Magee contacted the 'child' through Snapchat (Image: PA) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. A PRESTONPANS man has been caught sending sexual messages to a person he believed to be an underage child. Ryan Magee made contact with who he thought was a child called Liv on the Snapchat app and began sending her the messages. But the 20-year-old was in fact in contact with an undercover police officer who had set up the profile in a bid to catch online child sex predators. Magee was traced to his home on the town’s North Grange Road and subsequently arrested and charged. He appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month, where he pleaded guilty to an amended charge of sending sexual written communications to a person he believed to be a child aged between 13 and 16 on December 13 last year. The court heard that Magee used Snapchat to contact women for sexual gratification and, even though he knew the age of the complainer, he had continued to engage with her. He was

Full story The mother of a Missouri high school student filed a lawsuit against the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III School District, claiming the school violated her son’s First Amendment rights after suspending him over a Snapchat post made off campus. Wyatt Grunden, 14, was suspended for three days after posting an image on Snapchat that showed Dr. Pepper cans glued together to resemble an AK-47. The post also featured a song titled “AK-47” added through the app’s music feature. According to the lawsuit, the district searched Wyatt upon his return to school despite admitting it found no credible evidence of a threat. “They told me it was cyberbullying and threatening the school,” his mother, Riley Grunden, said. “That would be on his record.” Legal team argues First Amendment rights The lawsuit, filed by the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute’s American Freedom Network, argues that Wyatt’s off-campus speech is protected under the U.S. Constitution. It claims the district overstepped its authority by disciplining a student for private, non-school-related social media activity. “If he had sent out a threat or any kind of message with that photo, that would be different,” Riley Grunden said. “But he didn’t. We don’t just let him do whatever

The threats, which were made via Snapchat, claimed that bombs would be placed throughout the school and that there would be a school shooting.

The girl, whose identity is not being released due to her age, faces charges of making a terrorist threat and aggravated harassment. She is expected to appear at Albany County Probation at a later date, as reported by the City School District of Albany. The investigation is ongoing, with similar threats being investigated at KIPP Albany Community Charter School and Hackett Middle School. The police department, in collaboration with school security staff, is working to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Anthony Sheppard from Derby was originally given a three-year community order for encouraging an eight-year-old girl to send him naked pictures on Snapchat. Author: Claire Emms Published 3 hours ago A former soldier will be jailed after the Court of Appeal increased his sentence for encouraging an eight-year-old girl to send him naked pictures on Snapchat. Anthony Sheppard, 61, was originally given a three-year community order after he pleaded guilty at Derby Magistrates' Court in December last year. He had been charged with inciting a child into sexual activity, sexual communication with a child and possession of extreme pornography. The sentence was referred to the Court of Appeal in London by the Solicitor General where the child's lawyer, Will Martin, told a hearing on Wednesday that it was "unduly lenient". He said: "The overall sentence imposed simply did not reflect the offending." The mother of the girl, referred to as C, described being "shocked and sickened" after discovering Sheppard's messages on her daughter's iPod while C was at school, the court heard. When the police arrested Sheppard, they found extreme pornography on his phone in addition to the Snapchat history. The girl broke down in tears when her mother asked

Snap Inc. has filed a formal response to the claims made in a Snapchat fentanyl overdose deaths lawsuit brought by the parents of children who tragically died from fentanyl-laced pills acquired through the social media platform. In its response, the company contests the allegations that Snapchat’s features promote or facilitate the sale of counterfeit drugs, particularly to minors and young adults. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, includes claims from Rhonda Burris and numerous relatives of 27 deceased users. The plaintiffs allege that Snapchat’s app features encourage, advertise, and willfully ignore the illicit drug sales that have contributed to the overdose deaths of their loved ones. Snap Inc. Challenges the Allegations In its filing, Snap Inc. strongly denies these accusations, asserting that many of the decedents had a history of drug use, were involved in drug dealing, or had obtained drugs through other channels. Snap’s legal team pointed out that, based on initial evidence, at least 18 of the 27 deceased individuals had been involved in drug dealing. Furthermore, the company stated that nearly all of the deceased had prior histories of drug use known to their families. “Snap raises these facts not to diminish the tragic circumstances

This morning’s consumer-price index dropped with a sigh of economic relief — and a dash of anxiety. Prices rose 2.3 percent in April compared to a year ago, according to the Department of Labor. Economists were predicting prices to rise by 2.4 percent.  April's reading is great news for grocery shoppers: it's the lowest price hike reading for US consumers since 2021.  The news sent US stock index futures higher on Tuesday, as investors increased expectations that the Federal Reserve was on track to lower borrowing costs this year.  Wall Street's moves are following a record-setting trading day. Minutes after the inflation report hit the wires, Dow futures were down 0.28 percent, S&P 500 futures rose 0.13 percent, and Nasdaq futures were up 0.33 percent. 'The introduction of sweeping new tariffs on imports into the US roiled markets in April,' Nicholas Hyett, an investment manager at Wealth Club, said. 'That’s a relief for investors and borrowers – who have feared that tariffs could cause a spike in prices preventing the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates to support the economy.'  But dig a little deeper, and the economic picture gets murkier. Month-over-month, prices ticked up 0.2 percent, both for the overall index
