A Facebook post in which a woman falsely claimed to have been the victim of an Asian grooming gang ripped a community apart.
Eleanor Williams, 22, was sentenced to eight & a half years in prison on Tuesday after she made a series of false rape allegations.
In May 2020, she posted images of herself with a swollen eye on Facebook & claimed she had been beaten, raped & trafficked by Asian men.
However, a court later heard she had caused the injuries to herself using a hammer.
Her post sparked outrage in her home town of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, with public demonstrations targeting the local newspaper, the Asian community & police.
One restaurant had its windows smashed & fire alarms had to be installed at vulnerable premises, while journalists were threatened & 1 moved out of her home.
Racist graffiti was sprayed on walls, the local newspaper was boycotted & police officers were threatened.
During sentencing remarks on Tuesday which were broadcast live from Preston Crown Court, Honorary Recorder of Preston Judge Robert Altham said Williams had shown "no significant signs of remorse."
The Facebook post was shared more than 100,000 times, but the judge described her allegations as "complete fiction."
At the time she made her Facebook post, Williams was already on bail having been charged with 7 counts of perverting the course of justice.
MADISON COUNTY, Ill. (KTVI) — An autopsy released last week explains what happened to a Troy, Illinois, man who was found deceased in his home months after being reported missing.
Richard Maedge died by suicide, according to a report from Madison County Coroner Steve Nonn that was released Thursday.
Maedge’s wife, Jennifer, reported him missing on the afternoon of April 27, 2022. She told Troy police she last spoke with him the day before. Richard Maedge called his wife & said he was leaving work early. When his wife arrived home, Richard was gone, but his car was parked outside & his wallet & keys were left behind.
Troy police initially searched the home but found no trace of him.
Kelly Rogers, the county’s chief deputy coroner, said police described the residence as a “hoarder home.” While searching the house, police noticed a “sewer-like” odor inside the residence.
Jennifer Maedge called the police again sometime later to report an odor. Troy police searched the home a 2nd time & did not find any remains.
The family contacted a plumber, who described the odor inside the house as sewer gas, Rogers said. The plumber placed a cap on 1 of the sewer pipes in the basement, which seemed to eliminate the odor at the residence.
Jennifer found her husband’s body on Dec. 11, 2022, nearly 8 months after his disappearance. She told police she’d gone to a concealed closet area to retrieve Christmas decorations. Richard’s body was inside that storage space.
Rogers explained that Maedge’s body had advanced beyond decomposition & was in a mummified state. Rogers said that a mummified body may not have a strong odor, which would explain why it took so long for Richard to be found.
The autopsy showed no further injuries & no foul play was involved in in his death.
ENOCH, Utah (KUTV) — Eight people were found dead inside an Iron County home Wednesday.
Police were called to the area in Enoch in reference to a welfare check.
When officers arrived, they checked inside the residence & found 3 adults & 5 minors deceased inside the home.
"Each appeared to have sustained gunshot wounds," an Enoch City press release stated.
Police said there was no threat to the public & they do not believe there were any suspects at large.
The incident remained under investigation.
Iron County School District released an update that 5 of the victims were students within the district. Additional details including identities or ages of the victims were not released.
Rob Dotson, city manager for Enoch City said they did not know why the tragic incident occurred but the community, "is feeling remorse, feeling pain, they're friends & family members & neighbors who are hurting because of this incident."
Dotson said it was hard to describe in words the emotions that were going through the people that live in the area.
"We all know this family. Many of us have served with them in church & community & gone to school with these individuals & so this community at this time is hurting; they're feeling loss, they're feeling pain, they have a lot of questions," Dotson said.
CNN— 8 teenage girls were charged with murder Tuesday in the stabbing death of a 59-year-old Toronto man in what police are calling a “swarming” attack.
The man was found stabbed Sunday shortly after 12 a.m., following a report of an assault. The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. Authorities did not release the man’s name pending family notification.
The 8 girls were found shortly after the attack & taken into custody & charged with second-degree murder, Detective Sgt. Terry Browne of the Toronto Police Service Homicide Unit said.
3 of the girls are 13, 3 of them are 14, & 2 of them are 16, according to a news release from the Toronto Police Service.
The group of teenagers “met each other through social media. They come from varying parts of the city.”
“We don’t know how or why they met on that evening & why that destination was downtown Toronto,” Browne said, adding police believe the group may have been involved in an “altercation” earlier in the evening before the stabbing.
Browne said he would not call the group of girls a “gang” but noted they participated in a behavior known as “swarming,” in which multiple attackers target a victim simultaneously. A number of weapons were also found with the girls.
3 of the girls have had “prior contact” with police, Browne said.
WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man convicted of shooting 5 of 8 family members killed in 2016 testified against his older brother, George Wagner IV, in exchange for being spared the death penalty.
George faces the death penalty if he’s convicted in the slayings of the Rhoden family.
Jake & George’s mother, Angela Wagner, also has pleaded guilty to helping plan the slayings & is expected to testify. Jake & George’s father, George “Billy” Wagner III, has pleaded not guilty.
