H. RES. 635

 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

 

September 10, 2021

 

Mr. Weber of Texas (for himself, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Hice of Georgia) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

 

RESOLUTION

 

Impeaching Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

That Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:

Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., President of the United States, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

Article I

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives shall have the sole Power of Impeachment and that the President shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. In his conduct of the office of the President of the United Statesโ€”and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executedโ€”Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the Presidency, in that:

 

Using the powers of his high office, President Biden colluded with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on a phone call on July 23, 2021, to mislead the American people and our Nationโ€™s allies about the status of the war in Afghanistan. In the transcript of the call, he explicitly stated, โ€ฆ as you know and I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things arenโ€™t going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban. And thereโ€™s a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture..

 

His action to falsely portray the progress in the fight against the Taliban directly undermined our national security, the safety of our men and women in uniform, our allies, and the Afghan people. Furthermore, this false narrative led to the hasty and poorly planned withdrawal of United States forces from Afghanistan that resulted in the death of 13 servicemembers and wounding 18 serยญviceยญmemยญbers in the attack at the Kabul airport on August 26, 2021, and the stranding of an estimated 100โ€“200 Americans in the Taliban-controlled country.

 

In all of this, President Biden abused the powers of the Presidency by perpetuating a false perception that the Afghan security forces were winning the war against the Taliban in an effort to manipulate the American people to support his foreign policy objectives and raise his political capital.

 

Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he is a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

H. RES. 608

 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

 

August 27, 2021

 

Mr. Norman (for himself and Mr. Harris) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

 

RESOLUTION

 

Impeaching Antony John Blinken, Secretary of State, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

That Antony John Blinken, Secretary of State, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:

 

Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Antony John Blinken, Secretary of State, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

Article I

Antony John Blinken, in his conduct while Secretary of State, engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an Officer of the United States, as follows:

 

Secretary Blinken took an oath to defend and secure our country and uphold the Constitution when he was sworn in as Secretary of State on January 26, 2021. Article II of the United States Constitution tasks the executive branch with ensuring the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President are faithfully executed.

 

Secretary Blinken has failed to faithfully uphold his oath and has instead presided over a reckless abandonment of our Nationโ€™s interests, security, and values in his role in the withdrawal of American forces and diplomatic assets from Afghanistan.

 

On April 14, 2021, President Biden announced that all United States troops will begin withdrawing from Afghanistan starting May 1, 2021, and that the removal of troops would be completed by September 11, 2021.

 

On April 24, 2021, Pentagon officials, national security advisers, and Secretary Blinken, in a meeting with President Biden at the White House, indicated their belief that they could withdraw the remaining 3,500 American troops from Afghanistan by July 4, 2021.

 

During this same meeting, it was reported that the State Department articulated its ability and intention to keep the American Embassy in Kabul open and operational with more than 1,400 Americans remaining in country.

 

On April 27, 2021, in apparent acknowledgment of the dangers posed by a resurgent Taliban, the American Embassy in Kabul ordered nearly 3,000 members of its staff to depart.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Talibanโ€”in furtherance of its speedy and sweeping campaign to recapture control of much of Afghanistanโ€”captured the Nerkh district immediately adjacent to Kabul.

 

On May 15, 2021, Embassy officials sent an urgent warning to remaining Americans in the country that the U.S. Embassy strongly suggests that U.S. citizens make plans to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible..

 

On July 2, 2021, the American military vacated Bagram Air Baseโ€”the central United States military post in the country, including the prison on site housing over 5,000 Taliban and suspected terrorist prisoners. The hasty evacuation left these prisoners as well as significant stockpiles of American weapons and equipment unguarded resulting in the eventual liberation of prisoners and seizure of weapons and equipment by Taliban forces.

 

On July 8, 2021, President Biden stated thereโ€™s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable..

 

On August 12, 2021, State Department spokesman, Ned Price, serving under the authority of Secretary Blinken stated The embassy remains open, and we plan to continue our diplomatic work in Afghanistan.. Ross Wilson, the acting United States ambassador to Afghanistan who was on the call, said the staff still needed 72 hours to leave.

 

On August 15, 2021, the American Flag at the United States Embassy in Kabul was taken down.

 

On August 15, 2021, Kabul and the Green Zoneโ€”the heart of the American diplomatic presence in Afghanistanโ€”was recaptured by the Taliban and remains under its control.

 

On August 25, 2021, American citizens were still attempting to navigate through Taliban blockades, and widespread chaos on the streets of Kabul to Hamid Karzai International Airport in order to leave Afghanistan.

 

On August 26, 2021, Secretary Blinkenโ€™s failure to execute his duties to safely and efficiently evacuate of all United States government personnel, dependents, and private United States citizens when their lives are in danger directly gave rise to a dangerous scenario at the Kabul airport enabling terrorists to execute a deadly attack that killed eleven marines and a Navy medic and further undermined his abilities to execute his duties under 22 U.S.C. 4802(b).

>>14562003

Secretary Blinkenโ€™s actions, including ignoring critical intelligence received from the embassy in Kabul and United States intelligence agencies, have left American property, military equipment and weapons in the hands of enemies of the United States, left American citizens stranded in life threatening situations in dereliction of his duties as Secretary of State (22 U.S.C. 2715; 22 U.S.C. 4802). These actions have eroded American interests and security as well as our credibility and relationships amongst our closest allies. In failing to uphold his responsibilities of his office, Secretary Blinken has failed to ensure the protection of the United States Government to American citizens, property, and interests in foreign countries.

 

Wherefore, Antony John Blinken, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

 

Article II

Antony John Blinken, in his conduct while Secretary of State, engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an Officer of the United States, as follows:

 

On August 10, 2021, as the crisis in Afghanistan was evident and worsening, Secretary Blinkenโ€™s spokesman, Ned Price, stated that the United States continues to have leverage โ€ฆ and the Afghan Government has tremendous leverage.. An assertion now proven obviously erroneous constituting the provision of false information to the Congress and American citizens.

 

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban captured Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Over one week later, on August 25, 2021, Secretary Blinken gave his first public briefing or interview since the collapse of Afghanistan. This is in direct violation of his statutory duty to keep the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives fully and currently informed with respect to all activities and responsibilities within the jurisdiction of these committees (22 U.S.C. 2680(b)).

 

On July 13, 2021, nearly two dozen American diplomats, still remaining in the Kabul embassy, sent a memo directly to Secretary Blinken through the State Departmentโ€™s โ€œdissentโ€ channel. The cable, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on August 19, 2021, urged that evacuation flights for Afghans begin in two weeks and that the administration move faster to register them for visas.

 

Five days prior to Secretary Blinken receiving the cable through the dissent channel from Kabul, President Biden stated that the Afghan Government was unlikely to fall and there would be no chaotic evacuations of Americans similar to the end of Vietnam. Upon receiving the dissent cable from the Embassy, Secretary Blinken had a moral duty and was statutorily obligated to inform the Congress and American public (22 U.S.C. 2680(b)) that President Bidenโ€™s remarks needed to be clarified to prevent any confusion at home and abroad.

 

Throughout the month of July and into August, prior to the collapse of the Afghan Government, the United States Intelligence Community warned President Biden and his top advisors, including Secretary Blinken, that the situation in Afghanistan was worsening, the Afghan military was ill-prepared to deal with the Taliban, and a preemptive removal of American troops was ill-advised.

 

In direct conflict with the intelligence and advice provided by his own diplomats and the intelligence community, Secretary Blinken failed to advise and counsel the President accordingly and did not inform the Congress nor American citizens at home and abroad of the dangers posed by the advancing Taliban of which he was explicitly aware.

 

As a result, the Afghan Government collapsed in the month of August 2021 and American forces have been struggling to retrieve American civilians and allies, and a humanitarian crisis has erupted at Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul. Secretary Blinken has not informed the American public nor Congress of what actions will be taken to ensure the safety of all Americans and American allies in Afghanistan.

 

Wherefore, Antony John Blinken, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

Child exploitation, any form of it, is a moral abomination, and within this category of evil is a particular kind of depravity that shocks the conscience. It comes packaged in online images of children being subjected to the most vile and violent treatment. These imagesโ€”images that, unfortunately, each of you has to investigate on a regular basisโ€”contain some of the most unspeakable violations one individual can perpetrate on another. This is some of the most difficult work in law enforcement, and you are the ones doing it. Thank you.

When it comes to protecting children, there is, regrettably, always a new challenge just around the corner. In recent years, one particular menace has been devastating American communities, with an outsized, collateral impact on our kids. Drug abuse, and in particular opioid abuse, is tearing apart families, destroying communities, and putting law enforcement officers and first responders at grave risk.

Children are particularly vulnerable to the ravages of drug abuse. Studies suggest that anywhere from a third to two-thirds of child maltreatment cases involve caregiver substance abuse. And the children of addicts are being removed from parental custody at alarming rates; with the skyrocketing deaths comes skyrocketing and permanent additions to the foster-care system. According to a recent story in The New York Times, the number of children in foster care since 2010 has doubled in Montana, and has increased by eighty percent in Georgia and forty-five percent in West Virginia.

The line between drug abuse and child maltreatment is short, direct, and well documented. It has always been the case that in homes where there are drugs, children suffer. But with opioids, the problem seems particularly pervasive and menacingโ€”and like an aggressive malignancy it is metastasizing across the nation. We need to be prepared for the predators who will take advantage of these vulnerable, abandoned childrenโ€”the opioid orphans.

Addressing the problem of online child exploitation requires that all of civil society work collaboratively โ€“ including law enforcement, non-governmental organizations, private industry, and individual citizens. As we will hear today, journalists also play an essential role in educating the public and telling the stories of brave survivors like our panelist Sarah Cooper, who has come forward to share her experience. I am fortunate to be followed by a distinguished panel that includes leaders who have done amazing work to inform the public and to keep children safe.

When I say online child exploitation, I am referring to the use of social media platforms, apps, and electronic devices like computers and smart phones to victimize children via the Internet. Most are you are likely familiar with the scourge of online child abuse images โ€“ properly referred to as Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM. Every year, individuals produce and share millions of photos and videos depicting the abuse of minors, which are spread around the world using encrypted technologies and the dark web.

Moreover, exploitation and abuse that begins online in the virtual world often leads to abuse in the real world. In an all-too-common scenario, a predator can use social media to make contact with a child, spend time grooming her to build trust, and then attempt to meet in person to engage in abuse. Predators can also use social media and other platforms to coerce minor victims into sharing explicit images of themselves, and then blackmail the victims into paying money, producing more explicit content, or engaging in sexual acts. This is referred to as โ€œsextortion,โ€ and those cases are on the rise.

The reality is that these types of crimes are not rare โ€“ they are occurring in our communities throughout the country on a daily basis. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children or NCMEC, which operates a centralized reporting system for online child exploitation, received 16.9 million reports of suspected abuse last year alone. Those reports included over 69 million photos, videos, and other files related to child sexual exploitation, many of which involved children younger than 10-years-old. Over the years, NCMEC analysts have done the harrowing work of reviewing more than 312 million images and videos of potential abuse, and, as a result, law enforcement has identified more than 18,900 child victims to date. Unfortunately, there are many more who have not been identified.

Because of school closings, shutdowns, and the cancellation of many in-person activities and events, children are spending more and more time online. Many children are now using webcams โ€“ some for the first time โ€“ to participate in remote learning and to communicate with loved ones. This increased familiarity with sharing personal images online can lull children into a false sense of comfort. At the same time, kids are often less supervised because parents and guardians must leave for work or spend their time at home teleworking. We are fortunate to have advanced technology that provides us the means to stay connected with friends and family, to learn and work remotely, and to participate in virtual events like this one. However, that same technology also provides predators with pathways into our homes that can be used to target children for sexual exploitation.

The good news is that the Department of Justice and our state and local partners have a long track record of successfully investigating and prosecuting child exploitation crimes.

Methamidophos, sold in Mexico under the trade names Metaldane 600, Tamaron or Monitor, is one of the most acutely toxic organophosphate pesticides and is similar to a class of chemicals that were originally manufactured as chemical warfare nerve agents.

Furadan contains the cancelled pesticide carbofuran, which is a highly toxic insecticide that affects the central nervous systems by the same mechanism as chemical warfare nerve agents. It is highly toxic to birds, fish and mammals and is classified by the EPA as Toxicity Category I, the highest category, based upon its lethal potency. Monitor contains the cancelled pesticide methamidophos, which is one of the most acutely toxic organophosphate pesticides, also related to chemical warfare nerve agents. Rodentox contains zinc phosphide, an extremely toxic rodenticide. Ingestion of 7 drops to one teaspoons of zinc phosphide would likely kill a 150-pound person.

After it is ingested, the zinc phosphide reacts with acid in the stomach, producing phosphine gas, which blocks cells from making energy, killing the cells. Phosphine gas can also be produced in the stomach if zinc phosphide dust is inhaled and swallowed after clearing from the lungs. The use of these chemicals poses a danger to humans and wildlife that might come in contact with them, as well as cannabis users who ingest products treated with them. Moreover, these chemicals are known to have injured law enforcement officers engaged in the eradication of illegal marijuana cultivation sites in California.

Agents raided Newellโ€™s home, truck and law office, and said they found a hard drive in his den that contained numerous videos of naked young men showering. Newell was captured on the footage setting the camera up and in one clip, could be seen searching a naked young man for ticks, the Sun reported.

 

Newell denied setting up the camera โ€” but investigators said they caught him trying to chew up and swallow a memory card when he was first confronted with the allegations.

โ€œOur only hope is that it wonโ€™t take years for the citizens of the state to wake up and realize that we have the ultimate power to insist on changes to laws and the people who implement those laws, to affect reforms that are so badly needed to protect ourselves from the evil that exists amongst us,โ€ George Tibbitts said.

As alleged in the affidavit in support of a criminal complaint, Zaidi offered his services to the Supreme Leader of Iran in or around July 2015 and said that he could serve the โ€œIslamic Republic in the socio-political or another field.โ€ The complaint alleges that Zaidi traveled to Syria in or around June 2018 and that, while there, flew to an active war zone in an armed Iranian military or intelligence aircraft. The complaint alleges that Zaidi had access to bases under the command of Iranโ€™s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) while in that war zone, including a โ€œSepah Qodsโ€ (IRGC Qods Force) base. The IRGC was designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S on April 4, 2019. Qassem Soleimani, a major general in the IRGC, was commander of the Qods Force until he was killed in a U.S. airstrike on Jan. 3, 2020.

 

According to the complaint, in December 2018, Zaidi and other members of an organization known as โ€œIslamic Pulse,โ€ including Chawla, received the permission of the Supreme Leader of Iran to collect khums, a religious tax, on the Supreme Leaderโ€™s behalf, and to send half of that money to Yemen. The complaint alleges that permission was formalized on or about Feb. 28, 2019, in a letter confirming the permission of the Supreme Leader of Iran and another Ayatollah to spend khums money in Yemen.

 

Based on the complaint, in or around July 2019, Islamic Pulse released a video soliciting donations for its purported Yemen campaign that showed money moving from the United States and other Western countries to Yemen through Iran. The complaint alleges that Chawla replied to donorsโ€™ concerns about how the campaign was able to get money into Yemen by stating that the matter could not be discussed over email. The complaint further alleges that Chawla sought U.S. dollars specifically, stated that Islamic Pulse could not accept electronic transfers, and admitted that Islamic Pulse was not a registered charity.

 

The complaint alleges that after the United States placed sanctions on the Supreme Leader of Iran in June 2019, Zaidi told Naqvi that the action was a โ€œstraight hit on khums.โ€ The complaint alleges that in summer and fall 2019 Zaidi and Naqvi continued to collect U.S. currency in the United States and have it transported it to Iran, sometimes via Iraq, structured in such a way as to avoid reporting requirements. After a group of 25 travelers carried money destined for Iran on behalf of Zaidi and Naqvi in October 2019, Zaidi and Naqvi discussed the screening the travelers underwent at the airport and Naqviโ€™s hope that none of the travelers would confess to authorities upon their return.

 

The complaint alleges that, during his current stay in the United States, which began in June 2020, Zaidi has exhibited behavior that is consistent with having received training from a foreign government or foreign intelligence service, such as the government of Iran or IRGC. According to the complaint, that behavior includes a reluctance to discuss matters over the phone, or even over encrypted applications, because Zaidi claims that doing so could be dangerous.

 

The charges in criminal complaints are merely allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The maximum penalty for a violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 951 is 10 years, and the maximum penalty for a violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is 20 years. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes.

 

The investigation into this matter was conducted by the FBIโ€™s Washington Field Office and Houston Field Office. The case is being prosecuted by the National Security Section of the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the District of Columbia, along with the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section and Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice.

Tuscaloosa Man Sentenced to 600 Years in Prison for Sexual Exploitation of Children

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. โ€“ A federal judge today sentenced a Tuscaloosa man for sexually exploiting two young children, announced U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, Jr.

 

Chief U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler sentenced MATTHEW MILLER, 32, to 7,200 months in prison for producing child pornography. Miller was charged in a 20-count indictment for enticing two children under the age of 5 to engage in sexual explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual production of such conduct. A search warrant was obtained for the defendantโ€™s electronic devices. The forensic examination of those devices revealed 102 pornographic images that the defendant had produced of the children. Miller pled guilty to these charges in October 2019.

 

โ€œChild predators seek out and victimize those that are the most innocent and vulnerable - children,โ€ Escalona said. โ€œThe sentences imposed today and yesterday in local child exploitation cases reflect the commitment of law enforcement in this district to prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law those who commit crimes against children.โ€

 

โ€œThe crimes for which Miller has admitted guilt are not only disturbing, they are sickening, and his actions robbed these children of their childhood,โ€ Sharp said. โ€œI am proud of the work of the FBI on this case, and I applaud the sentence handed down today, as Miller will spend the rest of his natural life behind prison bars.โ€

 

FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force investigated the case, along with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriffโ€™s Office Violent Crime Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney R. Leann White prosecuted the case.

