<h2>Russia Bombs Ukraine, Frustrates Peace Efforts</h2>
<div id="attachment_912089" style="width: 848px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-912089" class="size-large wp-image-912089" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-838x576.jpg" alt="" width="838" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-838x576.jpg 838w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-300x206.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-768x528.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-1536x1056.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Miffed-Don-2048x1408.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px" />(Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)</div>
Topline: Russia attacked Ukraine’s capital with a series of missiles and drones on Thursday, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/europe/russia-strikes-ukraine-trump-vladimir-intl-hnk/index.html">according</a> to CNN, inflicted another round of strikes on Friday. The surprise attacks have derailed United States-led ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
Thursday’s attack on Kyiv left at least a dozen dead and dozens more wounded, and also killed what momentum there was toward a ceasefire. The following night, Moscow reportedly launched another round, killing at least eight more people. Before the attacks, the White House had sounded optimistic about a deal, but after Russia&#8217;s Thursday attacks, the President <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioT5YuxsrU8&amp;t=4m">appeared</a> much less sanguine.
<blockquote>TRUMP: We’re in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired, and I was not happy with it…
REPORTER: …If the bombs keep falling, will you consider additional sanctions for Russia, or what will you do?
TRUMP: I’d rather answer that question in a week, I want to see if we can have a deal. No reason to answer it now, but I won’t be happy, let’s put it that way. Things will happen.</blockquote>
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been willing to work with the United States on peace terms – more willing since his disastrous White House meeting in February. Since then, Zelensky has agreed to sign a minerals deal with the United States, and last month, he said Ukraine would agree to a full ceasefire to set up peace negotiations. But Moscow never bought in – all they could agree to was a 30 day pause on attacks against energy infrastructure.
Over the weekend, diplomats released a proposed peace deal constructed by the United States and Europe that recognized Russian control of Crimea and accepted Russia’s control of land in Ukraine’s east. It would also ban Ukraine from NATO membership and start the United States and Russia on a path of economic normalization – with all sanctions lifted from Russia. The proposal didn’t set limits on Ukraine’s military – something Moscow had wanted – and it included the minerals deal with the United States. Notably, it did not include any security guarantees from either the United States or Europe for Ukraine. Vice President JD Vance called it a “very fair proposal.”
Zelensky has already said that giving any occupied territory over to the Russians would be a red line. Zelensky has also taken issue with how the Trump administration has approached the negotiating table. “We would like to have this common understanding that Russia is the aggressor, not [Ukraine],&#8221; Zelensky told Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro in an interview this week.
<h2>SCOTUS Hears Case On Religious Opt-Outs From LGBTQ Curriculum</h2>
<div id="attachment_912091" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-912091" class="size-large wp-image-912091" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-864x576.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Let-Kids-Be-Kids-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />(Photo by OLIVER CONTRERAS/AFP via Getty Images)</div>
Topline: The Supreme Court looks poised to rule in favor of religious parents who want the right to opt their kids out of LGBTQ material at school.
In 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland’s largest school district, introduced a new gender and sexuality curriculum. At first, they allowed parents to opt their kids out, but then, the school district decided it was too difficult to allow opt outs and made attendance mandatory. In response, a group of parents that included Muslims, Catholics, and a Ukrainian Orthodox Christian brought a case against the school district.
One of the books in the new curriculum is called “Prince and Knight,” about a prince who rejects princesses and falls in love with a knight. Another book is called “Born Ready” about a boy named Penelope, and another book tells the story of a girl attending her uncle’s same-sex wedding, and yet another book is called “Pride Puppy” about a puppy who gets lost during a Pride parade.
“They can keep the books,” one plaintiff said on the steps of the Supreme Court. “They can read it to their children if there are parents who feel this is appropriate for their 3-year-old, 4-year-old and elementary kids, they can teach it to them, but we don’t think it’s right. We don’t want it read to our kids.”
The more conservative justices seemed highly skeptical of the school district’s arguments. Justice Brett Kavanaugh quizzed the lawyer for the school superintendent about why it’s supposedly too hard to let parents opt out their children from reading LGBTQ books in class. “The plaintiffs here are not asking the school to change its curriculum. They’re just saying look, we want out. Why isn’t that feasible?”
Even some of the usual critics seemed sympathetic to parents in this case. Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten of the ​​American Federation of Teachers admitted she would not actually recommend these books to elementary schoolers, although she still called for “inclusivity.”
<h2>John Rich Promotes Awareness Of Sextortion</h2>

Topline: Country music star and entrepreneur John Rich has teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security to warn Americans about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dozens-of-teen-boys-take-their-own-lives-as-online-sextortion-cases-spike">dangers of child sexual extortion</a>.
The Department of Homeland Security has a campaign called “Know2Protect” – you can find that on the DHS website. Its goal is to raise national public awareness about a rapidly growing crime called sexual extortion – also known as sextortion. Sextortion is when a predator coerces or tricks a minor into sending them sexually explicit images or video footage, and then threatens to release that material unless the minor either produces additional explicit content or gives them money. A Daily Wire investigation covered this topic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dozens-of-teen-boys-take-their-own-lives-as-online-sextortion-cases-spike">in-depth</a> earlier this month, but in summary, there were 36 million reports of suspected online child exploitation in 2023 alone.
John Rich is amplifying DHS’ awareness effort. The country star heard about sextortion a few months ago, after his wife and 15-year-old son attended a related talk from DHI Special Agent Dennis Fetting. Immediately, Rich reached out to DHS with ideas to get out something more accessible to the public. This week, Rich, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and Agent Fetting hosted a livestream event on sextortion. It was <a href="https://x.com/johnrich/status/1915190100058923202">reposted</a> online by President Trump, and so far, it has racked up millions of views.
“I&#8217;m fully aware of the dangers that are out there for our kids right now,” Rich said. “They are being targeted on apps, video games, social media – places you would never dream of, like innocent sounding games like Roblox, Minecraft, things like that, where predators are acting like they&#8217;re another kid and they&#8217;re creating a relationship with your kid, and then they lower the boom, then they start to extort and extort. They do everything from force the kids to send nude pictures of themselves, to take pictures of their parents&#8217; credit cards front and back so they can extort money. They threaten them with killing their family, burning their house down, posting the pictures all online. It results in kids, some of them becoming suicidal – it’s a major, major problem. So to me, millions of parents needed to hear about this.”

