Couple rape teenage boy in a foursome while their children slept nearby

A Missouri couple allegedly held a 16-year-old boy down and raped him as part of a foursome also involving a young woman, police said.
Laura Bentley was charged last week with sodomy, while Jason Schlueter was charged with sodomy and rape, police records show.
The teen told police he was raped by the couple in their Carrollton home in late August or early September, while their four young children were home, according to charging documents.
He said he told them he wasn’t interested in group sex, but Schlueter allegedly held him down while Bentley and the other woman, who is under 21, raped him.

One of the couple’s children, a 6-year-old girl, told police she was spanked after waking up and witnessing the sex. She later identified by name all four of the people involved in the alleged rape.
Bentley told police her young daughter witnessed a different threesome, which did not involve the teen boy, records show. But Schlueter admitted to the foursome, while still contending he never touched the boy and “did not know” if Bentley did.

It’s unclear how the couple knew the teen or the other woman. It's also unclear if the woman will face any charges.

One neighbor said he wasn’t surprised to learn of sick activities happening in the household.

“It is usually wild down there,” the neighbor told KCTV. “Kids would run up and down the stairs yelling and screaming and knocking on doors. It was pretty hectic sometimes.”

It is not yet known if the other woman will face charges relating to the incident.

Fuel subsidy: Reps query N222.1bn extra-budgetary spending

The House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Committee on the Non-Implementation of the 2015 Capital Budget has questioned the executive spending of N222.1bn on fuel subsidies from January 2015 to July, 2015.

During a public hearing in Abuja on Tuesday, Chairman of the committee, Aliyu Pategi (APC Kwara), expressed the committee’s position.

He said:

“Appropriation is an Act, and we insist on its implementation. We want to know where there are challenges but to spend monies such as the N222.1bn without recourse to the parliament is not acceptable to us,” the lawmaker said.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Mrs. Anastasia Daniel-Nwaobia, told the committee members that the Federal Government spent N222.1bn on fuel subsidy between January and July, 2015. She said the money wasnt added n the 2015 Appropriation Act nor was it approved by the National Assembly.

 

Daniel-Nwaobia, who was represented by the Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation, Mr. Aliyu Gusau, said he did not have sufficient information on the expenditures.

Sean Penn sues Lee Daniels for $10M after abuse comments

Sean Penn is suing 'Empire' director Lee Daniels, for accusing him of being violent to women hitting him with a $10 million defamation suit.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Sean Penn says Daniels defamed him when he compared him to scandal-scarred “Empire” star Terrence Howard in a recent interview.

Lee Daniels

“That poor boy, (Terrence) ain’t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he’s some f---in’ demon. That’s a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America,” Daniels told the Hollywood Reporter.

The suit says the statements about Penn, “one of this generation’s most highly acclaimed and greatest artists and humanitarians”, are “reckless false and defamatory.”
“Specifically, in purporting to ‘defend’ the ongoing legal and related troubles of  the star of Daniels’ television show ‘Empire',  who has reportedly, and publicly, admitted to physically abusing at least one woman and reportedly been arrested five times for violent acts against women. Daniels has falsely asserted and/or implied that Penn is guilty of ongoing, continuing violence against women,” the suit says.
That’s not the case, the suit says.

While “he has certainly had several brushes with the law, Penn (unlike Howard) has never been arrested, much less convicted, for domestic violence, as his ex-wives (including Madonna) would confirm and attest,” the suit says.

“Nor has Penn admitted to “slap(ping) a woman or abusing others (as Howard has also reportedly admitted, reportedly asserted that he was acting in self-defense.)”

The suit cites a police report that quotes Howard as saying:

“I broke down the door and hit my wife,” and an interview with Rolling Stone, where Howard is quoted as saying, “She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids.”

Trans woman upset over airport security scanners flagging body 'anomaly'

A transgender woman told thousands of social media followers about her embarrassing experience going through security at Orlando International Airport, a problem occasionally faced by traveling trans men and women.

Shadi Petosky was flagged as she went through security at the airport as she rushed to her flight to Minneapolis Monday night due to an “anomaly” that appeared in her full-body scan calibrated for a woman. The canner went off and she was asked to step aside.

“That’s my penis,” she bluntly told a male Security agent, explaining that she was transgender.

