  • Andrew Tate To Remain Detained In Romania After Court Rejects Appeal To End Detention And Asset Seizure

    Andrew Tate To Remain Detained In Romania After Court Rejects Appeal To End Detention And Asset Seizure

    On December 29th, social media personality and misogynist Andrew Tate was arrested for organized crime, human trafficking, and aggravated sexual assault. The 36-year-old is notorious for his controversial commentary, including telling his viewers that “women belong in the home, can’t drive, and are a man’s property” and that victims of rape should “bear responsibility” for their attacks, as reported by The Guardian. At the time of his arrest, the former professional kickboxer had been attempting to antagonize teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg on both Twitter and Instagram.

    On Tuesday, a court in Bucharest, Romania rejected an appeal against a judge’s decision to extend his arrest from the initial 24 hours to 30 days. According to NBC, the court stated that “the possibility of them evading investigations cannot be ignored” and that the accused could “leave Romania and settle in countries that do not allow extradition.”

    A spokesperson for DIICOT, The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, announced that six victims have been identified in the trafficking case. They are believed to have been subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion.” The agency has stated that the female victims were lured by the pretenses of a romantic relationship and were later intimidated, held hostage, kept under 24-hour surveillance, and forced to perform sexual acts on camera.

    Prosecutors have seized 15 vehicles and over 10 properties owned by Tate and his brothers since their arrests. If proven that the money used to pay for the assets were from human trafficking, they “will be taken by the state and cover the expenses of the investigation and damages to the victims.”

  • Motel Room Where Underaged Girl Was Found With Older Man Had Been Paid For By Parent

    Motel Room Where Underaged Girl Was Found With Older Man Had Been Paid For By Parent

    On Monday, January 9th, deputies were sent to search an Alabama motel after the Walker County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a “a concerned family member.” According to The Telegraph, the unidentified caller claimed that an underaged relative was at the motel to meet with an older man.

    “During the investigation, two underage females were discovered to be in separate rooms, each one with an adult male,” the sheriff’s office reported. “It was determined that a parent of one of the underage females drove the girl to the motel, rented the room, then left the child unattended at some point.”

    After learning the identities of the two men in the motel, it was discovered that they were wanted for unrelated charges. The two men, whose names have yet to be released, were then arrested and taken to the Jasper Police Department in Walker County. The parent who dropped off one of the teenaged girls and paid for the motel room was also arrested. They have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

    “This is a very heartbreaking situation, and thinking about this entire situation will make anyone physically sick- especially another parent,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “The amount of trauma and mental anguish that these girls have, and will endure in the future, is troubling to say the least.”

  • Police Footage Shows Intoxicated Man Doing A Backflip To Prove Sobriety

    Police Footage Shows Intoxicated Man Doing A Backflip To Prove Sobriety

    On November 23rd, a white Ram 1500 was pulled over by police in Broadview Heights, Ohio. When the driver, Tanner Watson, was asked to step out of the vehicle for a field sobriety test, officers say he smelled strongly of alcohol and had extremely glossy eyes. According to Cleveland 19 News, the suspect initially told police that he had 2 or 3 drinks, but the numbers increased when asked again later.

    In footage recently released by the Broadview Heights Police Department, Watson attempted to prove that he wasn’t intoxicated by performing a back flip. Though the gymnastics move entertained the officers, it did not constitute as a test used for drunk drivers.

    When instructed to look at the tip of an officer’s finger, Watson grew frustrated and said, “You went back and forth too many times. I’m getting a little dizzy over here.” He then became uncooperative and belligerent when told to walk a straight line, and was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated (known as an OVI in the state of Ohio).

    Gunmen Kidnap 32 People While Waiting At Train Station In Southern Nigeria


    On January 8th, at around 4 P.M., a group of people were waiting to board a train at Tom Ikimi Station, in southern Nigeria, when they were suddenly attacked by a group of men armed with AK-47s. After many were shot at, the kidnappers left with 32 people, Reuters reported.

    The Edo state information commissioner, Chris Osa Nehikhare, says that one of the abductees was able to escape.

    “At the moment, security personnel made up of the military and the police, as well as men of the vigilante network, are intensifying search and rescue operations in a reasonable radius to rescue the kidnap victims,” he said. “We are confident that the other victims will be rescued in the coming hours.”

    The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has closed the station until further notice. Last month, the NRC reopened a railway service in between two other stations after suspected bandits blew up tracks. Seven passengers were killed. Investigators have yet to determine if the two incidents are related.

    Virginia Man Arrested For Killing 3-Year-Old After Shooting Teenage Girlfriend And Her Four Siblings

    On January 4th, just before 11 A.M., police were called to a home in Dumfries, Virginia after a shooting was reported. According to NBC 4 Washington, officers met with a 17-year-old gunshot victim when they arrived, who claims she was in a relationship with the attacker. The teen told them that she and the suspect were in the middle of a heated argument when he began shooting.

