After Police Ignored Her, Woman Shoots Cop Husband for Sexually Abusing Kids at a Daycare She Owns

A former Baltimore cop and his now-estranged wife are both currently sitting in a Maryland jail and the story of how they got there is quickly becoming a viral cause for support. Shanteari Weems, 50, shot her husband, James S. Weems Jr., 57, in the head, after learning that he allegedly sexually abused multiple children at the daycare she owns in Baltimore County.

#FreeShanteari is now trending on Twitter as the internet and public at large demand her release from jail. Many are also asking how they can contribute to her legal defense since GoFundMe deleted her fundraiser.

The Weems’ story unfolded last week on July 20 and July 21 when Shanteari began receiving text messages from the parents of children she looks after at her Lil Kidz Kastle daycare. The parents were informing her that James had been molesting children at the daycare.

According to court documents, Shanteari said during an interview with police that she had received “multiple messages and phone calls from parents and teachers” about molestation at her daycare.

Qiana Johnson, who led a group of protesters outside of Shanteari’s courtroom appearance on Monday, said Shanteari had tried to go the traditional route and report her child molesting husband to police — but her reports fell on deaf ears — so she took matters into her own hands after the cops ignored her.

“She’s placed complaints to the proper authorities before… and her cries for help went unanswered,” Johnson told WUSA9. “Our public, our government, did not keep her or the children safe.”

Shanteari had apparently planned to “hurt” James at the hotel that weekend and when she confronted him, he allegedly came toward her at which point she shot him, twice — non-fatally.

According to the Baltimore Banner, D.C. police also found a notebook in the hotel room with handwritten notes in which the author wrote that they wanted to shoot the victim but not kill him, but maybe cause paralysis, and that they “want these kids to get justice.” The notebook also included an informal will distributing belongings.

After shooting James, a subsequent standoff ensued and Shanteari barricaded James and herself in the hotel room. When police attempted to gain entry into the room, she reportedly screamed: “If you come in, I’m going to shoot myself.” And when they asked about her husband, she yelled, “F him—he’s a child molester!”

With police at the door, James yelled for help and Shanteari allegedly responded with “Shut the f up… I will kill you!”

Eventually, Shanteari surrendered without incident and was taken into police custody.

Child rapist and murderer lauded as ‘feminist’ and ‘advocate’ for LGBTQ Rights

Patricia Elaine Trimble, a biological male who raped two 9-year-old girls and who murdered a developmentally disabled cell mate while incarcerated has been recently celebrated in left-wing media as “a transgender woman, feminist, and activist.” Trimble has been spending their time in prison advocating for the rights of “the incarcerated LGBTQ+ community.”

Trimble is a regular contributor to the The Prison Journalism Project, a non-profit organization that provides a platform for prison inmates. In 2019, Trimble published an academic paper in the Harvard Kennedy School’s Student Publication LGBTQ Policy Journal about the “systemic discrimination” against the LGBTQ community, of which Trimble only recently became a member. Trimble, 59, decided to transition to a woman in their mid-fifties after learning about transgender identity through an LGBTQ organization that Trimble reached out to following an alleged assault.

Vice published a rosy portrait of Trimble in 2019 that focused on the inmate’s transgender journey, but never mentioned the double child rape convictions and only glossed over the murder charge. Little is known about Trimble’s crimes, who after assuming a new name and identity, has been able to evade public disclosure.

According to the 1983 Missouri Court of Appeals case State v. Trimble, 654 S.W.2d 245, Trimble was convicted on two counts of kidnapping, four counts of sodomy, one count of rape and one count of sexual abuse in the first degree. The case document details how Trimble lured two nine-year-old girls into a marshy, wooded area, where he orally and vaginally raped them. Trimble, then aged 20, gained the girls’ trust by playing with them, then tied them up with a rope and transported them in his car to another location, where the brutal rapes took place.

In a blurb for Trimble’s 2021 book, Finding Purpose: One Transgender Woman’s Journey, Trimble claims to be innocent of the rape charges, “Although Ms. Trimble was charged, convicted and sentenced to over a hundred years for a crime she did not commit, she is also serving a life sentence for a murder she committed in 1979.”

In addition to the rape of two small girls, in 1979 Trimble raped, tortured, and murdered his prison cellmate, a developmentally disabled man named Jerry James Everett. The court described Trimble’s treatment of Everett as routine “physical and sexual humiliation,” saying that Trimble made a “slave” out of him. The document states that Everett was in jail awaiting trial for stealing a van, and that he was “slow, and may never have fully comprehended what was happening to him.”

