Powerful LGBTQ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign welcomes man they know is convicted PEDOPHILE to gala, after previously handing him prestigious award

A prominent North Carolina LGBTQ advocacy group welcomed a known-convicted pedophile to their gala – despite knowing about his criminal past. 

Chad Turner, 45, was one of the attendees at the February 10 Human Right Campaign annual event, called ‘Without Exception,’ that was sponsored by Bank of America.

HRC Press Secretary Brandon Wolf and Democrat State Senator Lisa Grafstein both spoke at the dinner that was held at the Le Meridien Charlotte. Turner was previously awarded an honor by the HRC, who refused to say at the time whether they knew of his child abuser past, Reduxx reported. 

Turner, a former youth minister, was accused by three boys of sexual abuse in 1998 when he was 20 or 21 years old. The victim he was convicted of attacking was 14 and woke up to find the predator fondling his genitals. 

He served only two years of a 10-year sentence for committing the lewd acts on a minor under the age of 16. After his parole, he was ordered to enroll in North Carolina’s sex offender registry.

Despite his criminal past, Turner, who is the Chief Executive Officer at the Carolina LGBT + Chamber of Commerce, has managed to become a prominent member of the Charlotte LGBTQ advocacy community.

Ex-school officer accused of raping 2 teens in West Richland. One was a former student

A former Yakima school resource officer is now facing charges for a sexual relationship with a teen girl and for raping her drunk friend. Prosecutors filed charges on Thursday against Elias Huizar, 39, of West Richland, for second-degree rape, third-degree child rape, as well as two counts of providing alcohol to minors. Huizar is out of the Benton County jail after posting a $200,000 bond. He is expected to back in court Feb. 15 to enter a plea to the charges. Police began investigating the claims when Huizar’s 17-year-old girlfriend, their 9-month-old son and her teenage friend approached Benton County sheriff’s deputies in Benton City on Feb. 3, according to court documents.

They claimed that Huizar sexually assaulted the younger teen while she was unconscious after drinking at his home. When West Richland police went to his home on Highlands Boulevard, he refused to open the door and triggering a two-hour standoff until the Tri-Cities Regional SWAT team forced their way into the house. His girlfriend’s age raised questions from prosecutors, who felt it was likely that they had a sexual relationship before she could legally consent. But according to court documents, this wasn’t the first time rumors about a sexual relationship between the couple had surfaced. When he was a school resource officer at her school, he got a protection order against the then 13-year-old girl after she allegedly told others they had a sexual relationship.

Madeline McCann disappearance: Bombshell claim about chief suspect Christopher Brueckner

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Maddie McCann allegedly confessed to a friend and petty criminal the British toddler ‘didn’t scream’ after she was ripped from her parent’s holiday home, never to be seen again.

Madeleine McCann was just three years old when she vanished from her bed at her parent’s holiday home in the coastal town of Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3, 2007, sparking one of the world’s most enduring cold cases.

While no one has ever been charged with the toddler’s disappearance, German authorities in June 2020 revealed convicted rapist Christian Brueckner was their prime suspect. This week, he faces trial in Germany on unrelated charges.

Mr Brueckner, who is known under German privacy laws as Christian B, stands accused of raping a 14-year-old and two other women, as well as sexually assaulting other children, and is currently in jail convicted of rape.

Prosecutor defends no prison time for trans daycare molester

The prosecutor who signed off on the plea deal in the case of a transgender daycare worker who sexually abused an infant says he believes the “sentence that the defendant served was appropriate for what could be proven in court.” 

“The defendant pled guilty to sexual misconduct and received a sentence of twelve months,” McCracken County Commonwealth’s attorney Dan Boaz told The Spectator in an exclusive statement. “The defendant served over 300 days in jail, primarily in solitary confinement, prior to entering the guilty plea. As the case developed, there were contradictions as sometimes happens and a plea bargain was entered. As stated, the defendant served over 300 days in jail.

“Ultimately, any plea bargain that is reached is my responsibility and I believe the sentence that the defendant served was appropriate for what could be proven in court.” 