<h2>House Advances Trump-Backed Budget Bill</h2>

Topline: The House passed a budget blueprint on Thursday in a critical step toward a permanent renewal of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
GOP leaders were able to overcome conservative holdouts to push the budget reconciliation process forward for Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hold-trump-scores-big-beautiful-victory-house-budget-vote">“Big, Beautiful Bill.”</a> The legislation makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent and includes funding for Trump’s priorities on defense, energy, and immigration. It also lifts the debt limit for two years.
However: The Senate resolution recently approved by the House outlines about $400 billion in budget cuts, whereas the original House blueprint called for at least $1.5 trillion. Calls for deeper spending cuts among House conservatives drove much of the opposition to the bill.
Reconciliation is a complicated process, but the short version is that with this House vote, lawmakers in both chambers can now haggle over the final version of a budget bill. The eventual bill to come out of those negotiations only needs 50 votes in the Senate instead of the usual 60 to overcome a filibuster, but there’s always the concern that the gripes from House conservatives over Thursday’s bill could threaten the final bill as well. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said he hopes to have a bill on Trump’s desk by Memorial Day.
Meanwhile: According to the Trump administration, as many as 75 nations have offered to renegotiate trade deals with the United States in the wake of the 90-day pause on Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff scheme &#8212; a baseline tariff rate of 10% remains in force, however, while China has been singled out for retaliatory tariffs of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-lays-out-exact-tariff-rate-on-china-going-forward">145%</a>.
Inflation has also slowed at a greater-than-expected rate, according to the March Consumer Price Index, which <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/inflation-rate-eases-to-2point4percent-in-march-lower-than-expected.html">recorded</a> year-over-year inflation of 2.4%, below the projected 2.6%.

Topline: The <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/PSA/2025/PSA250306">FBI is warning</a> about the sharp rise in the sexual exploitation and extortion of minors online, leading to dozens of suicides of teens across the nation.
One form is called “sextortion” &#8212; sexual extortion is when a predator, usually an adult, either coerces or coaxes a minor into sending sexually explicit images or video footage, then extorts them over it. Predators will threaten to release that material unless the minor either produces additional explicit content or gives them cash. In some cases, the offenders are motivated by sexual gratification, but at other times, they are primarily after money.
The FBI posted a video last week about the sharp rise in sextortion, specifically citing a violent online network known as 7-6-4. Members in the U.S. and abroad are coercing minors and other vulnerable people to commit disturbing sex-related crimes or self-harm. “People have been asked to engage in cruelty to animals, self-mutilation of some sort,” FBI agent Ashley Johnson told <a href="https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/stl-fbi-warns-764-network-using-blackmail-to-exploit-minors-draft/">Fox 2</a> earlier this month. “In some cases we’ve had individuals ask children – if they knew they had a sibling – to film themselves sexually abusing their sibling.”
Another subtype of sexploitation primarily targets teen boys &#8212; offenders will pose as attractive women online and trick the minors into sending explicit content. They then threaten victims, telling them they will post the material publicly and send it to their friends and family if they don’t send payment. One report found that <a href="https://www.parents.com/more-teen-boys-being-threatened-with-sextortion-8623766?utm_source=chatgpt.com">90%</a> of all financially motivated sexual extortion victims were males between the ages of 14 and 17. These schemes have been linked to a string of suicides by young boys. A <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sacramento/news/sextortion-a-growing-threat-preying-upon-our-nations-teens#:~:text=The%20sextortion%20involved%20at%20least,the%20activity%20to%20law%20enforcement">memo</a> from the FBI’s Sacramento Field Office says that these sextortion offenders are often foreigners, primarily from West African countries like Nigeria and Ivory Coast or Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines.
From October 2021 to March 2023, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations received more than 13,000 reports of this activity. There were about 12,600 victims, who were mostly boys, and at least 20 suicides have been connected to these schemes. But those numbers are likely even higher &#8212; <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/02/25/teenage-boys-mental-health-suicide-sextortion-scams/78258882007/">a more recent report from USA Today</a> found that sextortion cases have been tied to at least 30 suicides of teen boys since 2021.
And this trend is growing. In just a six-month period in 2023, for example, the FBI saw a <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sacramento/news/sextortion-a-growing-threat-preying-upon-our-nations-teens#:~:text=The%20sextortion%20involved%20at%20least,the%20activity%20to%20law%20enforcement">20% increase</a> in reports of financially motivated sextortion. <a href="https://www.missingkids.org/cybertiplinedata">CyberTipline</a>, which is an organization run by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, received nearly 190,000 reports of Online Enticement of Children for Sexual Acts. That number has quadrupled since 2021, when the Tipline received around 44,000 reports.
<a href="https://info.thorn.org/hubfs/Research/Thorn_TrendsInFinancialSextortion_June2024.pdf?sm_guid=NzcxOTIyfDc4MzA5NjAxfC0xfGNlc2VAbmNvc2UuY29tfDcyMDIwMTJ8fDB8MHwyMjU0MzA0NTd8MTEzMnwwfDB8fDc2NjM5Nnww0">Instagram and Snapchat</a> are the two most-used apps for these crimes. Messages can disappear on both apps, which might lead to victims putting their guard down before sending over explicit images used against them. If you or someone you know thinks they’re a victim of sextortion, please call law enforcement. You can report it to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or by visiting <a href="https://tips.fbi.gov/">tips.fbi.gov</a>.
<h2>Social Security Scheme</h2>

