    New Jersey Man Beaten to Death by His Daughter’s Alleged Sexual Assault Assailant and His Father

    A teenage boy and his father have been charged with beating a man to death in New Jersey who was trying to defend his daughter following an alleged sexual assault, according to Too Fab

    On Easter Sunday, Louis “Gus” Serbeck, 54, and his daughter went to confront Eric D. Hannah, 55, and his son “J.H.”, 17, after Serbeck’s daughter informed him that “J.H.” had assaulted her at his residence the previous day, as reported by the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office.

    Details of the Fatal Assault

    “J.H.” was the one who answered the door, according to the prosecutor’s statement. Serbeck’s daughter informed the police that her father went over to speak with the teens’ father because they were reportedly family friends. However, when “J.H.” answered the door, she described him as being immediately “aggressive.” The situation reportedly escalated into a “physical altercation,” after “J.H.” allegedly picked up a baseball bat and used it to smash a window on Serbeck’s car. Serbeck attempted to stop him and “J.H.” allegedly struck Serbeck multiple times in the head with a metal baseball bat, reports note. 

    The teenager is also accused of hitting Serbeck’s daughter in the head during the confrontation. Hannah is said to have joined the fight, hitting Serbeck “in the back of the head with a metal flashlight.” According to the probable cause statement, as Serbeck and his daughter tried to leave, he suddenly collapsed to the ground near his vehicle. The Vineland Police Department and emergency medical response arrived on the scene, according to prosecutors. Serbeck was transported to a local hospital and set to be air-transported to another facility, but he died en route.

    Eric Hannah and “J.H.” were both arrested on April 20 on charges of homicide and weapons offenses. Additionally, “J.H.” is facing a charge of aggravated assault based on the allegations made by Serbeck’s daughter.

    Chinese Tourist Couple Arrested for Allegedly Having Intercourse in the Streets of Thailand

    A Chinese couple has been taken into custody after engaging in sexual intercourse on a street in Thailand, as reported by the NY Post. Oh Zhihang, 67, and his partner Lin Tingting, 35, set up a tripod and began recording themselves while performing the act on the pavement in Pattaya on Wednesday.

    A Florida man reported his perverted father to the police after he reportedly discovered close to 1,000 files of child pornography on his dad’s phone, as reported by the NY Post. The son was reportedly trying to fix his locked Google account, which was disabled due to the abhorrent content. 

    The Kenneth City Police Department arrested 63-year-old Gene Follin. Follin allegedly admitted to authorities that he was aware he possessed the images.

    According to the document, the elder Follin had asked his son for help with accessing his Gmail account after being informed that it was disabled due to

    “sexual, explicit images of children.”