Reduxx first reported on the case involving Maria Childers, a female-identifying male who works at a daycare in Paducah, Kentucky. Childers was accused of molesting a baby while changing her diaper. Childers was arrested in February 2023 based on an anonymous tip to the police claiming that Childers had touched the little girl’s clitoris inappropriately and police interviews with employees at the daycare corroborating the report. A female coworker told police that Childers rubbed the baby’s private area in a “circular motion,” and said, “She likes it. It just made her day.” 

Childers was charged with one count of first-degree sexual abuse of a victim under twelve and three counts of first-degree criminal abuse of a child under twelve. Childers was originally held in solitary confinement at McCracken County Jail on a $100,000 bond, which was reduced to $5,000 after his lawyer, transgender activist Madison Leach, complained that Childers couldn’t access his estrogen treatments. Childers was released in January 2024 and quickly struck a plea deal with prosecutors.

The deal saw the felony charges dropped down to a single misdemeanor count of class A sexual misconduct. Judge Joe Roark sentenced Childers to a twelve-month penalty, but with a conditional discharge for six months. If Childers abides by conditions set by the court, he will serve no time in prison.

Former police officer from Buckland, Mass. pleads guilty to possessing child porn, secretly filming nude girl

A former police officer from a small town in Franklin County pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and posing and videotaping a child sexually without her knowledge, the District Attorney announced Tuesday.

Jacob Wrisley, 42, was a part-time police officer in Bernardston and Buckland, where he lives. He was sentenced to 4 to 5 years in state prison and a 5-year probation period after his release, Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan announced.

Wrisley was found with ten thousands of images and videos of child pornography, and some of the victims were identified. According to the DA, Wrisley was a sworn officer when he victimized a young girl who was 8 to 10 years old, and investigators also found images he took of clothed children playing in public places in Franklin County.

Investigators could not identify the “vast majority” of the children in the images found, but the assistant district attorney said his crimes were not “victimless.” 

The investigators also found organized folders on his devices “labeled with graphic, degrading names and containing images of exploited children.”

NYC public school aide obsessed with ‘queer vampires’ accused of sexually molesting 8-year-old girl

A former aide at a Harlem public school in New York City has been arrested on child sex crime charges.

Miles (Myles) McNeal, 25, of Yonkers, who uses “they/he” pronouns and who during his free time before the incident would rant about topics ranging from “sexy” and “queer” vampire stories to the “white supremacy” of the “capitalist system,” has been accused of sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl over nearly a year.

McNeal has been charged with child sex abuse, using a child in a sexual performance, and other lesser counts, court records show. He is being held at Rikers Island. McNeal pleaded not guilty to the charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday.

He was arrested on Thursday by detectives with the Manhattan Child Abuse Squad. A judge set his bail at $75,000 cash or $200,000 bond.

According to charging documents, McNeal first began to target the 8-year-old student victim on Sept. 8, 2022. He allegedly molested and took nude photos of the child at the school. The abuse lasted until at least Aug. 18, 2023, prosecutors said. NYPD released a mugshot of McNeal on Satuday with arresting details.

Woman uncovers HEINOUS crimes of her ‘charming’ grandfather – who physically and sexually abused his own children while posing as a neighborhood nice guy – as she attempts to unravel his terrifying links to multiple unsolved MURDERS

A woman has launched a chilling investigation into the sexual and physical abuse of her step-grandfather as she questions whether his crimes could have escalated to multiple murder.

Sierra Barter, from California, has become a central figure in Max’s upcoming four-part docuseries titled The Truth About Jim as she sets out to confront her family’s traumatic past.

The amateur investigator will begin by unraveling the horrific abuse suffered by relatives at the hands of Jim Mordecai who, to most, was a respected teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area.

But the family have now detailed their suspicions that the former patriarch, who died in 2008, could have been responsible for a string of deaths that have gone unsolved for decades.

Many believed that Jim ‘seemed like a really nice teacher’ but this was by no means the full story.

‘There are a lot of people still to this day that look up to him but it’s far darker,’ one woman ominously admits.

