N.Y.: ‘Level 2’ sex offender with 16 prior arrests charged with assaulting 20-year-old NYU student

A 45-year-old homeless man with a lengthy history of sex crimes and violence against women was arrested on Tuesday after a brazen daylight assault on a 20-year-old New York University student just steps from the school’s Manhattan campus.

James Rizzo, 45, obtained his 17th arrest on Tuesday after attacking NYU sophomore student Amelia Lewis, 20.

According to the report, Rizzo quickly approached the NYU sophomore as she walked to class, slapped her forcefully on the buttocks, then struck her head, knocking her to the ground.

“I just really want to emphasize how not OK this is. I am a student at NYU. I should not be scared to be walking the street to go to my 9:30 a.m. class. These people are disgusting, and they should not be able to be walking around the street freely targeting girls and doing this. Cause I heard that this guy did this a month ago,” Lewis said on a TikTok video, where she further discussed the incident with her friends, family, and online followers.

Police say Rizzo is listed on New York’s Sex Offender Registry as a Level 2 offender, with two publicly accessible mugshots. According to the registry, he was convicted in March 2023 for forcing himself onto another person’s intimate parts during an assault that occurred the month before.

“The University is pleased that a suspect has been apprehended in the attack on one of its students that took place Monday morning on a Broadway sidewalk,” NYU spokesperson John Beckman exclaimed. “We take this incident very seriously. We are continuing to offer support to the student, and our Campus Safety Department assisted the victim and worked with the police investigating the incident.”

Following the most recent incident, Rizzo was later arrested and charged with persistent sexual abuse, forcible touching, and assault. 16 prior arrests of his similarly involved sex offenses or sexual misconduct, a law enforcement source reported.

Just days before the attack on the NYU student, Rizzo also purportedly shoved a 68-year-old woman as she walked along Fifth Avenue at around 8:45 p.m. on Thanksgiving. In what investigators described as an unprovoked assault, he reportedly struck her with his elbow so forcefully that she fell to the ground and suffered a deep cut.

He was also charged with burglary in connection with a separate incident in a nearby building, with some reports indicating multiple counts. New York authorities stated that they found Rizzo “in the act” as he was burglarizing an apartment near Washing Square Park on Tuesday. Police connected Rizzo to four other burglaries committed at the same location, all around 1 a.m. on Tuesday.

Victims of the theft include a 28-year-old man who woke up to find his suitcase and backpack gone. Another unnamed man, 29, had three laptops, headphones, and his backpack stolen. Lastly, a 58-year-old woman had $3,150 in items taken, police added.

“I just feel very lucky,” the unidentified woman attacked on Thanksgiving said on Wednesday. “[I’m] very lucky that he didn’t have a weapon or that it didn’t happen in the subway station and throw me on the tracks.”

In addition to the burglary charges, police have since announced that he faces assault counts for both attacks, as well as sexual abuse and forcible touching stemming from the assault on Lewis.

Minnesota Immigrant Rapist Who Walked Free on “Sweetheart” Plea Deals Strikes Again — Rapes Third Victim After Dodging Jail for Kidnapping and Raping a Woman He Met Online

In a horrifying testament to the utter collapse of law and order under radical left-wing policies, a vicious repeat sex offender named Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, of Minneapolis, has been charged with the brutal kidnapping and repeated rape of yet another terrified woman, just months after dodging real prison time for two prior rape convictions.

Prosecutors allege that Mohamed met the victim via Snapchat at her home in Mankato in September 2025, then drove her to a hotel in Bloomington.

Once the victim got in the vehicle, Mohamed reportedly told her, “You’re not going home,” according to Fox News.

The woman told investigators that Mohamed confiscated her phone and indicated she would not be allowed to leave while she was held captive and sexually assaulted over several days.

Nearly a week after the kidnapping, she escaped, jumping out of Mohamed’s car near Aldrich Avenue South in Minneapolis, at which point a resident called the police.

Authorities have charged Mohamed with kidnapping, felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct, and other related offenses. He is currently held in the county jail on a $300,000 bond.

Mohamed was previously convicted in two separate sexual-assault cases, but under plea deals, he avoided traditional prison time.

In a 2017 case, he was linked via DNA and other evidence to the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old girl who had communicated with him on Snapchat.

