  • Woman Says She Relocated To Virginia From Florida For A New Job That She Worked At For 7 Days, Then HR Told Her She Was Never Hired

    Woman Says She Relocated To Virginia From Florida For A New Job That She Worked At For 7 Days, Then HR Told Her She Was Never Hired

    Camryn Spina recently shared her experience of relocating from Florida to Virginia for a job that, as it turned out, didn’t exist. This 24-year-old had applied for a cheerleading coach position at a college and received a positive response that left her eager to start, reports Insider.

    She underwent two interviews with the head coach and was even assigned tasks related to the position. However, a crucial detail was missing – she never received a formal contract or offer letter. This oversight became apparent only later.

    The college arranged for her to rent a car to come from Florida to Virginia after her initial online interview. After a successful second interview, she made the official move. She started working immediately, coaching athletes and managing team affairs.

    On August 8, her boss asked her to check with human resources about her details. HR’s response shocked her – her application was still under review, and there was no record of her being hired. After discussing the situation with her boss, it was confirmed that she had never been officially hired. Communication with her boss ceased, and she worried about the money spent on the move.

    Fortunately, the college’s HR department later reimbursed her for her relocation expenses and seven days of work, understanding the misunderstanding that had occurred.

    According to Insider, the school reimbursed her $1,600. The woman noted that she spent $1,500 on the move to Virginia. Spina says she is currently living with her parents and working a remote, part-time job.

  • Florida Woman Who’s Lifeless Body was Discovered In Alligator’s Mouth Was Previously Arrested For Trespassing Two Months Earlier

    Florida Woman Who’s Lifeless Body was Discovered In Alligator’s Mouth Was Previously Arrested For Trespassing Two Months Earlier

    A woman’s lifeless body was discovered in the grasp of a 14-foot alligator. The victim has been identified as 41-year-old Sabrina Peckham, a homeless woman who had a history of run-ins with the law, reports the NY Post. Just two months prior to her untimely death, Peckham was arrested for trespassing on county wetland property.

    According to court records, Pinellas County deputies caught Peckham trespassing on July 14, just half a mile from where her body was found. Despite warning signs, she ignored the restrictions and was ultimately charged with a misdemeanor. After pleading no contest, she was released from the county on September 8 and ordered to pay a $500 fine.

    Peckham also had convictions for drug possession and theft, reports note. Medical examiners are currently working to determine whether the alligator attack was the cause of her death.

    The incident was first reported by a witness on his way to a job interview, who spotted the massive alligator carrying Peckham’s body in a canal along a residential street. He immediately alerted the nearby fire department, who swiftly took action. Authorities made the decision to euthanize the alligator, which measured 13 feet and 8.5 inches in length. Some neighbors claimed that the reptile was shot multiple times after being pulled from the water.

    The area where the incident occurred is close to Ridgecrest Park, which is known to be home to alligators. Residents have reported regular sightings of these creatures, but the alligator responsible for Peckham’s death was one of the largest they had ever encountered.

  • Five High School Educators Charged With Failing To Report Abuse Of 15-Year-Old Girl, Police Say

    Five High School Educators Charged With Failing To Report Abuse Of 15-Year-Old Girl, Police Say

    A Florida high school principal and four staffers were arrested after failing to alert authorities about the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old student, NY Post reported. 

    Palm Beach Central High School Principal Darren Edgecomb, 58, assistant principal Dan Snider, 49, assistant principal Nereyda Garcia, 37, chorus teacher Scott Houchins, 53, and school behavioral therapist Priscilla Carter were all arrested for their involvement in neglecting to report the abuse. 

    The adults were reportedly informed about the incident on June 16, 2021, after the girl’s friend wrote a letter alleging that the victim had been assaulted by two male students, CBS 12 reported.

    According to the letter the victim,

    “has had many problems with guys and has been sexually assaulted by two of them,”

    with the friend confessing that they had witnessed the suspects

    “not taking no for an answer.”

    The letter also said that the 15-year-old was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks due to the assault, which was leading her to commit

    “self-harm.”

    The letter was never reported to the Department of Children and Families, which is mandated by state law, according to the affidavit. During a meeting held on August 19, 2021, a month after the assault was reported by the victim’s friend, Garcia said the student’s parents should be responsible for telling the state, according to the charging documents. 

    One staffer even claimed to have conducted their own investigation, concluding that no assault had occurred. However, the school did punish one of the boys. When officials asked the staff member why they moved forward in disciplining the child despite no findings, the educator replied that he was

    “aware of how it looks.”

    All five administrators were charged with one count of failure to report sexual abuse and were authorized to stay away from the victim, witnesses, and students, reports reveal.

    “The allegations involving students occurred off of school property and over a weekend. However, no matter when or where any alleged assault against a student occurs, our policy aligns with the law, which requires all personnel to report suspected abuse,”

    the district added.
