Playboy’s Hugh Hefner Reported Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI After Playmate Claimed She Was Raped and Trafficked by Him

Audra Lynn Christiansen said she was an Epstein survivor.

A lawsuit filed against the FBI for failing to act in response to multiple reports against late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is digging up some unexpected stories.

In one of them, the late Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner allegedly called the Bureau to report Epstein – already a convicted sex offender – after a ‘Playmate’ model told him that she’d been raped and trafficked by him.

Daily Mail reported:

“Audra Lynn Christiansen, a 2003 Playmate, was living with Hefner at the Playboy Mansion when she turned to him for help, claiming that she had been raped by Epstein and trafficked to his wealthy friends.  

She claims that in 2005 she asked Hefner to call the authorities on her behalf due to his celebrity status and connections, hoping that his clout would help her allegations to be taken more seriously.

The allegations are detailed in an amended complaint filed in May in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.”

Actor charged with 24 felony counts in alleged child sexual abuse case

A California actor and producer is facing 24 felony charges after investigators said he used online casting calls to contact minors as part of an alleged pattern of child sexual abuse spanning decades.

Shane Ryan Gledhill, 46, of Lompoc, was arrested Aug. 3 after Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives spent nearly five years investigating accusations of exploitation.

Gledhill, whose work involved projects connected to actors including Shelley Duvall, Tom Arnold, Richard Dreyfuss and Ed Harris, was initially booked on 15 felony charges. That total has now climbed to 24.

The investigation began in November 2021, when a 17-year-old survivor approached Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s investigators about what they described as suspicious and inappropriate conduct involving Gledhill when she was 15, according to authorities.

That initial report led to an investigation that eventually identified nine survivors, the Sheriff’s Office said. All were minors at the time of the alleged offenses.

In February 2022, investigators executed a search warrant at his residence in Lompoc. Investigators seized thousands of digital files, which underwent an extensive forensic examination.

The Sheriff’s Office said the investigation uncovered a pattern in which Gledhill allegedly used online casting calls and film-making projects to contact aspiring young actors.

Pedophile Paradise: How Israel and Its US Allies Protect Sex Offenders

Before Donald Trump and Israel attacked Iran, Jeffrey Epstein was the biggest story in the world. It’s not hard to see why.

Epstein captured the public’s imagination not just because his case exposed the extent of elite depravity and lack of accountability, but also because the world’s most notorious pedophile was almost certainly an Israeli intelligence asset. That fact adds a whole new geopolitical dimension to the already twisted and complicated Epstein saga.

But Epstein is not an aberration. For decades, Israel has served as a sanctuary for sexual predators while the US government looked the other way. Israel’s allies on the American Christian Right have always remained conspicuously silent on the issue.

Fugitives, Fixers, and Years of Delay

The Law That Made Israel a Safe Haven for Criminals

In 1978, Israel banned the extradition of its own citizens. The law, pushed through under Prime Minister Menachem Begin, was intended to protect Jews from hostile courts, but it later created a loophole that allowed Israeli citizens accused of crimes abroad to avoid extradition.

In September 1997, Samuel Sheinbein killed 19-year-old Alfredo Enrique Tello Jr. in Maryland and fled to Israel, where he claimed Israeli citizenship through his Israeli-born father and became protected from extradition to the US. His father, Sol, an attorney with dual citizenship, brought him a passport and a ticket to Tel Aviv, and that case became a major precedent in Israel’s extradition law.

Israel’s Supreme Court blocked Sheinbein’s extradition in a 3–2 decision, despite demands from Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and congressional threats to suspend aid. Chief Justice Aharon Barak, who wrote the dissenting opinion, argued that Sheinbein should be extradited and warned that the ruling could turn Israel into a haven for criminals. Sheinbein received 24 years in an Israeli prison, far short of the sentence he could have faced in the US.

Israel amended the law after the scandal, allowing the extradition of Israeli citizens under specified conditions. The Sheinbein case exposed a conflict between Israel’s domestic extradition law and its extradition obligations to the US, and prompted a broader overhaul of the country’s extradition framework. During the debate over the reform, Hanan Porat, head of the Knesset’s Law Committee, warned against allowing Israel to become a “safe house for criminals abroad.”