The court accepted a plea agreement: a 36-month prison sentence was stayed, he was given 364 days in a workhouse (credit for time served) and placed on probation for five years.

In a separate 2024 case, prosecutors said he had threatened a woman and her sister with a gun if she refused sex in his Minneapolis apartment.

Is Ireland About to Erupt Into a Civil War Over ‘Illegal Immigration’?

Official details surrounding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a 26-year-old “asylum seeker” are murky due to a system that protects not only the victim, but also the alleged predator.

As the Irish Times reports, police “have been unable to speak to a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted in west Dublin last month, ‘due to medical advice,’ a court has heard.”

On top of that, the alleged perpetrator in the case “cannot be identified due to the nature of the charge.” The unidentified man is accused of sexual assault of the girl on Oct. 20, 2025, “after the girl went missing from care.” 

It has been reported that the young girl was under the care of Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency. She had gone missing during a supervised field trip to the city center before the assault occurred somewhere near the Citywest Hotel in Dublin, one of the facilities used to house asylum seekers.

Most of the details in the case that have been officially revealed are procedural ones, like court dates, sanity tests for the accused, and physical and mental health assessments for the victim. 

The public reaction to the rape, however, provides a little more context, given that the Irish citizenry is reacting to what they know even if authorities aren’t releasing confirmed details. 

Within 48 hours of the crime and for several nights, violent protests flared up around the City West Hotel, which is a large former hotel that has been transformed into a migrant center housing 2,000 illegal migrants. 

Fox News reported that the perpetrator is “an illegal migrant — who had deportation orders standing against him — is accused of attacking the girl.” According to that report, police said their officers who responded to the situation were attacked as “they tried to cordon off the building” and protect the migrants inside. Roughly 300 officers responded. 

Protesters waved green, white, and orange Irish national flags. Some chanted, “Get them out, get them out,” which Fox News reported was centered on the shelter’s residents. The protesters threw empty glass bottles and bricks. They discharged fireworks. They pointed lasers into the cockpit of a police helicopter. And two protesters on horseback tried to breach the police line. 

The local police commissioner, Justin Kelly, apparently unaware that the American media redefined what a “peaceful protest” is during the Black Lives Matter unrest in America in 2020, said, “This was obviously not a peaceful protest…The actions this evening can only be described as thuggery. This was a mob intent on violence against Gardaí (Irish police).” 

The Irish news media has reported that the suspect in the rape case arrived in Ireland six years ago from Africa. He failed his application to the European Union (EU) for international protection in 2024 and was ordered to be deported in March. 

Against this backdrop, a group calling itself the “New Republican Movement” has popped up with a foreboding video it posted online, calling out those in power in Ireland who they accuse of facilitating mass immigration and indoctrination of children in schools.

ACLU Files Motion to Have Even More Male Convicts Moved to Women’s Prison After Securing Transfer of 4 Trans-Identified Male Killers and Sex Offenders

At least four trans-identified male convicts were transferred into an Illinois women’s prison after being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Now, the ACLU is requesting that the court issue an order prohibiting those men from being transferred to Menard Correctional Center, the state’s largest maximum security male facility, and demanding that an additional group of men in Menard be offered a transfer to a women’s prison.

For nearly a decade, the Illinois ACLU has acted as legal counsel on behalf of a group of male criminals who claim to be transgender, of whom at least four have been confirmed by Reduxx to be currently housed at Logan Correctional Center – a women’s facility.

In January 2018, the ACLU filed a class-action lawsuit against Department of Corrections (DOC) officials on behalf of six male inmates requesting a transfer to a women’s prison. In legal documents, all of the men were identified by a feminine alias: Andre C. Patterson, or “Janiah Monroe”; Eric D. Padilla, or “Lydia Helena Vision”; Diego R. Melendez, or “Marilyn”; Jordan Kuykendall, or “Sora”; Fadell Reed, or “Sasha”; and Gregory Stamps, or “Ebony.”

The initial suit, Monroe v. Rauner, accused then-mayor Bruce Rauner and DOC Director John Baldwin of “cruel and unusual punishment,” an eighth amendment violation, for not providing the convicted criminals with feminizing hormones.

The complaint argues that “the IDOC systematically fails to provide necessary medical treatment for gender dysphoria… Among other common and medically necessary treatments, IDOC routinely fails to provide adequate hormone therapy and to accommodate social transition so that a prisoner can live consistently with his or her gender identity.”

