London Police Accused of Letting Algerian Attempted Rapist Walk Free After Being Caught ‘Red Handed’ Near Buckingham Palace

London’s Metropolitan Police officers have been accused by a judge of letting an attempted rapist go after being caught “red-handed” outside Buckingham Palace, the trial of the migrant has revealed.

In the early morning of Sept 7, 2024, Algerian migrant Ramzi Barkat, 54, came upon a woman in St James’s Park, attempted to flirt with her, and when he was shot down, tackled and “straddled” her while holding down her wrists.

Fortunately for the woman, three nearby soldiers heard her screams and prevented Barkat from going further.

However, despite the apparent risk he posed to the public, police chose to release the Algerian migrant on bail or under investigation after the victim was interviewed, The Telegraph reported.

Judge Justin Cole of the Southwark Crown Court accused the police of a “catalogue of incompetencies” during the incident.

“He was simply let go in a situation in which frankly he had been caught red-handed and presented a continuing danger to the public,” Judge Cole said.

“The bottom line is this man was set free for a period of a year, a year to do what he likes, in a situation where he had attacked a lone female in a park. The public would be appalled to hear of such laxity.”

“The public would be appalled to hear of such laxity.”

The revelations came during this week’s sentencing hearing for Barkat, who was jailed for seven years and three months on Friday. Judge Coles said that Barkat “sought to take advantage of a lone vulnerable woman” and “acted like a predator”.

In addition to being found guilty of attempted rape, Barkat was also found guilty of assaulting one of the soldiers who prevented the rape, The Independent reported.

The Algerian migrant had claimed that he was merely attempting to steal the woman’s phone. On top of his prison sentence, he received a 10-year restraining order and a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

ICC Prosecutor Who Sought Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu Over Crimes Against Humanity Found Guilty of Predatory Sexual Misconduct

The International Criminal Court’s own internal oversight body has just exposed its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, as a sexual harasser who abused his power over a junior female subordinate.

A 21-member bureau investigating the allegations concluded that Khan engaged in sexual activity with the junior staffer, constituting sexual harassment, and abused his authority in the process.

He pressured her into sex amid a blatant power imbalance. Khan later tried to dissuade her from pursuing misconduct claims against him.

UN investigators laid out the disgusting details: “He would grab and paw at her breasts, try to access her pelvic area, and suck on her neck,” i24 News reported.

Khan never clearly denied the sexual relationship despite being given 30 opportunities to do so during the UN probe. His main concern at the time? Whether the woman might have made recordings implicating him.

Only after it became clear no recordings existed did he offer denials, which the report slammed as “devoid of credibility.” At least two-thirds of the bureau members found his credibility utterly lacking.

IRONY: One of the DSA Activists Who Recruited Graham Platner to Run for Senate Has ALSO Faced Sexual Misconduct Complaints

As the Gateway Pundit has reported, Graham Platner did not just decide to run for U.S. Senate, he was recruited by a pair of Ivy League educated DSA activists who were looking specifically for someone with a blue collar image.

Now that Platner has dropped out of the race over allegations of sexual assault and rape, it is comiing to light that one of the activists who recruited him has also faced complaints about sexual misconduct. You couldn’t make this up.

Daniel Moraff is the grandson of the founder of Toys R Us. In 2022, he was barred from the campaign of Summer Lee after other volunteers and staffers complained about unwanted sexual advances.

The New York Post reports:

Graham Platner strategist who recruited disgraced Senate candidate also an accused sex pest

One half of the champagne socialist duo who recruited and failed to properly vet accused rapist Graham Platner was reportedly booted from a previous congressional campaign due to sexual misconduct accusations from at least three women.

Yale Law-educated Daniel Moraff, 31, the grandson of one of the Toys “R” Us founders, worked on the campaign to elect far-left “Squad” Rep. Summer Lee to Congress in Pennsylvania in 2022, after leading efforts to recruit her a few years before to run in state politics in Pittsburgh.

But he was quickly barred from campaign events and speaking to staffers after Lee received multiple sexual harassment complaints against him, according to labor publication Payday Report.

“Birds of a feather flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators,” said one of the unnamed women who claims she was sexually harassed by Moraff during Lee’s 2022 campaign.

“He doesn’t have boundaries with women, nor much of an ethical code,” said one woman who complained of his sexual misconduct in Pittsburgh, adding she wasn’t surprised Moraff backed Platner, who dropped out of the Maine Senate race this week after a woman accused him of raping her while he was drunk.

Between this and the utter implosion of Graham Platner as a candidate, it is probably safe to assume that Daniel Moraff’s future as a political operative is pretty much over.

REPORT: 3 California School Districts Suspected of Shielding Teachers From Sexual Abuse Allegations as Feds Launch Nationwide Probe

Two California school districts, suspected of protecting sexual predators and allowing them to teach, received letters from the Trump Department of Education on Friday in a national crackdown on schools sweeping sexual abuse allegations under the rug. 

