Eric Swalwell says his ‘friends’ in Congress — Raskin, Schiff, Jeffries — were as bad as he was

After Rep. Eric Swalwell’s political self-immolation as a sex harasser, I had hoped that he’d go hide under some rock and not be seen nor heard from any more.

Wishful thinking.

The New York Times reported that he’s still harrassing the interns.

But it seems more significant that with no one wanting to know him anymore, he’s decided to take a few of his former “friends” down with him.

Shouldn’t this be investigated? Shouldn’t Sen. Adam Schiff be in the witness chair in congressional hearings telling us which women he harassed, and any records of payouts to sex-harassment victims with non-disclosure agreements be revealed? Shouldn’t Raskin? Shouldn’t Jeffries? 

And Swalwell should be invited back to Congress by congressional leaders with a red carpet to tell all he knows.

Notice that the named culprits are all, like Swalwell, considered attack dogs for the Democrats, meaning, their leadership tolerates their sex harassment so long as they bark on cue. Maybe we could hear a little about that, too.

Steven Tyler is headed to trial, following child sexual assault claims

A Los Angeles court has determined a child sexual assault case filed against Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, will proceed to trial.

The singer is accused of grooming, sexually assaulting and impregnating a 16-year-old Julia Misley in the 1970s. The suit, first filed in 2022 in Torrance, claims he “used his role, status, and power as a well-known musician and rock star” to exploit Misley. The complaint also argues Tyler admitted to the alleged crimes in his own memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” where he refers to her as his “teen bride.”

Earlier this week, a judge dismissed most of the case, citing the statute of limitations in Massachusetts, where the pair lived during their three-year relationship. But they allegedly crossed state lines while Tyler toured the country with his band, including to California. Because of California’s Child Victims Act – a 2020 statute that allowed a “lookback window” where alleged victims can file lawsuits regardless of a statute of limitations – a portion of the case will still be tried.

“This is a massive win for Steven Tyler. Today, the Court has dismissed with prejudice 99.9% of the claims against Mr. Tyler in this case,” Tyler’s lawyer David Long-Daniels said in a statement to Billboard. “The court has decided that only one night, fifty-plus years ago, out of a three-year relationship is allowed to remain.”

New York has a similar statute that was recently employed by singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in her case against Sean Combs. She filed a sex-trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against the music mogul in 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, just days before the expiration of a “lookback window.”

Predators are reaching children through apps, social media and now, video games

Children are being sexually exploited by predators lurking on the internet, social media apps, and now gaming platforms. It’s happening in small towns and big cities across the country, including Ohio.

“The monsters that we are chasing are now coming into your home with some device,” said Kirtland Police Chief Jamey Fisher.

Kirtland Police Detective Jake Scott is on a mission to stop it.

“I will pursue these relentlessly,” said Scott.

Two years ago, Kirtland Police signed an agreement with the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to investigate these types of crimes in their community. Case referrals began landing on Scott’s desk.

“Anywhere on the internet where there are children, there’s going to be adults who have a proclivity for sexual abuse of children trying to speak with those kids, groom those kids and foster relationships,” Scott said.

His first case involved 45-year-old Todd Oravecz, a Kirtland man who was arrested, indicted, and pleaded guilty to several charges, including receipt, distribution and transportation of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Agents found more than 100 child sexual abuse material images and videos on his electronic devices that included children under 12 years old.

Eric Swalwell Sent Women ‘Videos of Him Masturbating’ and Other Perverted Messages After Joining Snapchat to Restore ‘Faith’ in ‘Democracy’: Report

Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including “videos of him masturbating,” after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore “faith” in “democracy.”

In a bombshell report on Sunday – less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress after being accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women – CNN spoke to “more than a dozen” women who claimed the congressman had made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over the past decade.

Several women told CNN that the congressman had sent them sexually explicit messages on Snapchat after he became “one of the first lawmakers to join Snapchat” and was heralded in the media as “the Snapchat king of Congress,” according to CNN.

“We can restore a lot of faith that people have in their democracy by opening it up a little bit more,” Swalwell told The Hill in 2016 after joining the messaging service. “Snapchat is a great way to do that.”

However, it allegedly wasn’t long before the congressman began to use his Snapchat account for purposes other than politics.

One young woman claimed Swalwell would send her Snapchat messages about her future, before asking inappropriate questions such as, “What are you wearing?”

