Shoshana Leffler, 37, remains licensed to teach after resigning from the High School for Health Careers and Sciences last year rather than face questions over the seven-minute tryst that was partially caught on surveillance video. But investigators have concluded the Princeton University graduate 'engaged in an inappropriate relationship' with the boy who should have been in class at the time. 'What...

Fake heiress Anna Sorokin says her around-the-clock home confinement and ban from social media are “more restrictive” than being behind bars, new court papers show. Sorokin — who rose to infamy under the alter ego Anna Delvey — has been forced to stay in an apartment 24 hours a day for more than a year as she fights deportation and her 2019 conviction for scamming $200,000 from banks and businesses. Now the fraudster is asking a Manhattan federal judge to step in and change the conditions of her house arrest — which ban her from leaving home for any reason...

One of the most unexpected legacies generated by The Simpsons is the repeated insistences in which the creative team have some form of clairvoyancy, with so many real-world events appearing to be predicted well ahead of time by Springfield’s most famous family. With that in mind, it was inevitable that an episode removed from the airwaves in the aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks gave rise to a predictive conspiracy theory, even if it was nothing more than a matter of coincidence and a show of respect. The first episode of the ninth season, ‘The City of New York...

The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night. He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff. While he is mentioned only fleetingly in the new files - an Epstein victim asked whether she'd ever given Barak a massage - there has long been speculation surrounding his relationship with the financier.

Scotty Enoe, 46, was indicted on the lesser rap of manslaughter in the July 6 death of 50-year-old homeless man Charles Brito at a CVS at Broadway and West 49th Street.

The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) filed a lawsuit against the Manhattan District Attorney‘s office on Thurday over the earlier seizure of a headless bronze statue, estimated to be worth $20 million. The museum stated in its lawsuit that it “does not question that the New York district attorney sometimes gets it right and returns true stolen items to foreign nations.

A Bronx House Democrat ripped a socialist group as “despicable,” after it gave a half-hearted apology for promoting a virulent pro-Palestinian rally in Manhattan last weekend. Rep. Ritchie Torres noted that the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter’s delayed mea culpa Tuesday for the rally couldn’t “even be bothered to mention, much less condemn, Hamas and its mass murder of Jews,” in a Wednesday X post. “It refers vaguely to ‘loved ones in harm’s way.’ It projects moral outrage only when blaming Israel as the ‘root cause’ of the violence,” Torres said of the statement. “The DSA, despite...

De Blasio insisted the change of scenery will be a “temporary thing,” according to the source — and that he’ll split his time between his new Manhattan digs and his longtime Park Slope, Brooklyn home that he shares with wife Chirlane...

The unhinged Manhattan college professor who threatened to “chop” a Post reporter copped a wrist-slap plea deal in Bronx court on Monday. Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, will dodge jail time and won’t even have a criminal record if she makes it through as little as six months in therapy under the terms of her sweetheart deal with Bronx prosecutors.