The letters were sent to the Tulare City Unified School District and Wilsona School District.

The New York Post reports that Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent letters to school districts across the country, reminding them that federal law requires them to investigate allegations and prevent teachers accused of abuse from quietly moving to another school.

The Los Angeles Unified School District was already under scrutiny for reassigning teachers to different schools under an agreement with the teachers’ union.

This comes as the Education Department plans to launch a new initiative with 20 civil rights investigations into school districts that failed in their duty to address sexual misconduct by school employees, according to the Post.

California is believed to be one of the biggest offenders, with at least three school districts at risk of losing $50 million in federal funding.

Per the New York Post:

Tulare City Unified School District and Wilsona School District, located in Palmdale, were two of the districts warned under federal law to promptly investigate allegations of sexual abuse and harassment and block suspected predators from quietly moving to other schools — a practice known as “passing the trash.”

“Our schools must protect America’s children. Parents should never have to wonder whether their kids’ school employs and protects sexual predators,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said.

“Schools that receive federal funding have a duty to protect students, report sexual misconduct honestly, and follow the law.”

Los Angeles Unified School District has already been investigated over rules that allegedly shielded predatory teachers. An agreement between the school district and the teachers’ union guaranteed teachers accused of certain serious misconduct are reassigned — rather than immediately terminated or removed from student-facing positions — while investigations are pending.

Investigations are also targeting three school districts in Georgia and three in Michigan, as well as districts across 12 other states.

How a Member of a Powerful Utah Family Escaped a Federal Trafficking Investigation and Reinvented Himself as an Instagram Influencer

Former Utah County Attorney David Leavitt has outrun accusations of an illegal adoption and ritualistic child abuse after attorneys within US Homeland Security Investigations shuttered an investigation into his actions.

In an exclusive interview with The Last American Vagabond, a former Homeland Security Investigations analyst reveals how he was targeted by the US government for pursuing an investigation into a powerful Utah politician following a controversial adoption of a Native American baby.

The analyst said that he and his colleague were sidelined after attempting to subpoena the Mormon Church’s internal hotline for reporting sexual abuse as part of their investigation. The federal government would eventually turn its focus to him after he questioned why charges had not been filed, despite an admission of guilt by the suspect.

“They spent $2 million investigating, and they couldn’t even arrest me. They got into my phone, my iCloud, and still couldn’t find anything to arrest me on,” the analyst told The Last American Vagabond (TLAV) over the phone. “This was under Biden… signed off on by Secretary Mayorkas.”

Alejandro Mayorkas served as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security under former US President Joe Biden.

The analyst requested anonymity to speak freely on his role in the investigation. TLAV has independently verified the claims made by him.

Ritualistic Child Sexual Abuse

This saga begins with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office (UCSO) May 31, 2022, announcement that an investigation into “ritualistic child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking” in Utah County had begun in April 2021.

The UCSO statement noted that “multiple county and federal agencies are investigating reports of ritualistic child sexual abuse from as far back as 1990.” The investigation subsequently discovered previous reports alleging “similar forms of ritualistic sexual abuse and trafficking” that occurred in Utah County, Juab County, and Sanpete County during the time between 1990 and 2010.

In September 2022, former therapist David Hamblin was the first suspect to be arrested and charged by the UCSO for multiple first-degree felony sexual offenses against a child. He was booked for three counts of sodomy of a child, one count of rape of a child, two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, and one misdemeanor count of lewdness involving a child. His ex-wife, Roselle Stevenson, was later arrested on similar charges.

HORROR: Illegal Alien Who Entered US on Biden’s Open Border Invitation Snatches Special Needs Child From Her Bicycle, Sexually Assaults Her

Sanctuary policies in Democrat-run states are dangerous and deadly.

The violent assault occurred last week in Pingree Grove, Illinois.

According to Border Hawk News, the suspect, Janio Gionel Velasquez-Muro, illegally entered the US from Venezuela in 2022.

Janio Gionel Velasquez-Muro grabbed the little girl as she was riding her bicycle, shoved her into a car, and sexually assaulted her.

Records reviewed by Border Hawk News reveal the victim has severe and profound intellectual disabilities.

Velasquez-Muro fled the scene but he was later arrested by law enforcement.

Canadian court says deaf man, 34, accused of child sex offenses is free to rape and murder because he has never been taught to communicate and thus cannot fairly be tried

A deaf man who was never taught to communicate cannot be fairly tried in court over accusations of child sex offences because it would violate his rights, a Canadian court says. 

Kendal Longclaws, 34, faced eight sexual offences after three complaints in 2021, but his inability to communicate spared him from trial and possible prosecution. 

Longclaws, of the Ermineskin Cree Nation, south of Edmonton, grew up on an isolated farm. He was left unable to read, use a phone, understand a calendar or utter more than a few words.

When he was accused of sexual crimes, including sexual interference and sexual assault, he was unaware of what was happening, the National Post reported. 

