Large groups of teenagers have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pure-chaos-chicago-neighborhood-terrified-as-hundreds-of-rowdy-teens-shut-down-street-for-hours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gathered</a> in the streets of Chicago multiple times over the summer for coordinated “teen takeovers” that often turn violent — but leftist Mayor Brandon Johnson is concerned about people calling the groups a “mob.” 
Johnson, who was elected earlier this year, bragged about his “unique approach” to reaching Chicago’s youth as the city faces a wave of issues resulting from teenage crowds hitting the streets. After another “teen takeover” last weekend, Chicago police arrested 40 youths who were fighting and looting a convenience store, The Chicago Tribune <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mayor-brandon-johnson-defends-response-to-teen-gatherings-migrant-crisis-my-administration-is-different/ar-AA1eI08I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. At a news conference Wednesday, Johnson said he ordered the arrests and was proud of the officers&#8217; &#8220;sensitivity and patience&#8221; when dealing with the teens.
Police “attempted to engage with our young people, with community partners, giving as much warning as they possibly could,” Johnson said. 
“That’s a unique approach. You know, many people expect us to treat people undignified. My administration is different,” Johnson said. “Unfortunately, arrests were made. Unfortunately, some damage was caused. And the level of sensitivity and patience that our officers expressed, I’m appreciative of that. That is constitutional. That is a system of care.”
Johnson then complained that the rowdy teenagers were referred to as a “mob.” 
“That’s not appropriate. We’re not talking about mob actions,” Johnson said. “We have to be careful when we use language to describe certain behavior. There’s a history in this city, and, I mean, to refer to children as like baby Al Capones is not appropriate.”
Teenagers have gathered on <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-flash-mob-teen-takeover-gas-station-news/13409590/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">numerous</a> <a href="https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/week-in-review-chicago-teen-mob-gas-station-fight-facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occasions</a> in the city over the spring and summer, looting stores and jumping on parked vehicles. The gatherings are mostly orchestrated over social media. 
In June, hundreds of teens shut down a main street in the Lakeview neighborhood for six hours, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. One resident told WGN that she called 911 but was told “there was nothing they could do.”

“They were so overwhelmed at the moment that there were just way too many calls coming in,” the woman said. 
Police who initially arrived on the scene were vastly outnumbered by the teens. The group started with a few dozen but eventually grew to more than 300 as word spread through social media.
“It’s terrifying,” said Grace Rohen, telling WGN that she also heard gunshots during the teen takeover. “It has been very chaotic and as somebody who’s lived in Lakeview for the past three years, it’s very scary to see how things have changed over time.”

New details have emerged about where <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arizona">Arizona</a> teen Alicia Navarro was during the four years she was considered missing.
Navarro had reportedly been seen with an unknown man numerous times in Havre, Montana, the town where she walked into a police station last week to remove herself from the missing person list. Garrett Smith, who lived in the same apartment building as Navarro, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/29/alicia-navarro-fought-with-man-threatened-to-go-back-before-reappearance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the New York Post he heard her fighting with the man she was living with.
“I was here the other day and I heard them yelling. She did say, ‘I will go back.’ But that’s all I heard,” he told the outlet. “It was the day before she turned herself in.”
It is not yet known how Navarro got to Montana, but Smith told the Post that she and a man in his 20s had been living in the apartment complex for at least a year. Smith also said he spoke to Navarro for the first time when she said she was “looking for her uncle” near a post office. This occurred just days before she walked into the Havre police station.
“She was asking for directions. She looked scared,” he said, adding that she didn’t appear to know the area.
Navarro reportedly <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/29/alicia-navarro-told-montana-cops-she-wanted-a-drivers-license/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> authorities that she wanted to be removed from the missing person’s list so she could get a driver’s license and live a “normal life.”
“She said she was walking with her uncle and got lost and she’s looking for 6th Street,” Smith said. “I later found out that she was referring to him as her uncle.”
Jessica Nunez reported her daughter missing after she disappeared at the age of 14 on September 15, 2019. At the time, Navarro left a note saying, “I ran away. I will be back, I swear. I’m sorry.” Her mother feared that Navarro might have been lured away from home by someone she met on the internet. Nunez also noted that her daughter was diagnosed as high-functioning on the autism spectrum, the AP reported.
Navarro’s disappearance launched a nationwide search that included help from the FBI, which received thousands of tips over the years, Glendale, Arizona, police spokesman Jose Santiago said at <a href="https://fb.watch/m2hnWUMorl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a press conference</a> on Wednesday.
“For more than four years detectives here have followed up on THOUSANDS of leads,” the Glendale Police Department posted on Facebook. “This week, Alicia walked into a police department in a small town in Montana and identified herself. At that point, Federal partners, local police along with detectives here at Glendale Police began their investigation into this individual. Through our interviews, along with family members, we are confident that the now 18-year-old young lady is indeed Alicia Navarro.”
The police department cautioned that the case was not closed.
“We are continuing to investigate her whereabouts for the last four years and will do so alongside our Federal partners. Alicia is asking for privacy at this time. We are thankful we can bring some type of closure to her family. We are also thankful she appears to be in good health and happy.”