The 2 families had been close for years, but the Wagners became obsessed with gaining control over the child that Jake Wagner had with Hanna Rhoden, 19.
Hanna vowed in a Facebook message sent 4 months before the massacre that “they will have to kill me first.”
Jake Wagner testified that Hanna's comment was his “tipping point” when he decided she had to die.
George Wagner was with his brother & his father when they drove to 3 separate locations where all 8 victims were killed, went inside with the pair & helped his brother move 2 of the bodies.
Those killed were 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his ex-wife, 37-year-old Dana Rhoden; their 3 children, 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 16-year-old Christopher Jr. & Hanna; Clarence Rhoden’s fiancee, 20-year-old Hannah Gilley; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden; & a cousin, 38-year-old Gary Rhoden.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. (USA Today) – A man who police say shot & killed his 3 daughters and their chaperone Monday at a church in Sacramento County, California, was out on bail at the time of the shooting, according to information released Tuesday.
David Mora, 39, was arrested last week on several charges, including assaulting a police officer. Mora was under a domestic violence restraining order & not supposed to have a gun under California law.
Mora fatally shot his daughters, aged 9, 10 & 13 Monday evening, officials said. Authorities said he also killed 59-year-old Nathaniel Kong, who was the chaperone for the visitation.
The shooting was a "domestic violence incident," according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
Business records show Kong had been an executive in the church. He also served Mora with a restraining order in May 2021, which stipulated the father only have supervised visits with his daughters for up to 4 hours per week with a mutually agreed-upon chaperone. Mora also was required to take anger management courses.
Mora, who also was identified as David Fidel Mora Rojas in court papers, was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation last April 17. Mora's estranged girlfriend & mother of the 3 girls filed the domestic violence restraining order against him in April 2021.
The order says the mother was afraid for her life & that Mora had threatened to kill her if he caught her cheating.
Only days before shooting, Mora was arrested in Merced County, California on charges of resisting arrest, battery on a police officer & driving under the influence after he allegedly assaulted a California Highway Patrol officer.

THIBODAUX, La. (WJW)– Former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Greg Robinson was arrested on multiple drug charges following a traffic stop in Louisiana on Monday.
Thibodaux police pulled over Robinson’s Cadillac Escalade for a traffic violation. That’s when the K-9 alerted officers to the smell of narcotics in the SUV. Police said they found cocaine, crack cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, Xanax and marijuana.
Later, the police department’s narcotics division searched Robinson’s properties. They discovered drugs worth about $120,810, according to Thibodaux police.
Robinson was taken to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex, where he remains on a $315,000.00 bond.
Here’s a list of what was seized:
*Approximately 3.16 pounds of suspected crystal methamphetamine *Approximately 2.22 pounds of suspected cocaine *Approximately 38.89 pounds of suspected marijuana *Approximately 4 grams of crack cocaine *Approximately 227 doses of suspected hydrocodone *Approximately 48 doses of suspected oxycodone *Approximately 18 doses of alprazolam *A large assortment of drug trafficking and packaging equipment/paraphernalia *Firearm magazines and ammunition *A small amount of U.S. currency

In February 2020, he was arrested in Texas with 157 pounds of marijuana.
The United States is discussing the deployment of American military forces to Eastern Europe with its NATO allies, a senior administration official said Monday, as President Joe Biden weighs options for responding to Russian threats against Ukraine.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has placed 8,500 troops on “heightened alert” to assist with the defense of NATO allies, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said during a news briefing Monday. He said no deployment orders have been given.
"I want to reinforce that as of now, the decision has been made to put these units on higher alert and higher alert only," said Kirby. "No decisions have been made to deploy forces from the United States at this time."
With Moscow massing more than 100,000 troops at its neighbor's border and no diplomatic breakthrough in sight, the West is stepping up its response amid mounting fears an invasion could be imminent.
Conversations are underway with NATO countries that could receive U.S. military forces as part of a plan to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression, the official said.
NATO said Monday that it was sending ships and fighter jets to Eastern Europe and that Washington “has also made clear that it is considering increasing its military presence in the eastern part of the Alliance.”
Biden participated in a roughly 90-minute video conference with European leaders Monday afternoon to discuss Russia’s military buildup on Ukraine’s borders, the White House said. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Polish President Andrzej Duda, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and other leaders participated in the call.
Following the video conference, Biden told reporters it was a "very, very, very good meeting," adding that there was "total unanimity with all the European leaders." The president said he would have more to say on the issue later.
In a statement, the White House said Biden and European leaders "reiterated their continued concern about the Russian military build-up on Ukraine’s borders and expressed their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity."
The White House said the leaders "underscored their shared desire for a diplomatic resolution" and also discussed "their joint efforts to deter further Russian aggression against Ukraine."
Biden was briefed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday about U.S. options for responding if Russia invades Ukraine, as well as options for U.S. military movements in advance of an invasion, according to a defense official and a senior administration official.
Among the options presented for the U.S. military in advance of an invasion were bomber flights over the region, ship visits into the Black Sea and the moving of troops and some equipment from other parts of Europe into Poland, Romania and other countries neighboring Ukraine.
The first night of Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival ended in tragedy.
