Cutting govt spending is NOT easy - or they'd have
done it right after WW2.

Bureaucracies get larger. 'Benefits' get broader.
Cheaters get bolder. 'Dependency' and EXPECTATIONS
keep expanding. Alternatives vanish. The politics
outrank any common sense.

The UK seems a terminal case of all these factors.

The USA isn't THAT far behind, just 'bigger', which
kinda hides the issues.

Look ... everybody WANTS "Free Money" - and are SURE
they absolutely DESERVE it. Complex moral/ethical
justifications will be invented and pols HAVE to go
along with it generation after generation until it
is just absolutely ENTRENCHED and there's Nothing Else.
Individuals, industries ....

Good luck to Musk and Ramaswamy - but I think it'd
take a nuclear apocalypse or alien invasion to
significantly alter the equation. It goes on
until it, necessarily, IMPLODES. Then you HAVE
your 'apocalypse' ...

Lame.

(WBFF) — A Baltimore City School teacher was arrested in connection to a missing 12-year-old girl, according to Baltimore County Police.

Detectives with the Baltimore County Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit arrested 24-year-old Lewis Laury on Monday, July 1, 2024, police said.

The girl was reported missing on June 21 and found on Thursday at Laury’s address. Laury lived in the same apartment complex as the 12-year-old, according to charging documents. Laury was not present when U.S. Marshals located the girl.

Detectives received information about an inappropriate relationship between Laury and a minor.

According to court records, the girl used a friend’s phone to contact Laury.

Laury has been charged with second-degree rape and sexual offense in the third degree, according to police.

He is currently held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

FOX45 reached out to Baltimore City Schools for a comment. They said they are still gathering information and do not have a statement at this time.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore police arrested three male teens all ages 14 were charged with sexual assault and as adults.

According to police, on Thursday, detectives arrested Wilmer Ramos of the 800 block of N. Monroe Street, Phillip Worrell of the 1800 block of Riggs Avenue, and Nile Campbell of the 2500 block of Harlem Avenue. Each have been charged with first- and second-degree rape.

Police say on Feb. 6, at approximately 10 p.m., four juvenile suspects followed a 19-year-old woman after she got off an MTA bus and walked into the 300 block of North Fulton Avenue. Three suspects forced the victim into a rear yard, one at gunpoint and sexually assaulted her.

A fourth juvenile, age 12 who was present during the sexual assault, has been identified and was charged as a juvenile.

Neighbors came out of their home and interrupted the assault, causing the suspects to flee.

Police say, Baltimore City School Police contacted sex offense detectives after seeing news reports with suspect photos. School police recognized two of the suspects and the other two were identified soon after.

The suspects were positively identified by the victim and warrants were issued for three teens.

Suspects Ramos, Worrell and Campbell have all been charged as adults and are currently being held at Central Booking.

TOWSON, Md. (WBFF) — The Baltimore man who raped three Towson University students in Towson last year has been sentenced to 60 years in prison, according to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office.

According to prosecutors, 28-year-old Quantze Davis threatened the women at gunpoint along Allegheny Avenue. Davis made them go into an alley, according to prosecutors and forced them to perform a sex act on him.

The women called police immediately after the rape, according to prosecutors.

(WBFF) — According to the latest BPD data released on December 18th, robberies in the Southeast district are up 83% in a 28-day period.

That data is compared to the same time period last year.

Those numbers include all robberies, meaning personal, commercial and carjackings.

According to a crime dashboard, six carjackings, 10 commercial robberies and 51 personal robberies have taken place in the Patterson Park neighborhood so far this year.

While the data does not break down the age of the suspects, many residents, like Arch McKown, believe the majority of the crimes are being committed by juveniles.

“It’s a major source of for all of us in the community to see the same kids that are coming back and here and are committing violent crimes of opportunity, like armed carjackings," McKown said.

McKown says some of the crimes being committed in the Southeast district, may be going unreported.

“Latino folks who get robbed, often times that don’t report those robberies, right. So those go unreported. I hear about them sometimes through the grapevine," McKown said.

A convicted rapist was charged with murder and attempted sexual assault Friday in the killing of a visiting nurse at a Connecticut halfway house for sex offenders in October — a crime that spurred calls for better safety measures for home health care workers.

Authorities added the charges against Michael Reese, 39, as he appeared in state court in Danielson for a related larceny and drug paraphernalia case. Police arrested him on those allegations as he was leaving the Willimantic halfway house on the day when Joyce Grayson was found dead in the basement on Oct. 28. Officers said Reese had some of Grayson’s possessions on him.

Grayson, a 63-year-old mother of six and a nurse for 36 years, had gone to the house to administer medication to Reese. Police responded there when someone reported she had missed later appointments.