By 2020, Jewish Community Watch had identified more than 60 accused child-sex offenders who had moved from the US to Israel since 2014, and believed the true number was higher. Activists blamed both Israel for failing to address the problem and the US for not pursuing extradition aggressively, according to CBS News.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Releases Statement After Son Tyler Arrested Again on Multiple Felony Charges Tied to Alleged Sexual Exploitation of a Child

Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, is back in legal hot water—this time facing serious felony charges related to the alleged sexual exploitation of a child.

According to court records from Garfield County, Colorado, Tyler Boebert was arrested in connection with five felony counts stemming from an alleged incident dated around January 1, 2024.

The charges include sexual exploitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child with intent to deal in, sell, or distribute sexually exploitative material, a related charge involving videotaped material, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Denver Post.

He was taken into custody and released from Garfield County jail on Sunday after posting a $10,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 19 in Garfield County District Court. Specific details from the arrest affidavit have not been made public.

Rep. Boebert issued a brief statement to The Daily Mail, stating, “I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”

This is hardly Tyler Boebert’s first encounter with law enforcement.

In February 2024, he was arrested following a string of vehicle break-ins and property thefts around Rifle, Colorado. Police initially accused him of offenses involving stolen credit cards, identification documents and several juvenile accomplices.

Judge Presiding Over Madison Brooks Rape Trial Is Mother of Convicted Serial Rapist: Report

The son of the judge set to preside over one of the men accused in the horrific gang rape of Louisiana State University student Madison Brooks is a convicted serial rapist, and the judge herself once represented him in court, the New York Post reported.

The trial for Desmond Carter, 21, one of the three men charged with raping Brooks inside a vehicle before her death, is scheduled to begin August 17 before Judge Gail Horne Ray of the 19th Judicial District Court, according to WBRZ.

Brooks, a 19-year-old LSU student, was fatally struck by a car in January 2023 after a group of men allegedly raped her and then dumped her out of a vehicle onto a Baton Rouge highway.

Now it has been widely reported that Judge Ray’s son, Nelson Dan Taylor Jr., now 46, is a convicted serial rapist. In 1997, when he was 17 and a high school student, Taylor pleaded guilty to three counts of forcible rape and five counts of aggravated burglary stemming from a series of attacks on multiple girls, including some of his classmates, between the fall of 1995 and spring of 1996.

According to reports, Taylor surprised victims in their bedrooms while armed with a knife or gun and wearing a mask. He was sentenced to 50 years.

A later post-conviction arrangement reduced aspects of the sentence. Judge Ray, then a defense attorney, represented her own son in the case.

Taylor recently returned to court on July 22 seeking to have his rape convictions and sentences set aside nearly three decades later.

Father Shoots His Daughter’s Alleged R*pist After Posing as Her on TikTok – Then He is Charged By Authorities and Given a Higher Bond than the P*dophile

A loving Ohio father who was furious over a monster sexually assaulting his daughter took a unique approach to put a stop to the abuse, but is now paying a price.

As WBNS reported on Tuesday, Diego Montoya Gonzalez was shot by a 11-year-old girl’s father last month at their Grove City home after the child’s mother discovered video footage of her being r*ped.

The day after the footage was found, the child’s father posed as his daughter on TikTok to lure Montoya Gonzalez back to their home. Then, he shot him twice.

The dad said he acted in self-defense, claiming he only wanted to ‘beat up’ Montoya Gonzalez but saw him reach for a gun first.

But the dad’s daring act to save his innocent girl comes at a legal cost: WBNS reveals that he is being charged with felonious assault. His bond was set at $100,000.

Many Americans would certainly consider this decision by the authorities outrageous, especially since he was trying to protect his child.

Like WBNS, The Gateway Pundit will not identify the father to safeguard the little girl’s privacy.

Israel protects Mexican official wanted for mass kidnap-murder, along with accused sex criminals and fraudsters

Israel has become a haven for international criminals. Many are dual-nationals who have taken advantage of their ability to move seamlessly between Israel and their second country of citizenship to commit crimes and, in some cases, evade justice.