Two other women told CNN that Swalwell sent them “sexually explicit messages and unsolicited nude photos and videos of himself” in 2021, while a third woman also claimed to have received “sexually tinged messages and videos.”

One former congressional staffer allegedly developed a consensual sexual relationship with Swalwell after he began flirting with her on Snapchat in 2021.

During the relationship, Swalwell reportedly sent “nude photos of himself and videos of him masturbating,” which showed the congressman’s “face and naked body.”

The videos, which were saved by the woman, were shown to CNN.

“His stories would be his, like, congressional content, but then he would be sending me dick pics,” she alleged, adding that Swalwell sent her another “explicit video” late last year, just weeks before he announced his 2026 California gubernatorial campaign.

Man With Immigration Detainer Hold Charged in Alleged Kidnapping of 12-Year-Old Baltimore Girl

A 12-year-old girl was abducted in Cockeysville, which is in the Baltimore area of Maryland. The alleged kidnapper has an immigration detainer hold.

34-year-old Oscar Bladimir Argueta was charged with assault and kidnapping a middle school girl.

Argueta was denied bail at his court hearing on Friday. The alleged kidnapping took place this past Thursday.

Authorities responded Thursday morning after a female student said that she had been abducted.

CBS News Baltimore Reported:

A man is facing charges after Baltimore County police said he abducted a middle school student on Thursday, April 30.

Oscar Bladimir Argueta Argueta, 34, was charged with kidnapping and assault after the alleged incident in the Vintage Court and Cranbrook Road area of Cockeysville, officials said.

A judge denied Argueta bail Friday afternoon.

Police were called to Cockeysville Middle School around 7:50 a.m. after a student reported that she had been abducted.

“The student told officers that she was walking to school when a man approached, identifying himself as a family friend who had recognized her from church. He persuaded her to get into his gray Toyota Camry, telling her that her family sent him, according to police.” CBS News Baltimore reported.

After the girl got into the car, the accused took her to several locations before dropping her off at school. That is when she reported what happened to her.

After the police interviewed the girl’s mother, she said no one was permitted to pick up her daughter.

Argueta took her to a park and even stopped at a cemetery before the girl demanded he take her to school. He eventually listened to her and dropped her off at school.

According to the police, the suspect touched the girl inappropriately. He even climbed into the back seat and asked her, in Spanish, if she had a boyfriend. He even asked to kiss her.

After cursing at him and demanding to be taken to school, he complied. He also said he was sorry and told her not to tell anyone.

Argueta is being represented by a public defender and is looking at up to 40 years in prison if convicted of second-degree assault and kidnapping a minor.

Muslim religious leader arrested for abuse of multiple children at Queens mosque

A Muslim religious leader from a Queens mosque has been arrested for allegedly groping and molesting multiple young girls, according to police.

Tajul Islam, 55, was taken into custody on Monday by the Queens Child Abuse Squad. He has been charged with sexual abuse, forcible touching, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to police. He is a leader at the Masjid Bilal Queens Islamic Center in Jamaica.

Islam was booked at the 113th Precinct in Jamaica for the sexual crimes, which included the victimization of two 10-year-old girls, per a criminal complaint obtained by QNS.

According to the complaint, on the evening of April 21, Islam approached one of the 10-year-old girls and allegedly grabbed her breast as well as well as her inner thigh, per the complaint. He did so with another 10-year-old girl on April 27. Four hours afterward, he was arrested.

During his arraignment on Tuesday, Islam pleaded not guilty before Queens criminal Court Judge Sharifa Nasser-Cuellar. His bail has been set at $25,000, and he was also issued a temporary protection order by Judge Nasser-Cuellar.

Islam has no prior arrests leading up to being charged with the alleged sexual abuse earlier this week. The NYPD has asked if there are other victims with knowledge of the incidents or others to come forward. Anyone with information has been encouraged to call the NYPD’s Sex Crimes Hotline at 1-212-267-7273 or 1-646-610-7272.

Ex-Liberal MP continues fight against child sex charges

A former state MP will face a second child abuse trial after continuing to deny allegations he sexually assaulted a teenage boy in a communal toilet.

Rory Amon, 36, has consistently argued he thought a 13-year-old boy was of legal age before meeting him at the youth’s apartment block in 2017.

The former Liberal politician has admitted having sex with the teen on one occasion in the building’s car park toilet, but says he had a reasonable belief the boy was over 16.

The pair met online on an adults-only website.