New Details Emerge About Arizona Teen Missing For 4 Years Who Recently Came Forward

Missing Person

A North Carolina teenager who was flying for the first time skip-lagged on his flight — meaning his ticket was booked for connecting flights but he never boarded the second — and was detained at the initial airport, taken to a security room, and then interrogated.
Logan Parsons, 17, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was flying on an American Airlines ticket from Gainesville, Florida to New York’s JFK airport with a stop in Charlotte.  The ticket was purchased with the intent that Logan would get off in Charlotte, as it was a cheaper fare than a direct flight to Charlotte, a practice nicknamed “skip-lagging.” But his North Carolina ID caused an agent at the airport to be suspicious of his true intended destination, prompting him to be detained.
Logan’s father Hunter said his family has skiplagged before, acknowledging, “We&#8217;ve used Skip Lagged almost exclusively for the last five to eight years.”
“They kind of got out of him that he was planning to disboard (sic) in Charlotte and not going to make the connecting flight,” Hunter Parsons said of this son being detained. “Our concerns are he is a minor and was kind of left to fend for himself several states away. &#8230; I think a stern warning, ‘Hey, this is frowned upon. If you do it again there would be consequences, financial penalties,’” Hunter Parsons told <a href="https://www.qcnews.com/news/local-news/father-says-son-was-detained-at-airport-before-having-to-purchase-a-new-ticket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen City News</a>.
“It’s the first time he’s flown, and he really doesn’t know what he is doing,” aviation attorney Bruce Brandon told Queen City News. “It seems to be a bit harsh to me. I just don’t understand why they would do this.”
“Was it a security issue or was it a contract issue?” Brandon wondered. “Was he held against his will in that back room?”
“Purchasing a ticket without intending to fly all flights to gain lower fares (hidden city ticketing) is a violation of American Airlines terms and conditions and is outlined in our Conditions of Carriage online,” American Airlines noted in a statement.
In 2014, United Airlines and Orbitz sued Skiplagged; a Chicago judge <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2015/05/01/investing/united-airlines-lawsuit-skiplagged/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> the lawsuit in 2015. In 2019 it was <a href="https://simpleflying.com/united-airlines-skiplagging/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that United Airlines sent an internal memo to airport staff to look out for skiplagging and report it to higher-ups at the company.
Last year a report <a href="https://lifehacker.com/youre-going-to-get-caught-skiplagging-and-it-s-not-goi-1849041104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that United Airlines would fine people who repeatedly skiplagged and that airlines could ban passengers from their airline if they skiplagged.

One of two Iowa teenagers who murdered their high school Spanish teacher over a bad grade has been sentenced to life in prison.
Willard Miller, 17, was sentenced on Thursday for the murder, and could be eligible for parole after 35 years. His accomplice, Jeremy Goodale, 18, has yet to be sentenced. The two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iowa-teens-plead-guilty-to-killing-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded guilty</a> in April to killing 66-year-old Nohema Graber in November 2021.
At his sentencing, Miller reportedly showed little emotion as District Judge Shawn Showers issued his sentence, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/willard-miller-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Showers reportedly said the sentence was appropriate despite Miller’s age because he had “cut Nohema Graber’s precious life short.”
“I find that your intent and actions were sinister and evil. Those acts resulted in the intentional loss of human life in a brutal fashion. There is no excuse. There is not a systemic, societal problem that explains or justifies your actions,” Showers said during sentencing.
Prior to the sentencing, Miller apologized to Graber’s family, along with his own family and that of Goodale.
“I would like to apologize for my actions, first and foremost to the family,” he said, according to the Post. “I am sincerely sorry for the distress I have caused you and the devastation I have caused your family.”
“I’m realizing just the magnitude of my actions, and I know it’s wrong, and I knew it was wrong, and yet I still carried through. I still did what I did, and I accept responsibility for that,” he added.
At the time of the murder, both teens were 16.

