A North Yorkshire man with a decades-long history of s3x offences has been jailed after being caught printing p0rn0graphy at Boots in United Kingdom.
It was a staff member at the Guisborough Boots who found the 71-year-old printing the p0rn0graphic images of young men and alerted police. A s3xual harm prevention order bans Robin Jackson from accessing p0rn0graphic material. It follows previous convictions for exposure, indecent images and s3xual assault, Teesside Live reports.
The pensioner has been jailed for eight months for breaching the order that is meant to restrict his behaviour and protect the public.
Prosecutor Reece Williams told the court: “The defendant on August 26, 2025, had entered Boots in Guisborough to print off p0rn0graphic images of young men. On the same day, police were notified by a member of staff from Boots.”
When police attended his home the accused handed over the images that showed young men. The court heard that those pictured were of legal age.
Jackson’s mobile phone was also analysed. On the device police reportedly found that he had accessed several p0rn0graphic websites. Michele Turner, mitigating for the defendant, said the accused fully cooperated with the officers who attended his home.
“He immediately handed over all items and allowed for his mobile phone to be examined immediately,” she said. Jackson appeared for sentencing at the Teesside Crown Court via video link from prison on September 24.
He had pleaded guilty at a lower court and been behind bars for four weeks. The court heard that he has more than 70 previous offences on his record. The allegations span from as far back as the 1970s.
Teesside Live previously reported that Jackson had breached s3xual offence prevention orders that had been in place for more than a decade. During the coronavirus lockdown he turned himself in to his supervising officer and admitted to visiting p0rn0 sites.
At the time in 2020, the court heard Jackson had asked for videos of males performing s3x acts and offered to pay money for the material.
In that instance Judge Howard Crowson told the court: “You have a long history of s3xual offending and you clearly pose a significant risk to young males.”
Authorities in Argentina are investigating a gruesome crime that has shocked the nation after three young women were kidnapped, tortured, r@ped, and executed on a TikTok livestream by members of a narco gang.
Police confirmed that the sadistic broadcast was watched by dozens of people before the gang carried out the killings.
The victims were identified as 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez, 20-year-old Brenda del Castillo, and 21-year-old Morena Verdi. Local media reported that two of the women had been accused by the gang of stealing four kilograms of cocaine, leading investigators to describe the murders as an act of “narco revenge.”
Chilling details emerged as authorities recovered the bodies. Gutierrez reportedly had all five fingers on her left hand amputated before she was killed. Del Castillo suffered a fractured skull and had her stomach cut open, while Verdi was asphyxiated with a plastic bag, which was still over her head when her body was found.
Buenos Aires security minister Javier Alonso said the three victims were last seen getting into a vehicle, lured by what they thought was an invitation to an event. Instead, they had fallen into a trap set by an international drug trafficking gang.
“The bodies were found buried in a garden,” Alonso confirmed. “The drug trafficking organisation has its operational command in Buenos Aires, and they had chosen this house to carry out the murders.”
The families of the victims have been informed, while authorities continue to search for the gang leader, a Peruvian national accused of ordering the killings and believed to have fled Argentina.
So far, four suspects have been arrested in connection with the case. The investigation remains ongoing as police work to dismantle the gang and bring all those involved in the killings to justice.
Lance Twiggs, the 22-year-old transgender boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was reportedly kicked out of his family home during high school due to a severe clash over his Mormon faith.
Twiggs was forced to leave after drifting away from his Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) beliefs. He found shelter with two brothers from a large, blended family in St. George, Utah, according to the brothers' sister, Braylon Nielsen.
Twiggs stayed with the family on and off, beginning in his junior year in 2021. Nielsen, 19, recalls the high schooler struggling to find a stable place to stay.
“It was on and off. He was bouncing couches. He would live with us for a few months, but didn’t like taking up our couch. He would crash with friends,” she explained.
Nielsen said she loved Twiggs and that his parents "never sat right with my family," describing them as "overbearing religious zealots." She dismissed claims from Twiggs' family members that he had "dabbled in drugs and alcohol" as "spiteful gossip."
"Lance, that I know of, has never done drugs. He was always like, 'I don’t want to go out and party.' He just wasn’t a big partier,” she insisted.
Friends and former school staff offered a positive portrait of Twiggs. Nielsen praised him as a “hardworking” and “straight A” student at UT Success Academy, an accelerated program for gifted students. She emphasized his commitment to inclusion:
“He just took care of people. My sister’s car broke down once, and he came out to help her,” she recalled.
