Son turns on his lawmaker dad for using ‘Epstein loophole’ to avoid jail for allegedly touching kids: ‘Inexplicable trauma’

The son of a disgraced lawmaker has turned on his father for using an “Epstein loophole” to avoid spending time behind bars for allegedly touching children.

Speaking out for the first time, Robert Scrivner branded California’s mental health diversion law a “flawed system” after his father Zack dodged getting locked up.

“My own father, who is an elected official in Kern County, assaulted my siblings and myself and was granted mental health diversion,” Robert said during a press conference by State Senator Shannon Grove, who wants to rescind the loophole.

On Tuesday, Grove announced Senate Bill 1373, which would set limits on certain crimes for the mental health diversion law.

“My bill will ensure that those who commit violent crimes, such as attempted murder of a child, assault resulting in death and domestic violence, are no longer eligible for a mental health diversion program,” Grove said.

FURIOUS Sacramento Sheriff TORCHES Newsom’s “Elderly Parole” Scheme After Serial Child Rapist Set Free

Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper erupted in anger this week after it was confirmed that convicted serial child molester David Allen Funston, once described in court as “the monster parents fear most,” has been approved for parole under California’s controversial Elderly Parole Program.

Funston, 64, was convicted in 1999 of kidnapping and molesting young children in Sacramento County in the mid-1990s.

A judge at sentencing labeled him a threat to society, and he received three consecutive 25-to-life terms, plus additional time, effectively a life sentence, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

But under California’s elderly parole law, which allows inmates over age 50 who have served at least 20 years to be considered for release, Funston was deemed “suitable for parole.”

According to KTLA:

Funston was eligible for a parole suitability hearing under the Elderly Parole Program because he was not on death row nor was he sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Depending on an inmate’s sentence, their first Elderly Parole Program hearing is scheduled after they have been incarcerated at least 20 continuous years and reached the age of 50. Inmates are also eligible for the Elderly Parole Program if they were incarcerated for 25 continuous years and reached the age of 60.

Funston, as of 2026, is 64 years old and has served 27 years in prison, thus qualifying him for the latter category, as he does not have a sentence that makes him ineligible for the chance to be paroled.

During a press conference, Sheriff Cooper blasted the parole board and Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration for allowing such a predator to be reconsidered for release under a program that is sick and broken.

Former British Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, Arrested Over His Epstein Ties, Suspected of Committing ‘Misconduct in Public Office’

The fallout over the revelations contained in the US DOJ-released ‘Epstein files’ continues to rock Britain.

Labour peer, former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, has been arrested on suspicion of committing misconduct in public office.

The Telegraph reported:

“The former Labour minister was pictured being led from his London home by plain clothes police officers.

Scotland Yard has been investigating allegations that he passed sensitive government and market information to Jeffrey Epstein when he was business secretary.

The claims surfaced after emails between the pair were made public in the latest release of documents known as the Epstein Files.”

The Daily Mail reported:

“A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: ‘Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office’.

‘He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, 23 February and has been taken to a London police station for interview’.

This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.

It came after police raided his homes in London and Wiltshire a fortnight ago.”

Epstein Hid Secret Files in Storage Units Across the US, May Include Unseen Evidence of Crimes

The secretly stashed Epstein files.

It’s long been known that late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein kept a trove of files on his ‘friends and clients’, but a new report by British paper The Telegraph reveals that he secretly hid computers, photographs, and other equipment in storage units scattered across the US.

It is also believed that he paid private detectives to shuffle the material around when police started closing in on him.

The New York Post reported:

“Financial records and emails […] revealed that the dead pedophile rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, some starting in 2003, and paid for them until 2019.

[…] The units were used to house items from Epstein’s homes, including computers and CDs from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James.”

Andrew accused of watching as girl ‘tortured with electrical shocks’ by Ghislaine Maxwell

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of watching a young girl, aged between six and eight years old, being subjected to electric shock torture.

The former prince, recently ousted from Royal Lodge, is alleged to have watched a woman being restrained on a table and “tortured with electrical shocks” by Ghislaine Maxwell. It’s thought these accusations surfaced in the Epstein files, with an FBI report from July 2020 detailing allegations of sexual abuse involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in Surrey during the mid-1990s.

The claim, reportedly originating from an anonymous tip-off, also suggests that other men observed the girl’s torture alongside Andrew. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently refuted any wrongdoing and charges against him.

This allegation, which emerged in the Epstein files released just weeks ago, asserts that the electric shocks were administered at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, Berkshire, reports the Express.

Surrey Police are encouraging individuals to share any information regarding non-recent human trafficking and sexual assault claims following separate allegations pertinent to that county. The force has confirmed that this appeal is unrelated to the electric shock torture allegations that appeared in the Epstein Files.

The force revealed it became aware of a redacted report alleging historic human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in Virginia Water village between 1994 and 1996.

Surrey Police confirmed they have found no evidence of the allegations being reported to them. A Surrey Police spokesperson stated: “After reviewing our systems using the limited information available to us, we found no evidence of these allegations being reported to Surrey Police.”

The dossier of allegations that have tumbled out of the Epstein files and led to Andrew’s dramatic downfall

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest for misconduct in public office follows a vast slew of allegations that have tumbled out of the explosive Epstein files.

The then Prince Andrew was handed the prestigious role of UK’s trade envoy in 2001 in a bid to provide him with a new lease of life after the end of his 22-year Royal Navy career.

For more than a decade, the former duke travelled the world seemingly unfettered – developing questionable friendships and lavishing taxpayers’ money on his luxury overseas sojourns along the way.