April 6, 2021

Press Release

Washington, DC โ€“ Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) announced today the creation of the Election Integrity Caucus in Congress, which she will chair alongside co-chair Congressman Mike Garcia (CA-25). The Election Integrity Caucus will proactively educate and inform the American public about issues related to election security and activity, drive commonsense policy solutions to restore faith in the democratic process, and improve the administration of elections. The caucus will ensure Americans in every state and territory have confidence in free, fair, accurate, and transparent elections.

 

Tenney experienced the administrative inefficiencies of elections firsthand in her congressional race during the 2020 election. It was not until February 11, 2021, that Tenney was sworn in following an exhaustive legal process by the New York State Supreme Court that extended for nearly 100 days. The legal process ensured every legally cast ballot was counted, but it revealed glaring administrative mistakes that resulted from statewide election mandates put in place by Governor Andrew Cuomo. House Democrats are now trying to nationalize these mandates through bills like H.R. 1, which would ban voter ID, permit ballot harvesting, require same-day voting and registration, and include other changes that will increase administrative confusion and the likelihood of fraud and abuse.

 

โ€œMore Americans than ever before have concerns regarding how elections are administered in our country. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our constitutional republic, and voting is one of the most sacred rights and responsibilities we have as Americans. Congress must focus on restoring peopleโ€™s faith in the democratic process. Proposals like H.R. 1 are going to make it harder to administer fair and transparent elections that voters have confidence in,โ€ said Congresswoman Tenney. โ€œH.R.1 lowers the standards so significantly that we sacrifice both the security and integrity of our elections and open the door to greater administrative mistakes and fraud.โ€

 

โ€œThis caucus will shape the debate around election reform in Congress and drive real policy outcomes. I want every eligible American to vote. House Democrats continue to claim that we canโ€™t protect our elections while also increasing participation, but theyโ€™re wrong. This caucus will focus on proactively educating voters about their sacred right to vote and enacting solutions to increase turnout and participation while securing safeguards to make sure only legal votes count,โ€ Congresswoman Tenney concluded. โ€œWhen a record number of Americans are concerned about the integrity of our elections, we need to come together to find solutions to the problem. Thatโ€™s the focus of the Election Integrity Caucus.โ€

 

Garcia, who was first elected to Congress after winning a 2020 special election, won his recent congressional election by 333 votes. It was more than a month after election day when his race was officially certified. One of Garciaโ€™s top priorities in Congress is to restore election integrity as he has experienced how Californiaโ€™s failed election policies, such as no I.D. required to vote, same day voter registration, and ballot harvesting have undermined the sanctity of each vote and have eroded the publicโ€™s trust in the election process. H.R. 1 would upload Californiaโ€™s failed election policies to the federal level and would also use taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns. Garcia is committed to working to provide real solutions to election integrity and stopping policies like H.R. 1, which further erode Americanโ€™s confidence in the election process.

โ€œAmericans deserve to trust our election process โ€“ but unfortunately far too many Americans have concerns regarding election integrity. Progressives in DC are attempting to model federal election law after Californiaโ€™s current system,โ€ said Garcia. โ€œIn California, we know firsthand how harmful ballot harvesting, no-excuse mail-in ballot voting, and lack of voter roll integrity can be to free and fair elections. Proposals like H.R. 1 would allow for the adoption of these policies as the law of the land, which would devastate election integrity in America and lengthen post-election uncertainty. H.R. 1 would also put taxpayer dollars towards political campaigns. The integrity of our elections is crucial to maintaining the sanctity of our democracy. Restoring Americansโ€™ faith in the election process should be a top priority in Congress, which is why I am proud to launch the Election Integrity Caucus. Our Caucus will bring lawmakers and experts together to discuss and create real, needed solutions to restore the integrity in our elections.โ€

 

โ€œFree and fair elections are the basis of our democracy. But because of administrative inefficiencies, misguided proposals like H.R. 1, and Democratsโ€™ attempt to steal Iowaโ€™s 2nd Congressional seat, more Americans than ever before have questions about the fair administration of our election system. Congress has an obligation to protect election integrity at every level of government and help earn back Americansโ€™ trust. The Election Integrity Caucus, established today by Representatives Claudia Tenney and Mike Garcia, will do just that. By providing a forum where members of Congress can collaborate with election security experts, the Election Integrity Caucus will help ensure future American elections are as efficient and accurate as possible, and voters have complete confidence in our election system," said House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy.

 

โ€œThe American people deserve confidence that their vote counts, and that election results reflect the will of the voters. During the last election cycle, we saw non-legislative officials in a select few states hastily implement their own rules and voting procedures without the necessary safeguards to ensure accurate and secure elections. I applaud Congresswoman Tenney and Congressman Garcia for creating the Election Integrity Caucus, and look forward to the role this new caucus will play as we work to develop solutions to protect the sanctity of our electoral process," said House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.

 

โ€œItโ€™s more important than ever before that we continue to tell the American people the truth about Democratsโ€™ efforts to nationalize our elections,โ€ said Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Rodney Davis. โ€œReps. Tenney and Garcia are uniquely qualified to help raise awareness about whatโ€™s actually happening in states across the country and what Democrats are trying to do at the federal level. H.R. 1/S. 1 would be the largest expansion of the federal governmentโ€™s role in our elections than ever before and Americans deserve to know how this bill could impact their right to vote for decades to come. I look forward to hearing the discussions sparked by this new caucus.โ€

 

โ€œAs leaders, we have a moral responsibility to do everything we can to restore trust in our elections. I am proud to join Reps. Tenney and Garcia in forming this caucus and leading the fight for election integrity in the House," said Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks.

Progressives in DC are attempting to model federal election law after Californiaโ€™s current system,โ€ said Congressman Garcia. โ€œIn California, we know firsthand how harmful ballot harvesting, no-excuse mail-in ballot voting, and lack of voter roll integrity can be to free and fair elections. Proposals like H.R. 1 would allow for the adoption of these policies as the law of the land, which would devastate election integrity in America and lengthen post-election uncertainty. H.R. 1 would also put taxpayer dollars towards political campaigns. The integrity of our elections is crucial to maintaining the sanctity of our democracy. Restoring Americansโ€™ faith in the election process should be a top priority in Congress, which is why I am proud to launch the Election Integrity Caucus. Our Caucus will bring lawmakers and experts together to discuss and create real, needed solutions to restore the integrity in our elections.โ€

 

Tenney experienced the administrative inefficiencies of elections firsthand in her congressional race during the 2020 election. It was not until February 11, 2021, that Tenney was sworn in following an exhaustive legal process by the New York State Supreme Court that extended for nearly 100 days. The legal process ensured every legally cast ballot was counted, but it revealed glaring administrative mistakes that resulted from statewide election mandates put in place by Governor Andrew Cuomo. House Democrats are now trying to nationalize these mandates through bills like H.R. 1, which would ban voter ID, permit ballot harvesting, require same-day voting and registration, and include other changes that will increase administrative confusion and the likelihood of fraud and abuse.

 

โ€œMore Americans than ever before have concerns regarding how elections are administered in our country. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our constitutional republic, and voting is one of the most sacred rights and responsibilities we have as Americans. Congress must focus on restoring peopleโ€™s faith in the democratic process. Proposals like H.R. 1 are going to make it harder to administer fair and transparent elections that voters have confidence in,โ€ said Congresswoman Tenney. โ€œH.R.1 lowers the standards so significantly that we sacrifice both the security and integrity of our elections and open the door to greater administrative mistakes and fraud.โ€

โ€œThis caucus will shape the debate around election reform in Congress and drive real policy outcomes. I want every eligible American to vote. House Democrats continue to claim that we canโ€™t protect our elections while also increasing participation, but theyโ€™re wrong. This caucus will focus on proactively educating voters about their sacred right to vote and enacting solutions to increase turnout and participation while securing safeguards to make sure only legal votes count,โ€ Congresswoman Tenney concluded. โ€œWhen a record number of Americans are concerned about the integrity of our elections, we need to come together to find solutions to the problem. Thatโ€™s the focus of the Election Integrity Caucus.โ€

 

โ€œFree and fair elections are the basis of our democracy. But because of administrative inefficiencies, misguided proposals like H.R. 1, and Democratsโ€™ attempt to steal Iowaโ€™s 2nd Congressional seat, more Americans than ever before have questions about the fair administration of our election system. Congress has an obligation to protect election integrity at every level of government and help earn back Americansโ€™ trust. The Election Integrity Caucus, established today by Representatives Claudia Tenney and Mike Garcia, will do just that. By providing a forum where members of Congress can collaborate with election security experts, the Election Integrity Caucus will help ensure future American elections are as efficient and accurate as possible, and voters have complete confidence in our election system," said House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy.

 

โ€œThe American people deserve confidence that their vote counts, and that election results reflect the will of the voters. During the last election cycle, we saw non-legislative officials in a select few states hastily implement their own rules and voting procedures without the necessary safeguards to ensure accurate and secure elections. I applaud Congresswoman Tenney and Congressman Garcia for creating the Election Integrity Caucus, and look forward to the role this new caucus will play as we work to develop solutions to protect the sanctity of our electoral process," said House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.

 

โ€œItโ€™s more important than ever before that we continue to tell the American people the truth about Democratsโ€™ efforts to nationalize our elections,โ€ said Committee on House Administration Ranking Member Rodney Davis. โ€œReps. Tenney and Garcia are uniquely qualified to help raise awareness about whatโ€™s actually happening in states across the country and what Democrats are trying to do at the federal level. H.R. 1/S. 1 would be the largest expansion of the federal governmentโ€™s role in our elections than ever before and Americans deserve to know how this bill could impact their right to vote for decades to come. I look forward to hearing the discussions sparked by this new caucus.โ€

 

โ€œAs leaders, we have a moral responsibility to do everything we can to restore trust in our elections. I am proud to join Reps. Tenney and Garcia in forming this caucus and leading the fight for election integrity in the House," said Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks.

Public Law No: 117-37 (08/25/2021)

Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers for Veterans Therapy Act or the PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act

 

This bill implements a program and a policy related to service dog therapy for veterans. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to implement a five-year pilot program to provide canine training to eligible veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as an element of a complementary and integrative health program. Eligible veterans are those who are enrolled in the VA health care system and have been recommended for participation by a qualified mental health care provider or clinical team.

 

The VA must seek to enter agreements containing specified elements with accredited nongovernmental entities that have demonstrated ability to provide canine training.

 

Veterans who participate in the program are authorized to adopt the dog they assisted in training if their health provider determines it is in the best interest of the veteran.

 

The VA must establish processes to document and track the progress of participating veterans with respect to health benefits and improvements.

 

The Government Accountability Office must brief Congress and submit a report on the program.

 

The bill also authorizes the VA to provide service dogs to veterans with mental illnesses, regardless of whether they have a mobility impairment.

Virginia Beach Man Sentenced for Child Pornography Offenses

NORFOLK, Va. โ€“ A Virginia Beach man was sentenced on Thursday to nearly 20 years in prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for receiving and possessing images of child sexual abuse.

 

โ€œThis defendantโ€™s appalling conduct included his possession of over 30,000 images and over 3,000 videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children,โ€ said Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. โ€œThe significant sentence imposed in this case sends a strong message of deterrence and a clear warning to those who are considering committing crimes that involve the continued victimization of children.โ€

 

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, in July 2018, the FBI executed a search warrant at the residence of Bradley Jeffrey-Moe, 29 after an online undercover operation identified Jeffery-Moe as having made available dozens of images of child sexual abuse for download over various peer-to-peer networks. During the search, the FBI discovered five electronic devices which contained thousands of images of child sexual abuse, as well as digital records reflecting the use of peer-to-peer software to search for and download such images. During a Mirandized interview conducted by the FBI, Jeffery-Moe confessed that he had downloaded and viewed the images.

 

Jeffrey-Moe was sentenced to 236 months. He was previously convicted by a federal jury on November 13, 2020. According to forensic evidence presented at trial through expert testimony, a total of over 30,000 images and 3,000 videos of child pornography were recovered from the defendantโ€™s electronic devices.

 

Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Brian Dugan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBIโ€™s Norfolk Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen.

 

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony Mozzi and Michael Gill prosecuted the case.

 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

South Bay Man Pleads Guilty to Federal Charges for Producing Sexually Explicit Content Involving Children

 

LOS ANGELES โ€“ A South Bay man pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for producing thousands of sexually explicit images and videos of nearly three dozen children and developing a relationship with at least one boy in the Philippines who performed sex acts online in exchange for money.

 

Billy Edward Frederick, 51, of Redondo Beach, pleaded guilty to a two-count information charging him with production of child pornography for transportation into the United States and enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.

 

According to his plea agreement, Frederick stored in his Google accounts various images and videos depicting child pornography, at least some of which he obtained from video calls on Google Hangout. One video from July 2020 in which a boy, who appears to be between 11 and 14 years old, engages in sexual activity while Frederick records the video call. In messages sent relating to the video call, the victim calls Frederick โ€œmaster.โ€

 

Chats between Frederick and the victim prior to the video call in which the boy asks to borrow money to purchase underwear. Immediately after the call, Frederick chatted online with the boy, who asked for money to be sent to his brother.

 

Frederick admitted to producing more than 5,000 images and videos of child pornography involving at least 35 different children by requesting these children engage in specified sexually explicit activity in exchange for money. Some of the videos and images depicted minor victims under the age of 12 being used for sexual acts.

 

United States District Judge Dale S. Fischer has scheduled a March 14, 2022 sentencing hearing, at which time Frederick will face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

 

Homeland Security Investigations investigated this matter.

 

Assistant United States Attorney Kathy Yu of the Violent and Organized Crime Section is prosecuting this case.

South Bend Man Sentenced To More Than 24 Years In Federal Prison For Child Sex Abuse

 

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN โ€” Alexander Scott Yossett, 28, of South Bend, Indiana, was sentenced to 293 months (more than 24 years) in federal prison for committing sexual assaults against a young child, U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge announced today. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Judge Hala Y. Jarbou imposed lifetime supervised release that will commence once Yossett is released from imprisonment. Yossett will also be required to register as a sexual offender.

 

Yossett pled guilty on May 26, 2021, to Abusive Sexual Contact with a Child Under 12 Years. He admitted that he had repeatedly sexually assaulted a young child while on a tribal reservation in Michigan. In its sentencing memorandum, the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office argued in favor of a lengthy sentence, pointing to the seriousness of the defendantโ€™s conduct and the need to deter others and protect the public. The United States emphasized the particularly despicable nature of child sex abuse and the lasting scars it leaves on its victims.

 

U.S. Attorney Birge stated: โ€œThe federal penalties for those who sexually abuse children are severe and well-deserved. My office is dedicated to working these cases with our tribal, state, local, and federal partners to make sure that victims receive justice and needed services and that predators are sent away and can pose no threat to children for a very long time.โ€

 

This case was jointly investigated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Tribal Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Press Release

SEC Charges Three Media Companies with Illegal Offerings of Stock and Digital Assets

Companies to Pay More Than $539 Million in Settlement for Distribution to Investors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-175

 

Washington D.C., Sept. 13, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged New York City-based GTV Media Group Inc. and Saraca Media Group Inc., and Phoenix, Arizona-based Voice of Guo Media Inc., with conducting an illegal unregistered offering of GTV common stock. The SEC also announced charges against GTV and Saraca for conducting an illegal unregistered offering of a digital asset security referred to as either G-Coins or G-Dollars. The respondents have agreed to pay more than $539 million to settle the SEC's action.

 

According to the SEC's order, from April through June 2020, the respondents generally solicited thousands of individuals to invest in the GTV stock offering. During the same period, GTV and Saraca solicited individuals to invest in the digital asset offering. The order finds that the respondents disseminated information about the two offerings to the general public through publicly available videos on GTV's and Saraca's websites, as well as on social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter. Through these two securities offerings, whose proceeds were commingled, the respondents collectively raised approximately $487 million from more than 5,000 investors, including U.S. investors. As stated in the order, no registration statements were filed or in effect for either offering, and the respondents' offers and sales did not qualify for an exemption from registration.

 

"Issuers seeking to access the markets through a public securities offering must provide investors with the disclosures required under the federal securities laws," said Sanjay Wadhwa, Deputy Director of the SEC's Enforcement Division. "When they fail to do so, the Commission will seek remedies that make harmed investors whole, such as an unwinding of the offering and a return of the funds to the investors."

 

"Thousands of investors purchased GTV stock, G-Coins, and G-Dollars based on the respondents' solicitation of the general public with limited disclosures," said Richard R. Best, Director of the SEC's New York Regional Office. "The remedies ordered by the Commission today, which include a fair fund distribution, will provide meaningful relief to investors in these illegal offerings."

 

Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings that they violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, GTV and Saraca agreed to a cease-and-desist order, to pay disgorgement of over $434 million plus prejudgment interest of approximately $16 million on a joint and several basis, and to each pay a civil penalty of $15 million. Voice of Guo agreed to a cease-and-desist order, to pay disgorgement of more than $52 million plus prejudgment interest of nearly $2 million, and to pay a civil penalty of $5 million. The order establishes a Fair Fund to return monies to injured investors. The respondents also agreed to not participate, directly or indirectly, in any offering of a digital asset security, to assist the SEC staff in the administration of a distribution plan, and to publish notice of the SEC's order on their public websites and social media channels, including but not limited to, www.gtv.org and www.gnews.org.

