A Georgia judge’s shocking leniency allowed a serial menace back on the streets to terrorize locals, and it culminated in an <a href="https://www.wtoc.com/2026/08/07/man-arrested-attempted-rape-daffin-park-has-22-arrests-since-2020-records-show/">attempted rape</a> at a popular park in Savannah, Georgia.
Judge Claire Williams repeatedly handed 30-year-old Lashawa Doyle a soft-touch &#8220;get out of jail free&#8221; card, granting him suspended sentences and credit for time served in almost all of his recent cases. Despite a staggering rap sheet boasting 22 arrests since 2020, which included eight arrests in 2026 alone, the judge consistently cut him loose without forcing him to serve any real jail time.
The tragic result of this judicial revolving door unfolded at Daffin Park when Doyle allegedly launched an assault on a female victim at a public restroom. City workers overheard the struggle and alerted an off-duty police officer, who rushed in to apprehend Doyle and halt the attack. Doyle now faces charges including criminal attempt to commit a felony, aggravated sexual battery, false imprisonment, and public indecency.

Just 17 days prior, Doyle had walked free after his latest release. Out of his last 15 arrests, he was consistently released &#8220;on his own recognizance&#8221; or given credit for time already spent behind bars. His arrests included a February assault on a woman at a transit stop — that left her facial features bruised —  and explicit sexual acts near college housing.
Though Judge Williams ordered Doyle to avoid new offenses, prosecutors somehow failed to file motions to revoke his suspended sentences even as his arrest count surged. Williams’ leniency comes amid her successful re-election campaign in May, where she <a href="https://www.savannahtribune.com/articles/judge-claire-williams-announces-bid-for-re-election/">touted</a> her decades-long tenure on the bench as an example of &#8220;equitable&#8221; service.
Local leaders are fiercely blasting the system for failing law-abiding citizens. Alderman Nick Palumbo slammed the continuous releases, stating:
<blockquote>
This is somebody that has time and time again violated the trust of our community. And I would love to hear accountability from the Judge and I’ve asked from the district attorney’s office, their accountability mechanism to what is happening here. Housed or unhoused, mentally ill or no, this is a violent sex offender in our community and people have a right to feel safe and not be terrorized in this manner. This could have gone — if it had not been for the Savannah Police Department, the park employees and the innocent bystanders that called this in — an entirely very different story.
</blockquote>
Georgia State Representative Jesse Petrea echoed those frustrations, adding:
<blockquote>
This is the same old story over and over again. And sadly, the people of Chatham County have again been failed by the system. &#8230; As a legislator, we have in Georgia provided every opportunity for the judicial system to hold anyone like this individual accountable for his crimes and to keep him away from the people — in the protection of the innocent and the frail and the vulnerable and the weak. All of that is there. It all hinges on one thing. And that is that the judicial system, our judges, our district attorneys and our sheriffs must do their job to hold these people accountable.

Rape

As an opponent of police and prisons, Dr. Frances Gill, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national committee, dodged this question from an interviewer: “If my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and bring him to justice?”
“What would it be if not police and where would he be if not a jail?” the interviewer pressed.
Gill chose instead to pivot to an absolutely ridiculous suggestion that improving streetlights was more effective at keeping people safe than law enforcement, saying:
<blockquote>
I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals and talk more about the reality that we&#8217;re actually facing right now, which is that we&#8217;re spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing. And we&#8217;re not spending money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things like actually well-lit streets.   
</blockquote>
Gill, a resident physician in psychiatry at Los Angeles General Medical Center (formerly LAC+USC), gave an answer that would have pleased her fellow DSA members. The DSA explicitly calls for defunding and ultimately dismantling police departments while completely shuttering prisons and jails.

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The bizarre logic left the core issue of violent crime completely unaddressed, leaving the main question entirely unanswered: in a cop-free, prison-free utopia, who actually stops rapists and holds offenders accountable?
Gill’s anti-police activism is nothing new. According to <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Frances_Gill">watchdog reports</a> from Canary Mission, Gill has been active with the DSA since at least 2019, boasting on social media back in June 2020 that her medical school class group chat was &#8220;blowing up with people talking about why they support defunding the police!&#8221; Today, she is licensed to practice psychiatry and neurology in California while sitting on the DSA’s 2025–2027 National Political Committee.
The DSA’s far-Left agenda reaches well beyond local policing. The organization champions prison abolition, anti-American ideology, and aggressive anti-Israel activism, including support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and backing far-left political figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The group counts prominent figures like Rep. Rashida Tlaib and activist Linda Sarsour among its notable members.
Yet despite holding high-level influence within an organization pushing to dismantle the American justice system, Gill’s vision for public safety seemingly begins and ends with turning on a light bulb.