Topline: A new investigation raises questions about activist judges’ roles in padding the Social Security database with dubious disability claims.
The Daily Wire’s Government Efficiency reporter, Luke Rosiak, found that dozens of judges overrule Social Security staff’s denials in almost every case they hear &#8212; granting what could amount to lifetime disability payments to people ruled ineligible to receive them.
About 1,200 administrative law judges are paid more than $200,000 a year to hear appeals from people who want to get disability benefits from Social Security despite having been ruled ineligible. They’re represented by a “union for judges,” the Association of Administrative Law Judges, that is suing to prevent the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project from accessing information about Social Security staff.
The president of that union, a Democratic donor named Som Ramrup, overturned the rulings of Social Security’s experts and approved payments in 94% of the cases she heard last year. Ronald Herman, who hears cases in the Detroit area, approved 95% of the nearly 1,300 cases he heard. Jan Leventer, hearing cases in Queens, approved 94% of 2,200 cases. Some, including one of the supervisory judges, actually approved payments in 100% of the cases they heard last year. You’d think judges would operate on the assumption that Social Security’s staff experts were right most of the time, but as a group, they’re much more deferential to the people asking for money. The data show that 85 judges overturned non-disabled determinations more than 80% of the time, while only 16 upheld them more than 80% of the time.
Some of these rates seem mathematically impossible, and it’s evidence that the process is broken. This is important because you’ll hear that it’s a fool’s errand to try to cut the federal deficit because much of it is so-called “non-discretionary” items like Medicare and Social Security. But this is an example of how the DOGE project might find waste in those areas, too.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was updated after a spokesman for Giuffre later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/epstein-accuser-made-a-mistake-with-post-claiming-she-had-four-days-to-live">admitted</a> the Instagram post was &#8220;a mistake.&#8221;
Virginia Giuffre, the most outspoken victim of deceased pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, claimed on Monday that she has “four days to live” after being struck by a school bus.
The crash took place in Western Australia, where Giuffre has been living with her husband. Police described the accident as a minor bus crash. “It was reported by the bus driver. We have no report of any serious injuries,” Acting Western Australian Police Commissioner Kylie Whiteley stated.
&#8220;Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending,&#8221; a spokesperson for Giuffre <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/31/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-virginia-guiffre-says-she-has-just-days-left-to-live-after-getting-hit-by-school-bus/">confirmed</a> to the New York Post.
Giuffre, 41, has accused some of the most powerful men in the world of sexual abuse of minors, including Prince Andrew and Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner.
She also <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/01/10/jeffrey-epstein-files-bill-clinton-ghislaine-maxwell/">recalled</a> that former president Bill Clinton allegedly made two trips to Little St. James, also known as “pedophile island,” to dine with the “beautiful” girls.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve gone into kidney renal failure, they&#8217;ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,&#8221; Giuffre continued in her post. &#8220;I&#8217;m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.&#8221;
Giuffre’s father, Sky Roberts, commented on his daughter’s post: &#8220;If there is anything in the world, I can do to help you, please let me know. My spirit is with you now and holding your hand.&#8221;
Giuffre became Epstein&#8217;s most prominent accuser after filing a lawsuit in 2015, alleging sex trafficking at age 16.
She <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/31/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-virginia-guiffre-says-she-has-just-days-left-to-live-after-getting-hit-by-school-bus/">accused</a> several powerful figures of abuse, including Prince Andrew, Victoria&#8217;s Secret founder Les Wexner, and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. All of the former have denied any wrongdoing.
Giuffre said she was “forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions when she was 17 — including on Epstein’s Little St. James island, in New Mexico, and in Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home,” per the New York Post.
A photograph of Giuffre with Prince Andrew around the time of the alleged offense became central evidence in favor of Giuffre, creating a scandal that rocked the British Royal Family.
To avoid a humiliating court battle with Giuffre, in 2022, Prince Andrew paid Giuffre a settlement reported to be approximately $12 million while admitting no liability.
The royal family cut off all ties with Andrew, who lost all royal and military titles, but continues to deny Giuffre’s accusations despite the settlement.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, with authorities deeming the death a suicide. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s close associate and ex-girlfriend, received a 20-year prison sentence in 2022 for her role in the sex trafficking operation.
Before Epstein&#8217;s death in jail, Giuffre had released a manuscript containing more than 2,000 documents related to her lawsuit against Epstein and his associates, further exposing the extensive network of powerful figures allegedly connected to the trafficking operation.
Giuffre&#8217;s willingness to speak out transformed her into the most visible face of Epstein&#8217;s victims, bringing unprecedented attention to the case.

British Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/keir-starmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keir Starmer&#8217;s</a> far-Left Labour Party blocked a push by the Conservative Party to open an investigation into child rape gangs that garnered significant international attention in recent weeks.
The Labour Party killed the push in a 364 to 111 vote, which comes after Elon Musk has repeatedly drawn attention to the Pakistani gangs that have predominately targeted young white children.
&#8220;The Prime Minister cannot tell the House the full scale of the scandal,&#8221; said Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. &#8220;He does not want questions asked of Labour politicians who may be complicit. He won&#8217;t listen to the victims who are calling for a National Inquiry.&#8221;

Musk fired back at Starmer on X: “What an insane thing to say!”
“The real reason is that it would show how Starmer repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents, in order to secure political support,” Musk said. “Starmer is utterly despicable.”
The British newspaper The Telegraph highlighted the coverup of the mass rapes by British officials who were worried that exposing the crimes could lead to mass civil unrest and disrupt social cohesion.
The report highlighted extremely graphic and highly disturbing detailed accounts of the violent sexual assaults that the rape gangs inflicted upon young girls.

Donations for an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arkansas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arkansas</a> man named Aaron Spencer, 36, poured in online this week, after Spencer was arrested for killing 67-year-old Michael Fosler, whom Spencer found with his missing 14-year-old daughter.
According to a Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heathernmalachi/posts/10160398652855418?ref=embed_post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> from Spencer&#8217;s wife, the family had a no-contact order out against Fosler for allegedly stalking their daughter over the summer. Back in July, Fosler was <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/10/11/arkansas-father-aaron-spencer-shoots-man-found-with-daughter/75627489007/?fbclid=IwY2xjawF-UN9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSv2S56AMWrsGfdqHDy_PX9uP9iUnkgEhg8eFYs0LGXRdDT9cZHhms37AA_aem_rIc6ZLLpz1nOCI7IkhCUjg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> arrested by another agency for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault.
&#8220;This man had a no contact order for stalking/graping (sic) our child,&#8221; Heather Spencer said in the Facebook post. &#8220;We absolutely called 911 during the entire event. We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again.&#8221;
&#8220;He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness,&#8221; the post continued. &#8220;We 100% in the moment thought he had taken her to kill her.&#8221;
Spencer, who&#8217;s been released since posting bond, was arrested on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder, which is a Class Y felony, and booked into Lonoke County Detention Center, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/arkansas-dad-accused-killing-man-he-found-with-daughter-14-could-use-heat-passion-defense-attorney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> this week.
Defense lawyers told Fox they suspect Spencer will see his charges reduced based on the circumstances of the incident.
When the public heard about Spencer&#8217;s arrest, more than $100,000 in donations reportedly poured in through a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-hero-legal-fees-for-a-brave-father?attribution_id=sl:87fcfe5f-8ec3-4026-bdbf-7b0c13838bf1&amp;utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash_ai&amp;utm_content=amp8_t4&amp;utm_medium=customer&amp;utm_source=copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GoFundMe</a> account for legal expenses. However, the platform reportedly pulled the fundraiser without explanation.
&#8220;Our GoFundMe me was removed and people are being issued refunds,&#8221; Heather Spencer said. &#8220;If you donated I apologize I have no idea why this is happening.&#8221;
A <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/GDGSG?utm_source=sharelink&amp;utm_medium=copy_link&amp;utm_campaign=GDGSG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GiveSendGo</a> account was then created for Spencer. Currently, the account is closed, but offers the following message:
<blockquote>Words cannot express how deeply appreciative we are for the support coming in all over the world. We have reached far beyond our goal in less than a week. The rest of our fundraising will be done through Gun Owners of Arkansas and will be pinned across all socials. Update will follow soon. Please continue to share our story far and wide. Thank you and God bless you all.</blockquote>