The scale of the criminality, and the volume of cases (relative to the population of Israel), is astonishing.

Among the most notorious accused criminals being protected from justice by Israel is Timur Mindich, the ultimate financial beneficiary of the Ukrainian drone maker Fire Point. Mindich fled to Israel last year, just days before being charged as the mastermind behind a $100 million embezzlement scheme involving Ukraine’s state nuclear power company. Mindich also happens to be the co-owner of Kvartal 95 Studio, the production company founded by Volodymyr Zelensky.

Mindich, like many in this article, has taken advantage of Israel’s controversial Law of Return which allows any Jew in the world to claim Israeli citizenship without having to renounce their home country passport.

Some of those accused and charged have made minor or international headlines, some haven’t, but the scale of the issue was such that I thought it would be useful to document my research here.

In some cases, Israel has refused to extradite the wanted person despite requests from the country in which the crimes were committed.

Staying on Ukraine and refused extradition requests, we have Oleksandr Dubilet, the former Chairman of the Board of Ukraine’s PrivatBank. Dubilet is currently a fugitive in Israel and the subject of multiple criminal investigations and extradition requests for his role in embezzling at least $100 million dollars following the 2016 privatisation of PrivatBank. To date, Israel has refused to extradite him.

Israel as a bolthole for financial fraudsters is a common theme. One of the most significant SEC fraud cases in recent years involved over 150 Israelis (some with dual US-Israeli nationality, others not), wanted for their role in conducting binary options fraud worth upwards of $100 billion.

Binary options are a type of financial bet where the outcome is essentially all-or-nothing. Instead of buying a stock or currency, you bet on whether the price of a stock or currency will be above or below a certain level at a specific time. While not illegal, the Israeli companies were accused of rigging and manipulating prices and expiry times and using fake identities.

For a decade until 2017, Israel was the global centre for the online binary-options industry. The Israeli police failed to investigate, so hundreds of cases were filed in Israeli courts by people from dozens of countries who had been defrauded.

One of the most notorious fraudsters was Lee Elbaz, the CEO of Yukom Communications, a dual US-Israeli national. She was arrested in 2017 when on holiday in New York and eventually convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Other prime Israeli movers in the binary options fraud business were Yossi Herzog and Yakov Cohen, both connected with Yukom and other binary options front companies. They were charged with $140 million fraud in 2019 but despite being under a DOJ criminal investigation the US choose not to pursue their extradition, while other Israeli co-conspirators in the Yukom case have joined Elbaz in serving jail sentences.

Transgender TV star arrested on child molestation and sodomy charges, mom ‘blindsided’

Reality TV star Sidney Starr, a transgender whose real name is Sidney Favors, was arrested Sunday in Georgia on felony charges of sodomy, sexual battery against a child under 16 and aggravated child molestation.

Favors is a man pretending to be a woman, and IMDB calls him an “actress” who has appeared “Star” and “Empire.” TMZ says Sidney is best known for “Love & Hip Hop: New York” and “Wild ‘n Out.”

Fox 5 Atlanta reports Favors “was taken into custody following an incident at the Embassy Suites in the 3400 block of International Boulevard” in Hapeville, Georgia.

“Booking records accuse her of performing oral sex on a minor at a hotel in Hapeville and confessing to the act,” according to TMZ.

“Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency,” the Hapeville Police Department told the station.

The probe has been turned over to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

Libs of TikTok noted: “The thing they say never happens, happened again.”

Meanwhile, TMZ reports Stephanie Favors, the mother of Sidney Favors, says she was blindsided by the child sex allegations against her child, and fully stands behind Sidney.

“Stephanie Favors tells us the allegations are completely out of character for Sidney,” she told TMZ, “and she does not believe her [biological son] would engage in sexual activity with a minor.”

Sidney Favors posted a video on TikTok dancing with mother Stephanie.

Idaho: Previously deported Mexican national charged with repeated sexual assault of young child

A previously deported Mexican national is facing multiple felony charges in Idaho following allegations of repeated sexual abuse involving a young child over a span of five years, state and federal law enforcement authorities confirmed.

The suspect, identified as 48-year-old Jose Oliver Mendoza-Colindres, was taken into custody after an investigation led by local law enforcement revealed a pattern of abuse that began when the victim was just 3-years-old.

