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...

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.

8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts, and there may be other victims.

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 fortunate that the two women who have come forward about their rapes are getting the police assistance to which they're entitled as public citizens. However, many victims in the sex work industry go without justice -- and some go completely ignored. Hopefully, if this man has any more victims in the city, they come forward and help put him behind bars where he belongs.

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...

The body of a mummified man was found on a toilet in a California home recently, while authorities were searching for an entirely different missing person. This bizarre news comes out of Union City, where news of this nature seldom makes headlines. People reports that police were searching a home in August while looking for a woman that had been reported missing. While searching the home they located the mummified body of a man on a toilet in the home.  Authorities were searching for an elderly woman that wasn't currently living at the residence, and wasn't found inside.