&#8220;After conducting research and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the incident involving Mr. Aaron Spencer, Gun Owners of Arkansas has concluded that he was justified in his actions under Arkansas Self Defense Law, despite being preliminarily charged with first-degree murder,&#8221; the group said. &#8220;We have mobilized our Defense Fund Account to support a fellow gun owner.&#8221;
Heather Spencer said online that her daughter is a &#8220;victim&#8221; and &#8220;prayers&#8221; are holding her family together.
&#8220;At the end of the day, our daughter is a victim and we have a long road of recovery for everyone,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;We are so thankful for all the calls, messages and prayers. Despite the legal stuff, our family has been through something we don’t wish on anyone. Please keep us in your prayers, if you can donate, great, but prayers are holding us together right now.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sean-diddy-combs">Sean “Diddy” Combs</a> has been given a date for his upcoming trial for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sexual-abuse">sex trafficking</a> and racketeering <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit">charges</a> filed in September.
The music mogul attended a hearing on Thursday during which it was announced that his trial will begin May 5, 2025, in Manhattan. Combs appeared in court wearing a beige prison uniform and sitting beside his attorneys. US District Judge Arun Subramanian issued a gag order preventing his attorneys or prosecutors from discussing the case publicly or with the media.
Combs’ family, including his six children and his mother, were in attendance at the hearing. The rap artist was seen mouthing &#8220;I love you&#8221; to the group and putting his hand to his heart, per <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0qz32wzeego">BBC</a>.
The 54-year-old was arrested in September. Federal authorities allege Combs had “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes,” per a U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York. 
Prosecutors also said Combs “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals. This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-charged-with-racketeering-sex-trafficking-by-force">reported</a>.
Combs is also facing 120 or more additional lawsuits in the near future, including complaints from at least 25 minors. Attorney Tony Buzbee said that his law firm, along with California firm AVA Law Group, would be filing the cases individually rather than as part of a class action suit.
The rapper’s mother issued a statement addressing the charges, saying, “It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies. To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
Combs pleaded not guilty to federal charges and has been denied bail twice.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rock-and-roll">Sum 41</a> frontman Deryck Whibley has accused his former manager and mentor Greig Nori of sexual and verbal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sexual-abuse">abuse,</a> starting when Whibley was a teenager.
The Canadian-born singer discusses the allegations as part of his upcoming memoir, “Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell,” which was released on Tuesday. Nori is the frontman of the Canadian band Treble Charger. The two met when Whibley was 16 and Nori was 34, per <a href="https://people.com/sum-41-deryck-whibley-claims-former-manager-sexually-abused-him-8724712">People</a>.
Whibley claimed Nori spoke of a “special connection” they shared and was the first person to give him alcohol. Nori served as a musical inspiration for Sum 41 and eventually became the band&#8217;s manager.
&#8220;Greig had one requirement to be our manager — he wanted total control,” Whibley asserted in the book. “We couldn’t talk to anyone but him, because the music business is ‘full of snakes and liars’ and he was the only person we could trust.”
Whibley accused Nori of “passionately” kissing him when he was 18. The singer claims to have told Nori that he was not gay. Nori allegedly responded by saying most rock stars are “queer&#8221; and that &#8220;most people are bisexual; they’re just too afraid to admit it,” according to the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-10-07/sum-41s-deryck-whibley-alleges-sexual-abuse-by-former-manager-in-new-memoir-walking-disaster">Los Angeles Times</a>. They began to have sexual encounters, Whibley claimed.
&#8220;He was so relentless and convincing that after a while, I started to believe that maybe he was right,&#8221; Whibley wrote in his memoir.
 Nori also allegedly told Whibley that he wasn&#8217;t gay either, but said Whibley &#8220;brought it out in him because what we had was so special.&#8221; Whibley wrote about how Nori became angry and called him “homophobic” for trying to end the sexual encounters.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
&#8220;He told me this was all my fault to begin with because I should never have said yes to it in the first place. I started this and now he was in it with me so I couldn’t just stop,&#8221; Whibley wrote in the book. 
The Sum 41 singer said he told his ex-wife, singer Avril Lavigne, about the abuse while they were dating and also told his current wife, model Ariana Cooper. He said both women agreed that Nori’s alleged behavior was abusive. 
Whibley wrote that Cooper said, “He groomed you from a young teen and mentally forced you. You said no, you didn’t want to do this anymore, and he told you it had to continue or you would lose everything. That’s psychological, mental, and physical abuse.”
The recording artist wrote about how the alleged sexual abuse ended but verbal abuse continued until Nori was fired by the band in 2004.

As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sean-diddy-combs">Sean “Diddy” Combs</a> remains behind bars awaiting federal trial, a Houston lawyer has announced he will be filing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit">lawsuits</a> against the recording artist on behalf of more than 120 plaintiffs, including at least 25 minors.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said that his law firm, along with California firm AVA Law Group, will be filing the cases individually rather than as part of a class action suit. “We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors,” Buzbee said during the news conference, per <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/diddy-lawsuits-120-new-sex-abuse-victims-lawyer/">Billboard.</a> “We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”
Buzbee said the alleged <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime">incidents</a> occurred between 1991 and 2024. The lawyer&#8217;s office was contacted by more than 3,000 individuals and the number of filings could increase as vetting continues. He said he would begin filing lawsuits in multiple states over the next 30 days.
In addition to these new suits, at least 12 individuals have filed civil lawsuits against Combs over the last year. Federal prosecutors previously stated that there are “dozens of victims” who are referenced in the racketeering and sex trafficking case against Combs. 
Buzbee alleged that in one case, a 9-year-old boy was sexually abused after he auditioned at the Bad Boy Records Studio in New York City, per <a href="https://people.com/sean-diddy-combs-accused-sexually-abusing-boy-nine-8721579">People</a>.
“Other boys were there to audition as well,” the lawyer stated. “All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors. This individual [the 9-year-old] was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio with the promise to both his parents and himself of getting a record deal.”
The lawsuits are close to evenly split between male and female plaintiffs. Alleged victims claimed they were abused at all different types of Diddy&#8217;s parties, including album release events, New Year&#8217;s Eve, &#8220;all white parties,&#8221; &#8220;puppy parties,&#8221; and at auditions in Los Angeles, Miami, Manhattan, and the Hamptons.
Combs’s attorney Erica Wolff denied the allegations, saying, &#8220;As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

Federal authorities allege Combs had “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes,” per a U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York press release. 
Prosecutors also said Combs “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals. This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-charged-with-racketeering-sex-trafficking-by-force">reported</a>.
The filing also made mention of sex parties referred to as “freak offs.” 
The rapper allegedly used “force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers” during the events, prosecutors said. “In arranging these Freak Offs, COMBS, with the assistance of members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, transported, and caused to be transported, commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally.”
Combs pleaded not guilty to federal charges and has been denied bail twice.