Ben Kaufman, Executive Director of UT Success Academy, who did not overlap with Twiggs but has heard recent reports, stated, “Everything I’ve heard about him, he was a great kid. He was nice. He worked hard.”
Despite their closeness, Nielsen admitted that she “had no clue Lance was trans.” She was quick, however, to defend him vehemently against any suggestion of involvement in the assassination plot against Charlie Kirk.
“I think that’s all Tyler. The Lance that I knew would never do something like that. I could never see Lance doing that,” she insisted.
Nielsen’s mother, Jackie, echoed this belief, calling Twiggs “a good kid... He’s compassionate. He minds his own business.” She urged the public to reserve judgment, stating, “I hope the world lightens up on him and stops being so hateful until they have all the facts. He doesn’t deserve this.”
Twiggs recently abandoned the townhouse in St. George he shared with Robinson, who was also reportedly raised as a devout Mormon. Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby previously confirmed that Twiggs was moved to a “safe space very far away from St. George,” where he needs “to lay low for a long time.”
Twiggs has not been charged with a crime in connection with Kirk’s assassination and is reportedly cooperating with authorities.
An American Airlines passenger, Ketty J. Dilone, was restrained and ultimately duct-taped to her seat after allegedly attacking a flight attendant and launching into a profanity-fueled mid-air tirade, during which she bizarrely claimed she once tried to poison her own father.
The incident occurred on a Las Vegas-bound flight on September 16, a connecting leg from Charlotte, NC, following Dilone's return trip from the Dominican Republic, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Nevada.
Authorities allege Dilone walked and yelled throughout the cabin, verbally threatening multiple flight attendants. Due to her escalating behavior, flight staff were forced to use zip ties and duct tape to restrain her in her seat. Even after being restrained, Dilone allegedly kicked a flight attendant, causing the crew member to fall.
A viral video posted to TikTok captured Dilone’s foul-mouthed outburst. She is heard screaming that the restraints were hurting her and shouting profanities at a flight attendant, including: “You don’t know what the f–k I’ve been through, bitch! Kill yourself, bitch! You wanna die, bitch?”
Dilone then made a bizarre and chilling admission, claiming she put "roach poison" in her father’s coffee when she was 11, with the intention to kill him.
“It didn’t work,” she said calmly. “And in DR (Dominican Republic), we call it ‘Tres Pasito.’”
Tres Pasitos—Spanish for “three little steps”—is a potent pesticide, illegal in the U.S., used to kill cockroaches and mice.
After briefly singing the chorus to a Spanish song of the same name, she began flying off the handle again. "So if anybody wants to kill somebody, put roach poison! But make sure it’s not expired, and make sure you put a lot of it!” she shouted, claiming that her attempt on her father only "put him to sleep."
The video ended shortly after Dilone started screaming that “the show’s f–king over” and rambling incoherently.
The FBI arrested Dilone after the flight landed at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport, and she was transported to the Henderson Detention Center.She has been charged with one count of interference with a flight crew and one count of assault by striking, beating, or wounding.
Dilone made her first court appearance on September 18. A preliminary hearing is set for October 1, and if found guilty, she faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
A shocking video shows a huge mob of masked thieves storming a California jewelry store and making off with around $1 million in merchandise.
The mob of up to 30 crooks was caught on surveillance footage as they ran up to the store in broad daylight Monday, September 22, in San Ramon, around 34 miles east of San Francisco.
They used crowbars and pickaxes to smash the display cases and snatch jewelry after which they rushed out when a security door automatically tried to lock them inside.
“When they went in, they basically took over the store. Basically taking whatever jewelry was available,” Lt. Mike Pistello from the San Ramon PD told ABC 7 News.
“What ended up happening was, once the suspects went in, the door locked behind them,” Pistello said of a security upgrade since a previous robbery in 2023.
The raid was likely planned days in advance, police said, as the suspects arrived in six separate vehicles and parked in the valet area 100 feet from the store entrance.
Cops said at least 20 people were involved, whereas witnesses told ABC 7 they counted 30.
Cops were able to get footage of the suspects fleeing using a drone funded by a 2023 organized retail theft grant.
“It shows all the suspects’ vehicles, as well as all the suspects leaving and entering their cars to leave,” Pistello said.