 

The SEC's continuing investigation is being conducted by William Conway, Amanda Rios, Kerri Palen, and Sandeep Satwalekar. The investigation that led up to the filing of this action was conducted by Mr. Conway, Ms. Rios, Ms. Palen, Jorge Tenreiro, and Mr. Satwalekar. The case is being supervised by Messrs. Wadhwa and Best. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Arizona Corporation Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

Mattoon Sex Offender Sentenced to 45 Years in Prison for Sexual Exploitation of Children

URBANA, Ill. โ€“Jeffrey M. West, 53, of the 1300 block of S. Third Street, in Mattoon, Illinois, was sentenced today to 45 years (540 months) in federal prison for child sexual exploitation offenses.

 

In April 2021, a federal jury convicted West of two counts of sexual exploitation of minors; two counts of commission of the offense by a registered sex offender; two counts of receiving child pornography; and one count of possession of child pornography.

 

The governmentโ€™s evidence at the April trial established that law enforcement became aware of West when a minor disclosed that West had sexually abused him in 2019. During the subsequent investigation, computer forensic analysis showed that West had collected more than 1,000 images and videos involving child pornography, including sexually explicit depictions of infants and prepubescent minors, which were found on multiple devices in his home and at his business, West Side Motors, in Mattoon.

 

In addition, the governmentโ€™s evidence showed that West used the video-chatting website Omegle to entice and coerce multiple unidentified minor males to engage in sexually explicit conduct, which he captured for his child pornography collection.

 

West has a prior conviction in Coles County for aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a 10-year-old minor female and a 4-year-old minor male.

 

West was arrested in May 2019 in Mattoon on state charges, but was released on bond. In September 2019, a federal grand jury charged West by indictment, and he was subsequently arrested on the federal charges. Later that month, U.S. Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long ordered that West be detained pending trial. He has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since his federal arrest.

 

Following Westโ€™s release from prison he will be on supervised release for fifteen years and will be required to register as a sex offender.

 

โ€œThose who choose to sexually abuse children will be caught, prosecuted, and severely punished,โ€ said Acting U.S. Attorney Douglas J. Quivey. โ€œI commend the diligent investigators of the Mattoon Police Department, working in conjunction with the FBI, for making our community safer.โ€

 

The charges are the result of an investigation by the Mattoon Police Department, with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Springfield Division, and the Coles County Stateโ€™s Attorneyโ€™s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elly Peirson and Keith Hollingshead-Cook represented the government at trial.

 

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneysโ€™ Offices and the Criminal Divisionโ€™s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Bourbonnais Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Enticement of a Minor

 

URBANA, Ill. โ€“ Timothy Lyle Dean, 38, of the 200 block of Spencer Court, in Bourbonnais, Illinois, was sentenced today to 10 years in federal prison, to be followed by eight years of supervised release, for enticement of a minor.

 

In April 2021, a federal jury convicted Dean of one count of enticement of a minor. Evidence presented at trial showed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified Dean when he arranged to meet an individual he believed to be a 14-year-old minor for sexual activity on the dating application Grindr.

 

In March 2020, a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Dean with enticement following his February arrest pursuant to a criminal complaint. U.S. Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long ordered that Dean be detained pending trial following that arrest, and he has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

 

Dean was arrested over Valentineโ€™s Day weekend in 2020 as part of an FBI Springfield Division Operation conducted in Kankakee County, Illinois. The operation was conducted with the coordination and assistance of the Bradley Police Department, the Kankakee County Sheriffโ€™s Office, and the Kankakee Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elly Peirson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Shannon Oโ€™Brien-Ranck โ€“ also the Deputy Bureau Chief with the Illinois Attorney Generalโ€™s Office, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force โ€“ represented the government at trial.

Boise Man Sentenced to 28 Years in Prison for Producing Child Pornography

BOISE โ€“ Joseph Anthony Lee, 38, of Boise, was sentenced to 336 months in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a child, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Rafael M. Gonzalez, Jr. today. Senior U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Lee to serve 15 years of supervised release following his prison sentence. Lee pleaded guilty to the charges on March 22, 2021.

 

According to court records, the investigation began after a thirteen-year-old female reported that Lee had been sexually abusing her for several years. Following the victimโ€™s disclosure, the Boise Police Department (BPD) obtained a search warrant for Leeโ€™s residence. BPD executed the search warrant on January 23, 2020. BPD contacted Lee and seized his cellphone. After obtaining a search warrant for Leeโ€™s cellphone, BPD located explicit images and videos that Lee had produced of himself sexually abusing the victim. BPD also located numerous files of child pornography depicting other children.

 

Acting U.S. Attorney Gonzalez commended the investigators from Boise Police Department and the Ada County Prosecutorโ€™s Office for aggressively pursuing this defendant and holding him accountable. โ€œAs parents, colleagues, teachers, and caregivers, we must be vigilant in reporting these types of crimes to law enforcement. Please help us prevent child abuse,โ€ he concluded.

 

At sentencing, Judge Winmill also ordered Lee to pay restitution of $18,000 to victims in the images he possessed. As a result of conviction, Lee will be required to register as a sex offender.

Madison Man Sentenced to 10 Years After Pleading Guilty to Distributing Child Pornography

MADISON, WIS. โ€“ Timothy M. Oโ€™Shea, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that today Brian D. Lamphier, 52, Madison, Wisconsin, pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography and was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson to 10 years in federal prison. This prison term will be followed by 15 years of supervised release.

 

In June 2019, the Madison Police Department received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that an adult male, later identified as Lamphier, was using Facebook to communicate with a potential minor and was sending potential images of child pornography. Investigation revealed that the person Lamphier was talking to was 19-years-old and, thus, was not a minor, and that the images that he was sending could not be determined to be child pornography. Madison Police Officers spoke with Lamphier and warned him that his behavior was very close to the line of being illegal.

 

In June 2020, the Madison Police Department received another tip from NCMEC that a 50-year-old man, later identified as Lamphier, was attempting to entice a 15-year-old boy to engage in sexual conduct via Facebook messenger. Investigation revealed that Lamphier met the minor on the Internet and from March through June of 2020, paid the minor to engage in sexual activity. During some of the sexual encounters, Lamphier took nude pictures of the minor. On April 8, 2020, Lamphier sent one of the nude images of the boy to the previously identified 19-year-old Facebook user.

 

At sentencing, after the victimโ€™s family spoke, Judge Peterson noted the devastating consequences on the victim and his family. Judge Peterson stated that Lamphierโ€™s โ€œinsistent pattern of conductโ€ with the minor, combined with the fact that he had been given a prior warning by the police, were aggravating for sentencing. In choosing a 10-year sentence, Judge Peterson stated that Lamphier not only distributed child pornography but also engaged in the sustained abuse of a child and the production of child pornography. Judge Peterson also stated that Lamphier โ€œtreated his victim like an object for [his] own sexual satisfaction.โ€

 

The charge against Lamphier was the result of an investigation conducted by the Madison Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie S. Pfluger prosecuted this case.

The Consent of the Governed

By: Kevin Kiley

 

Today we give new meaning to five forgotten words from our Declaration of Independence: The consent of the governed.

 

Polls are open until 8 PM, and you can find your polling place here. You can follow the results here. The first results will appear shortly after 8 and will include early absentee ballots. Sometime later in the night Election Day voters will be added.

 

The campaign against the Recall began with a press conference calling it The California Coup. Since then, Newsom has attacked you and me in malicious ways. Heโ€™s called in $70 million from Special Interests. Heโ€™s flooded our TV sets with fearmongering lies. He even changed the rules for the election to help himself.

 

Newsom wants us to believe that the California Dream is dead. That the only job of our politicians is to divvy up the spoils on a sinking ship.

 

We refused to believe that. Our campaign has been driven by optimism and hope. Itโ€™s about our kids and grandkids. Itโ€™s a movement not just to fire Americaโ€™s worst governor but to save Americaโ€™s greatest state.

 

I am heading to the polls now and will vote as follows:

 

Question 1: YES

 

Question 2: KILEY

 

If your ballot looks the same, you can share an image on social media here.

 

Letโ€™s shock the world, light a new spark of liberty, and give full expression to the three most magnificent words in our nationโ€™s history: We the People.

Many people ask me why I'm working so hard for audits and election integrity, traveling the country and developing the network of leaders who will lead election integrity efforts everywhere.

 

As if the disaster of the 2020 election wasn't enough, what has happened in 2021 in the California recall election is proof that our elections are rife with fraud.

 

I'm Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers. I am an Arizona State Senator fighting nationwide for election integrity! Please help me continue to fight for election integrity measures!

 

California leads the country in lots of crazy ideas. I hope they recall Newsom, but the $100 million the Dems poured in to save him have bought them a lot of fraudulent votes.

 

Two weeks ago FOX News reported on this:

 

Torrance Police recovered more than 300 unopened California recall election ballots inside the vehicle of a suspect who was found passed out in his car at a 7-Eleven parking lot, along with a gun and drugs, authorities said Monday.

 

Investigators are now trying to figure out how the election ballots ended up in the suspectโ€™s vehicle and what their intent was in having them.

 

Torrance Police officers arrested the male suspect on Aug. 17 and charged him with numerous weapons, narcotics and forgery charges. The suspect's name was not released.

 

And today, during in-person voting, many Republicans were surprised to find that they had "already voted":

 

Provisional ballots were given to voters in a Los Angeles neighborhood who fell victim to a glitch in which the system erroneously showed they had already voted days ahead of recall Election Day.

 

Two locations in Woodland Hills were affected over the weekend, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's office, which blamed the problem on electronic poll book devices used to check in voters.

 

โ€œThe voters who experienced this issue were offered and provided a provisional ballot, the fail-safe option to ensure no one is turned away from voting. After troubleshooting the issue, the equipment at the locations was replaced and voting continued," the office said in a statement.

 

Provisional ballots are counted after election officials confirm voters are registered to vote and have not already voted in a given election.

 

Monica Almada, who encountered the glitch at the Disabled American Veterans 73 Vote Center, called it a "pretty serious glitch," recalling how a clerk informed her that other voters were struggling to check in to cast a ballot.

 

Sure. A "glitch".

 

I'm sure the Democrats' money bought many such "glitches". I'm sure their crazy mail-in ballot schemes, and print-at-home ballots, and lack of scrubbing the voter rolls, have presented them with great opportunities to steal this election.

 

In California, Democrats are good at that. Stealing elections.

 

But that is why we are pushing for election integrity measures everywhere else. We can't let the media and the Democrats do to us what they have done to California.

 

Win or lose, the California recall has been a painful lesson in what lengths the Democrats are willing to go to steal an election.

 

Here in Arizona in 2020, we had hundreds of thousands of altered votes. More than enough to change the 2020 results.

 

And the full AZ audit report still to come, likely any day now.

 

We need changes, nationally. Our elections are a sham right now and we need to fix them.

 

The media mocks us, but we are taking on the Left and the media and we are winning with hard work and FACTS.

 

Will you help me work for audits around the country? We need to show what actually happened these elections!

 

Our elections need to be fair and secure. Right now they are not. Help us push for audits and election integrity measures!

 

Biden and the media are trying to discredit us. But they can't fight our facts! Join our fight and help us stop the fraud!

 

Thank you so much.

 

America First,

Pembroke Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Distributing and Possessing Child Sexual Abuse Material

CONCORD - Erik Bjork, 38, of Pembroke, was sentenced on Tuesday to 10 years in federal prison for distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material, Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced today.

 

According to court documents and statements made in court, in May of 2019, officers with the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force were conducting online investigations into individuals utilizing peer-to-peer networks (P2P) to share known images of child sexual abuse material on the internet. On May 10, 2019, a detective with the Portsmouth Police Department was able to download five files from a target IP address. Additional monitoring of the target IP address showed more files, all indicative of child sexual abuse material available for download.

 

The IP address was traced to Bjorkโ€™s address in Pembroke. A search warrant was executed and a laptop was seized that contained over 1,600 files of child sexual abuse material, many involving infants and toddlers. Bjork admitted to using P2P networks to obtain and share child sexual abuse material.

 

Bjork previously pleaded guilty on May 27, 2021. In addition to his prison sentence, Bjork was ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution and over $5,000 in special assessments.

 

โ€œChild sexual abuse crimes exploit vulnerable young children,โ€ said Acting U.S. Attorney Farley. โ€œBy distributing and possessing troubling images of infants and toddlers, this defendant further victimized the children in these images. Such conduct is unacceptable. As this case demonstrates, we will not hesitate to seek substantial prison sentences for those who commit child sexual abuse crimes.โ€

 

โ€œThe possession and distribution of child exploitation images perpetuates horrific crimes against children,โ€ said Matthew Millhollin, Special Agent in Charge for the Homeland Security Investigationsโ€™ Boston Field Office. โ€œWe are grateful to our task force partners for the assistance and expertise that make cases like this possible and allow us to remove perpetrators from our communities.โ€

 

โ€œThe New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force will continue to be vigilant with both reactive and proactive investigations in an effort to ensure the safety of the children of New Hampshire,โ€ said Eric Kinsman, Commander of the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. โ€œNH ICAC is proud to partner with our local and federal law enforcement partners and is thankful for the tireless efforts of the Department of Justice and the US Attorneyโ€™s Office.โ€

 

This matter was investigated by the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, the New Hampshire State Police, and Pembroke Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kasey Weiland.

 

In February 2006, the Department of Justice introduced Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneyโ€™s Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.

Former Paraprofessional at Blue Springs High School Sentenced to 22 Years in Prison for Producing Child Pornography

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. โ€“ A former paraprofessional at Blue Springs High School was sentenced in federal court today for producing and distributing child pornography.

 

Steven B. Allen, 46, of Independence, Missouri, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann Ketchmark to 22 years in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Allen to spend the rest of his life on supervised release following incarceration. The court ordered Allen to pay $5,000 to each of the 11 victims who have petitioned for restitution from every person who received or possessed pictures of their sexual abuse, or $3,000 if he can pay restitution within 30 days of his sentencing.

On May 4, 2021, Allen pleaded guilty to two counts of producing child pornography and one count of distributing child pornography over the internet. At the time of the offenses, Allen worked as a paraprofessional teacher at Blue Springs High School.

Recidivist Child Sex Offender From Philadelphia Sentenced to 55 Years For Exploiting Two Young Toddlers

 

The investigation into this defendant lead to the arrest of a Villanova University spiritual leader and West Chester University student

 

PHILADELPHIA โ€“ Acting United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced that Justyn Perez-Colon, 27, of Philadelphia, PA, was sentenced today to 55 years in prison, and lifetime supervised release by United States District Judge E.K. Pratter for his sexual abuse and exploitation of two young toddlers in his care, his production and distribution of child pornography involving those same toddlers, and his collection of hundreds of images of child pornography that he obtained from the internet. At the time he committed these federal crimes, the defendant was a recidivist child sex offender, having previously sexually abused a young family member for more than eight years, beginning when the child was just seven years of age.

 

In September 2019, the defendant pleaded guilty to a federal Indictment, which charged him with two counts of production of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, five counts of attempted distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography.

 

This federal investigation began in February 2018, when Perez-Colon posted an advertisement on Craigslist seeking to connect with other child sex offenders to trade stories and child pornography. An undercover FBI agent responded to his posting. During their communications over the next few days, the defendant admitted to sexually abusing a young family member for years, and also confessed that he was currently sexually abusing a young girl in his care. The defendant sent photographs and video of him sexually abusing the one-year old girl, including images of his horrific abuse of this child was she was sleeping.

 

On February 14, 2018, within 24-hours of receiving the pornographic images of Perez-Colonโ€™s abuse of the child, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified and arrested him. His cell phone was also seized and examined, and found to contain additional videos of Perez-Colon sexually abusing the 1-year-old girl, in addition to evidence that he was also sexually exploiting a different toddler with whom the defendant had a personal relationship.

 

The subsequent investigation by the FBI revealed that the defendant not only sexually abused and exploited the two toddler victims, but he also distributed their images and videos out over the Internet to other child sex offenders for their sexual gratification. The FBI identified Timothy Oโ€™Connell, a Villanova University Campus Minister, and Michael Meacham, a West Chester University student, both of whom communicated online with the defendant, and requested and received sexually explicit images from him. Both of these child sex offenders were prosecuted and pleaded guilty to federal charges of receipt of child pornography. Oโ€™Connell was sentenced in November 2019 to 6 ยฝ years in prison. Meacham is awaiting the imposition of his sentence.

 

In September 2019, defendant Perez-Colon pleaded guilty to the federal Indictment, which charged him with two counts of production of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, five counts of attempted distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography.

 

โ€œChild pornography and exploitation offenses are among the most horrific crimes prosecuted by this Office,โ€ said Acting U.S. Attorney Williams. โ€œBut this case is particularly disturbing due to Perez-Colonโ€™s history as a previously convicted sex offender and the very young ages of his victims. I have no doubt that our community is safer with Perez-Colon and his criminal associates behind bars, and my heartfelt thanks goes out to the fast-acting agents at the FBI who worked quickly to identify and arrest the defendant so he could no longer hurt anyone else.โ€

 

โ€œThe criminal acts to which Justyn Perez-Colon admitted are stomach-churning,โ€ said Bradley S. Benavides, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBIโ€™s Philadelphia Division. โ€œHe sexually abused two toddlers, documenting and sharing images of that exploitation. It was imperative that the FBI swiftly take him off the street. Unequivocally, our community is safer with Perez-Colon behind bars, locked away where he canโ€™t victimize anyone elseโ€™s child.โ€

 

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the Horsham Police Department and the Philadelphia Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Priya T. De Souza.

Dark Web Child Pornography Facilitator Sentenced to 27 Years in Federal Prison for Conspiracy to Advertise Child Pornography

Millions of Images of Child Exploitation Material Found and Removed from Hosting Service

Greenbelt, Maryland โ€“ U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang today sentenced Eric Eoin Marques, age 36, of Dublin, Ireland, to 27 years in federal prison, followed lifetime supervised release, for conspiracy to advertise child pornography on the dark web. Marques, a dual national citizen of the United States and Ireland, pleaded guilty to that charge on February 6, 2020, after he was extradited by Irish authorities. Marques arrived in the United States on March 23, 2019, to face federal criminal charges filed in Maryland on August 8, 2013.