An enraged Ohio dad took matters into his own hands after his wife made a horrific discovery on his 11-year-old daughter’s phone: graphic footage allegedly showing a 20-year-old predator sexually assaulting the child inside their own Grove City home.
The very next day, 31-year-old Malik Chandler decided to turn the tables on the suspect, Diego Montoya Gonzalez. Posing as his young daughter on TikTok, Chandler <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/bond-set-rape-suspect-who-was-shot-by-11-year-old-victims-father/530-324c45ef-4adc-4054-8c32-a5090a66bf07">tricked</a> the alleged rapist into returning to the residence, CBS Columbus affiliate WBNS reported.
According to court documents, Chandler’s original plan was simple: dish out a severe beating, hold the perpetrator down, and wait for law enforcement to pull up. But when Montoya Gonzalez arrived at the apartment, the confrontation escalated instantly.
Chandler told investigators that as soon as he opened the door and confronted the visitor, the suspect reached into his pocket. Fearing the man was grabbing a gun and having previously seen him flaunting a firearm in TikTok videos, Chandler snatched his own handgun off the counter and fired, striking Montoya Gonzalez twice.
The wounded suspect scrambled away before collapsing in a nearby chair, where responding officers found him bleeding. He was rushed to Grant Medical Center in Columbus for treatment. Chandler, meanwhile, put his weapon back on the counter and surrendered to arriving police without further incident.
The protective father was subsequently hit with a felonious assault charge, with a judge setting his bond at $100,000.
Montoya Gonzalez soon faced his own severe reckoning in court. A grand jury indicted him on heavy charges, including rape, pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, and obstructing official business. Prosecutors <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/bond-set-rape-suspect-who-was-shot-by-11-year-old-victims-father/530-324c45ef-4adc-4054-8c32-a5090a66bf07">revealed</a> that a search of the suspect&#8217;s phone uncovered a nightmare cache of child abuse media, including a clip depicting an infant or toddler.
Appearing in Franklin County Common Pleas Court while the victim’s parents watched on, Montoya Gonzalez entered a not-guilty plea. A judge <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/08/04/us-news/dad-poses-as-daughter-11-on-tiktok-to-lure-her-alleged-rapist-to-home-to-shoot-him/">set his bail</a> at a combined $70,000. If he manages to post bond, the accused predator is subject to strict conditions: he must stay entirely clear of the victim and her family, and he is barred from using the internet for any non-work purposes.

A pharmaceutical executive who spent more than two decades building a successful career under an assumed identity was arrested earlier this month after authorities identified him as a fugitive convicted of rape who disappeared during his 2005 trial.
Dr. Richard Graydon, who was serving as chief medical officer at the Los Angeles biotech company Immix Biopharma, was arrested after investigators determined he was actually Ronald Fischer, an “America’s Most Wanted” fugitive who had been evading authorities for more than 20 years.
Immix shares fell roughly 10% after news of Fischer&#8217;s arrest, prompting investors to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/07/21/3330886/0/en/immix-biopharma-investigated-by-the-portnoy-law-firm.html">investigate</a> whether the company failed to properly vet the executive before hiring him.
According to prosecutors, Fischer raped a woman aboard his yacht, the Lion King, while it was docked in a Rhode Island marina in 2003. He stood trial in 2005 but disappeared before the proceedings concluded. A jury later convicted him of first-degree sexual assault in his absence.
An affidavit <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/captured-americas-most-wanted-fugitive-ronald-fischer-abandons-alias-after-20-years-run">obtained</a> by Fox News Digital claims that before fleeing, Fischer gave his vehicles to his daughters, told them to clear their belongings out of his home, and disposed of a Jaguar.
The affidavit also says that Fischer emailed his attorney, Robert Mann, saying he did not wish to risk conviction but hoped to build “a good, safe, secure and comfortable life” either in the United States or abroad. 
He then vanished.
Using the alias Richard Graydon, he spent the next two decades working at several pharmaceutical companies before eventually becoming an executive at Immix, according to investigators. 
His time on the run came to an end after authorities received a credible tip about his identity and used FBI intelligence analysis to pinpoint his location. Deputy U.S. marshals and U.S. Coast Guard personnel arrested him aboard his 56-foot yacht,  The Silver Lining, off the coast of New Jersey.
Fischer was arraigned before a Rhode Island judge, who set bail at $20,000. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 17. 
In addition to his first-degree sexual assault conviction, Fischer now faces a felony bail-jumping charge and a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
“This arrest demonstrates that time does not erase accountability,” Wing Chau, U.S. Marshal for the District of Rhode Island, <a href="https://www.usmarshals.gov/news/press-release/one-of-rhode-islands-longest-wanted-fugitive-captured-after-more-20-years-run">said</a>. “Thanks to outstanding investigative work, exceptional intelligence analysis, and seamless coordination between agencies, Fischer is finally in custody. We hope today&#8217;s arrest brings a measure of justice and long-awaited closure to the victim and everyone impacted by these crimes.”