The awkward conversation brought Petosky to tears as additional agents questioned her gender and pulled her aside for a 40-minute pat-down, inspection and explosive material scare that resulted in a missed flight to Minneapolis.

Dozens of tweets and a handful of tearful selfies documented the television producer’s ordeal, attracting the attention of transgender activists, American Airlines representatives and TSA officials.
“I’m embarrassed about it,” Petosky told the Daily News from a hotel in Miami.

American Airlines said they booked Shadi into another flight to Mineappolis for free after they heard of her ordeal but she said that was a lie.

She asked for any airline but AA to book her into another flight but she stayed in Miami until she booked another flight to Minneapolis on a later flight.

Photo: Boko Haram suspect arrested in Lagos

A suspected member of the Boko Haram sect identified as Abdullahi Adamu has been arrested by Security operatives attached to Operation Mesa (OP Mesa) in Ijora area of Lagos State following a tip-off by residents of the community. 

The suspect, identified as Abdullahi Adamu, was apprehended during a raid carried out by operatives of the security outfit comprising the Army and the State Security Service (SSS).

According to The Nation, the raid, which took place at the Ijora 7-Up area of Lagos, came after a tip-off on the activities of a terror network allegedly co-ordinated by Iranians. 

The suspects was arrested after soldiers ransacked one of the buildings in the area. Adamu was said to have concealed some devices suspected to be explosives in boxes, which were stacked in the ceiling of the house.  Also recovered alongside the suspected explosives were two AK47 rifles. 

Commenting on the arrest, the paramount ruler of Ijora community, Oba Fatai Ojora said

"We have been calling on the state government to do something about this. This is the second time we will arrest Boko Haram suspects in this community and nothing has been done on that. The one we caught now had even admitted that he is a terrorist. You know that majority of the northerners in Lagos live in Ijora, Agege and Badia.’’he said

Another member of the community who spoke on condition of anonymity said “People came to me that they saw one man on the internet and that he is a member of Boko Haram, saying they know where he lives. They said they are going to his house and identify him. They arrested him and handed him to Oba of Ojora,” he said.

Photo: Violence mar APC Bayelsa primaries...ends in deadlock

APC governorship primaries in Bayelsa today ended in deadlock after it was marred by violence and fraud when thugs invaded the venue. Some aspirants as well as party officials including the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and Edo state governor Adams Oshiomole was held hostage and was later smuggled out of the venue by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) and soldiers. Read the full report sent in from Bayelsa after the cut...

The Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa, venue of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary, was on Tuesday turned to a battle field as supporters of two leading governorship aspirants, Timi Alaibe and Timipre Sylva engaged themselves in violent clashes which left scores, including Alaibe, injured. "It was a pathetic sight to see a political event reduced to a combat", said an eye witness.

Trouble was said to have started when it was discovered by Alaibe and his supporters that accredited delegates from Brass, the LG of his arch-rival, Sylva, were far more than all delegates from the other LGs combined. It was in a bid to challenge what was seen as an anomaly by Alaibe and his supporters that a heated argument ensued resulting in a free- for- all between the opposing camps. In the process, Alaibe and many others sustained injuries.

To demonstrate his anger and disapproval of the electoral process, Alaibe was also said to have stormed out of the venue with his supporters in protest. Further investigation showed that many of those who participated in the fracas were ordinarily not supposed to attend the primary because they were not delegates but came as organised party thugs and militants on both sides to drum support for their respective choice of aspirants.

The bloody violence in which all manner of weapons were freely used, including broken bottles, cutlasses, knives and charms could have led to loss of lives except for the quick intervention of the police and other law enforcement agencies on ground. Even as the police used tear gas to repel elements seen as hired thugs and militants, a number of the victims loyal to Alaibe complained bitterly that they were stabbed by Sylva’s men.

All efforts by the Adams Oshiomhole committee responsible for the conduct of the primary election to save the day proved abortive as Alaibe, in company of his close associates, left the venue in obvious protest of the situation. Many of his supporters were also seen joining him in their mass exit from the Samson Siasia stadium venue.

Alaibe was said to be getting ready to address a press conference on the issue later today. Meanwhile, findings also indicated that some of the governorship aspirants have stepped down for the former governor, Timipre Sylva. As at the time of filing this report, Sylva was leading in the number of votes cast and likely to emerge winner.