After a NSW Supreme Court trial, jurors were discharged in March, having failed to reach a verdict over separate counts of indecent assault and the rape of a child.

Amon again pleaded not guilty to these two charges as he was arraigned on Friday.

An estimated two-week retrial will commence on November 9.

In March, the jury acquitted Amon of four counts of child rape, two counts of attempted child rape and two counts of indecent assault of a child.

These charges related to an alleged second meeting with the teen, which Amon denied occurred.

Islamic Sect Raided Over Sex Crime, Forced Marriage, and Slavery Allegations.

WHAT HAPPENED: More than 500 police officers conducted a raid on the Islamic Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) headquarters in Crewe, England, resulting in the arrest of sect members over allegations of sex offenses, human trafficking, forced marriage, and modern slavery.

 DETAIL: The group, founded in 2018 by Egyptian-American Abdullah Hashem, mixes Shia Islam with beliefs around aliens and the Illuminati. Authorities said the investigation stems from reports made last month involving one female victim, with alleged offenses dating back to 2023. Chief Superintendent Gareth Wrigley said police are treating the allegations with the utmost seriousness. Modern slavery has become a major issue in Britain, with some estimating that there are over 120,000 people living as modern slaves in the country.

 KEY QUOTE: “Today’s operation is the outcome of a detailed and robust investigation into reports of serious sexual offenses, forced marriage and modern slavery involving members of a religious group called Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light in Crewe.” – Ch Supt Gareth Wrigley, Cheshire Constabulary

 IMPACT: The arrests have prompted a thorough search of the premises, and authorities are working to provide advice and safeguarding to other group members. Nine arrests have been confirmed, all involving foreign nationals with citizenship in the United States, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Egypt. The case underscores the growing issues in Britain with foreign religious sects and migrant communities engaging in modern slavery and sexual exploitation.

Sickening new claims about men being gang raped and women killed in ‘sex games’ at Epstein’s Zorro ranch come to light in new documentary

Sickening new claims about men being gang raped and women killed in ‘sex games’ at Jeffrey Epstein‘s secluded New Mexico ranch have emerged in a new documentary.

A 60 Minutes Australia interview with Epstein survivors and investigators has unveiled some of the alleged abuse that occurred at the pedophile financier’s sprawling Zorro Ranch in Stanley, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe.

The FBI received a tip from a Zorro Ranch staffer in 2019 claiming two foreign girls had been buried on the estate, Democrat congresswoman Melanie Stansbury said.

The pair had ‘died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex,’ the tip stated, adding that their alleged burial was ordered by Epstein. 

Stansbury, who has reviewed the Epstein files and is leading the charge for justice, further claimed that men were drugged and raped at the ranch.

It is not the first time the lawmaker has alleged that men or young boys were being assaulted and trafficked by Epstein.

‘A man actually claims that he met Jeffrey Epstein, was brought to the ranch, he was drugged and he describes in detail a scene in which multiple young men were raped at the ranch in front of him after he was drugged,’ Stansbury told the documentary.

She added that Jeffrey Epstein was a ‘serial abuser’ and a ‘super predator.’

Chauntae Davies, who says she was abused across multiple Epstein properties from 2001 to 2005, told the documentary that Zorro Ranch was the ‘scariest’ of all.

She recalled how she would sit in her bedroom at the property like a ‘mouse in a trap’ as she waited for someone to knock on her door and say: ‘Jeffrey is ready for his massage now.’

ICE Nabs Illegal Alien Pedophile In Virginia; Sanctuary Officials Ignored Detainer

ICE has arrested an illegal alien child sex predator in Abigail Spanberger’s Virginia. Authorities there tried to protect him by declining an ICE detainer last year and releasing him back into the community.

Of course they did.

The suspect, Roni Mendez-Escobar, a Guatemalan national, faced charges including multiple felony counts of possession of obscene material and child pornography with intent to distribute.

Fairfax County’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement allowed him to remain free despite the detainer – exactly the outcome sanctuary policies are designed to produce.

This isn’t an isolated failure. It’s the predictable result of Virginia Democrats turning the state into a magnet for criminal illegal aliens while American families bear the cost. Spanberger ran as a “moderate,” yet her administration’s moves to limit cooperation with ICE have repeatedly put Virginia children and residents at risk.

Just weeks ago, ICE urged Spanberger not to release another criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, Misael Lopez Gomez, who allegedly bludgeoned his own three-month-old daughter to death with blunt force trauma in Fairfax.