trial

The Trump administration does not plan to intervene to stop the extradition of controversial influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate to the United Kingdom, despite the brothers&#8217; legal team urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to step in.
A senior administration official told <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/07/22/trump-rubio-tate-brothers-extradition">Axios</a> on Wednesday that the United States will not block the proceedings as the brothers fight extradition in federal court. &#8220;The U.S. has an extradition treaty with the U.K. and the administration intends to honor it in this case,&#8221; the official said.
The State Department likewise indicated it has no plans to intervene. A senior department official said Rubio has not spoken with the Tate brothers or their attorneys and that the department &#8220;has no plans to act on this matter at this time.&#8221;
Andrew and Tristan Tate were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-and-tristan-tate-arrested-in-florida-on-rape-child-pornography-charges?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+And+Tristan+Tate+Arrested+In+Florida+On+Rape%2C+Child+Pornography+Charges">arrested</a> in Miami on Saturday, following a British extradition request tied to dozens of new criminal charges. The Crown Prosecution Service recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tate-brothers-slapped-with-38-new-charges-in-expanding-sex-trafficking-case?author=Daily+Wire+News&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Tate+Brothers+Slapped+With+38+New+Charges+In+Expanding+Sex+Trafficking+Case">announced</a> 38 additional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-graphic-allegations-unsealed-against-the-tate-brothers?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Read+The+Graphic+Allegations+Unsealed+Against+The+Tate+Brothers">charges</a> against the brothers, bringing the total number of charges they face in the United Kingdom to 59. The charges include allegations of rape, sex trafficking, assault, and offenses involving indecent images of children and extreme pornography.
The brothers have thus far denied all wrongdoing, and they appeared Monday before a federal judge in Miami to begin extradition proceedings. Their attorney, Joseph McBride, argued outside the courthouse that the prosecution is politically motivated and has vowed to challenge the request. &#8220;We are of course objecting to extradition because Andrew and Tristan are innocent,&#8221; McBride told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/andrew-tristan-tate-sex-trafficking-rape-uk-miami-3a3748e075f49b00f286a003f5103485">reporters</a>. &#8220;They&#8217;ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn&#8217;t be extradited for crimes they did not commit.&#8221;
McBride has also argued that Rubio has the authority to deny the extradition request if he determines the brothers are being politically persecuted. Court filings acknowledge the secretary retains final authority over extradition decisions after judicial proceedings conclude, but administration officials have indicated there is no appetite to exercise that discretion in this case.
According to Axios, Rubio has privately expressed disdain for the brothers, with one source telling the outlet the secretary views them as &#8220;scum.&#8221; Another source familiar with President Donald Trump&#8217;s thinking said the president likewise wants nothing to do with the influencers despite their repeated public support for him. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/who-are-andrew-and-tristan-tate-everything-to-know-about-the-controversial-manosphere-brothers?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Who+Are+Andrew+And+Tristan+Tate%3F+Everything+To+Know+About+The+Controversial+%E2%80%98Manosphere%E2%80%99+Brothers.">The Tate brothers</a> have cultivated a massive online following through content promoting wealth, hyper-masculinity, and controversial views on women. They became prominent figures within the so-called &#8220;manosphere&#8221; and have repeatedly portrayed themselves as allies of Trump and the MAGA movement.
The extradition case is only the latest legal challenge facing the brothers. They remain under criminal investigation in Romania on separate human trafficking and rape allegations, which they have also denied.
A federal judge has scheduled the brothers&#8217; next hearing for July 27 as the extradition process continues. If the court determines the treaty requirements are met, the final decision on whether to surrender the brothers to British authorities will rest with Rubio, though administration officials have made clear they currently have no intention of blocking the request.