Goodale reportedly testified that Miller had initiated the plan to kill Graber and they both attacked her with a baseball bat.
“On Nov. 2 of 2021, I met Willard Miller at Chautauqua Park, and I understood that he had intent to kill Mrs. Graber,” Goodale said when pleading guilty.
He added that Miller “brought a bat among other supplies to go through with the murder.”
“After he had struck Nohema Graber, he then moved her off of the trail where I then struck her and she died as a result,” Goodale added, according to the Post. “Afterwards, we removed any evidence that we could.”
Prosecutors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teenagers-allegedly-killed-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-prosecutors-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged</a> that Miller and Goodale followed Graber to a park where she was known to take daily walks after school and killed her, the Post previously <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/02/iowa-students-willard-miller-jeremy-goodale-killed-teacher-nohema-graber-over-bad-grade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Earlier that same day, Miller had met with Graber to discuss the low grade she had given him, court documents reviewed by the Post show.
“The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder of Graber which directly connects Miller,” said the court documents, which were filed by Jefferson County Attorney Chauncey Moulding and Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown.
The next day, Graber’s body was found hidden under a tarp, wheelbarrow, and railroad ties in the park where she had been walking.
Witnesses reportedly told police they saw two males driving Graber’s van away from the park less than an hour after she had arrived for her daily walk. The vehicle was later found abandoned on a rural road. A witness said they picked Miller and Goodale up from that same road, according to court documents.
Miller allegedly told police he was angry about the low grade Graber had given him, which was dragging down his grade point average. The teenager denied killing Graber but “later stated he had knowledge of everything but did not participate,” claiming a “roving group of masked kids” killed his teacher and forced him to hide the body, court documents said.
Meanwhile, Goodale was allegedly bragging about the murder over Snapchat. Police were given photos of a Snapchat conversation where Goodale allegedly indicated he and Miller were involved in Graber’s murder.

Iowa Teen Who Killed Spanish Teacher Over Bad Grade Sentenced To Life In Prison

Murder

The man accused of murdering two teenage best friends in Delphi, Indiana, in 2017 allegedly admitted to his wife in a jailhouse phone call that he killed the teen girls.
Prosecutors allege that Richard Allen, 50, confessed to his wife during a phone call from jail on April 3, 2023, <a href="https://allensuperiorcourt.us/delphi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently released court documents</a> show. Allen’s wife abruptly hung up after the confession, the court documents say.
“Investigators had the phone call transcribed and the transcription confirms that Richard Allen admits that he committed the murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German,” prosecutors alleged. “He admits several times within the phone call that he committed the offenses as charged.”
Prosecutors previously said in court that Allen “confessed five or six times.” His defense attorney, Bradley Rozzi, acknowledged that Allen had made “incriminating statements” but said those comments couldn’t be trusted due to his client’s deteriorating mental health.
Allen appeared in court wearing a yellow prison jumpsuit and looking gaunt. His defense attorneys argued that he has made “inconsistent” statements since he was arrested and said they were brought on by the stress of his arrest and imprisonment. He added that Allen’s mental and physical health has been deteriorating since his arrest.
The latest court documents also say that best friends Abby Williams and Libby German died from a knife attack, even though the unspent bullet is being used to tie Allen to the murders. Allen’s defense team has filed a motion to suppress ballistics evidence from the trial, NewsNation <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/delphi-murders-richard-allen-court-bail-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. A previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unsealed-probable-cause-affidavit-explains-how-police-linked-richard-allen-to-2017-delphi-murders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unsealed probable cause affidavit</a> stated that police found an unspent round near the girls’ bodies. The bullet was said to come from Allen’s gun, but forensic firearms analysis has <a href="https://radleybalko.substack.com/p/devil-in-the-grooves-the-case-against" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come under fire</a> recently as unreliable. Allen’s defense attorneys have challenged the evidence, and a hearing on their motion has been pushed back.
A trial has been set for early next year.
The probable cause affidavit revealed that Allen admitted to being on the Indiana hiking trail where German and Williams were last seen alive and their bodies were found on February 14, 2017. Video surveillance from the Hoosier Harvestore, a machine repair company in Delphi, and an unspent bullet found at the scene, all point to Allen as the killer, police say in the affidavit.
Definitively proving an unspent bullet came from a particular gun is not as simple as the affidavit makes it seem, according to Stephen Gutowski, a certified firearms instructor and reporter who founded The Reload.
“The forensic techniques used by crime labs to match specific guns to specific bullets have come under heavy scrutiny in recent years,” Gutowski told The Daily Wire. “So, I think it’s important to examine claims like this with a healthy dose of skepticism. The idea you could match a mark on the rim of a casing to a specific gun’s extractor seems dubious to me.”
The affidavit also highlights the unreliability of witness testimony. Allen said he witnessed three juvenile females while walking the trail, and those three described a man they saw walking alone, believed to be Allen. One of the girls said the man she saw was wearing “like blue jeans a like really light blue jacket.” Another said the man wore a black hoodie, black jeans, and black boots. The third girl described the man as wearing a blue or black windbreaker jacket and baggy jeans.