Reese was charged with murder, felony murder and attempted first-degree sexual assault, according to the court clerk’s office. Additional details of the allegations were not immediately available.

Reese’s public defender did not immediately return phone and emails messages seeking comment Friday.

Grayson’s family was relieved that the murder charge was filed, said their lawyer, Kelly Reardon.

“They would like to thank the police for gathering the evidence needed to, hopefully, ensure that Michael Reese is convicted of this horrific and senseless crime,” Reardon said in a statement.

New details of the killing emerged Friday with the release of the arrest warrant for Reese. Grayson was strangled and was found naked from the waist down, except for her socks, according to the warrant. She also had blunt-force injuries to her head, torso and extremities, the warrant said, citing an autopsy by the chief medical examiner’s office.

Testing also showed that DNA found on Grayson’s body was highly likely Reese’s DNA, the warrant said.

Grayson’s daughter called police to request a well-being check after Grayson missed some appointments after Reese, the warrant said. The daughter said she used a phone location app and it said Grayson was at the address of the halfway house, according to the document.

Police also said the Department of Correction recorded phone calls Reese made while detained on the larceny and drug paraphernalia charges that appear to implicate him in the killing.

“Basically, bro, it was a robbery gone wrong, bro. A robbery gone accident, that’s it,” Reese said on one of the calls, according to the warrant.

In another phone conversation, Reese said he had started using drugs again and it led him to do “what happened,” the warrant said. He also said that he would take a plea bargain, according to the document.

“I’m going to take the first offer that they give me as long as the charges are right,” he said, according to the warrant. “I don’t care, like, I’m, I’ve already come to terms that this is it for me.”

Grayson was a nurse for the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services for 26 years before serving as a visiting nurse for over a decade, according to her family. She also was a beloved foster parent, taking in nearly three dozen children and being honored with the state’s Foster Parent of the Year award in 2017.

After her death, state and federal lawmakers renewed pushes to prevent violence against health care workers.

Reese, who was on probation after serving more than 14 years in prison for stabbing and sexually assaulting a woman in 2006 in New Haven, was taken into police custody while leaving the halfway house on the day Grayson was killed. He was released from prison in late 2020 and was sent back to detention two times for violating probation, state records show.

Authorities said he had some of Grayson’s belongings, including credit cards, and was charged with violating probation, larceny and using drug paraphernalia.

The warrant said he drove Grayson’s car to a bank and a local convenience store and used Grayson’s debit card to withdraw more than $400 before returning to the house and getting arrested. Police said surveillance video showed Reese at the bank and store, and his GPS monitoring device for his probation showed him near those locations at the same times.

A judge on Friday set bail at $2 million on the new charges. Reese has been detained on bail since his arrest. He is due back in court on June 7.

Reardon said Grayson’s family, who believe her death was preventable, will soon be filing a lawsuit. She declined to name the defendants, but has said the family is seeking answers to an array of questions including if there were failures of oversight of Reese by the state, including probation officials, and the company that runs the halfway house.

The state Judicial Branch, which oversees probation, says it does not comment on cases involving possible litigation.

The family also wants to know whether Grayson’s employer, Elara Caring, adequately protected her. Elara’s chairman and chief executive, Scott Powers, has said company workers were shocked and saddened over Grayson’s death, and the company was reviewing existing safety protocols.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — A Schenectady man will spend the next four years in State Prison after he raped a 17-year-old girl in a Quail Street home in 2019. Buba Barra, 24, will also be on probation for 10 years after he gets out.

On August 1, Barra was found guilty of third-degree rape and third-degree criminal sex act for attacking the teen at a college party. According to court documents, the assault happened on Dec. 5, 2019, at 241 Quail Street.

Early that morning, Barra lured the victim into a bedroom, pushed her onto the floor, and raped her. He engaged not only in sexual intercourse but also in anal sexual conduct with the teen, without her consent.

Schenectady man arraigned on murder charge
“You may think that you broke me, but I am not broken,” the victim said in an impact statement. “I’ve continued with my life and moved it forward in a happy, healthy, and productive way. I’ve continued my schooling, and I’ve started a family. I’m a survivor. I know you thought that you’d continue to live your life, be social, and go without consequences, but justice is finally being served.“

On top of his prison sentence, Barra will be required to register as a sex offender, and an order of protection has been issued on behalf of the victim. Though he was sentenced to four years on each charge, the prison terms will run concurrently—something Albany County Court Judge Andra Ackerman wishes she could change. “If I thought that I could legally sentence you to consecutive time, I would,” the jurist said.

