FBI looking for victims of child pornography ring allegedly run by NY man
Federal investigators are asking for help identifying dozens of victims of a child pornography ring allegedly run by a Westchester County man.
The FBI arrested Jose Zafra, 19, of Port Chester last month and charged him with production of child sexual abuse material.
Zafra allegedly posed as a teenager on Snapchat to extort pornographic photos from children as young as a 9-year-old girl.
Known victims were from Florida, Georgia and Texas; agents believe there may be at least 25 victims in total, according to to a criminal complaint.
The feds say he used flattery, lies and aliases such as “Definitely jose,” “Bigd–kdaddy,” “Jose.zafra” and “Opens–t” to coerce the children into creating and sending him videos and images.
Meanwhile, the FBI continues to investigate a similar case involving an NYPD officer.
Carmine Simpson, 26, was arrested last week for allegedly soliciting X-rated photos and videos from dozens of underage girls.
The East New York cop posed as a teenager on Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, Discord and FaceTime to have sexually graphic conversations with 46 children between the ages of 13 and 17, prosecutors said.
Simpson allegedly used a filter to make himself look younger and utilized pseudonyms such as “BINGIEBONGIE,” “thelifeofchrist88,” “LifeOfChrist69” and “DACRYPHILIC” when communicating with his victims, according to a criminal complaint.

Arguments are set to begin Tuesday in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump on allegations that he incited the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol. It appears unlikely that he'll be convicted. Five key questions about what to expect in the case.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Arguments begin Tuesday in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump on allegations that he incited the violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
A look at five key questions about what to expect when senators hear the case against the former president in the very chamber that was besieged by insurrectionists :
_____
WILL TRUMP BE CONVICTED?
It’s unlikely. While many Republicans were harshly critical of Trump for telling supporters to “fight like hell” and go to the Capitol, their criticism has since softened.

The shift was evident during a Jan. 26 test vote. Only five Republican senators voted against a motion that was aimed at dismissing the trial.
It will take a two-thirds vote of the 100-member Senate to convict Trump of the impeachment charge, which is “incitement of insurrection.” If all 50 Democrats voted to convict him, 17 Republicans would have to join them to reach that threshold.
Most Republicans have avoided defending Trump’s actions the day of the riot. Instead, lawmakers have argued that the trial is unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in office. Democrats and many legal scholars disagree.
After the January test vote, many Republicans indicated Trump’s acquittal was a foregone conclusion.
“Do the math,” said Maine Sen. Susan Collins, one of the five Republicans who voted to move forward with the trial. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he thought the vote was a “floor not a ceiling” of Republican support to acquit.
Still, some Republicans said they were waiting to hear the arguments at trial. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman voted for the effort to dismiss, but said that constitutionality “is a totally different issue” than whether Trump is guilty of incitement.

HOW DO TRUMP’S LAWYERS MOUNT A DEFENSE WITHOUT ANGERING THE SENATE?
It’s a tough needle to thread. Trump’s team is likely to try and remove the emotion from the case and focus on legal and practical arguments against conviction.
In their first filing for the trial, his lawyers made clear that they will challenge the constitutionality of the trial now that Trump has left the White House. That could give an out to Republican senators who are inclined to acquit the former president without condoning his behavior.
The defense could also argue the trial is pointless with Trump no longer president, because removal from office is the automatic punishment for an impeachment conviction. Democrats note that after a conviction, the Senate also could bar Trump from holding public office in the future.
WHAT HAPPENS IF TRUMP’S ACQUITTED?
The likelihood of Trump’s acquittal worries some senators, who fear the consequences for the country. Some have floated the possibility of censuring Trump after the trial to ensure that he is punished in some way for the riot.
But there also may be another way for Congress to bar Trump from holding future office.
In an opinion piece published last month in The Washington Post, Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman and Indiana University law professor Gerard Magliocca suggested Congress could turn to a provision of the 14th Amendment that is aimed at preventing people from holding federal office if they are deemed to have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution.
The professors wrote that if a majority vote of both houses agree that Trump engaged in an act of “insurrection or rebellion,” then he would be barred from running for the White House again. Only a two-thirds vote of each chamber of Congress in the future could undo that result.