Witnesses also described seeing a vehicle parked at an old Child Protective Services building near the trails. One witness said he saw a purple PT Cruiser or small SUV backed up to the building. Another witness described it as possibly being a “smart” car.
Allen owned two vehicles in 2017, a 2016 black Ford Focus and a 2006 gray Ford 500, according to the affidavit. Investigators saw a car resembling Allen’s Ford Focus traveling in front of the Hoosier Harvestore store. They also suggest the witness descriptions of the vehicle “are similar in nature to a 2016 Ford Focus.” A Ford Focus is described as a compact vehicle, but it is not small or distinct enough to be confused for a “smart” car. It is also not large or distinct enough to be confused with a PT Cruiser or an SUV.

Accused Delphi Killer Admitted To Murders In Jailhouse Phone Call With Family, Prosecutors Say

Indiana

Hundreds of teenagers shut down a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/23-shot-one-dead-as-chicago-suburb-juneteenth-celebration-turns-violent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago</a> street Monday night as they gathered in the middle of the road for hours, dancing on parked cars and alarming local residents. 
Around 9:00 p.m. a group of teens got off the Chicago L train in the Lakeview neighborhood, which is home to Wrigley Field, and shut down a main street for six hours, <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/6/27/23775864/lakeview-street-takeover-belmont-pride-parade-cta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Chicago Sun-Times. One resident told <a href="https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/hundreds-of-teens-takeover-lakeview-destroying-neighborhood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WGN</a> that she called 911 but was told “there was nothing they could do.”
“They were so overwhelmed at the moment that there were just way too many calls coming in,” the woman said. 
Police who initially arrived on the scene were vastly outnumbered by the teens. The group started with a few dozen teens but eventually grew to more than 300 as word spread through social media, the Sun-Times reported. 
Roddy Hashish, the owner of a restaurant right next to the train station where the teens got off, told WGN, “There was no celebration last night; it was just pure chaos.” 
“Right away we decided to close the store and the restaurant, and we stayed all night watching to make sure nobody broke in or nobody vandalized our business,” Hashish said. 
Chicago police officers eventually controlled the crowd and moved the teenagers out of the area, but not before the group dented hoods and broke the windshields of cars that were parked on the street. Police took two people into custody as they dispersed the crowd. A 15-year-old girl was charged with aggravated assault of a peace officer, a felony, and a misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, according to police spokeswoman Kellie Bartoli. A 50-year-old man was also charged with a misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, the Sun-Times reported. 
“It’s terrifying,” said Grace Rohen, telling WGN that she also heard gunshots during the teen takeover. “It has been very chaotic and as somebody who’s lived in Lakeview for the past three years, it’s very scary to see how things have changed over time.”
Alderman Bennett Lawson released a statement Tuesday, promising to meet with leaders to discuss how these “disruptive actions” can be prevented in the future.

