role as a fifth- and sixth-grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary to manipulate her victims, luring them with gifts, special attention and even completing their homework, according to the San Diego County district attorney’s office. When one of her victims was not allowed access to social media or personal electronic devices at home, she went so far as to set up an unsanctioned after-school program and directed him to message her through a school chat application, prosecutors said. The 36-year-old teacher pleaded guilty in February to two counts of forcible lewd acts on a child, one count of a lewd...

Talk about unintended consequences! In 2023, Maryland Democrats voted to stick it to the Catholic-Church by lifting the statute of limitations on suing for child sexual abuse after an investigative report of the Archdiocese of Baltimore showed over 600 children had been abused there since the 1940s. Now, this might have been well intentioned, but it was also a clear attempt, and a successful one, to damage the Catholic Church in Maryland. But while the lawmakers were busy high-fiving the destruction of those awful Catholics, they ended up stepping in their own trap. Much to their chagrin, they had forgotten...

[Catholic Caucus] Catholics ask Trump administration to investigate USCCB on immigration, sex abuseThe request calls into question the Catholic Church's 'commitment to protecting minors and the vulnerable from sex abuse' and states that 'the USCCB should not be involved in settling refugees and immigrants.'Catholics have been devastated by the Catholic Church’s record for priestly sexual abuse, for covering up that abuse, and for mistreating victims. We question its commitment to protecting minors and the vulnerable from sex abuse and believe the USCCB should not be involved in settling refugees and immigrants. We fear some money was spent for undesignated and...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis’ remarks on sex abuse ring hollow after appointing McElroy as DC bishopWhile Pope Francis may call for better protection of the young and vulnerable, his elevation of Cardinal Robert McElroy as Archbishop of Washington, D.C., demonstrates that his actual regard for them is somewhat different to what his words suggest.Pope Francis with Cardinal McElroy (L), Cardinals Tobin & Cupich, on Oct 10, 2024.While Pope Francis decried any form of neglect or maltreatment of children on Wednesday, numerous commentators have opined that by appointing Cardinal Robert McElroy to the Archdiocese of Washington, Francis shows he has no...

The last month has been disastrous for President Joe Biden and Democrats' hopes of maintaining the White House in 2024. As of Monday night, that month just got a whole lot worse. Tara Reade, who accused President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her when the president was still a senator, has returned to the U.S. and is moving to pursue criminal charges against the president for his alleged crimes against her. ---------------------------------------- "Many people have said, 'What was I scared of,'" Reade said. "Now, after seeing what happened to Trump, now do you understand why I felt I had to...

Mayor Eric Adams’ lawyers are playing hardball with the woman accusing him of sexually abusing her while they served in the NYPD together decades ago. Adams’ attorneys claimed in a court document filed Tuesday that plaintiff Lorna Beach-Mathura and her legal team have been dragging their feet in complying with their requests for evidence in the case. “Plaintiff failed to properly respond to defendants’ discovery requests by the deadline prescribed by the CPLR [New York Consolidated Laws, Civil Practice Law and Rules],” Adams co-counsel Alex Spiro and city assistant corporation counsel Maxwell Leighton wrote in the Manhattan Supreme Court filing.

In our final Monday Lineup, we expose a second round of sexual predators from the Northeast – all of them found inside the abortion clinic, with a state license that gives them access to the very women they have shamelessly attacked. Sexual abuse is not healthcare, and neither is abortion. BOTH are criminal. Meet Roger Ian Hardy, last seen fleeing the country after 30 years of sexual abuse, cover-ups, and silenced victims came to light… Much of the abuse perpetrated by Roger Ian Hardy could have been stopped if state officials would have taken victims seriously and if medical professionals...

Dr. Adam Levy, an abortionist at the Birth Control Care Center abortion facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, is no stranger to controversy. His past first came under widespread scrutiny in 2022 after he appeared in a political ad opposing Republican April Becker‘s campaign. Becker was running for the U.S. House at the time. In the ad, Levy claimed that Becker’s “extreme backers” supported “ban[ning] all abortions.” He also claimed, “Before Roe v. Wade, doctors saw plenty of botched, back-alley abortions, and far too many women died.” Notably, this is untrue; most “back-alley” abortions were committed by doctors, and the death...

April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (SAAM) — a hard topic and one that abortion supporters all but ignore when it comes to the abortion industry.

In the realm of sexual crimes, a stark contrast exists in the level of media attention and public awareness when the perpetrators wear different hats, specifically, the robes of the Catholic Church versus the more secular attire of public school teachers or individuals from diverse spiritual beliefs. When allegations of sexual misconduct arise within the Catholic Church, the media responds with a resounding uproar that reverberates globally. Cases involving Catholic priests make headlines, sparking international outrage, and prompting discussions about accountability and reform. Furthermore, authors exploring themes of scandal and controversy within the Catholic Church frequently experience an unexpected surge...

At least three Assemblies of God pastors have called on denominational leaders to repent and, where appropriate, resign after organizers of the Chi Alpha Campus Ministries were accused of allowing Daniel Savala, a 67-year-old itinerant minister and convicted sex offender, to prey on scores of young males for more than two decades. The Assemblies of God claimed on Friday, however, that it had warned local Chi Alpha leaders about Savala and is already taking steps to dismiss leaders who failed to protect participants in the ministry as they continue to investigate the scandal. The latest call for accountability has come...

A 24-year-old transgender democratic socialist announced her bid to unseat a Queens assemblyman accused of sexual abuse and become Albany’s first non-binary lawmaker. Émilia Decaudin, who is a member of New York’s Democratic Committee, said Tuesday she would run against Assembly member Juan Ardila, who has resisted calls from party leaders to resign over accusations of sexual misconduct. If Ardila finishes his term, Decaudin would not face off against him at the ballot box until next year’s primary election. The self-described “socialist organizer” and “transgender rights advocate” said in a press release she would work to make Assembly District 37...

SAVANNAH, Georgia (LifeSiteNews) — The sole Carmelite monastery in the state of Georgia has been ordered to shut down following an Apostolic Visitation in February 2022. “The lesson now for anyone considering a religious vocation in Savannah is that everything can be stripped away from you overnight – your charism, your Latin Mass, your housing, and your vows to God could all go up in smoke,” Amara Derienzo, a gardener at the monastery who recently spent a week there discerning her vocation there, told LifeSiteNews. The monastery sits on prime acres of property that has been home to the Carmelite...
