Serial Rapist Cop, Sentenced to 263 Years, Up for Parole After Doing Just 6 Years

A disgraced former Oklahoma City police officer, Daniel Holtzclaw, 29, was sentenced to 263 years in prison in 2016, after being convicted of numerous rapes and sexual assaults while on duty. Holtzclaw was convicted on 18 felony counts — including four counts of first-degree rape in December, 2015.

After serving a portion of this sentence, Holtzclaw appealed, maintaining his innocent since the beginning. In 2019, Holtzclaw tried to appeal the case, however, the evidence against him is so overwhelming, a judge refused to overturn his conviction.

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in August 2019 upheld the convictions of Holtzclaw. On Monday, however, Holtzclaw once again tried to get out of jail, getting yet another chance before Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. Luckily for his victims, once again, he was denied in a 5-0 vote.

Holtzclaw and his family have maintained his innocence since day one and claim that because the judge in his case, Oklahoma County District Judge Tim Henderson, was accused of sexual misconduct himself, that Holtzclaw must have been railroaded.

“I hope and pray more people finally see I truly was railroaded and wrongfully convicted,” he said in a statement. “I upheld my oath of office by protecting and serving my community, while Judge Henderson was allegedly abusing women and violating his oath. It’s time to reopen every one of Henderson’s cases, including mine, that was impacted by his sexual misconduct.”

Clearly his family is ignoring all the evidence in the case which is what led to the unprecedented sentence against this serial rapist cop.

Ghislaine Maxwell Found Guilty on Nearly All Charges

A jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty on five of the six charges in her sex-trafficking trial.

Accused of procuring young girls for her former boyfriend and serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to abuse, Maxwell faced six counts — a conspiracy charge (for agreeing to do the crime) paired with a substantive charge (for committing the crime) for each of the following: enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and sex trafficking a minor. She was found guilty of all, except the second count, enticement of an individual under the age of 17 to travel with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity.

Maxwell will likely face decades in prison. Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors charges carry a maximum of 40 years, while the other charges she faced carry potential prison terms of five to 10 years.

Why was Prince Andrew accuser not called in trial of Ghislaine Maxwell? Virginia Roberts was ‘available’ to give evidence in sex trafficking case but was not contacted by officials, court hears

Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts was ‘available’ to give evidence at Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex trafficking trial – but nobody called her, the court was told.

Miss Roberts – now Virginia Giuffre – was allegedly recruited as a schoolgirl sex slave by Maxwell and forced into abuse by Epstein and his friends, including the Duke of York, who strenuously denies the claims.

Miss Roberts has been a running feature of the case, having flown 32 times on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet with the multi-millionaire financier and Maxwell, as well as recruiting schoolgirl Carolyn for alleged abuse, jurors heard. Yet neither side has called the 38-year-old as a witness.

CNN Staffer Charged with Enticing Women and Their Underage Daughters to Engage in Sexual Activity

A CNN employee was charged Friday on three counts that he used a facility of interstate commerce to abuse underage girls.

Officials said a grand jury in Vermont indicted 44-year-old Stamford, Connecticut resident John Griffin of attempting to entice the girls to engage in sexual activity. He appeared in New Haven federal court via Zoom, where Judge Robert Spector said he would file an order requesting his transfer to Connecticut.

“According to the indictment, from April to July of 2020, Griffin utilized the messaging applications Kik and Google Hangouts to communicate with people purporting to be parents of minor daughters, conveying to them, among other ideas, that a ‘woman is a woman regardless of her age,’ and that women should be sexually subservient and inferior to men,” according to the Department of Justice statement on the case.

Epstein used Prince Andrew friendship to ‘lure’ victims, accuser claims

A woman who says she was repeatedly raped by Jeffrey Epstein claims the late pedophile used his close friendship with Prince Andrew to help lure his vulnerable victims, according to an interview Sunday.