“I will be meeting with the 19th district police, cta, and others to discuss what took place and identify ways we can prevent it from occurring moving forward as well as continue conversations with my colleagues on city council about how we can keep our youth from participating in these disruptive actions,” Lawson said.

‘Pure Chaos’: Chicago Neighborhood Terrified As Hundreds Of Rowdy Teens Shut Down Street For Hours

Chicago Neighborhood Terrified As Hundreds Of Rowdy Teens Shut Down Street For Hours

A Nebraska teenager who was in Arizona celebrating his high school graduation was found dead in a desert bonfire pile – a “malicious” death, according to authorities.
Parker League, 18, was found dead on June 12 in Bulldog Canyon, part of Arizona’s Tonto National Forest. He was found on the same day he was scheduled to return home, ABC15 <a href="https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/family-of-teen-found-in-bonfire-piles-speaks-with-abc15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to accept because he was the nicest kid in the world,&#8221; League’s brother, Hunter, told the outlet. &#8220;I got a call from my dad telling me to come home. I asked him &#8216;why&#8217; about three times and the third time he tried to explain it, he just started breaking down.”
Hunter told the outlet that League was two years younger but considered his brother his best friend. He said League had traveled to Tempe, Arizona, to visit friends.
&#8220;I knew he had a place to stay; I knew he got there. We texted &#8230; that&#8217;s about it,&#8221; Hunter told the outlet.
League flew to Arizona on June 9. His last text to his brother was on June 10.
The teen’s family told ABC15 that they were not immediately informed that League’s body had been found, so they filed a missing persons report with the Tempe Police Department on June 15, three days after League&#8217;s flight had landed without him on board.
Hunter also told the outlet that his brother may have been targeted for his expensive watch. The family said they found two unusual transactions from League’s bank account.
“We basically found out that someone was using his debit card to get food and tried to pay their electric bill with it,” Hunter told the outlet.
Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) told the outlet that law enforcement would increase patrols of the area where League’s body was found.
&#8220;I hate to hone in on this specific issue but, I mean, we&#8217;re dealing with homelessness. We&#8217;re dealing with just a remote area; we&#8217;re dealing with areas that can only be accessed by 4&#215;4 vehicles,&#8221; he said.
Enriquez <a href="https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/mcso-searching-for-suspect-after-teens-body-found-in-bonfire-pit/75-d6f53281-1788-4421-91b9-c456a417665f?fbclid=IwAR3emmnGk_pF_LzsbAbC6WjZCJ0d2TcuEd8-DTbzPr0c0CkrfMjbKXlK34k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> 12News that he couldn’t release additional details about the crime.

“The information we have available for release is he was found in the pile burning. So as far as the other details of whether he was placed there, whether that&#8217;s where he was, those are details we can&#8217;t get into,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Only certain people know details of that crime, so they can&#8217;t be released to protect the integrity of investigation.”
MCSO described League’s death as “malicious” in a statement to 12News.
No arrests have been made so far in the case.

High School Grad’s Body Found In Desert Bonfire, Death Described As ‘Malicious’

High School Grad's Body Found In Desert Bonfire, Death Described As 'Malicious'