Sierra then explains: ‘My step-grandfather was a man named Jim Mordecai. My entire life I have heard horror stories about him.’

Jim was accused of sexual and physical abuse, which included extensive beatings, that left his family ‘terrified.’

‘He either was the most charming man that you were ever going to meet or he was your worst nightmare,’ another woman adds.

The trailer cuts to Jim nonchalantly walking around the family’s living room as his own stepdaughter candidly divulges: ‘Being sexually assaulted by your step-parent who happens to be a teacher… it just made me shut down.’

And it seems that it was Sierra’s mom Shannon Barter who first mentioned that she thought Jim’s crimes could have been even more sinister.

Sitting with her head in her hands, Shannon mutters: ‘I’m just trying to figure out when I started thinking that he killed people.’

Maine Police to Probe Predator Poacher’s Bust To Ensure Rights of Alleged Pedo Weren’t Violated

Police in Maine say they’re investigating the Predator Poacher group’s recent bust of an alleged pedophile, claiming they want to ensure the rights of the suspect weren’t violated.

In footage recorded by group leader Alex Rosen, a Somerset County officer can be heard telling Rosen he was under orders not to accept evidence from the group, which had just garnered a taped confession of guilt from an alleged child predator they’d baited online, and that only information given to the officer by the suspect could be accepted.

“We had a catch today in Maine where the PREDATOR admits to real life victims, child porn, an attraction to infants, and sexual intent with a 13-year-old decoy… All of this was bundled into a 2 hour long confession, and Somerset county cops didn’t want to even view the evidence. Instead they let a dangerous predator drive off…” Rosen documented on X Sunday, tagging the Maine State Police in the post.

Rosen published screenshots of graphic text message conversations exchanged with the alleged child predator, who believed he was speaking to a 13-year-old before attempting to go meet the child in person.

Toddler, two, is found dead in home of Massachusetts Police Lieutenant James Feeley more than a month after he was charged with child rape

A two-year old girl was found unresponsive at the home of a longtime Massachusetts cop who was arrested last month for allegedly raping a child under the age of 12.

Winthrop Police lieutenant James Feeley, 56, is currently being held on $200,000 bail on charges including aggravated rape of a child and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14, and was therefore not at the home when the toddler was found.

A 911 call was received at 10:20am on Friday morning. When emergency services arrived on the scene, the youngster was rushed to the hospital where the girl died, reports Boston25.

The child was rushed to hospital in the fire chief’s own car as they were first to arrive. Two EMT’s performed CPR on the toddler.

‘They made the decision to transport this child to Massachusetts General Hospital in the back of the fire chief’s vehicle,’ Winthrop Police Chief Terence Delehanty said.

‘The fire department did a heroic job today and made decisive decisions under emergency conditions to get this child the medical treatment necessary as soon as possible,’ said Chief Delehanty.

An initial investigation ‘indicates no signs of foul play or physical trauma. ‘We are awaiting an autopsy to determine cause of death,’ a spokesperson for Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement.

The sex offenders who commit crimes as men before transitioning into women: The faces of dangerous crooks who ‘switched gender’ when faced with the prospect of prison

When Sophie Louise Carter was caught with indecent images of underage children she was a tree surgeon known as Dominic.

But by time the 39-year-old was hauled before court to face sentence, dressed in a pink-t-shirt and shorts with pink nail polish on, she identified as a woman.

The criminal is one of a number of trans sex offenders who committed their crimes as men before transitioning while facing justice or behind bars.

The spate of recent cases was brought into focus by the jailing of Isla Bryson in Scotland. The rapist was convicted of sex attacks on two women, a crime she committed while still a man.

Her case sparked uproar after she was initially sent to an all-female prison before being moved to a male facility. Since then a number of similar cases have been brought before the courts.

In the latest, Abigail Waller, who was jailed for child sex offences while living as a man named ‘Jamie’, returned to the dock just three years later to face new charges – now identifying as a woman named ‘Abi’ after transitioning in prison.

With Waller behind bars for a second time, MailOnline looks into the cases of sex offenders who committed their crimes as men but arrived in court to face trials as women.