His penchant for taking long haul trips – often via desirable destinations including ski slopes and top golfing locations – earned him the nickname Air Miles Andy.

He was eventually forced to step down from his globe-trotting duties in July 2011, following months of public outcry over his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Now mounting claims suggest he may have exploited his position for something for more sinister than mere travel perks.

Illegal Aliens Break into North Carolina Man’s Home, Tie Him Up, Beat Him — Then Rape Him

While the radical left continues to push for open borders and “sanctuary” rhetoric, the consequences of their lawlessness are landing on the doorsteps of hardworking Americans in quiet, suburban neighborhoods.

A quiet neighborhood in Greenville was shattered in the early morning hours on Wednesday after two illegal aliens allegedly broke into a man’s home, tied him up, beat him with a weapon, and sexually assaulted him in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.

According to the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, 21-year-old Zaid Mayen and 20-year-old Jonathan David Garcia Larios have been arrested and charged in connection with the brutal home invasion.

Arrest warrants list the following charges:

  • First-degree sexual offense
  • First-degree kidnapping
  • Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury
  • First-degree burglary

Authorities say the suspects forcibly entered the home at 200 Louis Street with the intent to assault the victim.

According to the Reflector, the warrants state the men injured the victim with an edged weapon, restrained him against his will, and moved him from one place to another in order to inflict serious bodily injury and commit a forcible sex offense.

The victim, identified in the warrant as a male resident of the home, was transported by EMS to ECU Health Medical Center with injuries. Officials have not released further information regarding his medical status.

Sgt. Lee Darnell of the sheriff’s office described the case as “complex and evolving,” emphasizing that it was a targeted crime and not random.

Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, former ZAKA head, dies year after attempted suicide

Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, creator of ZAKA and alleged rapist, has died at the age of 62, a year after he attempted suicide and less than a month prior to his 63rd birthday.

One of the most well-known and colorful characters of Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist communities, Meshi-Zahav founded the famed medical search and rescue group, but his life was tainted by revelations of numerous allegations against him of rape, sexual assault and pedophilia.

Meshi-Zahav was an 11th generation Jerusalemite who, in his youth, headed the anti-Zionist demonstrations in the capital, and demonstrations against Sabbath violators, including throwing rocks at passing cars.

A grandson of Rabbi Yosef Scheinberger, the secretary of the Eida Hareidit Rabbinical Court, and with blood ties to the Rivlin family on his mother’s side, Meshi-Zahav was considered nobility in ultra-Orthodox circles.

He developed a special relationship with the police, despite being arrested several times after organizing anti-Zionist rallies.

Grand Jury INDICTS Democrat Former New Jersey Mayor and Police Sergeant for Drugging and Sexually Assaulting a Child He Met Online

A Democrat politician who once held executive office in Bergen County, while simultaneously serving in law enforcement, is now facing some of the most serious criminal charges imaginable after a grand jury handed down a sweeping indictment last week.

Andrew LaBruno, 44, of Dumont, a former Democrat mayor and current Jersey City police sergeant, has been indicted on multiple felony counts, including official misconduct, first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

LaBruno, who previously served as mayor of Dumont, New Jersey from 2020 to 2023 after holding a borough council seat, allegedly initiated contact with a juvenile online before arranging an in-person meeting at the child’s residence in Englewood while the victim’s parents were not home.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in the case, LaBruno reportedly sprayed an unknown substance into his hand and placed it over the victim’s mouth and nose, causing the minor to become dizzy and cognitively impaired prior to the alleged sexual assault.

Authorities were alerted to the situation after a 911 call from a concerned member of the public. Responding investigators found the juvenile in what court documents described as a state of “cognitive impairment.”

The indictment includes an additional charge of official misconduct, which prosecutors say stems from LaBruno allegedly identifying himself as a police officer during the encounter in an attempt to hinder his own apprehension, according to NJ.com.

Meet the Convicted Murderers and Child Rapists Set Free by Making NC Democratic Senate Hopeful Roy Cooper’s ‘Early Release’ List

Former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper agreed to fast-track the release of 3,500 inmates as part of a racial equity settlement with the NAACP—and the list included 51 convicts serving life sentences for murder or rape, the Free Beacon’s Andrew Kerr reports. The “early release” list, obtained by Cox’s WSOC-TV as Cooper campaigns for the state’s open Senate seat, came as part of a 2021 settlement with the NAACP, which sued the state over crowded prisons during the pandemic. The NAACP claimed COVID-era prison conditions were unconstitutional and disproportionately endangered black inmates.

Cooper’s administration assured state lawmakers that nobody who “committed a crime against a person” would be released early. That didn’t happen. Among the convicts on the list was Tony D. Hartsell, who “strangled and beat the 84-year-old North Carolina woman who lived across the street from him before stabbing her 44 times, mutilating her body beyond recognition,” writes Kerr. Also included was Lorenza D. Norwood, who burned a man alive; Jervon K. Wilks, convicted of sexually abusing a 7-year-old child; and Louis E. Boyd, who raped his 12-year-old stepdaughter. All walked free after decades behind bars.

Cooper’s campaign now insists the governor had nothing to do with the releases, arguing the inmates were already parole-eligible when the settlement was reached. More than 90 percent of the 51 lifers on the list, however, were released after the settlement took effect, raising fresh questions about Cooper’s record on crime as governor of the Tar Heel State. Cooper has already faced criticism over the issue thanks to his “racial equity” task force that pushed to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes. That policy led to the release of career criminal Decarlos Brown not long before he senselessly murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway train, the Free Beacon reported.