Diddy Faces More Than 120 Additional Abuse Lawsuits From At Least 25 Minors

Some of the most revealing moments from the sordid saga of Jeffrey Epstein came when government officials were asked direct questions, then ducked them without any real explanation. Case in point: Five years ago, the Labor Secretary at the time, Alex Acosta, was speaking to reporters about his handling of the first Epstein criminal case from 2008, when Acosta was a U.S. Attorney in Florida. This was the press conference right before Acosta&#8217;s resignation as Labor Secretary. For roughly an hour, Acosta tried to explain why his office had offered an extremely lenient <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/labor-secretary-to-hold-news-conference-to-defend-himself-amid-outcry-over-handling-of-epstein-plea-deal/2019/07/10/b136b9a4-a321-11e9-b7b4-95e30869bd15_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea deal</a> to Epstein — one that offered immunity to his co-conspirators, and barely required Epstein to spend any time in a jail cell. Acosta was generally responsive to most questions during this press conference. In fact, at one point, he waved off his assistant who wanted to end the press conference early.
But there was one question that Alex Acosta very clearly did not want to answer. It concerned <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/i-was-told-epstein-belonged-to-intelligence-and-to-leave-it-alone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> in the Daily Beast that, in a discussion with Trump administration officials before his appointment as Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta had said that Epstein, &#8220;belonged to intelligence.&#8221; In other words, Acosta had reportedly suggested to the Trump team that, when he was the U.S. Attorney, he was told by senior U.S. government officials to go easy on Epstein so that he could stay out of jail. Presumably, the idea was that Epstein could then continue connecting various powerful figures to his sex-trafficking ring. That would, in turn, benefit U.S. intelligence agencies in some way. Maybe they might want to blackmail Epstein&#8217;s associates or collect information about them, for example.
Here&#8217;s how Alex Acosta answered — or rather, didn&#8217;t answer — a reporter&#8217;s question about the Daily Beast&#8217;s reporting:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Acosta V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L9xkKZHB-6k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That wasn&#8217;t exactly a denial. Instead of saying, &#8220;No, I wasn&#8217;t told to go easy on Jeffrey Epstein because he &#8216;belonged to intelligence,'&#8221; Alex Acosta said that department policy prevented him from offering any kind of response. It&#8217;s not hard to conclude that Acosta was hiding something. That&#8217;s especially true since, according to public documents in Epstein&#8217;s plea deal, it&#8217;s stated that Epstein had <a href="https://x.com/TheViewFromLL2/status/1149424300438577153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to provide, &#8220;information to the FBI.&#8221;
The government&#8217;s handling of Epstein&#8217;s case raised the obvious question of how many other deviants like Epstein might enjoy protection from the government, in one way or the other. How many other sex traffickers have been operating with impunity because the government is deliberately looking the other way?

That&#8217;s a particularly important question to be asking after what happened yesterday involving Sean Combs — a.k.a. Diddy, a.k.a. Puff Daddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy. The U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York held a press conference announcing a series of criminal charges against Combs, including racketeering and sex trafficking. And by the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s own admission, these alleged offenses have been occurring for a very long time, and often involved something that Combs called &#8220;freak-offs.&#8221; Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Freak offs" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QhzFdgNgvQk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to the U.S. Attorney, there&#8217;s overwhelming evidence that these illegal &#8220;freak-offs&#8221; occurred, such as text messages, videos, and more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant. As soon as the feds executed the search warrants earlier this year on two of Combs&#8217; mansions, the evidence was all there. And according to the indictment that was unsealed yesterday, there&#8217;s also a lot of evidence that Sean Combs has been committing serious crimes for the past decade, right <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/1iSrpU9eql323koZY7Omi0TmOWzrIOpSQ/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">out in the open</a>: &#8220;Physical abuse by Sean Combs &#8230;. was recurrent and widely known. On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, Combs assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them.&#8221; That&#8217;s directly from the Grand Jury indictment.
<h4><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a></h4>
What&#8217;s not stated in the Grand Jury indictment is why this &#8220;widely known&#8221; conduct was ignored for so long. Why wasn&#8217;t Sean Combs charged criminally for any of this conduct at any point until yesterday? Why was he allowed to allegedly commit crimes that were, &#8220;recurrent and widely known&#8221; ever since 2009? As it happens, that was the very first question that the U.S. Attorney received at yesterday&#8217;s press conference. Here&#8217;s how the U.S. Attorney responded:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 why it took so long" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ilyQwegdtgY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Like Alex Acosta, he has no answer whatsoever. But this is the single most important question he was asked during the entire press conference. How exactly can people have any confidence in the government, or federal prosecutors, if — by their own admission — it takes them well over a decade to bring charges when someone is allegedly committing crimes that are &#8220;recurrent and widely known&#8221;? Why exactly shouldn&#8217;t we believe that P. Diddy was being protected for some reason, just like Jeffrey Epstein was apparently protected? 
At this point, the burden of proof is not on us to answer that question. The burden is on the government.
It certainly looks as though there was ample reason to at least investigate Combs, going back a long time. There&#8217;s so much creepy and inappropriate footage involving Sean Combs that we could spend all day going through it. Here for example is a video of Combs with Justin Bieber, who at the time was just 15 years old. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

What kind of adult records a video like this with a child? He&#8217;s saying he&#8217;s going to do some undisclosed things with Justin Bieber. He&#8217;s talking about having custody of him, like he had custody of Usher. This would be disturbing even if there were no other videos like it. But there&#8217;s a lot of videos like it. Here&#8217;s another. Watch as Sean Combs tells Kevin Hart that he used to &#8220;wrestle&#8221; with Usher when Usher was just 10 years old. And then he says something else that sounds inappropriate, and Kevin Hart reacts as you&#8217;d expect. Watch:

