, warned that the “cover-up” could stoke local tensions more than the truth itself.

In a letter to the Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Finch demanded the publication of the immigration status of the two suspects and for the government to shut down all asylum accommodations in the county.

Imam ‘Marriage Counselling’ for Underage Girls, Polygamy Spreading in Berlin Amid Islamist Immigration, Says Integration Officer

Multicultural neighbourhoods in Berlin are now home to Islamic imams giving marriage counselling to underage girls following a mass influx of Palestinians and other hardline Muslim migrants, an integration officer has claimed.

Güner Balci, a Turkish-born integration officer for the Berlin borough of Neukölln, told news magazine Der Spiegel that she has moved out of the neighbourhood where she grew up in the German capital so that her “daughter could develop freely” after the area became a hotbed for Islamism.

Balci said that when she grew up in Neukölln, there was only one mosque, but now around 30 are located in the area, many of which she claimed preach adherence to hardline Islam.

“I know of imams who offer marriage counselling for 14-year-old girls and find it acceptable for a man to take a second wife. If you look behind the structures, you quickly see: Ah, one mosque is financed from Qatar, the other has connections to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and so on,” she told the paper.

Balci, who is tasked with helping migrants integrate into Berlin society, said that while Neukölln was never “particularly woman-friendly”, the area has seen “culturally and religiously determined gender separation” be established and enforced by clan criminals and radical imams.

She said that it “began with the influx of Palestinian families from Lebanon” in the 1980s and has only continued to grow since.

“They brought with them a very patriarchal culture. The girls in this milieu were almost invisible; you actually only saw them when they took their younger siblings to kindergarten or went shopping with their mothers,” Balci said.

Trantifa city council member facing recall over indecent exposure charges during topless protest now running for mayor of Stevenson, WA

A left-wing trans-identified city council member who was arrested for indecent exposure while protesting topless in Stevenson, Washington earlier this year has announced a run for mayor. At the same time, the official is facing a recall campaign in the wake of the arrest.

Lucy Lauser, a city council member in Stevenson, Washington, is running for mayor in the Democrat primary set for August 5. Archives of Lauser’s social media profile link the official to Antifa, who has talked about treating Republicans as “Nazis.”

In April when Lauser protested topless, police wrote in their report that the they were tipped off by someone who said “a ‘female protester’ was standing on the sidewalk exposing her ‘chest'” in public, and that when police approached Lauser, the official claimed that displaying the “breasts as an act of protesting was not considered obscene.”

“Lauser advised she was expressing her First Amendment Right by exposing her breasts,” the report at the time added.

Lauser has said of the mayoral campaign, per KREM2, that inspiration for political office came from Stu Rasmussen, who was the former mayor of Silverton, Oregon, as well as the first openly transgender mayor in America.

“It kind of changed what I thought was possible for myself,” Lauser said. “It was the first time I’d ever seen someone like me not presented as a monster or a joke, but as someone in a position of respect.”

After the earlier topless indecent in April, Lauer once again protested topless, only this time using small pieces of tape to cover up on July 4. Lauser was later arrested and then released after posting bond and was charged with indecent exposure.

“I couldn’t think of a better method of protesting the president calling me a man than taking off my shirt and getting arrested for it,” Lauser said.

DOJ Files Memorandum in Case to Unseal Epstein and Maxwell Grand Jury Testimony and a Look Into the Cases Cited to Justify Their Release

Yesterday, the Department of Justice filed a Memorandum in Support of Motion regarding the request to unseal the grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s cases in the Southern District of New York.

On July 17th, President Trump posted to Truth Social that he called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce “any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.”  Bondi filed motions in both the case in Florida from 2008, which has already been denied, followed by the Southern District of New York (SDNY) for both the Epstein case (2019) and the Maxwell case (2021).

Grand jury transcripts are usually held in the utmost confidence, however, in 1997, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the lower court in the SDNY decision denying the unsealing of the grand jury information. The Second Circuit held that “there are certain ‘special circumstances’ in which release of grand jury records is appropriate even outside the boundaries of the rule.”

In the Second Circuit’s ruling, it enumerated a list of “non-exhaustive factors for trial courts to consider when deciding such motions”:

(i) the identity of the party seeking disclosure; (ii) whether the defendant to the grand jury proceeding or the government opposes the disclosure; (iii) why disclosure is being sought in the particular case; (iv) what specific information is being sought for disclosure; (v) how long ago the grand jury proceedings took place; (vi) the current status of the principals of the grand jury proceedings and that of their families; (vii) the extent to which the desired material— either permissibly or impermissibly—has been previously made public; (viii) whether witnesses to the grand jury proceedings who might be affected by disclosure are still alive; and (ix) the additional need for maintaining secrecy in the particular case in question.

In the memorandum filed, the DOJ was asked to “address with specificity these and other factors that the Government views as germane to its application.”  The Court also asked whether “before filing the instant motion, counsel for the Government reviewed the Maxwell grand jury transcripts” and whether they provided notice to the victims.

The Court also asked the DOJ to submit indices of the grand jury material, two complete sets of both the Maxwell and Epstein grand jury transcripts (redacted and unredacted versions), and a description of the grand jury materials, including exhibits.

New Epstein Prison Video Investigation Uncovers Irregularities: Cursor Activity and Orange Object Detected

A new investigation into the Epstein prison video released by the Department of Justice reveals several discrepancies.

Recall that it was Jason Sullivan at The Gateway Pundit who first reported on the missing minute in the video that was released to the public.