    Inside the house, were four more victims, all siblings to the 17-year-old girl. Sadly, a three-year-old girl among the victims was pronounced dead at the scene. The four remaining victims, between the ages of 14 and 17, were all transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Though they’re expected to recover from their injuries, their return to health will require a lot of time. Another teen, a 14-year-old boy, was in the home during the shooting, but was left uninjured.

    The suspect, Kenyatta Lee Oglesby, was found at a business nearby. When asked about the shooting, the 20-year-old was reportedly combative and uncooperative. Oglesby has since then been charged with murder, aggravated malicious wounding, and using a firearm in commission of a felony. He is being held without bond.

    According to a fundraiser created to help with the funeral expenses and other necessities, the victims were already grieving the loss of their mother when the incident occurred, who had passed away just a few months ago. “Their lives were uprooted and changed drastically overnight,” the GoFundMe reads. “Little did we know that only three months later another tragedy would occur and this time directly involve her beautiful children.”

  • Father Legally Changes His Gender To Female To Gain Custody Of His Young Daughters, Says The Justice System Benefits Mothers In Custody Cases

    Father Legally Changes His Gender To Female To Gain Custody Of His Young Daughters, Says The Justice System Benefits Mothers In Custody Cases

    Reports have been circulating of a father legally modifying his gender to try and get custody of his two daughters after an unfriendly split from his wife. The 47-year-old father, René Salinas Ramos, is now registered as a female on legal documents in Ecuador, although he truly identifies as a cisgender male. 

    The father decided to legally alter his gender because the justice system in his country favors mothers when it comes to custody cases. The father told a local news outlet,

    “Being a father in this country, Ecuador, is punished and I’m only seen as a provider. What I have been looking for is to give the love and protection that a mother can give her children.”

    The father went on to say that his two young daughters reside in an abusive setting with their mother and admitted that he hasn’t seen his children in over five months. 

     “The laws say that the one who has the right is the woman. As of this moment, I am female. Now I’m also a mom, that’s how I consider myself….I am very sure of my sexuality. What I have sought is that I want to be a mother, so that I can also give the love and protection of a mother.”

    Despite his pure intentions, activists throughout the country who battled hard to have the rule changed for genuine trans residents have grown angry with the father’s actions. The Ecuadorian Federation of LGBTI Organizations condemned Ramos’ pursuits. Diane Rodríguez, national director of the Ecuadorian Federation of LGBTI Organizations, told Vice World News,

    “This man’s private matter, to obtain custody of his daughters, isn’t the spirit of the law.”

    Rodríguez continued,

    “we are afraid that in the Assembly things will go backwards and they will start legislating against us.”

    However, the legal battle between Ramos and the mother of children continues. 

    “Until this matter is resolved, [the children] have to stay with their mother. The law is taking away our right to be parents. [Changing my official documents] is a proof of love,”

    Ramos said, reports Jams Press.

    “deeply disturbing.”

  • American Airlines Allegedly Punished Employees For Reporting Toxin Fumes On Planes That Led To Sickness 

    American Airlines Allegedly Punished Employees For Reporting Toxin Fumes On Planes That Led To Sickness 

    Investigators at  the Occupational Safety and Health Administration learned the American Airlines punished flight attendants who reported that they became sick due to the toxic fumes, reports Newsweek. The airline also dissuaded their employees from reporting work-related sickness. 

    The government body has called for the airline to pay $6,837 in liabilities for violating the 1970 Occupational Safety and Health Act. The first investigation began on Aug. 2 when fears were brought to the surface by whistle-blowers. A spokesperson from the Department of Labor told the news outlet,

    “all flight attendants/crews were subject to these policies, which led to several complaints of retaliation being filed with OSHA.” 

    Flight attendants claimed American Airlines docked

    “attendance points for complaining about their illnesses and discouraged them from making workplace injury and illness reports,”

    according to Newsweek. OSHA Area Director in Fort Worth, Texas, Timothy Minor said,

    “Our investigation found that the flight attendants engaged in protected activities when they reported illnesses related to jet fuel fumes seeping into the aircraft cabin.” 

    Minor revealed that on three different occasions in July and August 2022, employees were penalized by being “charged one or two attendance points” for reporting a sickness “that resulted from a workplace fume event.”

    Minor demanded the airline to provide proof of

    “appropriate corrective action,”

    which can include air sampling tests. The air carrier has 15 days to comply with the demands of the OSHA, propose a meeting with Minor, or

    “contest the findings.”

    A spokesperson from the Department of Labor revealed that OSHA settled multiple complaints in regards to the reporting of work-related sickness with the company,

    “with American Airlines agreeing to fix the problem so that future retaliation for reporting work-related injuries/illnesses did not take place.”

    An American Airline spokesperson told the news outlet,

    “The safety of our team members and customers is always American’s top priority. We are reviewing the findings of the OSHA investigation.”