The family of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a> teenager who died by suicide in March of 2022 is speaking out about the dangers of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/instagram-accused-of-connecting-vast-pedophile-network-in-new-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> “sextortion.” 
Jordan DeMay, 17, killed himself after a Nigerian man posing as a woman solicited nude photos from the teen and allegedly threatened to share them online if he didn’t receive $1,000. The suspect — 22-year-old Samuel Ogoshi of Lagos, Nigeria — was one of three suspects arrested earlier this month for allegedly hacking Instagram accounts to sexually extort victims like DeMay, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/michigan-family-sounds-alarm-sons-sextortion-suicide-arrests-3-nigerian-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
&#8220;My son was smart. He was a good student. He was a great athlete,&#8221; Jordan&#8217;s father, John DeMay, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/michigan-family-sounds-alarm-sons-sextortion-suicide-arrests-3-nigerian-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News. &#8220;Someone came to his bedroom at 3 in the morning and murdered him through Instagram when we were all sleeping at night, and we had zero chance to stop it.&#8221;
DeMay, a senior who played football at Marquette Senior High School in Michigan’s upper peninsula, began chatting with someone on Instagram who he thought was a woman. While the account was real, it was allegedly hacked by Ogoshi and used to extort young men and boys into sending nude photos of themselves. DeMay sent an explicit photo of himself to the account, and Ogoshi used the images as leverage to demand money, according to the FBI. 
&#8220;All you&#8217;ve to do is cooperate with me and I won&#8217;t expose you,&#8221; a message to DeMay said. 
&#8220;I can send this nudes [sic] to everyone and also send your nudes Until it goes viral,&#8221; Ogoshi reportedly wrote. &#8220;Just pay me rn [right now], and I won&#8217;t expose you.&#8221;
The extortioner requested $1,000, and DeMay sent him $300, but Ogoshi allegedly threatened to send the photo to DeMay’s family if he didn’t send him more money. DeMay then told Ogoshi he was going to kill himself. 
&#8220;Good. Do that fast. Or I&#8217;ll make you do it. I swear to God,&#8221; Ogoshi allegedly replied. 
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1686769858594000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29MU9w81PAp3j3uHg4Fp5m">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Ogoshi was charged by federal authorities with four counts, including attempted sexual exploitation of a minor resulting in death and conspiracy to sexually exploit minors by causing the minors to produce child pornographic images, NBC TV6 <a href="https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2023/05/03/3-nigerian-men-charged-sextortion-ring-jordan-demay-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Ogoshi faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a statutory mandatory minimum of 30 years in prison. 
“Sextortion is a horrible crime that can leave especially younger victims feeling ashamed with nowhere to turn,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “My heart goes out to the family of Jordan DeMay. Nothing can bring Jordan back, but my office is committed to securing justice and, alongside Jordan’s family, sending an urgent warning so others can protect themselves and their families. We will travel the world to hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable.”
DeMay’s father John said that he stopped monitoring Jordan’s social media use as much as he used to because the teen was almost an adult. 
&#8220;Jordan is such a rare case. I mean, he was a few weeks away from being 18 years old,” John said. “We didn&#8217;t, I didn&#8217;t monitor social media anymore.&#8221;
John added if he had the chance, he would tell Jordan “every single day” that sexual extortion isn’t the end of life. 
&#8220;[Kids] have to just understand that this isn&#8217;t the end of whatever they think is their life, because it&#8217;s not,&#8221; John said.

Sheriff’s deputies in San Clemente, California, arrested nine teenagers over the brutal assault of three U.S. Marines last Saturday.
San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/orange-county-deputies-arrest-teenagers-accused-of-brutally-beating-marines-in-san-clemente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s Department had charged the teenagers, five of whom were accused of assault with a deadly weapon and the other four with misdemeanor assault and battery.
“They think they have the people they are looking for,” Duncan stated. “Not to say that there might not be a few others out there. They feel pretty confident that they have the main perpetrators. &#8230; They had some videotape that wasn&#8217;t readily available to the public that had a lot better images of the individuals involved.”
“In today’s age, you’re going to get caught — people are going to record it,” Duncan <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12142543/Nine-teens-arrested-brutal-assault-three-Marines-told-stop-lighting-fireworks.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a>. “I hope this serves as a learning lesson for young folks in the community not to let themselves get out of control when something like this happens.”
As many as 40 young people were involved when the three U.S. Marines near a California beach Saturday night were attacked in a horrific moment caught on <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12138283/Marines-savagely-beaten-40-TEENS-confronting-unruly.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-viral video</a>.
The Marines were enjoying time off from their service at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside at approximately 10 p.m. along the beach in San Clemente. One of the Marines, Hunter Antonino, said a piece of debris hit him in the face, prompting him to ask the group to stop lighting fireworks.
“They were lighting off fireworks, they were being belligerent and obnoxious and annoying other people, so I went up to them and told them to stop,” he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/wild-video-shows-group-of-teenagers-attacking-pair-of-marines-in-san-clemente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recalled</a>. Antonio said the group then followed the Marines as they returned to the pier, whereupon Antonio and another Marine informed the group that they were Marines so the group would leave them alone.
Instead, the group savagely attacked the Marines. One individual punched a Marine in the back, prompting the Marine to turn and charge at him, sparking the melee. Video shows two of the Marines lying in the fetal position on the ground as the group kicked them and hurled racial epithets at them. The Marines were kicked in the head and upper body.
Although the Marines were injured, they refused to go to a hospital, according to Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies. Antonio thought he may have suffered a concussion.
 “This is San Clemente, Marines are always welcome here, always going to be celebrated, always taken care of, and that is why this is so particularly tragic,” Duncan said.

