Louisiana judge convicted of sex crimes against underage girls

A Louisiana judge has been convicted of several sex crimes involving three underage girls, including one who had been best friends with one of his daughters, according to a report.

A jury found St. John Parish Judge Jeff Perilloux, 53, guilty Saturday of three felony counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile, NOLA.com reported. Ad hoc Judge Dennis Waldron also found him guilty of a fourth count of misdemeanor sexual battery.

Two of the three felony charges stemmed from Perilloux’s actions against a 15-year-old girl who had been one of his daughters’ best friends, according to the news outlet.

She testified that the pervy jurist committed the crimes during two back massages, in May and June 2017. During one, he reached over and held a hand over her breast for about 20 seconds, she testified.

A 14-year-old girl told investigators that in June 2017, Perilloux rubbed sunscreen all over her body against her wishes after she had told him repeatedly that she could do it herself.

The girl told police that he had grabbed her shorts while he held a running water hose that he tried shoving down her shorts — though she testified that she couldn’t remember whether he’d actually touched her shorts.

The sexual battery conviction stems from the testimony of a woman who said she was 17 when Perilloux, standing in his underwear with no shirt in his kitchen, applied Vick’s VapoRub across her breasts after she had applied it to her throat, according to NOLA.com.

Texas police chief arrested, accused in the sexual abuse of a child

Fort Worth Texas police chief arrested, accused in the sexual abuse of a child

The police chief in Hamilton was arrested over the weekend and faces a charge of sexually abusing a child, according to an official with the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Anthony “Tony” Yocham was taken into custody Saturday by the Texas Rangers, and he was later released out of the Johnson County Jail in Cleburne after posting $500,000 bond. Hamilton is about 100 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

Yocham, who lost the Republican nomination for Somervell County sheriff, in April faces a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child, according to KXXV-TV.

Authorities did not provide any details on the alleged crime which was reported in Somervell County. The county is near the city of Hamilton, where Yocham is the police chief.

Detectives with the Somervell County Sheriff’s Office asked the Texas Rangers to investigate the allegation, said Texas DPS Lt. Lonny Haschel in a Monday email to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The Texas Rangers are heading the investigation, according to KWTX-TV

There are 10 members of the Hamilton Police Department including the chief of police, according to the Hamilton police department website.

Albuquerque Police Work Closely with Company Investigated for Child Pornography and Targeted by National Security Agency, Documents Show

The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) works closely with a data management company whose CEO was investigated by the New Mexico Office of Attorney General (NMOAG) in 2018 for allowing users on its network to store and distribute child pornography. This same CEO, whose company hosts APD’s connectabq.org website, was at the center of a massive National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence gathering operation in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to BlueLeaks documents leaked by the hacking group Anonymous in June 2020 and documents leaked by Edward Snowden in 2013.

As we reported previously, since 2006 APD has operated a retail and property crime intelligence gathering operation called ARAPA, in which private sector retailers upload information to a secure police website. APD has said publicly that this operation is small in scope and that access to the data is limited to a small number of local law enforcement agencies. But documents released as part of the BlueLeaks hack show that ARAPA is much larger than APD claims, collecting information unrelated to retail and property crime, and giving intelligence access to hundreds of law enforcement officers, including federal agents from various Department of Homeland Security directorates—including ICE—in an apparent violation of the City’s sanctuary policy. The documents show that APD used the database for political lobbying on at least three instances and used its private sector partners to avoid judicial review and community oversight in the acquisition of intelligence.

Based on a comparison of documents released as part of BlueLeaks with those leaked seven years earlier by Edward Snowden, the Albuquerque police upload data it collects as part of ARAPA on a website, connectabq.org, made by Netsential and hosted by a data center owned by Giganews, the company that the Attorney General investigated in 2018 for hosting child pornography.

Potential sign of alien life detected on inhospitable Venus

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists said on Monday they have detected in the harshly acidic clouds of Venus a gas called phosphine that indicates microbes may inhabit Earth's inhospitable neighbor, a tantalizing sign of potential life beyond Earth.

The researchers did not discover actual life forms, but noted that on Earth phosphine is produced by bacteria thriving in oxygen-starved environments. The international scientific team first spotted the phosphine using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii and confirmed it using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope in Chile.

"I was very surprised - stunned, in fact," said astronomer Jane Greaves of Cardiff University in Wales, lead author of the research published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

The existence of extraterrestrial life long has been one of the paramount questions of science. Scientists have used probes and telescopes to seek "biosignatures" - indirect signs of life - on other planets and moons in our solar system and beyond.

"With what we currently know of Venus, the most plausible explanation for phosphine, as fantastical as it might sound, is life," said Massachusetts Institute of Technology molecular astrophysicist and study co-author Clara Sousa-Silva.

"I should emphasize that life, as an explanation for our discovery, should be, as always, the last resort," Sousa-Silva added. "This is important because, if it is phosphine, and if it is life, it means that we are not alone. It also means that life itself must be very common, and there must be many other inhabited planets throughout our galaxy."

Phosphine - a phosphorus atom with three hydrogen atoms attached - is highly toxic to people.

Earth-based telescopes like those used in this research help scientists study the chemistry and other characteristics of celestial objects.

Lawsuit Accuses YouTube Of Violating Childrens' Privacy

YouTube is facing a ground-breaking class action lawsuit in the UK for allegedly breaching millions of under-13s' privacy and data rights.

A claim lodged in the UK high court accuses parent company Google of harvesting children’s data without gaining prior parental consent.

Its activities constitute major breaches of privacy and data rules, including the UK Data Protection Act and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), claims digital researcher and father Duncan McCann, who is bringing the case.

"My kids love YouTube, and I want them to be able to use it. But YouTube needs to comply with the law. It isn’t ‘free’ – our kids are paying for it with their attention and private data," he says.

"Like many parents, I am conscious of what’s happening with my kids’ data online, but even so it’s just impossible to combat Google’s lure and influence, which comes from its surveillance power. There’s a massive power imbalance between us and them, and it needs to be fixed."

While the minimum age for YouTube is 13, McCann claims that large amounts of content are clearly aimed at small children, including nursery programmes, toy reviews, cartoons, unboxing videos and other child-specific activities.