It continues: “And while gender affirming [genital] surgery also is medically necessary for some patients with gender dysphoria, IDOC has adopted a policy that such surgery can be approved only in ‘extraordinary circumstances,’ which in practice means that IDOC never has approved any prisoner for surgical gender dysphoria treatment.”

The suit has been ongoing for the past eight years. Earlier this year, the ACLU filed a preliminary injunction seeking to prevent the DOC from ever transferring Padilla, Patterson, Kuykendall, Melendez, or Reed from being transferred to male prison Menard.

Trantifa city councilor Lucy Lauser seeks dismissal of indecent exposure charges as defense attorney argues males are not prosecuted for going topless

A defense attorney for a Washington state lawmaker has filed a motion to dismiss a case involving indecent exposure charges against his client, transgender Stevenson city councilor Lucy Lauser. Lauser, who is actively involved with Antifa networks, is accused of unlawfully exposing his “breasts” during an anti-Trump protest in July. Lauser is a man who identifies as a woman.

Skamania District Court Judge Ronald H. Reynier presided over oral arguments on Monday concerning the Knapstad motion to dismiss, which mandates that the prosecution and defense agree on all facts of the case in order for it to be prosecuted.

“My client was protesting the current presidential administration’s Executive Order, which basically put in place that under federal law that there are two genders, and that…every person is the gender that they were assigned at birth,” defense attorney Brian Pruett told the judge, according to Upliftlocal. “That’s highly offensive to my client, and as a result, on the Fourth of July…[she] chose to protest in a way that clearly addresses that issue.”

Lauser’s legal troubles stem from a July 4, 2025, protest outside the Skamania County Courthouse in downtown Stevenson, a small community of about 1,500 residents. During the demonstration, Lauser exposed his breasts by removing his shirt. He had painted one arm red, taped his mouth and nipples in black, and inscribed “woman, life, freedom” across his chest. The topless display was intended to challenge President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting sex change procedures for minors and barring men from competing on women’s sports teams, which Lauser has publicly decried as dehumanizing. 

Skamania County deputy prosecuting attorney Elise Howard argued to the judge that the councilor’s conduct was against the law, and referred to Lauser with female pronouns during the proceedings.

“Because Ms. Lauser’s protest was non-verbal and the message was unlikely to be understood by those who viewed her conduct…it can be analyzed as mere conduct and not protected speech and is thus easily found to be obscene,” Howard wrote in a court filing, asking the judge to “find that there is at least a possibility that a reasonable juror” could make the same judgment.

“The law,” she added, “is ambiguous, and when there is an ambiguity such as that, it’s our duty to prosecute and bring that question before the court.”

Shortly after his arrest, Lauser told reporters, “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.”

Satanic child sex abuse ring is busted by police in Australia – as four men are charged over their involvement

A Sydney-based satanic child sex abuse material ring has been busted by police, who have charged four men over their alleged involvement. 

Among those charged is Landon Ashton Versace Germanotta-Mills, 26, who was arrested at an apartment in Waterloo in the city of Sydney on Thursday 

Police allege Germanotta-Mills played a leading role in the paedophile network, which traded shocking abuse material.

Detectives from the sex crimes squad established Strike Force Constantine to investigate the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic or satanic themes. 

During the investigation, police uncovered the Sydney-based network which was actively involved in possessing, distributing and facilitating the material via a ‘website administered internationally’. 

Detectives, along with the riot squad, executed six search warrants on Thursday in Waterloo, Ultimo and Malabar. 

Germanotta-Mills, a self-appointed independent investigative journalist, was arrested in a zebra-print outfit, covering his face with a blue beanie. 

He was charged with child abuse offences including seven counts of using a carriage service to make child abuse available, use carriage service to access child abuse material, three counts of possessing child abuse data-use carriage service, two counts of disseminating bestiality material and possessing bestiality material.

Male ‘Trans’ TSA Agent Wants to Pat Down Women So Bad He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over it

A self-proclaimed transgender employee of the Transportation Security Administration filed a lawsuit over his inability to perform pat-downs under the Trump administration.

Danielle Mittereder, a man claiming to be a woman, is challenging the Department of Homeland Security over its new policy ensuring that TSA agents can only screen members of their actual sex.