Although the Marines were injured, they refused to go to a hospital, according to Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies. Antonio thought he may have suffered a concussion.
“This is considered an assault with a deadly weapon because of the amount of suspects we are investigating,” Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s Department Sgt. Frank Gonzalez <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/wild-video-shows-group-of-teenagers-attacking-pair-of-marines-in-san-clemente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “The weapons that were used were their feet while these victims were on the ground. So, regardless if the victims choose prosecution or choose medical attention the sheriff&#8217;s department is going to investigate this to the fullest and try to determine who the suspects are.”
Two cameras on the side of a nearby restaurant may have captured more fully the series of events. According to San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan, the city’s IT staff was working to get the images from the cameras to sheriff’s department investigators.
“This is San Clemente, Marines are always welcome here, always going to be celebrated, always taken care of, and that is why this is so particularly tragic,” Duncan said.

Violence

An 18-year-old male student at a Wisconsin high school who identifies as female entered the girls’ locker room and began showering naked with four 14-year-old girls, a conservative legal organization said Wednesday.
In <a href="https://will-law.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/2023-04-19-Letter-to-SPASD-Board-re-EHS-Locker-Room-Incident-w.-attachme.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a letter</a> sent Wednesday to the school district, the Wisconsin Institute for Law &amp; Liberty, Inc. (WILL) said that on March 3 four freshman girls at Sun Prairie East High School (EHS) were showering and changing after a physical education class. When they entered the lockers, they found a senior male student, believed to be 18 years old at the time, in the room that contained the lockers and benches. The girls said the student wasn’t in the class with them, but proceeded to the shower area even though they were uncomfortable. They were aware that the student identified as transgender and had used girls’ bathrooms previously, according to the letter.
The girls showered with their bathing suits on, which was common practice. Just when they started to shower, WILL said, the transgender student fully undressed and entered the shower next to one of the girls. The student was initially facing the wall but then turned toward the four girls, exposing his male genitalia to all four freshmen.
“Understandably, the girls were caught off guard and shocked, closed their eyes, and tried to hurry up and leave the showers as quickly as possible,” WILL&#8217;s letter stated.
The girls didn’t know what to do and didn’t immediately report the incident, but after one girl told another student what happened, that student said they should report it, according to the letter. Three days after the incident in the shower, the uninvolved student reported it to student services. The incident should have been reported under Title IX, an anti-sex discrimination law that protects students against sexual harassment and assault. But Associate Principal Heidi Walter didn’t report the incident to the Title IX coordinator, and instead asked for the names of the students involved, according to the letter.
On March 10, the student who reported the incident had gained permission to provide the students’ names and was ready to do so, but Walter said that the girls could approach her if they wanted. She later admitted, according to WILL, that she should have “dug deeper” into the issue.
The four girls should have been provided supportive measures under Title IX, but instead, the school focused on the transgender student, WILL said. EHS’ principal did, however, apologize to a parent in an email by saying the incident “should not have happened” and vowing to “continue to work to ensure no one has a similar experience,” though she didn’t outline any steps the school would take.
WILL said that the Sun Prairie Area School District dismissed the rights and concerns of the freshmen girls while assuring parents that the issue had been resolved. The district also pointed to its &#8220;Restroom and Locker Room Accessibility Guidance,” which may not have even been in effect. The guidance, according to WILL, suggests that if a transgender student “makes any request regarding the use of locker rooms,” the school will evaluate the request. The policy says nothing about students who don’t make requests, if permission is required, or who makes the determination on the student&#8217;s request.

