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...

The Flaws of Our Criminal Justice System: A True Crime Writer's Perspective

As someone who has been writing about true crime and criminal justice for years, I’ve seen the many flaws of our justice system up close. From wrongful convictions to excessive sentencing, there are many ways in which our system fails those it’s supposed to protect.

One of the biggest issues with our criminal justice system is its reliance on punishment rather than rehabilitation. Too often, individuals who have committed crimes are thrown into prison without any real attempt to address the underlying issues that led to their behavior in the first place. This approach not only fails to address the root causes of criminal behavior, but it also perpetuates a cycle of recidivism.

Another issue with our criminal justice system is the racial and socioeconomic disparities that exist within it. Studies have shown that individuals from marginalized communities are more likely to be arrested, charged, and sentenced to harsher penalties than their white, middle-class counterparts.

It’s clear that our criminal justice system is in need of major reform. We need to shift our focus from punishment to rehabilitation and work towards creating a system that is fair and just for all. Only then can we truly achieve justice for victims and offenders alike.

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. Police say the Kentucky woman "shot, stabbed, decapitated, dismembered and eviscerated" her mother, before putting her mothers hands, feet, arms and head in the oven in her home.  Police say they discovered the older woman's mutilated body in the backyard, but inside they found a blood-soaked mattress covered with body parts and organs. They also claim that Torilena May Fields emerged from the home soaked with blood, "casting spells" at them, experiencing what appeared to be...