Man sentenced to 7 years after assaulting girlfriend
“When she told you she didn’t want to be anything more with you than friends, you coaxed her
into a dark room, you locked the door, and you took something that she didn’t agree with,” continued Judge Ackerman. “You raped her… You showed zero remorse, you showed zero acceptance of responsibility. You treated this young woman’s body like an object to be taken at any cost. You showed her no compassion, and you showed her no mercy. Repeated attempts she made to get you off of her went unheard. Her words, to you, were empty.“

Assistant District Attorney Caroline Murray handled the prosecution in this case. Assistant Public Defender Beau Melita was tasked with defending Barra.

Joan Toribio

LITCHFIELD >> As Joan Toribio was handcuffed and led out of a courtroom at the Litchfield Judicial District courthouse Tuesday morning to begin a nine-month prison sentence for second-degree sexual assault, his family burst into tears.

Toribio’s sentencing is a final chapter in a case that drew national headlines after he and a football teammate were arrested for sexually assaulting two separate 13-year-old girls on the same February night earlier this year. After Toribio and his friend, Edgar Gonzalez, were arrested, fellow athletes and classmates took to social media to bully the victims, calling them “whores” and “snitches.”

The night before the sentencing, a porch light at the former Torrington High School football player’s home was off. Except for the blue glare of a television lighting the window sill, there were no signs of activity. Inside, Toribio clung to his final moments of freedom.

A woman who identified herself as Toribio’s sister pulled up to the family home, a modest apartment complex in Torrington on Highland Avenue, and an unassuming epicenter for a rape case that garnered national attention, drew comparisons to a similar one in Steubenville, Ohio, and forced school administrators to confront whether its school was doing something to foster a “culture of rape” and “male privilege.”

Lost in the fervor, friends and Toribio’s attorney said, is the identity of a 18-year-old rising football star, who they say will likely be remembered for a “juvenile” mistake.

On Tuesday, before a mostly empty courtroom at Litchfield Superior Court, Judge John Danaher handed down Toribio’s sentence: He’ll spend nine months in jail and serve 10 years of probation - but won’t have to register as a sex offender - after pleading guilty to second-degree sexual assault in the February rape of a 13-year-old girl. Nine months is the mandatory minimum for second-degree sexual assault.

Toribio’s teammate, Edgar Gonzalez, is already serving a six-year sentence for second-degree sexual assault and second-degree robbery. He was also required to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Toribio, who stood before the judge in a black sweatshirt and dark blue jeans, didn’t say much when addressing the court, but acknowledged his decision to engage in what prosecuting State’s Attorney Terri Sonnemann called a “consensual” sexual encounter with an underage girl was “wrong.”

Toribio’s Torrington-based attorney, Charles Brower, told the court his client was a “very nice kid” who did something “juvenile and immature.”

Danaher said he hopes Toribio can salvage his life after he’s released.

“You are the beneficiary of the victims whose parents aren’t out for blood,” he said. “Sometimes what people do goes beyond a mistake and becomes a crime, and that’s where you are today.”

Members of the 13-year-old victim’s family elected not to attend Tuesday’s sentencing, with Sonnemann speaking on their behalf. She condemned Toribio’s decision to have at least two sexual encounters with a girl he knew was underage.

The state’s age of consent is 16, falling outside the state’s Romeo and Juliet provision, which allows for sexual relationships if the participants aren’t more than three years apart, because of the five-year age gap between Toribio and the victim.

“I don’t think it was a rash [decision]; it was just a bad one,” Sonnemann said. “He’ll pay a steep price for it. This was a difficult situation, and this was the most palatable resolution. No one is 100 percent happy, but this is something everybody can live with.”

A local victim’s advocate said the state’s age of consent laws safeguard victims from being taken advantage of by much-older perpetrators.

“If a girl has a drink, it doesn’t mean she wants to be raped,” said Barbara Spiegel, executive director of Torrington’s Susan B. Anthony Project. “If a girl wears a short skirt, it doesn’t mean she wants to be raped. It means she wants to wear a short skirt.”

Toribio, who had been free on bond, sat quietly with his family before his case was called. His sister and other family members burst into tears when marshals led Toribio away in handcuffs. Afterward, his attorney, Brower, said Toribio never denied the sexual relationship.

“The facts are the facts, and he’s never tried to deny any of the facts,” Brower said. “He’s very stoic about this and very accepting about what occurred.”

The real Joan Toribio?

A former teammate who spoke to the Register Citizen didn’t see Toribio as a criminal.

“I don’t think of him as a criminal,” said Joel Beltre, 20, who went to school with Toribio, played on the same football team with him for two years and has lived next door to him for a half-decade.

Raised by a single mother the last eight years, Toribio developed a reputation as a talented football player at Torrington High School. He spent much of his life in the same apartment complex, on Highland Avenue, where he and friends played football in a small grass lot feet from his front door,

In his formative years, during those games, Toribio developed a knack for football. In high school, Beltre said, Toribio was an indispensable part of the team, playing multiple positions. Because of his athletic prowess, he was a popular figure on campus, but was quiet and “not much of a trouble-maker.”