 

According to his plea agreement, between July 24, 2008 and July 29, 2013, Marques conspired to advertise child pornography by operating a free, anonymous web hosting service (AHS) located on the โ€œdark webโ€, an area of the Internet that is only accessible by means of special software, allowing users and website operators to remain anonymous or untraceable. The defendantโ€™s hosting service hosted websites that allowed users to view and share images documenting the sexual abuse of children, including the abuse of prepubescent minors, violent sexual abuse, and bestiality. The investigation revealed that the hosting service contained over 200 child exploitation websites that housed millions of images of child exploitation material. Over 1.97 million of these images and/or videos involved victims that were not previously known by law enforcement. Many of these images involved sadistic abuse of infants and toddlers to include bondage, bestiality and humiliation to include urination, defecation and vomit.

 

The sentence was announced by Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Jonathan F. Lenzner; Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr. of the Justice Departmentโ€™s Criminal Division; and Assistant Director Calvin Shivers of the FBIโ€™s Criminal Investigative Division.

 

โ€œEric Marques was one of the largest facilitators of child pornography in the world,โ€ said Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Jonathan F. Lenzner. โ€œThis is an egregious case where one individual facilitated the abuse of more than a million new child victims and attempted to keep the abuse hidden on the dark web. We are grateful to our law enforcement partners here and abroad for helping us to bring Eric Marques to justice. We will continue to do everything we can to find and prosecute those who use the anonymity of the Internet to perpetuate the cruel and heartless business of the sexual abuse of children for personal gain, in order to keep our children safe.โ€

 

โ€œTodayโ€™s sentencing of Eric Marques sends a clear message to perpetrators of this egregious crime that no matter where you are in the world, law enforcement will hold you accountable and bring you to justice,โ€ said FBI Assistant Director Calvin Shivers. โ€œThe FBI combats crimes against children and stands up for vulnerable children across the globe.โ€

 

During 2012 and 2013, FBI special agents and employees using computers in Maryland downloaded more than one million files from that website. As part of the investigation, those files were reviewed and nearly all of the files depict children who are engaging in sexually explicit conduct with adults or other children, posed nude and/or in such a manner as to expose their genitals, in various state of undress, or depict child erotica. A substantial majority of the images downloaded by the FBI depict prepubescent minor children who are fully or partially nude or engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

 

Marques admitted in his guilty plea that this offense also involved the distribution of child pornography, which involved minors who were less than twelve years old, to include infants and toddlers, and sadistic or masochistic material or depictions of violence. Marques further admits that he willfully obstructed or impeded the administration of justice with respect to the investigation into this offense.

abuse images and new images from more than 50 existing series); and dozens of offenders were identified and prosecuted throughout the world.

Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Abusive Sexual Contact with a Child Under 12

A man who sexually abused a young child was sentenced Wednesday in federal court.

 

U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell sentenced Travis Dray Stewart, 41, to 240 months in federal prison followed by 10 years of supervised release.

 

Stewart pleaded guilty on May 24, 2021, to abusive sexual contact in Indian Country.

 

In his plea agreement, Stewart admitted to making sexual contact with a child under 12 years of age between June 2003 and September 2005. The U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office charged Stewart after his May 2015 conviction in Tulsa County District Court was overturned due to lack of jurisdiction following the Supreme Courtโ€™s McGirt v Oklahoma decision.

 

โ€œTravis Dray Stewart will spend 20 years in federal prison for harming a young child,โ€ said Acting U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. โ€œThe resulting trauma associated with child sexual abuse is life altering and long lasting. I encourage anyone who is struggling with the trauma of abuse to seek community resources to help in their recovery. No victim should suffer in silence.โ€

SEC Charges App Annie and its Founder with Securities Fraud

Company Will Pay $10 Million to Settle First Enforcement Action Against Alternative Data Provider

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-176

 

Washington D.C., Sept. 14, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that App Annie Inc., a leading alternative data provider for the mobile app industry, and its co-founder and former CEO and Chairman Bertrand Schmitt, have agreed to settle securities fraud charges for engaging in deceptive practices and making material misrepresentations about how App Annie's alternative data was derived. App Annie and Schmitt have agreed to pay more than $10 million to settle the matter, which is the SEC's first enforcement action charging an alternative data provider with securities fraud.

 

According to the SEC's order, App Annie is one of the largest sellers of market data on mobile app performance, including estimates on the number of times a particular company's app is downloaded, how often it's used, and the amount of revenue the app generates for the company. Trading firms commonly refer to this type of information as "alternative data" because it is not contained within companies' financial statements or other traditional data sources. The order finds that App Annie and Schmitt understood that companies would only share their confidential app performance data with App Annie if it promised not to disclose their data to third parties, and as a result App Annie and Schmitt assured companies that their data would be aggregated and anonymized before being used by a statistical model to generate estimates of app performance. Contrary to these representations, the order finds that from late 2014 through mid-2018, App Annie used non-aggregated and non-anonymized data to alter its model-generated estimates to make them more valuable to sell to trading firms.

 

The order further finds that App Annie and Schmitt misrepresented to their trading firm customers that App Annie generated the estimates in a way that was consistent with the consents it obtained from companies that shared their confidential data, and that App Annie had effective internal controls to prevent the misuse of confidential data and to ensure that it was in compliance with the federal securities laws. According to the SEC's order, App Annie and Schmitt were aware that trading firm customers were making investment decisions based on App Annie's estimates, and App Annie also shared ideas for how the trading firms could use the estimates to trade ahead of upcoming earnings announcements.

 

"The federal securities laws prohibit deceptive conduct and material misrepresentations in connection with the purchase or sale of securities," said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC's Enforcement Division. "Here, App Annie and Schmitt lied to companies about how their confidential data was being used and then not only sold the manipulated estimates to their trading firm customers, but also encouraged them to trade on those estimatesโ€”often touting how closely they correlated with the companies' true performance and stock prices."

 

"App Annie sought to distinguish itself in the alternative data space by providing securities market participants with valuable information in a new and innovative way," said Erin E. Schneider, Director of the SEC's San Francisco Regional Office. "It went to great lengths to assure its customers that the financial and app-related data it sold was the product of a sophisticated statistical model and that it had controls to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws. These representations were materially false and misleading."

 

The SEC's order finds that App Annie and Schmitt violated the anti-fraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Without admitting or denying the findings, App Annie and Schmitt consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order under which App Annie is ordered to pay a penalty of $10 million, Schmitt is ordered to pay a penalty of $300,000, and Schmitt is prohibited from serving as an officer or director of a public company for three years.

 

The SEC's investigation was conducted by Sallie Kim, with assistance from Andrew Hefty, under the supervision of Steven Buchholz and Monique C. Winkler of the San Francisco Regional Office. Darren Boerner of the Market Abuse Unit's Analysis and Detection Center and Judy Tran of the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis also assisted the investigation. Division of Examinations staff members Adam Storch of the Event & Emerging Risk Examination Team, and Matthew Harris and Christopher Marino of the Private Funds Unit, conducted examinations that contributed to the investigation.

Press Release

SEC Surpasses $1 Billion in Awards to Whistleblowers with Two Awards Totaling $114 Million

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-177

 

Washington D.C., Sept. 15, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced awards of approximately $110 million and $4 million to two whistleblowers whose information and assistance led to successful SEC and related actions. With these awards, the SEC's whistleblower program has now paid more than $1 billion in awards to 207 whistleblowers, including over $500 million in fiscal year 2021 alone. The $110 million award stands as the second-highest award in the program's history, following the over $114 million whistleblower award the SEC issued in October 2020.

 

"Today's announcement underscores the important role that whistleblowers play in helping the SEC detect, investigate, and prosecute potential violations of the securities laws," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. "The assistance that whistleblowers provide is crucial to the SEC's ability to enforce the rules of the road for our capital markets."

 

"The whistleblower program has been instrumental to the success of numerous enforcement actions since it was instituted a decade ago," said SEC Director of Division of Enforcement Gurbir S. Grewal. "We hope that today's announcement encourages whistleblowers to continue to come forward with credible information about potential violations of the securities laws."

 

The first whistleblower's $110 million award consists of an approximately $40 million award in connection with an SEC case and an approximately $70 million award arising out of related actions by another agency. The first whistleblower provided significant independent analysis that substantially advanced the SEC's and the other agency's investigations. The second whistleblower voluntarily provided original information that led to the successful enforcement action, but this information was provided to the SEC after the staff had opened an investigation and undertaken significant investigative steps, and was much more limited as compared to the information and assistance provided by the first whistleblower.

 

"Whistleblowers can play an extraordinary role in helping the SEC ferret out wrongdoing," said Emily Pasquinelli, Acting Chief of the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower. "Whistleblowers may provide critical information based on their own independent analysis that facilitates the SEC's investigation and the successful resolution of the enforcement action."

 

The SEC has awarded approximately $1 billion to 207 individuals since issuing its first award in 2012. All payments are made out of an investor protection fund established by Congress that is financed entirely through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards. Whistleblowers may be eligible for an award when they voluntarily provide the SEC with original, timely, and credible information that leads to a successful enforcement action. Whistleblower awards can range from 10-30% of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.

 

As set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose any information that could reveal a whistleblower's identity.

Notice on the Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Persons who Commit, or Support Terrorism

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021

โ€ข

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS

On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 etseq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against United States nationals or the United States.

 

On September 9, 2019, the President signed Executive Order 13886 to strengthen and consolidate sanctions to combat the continuing threat posed by international terrorism and to take additional steps to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13224, as amended.

 

The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224, as amended.

 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

A Memorandum for the Secretary of State on Presidential Determination on Major Drug Transit or Major Illicit Drug Producing Countries for Fiscal Year 2022

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021

โ€ข

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 706(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-228) (FRAA), I hereby identify the following countries as major drug transit or major illicit drug producing countries: Afghanistan, The Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Burma, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Laos, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

 

A countryโ€™s presence on the foregoing list is neither a reflection of its governmentโ€™s counterdrug efforts nor level of cooperation with the United States. Consistent with the statutory definition of a major drug transit or major illicit drug producing country set forth in section 481(e)(2) and (5) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (Public Law 87-195) (FAA), the reason countries are placed on the list is the combination of geographic, commercial, and economic factors that allow drugs to be transited or produced, even if a government has engaged in robust and diligent narcotics control and law enforcement measures.

 

Pursuant to section 706(2)(A) of the FRAA, I hereby designate Bolivia and Venezuela as having failed demonstrably to make substantial efforts during the previous 12 months to both adhere to their obligations under international counternarcotics agreements and to take the measures required by section 489(a)(1) of the FAA. Included with this determination are justifications for the designations of Bolivia and Venezuela, as required by section 706(2)(B) of the FRAA. I have also determined, in accordance with provisions of section 706(3)(A) of the FRAA, that United States programs that support Bolivia and Venezuela are vital to the national interests of the United States.

 

The ongoing drug addiction and overdose epidemic in the United States is one of the foremost public health priorities of my Administration, and addressing this epidemic will require both new domestic investments and greater cooperation with foreign partners to target illicit drug suppliers and the criminal organizations that profit from them. While creating our first-year drug policy priorities, my Administration outlined a strategy that includes expanding access to prevention, treatment, evidence-based harm reduction, and recovery support services in order to curb the drug addiction and overdose epidemic. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is an investment in these priorities, committing nearly $4 billion to support behavioral health and substance use disorder programs.

>>14589741

 

My Administrationโ€™s Fiscal Year 2022 Budget request itemizes $10.7 billion to support research, prevention, treatment, evidence-based harm reduction, and recovery support services, with targeted investments to meet the needs of populations at greatest risk for overdose and substance use disorder. The Budget request also includes significant investments to reduce the supply of illicit drugs originating from beyond our borders.

 

The United States is committed to working together with the countries of the Western Hemisphere as neighbors and partners to meet our shared challenges of drug trafficking and use. My Administration will seek to expand cooperation with key partners, such as Mexico and Colombia, to shape a collective and comprehensive response and expand efforts to address the production and trafficking of dangerous synthetic drugs that are responsible for many of our overdose deaths, particularly fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and methamphetamine. In Mexico, we must continue to work together to intensify efforts to dismantle transnational criminal organizations and their networks, increase prosecutions of criminal leaders and facilitators, and strengthen efforts to seize illicit assets. In Bolivia, I encourage the government to take additional steps to safeguard the countryโ€™s licit coca markets from criminal exploitation and reduce illicit coca cultivation that continues to exceed legal limits under Boliviaโ€™s domestic laws for medicinal and traditional use. In addition, the United States will look to expand cooperation with China, India, and other chemical source countries in order to disrupt the global flow of synthetic drugs and their precursor chemicals.

 

You are authorized and directed to submit this designation, with the Bolivia and Venezuela memoranda of justification, under section 706 of the FRAA, to the Congress, and to publish this determination in the Federal Register.

Saratoga County Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Charges

ALBANY, NEW YORK โ€“ Zachary L. Duchesne, age 25, of Stillwater, New York, pled guilty today to seven counts of transportation of child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.

 

The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Antoinette T. Bacon and Matthew Scarpino, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

 

Duchesne admitted to using a Dropbox account to store, possess and view images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children, between December 26, 2017 and June 23, 2019. He admitted to periodically transferring child pornography videos into his Dropbox account, and to using the stored child pornography as a form of โ€œcurrencyโ€ to trade with other people.

 

Duchesne has been in custody since his arrest on July 15, 2020.

 

Duchesne, who has a prior conviction relating to the possession of child pornography, faces at least 15 years and up to 40 years in prison, and at least 5 years of post-imprisonment supervised release, when Senior United States District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy sentences him on January 11, 2022. A defendantโ€™s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and other factors. Duchesne would also have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

 

This case was investigated by HSI, with assistance from the Stillwater Police Department, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Barnett as part of Project Safe Childhood.

Former Wilmington Fire Department Union President Sentenced to 60 Months in Prison for Possessing Child Pornography

 

WILMINGTON, Del. โ€” David C. Weiss, U.S. Attorney, announced today that Joseph J. Leonetti, Jr., Former Union President of the Wilmington Fire Department, was sentenced today to 60 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release. Leonetti pled guilty to one count of possessing child pornography on April 21, 2021. Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly pronounced the sentence.

 

According to publicly filed documents and statements made in open court, law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at Leonettiโ€™s Wilmington residence on June 19, 2020 and seized his personal cellphone. Following a forensic review of that cellphone, investigators found videos and cached images of child pornography. A cache is a reserved storage location that collects temporary data for easy retrieval. Investigators also found that Leonetti had deleted evidence from his phone when he saw law enforcement arrive at his house; namely, Leonetti deleted the Kik applicationโ€“a messenger and group chat application that Leonetti had used to chat in a group dedicated to pedophilia and onto which Leonetti had uploaded a video of child pornography. Last, in the cellphoneโ€™s โ€œNotesโ€ application, investigators found links to folders associated with cloud-based file storage services Dropbox and Mega. The contents of some of these links contained additional child pornography. The child pornography found on the defendantโ€™s cellphone and in the linked folders included depictions of prepubescent minors engaged in various sexual acts and the lascivious exhibition of their genitals.

 

U.S. Attorney Weiss stated, โ€œThe U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the District of Delaware is committed to protecting the most vulnerable among usโ€”our childrenโ€”from the abhorrent shadow industry that produces, distributes, and collects child pornography and from those who lurk in its base marketplace. This Office fulfills its commitment without regard to the occupation or privilege of the wrongdoer. No one is above the law.โ€

 

โ€œMr. Leonetti, while in a position of trust as a Firefighter and Union President for the Wilmington Fire Department, possessed sexually explicit photographs and videos of prepubescent children,โ€ said Brian A. Michael, Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security Investigations, Philadelphia. โ€œAlthough we are pleased with the sentence handed down today, the lives of these children have been tragically impacted by the defendantsโ€™ actions. No sentence will reverse the physical and mental abuse that they have endured. Homeland Security Investigations will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute any person whose actions fuel a demand for this sexual abuse and exploitation.โ€

 

Homeland Security Investigations investigated this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Graham L. Robinson prosecuted the case.

Case Update: President Donald J. Trump's Lawsuit Against Big Tech

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021

Last week, Twitter Inc. and Jack Dorsey filed a Motion to transfer venue to the Northern District of California in the case pending in the Southern District of Florida, Judge Robert N. Scola presiding.

 

This move aligns with Big Techโ€™s predictable response strategy that President Trumpโ€™s legal team has been prepared for. Their response will make a unique set of legal arguments as to why this case should remain in the Southern District of Florida, and the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) believes they will be successful in this effort. Itโ€™s time to deny Twitter the unfair advantage of Silicon Valley judges who have time and time again protected the Section 230 immunity granted to these social media behemoths.

 

In support of the Florida Attorney General, AFPI also filed its first amicus brief, weighing in on the constitutionality of Floridaโ€™s Social Media law. Netchoice, LLC v. State of Florida was declared unconstitutional at the District Court level, and the case is now pending before the 11th Circuit for a review of the lower courtโ€™s decision.

 

The America First Policy Institute remains committed to fighting against Big Tech and ensuring all voices are heard and represented. Share your Big Tech censorship story or sign up for case updates on these historic efforts at TakeOnBigTech.com.

Richmond Man Pleads Guilty To Producing Child Pornography

 

Defendant Recorded Videos of his Sexual Intercourse with a 16 Year Old Minor

 

OAKLAND โ€“ Ranbir Singh pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court in Oakland to the production of child pornography, announced Acting United States Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King.