The exact relationship between Mendoza-Colindres and the victim has not been publicly disclosed by law enforcement or in charging documents.

The investigation unfolded after deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office attended a forensic interview at a child care center in Pocatello. During the disclosure interview, the underage victim detailed multiple instances of sexual abuse purportedly committed by Mendoza-Colindres between the ages of 3 and 8.

“I’m showing you my love,” Mendoza-Colindres reportedly told the young child during the abuse.

According to Border Hawk, in 2020, the victim’s father even caught him sexually abusing his child during a party. “A physical altercation involving the child’s mother ensued,” the outlet noted.

“Court documents state the victim’s parents did not report the incident because they were unsure if the victim would remember the incident at her age and did not want to traumatize her. In addition, documents state the victim’s parents were concerned about the victim’s father’s immigration status,” as reported by East Idaho News.

Following the victim’s account and subsequent preliminary findings, law enforcement moved swiftly to arrest the suspect. Mendoza-Colindres has since been formally charged in Idaho state court with one count of sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 16 and two counts of lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16.

According to records released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Mendoza-Colindres has a history of illegal entries into the United States.

Federal records suggest that he first entered the U.S. illegally through Texas in 2002 and was formally deported back to Mexico. However, Mendoza-Colindres later re-entered the country unlawfully near California in 2007 and remained in the U.S. undetected until his recent arrest in Idaho.

On July 26th, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an immigration detainer with Idaho detention authorities, formally requesting that state officials hold Mendoza-Colindres and notify federal agents prior to any potential release.

DHS officials emphasized that since local jurisdictions in Idaho actively cooperate with federal immigration detainers, ICE intends to assume custody of the suspect to pursue deportation proceedings once state criminal charges and any resulting judicial sentences are fully resolved.

Mendoza-Colindres remains in custody awaiting further court proceedings on his state felony charges.

Meet the Woke Judge Who Sentenced Minnesota Mother Shiloh Hendrix for Speech ‘Crimes’ and Learn About Her Sordid Judicial History

The far-left judge at the center of the alarming verdict in the Shiloh Hendrix case is going viral, and much has come about her judicial past. And it is not pretty.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, a Minnesota jury on Thursday night delivered a split verdict in the disorderly conduct trial of Shiloh Hendrix.

The jury found the 37-year-old mother not guilty on the count related to her words directed at the eight-year-old Somali boy who was stealing from her, but guilty on the count stemming from her comments to the man who filmed and confronted her at a Rochester playground.

Last April, Hendrix was at the park with her toddler when the boy reached into her diaper bag and took an applesauce pouch. She confronted the child and allegedly used the N-word.

A Somali man named Sharmake Beyle Omar, who was not the child’s father, began recording the scene, became extremely confrontational with Hendrix as she was holding her toddler, and continued filming as he demanded and provoked her to repeat the slur.

Following the verdict, Judge Christa M. Daily sentenced Hendrix to a $1,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, supervised probation, and a stayed 90-day jail term.

While racism is horrible and no one should condone racial slurs, punishing someone for uncouth speech is precisely what our Founders fought against. Yet, Hendrix will pay a legal price unless the sentence is overturned.

This outrageous travesty of justice becomes even more glaring when one learns of Judge Daily’s past cases.

Back in January 2023, Daily sentenced a pervert named Thomas Lee Meyer to NO JAIL TIME even though he was convicted of four felony charges of possessing pornographic work.

The victims were reportedly 6 to 8 years old.

Back in August 2024, a 22-year-old Mississippi man named Trashun Haywood was convicted of first and second-degree assault and sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Haywood had repeatedly stabbed a 26-year-old Rochester man with a pocket knife after the two men got into an argument at an apartment complex in northwest Rochester on Christmas Eve of 2021.

The victim suffered stab wounds to his neck, abdomen, and arm. The injuries were so severe that medical personnel at the St. Mary’s Hospital Emergency Department had to perform “life-saving measures.”

But Daily decided to waive 4-1/2 years of the sentence. She said she did so because Haywood eventually admitted to the stabbing and expressed remorse.
