Las Vegas man Accused of Multiple Violent Rapes

  A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts. Both alleged victims claimed that the Las Vegas man used a firearm to threaten them. Non-virtual sex work (i.e., physical prostitution) is a dangerous line of work, especially in large cities like Las Vegas -- where rates of non-virtual sex work have increased by 50% in recent years. Prostitutes -- especially street walkers -- are often victims of violent crime and robberies. It's fortunat...

Florida Man Says Voodoo Made Him Do It

A Florida man is in the news for committing the vile act of child sex abuse, but it’s not exactly the crime that’s getting attention. The West Palm Beach man is going viral for blaming Voodoo, using it as a version of the ages-old copout “The Devil Made Me Do It.”

According to True Crime Daily and NBC News, the Florida man — very ironically named Jean Innocent — is accused of impregnating a 13-year-old girl. The 41-year-old man says that he’s not entirely responsible for the situation, however. He claims that Voodoo is responsible for his actions. Of course reports aren’t entirely clarifying on why specifically Voodoo is to blame.

The Florida man has been charged with two counts of sexual battery on a child and one count of incest as well as one count of impregnation of a child. These are several felony charges, which could land him in prison for a very, very long time. The relationship between Innocent and the victim isn’t being shared in media reports, but it’s evident that the older man is some kind of family member to the child. Hopefully she can recover emotionally and mentally from this incredibly despicable and damaging situation.

The element of Voodoo in this case is troubling, but not because of the religion itself. Voodoo is a religion that is practiced by numerous people in Africa, the Caribbean and parts of the United States. It’s long been vilified by Christians and portrayed in media as some evil, demon-centered form of mysticism. It’s clear that the Florida man in this case is just using Voodoo as a scapegoat for his own vile actions, but in doing so he’s simply adding to the negative stereotypes surrounding this culturally important religious practice.

Las Vegas: Crackhead Teacher Leaves Cocaine In Bathroom at Elementary School

A Las Vegas elementary school teacher was arrested recently after she left a baggie of cocaine in a bathroom at the school where she's employed. Now the pathetic cokehead is calling the incident a "stupid mistake," and Clark County School District is making a mockery of the situation by giving her paid leave instead of terminating her employment entirely. How many other people are actively on drugs around kids in this school system, if this is how CCSD is choosing to handle things? 8 News Now reports that 46-year-old Danielle Fingar was arrested after another teacher found her lost baggie of cocaine in a staff bathroom. Security footage directly tied the elementary school teacher -- who is employed at Bunker Elementary-- to the baggie of dope. Footage reportedly showed the teacher walking into the bathroom with a cosmetic bag containing the baggie of cocaine before 8:00 a.m. When she left the bathroom she no longer had the cosmetic bag. Another teacher found the illici...

Does Nick Fuentes Have HIV?

Far-right personality Nick Fuentes just can't catch a break these days, and it couldn't be more deserved. Aside from rumors that he and streamer Destiny engaged in oral sex in a now-viral leaked sex-tape, now it's being spread around that he has an incurable STI.  Numerous netizens are spreading around claims that Nick Fuentes has HIV. To be specific, it's being claimed that Fuentes himself has come out with the announcement. This rumor can be traced to a tweet made by an account posing as a verified media source -- and it's not very likely that the source is legitimate. It would be a bit of poetic justice for Nick Fuentes to be diagnosed with HIV, but rumors like this would only serve to further vilify the LGTB community -- as this particular rumor implies that the diagnosis has come after the viral video leak featuring Destiny.  So far, no authentic media sources have come forward with any reports verifying that Nick Fuentes has HIV. For now it seems that this is...

Kentucky woman Torilena May Fields has been arrested after police say she murdered her mother in a shocking and gruesome crime. Police say the 32-year-old not only shot and stabbed her 68-year-old mother, but she dismembered her and then tried to cook her body parts until they were charred. The Daily Mail reports that 32-year-old Torilena May Fields was arrested last week after a bizarre confrontation with authorities, who discovered a horrific scene at the home of her 68-year-old mother.

They also claim that Torilena May Fields emerged from the home soaked with blood, "casting spells" at them, experiencing what appeared to be...