Chauntae Davies told The Sun on Sunday how Epstein repeatedly bragged about how close he was with the Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson — even adorning his home with their photos.

“I was very aware of Jeffrey Epstein’s friendship with Prince Andrew and Fergie right away,” Davies, now 40, told the UK paper.

“It was one of several bragging tactics he used to further induce his power and privilege. He bragged a lot.

“He had framed photos of them in his residences. He bragged about how he’d lent money to the duchess,” she said, referring to the $24,000 Fergie borrowed and in 2011 called “a gigantic error of judgment.”

While Awaiting Jail for Demanding Sex for Leniency, Disgraced Cop Busted Trying to Have Sex with Child

Last month, disgraced Maui police officer, Brandon Saffeels, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for arresting a woman and later demanding sexual favors in exchange for his beneficial testimony at her trial. During the course of Saffeels’ trial, other victims came forward and this cop’s sadistic ways were exposed.

According to court documents, Saffeels arrested a woman for DUI in 2019. Apparently, the sick wheels in his head started spinning after her arrest, so he contacted her after the fact and told her that if she allowed him to have his way with her, he would throw his testimony at her trial.

The woman, a single mother, was scared to go to police with the story as she feared they would cover it up. So, she took her case straight to the media. She had the officer’s text messages and even recorded his calls in which he told her to come to his home where he would carry out his “bad intentions.”

After this mother of three made her case public on Hawaii News Now, Saffeels was arrested on numerous charges. After his arrest, other victims came forward alleging that Saffeels made similar advances toward them, including one woman who was the victim of a crime.

A total of four of them are now suing MPD.

In November, Saffeels took a plea deal and his first victim took the stand at his sentencing hearing to let him know how she felt.

“Am I still scared? Very. Do I worry about retaliation still? Yes,” said the woman, adding that Saffeels going to jail gave her some solace.

“I do feel like I’ve gotten a little of my power back. I feel like I can breathe again,” she said after hearing he’d be carrying out his 30 month sentence in another state. “I just encourage everyone else out there going though something like this to take a stand. Be brave. You’re not alone.”

Saffeels was not ordered to immediately report to jail and instead his sentencing was deferred until January 7, 2022 where he would be sent to a federal facility in Oregon. That plea will likely be thrown out now, however, as this cop is unable to control his sick desires.

After his conviction, while waiting to serve his prison sentence, this disgraced cop was busted again — this time, trying to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. Apparently, he wanted to create one more victim before being locked up. Luckily, however, that 13-year-old girl was actually an undercover agent with Operation Keiki Shield — a joint operation by county, state and federal agencies to track down child predators.

UK: Romanian Sex Trafficker Can’t Be Deported After Judge Ruled Jail Would Affect Her Mental Health

A Romanian who illegally trafficked young girls into sex slavery in the Czech Republic cannot be deported back to her home country to serve her sentence, after a British judge ruled jail would affect her mental health.

Ildiko Enderle, a 45-year-old Romanian sex trafficker, was placed on Europol’s Most Wanted List, after selling teenage girls from the Czech Republic and her home country into slavery in the Czech Republic. Enderle promised them jobs and accomodation in journey, but the girls, some as young as 15, instead became prostitutes at a nightclub called Lady Bar 69. Enderle reportedly beat the girls repeatedly if they refused to sleep with a “client.”

Enderle was sentenced to 7 years in prison by a Romanian court in 2014, but escaped the country and fled to the UK. She was eventually found by Manchester police in December 2019, after 4 European Arrest Warrants were placed out for her. Initially, the Romanian sex trafficker was expected to extradited to Romania, after Westminster Magistrates Court ordered her deportation.

However, last month, Judge James Holman, of the High Court of England and Wales, blocked her removal from the country. Enderle had claimed that because her daughter and partner had now settled in the UK, she would suffer “anxiety” at the prospect of not seeing them again. Despite Holman condemning her “vile” crimes, he claimed that extraditing her to Romania would somehow be too “oppressive.”