Andrew and Tristan Tate — the controversial brothers and &#8220;manosphere&#8221; influencers — were arrested in Miami on Saturday on a warrant in the United Kingdom.
The Tates are charged with a slew of crimes ranging from sexual assault and rape to human trafficking and possession of child pornography. The Tates were first arrested on similar charges in Romania in 2022, the beginning of an ongoing criminal saga for the pair, who rose to prominence with their flashy lifestyles and videos encouraging young men to be &#8220;alpha males.&#8221;
But who are Andrew and Tristan, exactly? How did they rise to prominence? And when did things start to go south?
Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about the Tate brothers.
<h3>A transatlantic beginning.</h3>
Andrew, 39, and Tristan, 38, were born to a British mother, Eileen, and an American Air Force sergeant and chess master, Emory Tate. They lived in the United States until their parents divorced, whereupon they returned to the United Kingdom with their mother. The pair also have a younger sister, Janine, about whom little is publicly available. Both Tate brothers hold dual citizenship in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Andrew Tate began kickboxing around 2005 and went on to win four world championships. Tristan also enjoyed mild success in kickboxing, but the pair soon moved on to more nefarious pursuits.
<h3>Big Brother is watching.</h3>
According to Andrew Tate, in 2014 he began <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/06/15/andrew-tates-empire-of-abuse">brainstorming</a> ways to make money, which was not coming in from kickboxing. Realizing that he &#8220;had about five girlfriends,&#8221; he decided to begin a webcam pornography business, beginning with just his &#8220;girlfriends&#8221; and eventually recruiting other women to &#8220;perform.&#8221; Tate claims that the business netted $100,000 in its first month. The brothers moved their webcam empire to Romania sometime between 2015 and 2017, where it took on a massive scale.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-tates-filthy-grift?author=Ben+Shapiro&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+Tate%E2%80%99s+Filthy+Grift">BEN SHAPIRO: ANDREW TATE&#8217;S FILTHY GRIFT</a></h4>
In that window, Andrew Tate rose to fame as a contestant on the British version of the popular reality TV show, Big Brother. Tate was booted from the show after just six days, with producers citing Tate&#8217;s <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-36524693">&#8220;outside activities&#8221;</a> as grounds for removal.
Those &#8220;outside activities&#8221; include some of the earliest allegations against the Tate brothers. Several women have <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyje823er4o">accused</a> the brothers of luring them to Romania on the promise of a romantic relationship, only to coerce them into performing for their webcam streams. At least two women have accused the Tate brothers of raping and physically assaulting them during this period, when Andrew Tate claims to have made more than half a million dollars a month and had 75 women working for him.
But by 2020, the webcam ring was shuttered. The Tates had a new venture, and it would be their biggest yet.
<h3>Into the Manosphere.</h3>
Around 2017, the Tates began pitching themselves as lifestyle gurus, teaching young men <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/tech/twitter-andrew-tate-raped-verify-kickboxer-b1996239.html">how to succeed in business</a> and romance. By 2020, that business had grown into Hustler&#8217;s University, an online community where, for $50 a month, men could learn from the Tate brothers. Or, for <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/article/andrew-tate-five-things-know">$8,000 a year</a>, members could join the &#8220;War Room&#8221; for even more elite lessons.
Fueled by their social media posts depicting flashy cars, women, and all-around lavish living, the Tates developed a massive following, primarily among young men. The men who flocked to Tate&#8217;s courses learned that the way to make money and impress women was to behave like the Tates — that is, arrogant, flashy, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-tates-filthy-grift?author=Ben+Shapiro&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+Tate%E2%80%99s+Filthy+Grift">rude to the women</a> they wanted to attract.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-real-reason-young-men-are-flocking-to-the-manosphere?author=Jonathan+Alpert&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=The+Real+Reason+Young+Men+Are+Flocking+To+The+Manosphere">UPSTREAM: The Real Reason Young Men Are Flocking To The Manosphere</a></h4>
During this time, Tate became a player in the culture wars thanks to his controversial statements about women, minorities, and especially Jews. Following Hamas&#8217;s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Tate began to express support for Palestinian terrorists, denied the Holocaust, and performed a Nazi salute, among other <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/article/andrew-tate-five-things-know">antisemitic acts.</a>
Tate claimed that at its peak, Hustler&#8217;s University had 80,000 members, though that number has not been independently verified. In 2022, Tate closed Hustler&#8217;s University amid allegations that the program was really a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/aug/20/andrew-tate-money-making-scheme-for-fans-of-extreme-misogynist-closes">pyramid scheme.</a> It was the beginning of an avalanche of legal troubles that continue to this day.
<h3>On the run.</h3>
In 2022, Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Romania and charged with <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/30/andrew-tate-detained-romania-brothers-crime/">human trafficking.</a> They were placed under house arrest in early 2023 and remained under house arrest on and off until February 2025, when Romanian authorities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/controversial-social-media-influencer-andrew-tate-returning-to-united-states?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Controversial+Social+Media+Influencer+Andrew+Tate+Returning+To+United+States">lifted travel restrictions</a> on the brothers.
But the Tate brothers still faced charges in Romania, as well as in the United Kingdom, which charged the brothers with similar crimes last May. Last year, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier opened an investigation into the brothers, who frequently spend time in Miami.
Despite outstanding warrants or investigations in the three countries they called home, the Tates seemed to enjoy freedom of movement until Saturday, when federal authorities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-and-tristan-tate-arrested-in-florida-on-rape-child-pornography-charges?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+And+Tristan+Tate+Arrested+In+Florida+On+Rape%2C+Child+Pornography+Charges">arrested them at a Miami airport</a> on a warrant issued by the Crown Prosecution Service of the United Kingdom.
<h3>What are the Tates charged with?</h3>
British prosecutors issued 38 new criminal charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate following their arrest. The pair now face <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tate-brothers-slapped-with-38-new-charges-in-expanding-sex-trafficking-case?author=Daily+Wire+News&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Tate+Brothers+Slapped+With+38+New+Charges+In+Expanding+Sex+Trafficking+Case">a total of 59 charges</a>, according to Hertfordshire Police, a total that could lead to their extradition to the United Kingdom.