50,000 fans were packed into NRG Park to see performances by Master P, Don Toliver, Metro Boomin, Lil Baby, SZA and more.
When event organizer and headliner, Travis Scott, hit the stage the crowd surged forward, leaving many fans unable to breathe.
Some passed out and were trampled. A total of eight people were killed, including a 10-year old child, and many more injured.
Paramedics worked to revive unconscious concert goers. Some of whom had gone into cardiac arrest.
According to TMZ, something nefarious may contributed to or been the cause of the tragedy.
"A source connected to Astroworld tells TMZ, someone in the crowd went crazy and began injecting people with some sort of drug, which caused panic and then a surge. The source says authorities are trying to determine if those who went into cardiac arrest were the ones injected. We're told one of those who died is a 10-year-old. The source says it appears to be a targeted attack. We have not confirmed this report, but the source is a key person involved in the festival."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their friends and family.
Travis Scott is stepping up to help the families of those who died at Astroworld Fest -- offering to pay funeral costs & extending even more help for those affected.
Travis just announced he'll be fully covering any and all funeral costs that might come about for the families of the 8 people who passed away at the concert this weekend.
We're told this is going to be coming from Travis' own pocket & that there'll be no questions asked as it pertains to those 8 individuals & what their families might need to properly lay their loved ones to rest.
There's more ... Travis is also going to be partnering with BetterHelp -- a network of mental health professionals -- to offer mental health services, for free, to anyone who attended Astroworld Fest who may need to talk through their trauma.
The BetterHelp resources will amount to one-on-one virtual therapy sessions with trained, licensed professionals working with the org. On top of this, BetterHelp will also team up with the National Alliance of Mental Illness for people who may need more help than just virtual & there's going be a hotline set up to that end, which Travis is also overseeing.
Unclear how exactly Trav & co. will vet claims for the service, but we imagine it's going to be a system that vets people ... to make sure they were, in fact, in attendance Friday.
Of course, that may mean there are thousands of people who take him up on it -- as there were countless folks in the crowd that night who might've been affected ... and if that happens, it probably won't be a cheap endeavor to ensure all those folks are cared for.
It's certainly a nice gesture & just one step of Travis trying to do right by his fans. Obviously, there's a lot more that may have to be done -- but at least he's starting here.
As we reported ... in addition to those who died, dozens more were injured to varying degrees & hospitalized & some of those people have already started to file lawsuits against Travis & Live Nation.
The legal floodgates are starting to open -- Travis Scott & Live Nation have just been sued by somebody alleging they were injured during Astroworld ... the first claim of what may prove to be many more to come.
A guy named Manuel Souza already lawyered up & reportedly filed suit Saturday in Harris County District Court -- claiming he was hurt during the madness that unfolded & alleging both negligence & gross negligence on behalf of Trav, LN & others he lists as defendants.
In his docs, obtained by Billboard, Souza says the tragedy was "predictable & preventable" -- due, in part, to what he characterizes as warning signs earlier in the day that he says should've been red flags to festival organizers ... but were allegedly ignored.
Souza describes how people first stampeded their way into NRG Park when things were first opening up ... with folks allegedly climbing over security gates & trampling over one another. Despite this, Souza claims nothing was done to further address or curtail things.
He goes on to allege that concert organizers made a conscious effort to let the show go on, despite clear evidence all around them that people were in serious distress & suffering "serious obvious injury." Souza believes they purposely chose this route, claiming they were well aware of the rising risk that was escalating by the minute during the night.
As for why Souza thinks Travis is at fault here ... it's not entirely clear what he's claiming Trav did or didn't do during the show that led to what Souza believes was avoidable. He does cite Travis' history of allegedly encouraging violence among fans at past concerts of his, which Souza says has led to people getting hurt. But beyond that ... it doesn't appear he connects specific dots in this instance as to why TS, specifically, is to blame.
It's also not entirely clear what injuries Souza is claiming were inflected against himself, but he does repeatedly cite the 8 dead & dozens of others who were also hurt ... while going on to claim that profit was chosen over the safety and well-being of concertgoers.
Souza is suing for at least a million dollars in damages.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Eight people died Friday night and hundreds of others were injured during the opening night of a popular weekend music festival at NRG Park.
It happened at the third-annual Astroworld Festival, a sold-out concert event featuring multiple acts.
The worst of the incident began around 9:15 p.m. when the crowd of approximately 50,000 concert-goers began to move toward the front of the stage, according to Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña.
The organizers, rapper Travis Scott & LiveNation, stopped the show when it was apparent that multiple people were hurt.
"Once we started having the mass casualty incident, they were starting CPR on several people, and it happened all at once," HPD Executive Assistant Chief Larry Satterwhite said. "It seemed like it happened over the course of just a few minutes. Suddenly, we had several people down on the ground experiencing some type of cardiac arrest or some type of medical episode."
Medical transports were already at the park for the multi-day festival, but staff was quickly overwhelmed with injured people.
Investigators were dispatched to hospitals Saturday morning in an attempt to identify the victims. The Harris County Medical Examiner's Office will determine how the eight people died.
"There are a lot of rumors going around," Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.