&nbsp;
These kinds of videos have been all over the Internet for years. Did anyone in the government follow up on any of this? Did they ask anyone any questions about them? Did they apply for any kind of search warrant to look closer at Sean Combs&#8217; text messages, or to look for incriminating evidence on his properties? If not, why not? And for that matter, why wasn&#8217;t Combs charged after this video surfaced from a hotel in 2016, which appears to show him violently beating a woman on camera? Watch:

How exactly did that footage stay hidden for so long — long enough that the statute of limitations ran out, and local prosecutors couldn&#8217;t bring charges anymore? That&#8217;s the kind of question that a lot of people in the entertainment industry have been asking for a very long time. When there are multiple videos where you appear to be committing a crime, or engaging in very bizarre and disturbing conduct, then under normal circumstances you&#8217;d expect some follow-up. But there wasn&#8217;t any follow-up here. For his part, Kanye West repeatedly called Sean Combs a &#8220;fed&#8221; — both in interviews, and in text messages — probably because there didn&#8217;t appear to be any other rational explanation for how he could get away with this for more than a decade. How can anyone engage in conduct like this, without suffering any consequences for it, for so long?
One theory is that, like Epstein, Sean Combs was very well-connected with powerful people in Washington. In April of 2020, for example, Kamala Harris tweeted out <a href="https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1248624302682828802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this message</a>: 
&#8220;Thank you, @Diddy, for hosting this town hall last night. There&#8217;s a lot at stake for our communities right now and it&#8217;s critical we bring to the forefront how coronavirus is perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities.&#8221;
So Sean Combs was helping to push Democrats&#8217; messaging that COVID was racist. This was during the summer of 2020, when calling everything racist was the Democrats&#8217; official campaign strategy. Meanwhile, other prominent &#8220;entertainers&#8221; — people like Jimmy Kimmel — suggested that Sean Combs could serve as president of the United States. After all, he&#8217;s not morally bankrupt like Donald Trump, right? Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hi <a href="https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jimmykimmel</a>, will you still be running for office as P Diddy’s Vice President?

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
One of the main takeaways from this is that the entertainment industry is full of extravagantly degenerate scumbags. These are people engaging in debauchery and opulence once reserved for the most corrupt Roman emperors. Diddy produced some low IQ gangsta rap in the 90s and found himself in the same position. This is why so much of what the entertainment industry produces is garbage. It’s made by morally reprobate parasites. These aren’t flawed artistic geniuses like we’ve had in the past, but vacuous airheads who’ve figured out how to sell trash to an audience even more vapid than they are. 
Jimmy Kimmel probably knew Sean Combs was a piece of garbage when he did this interview. But Jimmy Kimmel is also a piece of garbage, along with pretty much everyone else in the industry. So we get clips like that one.

Meanwhile, the &#8220;#MeToo&#8221; movement successfully canceled a lot of guys for some bad dates, but somehow it missed Sean Combs. Somehow he flew under the radar for more than a decade, even though, according to yesterday&#8217;s indictment, he wasn&#8217;t particularly good at hiding what he was doing. If those details are true, Sean Combs is an Epstein-level monster, if not worse. And yet no one did anything about it.
The question now is whether Sean Combs will meet the same fate as Jeffrey Epstein. Combs was just denied bail, even though his defense team offered to put up a $50 million bond, secured by his various properties. That&#8217;s a sign that he&#8217;ll be staying in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for a very long time. So as with Epstein, the government is now bringing down the hammer on Sean Combs, abruptly and without any real explanation. And if the Epstein case is any indication, we probably will never get an explanation.
All we can say with certainty is that a lot of people in Sean Combs&#8217; orbit are probably very nervous right now. And in turn, that should make Sean Combs himself very nervous. Five years after the death of Jeffrey Epstein, we&#8217;re no closer to getting a full explanation of his crimes or who he was associated with. Instead, with the arrest of Sean Combs and the sudden disclosure of his &#8220;freak offs&#8221;, there&#8217;s reason to think that yet another massive coverup is already underway.

Sex Crimes

A female middle school teacher in New Jersey has been charged with sexual assault after the school’s vice principal alerted authorities about an inappropriate relationship.
Allison Havemann-Niedrach, 43, has been charged with one count of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, according to <a href="https://mcponj.org/2024/06/29/intermediate-school-teacher-charged-with-engaging-in-sexual-relationship-with-student/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a press release</a> from the Monmouth County prosecutor’s office.
Havemann-Niedrach was a special education teacher at Freehold Intermediate School, where she allegedly began courting a 15-year-old boy who was in the eighth grade. In early June, the school’s vice principal alerted authorities about Havemann-Niedrach and the student, with reports saying that she would bring the student food, eat lunch with him every day, and touch him inappropriately.
“The victim told a friend that he was dating a teacher,” Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Danielle Zanzuccki said in court, <a href="https://www.jerseyshoreonline.com/monmouth-county/teacher-on-home-detention-after-sex-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Jersey Shore Online</a>. “Another teacher reported that she witnessed the defendant rubbing the victim’s neck and back area in a circular motion and that she appeared to be flirting with him and noticed her touching his leg.”
The alleged victim’s mother was informed about the allegations, and she revealed that her daughter had seen her son sitting in the teacher’s car and had been on the phone late at night. The male student at first denied that he had any inappropriate relationship with Havemann-Niedrach, saying instead that he was dating her daughter. He agreed to let police search his phone, where they discovered more than 25,000 text messages between him and the teacher, including deleted messages that police were able to recover.
Days later, the student’s mother contacted police again, saying her son was afraid after turning over his phone. The student eventually admitted to his mother that he had a sexual relationship with Havemann-Niedrach, which he told police began in January of this year.
Zanzuccki said in court that the sexual activity took place at the teacher’s house.
“This was so much for this kid that he ended up having a mental health crisis in the middle of the investigation,” Zanzuccki told the court. “I would submit that she’s obsessed with this child.”
The student asked the police to keep his cell phone, believing it was the only way to stop communication with Havemann-Niedrach.
In addition to the text messages, sexually explicit photos and videos were exchanged between the two.
“There are photographs of a sexual nature passed between the two,” Zanzuccki said. “As well as a video of them engaging in sexual conduct.”
Havemann-Niedrach’s attorney, William Wackowski of the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall, argued against pretrial detention, citing his client’s lack of a criminal record and said she wasn’t a flight risk. She was released to home detention at her parents’ house.
“She was a special education teacher,” Judge Vincent Falcetano said, according to JSO. “And should have known that that line is even closer than it is for a regular teacher.”
Havemann-Niedrach is married, has two children, and was previously <a href="https://www.jerseyshoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/girlsc1.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">named</a> one of the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore’s 2017 Phenomenal Women Under 40.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/paris-hilton">Paris Hilton</a> testified on Capitol Hill about her experiences in youth residential facilities, stating that she was “force-fed medications and sexually abused.”