Controversial influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate on Saturday were arrested by federal officials in Miami pursuant to rape charges and an outstanding arrest warrant in the United Kingdom.
The Crown Prosecution Service last year charged Andrew Tate with 10 counts of crimes, including rape and human trafficking related to three women. His younger brother, Tristan, was charged with 11 counts of similar crimes tied to one woman. On Saturday, the Crown Prosecution Service announced additional counts for each brother, including 19 charges related to illegal child images and pornography for Andrew Tate.
“We can confirm the arrest of the Tate brothers today in Miami,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. “The warrant was sealed so we are unable to confirm the charges.” The office of Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier — who last year opened an investigation into the Tate brothers — confirmed to The Daily Wire that the pair were taken into custody on an arrest warrant from the United Kingdom.

Figures like the Tates flaunt their lavish lifestyles and tell listeners that they too can achieve success and impress women by acting like &#8220;alpha males.&#8221;
But behind the public bravado lurks a much darker reality.
Last year, Andrew Tate&#8217;s ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-girlfriend-accuses-andrew-tate-of-abuse-violence-in-lawsuit-if-you-ever-betray-me?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Ex-Girlfriend+Accuses+Andrew+Tate+Of+Abuse%2C+Violence+In+Lawsuit%3A+%E2%80%98If+You+Ever+Betray+Me%E2%80%99">accused</a> the former kickboxer of physical abuse.
“The last time I saw Andrew was on March 11, 2025 at the Beverly Hill’s Hotel,&#8221; Stern wrote on social media. &#8220;The last words he said to me before I left the hotel were: ‘Shut the f*** up, b****. You will never backtalk me. You are my property.'&#8221;
Months after Stern came forward with her allegations, Canadian YouTuber Lauren Southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youtuber-lauren-southern-accuses-andrew-tate-of-sexual-assault?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=YouTuber+Lauren+Southern+Accuses+Andrew+Tate+Of+Sexual+Assault">accused</a> Andrew Tate of sexual assault in a self-published memoir.
&#8220;I said no, very clearly, multiple times, and tried to pull his hands off me,&#8221; Southern wrote of their encounter. &#8220;He put his arm around my neck and began strangling me unconscious. I tried to fight back. He repeatedly strangled me every time I regained enough consciousness to pull at his arms. I’d prefer not to share the rest. It’s pretty obvious.&#8221;
Andrew and Tristan Tate have repeatedly denied all the allegations made against them.
The brothers, who hold dual citizenship in the United States and the United Kingdom, moved to Romania in 2016 but returned to the United States last year as Romanian authorities investigated their activity. The United Kingdom is reportedly seeking to extradite the brothers.