 

In his plea agreement, Singh, 47, of Richmond, admitted that on March 13, 2013, he had sexual intercourse in an Alameda County hotel room with a female whom he knew to be 16 years old at the time. The plea agreement describes that Singh set up a video camera in the hotel room before the intercourse began. Singh admitted that he persuaded the minor female to engage in sexual intercourse for the purpose of recording it. He made multiple video recordings of his sex with the minor female over the next several hours. At one point the minor female protested the ongoing sexual intercourse, but Singh continued despite her protests. During the recordings of the sexual acts, Singh admitted that he positioned the camera so that the video would record the sexual acts.

 

Singh also admitted in his plea agreement that earlier, in January 2013, he video recorded the same minor female sitting in a carโ€™s backseat with her hands restrained behind her back by handcuffs. She was topless.

 

Singh further admitted that in May 2013 he traveled with a different minor female to a casino hotel in Placer County. Singh admits that he knew this female was a minor. The plea agreement describes that in a hotel room at the casino Singh had sexual intercourse with the minor female, after he showed her a video he recorded depicting his sexual intercourse with the minor female in the Alameda County hotel room on March 13, 2013.

 

The initial federal charges were brought against Singh in a complaint filed March 1, 2021. The complaint reflects that the investigation began when the two minor female victims came forward, though initially they did not know Singhโ€™s true name, and later developed when the sexually explicit videos were discovered.

 

Singh was indicted on March 23, 2021, on the charge of production of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2251(a). The maximum penalty for a violation of production of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2251(a) is imprisonment for 30 years, with a minimum mandatory term of imprisonment of 15 years, and a fine of $250,000. However, any sentence will be imposed by a court only after the courtโ€™s consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. ยง 3553.

 

Singhโ€™s sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 8, 2021, in Oakland federal court before the Honorable Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr., United States District Judge. Singh remains in custody awaiting sentencing.

 

Jonathan U. Lee is the Assistant U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting the case, with the assistance of Leeya Kekona, Kay Konopaske, and Kathleen Turner. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and the Richmond Police Department.

Tโ€™S HAPPENING: WENDY ROGERS ANNOUNCES ARIZONA ELECTION AUDIT RELEASE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 24TH

BY: IAN MACDONALD ON: SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 IN: CAMPAIGNS

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers has announced the release date of the 2020 election audit that was done for Maricopa County, Arizona. A lot of time and effort has gone into this audit.

 

Many Arizonans and others around the nation have been waiting with bated breath, some have been impatient, others skeptical, and many have been patient.

 

Rogers and Arizona State Rep Mark Finchem have already seen some of the internal data and called for a recall of the election. This has lead to much controversy and some legal experts saying that it is impossible to do, no matter what the recall shows. Finchem is also running for Secretary of State and recently garnered the endorsement of former President Trump. It is likely that his efforts towards election integrity helped in that regard.

 

Rogers just tweeted this out moments ago:

 

โ€œThe date to release the audit results is next Friday Sept 24th at 1 pm on the Senate floor. Because we have no hearing rooms it will be presented to Chairman Petersen and Senate President Fann. Gallery will be open to public.โ€

 

Earlier, Rogers posted photos of all the election audit veterans. This has been a very long and tedious process, that many surely appreciate, no matter what the outcome, or if the outcome affects anything. That doesnโ€™t mean there arenโ€™t very specific desires for those waiting for the outcome, including many Republicans and Trump supporters.

 

Whether there was widespread fraud, or just scattered fraud here and there though, doesnโ€™t change the fact that Republicans see mail-in voting and a way for Democrats to get more votes, since mail-in voting seems to favor Democrats.

 

Perhaps the Supreme Court will eventually take a look if the right case is presented to them. The Supreme Court was not able to do anything about the 2020 election though, despite an amicus brief out of Texas that tried to have them take action, that many states signed on to.

 

The thing with the Supreme Court is this, they canโ€™t take action unless the correct legal case is brought before them. Meanwhile, Rogers and her crew continue to take heat, although the election integrity team in Arizona appears to remain undeterred:

 

โ€œLooks like a #SorosMemo went out to all of the paid #FakeNews to attack the volunteer audit reunion last night. Never trust the #MockingbirdMedia. These geniuses donโ€™t realize that the counting portion done by the volunteers is done. These people are enemies of the Republic.โ€

 

We reported back in July that Rogers called for electors to be recalled in part:

 

America First Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers (R) called for the Arizona electors to be recalled for Joe Biden after calling them โ€œfraudulentโ€.

 

โ€œI have heard enough. With the tens of thousands of ballots mailed without being requested, the over ten thousand people who voted after registering after November 3rd, the failure of Maricopa to turn over the 40% machines, the passwords that Dominion still refuses to turn over, & tens of thousands of unauthorized queries demonstrating how insecure the election was, I call for the Biden electors to be recalled to Arizona & a new election must be conducted. Arizonaโ€™s electors must not be awarded fraudulently & we need to get this right.โ€

 

Stay tuned to Media Right News as we stand by for September 24th, to see what happens, and anything critical that occurs before then as we are able to.

Washington County man charged with crimes related to bringing minor across state lines to engage in sex acts

COLUMBUS, Ohio โ€“ A Lower Salem, Ohio, man was arrested today on federal charges that he produced child pornography and brought a West Virginian minor to his cabin in Washington County to engage in illicit sex acts.

 

 

James A. Sabolick, 56, appeared in federal court in Columbus this afternoon.

 

 

According to court documents, Marietta police officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle that Sabolick was driving on July 24, 2021. It is alleged that Sabolick was attempting to conceal a person in his vehicle during that traffic stop when he initially indicated to law enforcement that he was alone. Officers then discovered a minor in the back seat of Sabolickโ€™s vehicle.

 

 

An affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint details that Sabolick allegedly drove the minor from West Virginia to a cabin near his residence in Washington County, Ohio, for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct.

 

 

Further investigation conducted by the Southeastern Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force at the Washington County Sheriffโ€™s Office alleges Sabolick engaged in various sex acts with the minor. Those included acts involving abuse such as needle pokes, lighter burns, restraints, strangulation, and urination. Items recovered from Sabolickโ€™s hunting cabin and vehicle included panty hose, lubricant, and a box of t-pins.

 

 

It is also alleged that during the course of these sex acts and acts of abuse, the defendant photographed the minor victim. Agents allegedly discovered images of child pornography depicting the minor victim on Sabolickโ€™s cell phone. In addition, numerous images of child exploitation material were also recovered when conducting federal search warrants and forensic analysis on his electronic device.

 

 

Sabolick is charged in the federal criminal complaint with traveling interstate to engage in illicit sexual conduct (punishable by up to 30 years in prison), producing child pornography (which carries a sentencing range of 15 to 30 years in prison) and possessing child pornography (a federal crime punishable up to 10 years in prison).

 

 

Vipal J. Patel, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio; Vance Callender, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks and Marietta Police Chief Aaron Nedeff announced the charges. Assistant United States Attorney Emily Czerniejewski is representing the United States in this case.

 

 

The case was investigated by both the Southeastern Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force and the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, which are operated under Ohio Attorney General Dave Yostโ€™s Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission.

 

 

A criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

SEC Charges School District and Former Executive with Misleading Investors in Bond Offering

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-178

Washington D.C., Sept. 16, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a San Diego County school district, Sweetwater Union High School District, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Karen Michel, with misleading investors who purchased $28 million in municipal bonds.

 

According to the SEC's complaint against Michel and its order against Sweetwater, in April 2018, Sweetwater and Michel provided investors with misleading budget projections that indicated the district could cover its costs and would end the fiscal year with a general fund balance of approximately $19.5 million, when in reality the district was engaged in significant deficit spending and on track to a negative $7.2 million ending fund balance. The order finds that Michel managed the bond offering for the district and was aware of reports showing that the projections were untenable and contradicted by known actual expenses. Nevertheless, as stated in the order, Sweetwater and Michel included the projections in the April 2018 bonds' offering documents and also provided them to a credit rating agency that rated the district, while omitting that the projections were contradicted by internal reports and did not account for actual expenses. Additionally, the complaint alleges that Michel signed multiple certifications falsely attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the information included in the offering documents.

 

"As the order finds, Sweetwater and Michel presented stale and misleading financial information as current and accurate," said LeeAnn G. Gaunt, Chief of the Division of Enforcement's Public Finance Abuse Unit. "The SEC will continue to address deceptive conduct that prevents municipal bond investors from getting an accurate picture of the financial risks of their investments."

 

The SEC's complaint against Michel, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, charges her with violating Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Michel agreed to settle with the SEC and to be enjoined from future violations of the charged provision as well as from participating in any future municipal securities offerings. She also agreed to pay a $28,000 penalty. The settlement is subject to court approval. Sweetwater also agreed to settle with the SEC and consented, without admitting or denying any findings, to the entry of an SEC order finding that it violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, and requiring it to engage an independent consultant to evaluate its policies and procedures related to its municipal securities disclosures.

 

For further information about the SEC's enforcement actions involving fraud charges in connection with bond issuances by or on behalf of schools and colleges, see SEC v. Park View School, Inc. (D.

Former Teacher Sentenced to 41 Years for Sexually Exploiting Students

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. โ€“ A Springfield, Missouri, man who worked as a teacher in China was sentenced in federal court today for sexually exploiting one of his former students by attempting to blackmail her into sending him pornographic images.

 

Curtis J. Baldwin, 48, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 41 years and eight months in federal prison without parole. The Court also sentenced Baldwin to spend the rest of his life on supervised release after incarceration.

 

On Oct. 5, 2020, Baldwin pleaded guilty to one count of the sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of receiving and distributing child pornography.

 

Baldwin worked as an English language teacher in China. Baldwin left his employment on Nov. 20, 2019. After he returned to Springfield, he contacted a 12-year-old former student, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, via the WeChat application. Baldwin told Jane Doe he had video footage that showed her engaged in sexually explicit conduct and threatened to post the video on the Internet unless she sent him additional images and a video of herself engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Jane Doeโ€™s father saw the WeChat messages and contacted authorities at the language school, who relayed the information to the FBI for investigation.

 

On March 10, 2020, federal agents executed a search warrant at Baldwinโ€™s residence. Multiple items were seized, including Baldwinโ€™s Apple MacBook Pro, which contained files of child pornography. Multiple videos of minor Chinese females engaged in sexually explicit conduct that had been produced by Baldwin were among the files. The minor Chinese females were students of Baldwin. The files also contained a sexually explicit video titled โ€œMy First Project,โ€ created by Baldwin of a minor female in Springfield.

 

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ami Harshad Miller. It was investigated by the FBI and the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crime Task Force.

Omaha Man Sentenced for Possession of Child Pornography

Acting United States Attorney Jan Sharp announced the Corey J. Collmann, 38, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced today in federal court in Omaha for possession of child pornography. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Collmann to 48 monthsโ€™ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, Collmann will begin a 5-year term of supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender.

 

An investigation conducted by the Omaha FBI's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force determined that between September 30, 2017 and October 2, 2017, Yahoo! Inc., a company located outside the State of Nebraska, identified multiple images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct that were uploaded using one of their services, known as Flickr.

 

Yahoo! Inc. provided to law enforcement the account, an email address, and IP address, of the user who uploaded the images of the minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The FBI obtained information related to the IP addresses, which ultimately identified Collmannโ€™s residence in Omaha, Nebraska.

 

On February 23, 2018, the FBI executed a search warrant of Collmannโ€™s residence and seized his cellular phone and a tablet. Forensic analysis of the devices identified approximately 50 images of minors, at least one as young as 3 years old, engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

 

At the time of the search warrant, Collmann admitted to law enforcement that he used the Yahoo! Inc. Flickr application and that he had viewed child exploitive images.

 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneysโ€™ Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Grayson County Man Indicted for Child Pornography Violations

SHERMAN, Texas โ€“ A Sherman man has been indicted on federal child pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei today.

 

Jeffrey L. Walters, 52, was named in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Sherman charging him with receipt of child pornography. Walters pleaded not guilty to the charges at an initial appearance in federal court on Sep. 15, 2021, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Christine A. Nowak.

 

According to court documents, Walters came to the attention of law enforcement as someone who communicated with others about his interest in child pornography. Through a joint investigation by Homeland Security Investigations-Dallas and the Grayson County Sheriffโ€™s Office, law enforcement obtained a laptop and cellular phone owned and used by Walters. Forensic analysis of the laptop revealed that Walters had received child pornography, using the Internet, on multiple dates. The child pornography depicted prepubescent children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including depictions of sadistic and masochistic abuse.

 

This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneysโ€™ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.

 

If convicted, Walters faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

 

This case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Grayson County Sheriffโ€™s Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marisa Miller.

 

A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida is dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and abuse. Internet predators, child pornographers, and individuals who recruit and coerce children into prostitution in our cities or who travel abroad to sexually abuse foreign children shatter lives and rob youth of their innocence. This Office is committed to aggressively prosecuting individuals who sexually abuse and exploit children.

 

In 2006, the Department of Justice launched Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a national initiative to coordinate federal, state, and local resources to prevent and interdict child exploitation and abuse. The USAO/MDFL's PSC program consists of five components:

 

Coordinating federal, state, and local efforts to investigate and prosecute child exploitation cases, and to identify and rescue child victims

Participating in coordinated national initiatives

Increasing federal involvement in child exploitation cases

Training federal, state and local law enforcement

Increasing community awareness and education about the threats to children and ways to prevent child exploitation.

Collaboration, cooperation and communication are the key components of our effort to facilitate the investigation and prosecution of child exploitation cases. Cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies ensures that the most serious crimes are investigated and that the most dangerous offenders receive the greatest punishment. This Office also seeks to raise the public's awareness about the threat of online sexual predators, by providing tools and information to educators, parents and children to reduce the likelihood of harm to children and to encourage them to report possible violations. Since the inception of the PSC program, this Office has worked closely with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, the FBI's Innocent Images Task Force, the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Task Force, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), to investigate and prosecute child exploitation crimes, and to provide and promote public outreach and awareness programs.

 

Any questions or suggestions regarding the USAO/MDFL 's PSC program can be directed to Assistant United States Attorney and PSC Coordinator, D. Rodney Brown in the Jacksonville Office.

Guided by the leadership of the Attorney General, Project Safe Childhood (PSC) aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children. The threat of sexual predators soliciting children for physical sexual contact is well-known and serious; the danger of the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography is equally dramatic and disturbing. The response to these growing problems must be coordinated, comprehensive, and robust. It must aim to investigate and prosecute vigorously, and protect and assist victimized children. At the same time, it must recognize the need for a broad, community-based effort to protect our children and to guarantee to future generations the opportunities of the American dream.

Project Safe Childhood will be implemented through a partnership of U.S. Attorneys, ICAC Task Forces, and other federal, state, and local law enforcement officials in each district to investigate and prosecute crimes against children facilitated through the Internet or other electronic media and communications devices. Communities will be able to design and execute programs tailored specially for their individual needs while maximizing national resources and expertise. There are five key components to this initiative:

 

Integrated federal, state, and local efforts to investigate and prosecute child exploitation cases: Each U.S. Attorney will partner with ICAC Task Forces that exist within his or her district and other federal, state, and local law enforcement partners working in the district to implement Project Safe Childhood. Working with these partners, U.S. Attorneys will develop district-specific strategic plans to coordinate the investigation and prosecution of child exploitation crimes; efforts to identify and rescue victims; and local training, educational, and awareness programs.

Major case coordination by the Criminal Division: The Departmentโ€™s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, in conjunction with the FBIโ€™s Innocent Images Unit, will fully integrate the Project Safe Childhood Task Forces into pursuing local leads generated from its major national operations.

Increased federal involvement in child pornography and enticement cases: Given the beneficial investigative tools and stiffer punishment available under federal law, U.S. Attorneys and the federal investigative agencies will be expected to increase the number of sexual exploitation investigations and prosecutions. The goal is to ensure the worst offenders get the maximum amount of jail time possible.

Training of federal, state, and local law enforcement: Members of the Project Safe Childhood Task Forces will attend training programs facilitated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the ICAC program, and other ongoing programs, in order to be taught to investigate and prosecute computer-facilitated crimes against children, as well as to pursue leads from national operations and from NCMECโ€™s CyberTipline and Child Victim-Identification programs.

Community awareness and educational programs: Project Safe Childhood will partner with existing national public awareness and educational programs that exist through NCMEC and the ICAC Task Force program, in order to raise national awareness about the threat of online sexual predators and to provide the tools and information to parents and youngsters seeking to report possible violatio

Repeat Sex Offender Sentenced To 30 Years in Federal Prison for Enticement of a Minor to Engage in Unlawful Sexual Activity

Baltimore Man Posed as Female and Male Teenage Minors on Social Media to Entice Teenage Boys to Send Sexually Explicit Images and Threatened to Kill Minor Victims if They Did Not Comply with His Demands

Baltimore, Maryland โ€“ U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake sentenced Jeffrey Cummings, age 36, of Baltimore, Maryland to 30 years in federal prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for a federal charge for enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity during a period of time when Cummings was required to register as a sex offender. Judge Blake also ordered that, upon his release from prison, Cummings must continue to register as a sex offender in the places where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). Cummings has been detained since his arrest on July 19, 2019.

 

The sentence was announced by Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Jonathan F. Lenzner; Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Sobocinski of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Baltimore Field Office; and Postal Inspector in Charge Daniel A. Adame of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service - Washington Division.

 

According to his plea agreement, from March 2017 to July 2019, Cummings attempted to coerce dozens of minor victims to engage in sexually explicit conduct on a popular social media platform. Using a smartphone and computers, Cummings communicated with at least six minor victims. During that time, Cummings was required to register as a sex offender, as the result of a 2008 conviction in Anne Arundel County, Maryland for sexual contact with a 10-year-old boy.

 

"Cummings was a repeat sex offender who preyed on children, deceiving them to send him illegal images, and threatening to kill them if they refused to complyโ€, said Acting U.S. Attorney Jonathan F. Lenzner. โ€œWe hope this sentence will deter others like Cummings from victimizing children, and we hope this case will remind parents that there are predators, like this defendant, lurking on the internet. Every parent should familiarize themselves with the social media platforms their children may use and their online contacts. Educate your child on the dangers of communicating with persons online, even those that may seem non-threatening, and how to report suspicious persons to an adult."