The school district’s policy says that a “student who is transgender, nonbinary, or gender expansive will be permitted to access the men’s/women’s segregated restrooms in accordance with the student’s gender identity that the student regularly asserts at school and in other social environments.”
It further states that any “Student who has a need or desire for increased privacy, regardless of the underlying reason, may be provided with access to a single-access restroom where such a facility is reasonably available, but no student shall be required to use such a restroom because of the student’s transgender, nonbinary, or gender expansive status.”
The school district has also released a statement saying it stands by “LGBTQIA+ students and staff,” taking “seriously our responsibility to provide safe, nondiscriminatory, and inclusive environments for people of all orientations and identities as they reflect our diverse community around us.”
The statement also says that “all children will be safe and loved in our schools,” which WILL argued has not been upheld in this case.
“Here, four freshman girls taking a shower in their swimsuits in what is supposed to be a private and safe space, were exposed to the male genitals of a senior student against their will,” WILL&#8217;s letter stated. “Considering student development, high school being a relatively new environment for freshman girls, the power dynamics between not only a biological male and female but between a senior and a freshman, and student safety, the age difference of the students here is relevant.”
WILL is seeking answers to why the school district didn’t follow proper Title IX procedure and has filed an open records request seeking the school’s restroom and locker room guidance that was in effect at the time of the incident.

Two Iowa teenagers have pleaded guilty after they were accused of killing their Spanish teacher after she gave one of them a bad grade.
Willard Miller, 17, and Jeremy Goodale, 18, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to the first-degree murder of Fairfield High School teacher Nohema Graber, 66, back in November 2021, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/04/19/iowa-teens-accused-of-killing-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-plead-guilty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. At the time of the murder, both teens were 16.
Goodale reportedly testified that Miller had initiated the plan to kill Graber and they both attacked her with a baseball bat.
“On Nov. 2 of 2021, I met Willard Miller at Chautauqua Park, and I understood that he had intent to kill Mrs. Graber,” Goodale said when pleading guilty.
He added that Miller “brought a bat among other supplies to go through with the murder.”
“After he had struck Nohema Graber, he then moved her off of the trail where I then struck her and she died as a result,” Goodale added, according to the Post. “Afterwards, we removed any evidence that we could.”
Prosecutors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teenagers-allegedly-killed-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-prosecutors-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged</a> that Miller and Goodale followed Graber to a park where she was known to take daily walks after school and killed her, the Post previously <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/02/iowa-students-willard-miller-jeremy-goodale-killed-teacher-nohema-graber-over-bad-grade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Earlier that same day, Miller had met with Graber to discuss the low grade she had given him, court documents reviewed by the Post show.

“The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder of Graber which directly connects Miller,” said the court documents, which were filed by Jefferson County Attorney Chauncey Moulding and Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown.
The next day, Graber’s body was found hidden under a tarp, wheelbarrow, and railroad ties in the park where she had been walking.
Witnesses reportedly told police they saw two males driving Graber’s van away from the park less than an hour after she had arrived for her daily walk. The vehicle was later found abandoned on a rural road. A witness said they picked Miller and Goodale up from that same road, according to court documents.
Miller allegedly told police he was angry about the low grade Graber had given him, which was dragging down his grade point average. The teenager denied killing Graber but “later stated he had knowledge of everything but did not participate,” claiming a “roving group of masked kids” killed his teacher and forced him to hide the body, court documents said.
Meanwhile, Goodale was allegedly bragging about the murder over Snapchat. Police were given photos of a Snapchat conversation where Goodale allegedly indicated he and Miller were involved in Graber’s murder.
Christine Branstad, an attorney for Miller, reportedly claimed in the documents that the search warrants were issued illegally, claiming “law enforcement failed to provide information to the issuing magistrate to show the informant is reliable or that the information from the informant should be considered reliable.”
The teens were scheduled to be tried this year as adults, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nohema-graber-murder-willard-miller-jeremy-goodale-killed-spanish-teacher-over-bad-grade-iowa-prosecutor-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The teens faced life in prison if they had been convicted.
Graber’s family released a statement after her death describing their loss.
“To know Nohema was to love her — she was the kind of person every community longs to have in its midst and we were blessed to have her in our lives,” the family said, according to CBS. “She lived for her children, her family and her faith. Her next priorities were her job as an educator and the children she taught, her local Parish, and the Spanish-speaking community in Fairfield.”