Andrew And Tristan Tate Arrested In Florida On Rape, Child Pornography Charges

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing a firestorm of criticism after appearing to wave away New York City&#8217;s climbing rape numbers by pointing to a legal technicality.
The controversy erupted after PIX11&#8217;s Dan Mannarino pressed the mayor on rising rape and felony assault figures that City Council Speaker Julie Menin has flagged as troubling, even as the NYPD touts historic lows in murders and shootings. Rather than directly addressing the spike, Mamdani suggested a chunk of it was attributable to New York&#8217;s broadened legal definition of rape, plus survivors finally reporting decades-old attacks.
&#8220;I believe the NYPD, when they put forward their numbers, what we&#8217;re seeing are some of the lowest numbers that New York City has seen in recorded history, especially when it comes to murders and shootings,&#8221; Mamdani stated. &#8220;These are the lowest we&#8217;ve ever seen. And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior.&#8221;
That explanation landed like a lead balloon online.
Democratic Council Member Susan Zhuang was among those turning on a fellow Democrat, warning that redefining rape under the law should never become a shield against accountability for actually reducing sexual violence.
&#8220;Expanding the legal definition of rape was an important step toward recognizing more survivors under the law. But it should never be used to deflect from the responsibility to reduce sexual violence,&#8221; Zhuang said. &#8220;Survivors deserve leadership, action, accountability, and justice. They don’t deserve deflection.&#8221;
Conservative commentators piled on with even sharper comments. Women&#8217;s sports activist Riley Gaines questioned how female voters ever got behind Mamdani.
&#8220;HOW did women vote for this guy?&#8221; Gaines <a href="https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/2076743143798546787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2076743143798546787%7Ctwgr%5E1e0ac2a0303ddf562f7c2aacb4edfa12edddc0de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1134781action%3Dedit">asked</a>.
Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy <a href="https://x.com/chiproytx/status/2076770638627303524?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2076770638627303524%7Ctwgr%5E163d1d9a2b795cdcde90f8d2e61d6889127a0ed4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1134781action%3Dedit">blasted</a>, &#8220;Rapes are up. Rents are up. Foreign diseases and parasites spreading. Historic Churches burning left and right. Elect the third world, get the third world.&#8221;
In January 2024, New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul signed the &#8220;Rape is Rape&#8221; Act, which went into effect that September. The law altered the old requirement that rape convictions hinge solely on non-consensual penile-vaginal penetration, expanding the definition to cover forced oral and anal contact as well — acts previously prosecuted under a separate, lesser charge of criminal sexual act. Before the change, advocates argued, survivors of those other assaults were denied the ability to see their attacks legally labeled as rape at all.
But Mamdani&#8217;s critics were <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/mamdani-roasted-over-assertion-higher-nyc-rapes-come-from-expanded-definition">quick to note</a> the legal shift doesn&#8217;t fully explain the trend. NYPD&#8217;s own CompStat figures reportedly show rape reports still climbing 6.6% year-over-year — well after the new definition had already taken hold, undercutting the notion that redefinition of the standards is driving the numbers all by itself.

Democratic Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner released a video denying the accusations of sexual misconduct, disturbing and abusive behavior, and even rape — but some quickly noticed that his speech sounded familiar.
When viewed side by side with a video from disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) — who resigned after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and assault — it was so similar that it might easily have been scripted by the same person.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-new-sexual-assault-accusation-rocks-maine-democrat-graham-platner">Platner responded</a> after former girlfriend Jenny Racicot came forward, speaking with both Politico and CNN about the night she said Platner showed up at her home and forced himself on her.
&#8220;I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me,&#8221; Platner began, speaking directly to the camera. &#8220;Any accusation of nonconsensual behavior is categorically false.&#8221;
Platner then spoke of his constituents, saying that he&#8217;d been &#8220;deeply humbled&#8221; by the amount of faith they&#8217;d placed in him and thanking them for welcoming him into their lives throughout his campaign.
&#8220;So regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting but mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins,&#8221; Platner said, adding, &#8220;As Maine goes, so goes the nation.&#8221;
Swalwell gave a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/swalwell-wont-drop-out-despite-his-metoo-era-kavanaugh-demand">remarkably similar statement</a> in the wake of sexual misconduct and assault accusations just a few months earlier, also speaking directly to the camera.
&#8220;A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations,” Swalwell said at the time. “And I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly.”
“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false, they’re absolutely false,” he added. “They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have. They also come on the eve of an election where I have been the frontrunner candidate for governor in California.”
“I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I’m a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past,” Swalwell continued. “But those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position. I also apologize to you if in any way you have doubted your support for me. But I think you know who I am.”
Within days of releasing the video, Swalwell had dropped out of the California gubernatorial primary — which he was leading — and resigned from Congress.