 

โ€œOnline safety for todayโ€™s children is constantly changing as advancing technology poses new risksโ€, said Inspector in Charge Daniel A. Adame, Washington Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. โ€œPostal Inspectors continue their long tradition of working with our law enforcement partners to investigate those predators who seek to sexually exploit children.โ€

 

The investigation into Cummingsโ€™ illegal conduct began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a CyberTip from a guardian of two minor boys. The guardian alerted authorities to a suspicious individual who had contacted her minor nephews on the internet and asked the minor boys to send dirty socks in the mail.

 

According to his plea agreement, from March 2017 through July 2019, Cummings operated multiple social media accounts using a variety of aliases, including elaborate, false female personas, to communicate with minor boys under the false pretense that he was a minor girl. Using his accounts, Cummings coerced and enticed at least six minor male victims, ranging in age from 13 to 16 years old, to send Cummings pictures and videos of themselves engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Cummings also admitted that he further distributed some of the sexually explicit photos received from the victims.

 

As detailed in the plea agreement, during his conversations with the victims, Cummings, posing as a teenage girl, requested the victims to send โ€œherโ€ a sexually explicit photograph or video. Thinking that they were communicating with a teenage girl, and often after Cummings sent the victims pictures of a teenage girl purported to be pictures of โ€œherself,โ€ including nude images of a pubescent femaleโ€™s genital area, at least five of the minor victims sent Cummings sexually explicit images of themselves.

 

Throughout his conversations with several of the victims, Cummings requested that the victims send him their previously worn socks by mail. Cummings claimed that they were for a โ€œscience project,โ€ and even offered one victim โ€œ$20 a pairโ€.

>>14603401

If the victims declined to comply with Cummingsโ€™ demands, he threatened the victims including death threats, threatening to publicly post the victimsโ€™ home addresses, distribute the victimsโ€™ sexually explicit videos to their teachers and school, or post the victimsโ€™ sexually explicit videos to social media. For example, in a group chat that included a minor boy and at least two of Cummingsโ€™ alias social media accounts, Cummings threatened to publicly post a sexually explicit video of a minor victim if the victim did not meet his demands. Despite the minor boyโ€™s objections, Cummings subsequently posted the video to a group chat on a social media platform. Using his alias accounts, Cummings continued to taunt the minor boy and threatened to post the victimโ€™s video and address online and send the video to the victimโ€™s teachers.

 

Law enforcement executed a search warrant at Cummingsโ€™ residence on July 19, 2019, and seized his cell phone, which contained images of child pornography, including sexually explicit images of the victims. The phone also had accessed several of Cummingsโ€™ alias social media accounts. After his arrest that same day, Cummings agreed to speak with investigators. Cummings made numerous statements attributing exchanges of nude photos on social media and the solicitation of dirty socks for a sexual fetish to his teenage son, stating that he had two sons, ages 15 and nine, who lived with his mother in Pennsylvania. Further, Cummings stated that he asked his brother to pick up socks from his post office box and deliver them to his son in Pennsylvania. In fact, Cummings is an only child, has not fathered or raised any children, and his mother has never raised or kept any children for Cummings.

Acting United States Attorney Jonathan F. Lenzner commended the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and FBI for their work in the investigation, and thanked the Baltimore Police Department for its assistance. Mr. Lenzner thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mary W. Setzer and Christine L. Duey, who are prosecuting the federal case, and recognized Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Myers for his assistance.

Caldwell Man Sentenced to Over 24 Years in Prison for Producing Child Pornography

BOISE โ€“ Conrad James Hull, 30, was sentenced to 292 months in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a child, Acting U.S. Attorney Rafael M. Gonzalez, Jr. announced today. Senior U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Hull to serve 25 years of supervised release following his prison sentence. As a result of his conviction, Hull will be required to register as a sex offender. Hull pleaded guilty to the charges on June 28, 2021.

 

According to court records, in October 2020, the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received a Cybertip from Kik Messenger. According to the Cybertip, child pornography had been uploaded to a Kik account that was later identified as belonging to Hull.

 

A state magistrate judge issued a search warrant for Hullโ€™s residence in Caldwell. Law enforcement executed the search warrant and seized a cellphone belonging to Hull. A forensic examination of the cellphone revealed several files of child pornography, including files depicting a 5-year-old child and a 7-year-old child that Hull admitted producing. Hull told law enforcement that he used his cellphone to take explicit images of the two children so that he would have more files to trade on Kik. Hull admitted to distributing the images of the two children to obtain additional files of child pornography.

 

Acting U.S. Attorney Gonzalez commended the cooperative efforts of the ICAC Task Force, Caldwell Police Department, and the Canyon County Prosecutorโ€™s Office, which led to charges.

As part of his supervision terms, Dealyโ€™s cellphone was equipped with software that monitored his cellphone activity.

 

In February 2020, Dealyโ€™s probation officer learned he was using his cellphone to communicate with minors using a livestream video application. The probation officer referred the investigation to a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). In reviewing information that had been created by the monitoring software on Dealyโ€™s cellphone, the HSI special agent located evidence that Dealy had communicated, or attempted to communicate, with seven minor children and asked them to send him explicit images of themselves or undress for the camera.

 

Judge Winmill also ordered Dealy to forfeit the cellphone that was used to commit the offense. As a result of the conviction, Dealy will be required to register as a sex offender.

 

Acting U.S. Attorney Gonzalez commended the cooperative efforts of Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Probation Office, which led to charges.

WASHINGTON, September 19. /TASS/. Moscow and Washington have achieved some tangible results in terms of cyber security dialogue, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov told reporters on Sunday.

 

In response to a TASS question about progress in cyber security consultations, the envoy pointed out that "our American colleagues are currently trying to focus on the ransom aspect of cybersecurity issues." "The issue does exist. The problem requires us to cooperate in figuring out where these attacks come from and who attackers are," the envoy added.

 

"I can tell you that the first tangible steps in this direction have been taken and some small specific results have been achieved. However, as we usually say, most of the work is yet to be done," Antonov stressed.

WASHINGTON, September 19. /TASS/. White House officials have requested Moscow to provide additional information on US interference in Russian elections and promised to investigate it, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov told reporters on Sunday.

 

"As for election interference, there indeed are such facts," he said. "As you know, Moscow summoned the [US] ambassador. For my part, I can say that we did not just send a note, I held meetings on the matter at the White House on Friday, where we pointed out to our colleagues that such actions against Russian elections were unacceptable. Besides, our minister counsellor visited the US Department of State on Friday, clarifying our complaints concerning US actions," Antonov noted.

 

"At least, the Americans, the White House, requested specific data on the matter that they promised to investigate," the Russian envoy added.

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned US Ambassador to Moscow John Sullivan on September 10 for a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. According to the ministry, the Russian diplomat provided the US envoy with evidence proving that US tech giants violated Russian laws ahead of the elections, and emphasized that interference in Russiaโ€™s domestic affairs was unacceptable.

MOSCOW, September 20. /TASS/. Moscow may impose sanctions on the countries from where cyberattacks on Russian websites came during the State Duma elections, Federation Council (the upper house of parliament) Speaker Valentina Matviyenko told TV host Vladimir Solovyov on Sunday.

 

"The number of hacking attacks has grown significantly, which particular target the Central Election Commission's website. The reason is clear. After the election, we definitely will request these countries to look into this issue," she pointed out. When asked if sanctions could be imposed on those countries, Matviyenko said: "If there are grounds to do so, I think, we could take that path."

 

The speaker of the Russian parliamentโ€™s upper house noted the "unprecedented foreign interference" into this yearโ€™s elections to the State Duma.

 

"Unprecedented foreign interference was observed this time. Notably, [it began] when the elections were a distant prospect," she told the โ€˜Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyevโ€™ TV show. "Good thing that we have legal instruments to fight attempts to meddle with our countryโ€™s sovereign affairs. We all know who tried to interfere and in which format."

 

CEC chief Ella Pamfilova earlier pointed to unprecedented cyberattacks on the commission's website during the elections. Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, in turn, said that cyberattacks had not had any significant impact on Russian systems.

20-826 BROWN V. DAVENPORT

DECISION BELOW: 964 F.3d 448

CERT. GRANTED 4/5/2021

QUESTION PRESENTED:

In Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U.S. 619 (1993), the Court held that the test for

determining whether a constitutional error was harmless on habeas review is whether

the defendant suffered "actual prejudice." Congress later enacted 28 U.S.C. ยง 2254(d)

(1), which prohibits habeas relief on a claim that was adjudicated on the merits by a

state court unless the adjudication "resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or

involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law." Although the

Court has held that the Brecht test "subsumes" ยง 2254(d)(1)'s requirements, the Court

declared in Davis v. Ayala, 576 U.S. 257, 267 (2015), that those requirements are still a

"precondition" for relief and that a state-court harmlessness determination under

Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 (1967), still retains "significance" under the Brecht

test. The question presented is:

May a federal habeas court grant relief based solely on its conclusion that the

Brecht test is satisfied, as the Sixth Circuit held, or must the court also find that the

state court's Chapman application was unreasonable under

ยง 2254(d)(1), as the Second, Third, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have held?

2) Mississippi also takes exception to, and this Court should decline to adopt, the

components of the Special Masterโ€™s report and recommendation, including the

following:

a) The Special Masterโ€™s failure to properly consider and apply the foundational

Constitutional principles of State retained sovereign territorial authority raised by

Mississippiโ€™s Complaint in Original Action filed with leave of the Court.

b) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous adoption and use of an interstate resource

classification not found in the United States Constitution, any federal law enacted by

Congress under the Constitution, or ever recognized by the Court

c) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous interpretation of Supreme Court case law

defining the nature, scope, and limits of retained State territorial sovereignty in

disputes between States under the Constitution.

d) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous interpretation of the nature, scope, and application

of federal common law under the Constitution generally, and specifically of the

equitable remedy created in Kansas v. Colorado, 206 U.S. 46 (1907), and its

progeny for disputes between States involving interstate rivers and streams.

e) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous reading of the Courtโ€™s case law as creating a right

under federal common law authorizing unlimited cross-border groundwater pumping

by a State in the absence of any approval by the State from which the groundwater is

being pumped.

f) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous conclusion that Defendantsโ€™ groundwater

pumping did not constitute a serious violation and invasion of Mississippiโ€™s

sovereignty and unlawful interference with Mississippiโ€™s exclusive authority over all

soils, lands and waters located in Mississippi.

>>14618584

g) The Special Masterโ€™s erroneous conclusion that groundwater found within

Mississippiโ€™s borders is an interstate natural resource which Mississippi has no

authority to regulate, control, or protect from cross-border pumping by neighboring

States.

h) The Special Masterโ€™s failure to recognize and apply the limits of Tennesseeโ€™s

authority in relation to its sister States under the United States Constitution.

EXCEPTION IN PART OF DEFENDANTS TO REPORT OF THE SPECIAL MASTER

The Special Master correctly rejected Mississippiโ€™s claims and recommended the

dismissal of its Complaint. But the Special Master also recommended that the Court

dismiss โ€œwith leave to amend the complaint to include a claim for equitable

apportionment.โ€ Rep. 26; see Rep. 2 (similar). Because leave to amend would conflict

with core original-jurisdiction principles and create undue prejudice, Defendants except

to the Special Masterโ€™s recommendation on that narrow point. The Court should thus

adopt the Special Masterโ€™s recommendations except for his conclusion that Mississippi

should receive โ€œleave to amend the complaint.โ€ Rep. 26.

MOSCOW, September 20. /TASS/. The Russian State Duma (lower parliament house) commission for probing into facts of foreign interference into Russiaโ€™s domestic affairs will request the Prosecutor Generalโ€™s Office of Russia to deem over 20 foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) undesirable, the commissionโ€™s chair Vasily Piskarev said on Monday.

 

"During the election campaign, a number of foreign non-governmental organizations (over 20 in total) openly called upon Facebook, Twitter and Google to take no notice of the authoritiesโ€™ instructions and to ignore the Russian legislation about deleting prohibited content," he said. "The commission has prepared a request to the Prosecutor Generalโ€™s Office of Russia, suggesting to deem those NGOs undesirable on the territory of Russia," the commissionโ€™s Telegram channel quoted Piskarev as saying.

 

According to Piskarev, Western corporations and NGOs attempted to affect the outcome of the elections in Russia.

 

"It was a well-planned campaign to spread hints and impose certain electoral preferences upon Russians," the lawmaker added.

 

In his words, foreign non-governmental organizations were spreading fake reports about the electoral process in the country.

 

"During the voting days, foreign NGOs were spreading fake information about the elections in Russia. This applies primarily to information released by the Golos movement, deemed a foreign agent," he said. "Besides, there were also facts of provocators being trained abroad to stage incidents during the vote."

 

The lawmaker added that the commission has obtained information about direct (financial) and indirect (guidance and instructions) foreign support for Golos, "aimed at discrediting the elections."

 

A campaign to discredit the elections in Russia is being waged in the media of the United States, the United Kingdom and other Western countries, Piskarev said.

 

"Long before the elections were to begin, Western media launched a campaign of hostile anti-Russian propaganda aimed at discrediting the electoral system of our country," he continued.

 

According to the lawmaker, the biggest number of hostile media reports was registered in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Czech Republic.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 20. /TASS/. The latest elections in Russia were organized on the supreme level, and, from this point of view, Western countries have something to learn from Russia, a European Parliament member from France, Jean-Lin Lacapelle, said after monitoring the elections in Russiaโ€™s second largest city of St. Petersburg.

 

"I note with satisfaction that the organization was at the supreme level," Lacapelle said, summing up the results of his three-day observation of voting at various polling stations in St. Petersburg. "There are even some things that the West should learn from you."

 

"I would like to particularly note measures taken to ensure the participation of persons with limited mobility: at-home vote was available, as well as various technologies allowing them to cast their ballot directly at the polling station. I think that this is something we can learn from."

 

The head of the delegation of foreign observers, European Parliament member Thierry Mariani, said that security measures at polling stations in Russia are becoming more and more serious.

 

"For example, there are cameras everywhere now. Very often, no such security measures are taken in other states. For example, we have no cameras in France," he said.

 

"We noted that, regretfully, the turnout was not high, but this tendency can be observed everywhere," Mariani said.

 

Mariani stressed that he and his colleagues arrived to Russia in their personal capacity, not as members of the European Parliament.

 

French senator Stephane Ravier, in turn, said he saw "a truly democratic electoral process" in St. Petersburg.

 

European Parliament member Herve Juvin said the group of foreign observers visited about two dozens of polling stations and met with representatives of various political parties.

 

"I would like to note that <โ€ฆI saw no violations with my own eyes at the polling stations that we visited, and received no reports about them," he said.

This documentary is about real players behind the scenes whoโ€™s names never come up but should. According to these two whistleblowers, a small group of government contractors were hired by government officials to frame the Trump campaign, set him up for the โ€œRussia Collusionโ€ investigation, provided witnesses for the impeachment hearings, and provide administrative support services to the Department of Justice during the Mueller Investigation.

 

They also allege that this same group of contractors are behind the fake news in mainstream media, influence operations on social media, and the civil unrest nation wide pushing the defund the police movement.

 

These contractors have used their connections, power and influence to create an unprecedented international criminal enterprise where blackmail is traded and peopleโ€™s personal data is gold.

 

Since the release of this documentary, several of the government contracting companies mentioned have been removing pages from their websites.

The first installment of Shadow Gate demonstrated that the shadow government consists of government contractors; defense, intelligence, security, and so on.

 

When the first trailer was aired, a little known Anonymizer project called ION 2 was scrapped.

 

On the day Shadow Gate had an early release, a well planned targeted smear campaign by media outlets and social media influencers was launched to distract away from the subtle panic the military industrial complex was going through in the background.

 

The websites of Dynology, Jones Group International, and ClearForce weโ€™re removed, modified, and changed in what appears to be a cover-up.

 

But why? What was so dangerous about Shadow Gate and our whistleblowers that the documentary created such a knee-jerk reaction? That is the subject of this documentary.

Marion Man Pleads Guilty to Distribution of Child Pornography

 

ABINGDON, Va. โ€“ A Marion, Virginia man pleaded guilty last week to using the online messaging service KIK to distribute child sex abuse materials featuring prepubescent females.

 

According to court documents, Travis Shane Smith, 38, was identified by an undercover law enforcement officer working out of Wisconsin between May 4, 2020 and June 3, 2020, as being a member of a known child pornography online chat room.

 

Smith used the KIK username โ€œtman_1983โ€ to distribute child sex materials onto a KIK chatroom messaging board. Specifically, Smith distributed four videos of prepubescent females engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including two videos of adult males having sex with prepubescent females.

 

โ€œDistributing videos depicting the sexual abuse of children perpetuates their trauma and abuse, and simply will not be tolerated,โ€ Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel P. Bubar stated today. โ€œIt remains a top priority of our office to investigate and prosecute those who seek to victimize children. We appreciate the good work of our federal, state and local partners, who brought Smith to justice.โ€

 

โ€œThe FBI and our investigative partners are dedicated to protecting these victims, who become pawns in this world of online sexual exploitation; and will work together to identify and prosecute these criminals,โ€ said Stanley M. Meador. Special Agent in Charge of the FBIโ€™s Richmond Division. โ€œThere are resources to help these victims, and we encourage anyone who has been victimized or is aware of an on-going incident to report it to law enforcement immediately.โ€

 

Smith pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly distributing one or more visual depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 15, 2021 and faces a mandatory minimum sentenced of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine his sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Virginia State Police, Smyth County Sheriffโ€™s Office, and Marion Police Department are investigating the case.