CBS News’ investigative report revealed that video forensic analysis revealed several major irregularities in the DOJ’s 10-hour and 52-minute Epstein prison video.

One irregularity that has debunked the DOJ claims was that a cursor was spotted moving around in the video around 11:24 p.m.

Previously, the DOJ stated they released “raw footage” of inside the cell block where Epstein was jailed, but video forensic experts claim the cursor’s appearance shows signs the video was a screen recording rather than a raw upload from a DVR system.

Another irregularity pointed out by CBS revealed that around 10:40 p.m., a person wearing what appears to be an orange shirt was seen moving toward Epstein’s cell.

The DOJ previously claimed the person in the orange shirt was a corrections officer, but the person in the orange shirt is more likely an inmate, considering prisoners at the special housing unit at the Metropolitan Correctional Center are mandated to wear orange jumpsuits.

Homosexual who fundraised to get baby through surrogacy exposed as pedophile

Logan Riley and Brandon Keith Mitchell of Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, made a big show of their efforts to secure custody of a baby boy through surrogacy.

Although they apparently started the process in 2019, the homosexual couple began hitting up strangers for cash in 2020 on GoFundMe to help expand their “family by using a gestational surrogate.”

A Nov. 3, 2023, update on their now-deleted fundraising page stated: “Since our last post, we successfully created four embryos through an egg donor program in 2020. After three long years of searching, a family friend … reached out in early 2023 to see if we were still looking. After multiple conversations and a great connection with her family, we decided to proceed.”

The couple recently shared a compilation video on social media featuring them repeatedly kissing a baby boy reportedly in their custody.

The video was subsequently reshared on X by critics concerned about the boy’s well-being as well as about homosexual adoption in general. Despite accusations of bigotry, it turns out that the critics were right to worry, as the boy is now allegedly in the custody of a registered sex offender.

State documents indicate that Mitchell, age 30 at the time, was arrested and charged in early February 2016 with three felony counts of possession of child pornography; endangering the welfare of children; corruption of a minor; felony sexual abuse of a minor; and felony photographing/videotaping sexual acts in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Trump’s Justice Department Takes Down Dark Web Child Abuse Network — 120,000 Users, Millions of Files in Operation Grayskull

In one of the most aggressive and successful anti-child exploitation crackdowns in U.S. history, President Trump’s Justice Department has revealed the results of Operation Grayskull, a sweeping, international strike that dismantled four high-traffic dark web platforms trafficking violent child sexual abuse materials, exposing a digital cesspool that included over 120,000 registered users and millions of illicit files.

To date, 18 individuals have been convicted in federal court, receiving a combined 300+ years in prison.

The Justice Department detailed how Thomas Peter Katsampes, 52, of Minnesota, became a staff member on one of these despicable sites, personally distributing CSAM, guiding others on how to do so, and helping manage operations. He was sentenced to over 20 years in prison, lifetime supervision, and forced to pay restitution to his victims.

But he was only one of many.

Among the 18 convicted predators:

  • William Michael Spearman of Alabama was sentenced to life in prison for his role in a child exploitation enterprise.
  • Joseph Addison Martin of Washington got 42 years.
  • Keith David McIntosh of Michigan was sentenced to a staggering 55 years, with a prior conviction on record.
  • Selwyn David Rosenstein of Florida was handed 28 years and a six-figure restitution order for his crimes.

Each of these individuals was found guilty of actively operating or contributing to some of the darkest, most vile content imaginable, and doing so in a highly coordinated and secretive online network.

Resurfaced clip shows Epstein pleading the Fifth when asked if he was with Trump around underage girls

A resurfaced clip shows sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pleading the Fifth when he was asked during a deposition if he ever socialized with underage girls around Donald Trump.

The video clip, unearthed by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, shows Epstein responding to questions during a March 2010 deposition. The disgraced financier was questioned by an attorney of an alleged victim, Vice News previously reported.

In the clip, the attorney asks: “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?”

Epstein replied: “Though l’d like to answer that question, at least today l’m going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.”

Trump has never been accused of any crime in connection with the Epstein investigation and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Pleading the Fifth refers to invoking the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not self-incriminate.

Son of Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Sentenced to 7 Years For Child P*rn

Oran Routh, son of would-be assassin Ryan Routh who was arrested last year for child pornography, was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

“On Friday morning, Oran Routh appeared in federal court for sentencing for a count of possessing child pornography of a child under the age of 12. He pleaded guilty to this charge in exchange for his other charges, which included multiple counts of possessing and transporting child pornography, being dismissed,” WGHP reported.

“The judge sentenced him to 7 years in prison with 5 years of supervised probation,” the outlet reported.

Oran Routh was taken into custody after investigators found hundreds of child porn files on his Galaxy Note during a search of his North Carolina residence last year.

“A review of the SD card located in Device-1 revealed that it contained hundreds of child pornography files,” prosecutors wrote in the criminal complaint, according to ABC News. “These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina.”

Oran previously spoke with the Daily Mail about his father.

Ryan Routh is currently in federal custody on charges of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate and other firearms violations.

“My dad hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” He even went so far as to say, “I don’t like Trump either,” but in the next breath tried to downplay his father’s actions, claiming, “He’s not a violent person.”

“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know… That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him.”

“He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii,” Oran said.

The father and son had reportedly had a “falling out,” though Oran declined to elaborate on the reasons.

“I didn’t ask him for more information because we’ve had a falling out. We’ve grown apart.”

Despite their distance, Oran insisted, “He’s not a violent person. He’s a hard worker and a great dad. He’s a great dude, a nice guy and has worked his whole f***king life.”
