One 54-second video depicted Wright and an adult female having sex as the toddler victim pushed on Wright’s hips. The other videos showed Wright exploiting the child in other explicit content, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Ohio. The U.S. Attorneys Office detailed in court filings that local law enforcement agencies received at least three other complaints against Wright involving different child victims between 2019 and 2023, including allegations of inappropriately touching victims at a sleepover. This case also involved Tiffany Morningstar, 23, who was locally indicted in early March 2024 by a Butler County grand jury on seven counts of complicity to pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and two counts of child endangering following a Middletown police investigation. Middletown police began investigating the couple after a complaint from a woman who said she was watching a Snapchat video of a couple known to her who were having sex, and a nude toddler was in the video, according to court documents. The same grand jury that indicted Morningstar also indicted Wright on seven counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and one count of felony child endangering, before his federal indictment.

On Monday, Nepal's decision to block access to major social media platforms triggered the country's deadliest unrest in decades, as Gen Z-led protests over corruption and censorship spiraled into violence. Social Media Shutdown Sparks Youth Anger Authorities last week restricted access to Facebook, Meta Platforms, Inc.'s META Instagram and WhatsApp, Alphabet Inc.'s GOOG GOOGL YouTube, ByteDance-owned TikTok, Snap Inc.'s SNAP Snapchat, Micrososft Corporation's MSFT LinkedIn, Reddit Inc. RDDT, and other apps, saying companies had failed to register under new rules designed to curb misinformation and online fraud. About 90% of Nepal's 30 million citizens use the internet, making the blackout a shock to daily life, reported Reuters. "Shut down corruption and not social media," read placards carried by student protesters in Kathmandu. Demonstrators — many wearing school or college uniforms — broke through barricades outside parliament, set an ambulance on fire and clashed with riot police who responded with tear gas, batons and rubber bullets, the report said. Meta, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Snap and LinkedIn did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comments.  Also Read: Elon Musk Returns To Intense Work Schedule: ‘Back To Working 7 Days a Week and Sleeping in the Office' Casualties And Resignation Officials confirmed at

By Payton Gall Sep 8, 2025 | 5:16 PM Fargo Police arrested a juvenile Saturday for making a school threat the individual claimed was a “joke.” According to information shared by Fargo Police, officers responded after a parent reported their child saw a Snapchat video showing what appeared to be a firearm, with the poster indicating they would bring it to school. Police quickly identified the suspect and recovered an AR-style BB gun from their residence. The juvenile was arrested on terrorizing charges and taken to juvenile detention. Fargo Police say they have zero tolerance for school violence threats, saying such behavior causes fear and disrupts schools regardless of intent. Parents are urged to discuss with children the serious consequences of sharing threatening content online, even as jokes. Comments Leave a Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

Snapchat is taking another step into generative AI, with its new “Imagine” Lens, which enables users to recreate images from the Snap camera or their camera roll using text prompts. As you can see in this example, much like Meta’s “Imagine Yourself” AI option, or YouTube’s “Dream Screen,” or TikTok’s “AI Self” process, or even Snapchat’s own “Dreams” AI option, Snapchat’s new Imagine option will give you another way to use AI to re-contextualize your selfies, and/or other images. As explained by Snap: “ Today we’re introducing the Imagine Lens, our first Open Prompt Image Generation Lens. With the Imagine Lens, Snapchatters can create, edit, and recreate Snaps simply by entering their own prompts, then seamlessly share them with friends, post to their Story, or outside of Snapchat.” So it’s different from Snap’s Dreams Lens, which it launched back in 2023, in that this process enables you to enter in a description for your AI generation.
