A popular YouTuber who vlogged about life as a transgender woman downloaded child sex abuse images while running a day care center with her boyfriend, it is claimed. Kadence Pinder, 24, allegedly saved 125 abuse images featuring boys as young as three or four being sexually abused. Her boyfriend Marcus Strebel, 29, is also accused of accessing the illegal images with her. Pinder and Strebel, from Sandy in Utah, were both charged on Tuesday after Google tipped off police to suspected child sex abuse material being uploaded to an account used by the couple. Deseret News reported that the pair both work for a day care center which operates out of their home. Pinder was previously investigated over an alleged ‘hands-on’ child sexual offense, but the case against her was later dropped. No further details of that allegation have been shared. She previously ran a popular YouTube channel documenting her transition, as well as the realities of life as a transgender person. That account – as well as Pinder’s Instagram and Twitter pages – have lain dormant since 2018. Pinder previously hit the headlines in 2017 after claiming she was raped by a porn director after attending a casting session.…

"I've been in and out of this shop throughout my life and spent enough time there to see the community spirit and vibrant character the owner and the customers have. I felt this shop had a story to tell," says filmmaker Troy Browne of Mitchell's the Bowl, a West Indian grocery in Nottingham, England. Browne created the five-minute mini-doc below, one of seven films in a grant-funded series from Vimeo and Mailchimp spotlighting Black directors and Black-owned businesses from around the world. Combining cut-out animations with in-store interviews, Browne introduces viewers to Claudette Mitchell, whose father founded the store six decades ago. As its owner for the past 25 years, Claudette has carried on a tradition of service and camaraderie. Now, she plans to retire and turn over the reins to the next generation: It's an affecting tale of a family's love for their work and neighbors. Of long hours and tireless struggle for success. Of the bonds that owners form with customers and the varied flavors, literal and figurative, their efforts add to everyday life. "I hope people watch this film and get a look at a world they may not have seen—escape to a small place that would go…

As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the globe, countries are trying to find inventive ways to encourage people to abide by their preventative measures and restrictions. That was the thinking behind the idea when French President Emmanuel Macron made a bet with two French YouTube comedians. Now the popular duo has won their bet after getting more than 10 million views on YouTube with a song about social distancing. Macron had challenged and dared the YouTube duo “Mcfly et Carlito,” who have over 6 million subscribers on the social media platform YouTube, to make a video about the need to wear masks, disinfect hands and keep a safe distance to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. As an incentive, he promised that if the video hit 10 million views then they could film their next project in the historical Elysee palace, the official residence of the president of the French Republic. With nearly 13-million views as of Friday, the duo has easily won the challenge with a ukulele-backed song that satirizes and makes fun of people who ignore COVID-19 social distancing rules. "I sneezed in my hand because my elbow was too far," one line of…
