Investigators confirmed, now former co-owner of one of Charlotte’s biggest breweries used Snapchat to communicate with the 13-year-old girl he’s accused of raping CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Investigators have confirmed that the former co-owner of one of Charlotte's largest breweries used Snapchat to communicate with a 13-year-old girl he is accused of raping, highlighting concerns among child psychologists about how social media platforms can facilitate abuse. Justin Brigham, who recently stepped down from his role at Sycamore Brewing, faces charges of raping a child last week. Mental health experts say such incidents can have profound and lasting psychological impacts on young victims. "The age absolutely makes a difference because there is incomplete brain development there," said Nannette Funderburk, a clinical counselor and health psychologist. "The perception of things and the way things play out can be extremely impactful to a child." Business has reportedly slowed at Sycamore Brewing since news of the charges broke, as the community grapples with the allegations against Brigham. Funderburk said sexual abuse can affect children differently, but common impacts include difficulty in school, struggles with relationships, post-traumatic stress disorder, trust issues and behavioral changes. "In this situation, everybody needs therapy and possibly it may have to

Apparently, the New York Mets had a rift in their locker room this past season that revolved around President Donald Trump. During the latest episode of WFAN legend Mike Francesa's podcast, he discussed the Mets' offseason moves and what it means for the 2026 season. He reported that two of the biggest stars in the MLB, Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, didn't form a tight bond this past year. Advertisement "I checked into it. Lindor and Soto were never buddy-buddy. It was never Soto and Judge. Soto loved Judge. My understanding is Lindor and Soto got off on the wrong foot when Lindor did not call him and welcome him to the team. But it was never that they couldn’t play together or anything major," Francesa said. Francesa then commented on a reported feud between Lindor and Brandon Nimmo. He claims they clashed heads over the president. "The Nimmo-Lindor thing, my understanding, was political. Had to do with Trump. One side liked Trump, one side didn’t like Trump.  » Read More

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Kai Cenat attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) Kai Cenat used the occasion of his 24th birthday to address his mental health struggles. In the viral video shared on Iinstagram, he thanked fans for supporting him through the years before mentioning that he was stressed from the pursuit of success.   In the vulnerable post, he reminded his audience about his earlier talk about mental health: “I appreciate everybody who's been sending me birthday wishes, as today is my birthday. So I felt like it was the perfect day to be transparent and honest with you guys. A few days ago, I spread awareness on mental health and how important it is to take care of yourself.” The Streamer’s University convener admitted that the weight of his goals and aspirations caused him to doubt himself : “And honestly, for the past few months I’ve been struggling with mental health out of self-doubt and fear of pursuing goals that I really wanna achieve. And the reason I've really been in my head is that I wanted to do more. 

by Stephanie A. (Sam) Martin, Boise State University, The Jeffrey Epstein story has slipped in and out of the headlines for years, but in a very particular way. Most news articles ask a specific question – which powerful men might be on “the list”? Headlines focus on unidentified elites and who may be exposed or embarrassed, rather than on the people whose suffering made the case newsworthy in the first place: the girls and young women Epstein abused and trafficked. Right now, the story is entering a new phase. A federal judge has authorized the Justice Department to unseal grand jury transcripts and other evidence from Epstein companion Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking case. A court in Florida has cleared the release of grand jury records from a federal investigation into Epstein himself, all under the new Epstein Files Transparency Act. Passed in November 2025, that law gives the Justice Department 30 days to release nearly all Epstein-related files. The deadline is Dec. 19. Journalists and the public are watching to see what those documents will reveal beyond names we already know, and whether a long-rumored client list will finally materialize.

Asmongold criticized Twitch for allowing gambling-related ads to run during streams while creators publicly condemn gambling content. He argued that running ads makes streamers complicit, calling the debate “over” and accusing the platform of hypocrisy. With sports betting and fantasy ads still allowed, Asmongold says Twitch and its creators can no longer claim a moral high ground. Asmongold has reignited the long-running debate over gambling on Twitch, this time turning his frustration toward both the platform and fellow creators. The veteran streamer criticized Twitch for allowing gambling-related advertisements to appear during streams, despite its public stance against certain gambling content. While Twitch banned streams tied to unregulated casino sites in 2022, Asmongold argues the platform’s continued promotion of sports betting and fantasy sports exposes a contradiction that undercuts years of moral outrage from creators. In his view, the issue is no longer about policy nuances but about honesty. If gambling ads are running, he believes the platform and streamers who enable ads, are already complicit, whether they admit it or not. Why Asmongold says the gambling debate on Twitch is already over Asmongold didn’t mince words when addressing the situation on stream. “Right now, if you’re streaming on Twitch and

AKWESASNE, New York (WWNY) - St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police are investigating allegations that a special needs student was mistreated in the Salmon River Central School District. Lt. Ted Cook said the probe began Monday morning after photos of a wooden box began circulating on social media.