Cop Arrested for Showing up to 911 Call & Masturbating in Front of Family as Well as Multiple Sexual Assaults

Over the years, the Free Thought Project has reported on some utterly disturbing behavior by members of American law enforcement — up to and including public masturbation. Most of these incidents, however, involved cops who were off duty. However, a family in San Jose found out in April that cops responding to 911 calls can and will show up to a call and think they are on a porn set.

That officer was Matthew Dominguez — who began masturbating in front of the family — and has since been charged and arrested. After his case garnered national headlines, more victims came forward and detailed multiple allegations of sexual assaults.

One of the women says Dominguez turned off his body camera during a traffic stop before sexually assaulting her. Another woman detailed a sexual assault that took place at a barbeque. Notably, both of these women filed their complaints before Dominguez was caught masturbating in front of a family, and both of these women had their complaints dismissed.

Only after Dominguez was arrested and the women came forward again, did the department launch another investigation which led to additional sexual battery charges against the officer. On July 7, prosecutors added another misdemeanor sexual battery charge based on the woman’s account.

As TFTP reported at the time, on April 21, a family in San Jose called 911 to report that a mentally ill family member was being violent. Officer Dominguez, a 32-year-old who has been with the department for four years, showed up on the scene with two other officers.

Being the senior officer, Dominguez sent the two officers away to locate the allegedly violent family member. After he made himself alone with the women in the home, he decided it was time to act. As the two officers left, Dominguez started to masturbate in front of two daughters before the mother walked into the room.

When the mother walked in, seeing the two girls in shock, Dominguez took to exposing himself to her as well. Authorities said the victims were “shocked and scared” and ran away after realizing what was going on. Two male relatives were notified about Dominguez’s sick behavior as another witnessed him in the dining room masturbating as well.

Exactly what possesses a police officer to begin masturbating at a crime scene or even to think that it would be acceptable, is mind blowing. Yet here we are.

It would take nearly three weeks for Dominguez to be arrested and eventually he was booked and charged with indecent exposure. He has since been placed on administrative leave.

Transgender Former Cop Arrested After Allegedly Befriending, Sexually Abusing Children

Diana Guevara, a former police officer who transitioned to the opposite sex, was arrested in Citrus County, Florida, on charges related to sexual activity with minors after allegedly fostering relationships with children for the purpose of sexual abuse.

Guevara, who is biologically male but identifies as a transgender woman, was a Miami-Dade police officer prior to transitioning, according to a 2017 Miami Herald article touting the benefits of sex change surgeries. Guevara was arrested July 13 on charges of unlawful activity with certain minors, transmitting harmful materials to minors and four counts of lewd and lascivious battery, according to a Citrus County Sheriff’s Office press release.

A parent allegedly overheard one of the victims talking to another child about engaging in sexual activities with Guevara and reported it to deputies, according to the release. The same victim said they received explicit photos and videos from Guevara.

Victims said they had engaged in sexual activity with Guevara during separate police interviews, and investigators found evidence to support the victims’ claims about Guevara sending explicit images over social media, according to the press release.

‘Scrubs’ co-executive producer Eric Weinberg arrested on multiple sexual assault charges

Eric Weinberg, a Hollywood producer who worked as a co-executive producer on hit shows such as “Scrubs” and” Californication,” was arrested in Los Angeles on alleged sexual crimes committed over the past decade, police said.

Weinberg was picked up by cops at his home in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles around noon on Friday for a number of sexual assaults he’s accused of committing in LA between 2012 and 2019, the Los Angeles Police Department announced on Thursday.

According to police, the producer and writer would prey on women in their 20s and 30s in “grocery stores, coffee shops and other public places,” where he would approach them and tell them he was a photographer and invite them to his home for an alleged photo shoot.

Once the unsuspecting victims arrived at the residence, he would sexually assault them, cops said.

Police said they believe there are additional victims that could date back as late as the early 1990s. Cops urged any other possible victims to reach out to the department.

He’s currently being held on a $3,225,000 bond.

The case is expected to be turned over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Deadline reported.

Hollywood producer accused of murdering two women could have more victims

A Hollywood producer charged with the murder of a model and her friend who overdosed on drugs was slapped with additional sexual assault charges for unrelated cases — and there could be more victims, LA County District Attorney George Gascón said.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Gascón formally announced David Pearce was charged with the deaths of model Christy Giles and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, whose bodies were dumped at two separate hospitals on Nov. 13, 2021.

Pearce, 37, was initially arrested the following month and charged for allegedly raping and sexually assaulting four women.

On Tuesday, Gascón said investigators found enough additional evidence to link Pearce with the deaths of Giles and Cabrales-Arzola, and the rape and sexual assault of three additional victims.  

“We knew that this was going to be a lengthy investigation, and we started with the charges we knew that we could prove,”  Gascón said at the press conference. “Most had to do with the using and the administration of drugs.
