Prosecutor says it will take days to decide whether to charge homeowner in house cleaner’s death

LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — A decision on whether to file charges against an Indiana homeowner suspected of killing of a Guatemalan house cleaner after she mistakenly went to the wrong address may not come for days, prosecutors say. Investigators turned over their findings in Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez’s death to Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood on Friday. Eastwood said in a news release that his review will take “several days.” He promised to announce his decision publicly but said he may not do so until the end of this week or early next week. “Our hearts remain with Mrs. Rios Perez de Velasquez’s loved ones,” Eastwood said in the release. “Justice requires patience, and we ask for the community’s understanding as we work diligently to reach the right decision under Indiana law.” The woman’s family and supporters gathered on the steps of Eastwood’s office on Monday with a photo of her and signs that read “Justice for Maria.” “Although we’re immigrants, we still have rights,” Rios Perez De Velasquez’s husband, Mauricio Velasquez, said in Spanish. “We’re not animals. We’re people just like everyone else. We have blood, too. All I’m asking for is justice.” Authorities have said the couple was

Ex boss at Coventry NHS trust used Snapchat to lure and rape underage girls

A former boss at Coventry's main hospital trust used Snapchat to lure and rape underage girls. Paul Lipscombe, who a court was told worked at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust as a director involved in improving patient waiting time, admitted 34 offences. The offences include a string of rapes and other sex offences against girls aged from 12 to 15. LeicesterLive reported that the 51-year-old's crimes emerged after he ran off with a 15-year-old girl. Leicester Crown Court heard that Lipscombe picked the teen, who has not been identified, from her home in Lincolnshire and took her to a hotel in Birstall, near Leicester, where they had sex. The girl, following a script Lipscombe had given her, had called Lincolnshire Police to claim she had run away from home to stay with a friend and did not want to be found.

One month until the social media ban and tech giants still can’t answer these questions

December 10 is D-Day for the anxious generation, when those who have never had to queue for the family landline may have no choice but to start a single file down the hallway. We’re joking, of course. The eSafety Commissioner is not banning smartphones as a whole for under-16s, and Meta’s Messenger and WhatsApp are not on the list of age-restricted platforms (controversially, neither is Discord, Twitch, or Roblox). What will life look like for under-16s waking up on December 10? Social media providers subject to the eSafety Commissioner’s new minimum age requirement have not been forthcoming with logistical information. Credit: Nathan Perri What we do know is that Google’s YouTube, Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and Threads, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) are subject to it. But one month out from the ban taking effect, we don’t know much else. Cloak-and-dagger is not an uncommon modus operandi for social media providers, and, although eSafety has emphasised the need for transparency, this is no different. What will life actually look like for under-16s when they wake up on December 10? How will age verification actually work? Platforms are expected to take “reasonable steps” to prevent those under 16 in

Kuwait Nabs Suspect Promoting Online Gambling via Snapchat | arabtimes

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 7: In a new security accomplishment added to the ongoing successes of Kuwait’s Criminal Security Sector, the Cybercrime Department has arrested an individual involved in promoting and participating in illegal online gambling activities through the social media platform Snapchat. According to the department, the arrest followed a period of targeted monitoring and continuous surveillance of a suspicious Snapchat account. The account owner had been promoting external gambling websites and collecting money from followers through methods that violate Kuwaiti law. Investigations revealed that the suspect used Snapchat to create the illusion of lucrative financial gains, encouraging followers to transfer money through banking applications.

Denmark to ban social media for children under 15 – DW

The Danish government has reached an agreement to implement a minimum age requirement of 15 years old on certain social media platforms, it announced on Friday. The move follows Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's call for restrictions on children's use of social media in her opening speech to Parliament last month, due to concerns over youth mental health. A majority of parties in parliament said they would support the plan. "As one of the first countries in the EU, Denmark is now taking a groundbreaking step towards introducing age limits on social media," said the country's digitalization ministry in a statement. "This is done to protect children and young people in the digital world." "As a starting point, children under the age of 15 should not have access to platforms that may expose them to harmful content or harmful features," the statement said. Behind the growing movement for a phone-free childhood To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The ministry did not specify which social media platforms are affected or how the ban will be enforced. However, exceptions can be made if parents believe their child should have access to social