In the hours since one of Graham Platner&#8217;s former girlfriends accused him of rape, the Maine Democrat has lost the support of the state and national party, as well as nearly every prominent figure who stuck with him through his scandal-plagued campaign.
But he can still count on Stephen King.
&#8220;Graham Platner may drop out. (I hope he doesn&#8217;t, but.),&#8221; the septuagenarian horror writer and Maine resident posted on X. &#8220;Meanwhile, the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin&#8217; on.&#8221;

King, a former cocaine addict whose 1986 novel &#8220;It&#8221; depicts group sex among minors, has long promoted Democrats and leftwing causes on social media. But his defense of Platner — as well as his attempt to shift the focus to President Donald Trump&#8217;s alleged misdeeds — leaves him prominent among a rapidly dwindling group of supporters.
On Monday, Politico published a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-new-sexual-assault-accusation-rocks-maine-democrat-graham-platner?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=A+New+Sexual+Assault+Accusation+Rocks+Maine+Democrat+Graham+Platner">bombshell report</a> in which 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot recounts how Platner drunkenly broke into her house in 2021 and raped her. The report, which includes corroborating evidence from Racicot and people with whom she shared the story, seems to have been the last straw for Democrats who stuck with Platner through revelations of his offensive social media posts, Nazi tattoo, presence on an app popular among sexual predators, and allegations of abuse from other women.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-ditch-platner-over-rape-claims?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Dems+Ditch+Platner+Over+Rape+Claims">demanded</a> that Platner drop out in a statement with fellow New York Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The statement said that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee — which Gillibrand chairs — &#8220;will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.&#8221;
The Maine Democrat has also lost support from Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), two of his earliest and most ardent backers. The Maine Democratic Party also withdrew its support, as did leftist podcaster Hasan Piker. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego (D), embroiled in a controversy of his own, also called for Platner to drop out of the race.
Platner denied Racicot&#8217;s accusations in a <a href="https://x.com/grahamformaine/status/2074214272628916296?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two-minute video message</a> shared to social media shortly after Politico&#8217;s story dropped.
“Any accusation of nonconsensual behavior is categorically false,” Platner said. “Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful the political reality it will inflict, we are taking time to reflect on the best path forward.&#8221;
Maine Democrats face a <a href="https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/21-a/title21-Asec374-A.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 13 deadline</a> to swap Platner for another Democrat to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins.
Racicot told Politico that she &#8220;didn’t come forward sooner&#8221; due to &#8220;the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person.&#8221; Seeing other women come forward motivated Racicot to speak out, she says, noting that “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”
&#8220;Tell you what,&#8221; King wrote on X shortly after posting his initial statement of support. &#8220;If you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said, &#8216;Let him without sin cast the first stone.'&#8221;

