By Staff Reporter Newcastle, NSW — 28 November 2025 A 37-year-old Australian teacher, Karly Rae, has dramatically changed her plea to guilty in Newcastle District Court, admitting to sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy and related child exploitation offences. Rae pleaded guilty on Thursday to four charges: Sexual intercourse with a child under 16 Possession of child abuse material Grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity Attempting to pervert the course of justice The offences took place in Newcastle, 160 km north of Sydney, in October 2024. Court documents show the teacher used Snapchat and Instagram to contact the teenager. Messages read to the court included: “Hey, sorry for removing you on Snap. I found it too tempting for now.” Suggesting “one last rendezvous before school goes back” and adding, “I’ll bring my toy.” The boy’s cousin discovered the Instagram conversations and told the victim’s parents, who immediately contacted police. Upon arrest, Rae claimed she believed the 15-year-old was of legal age and finishing school. Originally set down for trial in August 2026, the matter was fast-tracked after Rae’s lawyer argued her recent motherhood required the case to be dealt with as a priority. Rae was granted bail in June 2025

Penta has finally opened up about the real reason he and Rey Fénix walked away from AEW and took the leap to WWE — and it wasn’t about money, fame, or frustration. It was something much deeper. During an appearance on Mafufas Chronicles, Penta explained that after five years in AEW, both he and his brother felt they had reached a point where they were fully in control of their characters, comfortable backstage, and in a stable position. But that comfort started to feel like a limitation. They wanted something that would push them creatively and competitively in a way AEW no longer could. Penta explained that the decision wasn’t simple, even though outsiders assumed WWE was the obvious next step. “We spent five years there, which I’m grateful for. But eventually, I was fully Penta, my brother was fully Rey Fénix, and the opportunity came for me to go to WWE. And believe me — people say, ‘Bro, what were you waiting for? Go!’ But no, man. It was a very hard decision. A really tough one, because you’re basically going in blind. You’re taking a chance. You’re leaving your comfort zone — where you already know how things

Last Updated: November 30, 2025, 07:46 IST DoT has directed OTT platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Signal and others to implement mandatory SIM binding for user accounts DoT Mandates SIM Binding The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has directed popular over-the-top (OTT) messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Signal and others to implement mandatory SIM binding for user accounts, a move aimed at curbing the surge in online fraud and digital arrests, the Economic Times (ET) reported. Under the directive issued on November 28, OTT platforms have been given a 90-day deadline to ensure that their apps remain linked to the active SIM number present in the user’s device. Failure to comply could invite penal action under existing telecom cybersecurity regulations, according to ET. Recommended Stories The new rules also mandate that web and desktop versions of these apps must log users out every six hours, requiring fresh authentication through QR code pairing. The DoT said this step is necessary to prevent misuse of messaging platforms on devices where no SIM is present — a loophole that has been exploited for cross-border cybercrime. According to ET, the decision follows nearly a year of consultations between DoT officials and OTT

Ric Flair claims Hulk Hogan didn’t just die from health complications — he says Hogan resorted to street drugs after doctors refused to prescribe him painkillers. Speaking on the Double3 Coverage podcast, Flair dropped a shocking detail while discussing Hogan’s final days. According to him, Hogan was in brutal shape from years of surgeries and relied heavily on pain meds until he couldn’t get them anymore. “I talked to him the day before he died. I shouldn’t say this, but what killed him was street drugs.” Flair then laid out the physical toll Hogan had suffered — ten back surgeries, two knee replacements, two hip replacements, and a neck surgery that led to a serious infection. When his doctors finally said no more to prescriptions, Flair says Hogan looked elsewhere. “When the doctor wouldn’t prescribe anymore — he was in so much pain. Then he had a neck surgery and got infected. So back in the hospital… imagine 10 back surgeries, two knees, two hips, all this. And then when the doctor would not prescribe any more pain medicine — they just couldn’t do it, all due conscience, right? Yeah. So they went and got the drugs off the street.

(KFGO/WCCO) – Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt links vaping and social media to a surge in juvenile crime. Sheriff Witt expressed concern over youth posing with weapons on platforms like Snapchat and urged parents to monitor their children’s online activity. She told WCCO i t ‘is not snitching, it’s saving lives.’ “You know, guns are still a thing, as I said before, with kids looking for guns in these cars,” the sheriff explains. “Well, Snapchat has been quite the frequent tool that’s been used where you have kids that are posing on Snapchat with guns.” Witt is calling for reinstating juvenile centers amid what has been an uptick in youth crime across the Twin Cities. She argues that the closure of facilities like Totem Town has created a “revolving door” of crime, and that troubled youth need accountability and appropriate rehabilitative resources. “I do think they need to bring those places back,” Witt explained. “I do think that they need to have appropriate program and rehabilitative services. Don’t look at it as