 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lena Busscher is prosecuting the case.

Operation False Haven: Convicted Child Molester Sentenced for Naturalization Fraud and Judicially Denaturalized

RALEIGH, N.C. โ€“ The United States Attorneyโ€™s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina announced that today in federal court, Simbala Gory, 45, a naturalized citizen of the United States, born in Mali and residing in Guilford County, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Richard E. Myers, II to three yearsโ€™ probation and six monthsโ€™ home detention following a guilty plea to naturalization fraud. Moreover, Gory was judicially denaturalized as a United States citizen.

 

According to court records, on July 26, 2016, Gory fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship by making materially false statements under oath regarding his naturalization application. In response to the question โ€œHave you ever committed, assisted in committing, or attempted to commit, a crime or offense for which you were not arrested?โ€ he answered โ€œNo.โ€ Also, in response to the question โ€œWere you ever involved in any way with any of the following - Forcing, or trying to force, someone to have any kind of sexual contact or relations?โ€ he answered โ€œNo.โ€ At the time of his guilty plea to naturalization fraud, Gory admitted the response to the first question was false, but maintained the answer to the second question was not false.

 

On September 28, 2020, in the Superior Court of North Carolina in Guilford County, Gory was convicted of sex offense-parental role. Gory was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of between 20 and 84 months and ordered to register as a sex offender. According to court records, Gory committed the offense on June 1, 2009. Goryโ€™s crime resulted in the birth of a child. Gory was not arrested until after he naturalized, thus immigration officials were unaware of his crime.

 

G. Norman Acker, III, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina likewise noted, โ€œThose engaged in such criminal conduct, or considering doing so, would do well to realize that our office is committed to pursuing these acts for prosecution, even if their conduct does not come to light until well after the crime. They should forever be worried their actions will catch up to them.โ€

 

โ€œGory attempted to hide his despicable crimes in order to gain citizenship and now his past has caught up to him,โ€ said Special Agent in Charge Ronnie Martinez, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operations in North Carolina and South Carolina. โ€œRemoving predators that target our vulnerable children makes our communities safer and HSI will continue to search for these criminals and bring them to justice.โ€

 

Agents with ICEโ€™s Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations, assigned to the Document Benefit Fraud Task Force, investigated the case as part of Operation False Haven, an ongoing initiative to identify and prosecute child molesters and other egregious felons who fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship.

SAN FRANCISCO โ€“ Kingjohn Baylon Asuncion appeared in court today to face a federal criminal complaint charging him with coercion and enticement of a minor, announced Acting United States Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Craig D. Fair.

 

The complaint alleges that Baylon, 23 years old and last known to live in Los Angeles, enticed a 13 year old girl to produce and send him child pornography on Instagram during the timeframe of December 25 through December 29, 2019. The complaint further alleges that on January 3, 2020, the minor female, who is from Northern California, ran away from her family, who were in San Francisco visiting the UCSF Medical Center, to meet up with Baylon. Two days later, the minor girl was found with Baylon at the Ferry Building in San Francisco.

 

Baylon made his initial appearance in federal court today before United States Magistrate Sallie Kim. Baylon remains in custody and his next scheduled appearance is Friday, September 24, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. for a detention hearing, again before United States Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim.

 

The complaint charges Baylon with persuading, coercing, or enticing a person younger than 18 years old to engage in a sexual activity, which includes the production of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 2422(b). If convicted, Baylon faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years to a maximum of life in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. However, any sentence following conviction is imposed by a court only after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. ยง 3553.

 

A complaint merely alleges that crimes have been committed, and every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

Yoosun Koh is the Assistant U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting the case with the assistance of Senna Milstead. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the FBI who worked jointly with the University of California, San Francisco, Police Department, and the San Francisco Police Department, and with assistance from the Los Angeles Police Department.

10-Year Sentence for Barre Man Who Sexually Exploited a Child Over the Internet

The Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont stated that Alexander Chase, 25, of Barre, Vermont, was sentenced today to serve 121 months in prison, followed by a 20-year term of supervised release, for child exploitation crimes, including obtaining images from a child victim and distributing them to others via email. United States District Judge William K. Sessions also ordered Chase to pay $3,000 of restitution to the victim of the offense.

 

According to court records and proceedings, in the summer of 2019, Chase posed as a 14-year-old boy on a child chat website. Chase began corresponding with a 10-year-old girl from Pennsylvania on the chat platform, eventually transitioning to the use of email. Chase sent the girl a photo of his own genitalia and asked for images of her genitalia in return. In response, the 10-year-old child sent pictures of her vagina. Chase then asked the girl for her to pose in a particular manner using a marker or pen as a sexual implement, which led the girl to respond with a picture of herself engaged in conduct similar to what Chase had requested. During the email correspondence, Chase asked the girl if she would be able to get to Vermont and meet him at his location to engage in sexual contact.

 

Chaseโ€™s emails led to a notification by the email service provider to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. NCMEC notified the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children task force, who in turn notified Homeland Security Investigations in Derby, Vermont. HSI obtained a search warrant for Chaseโ€™s email account, and through its contents and other investigative steps, determined Chase was the likely user of the account. The email contents revealed Chase had distributed the child pornography of the 10-year-old child to others. Chase also had received additional images of child pornography through his email account.

 

HSIโ€™s investigation revealed Chase was living at a residence in Barre, Vermont. On September 18, 2020, HSI executed a search warrant at Chaseโ€™s residence, resulting in the seizure of electronics which were subsequently determined to contain additional child pornography. The electronic devices also had evidence corroborating that Chase had enticed the 10-year-old victim to send the images. At the time of the criminal conduct for which Chase was sentenced today, Chase was subject to probationary supervision for a prior conviction for Lewd and Lascivious Conduct in Caledonia County, Vermont related to the sexual abuse of young children.

 

Acting United States Attorney Jonathan A. Ophardt commended the coordinated investigatory efforts of the Department of Homeland Securityโ€™s Homeland Security Investigations, the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and the Office of the District Attorney of Butler County, Pennsylvania in this matter. โ€œOnline sexual predators who exploit children through deceit and manipulation cause significant harm to the children they victimize. These criminals may not leave behind physical scars, but they nonetheless leave wakes of trauma, necessitating substantial therapy and support to assist survivors in their recovery. Once disseminated on the internet, these images are often shared over and over, exacerbating the victimization that these children experience.โ€

 

โ€œChase deceived and coerced a child to obtain exploitative imagery. With our partners on the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children task force, HSI is working to protect our children online and ensure those who seek to prey on them face consequences,โ€ said Matthew Millhollin, Special Agent in Charge for the Homeland Security Investigationsโ€™ Boston Field Office.

 

Acting United States Attorney Jonathan A. Ophardt handled the prosecution. Chase was represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Steven Barth, Esq.

 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneysโ€™ Offices and Child Exploitation Obscenity Section, Criminal Division (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Mason County Contract Mail Carrier pleads guilty to vehicle smuggling scheme

Also admits possessing child pornography discovered in smuggling investigation

Tacoma โ€“ A 48โ€“ year-old Mason County, Washington resident pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to three federal felonies related to a smuggling scheme and possession of child pornography, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. Christopher M. Cox pleaded guilty to: smuggling goods into the U.S.; making false statements related to the Clean Air Act; and possession of child pornography. Cox will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert J. Bryan on December 10, 2021.

 

According to the plea agreement, between approximately 2015 and January 2019, Cox falsified the required paperwork on two dozen vehicles he imported from overseas. Many of the vehicles were extremely light vehicles imported from Japan that did not meet U.S. safety standards. Cox sold some of the vehicles to contract mail carriers he knew from his job. Cox falsified the forms that claimed the vehicles met both safety standards and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Act standards. Cox used his identification as a contract mail carrier to circumvent inspections at the Port of Tacoma and took the vehicles from the Port without proper inspections. The total value of the imported vehicles exceeds $55,000. Those who bought the vehicles were not told that they failed to meet federal safety and pollution standards.

 

When law enforcement officers served search warrants on Coxโ€™s electronic accounts, they observed images of child pornography. Some of the images are known series of images of child rape and abuse manufactured outside the State of Washington. When officers executed search warrants on Coxโ€™s residence and obtained his electronic devices, they located 142 images and 2 videos of child molestation, rape and abuse.

 

Smuggling of goods into the U.S. and possession of child pornography are both punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Making false statements related to the Clean Air Act is punishable by up to 2 years in prison.

 

Under the terms of the plea agreement, the government will recommend no more than 63 months in prison. Judge Bryan will determine the appropriate sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

 

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations with critical assistance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

 

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Cecelia Gregson.

Four Militia Group Members Plead Guilty To Obstruction Of Justice Conspiracy

โ€œGrizzly Scoutsโ€ Members Conspired to Thwart Investigation into the Murder of a Protective Security Officer and the Shooting of Another; One Defendant Also Pleads to Enticing a 15-Year-Old Girl to Produce Child Pornography

SAN FRANCISCO โ€“ Four members of the โ€œGrizzly Scoutsโ€ militia group, a group connected to the โ€œboogalooโ€ movement, have pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct justice by destroying records connected to the investigation of the murder of a federal Protective Security Officer (PSO) contracted to the Federal Protective Service and the shooting and attempted murder of a second PSO on May 29, 2020, at the Oakland federal building, announced Acting United States Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds and FBI Special Agent in Charge Craig D. Fair.

 

Jessie Rush, 29, of Turlock; Robert Blancas, 33, a transient resident of the Bay Area; Simon Ybarra, 23, of Los Gatos; and Kenny Miksch, 21, of San Lorenzo, were indicted on March 23, 2021, in connection with their scheme to obstruct justice by destroying records material to the murder and shooting investigation. Today, Kenny Miksch pleaded guilty in United States District Court, the last of the four defendants to do so.

 

According to each of their plea agreements entered into at the time of their guilty pleas, Rush, Blancas, Ybarra, and Miksch admitted that in April 2020 they joined an armed anti-government militia group named the โ€œ1st Detachment, 1st California Grizzly Scoutsโ€ (Grizzly Scouts). They had connected earlier via a Facebook group created in connection to the โ€œboogalooโ€ movement. โ€œBoogalooโ€ is a term, as noted in their indictment, used by some militia extremists to reference a purportedly impending politically-motivated civil war or uprising against the government. The โ€œboogalooโ€ movement is not a single cohesive group but rather a loose concept used as a rallying point for some extremists.

 

According to their plea agreements, Rush named himself the Commanding Officer of the Grizzly Scouts and assumed the rank of โ€œMajor.โ€ Blancas assumed the rank of โ€œ1st Lieutenantโ€ with responsibilities for the groupโ€™s security and intelligence. Ybarra received the rank of โ€œCorporalโ€ and handled recruitment. Miksch received the rank of โ€œ1st Lieutenantโ€ with responsibilities for the groupโ€™s training and firearms instruction.

 

All four admitted they periodically held group meetings for firearms training and other purposes. They engaged in armed, in person โ€œtraining operationsโ€ in May 2020 with โ€œoperations ordersโ€ that labeled law enforcement as potential โ€œenemy forcesโ€ and suggested using lethal force and taking prisoners. All four acknowledged in their plea agreements that they engaged in June 2020 discussions with other Grizzly Scouts about โ€œboogโ€ (boogaloo), waging war against the government, and tactics for killing law enforcement personnel, including police officers.

 

Rush, Blancas, Ybarra, and Miksch each acknowledged in their plea agreements that they learned a Grizzly Scouts member was allegedly involved in the May 29, 2020, murder of a federal PSO and the attempted murder of his fellow PSO in Oakland. They also each admitted that the Grizzly Scouts member sent group communications via a WhatsApp group entitled โ€œ209 Goon HQโ€ during that memberโ€™s alleged attack on and shoot-out with Santa Cruz County Sheriffโ€™s deputies in Ben Lomond, California on June 6, 2020. According to their plea agreements, that member asked the other group members to come to his aid and said, โ€œDudes i offed a fed.โ€ Rush admitted he instructed that member to delete data on his phone and get out of there.

 

Rush, Blancas, Ybarra, and Miksch each admitted to conspiring with other group members to destroy the records of their interactions and communications because they foresaw authorities would investigate and prosecute that Grizzly Scouts member. Specifically, they each admitted in their plea agreements to destroying records associated with the WhatsApp โ€œ209 Goon HQโ€ group, including communications with that Grizzly Scouts member. Blancas also admitted to destroying files on Dropbox regarding the Grizzly Scouts that consisted of the groupโ€™s rank structure, a non-disclosure agreement requiring members to maintain confidentiality of group materials, a liability release waiver, descriptions of the Grizzly Scouts uniforms, and a scorecard assessing the skills of Grizzly Scouts members in combat, firearms, medical, and other training.

 

Each of the four defendants admitted they intended to impair the integrity and availability of the above records for use in official proceedings, including the investigation and prosecution of the May 29, 2020, murder of one PSO and attempted murder of another PSO at the Oakland federal building.

Blancas was also earlier charged in a separate complaint and information with the enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity, that is, the production of child pornography. In entering his plea of guilty, Blancas admitted that from about April through September 2020 he enticed a 15-year old girl to repeatedly make and send him pornographic photographs and videos of herself. Blancas admitted that he received at least 77 pornographic photographs and 31 videos from the victim, all while exchanging thousands of messages with her and speaking to her by audio and video call. Blancas admitted that he knew she was a minor when he did so.

 

Blancas pleaded guilty on August 23, 2021, to enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 2422(b). On the same date Blancas pleaded guilty in the destruction of records case to three counts: one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice by destroying records in an official proceeding in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(k), and two counts of destroying records in official proceedings in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(c)(1). He was arrested on December 1, 2020, and remains in custody as he awaits sentencing. He entered all of his guilty pleas before the Honorable Vince Chhabria, United States District Judge.

 

Rush and Ybarra pleaded guilty on September 13, 2021, and Miksch pleaded guilty on September 20, 2021. Each defendant pleaded to one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice by destroying records in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(k). They entered their guilty pleas before the Honorable James Donato, United States District Judge.

 

Blancasโ€™s sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2021, before U.S. District Judge Chhabria in San Francisco.

 

The sentencing hearing for Rush is scheduled for January 10, 2022. The sentencing hearings for Ybarra and Miksch are scheduled for February 7, 2022. These sentencing hearings will occur before U.S. District Judge Donato in San Francisco.

 

Rush, Blancas, Ybarra, and Miksch each face a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for conspiracy to destroy records in an official proceeding in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(k) and, as applies to Blancas only, for each of his two counts of the destruction of records in an official proceeding in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 1512(c)(1).

 

Blancas also faces an additional penalty of a minimum of 10 years imprisonment to a maximum of life in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine for enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. ยง 2422(b).

 

All sentences imposed by a court, however, are imposed only after the courtโ€™s consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. ยง 3553.

 

The cases are being prosecuted by Eric Cheng and Frank Riebli from the Special Prosecutions Section of the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the Northern District of California, with assistance from the National Security Divisionโ€™s Counterterrorism Section. The prosecutions are the result of investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Former Jacksonville Sheriffโ€™s Office Dispatcher Arrested And Charged With Distributing Photos And A Video Depicting The Sexual Abuse Of Young Children

Jacksonville, Florida โ€“ Acting United States Attorney Karin Hoppmann announces that Scott Matthew Yotka (37, Jacksonville) has been arrested and charged with distributing images and a video over the internet depicting the sexual abuse of young children. Yotka faces a minimum mandatory penalty of 5 years, and up to 20 years, in federal prison and a potential life term of supervised release. Yotka was arrested by FBI agents at his home on September 17, 2021, and he remains in federal custody pending a detention hearing on September 22, 2021.

 

According to court documents, on September 15, 2021, Yotka, using the name โ€œScottnjax44,โ€ utilized a particular social media application (app) to engage in online private conversations with an undercover FBI task force officer in Washington, D.C., who was posing as the parent of a child. Yotka was acting as the administrator of a public chat room on this app. During a private message conversation, Yotka engaged in an explicit conversation with the undercover officer regarding the sexual exploitation of children. Additionally, Yotka sent the undercover officer several photos and one video that depicted young children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Yotka also stated that he was employed as an โ€œemergency dispatcherโ€ and worked โ€œ12 hour shifts.โ€

 

The FBI sought emergency disclosure information from the app and AT&T that revealed internet protocol login activity by the โ€œScottnjax44โ€ account resolved, in part, to Yotkaโ€™s residence in Jacksonville and the subscriber listed on that account was โ€œScott Yotka.โ€ This information also indicated that the app company listed frequent login activity from a second IP address used by the โ€œScottnjax44โ€ user account, which activity resolved to the City of Jacksonville at the Ed Ball Building located in downtown Jacksonville. On September 16, 2021, FBI agents coordinated with the Jacksonville Sheriffโ€™s Office (JSO) and confirmed that Yotka was at that time employed by JSO as a dispatcher and that he routinely worked a 12-hour night shift.

 

On the morning of September 17, 2021, the FBI, assisted by the JSO, executed a federal search warrant at Yotkaโ€™s residence and arrested Yotka.

 

A complaint is merely a charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.

 

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Jacksonville and Washington, D.C. and the Jacksonville Sheriffโ€™s Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown.

 

This is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneysโ€™ Offices and the Criminal Divisionโ€™s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Bangor Man Sentenced for Possessing Images of Child Sexual Exploitation and Violating Supervised Release

 

PORTLAND, Maine: A Bangor man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for possessing images of child sexual exploitation and violating the terms of his supervised release, Acting U.S. Attorney Donald E. Clark announced.

 

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. sentenced Robert Goguen, 46, to a total of 16 years in prisonโ€”14 years for possessing images of child sexual exploitation, and two years for violating the conditions of supervised release. Judge Woodcock also sentenced Goguen to 20 years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment. Goguen pleaded guilty and admitted the supervised release violation on September 15, 2017.