Two of his alleged victims were said to have been attacked between 2012 and 2016, with the third in 2021. Some of Longclaws’ alleged victims were children, according to the outlet. 

Due to his inability to communicate and understand his charges, the courts in Alberta ruled that prosecution or even a mental fitness assessment would violate his charter rights. 

In 2025, King’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth halted the only attempt to give Longclaws a trial before it began, stating that the case could not be legally handled. 

Yungwirth noted several reasons, including Longclaws need for an interpreter – but as he couldn’t understand English, and spoke no actual language, it would be impossible to communicate to him and honor this Charter right, the Post reported.

‘Online Predator Network’: Court Hears Chinese Migrants in Germany Shared Rape Advice in Group Chat

They called themselves the “German driving school for experts,” but prosecutors say the true purpose of their Telegram chats was to brag about the women they raped and share tips about how to drug them.

In posts that sometimes included photos and videos of their attacks on unconscious victims, they referred to women as “cars,” sedatives as “fuel” and rape as “driving,” according to court documents. They called their victims “dead pigs.”

Investigators have been poring through several years’ worth of posts in roughly two dozen group chats on the popular messaging app that authorities believe served an online predator network of mainly Chinese men targeting mostly Chinese women in Germany. Their investigation has led to the convictions of three alleged inner circle members on rape and other charges, and the ongoing trial of a fourth man in Berlin.

“The perpetrators were characterized by a particular ruthlessness, an objectification of the victims, and the perfidious planning of their crimes,” Frankfurt chief prosecutor Dominik Mies told The Associated Press.

Major details of the investigation remain unknown, at least to the public, including how many attacks and perpetrators have been linked to the German Telegram chats and how the chats, some of which reportedly had tens of thousands of members, could have operated for so long. It’s also unclear if the chats are linked to a ballooning investigation in Europe and the Americas into drug-facilitated sexual assaults by misogynist online communities.

Under German privacy laws, prosecutors are limited in what they can say outside the courtroom, documents are restricted and, in the ongoing case in Berlin, members of the public have been forced to leave the courtroom during parts of the trial.

This may be why the investigation into the Telegram group has garnered less attention in Germany than might be expected. But members of the country’s Chinese community, mostly women, have been attending court proceedings to show support for the victims even if they don’t know them.

“What makes one really angry is to see that such groups hate women, they have no respect,” said Fu Xiao, who traveled roughly 500 kilometers (310 miles) to Berlin last week to attend the trial. “Women aren´t seen as people.”

In China, state media has covered the cases comprehensively, but wider discussion about the prosecutions on Chinese-language social media like Rednote has been partially censored. Certain tags have been more likely to get a post deleted or banned on Rednote, screenshots and searches show. But posts using less direct language have survived the censors, including ones that refer to “date rape” or the euphemistic “students studying abroad in Germany.”

China´s Ministry of Public Security and Rednote didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Footage Shows Cop Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

A police officer speeds 70 MPH down a two-lane highway running over a bridge in the Florida Keys. He passes a dump truck in a no-passing zone, then immediately does it again, crossing over a double-yellow line to pass another truck. He passes a third vehicle, nearly causing a head-on collision with a white pickup truck that veers away from him in the oncoming traffic. The cop keeps driving, and sees the SUV he’s been in pursuit of. He flicks his sirens and lights on and pulls it over.

The cop, Lamar Roman, wasn’t trying to pull over a suspected criminal. He was tracking and chasing a woman that he met and harassed on the set of the AppleTV+ show Bad Monkey, which he had worked a security detail shift on a few weeks prior to pulling her over. After meeting the woman, catcalling her and harassing her for her full name and Instagram details, the cop illegally looked up her vehicle information on DAVID, a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles database for law enforcement. He then put her license plate details on a surveillance “hotlist,” meaning he would get a notification in real time anytime she drove by an AI-powered license plate surveillance camera.

Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

Ex-Girlfriend of Graham Platner Calls Out NYT’s Claim They ‘Could Not Corroborate’ Allegations: Victim Says They Ignored Her Evidence and Witnesses

Scandals surrounding Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner continue to unfold.

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that rumors are swirling that he will drop out of the race after he abruptly canceled multiple town hall events ahead of a new damaging hit piece.

Later Monday, Politico released the latest Platner sex scandal regarding a woman who said that he raped her.

Following the latest scandal, some of his prior backers, including Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego and Democrat Rep Ro Khanna, withdrew their endorsements.

One of his prior girlfriends, 40-year-old Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia conservative who dated Platner between 2013 and 2015, called him “cavalierly contemptuous of women’s emotions, of our ‘weakness.’

On Tuesday, Fifield addressed questionable reporting by The New York Times in their coverage of Platner and their claim that they “could not corroborate” the allegations, at least where she was concerned.

Fifield describes, in detail, the multiple contacts she provided to the outlet that could corroborate her timeline, as well as specific incidents detailing disturbing behavior.  She provided friends, former roommates, and even other men she dated.
