Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) fended off questions about Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) at a press conference about immigration reform. The first question out of the gate was from CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, who asked Reid when he learned that Menendez had reimbursed a political donor nearly $60,000 for two trips he took on the donor’s private plane. Reid defended the Menendez as a “friend” and “outstanding senator” but declined to discuss any details he may have had with the New Jersey lawmaker about media reports of allegations that he had sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. “First...

News has just broke that Scott Richard Swirling, former director of the pro-abortion National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), has been arrested in a child sex sting.

The man convicted of running an Oakland Park brothel called the Boom Boom Room was sentenced to life in federal prison Monday. James "Red" Mozie, 35, was convicted of eight counts of child sex trafficking, one count of conspiring to commit child sex trafficking and one count of producing child pornography by taking cell phone photos of an under-age girl.

I’ve written often about the sadistic little coward. No surprise that the Swiss government just freed the “celebrated” Roman Polanski from his multi-million dollar Swiss Chalet. The international pedophile movement would have applied whatever pressure was needed to have one of their own released from his champagne and caviar castle walls. Roman must have had banker backers along with his cult of leftist Hollywood deviants andclose chums like the homophile pederast French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand (Roman always preferred little girls to boys). As a Bangkok boy sex tourist,Mitterrand despaired that Roman was "thrown to the lions," and glad to...

An 8-year-old Saudi girl has divorced her middle-aged husband after her father forced her to marry him last year in exchange for about $13,000, her lawyer said Thursday. Saudi Arabia has come under increasing criticism at home and abroad for permitting child marriages. The United States, a close ally of the conservative Muslim kingdom, has called child marriage a "clear and unacceptable" violation of human rights. The girl was allowed to divorce the 50-year-old man who she married in August after an out-of-court settlement had been reached in the case, said her lawyer, Abdulla al-Jeteli. The exact date of the...

The case of a 13-year-old Arizona girl strip-searched by school officials looking for ibuprofen pain-reliever will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The justices in January accepted the Safford school district case for review, and will decide whether a campus setting gives school administrators greater discretion to control students suspected of illegal activity than police are allowed in cases involving adults in general public spaces. The case is centered around Savana Redding, now 19, who in 2003 was an eighth-grade honors student at Safford Middle School, about 127 miles from Tucson, Arizona. Redding was strip-searched by school...

NEWARK, N.J. - A rare international alert seeking a man shown in dozens of raw child porn images quickly led to the arrest of a small-time actor, who painted faces at children's parties and performed as "the best Santa Claus anyone has ever seen." Wayne Nelson Corliss told authorities he had sex with three boys in Thailand six years ago, an experience he described as "euphoria," a prosecutor said Thursday at Corliss' first court appearance. The arrest of the bespectacled, gray-haired 58-year-old at his Union City apartment late Wednesday capped a two-day global manhunt, just the second time Interpol has...

The Mayor of a central Queensland Aboriginal community says he is aware of girls as young as 12 being given contraceptives. The Mayor of Woorabinda, Roderick Tobane, says he knows of six girls under 16 who have received the implants and says their parents have taken a mature attitude. "[They are] acknowledging that their children are sexually active and they're putting measures in place to make sure that their children don't get pregnant," he said. The State Opposition claims doctors have given the contraceptive implants to girls without their parents' permission. But Queensland Health says doctors always seek parental consent....

The thing here is these liberals are concerned about the children getting the wrong message about sexuality when they start experimenting with sex. In kindergarten. Parents? Unqualified to handle something this important. It needs to be done by professionals. This is nothing more than an attempt to usher children at a younger age into sexual behavior. I’m not saying the doctors here are pedophiles, but if they aren’t, they are doing them a favor.

OSLO, Norway, October 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Oslo pre-school teacher, backed by child psychologists, has suggested that kindergarten children be encouraged to “express” their sexuality through “sex-play” and games, including dancing naked and masturbating, in pre-school and day-care centres.  The English language edition of Norway’s Aftenposten newspaper reports that Pia Friis, the respected operator of an Oslo kindergarten, told an interviewer that children should be able “to look at each other and examine each other's bodies. They can play doctor, play mother and father, dance naked and masturbate”. “But their sexuality must also be socialized, so they are not, for...

British authorities promote sex education programmes that would make a sailor blush - and achieve record rates of disease and pregnancy.

LONDON (Reuters) - Interpol said on Wednesday it was launching a special task force to tackle a growing problem of pedophiles using fake "modeling" sites on the Internet to gain access to children. The sites do not contain sexually graphic images, but serve as a front, enabling pedophiles to contact the site owners and gain physical access to the so-called child models, or to buy images of the children being abused. "This trend requires the urgent attention of law enforcement, but the significant investigative resources required are simply not available in most national police forces, which is why Interpol is...

Police report says Epstein had okayed deal in underage sex probe JULY 27--Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, now ensnared in a sleazy Palm Beach teenage sex/massage scandal, agreed earlier this year to plead guilty to an aggravated assault charge, serve five years probation, undergo "psychiatric/sexual evaluation," and have no unsupervised visits with minors, according to a police report.

BA RIA, Vietnam (AFP) - A Vietnamese court has convicted former British glam rocker Gary Glitter of sexually abusing two underage Vietnamese girls and sentenced him to three years in prison. The faded 1970s pop star, born Paul Francis Gadd, was found guilty of "committing obscene acts with children" -- two girls aged 11 and 12 -- last year in the South China Sea resort town of Vung Tau. Glitter, 61, will be deported from the communist country after serving out his sentence, the three-member panel of judges at the Ba Ria Vung Tau Provincial People's Court ruled. "The defendant...

The former rock star Gary Glitter has paid more than £2,000 to the families of two under-age Vietnamese girls he is accused of sexually abusing, his lawyer has confirmed. Glitter gave £1,100 each to the families of the 11 and 12-year-old girls he allegedly had sex with, the lawyer said. The families, who were paid two weeks ago in US dollars, had originally asked for £5,600 and £3,000. Last week both families wrote letters to the court asking for the case against the 70s’ star to be dropped. The payments have been condemned as "shameful" by justice campaigners. Stephen Jakobi,...

Defendant faced life in prison NEWARK — Facing life in prison, Kevin Walters cried with joy and hugged his family after a jury returned innocent verdicts on 12 sex-abuse charges. Walters, 33, had been accused of four counts of rape, first-degree felonies, and eight counts of gross sexual imposition, fourth-degree felonies. Because of the accuser’s age, the rape counts carried mandatory life imprisonment if he had been found guilty. The charges alleged that Walters forcibly engaged in sexual conduct with a female family member over a two-year period beginning in 2002 when the girl was 11 years old. Without physical...

Indian media have been publishing exposés documenting the foul behavior of Gulf Arabs in the southern Indian town of Hyderabad “Fly-by-night bridegrooms,” by R Akhileshwari in the Deccan Herald and “One minor girl, many Arabs,” by Mohammed Wajihuddin in the Times of India are two important examples. Wajihuddin sets the stage: They are old predators with new vigour. Often bearded, invariably in flowing robes and expensive turbans. The rich, middle-aged Arabs increasingly stalk the deprived streets of Hyderabad like medieval monarchs would stalk their harems in days that we wrongly think are history. These Viagra-enabled Arabs are perpetrating a blatant...