 

According to court records, on November 10, 2015, U.S. probation officers went to Goguenโ€™s apartment in Bangor and seized a laptop computer. A forensic search of the computer revealed images and videos of child sexual exploitation that Goguen had downloaded and saved. At the time, Goguen was on federal supervised release following a 2012 conviction for failing to register as a sex offender.

 

Homeland Security Investigations and the Bangor Police Department investigated the case.

St. Augustine Registered Sex Offender Indicted For Attempting To Entice A 10-Year-Old Child To Engage In Sex And Distributing Child Sexual Abuse Video Over The Internet

Jacksonville, Florida โ€“ Acting United States Attorney Karin Hoppmann announces that a grand jury has returned an indictment charging Christopher Lee Smith (39, St. Augustine) with attempted online enticement of a minor to engage in sex and online distribution of a video depicting the sexual abuse of a child. Smith faces a minimum mandatory penalty 15 years, and up to life, in federal prison, a $500,000 fine, and a potential life term of supervised release. Smith is a registered sex offender, having been convicted of a prior child sex offense in January 2012. Smith was arrested by FBI agents on September 2, 2021, and is in federal custody awaiting his arraignment on September 23, 2021.

 

According to court documents, on June 28 and August 30, 2021, Smith utilized a particular social media application (app) to engage in online conversations with an undercover federal agent who was posing as the parent of a 10-year-old child. On June 28, 2021, Smith advised the undercover agent that he (Smith) wanted to have sex with the โ€œchildโ€ and discussed in detail the sexual acts that he wished to perform on the โ€œchild.โ€ On August 30, 2021, Smith and the undercover agent engaged in another online conversation. Smith advised, among other things, that he had engaged in sexual activity with another minor child; Smith also used the internet to send a video to the undercover agent depicting the minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct with an adult male. FBI agents were subsequently able to identify this child.

 

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Jacksonville and Tampa. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney D. Rodney Brown.

 

An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.

 

This is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneysโ€™ Offices and the Criminal Divisionโ€™s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.

Political Operatives Indicted for Alleged Scheme Involving Illegal Campaign Contribution to 2016 Presidential Campaign

An indictment was unsealed today in the District of Columbia charging a Kentucky man and a Florida man both with conspiracy to solicit and cause an illegal campaign contribution by a foreign national, effect a conduit contribution and cause false records to be filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and related substantive offenses.

 

According to court documents, Jesse R. Benton, 43, of Louisville, Kentucky, who previously worked as a campaign manager for two campaigns for U.S. Senate and one campaign for president, and Roy Douglas โ€œDougโ€ Wead, 75, of Bonita Springs, Florida, who previously served as an advisor to multiple presidential campaigns, conspired together to solicit a political contribution from a Russian foreign national (Foreign National 1). As described in the indictment, Wead conveyed to Foreign National 1 that he could meet Political Candidate 1, a candidate for president during the 2016 election cycle, in exchange for a payment. Shortly after Foreign National 1 committed to transfer the funds, Benton reached out to individuals at Political Committee B, the national party committee for Political Candidate 1โ€™s political party. He then arranged for Foreign National 1 to attend a political fundraising event and get a photograph with Political Candidate 1, in exchange for a political contribution to Political Committee C, a joint fundraising committee comprised of the campaign committee for Political Candidate 1, Political Committee B, and related state committees. Foreign National 1 ultimately wired $100,000 to Company A, a political consulting firm owned by Benton. To disguise the true purpose of the transfer of funds, Wead and Benton created a fake invoice for โ€œconsulting servicesโ€ and invented a cover story.

 

Wead and Foreign National 1 attended the political fundraising event for Political Candidate 1 on Sept. 22, 2016. Foreign National 2, who worked as a Russian/English translator for Wead, also attended. All three individuals had photographs taken at the event with Political Candidate 1. Following the event, Benton repeatedly represented to a consultant working for Political Committee B and Political Committee C that he had already sent the promised contribution for the event, but in actuality he delayed sending the contribution. Benton ultimately filled out a contributor form, indicated that he was the contributor, and used a personal credit card to make a $25,000 contribution. Benton retained the remaining $75,000 of Foreign National 1โ€™s money. Because Benton falsely claimed to have given the contribution himself, three different political committees unwittingly filed reports with the FEC that inaccurately reported Benton, rather than Foreign National 1, as the source of the funds.

 

Benton and Wead are both charged with one count of conspiracy to solicit and cause an illegal campaign contribution by a foreign national, effect a conduit contribution, and cause false records to be filed with the FEC, one count of contribution by a foreign national, one count of contribution in the name of another and three counts of making false entries in an official record. The defendants made their initial court appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. If convicted, Benton and Wead face a range of maximum penalties from five to 20 years in prison, per count. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

 

The FBIโ€™s San Diego Field Office is investigating the case.

 

Trial Attorneys Rebecca G. Ross and Michelle K. Parikh of the Justice Departmentโ€™s Public Integrity Section and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle L. Wasserman of the U.S. Attorneyโ€™s Office for the District of Columbia are prosecuting the case.

 

An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Kent, Washington man sentenced to 7+ years in prison for sexual assault on teen in Olympic National Park

 

Tacoma โ€“ A 36-year-old Kent, Washington, man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 87 months in prison for the August 2020 rape of a 14-year-old, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. Christopher James Kuna was at a gathering with family and close friends in Olympic National Park when he provided alcohol to the victim and committed the sexual assault. At the sentencing hearing U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle said, โ€œIt is hard to describe a more serious case than this. The rape of a 14-year-old. The facts are egregious. The victim has a life sentence and that cannot be changed.โ€

 

According to records filed in the case, Kuna was a trusted family friend of the victim and the victimโ€™s family. During the evening hours of August 24 and early morning of the 25th, Kuna plied the victim with alcohol causing intoxication to such an extent that the victim vomited. Kuna then sexually assaulted the victim. Because he was more than 20-years older and much larger than the victim, the victim was fearful of resisting Kuna. Kuna told the victim he had been thinking about the assault for a long time.

 

A trusted family friend assisted the family in making a report to local law enforcement. Upon realizing jurisdiction lay within a national park, local law enforcement referred the matter to the National Park Service investigative services branch who took over the investigation.

 

Kuna will be required to register as a sex offender following any prison term. He will be on 15 years of supervised release following prison.

 

The case was investigated by the National Park Service and the FBI.

 

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Angelica Williams, Jonas Lerman, and Hilary Stuart.

RBC Charged With Failing to Give Priority to Retail and Institutional Investors in Municipal Offerings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-179

Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that RBC Capital Markets LLC has agreed to pay more than $800,000 to resolve charges that it engaged in unfair dealing in municipal bond offerings. The SEC also announced settled charges against Kenneth G. Friedrich, RBC's former head of Municipal Sales, Trading and Syndication, and Jaime L. Durando, the head of RBC's municipal syndicate desk.

 

According to the SEC's order, over a nearly four-year period, RBC improperly allocated bonds intended for institutional customers and dealers to parties known in the industry as "flippers," who then resold or "flipped" the bonds to other broker-dealers at a profit. In addition, the order finds that, in three instances where an issuer had instructed RBC to place retail customer orders first, RBC violated those instructions by allocating bonds to flippers ahead of orders for retail customers. The order finds that RBC knew or should have known that flippers were not eligible for retail or institutional priority and that allocating bonds to the flippers ahead of customers and other dealers violated RBC's internal priority policy for allocating municipal bonds in primary offerings. The order also finds that, in certain offerings not underwritten by RBC, RBC improperly obtained bonds for its own inventory by placing orders with flippers, which allowed RBC to circumvent the lower priority it would have been assigned had it attempted to place direct orders with the underwriters.

 

"We will continue to pursue those who undermine priority rules and crowd out legitimate retail or institutional customers from getting access to newly issued municipal bonds," said LeeAnn G. Gaunt, Chief of the Division of Enforcement's Public Finance Abuse Unit.

 

The SEC previously brought charges of municipal bond offering "flipping" and retail order period abuses in August 2018, December 2018, September 2019, April 2020, July 2020, September 2020, July 2021 and August 2021.

 

Without admitting or denying the findings, RBC consented to a public administrative and cease-and-desist order that finds it violated the order disclosure, fair dealing, and supervisory provisions of Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) Rules and the related Exchange Act provision, caused the flippers' violations of the broker registration provisions of the Exchange Act, and failed reasonably to supervise certain of its registered representatives within the meaning of the Exchange Act. The order requires RBC to pay a $150,000 penalty, disgorgement of $552,440, plus prejudgment interest of $160,886, and imposes a censure.

 

In related actions, the SEC instituted settled proceedings today against Friedrich and Durando. The SEC's orders find that Friedrich and Durando permitted the improper allocation and sale of new issue bonds to the flippers, and that Friedrich also permitted the improper purchase of new issue bonds for RBC's own inventory through the flippers. Without admitting or denying the findings, Friedrich and Durando consented to public administrative and cease-and-desist orders finding they violated the order disclosure and fair dealing provisions of MSRB Rules and the related Exchange Act provision, and, as to Friedrich, that he violated the supervisory provisions of MSRB Rules and failed reasonably to supervise Durando within the meaning of the Exchange Act. Friedrich agreed to a censure and to pay a civil penalty of $30,000, and Durando agreed to a censure and to pay a civil penalty of $25,000. Friedrich further consented to a six-month limitation on supervisory activities and a six-month prohibition on trading negotiated new issue municipal securities.

 

The SEC's investigation was conducted by Kevin B. Currid, Sue Curtin and Heidi M. Mitza of the Public Finance Abuse Unit and Kathleen B. Shields of the Boston Regional Office, with assistance from Deputy Unit Chief Mark Zehner and Public Finance Abuse Unit members Joseph Chimienti, Laura Cunningham, Warren Greth, Cori Shepherd, and Jonathan Wilcox.

SEC Awards $11.5 Million to Two Whistleblowers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-180

Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced awards of approximately $11.5 million to two whistleblowers whose information and assistance contributed to the success of an SEC enforcement action.

 

The first whistleblower received an award of nearly $7 million, while the second whistleblower received more than $4.5 million. The larger award was in recognition of the fact that the first whistleblower was the initial source that caused the staff to open the investigation into hard-to-detect violations and thereafter provided substantial assistance. The second whistleblower, by comparison, submitted information later, after the investigation was already underway, and had delayed reporting to the Commission for several years after becoming aware of the wrongdoing.

 

"This case demonstrates the Commission's continued commitment to rewarding individuals who provide high-quality tips, and particularly timely ones," said Emily Pasquinelli, Acting Chief of the SEC's Office of the Whistleblower. "These whistleblowers reported credible information that aided the Commission's investigation and their subsequent cooperation allowed the Commission to better understand the violations that formed the basis of the enforcement action."

 

The SEC has awarded approximately $1 billion to 212 individuals since issuing its first award in 2012. All payments are made out of an investor protection fund established by Congress that is financed entirely through monetary sanctions paid to the SEC by securities law violators. No money has been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblower awards. Whistleblowers may be eligible for an award when they voluntarily provide the SEC with original, timely, and credible information that leads to a successful enforcement action. Whistleblower awards can range from 10-30% of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million.

 

As set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC protects the confidentiality of whistleblowers and does not disclose information that could reveal a whistleblower's identity.

SEC Charges Former Pharmaceutical Global IT Manager in $8 Million Insider Trading Scheme

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-181

Washington D.C., Sept. 17, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced insider trading charges against Dayakar R. Mallu, of Orlando, Florida, who generated gains and avoided losses totaling over $8 million by trading in the securities of his former employer, Mylan N.V., ahead of four public announcements between Oct. 3, 2017, and July 29, 2019.

 

The SECโ€™s complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges that Mallu received material nonpublic information about Mylan's unannounced earnings, drug approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and impending merger with a division of Pfizer Inc. from his friend, a Mylan insider. The complaint alleges that Mallu traded on that information, and shared a portion of his trading profits with the Mylan insider by making cash payments in India.

 

"As alleged in our complaint, Mallu exploited his access to valuable information concerning Mylanโ€™s earnings information, drug announcements, and merger plans to place highly successful options trades," said Scott A. Thompson, Co-Acting Regional Director of the SEC's Philadelphia Regional Office. "But Mallu's efforts to conceal his scheme through secure messaging apps and foreign cash payments were unavailing, as this case highlights the agency's ability to use sophisticated data analysis to detect suspicious trading patterns and identify the traders behind them."

 

The SEC's complaint charges Mallu with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Mallu has consented to the entry of a judgment which, if approved by the court, would permanently enjoin him from violating the charged provisions and bar him from acting as the officer or director of a public company, with civil penalties, if any, to be decided later by the court.

 

In a parallel action, the U.S. Department of Justice, Fraud Section, today announced criminal charges against Mallu.

 

The SEC's investigation, which is continuing, is being conducted by Christine R. O'Neil, Matthew B. Homberger, Brian R. Higgins, Oreste P. McClung, and Christopher R. Kelly of the Philadelphia Regional Office and John S. Rymas of the Market Abuse Unit and supervised by Brendan P. McGlynn, Jennifer Chun Barry, and Mr. Thompson. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Options Regulatory Surveillance Authority.

SEC, MSRB, FINRA to Hold Compliance Outreach Program for Municipal Advisors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-183

Washington D.C., Sept. 20, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Examinations and Office of Municipal Securities (OMS), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) today announced the opening of registration for the 2021 Compliance Outreach Program for Municipal Advisors. The virtual program will be held Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. Additional information and program materials, including the agenda are available on the SEC website.

 

The program will provide municipal advisors and other municipal market participants an opportunity to hear from SEC, MSRB, and FINRA staff on timely regulatory and compliance matters. Topics of discussion include managing conflicts of interest disclosures; operational considerations for registered municipal advisors; municipal advisorsโ€™ participation in new issue pricing; preparing for an examination; SEC and FINRA examination processes and common observations; and relevant SEC and FINRA enforcement actions. A tutorial on using the EDGAR system will also be presented.

 

"OMS is pleased to participate in this event for municipal advisors in the virtual format. We enjoy the opportunity to speak directly to and encourage a dialogue with the municipal advisor community. Our goal with this event is to promote a greater understanding of and compliance with municipal advisor duties under the federal securities laws," said OMS Director Rebecca Olsen.

 

Daniel Kahl, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Examinations added, "I am delighted that we are once again holding this important outreach event. This program is one example of the Division's efforts to be transparent when it comes to the examination program and includes panels on common exam findings and how to prepare for an examination. With representatives of the SEC, MSRB, and FINRA, as well as industry participants, the program should provide an excellent learning opportunity for municipal advisors regarding their regulatory obligations from multiple perspectives. The open dialogue I expect at the event should serve to bolster compliance efforts and ultimately enhance investor protection."

 

MSRB Chief Regulatory Officer Gail Marshall said, "We are pleased to again partner with the SEC and FINRA on a program that allows us to engage with municipal advisors across the country. This program is a great capstone to the series of virtual regional town halls for municipal advisors that the MSRB held during the summer months. Creating opportunities such as this to engage in thoughtful dialogue will better inform our work that is centrally focused on reducing unnecessary costs and burdens for municipal advisors while also finding impactful ways to support compliance."

 

"The municipal securities market plays an important role in U.S. capital markets, providing opportunities for new and experienced retail investors as governments leverage bonds, complex structured products and financial derivatives to address their infrastructure and capital needs," said Bari Havlik, FINRA's Executive Vice President of Member Supervision. "This program enables municipal advisor firms across the country to hear from regulators about areas of oversight, compliance and obligations that promote a fair and efficient market."

 

Registration is being administered by FINRA. The program is free and open to all. Register to attend the program here. For those who cannot attend the live virtual program, the recording will be archived on the SEC's Compliance Outreach Program for Municipal Advisors webpage for later viewing.

SEC Charges Crowdfunding Portal, Issuer, and Related Individuals for Fraudulent Offerings

Case is SECโ€™s First Involving Regulation Crowdfunding

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2021-182

Washington D.C., Sept. 20, 2021 โ€”

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged three individuals and one issuer with conducting a fraudulent scheme to sell nearly $2 million of unregistered securities through two crowdfunding offerings. The SEC also charged the registered funding portal and its CEO, who placed the offerings on the portalโ€™s platform.

 

According to the SEC's complaint, Robert Shumake, alongside associates Nicole Birch and Willard Jackson, conducted fraudulent and unregistered crowdfunding offerings through two cannabis and hemp companies, Transatlantic Real Estate LLC and 420 Real Estate LLC. Shumake, with assistance from Birch and Jackson, allegedly hid his involvement in the offerings from the public out of concern that his prior criminal conviction could deter prospective investors. The complaint alleges that Shumake and Birch raised $1,020,100 from retail investors through Transatlantic Real Estate, and Shumake and Jackson raised $888,180 through 420 Real Estate. Shumake, Birch, and Jackson allegedly diverted investor funds for personal use rather than using the funds for the purposes disclosed to investors. As alleged, TruCrowd Inc., a registered funding portal, and its CEO, Vincent Petrescu, hosted the Transatlantic Real Estate and 420 Real Estate offerings on TruCrowd's platform. Petrescu allegedly failed to address red flags including Shumake's criminal history and involvement in the crowdfunding offerings, and otherwise failed to reduce the risk of fraud to investors.

 

"Crowdfunding offerings enable issuers to cast a wide net for potential investors, emphasizing the importance of full and honest disclosure," said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "As companies continue to raise funds through crowdfunding offerings, we will hold issuers, gatekeepers, and individuals accountable and enforce the protections in place for all investors."

 

The SEC's complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, charges Shumake, Birch, Jackson, and 420 Real Estate with violating the antifraud and registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and seeks disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, penalties, permanent injunctions, and officer and director bars. The complaint also charges TruCrowd and Petrescu with violating the crowdfunding rules of the Securities Act and seeks disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, penalties, and permanent injunctions.