Police have since arrested seven suspects, including one juvenile, in two separate raids in Oakland and nearby Dublin, California.
The suspects, all from Oakland, range in age from 17 to 31 and are suspected of involvement in similar crimes across the Bay Area, police have said.
Two firearms and some of the stolen jewelry believed to have been dropped or discarded during the escape has been recovered, while several of the vehicles using in the robbery were reported stolen, according to police
“This is not their first time doing something like this,” Pistello said. “This is not something that happens a lot in San Ramon. We’re doing our best to follow up on every lead possible.”
A UK-based Ghanaian pastor, Apostle Isaac Anderson, was left stunned two days ago after his iPhone 16 Pro Max was snatched from his hand on the streets of London while he was on embarking on a morning walk and leading prayers on Facebook Live.
In a video that has since gone viral, Apostle Anderson was walking on the streets and engaging his followers when l a masked man riding on a bicycle accosted him and snatched the phone from him.
A sudden blackout followed, signaling the abrupt end of the livestream.
In a video he later shared online, the cleric announced to his followers that his phone had been stolen.
"This morning, I was walking and doing a live session to declare blessings upon people's lives. Suddenly, someone on a bike came from behind and snatched my phone, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, right out of my hand" he said
Michael Jackson’s sexual assault accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, are seeking a staggering $400 million in damages from the late King of Pop’s estate over the alleged abuse.
The nine-figure demand was revealed in court documents filed on September 15. The filings were part of a legal dispute involving Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, who has opposed the estate covering all of the mounting legal fees related to the case.
According to the documents obtained by Us Weekly, Jackson’s executors—John Branca and John McClain argued that not paying the legal fees would have “profoundly destabilizing consequences for the estate.”
The executors stated that if the estate cannot pay the fees, they would likely be unable to continue defending against Robson’s and Safechuck’s lawsuits.
“The Estate would likely have to default... where numerous depositions, discovery matters, and other matters are scheduled to take place over the next several months, and where [Robson and Safechuck] are seeking $400 million,” the documents read. The filings emphasized that it “would be disastrous for the Estate to default in this case.”
The specific amount Robson and Safechuck were seeking from Jackson’s companies, MJJ Productions Inc. and MJJ Ventures Inc., was previously undisclosed until these court filings.
Robson, 43, first filed his lawsuit in 2013, alleging he was molested and raped by the music icon between the ages of 7 and 14. Safechuck, 47, sued the following year, claiming Jackson groomed him for sex after they appeared together in a Pepsi advertisement when Safechuck was 10.
Both men detailed their sexual abuse allegations in the 2019 HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland. Michael Jackson’s estate has repeatedly denied all sexual assault allegations. A spokesperson for the estate reiterated, “The lawsuit has no merit and Michael is innocent.”
The estate previously sued HBO for violating a non-disparagement clause by airing the documentary. That case was eventually settled in 2024, and HBO agreed to permanently remove the film from its platform.
US President, Donald Trump has called for arrests after an escalator at the United Nations headquarters abruptly stopped working on Tuesday as he and First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it.
The sudden escalator outage, which nearly caused the First Lady to fall, was the first of at least three disruptions the 79-year-old president claimed to have noticed during his visit to address world leaders and diplomats at the UN General Assembly in New York.
“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” Trump wrote on Truth Social .
“First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster,” the president continued. Video footage showed Melania Trump visibly jerking forward when the machine stopped.
Trump alleged the escalator incident was “absolutely sabotage,” citing a Times of London report that UN staffers had been overheard joking about switching off the escalator to force him to walk.
“The people that did it should be arrested!” the president fumed, demanding an “immediate investigation” and the preservation of “all security tapes at the escalator, especially the emergency stop button.” He added that the Secret Service is involved.
A UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, suggested that a member of the US delegation may have inadvertently triggered the stop.
Dujarric stated that a videographer from the US delegation stepped onto the escalator ahead of the President and First Lady "in an effort to document their arrival." As the videographer, who was traveling backward, reached the top, the escalator stopped.
“A subsequent investigation... indicated that the escalator had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator,” Dujarric explained. "The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function described above.”
Trump claimed the mechanical failure was compounded by two other “sinister events.” His teleprompter stopped working as he delivered his address, and he alleged that no one in the auditorium without an earpiece could hear his remarks.
“It was stone cold dark,” Trump said of the teleprompter. “I immediately thought to myself, ‘Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?’” He noted the teleprompter "kicked in about 15 minutes later.”