“These programs promised healing, growth, and support, but instead, did not allow me to speak, move freely, or even look out a window for two years,&#8221; she added. 
&#8220;I was force-fed medications and sexually abused by the staff,” Hilton continued. “I was violently restrained and dragged down hallways, stripped naked, and thrown into solitary confinement.&#8221;

&#8220;So, can you only imagine the experience for youth who were placed by the state and don&#8217;t have people regularly checking in on them?&#8221; Hilton asked.
&#8220;This $23 billion-a-year industry sees this population as dollar signs and operates without meaningful oversight,&#8221; she added. &#8220;What is more important? Protecting business profits or protecting foster youth lives?&#8221;
Hilton added, &#8220;As a mom, these stories break my heart,&#8221; and said that the reason she testified was “to be a voice for the children whose voices can&#8217;t be heard.&#8221;

&#8220;I was repeatedly awakened by staff shining a bright flashlight in my face, pulled out of bed and told to be quiet as I was ushered down my dorm’s hallway to an &#8216;exam room,'&#8221; Hilton wrote. &#8220;Sleep-deprived and heavily medicated, I didn’t understand what was happening.&#8221;
&#8220;I was forced to lie on a padded table, spread my legs and submit to gynecological exams,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I remember crying while they held me down. I kept saying, &#8216;No!&#8217; and asking, &#8216;Why?&#8217; They just said, &#8216;Shut up. Be quiet. Stop struggling or you’ll go to Obs.'&#8221;
&#8220;Obs – short for observation – was solitary confinement in a tiny cinderblock room with nothing but a drain and a roll of toilet paper,&#8221; Hilton continued. &#8220;The room was freezing cold, and I was almost naked. I paced until I couldn’t stand up anymore. Then I huddled on the floor and rocked back and forth, forcing myself to think about the life I would create for myself after I got out.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/american-airlines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Airlines</a> is backing away from its court filing blaming a nine-year-old girl for not noticing the hidden camera a flight attendant allegedly planted in the aircraft&#8217;s bathroom.
A former American flight attendant is accused of taping his iPhone to the toilet seat and then luring young girls to use the airplane bathroom.
Attorneys for the airline initially blamed the child, saying in a court filing that any injuries the girl suffered were due to her “own fault and negligence, were proximately caused by [her] use of the compromised lavatory, which she knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.”
On Thursday, however, the airline distanced itself from that accusation.
An American Airlines spokesperson <a href="https://apnews.com/article/american-airlines-blames-girl-hidden-camera-4b474bf3d8c8803872dbb7e12032d13e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that external attorneys working for the airline had “made an error in this filing.”
“Our outside legal counsel retained with our insurance company made an error in this filing. The included defense is not representative of our airline and we have directed it be amended this morning,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;We do not believe this child is at fault and we take the allegations involving a former team member very seriously. Our core mission is to care for people — and the foundation of that is the safety and security of our customers and team.”
The 9-year-old’s family sued American Airlines after the FBI informed them that videos of their daughter were found on the former flight attendant&#8217;s phone. The family had flown from Texas to California last year.
The fired flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, pled not guilty this week to charges of attempted sexual exploitation of children and possession of images of child sexual abuse.

Thomas is accused of having recordings of four girls, including the nine-year-old, using bathrooms on flights. He is also accused of trying to secretly record a video of a 14-year-old girl using the bathroom on a flight from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Boston.
He was arrested in January and has remained in federal custody since then.
The court filing was amended on Wednesday. The new filing does not include the accusation that the girl&#8217;s injuries were her own fault. The case is making its way through a state district court in Austin.
On Tuesday, an attorney representing the 9-year-old, as well as the 14-year-old, excoriated the airline&#8217;s defense.
“To blame a 9 year old for being filmed while using the airplane bathroom is both shocking and outrageous,” attorney Paul Llewellyn <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4678026-american-airlines-says-filing-blaming-9-year-old-in-bathroom-recording-case-was-an-error/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“In my opinion this is a depraved legal strategy that sinks to a new low. American Airlines should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves,” he added.
The 9-year-old’s mother <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4678026-american-airlines-says-filing-blaming-9-year-old-in-bathroom-recording-case-was-an-error/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement through her attorney, “How in good conscience could they even make such a suggestion?”
Thompson is due in federal court in Boston on July 1.