The lawsuit filed earlier this month asserted that the policy violates federal civil rights law.

Mittereder started working for the TSA in June 2024 and is currently stationed at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Because President Donald Trump signed an executive order against recognizing transgenderism in the federal workforce on his first day back in office, Mittereder now finds himself unable to pat down women.

SF Sheriff’s Office Hit With New Scandal of Officers Allegedly Taking Video of Women’s Strip Searches

Nearly 20 women just filed a claim against the city saying that SF Sheriff’s deputies recorded their strip searches on video while laughing, with some deputies even threatening to post the video online.

There have been a few humdinger scandals coming out of the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office in recent months. Over the summer, it came to light that ​SF Sheriff’’s Office Chief of Staff Richard Jue had a hit-and-run accident in a city-owned vehicle and submitted a false report about it (he was placed on administrative leave, got a slap on the wrist, and was allowed to retire). Last month, we learned that a deputy who lied to the FBI to protect Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow was rehired by the department, at the direct recommendation of Sheriff Paul Yamamoto. And just days after that, news broke that Yamamoto’s own brother-in-law had been growing marijuana at SF County Jail, and smoking it on-site.

The latest scandal may prove to be the worst of the bunch. Mission Local reports that “at least 20 women” say they were subjected to strip searches that were recorded on video by Sheriff’s deputies when the women were incarcerated at SF County Jail. That report says the video was taken by male deputies’ with body-worn cameras, with the women saying that blinking green lights showed the cameras were recording. Now 17 women have filed a claim with the city, which is not a lawsuit, but shows the women have lawyered up and that a state or federal lawsuit mey be on the way.

“This Claim arises from a mass, unlawful, and degrading strip search of women housed in the B-Pod of the San Francisco County Jail on May 22, 2025, and from continuing harassment, intimidation, and gender-based violence by deputies in the days and weeks that follows,” the women’s attorney Elizabeth Bertolino says in the claim, per Mission Local.

That claim alleges that the women “were forced to strip in an open setting, were subjected to visual body cavity searches, and were required either to undergo or to witness these invasive searches while male deputies, some armed with weapons, stood by watching, laughing, and making comments.”

It gets creepier. The claim adds that “a supervising sergeant taunted the women that their nude videos could be posted online.”

Colombia says 17 minors rescued from Jewish cult Lev Tahor amid abuse allegations

Colombian authorities said Sunday they had rescued 17 minors from Lev Tahor, an extremist ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect under investigation for alleged child sex abuse.

“We have rescued 17 boys, girls and teens,” the country’s immigration service said on X, posting pictures of some of the children with their faces blurred or shielded from view.

Five of the minors rescued were identified as missing persons whom Interpol had issued “yellow notices” to find, authorities said.

Founded in Jerusalem in the 1980s, Lev Tahor — literally, “pure heart” in Hebrew — has been dogged by allegations of child abuse for years, and Israel and others have called it a cult. Its leader is in prison for kidnapping children.

A group called Lev Tahor Survivors has estimated the sect’s membership at several hundred people and says it is led by a core cohort, with the rest being held mostly against their will.

The group adheres to an extreme, idiosyncratic interpretation of Judaism and kosher dietary laws that largely shields members from the outside world.

Women and girls above the age of 3 are required to dress in black robes that completely cover their bodies, leading some to call the group the “Jewish Taliban.” The men spend most of their days in prayer and studying specific portions of the Torah.

“Non-Binary” Maryland Teacher Sparks Outrage After Posting TikToks Flaunting Pregnancy And Breast Implant “Kinks”

Concerns are mounting in Maryland after a male teacher was found posting TikTok videos flaunting what he describes as his pregnancy and breast-implant fetish. Although the teacher has since locked down his social media accounts, the child-safeguarding organization Gays Against Groomers saved one of the clips and reposted it on X, where it has already racked up more than 30,000 views at the time of writing.

Reduxx has identified the teacher in the controversial video as James Roman Stilipec, who instructs Grade 9 English at REACH! Partnership School 341 in Baltimore.

In the clip shared by Gays Against Groomers, Stilipec is seen wearing an exaggerated breast form and an oversized fake pregnant belly beneath a tight green shirt. The video appears to be a repost from a concerned viewer, who captioned it: “this man @allthatjaz22 is a 9th grade teacher and posts this publicly.”