The president said he learned of the audio issue at the end of his speech when he asked Melania, “How did I do?”
“And she said, ‘I couldn’t hear a word you said,’” the president recounted.
Concluding his statement, Trump declared, “This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.”
A New York teacher who sexually abused a 16-year-old student at a special needs school has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, authorities announced.
Sandy Carazas-Pinez, 36, received the quarter-century sentence plus five years of supervised release on Friday from U.S. District Judge John P. Cronan. She was convicted of enticing a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton.
Prosecutors stated that between November 2022 and February 2023, Carazas-Pinez, a former New York City public school teacher, led her 16-year-old student to believe they were in a romantic relationship. The abuse occurred while she worked at a city-funded Yonkers school for children with special needs.
Carazas-Pinez, a married mother of three from Bethel, Connecticut, used her cellphone to coordinate the abuse. She texted, called, and video chatted with the teen to arrange in-person sexual encounters. Authorities noted she also forced the student to livestream "sexually explicit conduct" during video calls, which she described to him as "gifts."
She directed the teen to obtain day passes from his school to leave campus and meet her. They would then drive and park in locations across the Bronx, Yonkers, and Staten Island for sexual activity.
In discussions about ending the relationship, Carazas-Pinez allegedly texted the boy, "I know for me it isn’t going to be easy, I will miss your kisses, hugs and everything." She also sent him sexually suggestive content and repeatedly instructed him to delete the communications.
U.S. Attorney Clayton condemned her actions in a statement: “Sexual exploitation by teachers offends every New Yorker. Sandy Carazas-Pinez betrayed her role and, through explicit texts and other means, coerced a 16-year-old into a sexual relationship. Actions of this type by anyone, particularly a teacher or other person of trust, will not be tolerated.”
Carazas-Pinez was terminated from the Biondi School, run by the nonprofit Rising Ground, in March 2023.
Judge Cronan had previously remanded Carazas-Pinez into custody after she violated her bail conditions. She was forbidden from having unsupervised contact with minors but emailed another former student just one day after he turned 18 to wish him a happy birthday—behavior her own lawyer called "troubling" at the time.
Chinese journalist Zhang Zhan, who was previously jailed for documenting the early days of the Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan, has been sentenced to an additional four years in prison, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
Zhang, 42, was convicted on Friday, September 19, under the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” the same accusation that led to her December 2020 imprisonment after she published first-hand accounts of the coronavirus outbreak from Wuhan. RSF confirmed the sentencing.
China’s foreign ministry has not yet commented on the case, and Reuters reported it was unclear whether Zhang currently has legal representation.
RSF condemned the ruling, calling Zhang a symbol of press freedom. “She should be celebrated globally as an 'information hero', not trapped in brutal prison conditions,” said RSF Asia-Pacific advocacy manager Aleksandra Bielakowska. “Her ordeal and persecution must end. It is more urgent than ever for the international diplomatic community to pressure Beijing for her immediate release.”
Zhang’s initial reports included videos from overwhelmed hospitals and empty streets in Wuhan that contradicted the official narrative about the scale of the outbreak. She was arrested after months of posting online, and her then-lawyer, Ren Quanniu, said she believed she was “being persecuted for exercising her freedom of speech.”
Following her arrest, Zhang launched a hunger strike, leading police to restrain her hands and force-feed her through a tube, her lawyers said at the time. She was sentenced to four years in prison in 2020 but released in May 2024, only to be detained again three months later. She was eventually held at Shanghai’s Pudong Detention Centre before Friday’s new sentencing, RSF said.
Ren wrote on X that the new charges were linked to comments Zhang posted on overseas websites. “She should not be deemed guilty,” he added.
International press freedom groups have condemned China’s actions. “This is the second time Zhang Zhan has faced trial on baseless charges that amount to nothing more than a blatant act of persecution for her journalism work,” said Beh Lih Yi, Asia-Pacific director of the Committee to Protect Journalists. “Chinese authorities must put an end to the arbitrary detention of Zhang, drop all charges and free her immediately.”
China has been widely criticised for its treatment of journalists. RSF said the country currently holds at least 124 media workers in detention, making it the world’s largest jailer of journalists. It ranks 178th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2025 World Press Freedom Index.
The ruling also comes a week after China’s top legislators passed a new bill to accelerate public health emergency responses, allowing citizens to directly report emergencies and bypass traditional government channels.