The Pakistani Muslim ringleader of a grooming gang targeting young girls in the United Kingdom has been released from prison eight years early. 
Shabir Ahmed was sentenced to 22 years in prison after his 2012 conviction for multiple rape and sexual offenses against girls as young as 13. Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer requested that the British government look into deporting Ahmed immediately. 
Sara Rowbotham, a former National Health Service worker who helped uncover Ahmed’s crimes, said his release comes far too soon. 
“He was able to coerce, manipulate, and organize a highly manipulative group of men, and when in court he was volatile in court and towards the judge. There have been no indications that his views have changed,&#8221; Rowbotham said.
“The de-investment in probation services means that any monitoring of him and his behavior is likely to be really weak. Who is going to make sure he and maybe others do not seek revenge?” she added.
Ahmed <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/deporting-shabir-ahmed-test-whether-055853319.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIfT9OGeVAKKbHJR4Tc3o4i4IUGV_jwsWj6OEQ8pCpV9PPLtJmCmTCXD4cqtQ1RwqCeiHtlpYZfcCj9KieR8wHDmrBZ3JmV40xfO9AUcSvmmtUin-czVIwgJGFLU1WUxtldZKbbACfYT06DHFrn6jaTYSiXXdyPTtPvvGasDDKHL">reportedly</a> gave his victims alcohol and drugs and gang-raped them in rooms with other men primarily from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds. Most of the victims were white girls from working class families, The Telegraph reported.
Gerald Clifton, the judge overseeing Ahmed’s case, said his victims were treated “as though they were worthless and beyond any respect” because they were not Pakistani Muslims. Ahmed’s defense focused on labeling the children “prostitutes” and argued that Judge Clifton was “racist.” More than 60 men were convicted in relation to Ahmed’s grooming gang in Rochdale, England. 
The Home Office, the U.K. government’s lead department for policing, border security, and immigration, called Ahmed’s crimes “appalling” and said he would be supervised 24/7 while wearing an electronically monitored GPS tag. 
“His every movement will be tracked, and forced to wear an electronic tag. He will rightly be on the sex offenders register for life, ordered to stay away from his victims and banned from contacting any child or young person,” <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gyx0vldrlo">said</a> a spokeswoman familiar with the matter. 
A letter sent to one of Ahmed’s victims revealed that the government does not currently have plans to deport Ahmed back to Pakistan due to the 1971 Immigration Act. The act says immigrants who arrived in Britain before 1973 and lived in the country for more than five years cannot be deported. 
A victim, who did not want to be publicly named, told the BBC that she was “scared for my safety and my kids’ safety.” She added, “The main ringleader is getting out of prison, who is well known in Rochdale, Oldham, and Middleton, so even if he&#8217;s not in that area, he still knows people and has a chance to talk to people from that area and that makes me unsafe.”

Muslim Rape Gang Ringleader Released From Prison

Prison

A federal magistrate rescinded an order on Monday, June 15, which had allowed the 16-year-old charged with the death and sexual assault of his stepsister, to remain in the custody of family members while awaiting trial.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres issued a 14-page order in response to the prosecutor’s request to detain Timothy Hudson, who is charged with the rape and murder of his stepsister, Anna Kepner. Torres agreed that detention was the correct call — not based on Hudson being a flight risk, but rather his “dangerousness.”
“The strength of the evidence here points strongly in favor of detention,” Torres said in the court documents from June 10. “Focusing just on the sexual assault charge, the Government’s case for a forcible rape is beyond clear and convincing.” 
“Indeed it suggests a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself raises a serious concern that Defendant can snap at any time, despite the well-meaning and serious efforts of his caretakers to make sure that does not happen,” Torres said. 
Hudson was reportedly  “<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/11/20/us-news/anna-kepners-stepbrother-was-obsessed-with-slain-cheerleader-and-once-committed-creepy-act-while-she-was-sleeping-report/">obsessed</a>” with Kepner despite the two being part of the same blended family.
“She was scared of him because he always carried around a big knife,” Kepner’s ex-boyfriend’s father, Steven Westin, said. His son, Joshua, dated Kepner for about two years.
 “He’s like infatuated, attracted to her like crazy. He always wanted to date her,” Westin said.
On November 7, 2025 Kepner’s body was found wrapped in a blanket and stuffed under the bed when a cleaning attendant entered a Carnival cruise ship room that she shared with Hudson and her half-brother. Her stepmother and biological father were staying in the room across the hall. 
Torres obtained a transcript from a February hearing, which revealed the medical examiner discovered bleeding under Kepner’s skin around the side and back of her neck. This is evidence of strangulation, and her cause of death was ruled as mechanical asphyxiation. The transcript also said DNA was found inside her body which was a match to Hudson.
The deadline for entering any plea agreement is August 28, according to the court records. If found guilty, Hudson could be sentenced to life in prison.
“The situation is deeply painful and complex for the entire family,” Christopher Kepner, the victim’s father, said in a previous statement. He said the family has “trust in the justice system to pursue the truth with care and integrity.”
Kepner was a Titusville high school senior who had aspirations to join the U.S. Navy and to eventually become a K-9 police officer, <a href="https://www.northbrevardfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Anna-Marie-Kepner?obId=46354353">according</a> to her online obituary. Her family described her as joyful and compassionate with a “radiant smile and endless energy.”