It was that popularity which led some of Toribio’s classmates to stand up for him on a social media website. A Register Citizen report in March detailed cyber-bullying in which Torrington students took to Twitter to blast the victims, calling them “whores” and “snitches.”

Toribio is only one of four former Red Raiders charged with sexual assault stemming from the February incident at Toribio’s mother’s home.

Another victim, also 13, told police she was forced to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana, before being raped by Gonzalez, the school football team’s most valuable player. The girl suffered “internal injuries” from the attack, Sonnemann said.

Two other former football players, both juveniles, were also charged with second-degree sexual assault of one of the victims. Their names and the details of those cases have not been released due to the age of the suspects. Those alleged assaults did not occur on the same night as those involving Toribio and Gonzlez.

But it was Toribio and Gonzalez’s names that were splashed across newspapers and appeared on national websites, with TV crews setting up camp in the otherwise quaint town to chronicle every scintillating development.

The Torrington rape case, and similar ones across the country, was cited as evidence of a “rape culture” and prompted school officials to draft a new code of conduct criticized by a local chapter of the American Civil Liberties for severely restricting students’ freedom of speech.

Beltre said the rape case unraveled Toribio’s chances of getting a football scholarship.

“He pretty much ruined his future,” Beltre said. “He was on the road to getting recruited.”

Since he was released on bond, the 18-year-old Toribio maintained a low profile.

His Facebook page has been dormant for more than a year. His last status update, a picture of him carrying the ball in one of Torrington’s football games, was posted in October 2012, four months before he and Gonzalez were arrested and accused of sexual assault.

In Toribio’s mugshot, he stared back blankly at the camera. Few neighbors who lived in his complex identified him for anything other than his mugshot, recalling scant details about his life aside from what they read in newspaper accounts.

That’s a far cry from how Brower described his client, saying he is intelligent and interested in attending college after his release.

One woman, who lives next door to Toribio but declined to give her name, said Toribio’s criminal case weighed heavy on his conscience, transforming him from sociable into a shut-in, reticent to speak to anyone.

“It’s a miracle if I see him outside,” she said.

Brower said his client, who was suspended from school after charges were filed and later expelled, has been finishing required course work to get his high school diploma, which was awarded in August. Brower said his client has a “college-level GPA” and will apply to a nearby college. He believes the sexual assault was isolated and that Toribio won’t become a repeat offender.

“I’m 74 years old,” Brower said. “I’ve seen a lot of wiseguys, and he’s not one of them.”

‘A black eye’

Months later, as the school and city looks to move forward from the ugly episode, the head of the Board of Education is convinced the school’s culpability in the football rape case is limited.

Board Chairman Ken Traub said the rape case “wasn’t a black eye for the school” since it took place off campus, on a weekend, not during school hours.

“The school’s responsibility has to end at some point,” Traub said. “I don’t believe the schools had any responsibility or culpability in what happened.”

Internally, the school board made efforts to ensure students are better educated about rape, ramping up educational programs, changing policy and restructuring the football program. Torrington also now has an administrator assigned for every grade in secondary education, Traub said, a measure aimed at making administrators more aware of potential problems.

Dan Dunaj, the former football coach who allowed Gonzalez to play football while facing robbery charges, resigned, and he was replaced in June by Gaitan Rodriguez. For awhile, the board discussed cutting its athletic programs, including football, since it’s a “non-mandated” program, Traub said.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for raping two sisters on Thanksgiving Day two years ago.

The Hartford Courant reports that 29-year-old Jason Johnson was sentenced Tuesday, following his conviction in June on two counts of first-degree sexual assault.

Prosecutors say the Hartford man assaulted the homeless sisters at gunpoint.

At the time he was on parole for another sexual assault, with a GPS device on his ankle. He didn’t know the sisters.

Judge James Graham said the crimes were “a horrific sexual assault … with clear overtones of sadism.” Graham added that Johnson has shown no remorse.

When given the chance to address the court, Johnson called the trial a sham and accused the prosecution of fabricating the case against him.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A man was arrested on Sunday after Louisville Metro police said he assaulted a woman near the Parkway Village neighborhood.

According to the arrest citation, the victim told police she was walking in the area of Shelby Street and Maylawn Avenue on Friday when she noticed a man following her. Sensing something was up, she reportedly called her husband and started walking back towards her home.

Police said the man then went up to the woman, punched her in the face, and raped her. He then allegedly got up and ran away without saying a word.

Through the victim’s detailed description of the man and ring doorbell footage from the area, police identified the suspect as 39-year-old Shaun T. Miles.

Miles has been charged with first degree rape and fourth degree assault. He’s being held at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections on a $50,000 cash bond.
