Kentucky police arrest father for selling his juvenile daughter to another man for $8,000 after she got pregnant

Kentucky law enforcement officials have charged a man with sex trafficking after he allegedly sold his juvenile daughter to another man for $8,000.

Officials were made aware of the alleged crime after the girl gave birth to a baby boy in March.

Investigators said that 34-year-old Diego Alonzo-Perez of Beaver Dam, Kentucky, sold his daughter to 20-year-old Lucas Mateo. They alleged that she had been living with Mateo since August 2020.

Kentucky State Police began their investigation in November after finding out about the girl giving birth. Court documents claimed that she had been raped daily by the man who bought her from her father. An arrest citation said the man paid him $8,000.

"Many times we have preached that technology is the number one driver to a lot of these predatory-type crimes," said Kentucky State Police trooper Corey King to WTVW-TV, "but when it involves parents, that really, that really hits home to me, as a father myself."

Both the girl, whose identity remains private, and her baby were taken into foster care. WIVV-TV reported that the girl was 15 years old.

King said the incident was unprecedented for his department.

"Parents sold their child," said King. "That in itself is new for us here, but it's scary overall because now do some of these monsters have a face of a parent? That's really scary to me as a parent."

He added that although Kentucky ranks 26th in population, the state ranks 9th in human trafficking.

Alonzo-Perez was charged with human trafficking related to commercial sex activity and Mateo was charged with 3rd degree rape. Both are being held at the Ohio County Detention Center in Hartford.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and there may be more arrests and charges in the case.

'It was no secret Jimmy Page liked young girls': New book packed with horrifying claims about underage sex could unleash a #MeToo reckoning on Led Zeppelin

The year was 1973 and on a warm day in May the rooftop swimming pool of the Continental Hyatt House Hotel in Los Angeles was full of young girls wearing bikinis or even less — most of them ‘underage’ by a significant margin.

The scene was set for the next instalment of the depraved bacchanal that was Led Zeppelin on tour.

Girl after girl was thrown into the deep end as, strung out on drugs and drink, the band and their cronies watched leeringly.

Jimmy Page, revered guitarist of the world’s hottest rock band, hung back and watched from a distance. He couldn’t swim and, besides, he had already picked out the one he wanted — 14-year-old Lori Mattix.

He’d been sent a photo of her earlier and, later that night, as the party moved to a sleazy local nightclub, Rodney Bingenheimer’s English Disco, he pulled Mattix to one side and said: ‘I told you I was going to be with you.’

She was worried — her friend Sable Starr, just a year older, had made clear she also had her eyes on the lanky British musician and had warned her: ‘If you go near Jimmy, I’ll kill you.’

In the event, the decision was taken out of her hands as, Mattix claims, she was later hustled into a limo by Led Zeppelin’s two managers, threatened with violence if she resisted and driven, terrified, back to the Hyatt House for an assignation with Page in his suite.

She says that, as a teenager bewitched by her ‘rock god prince’, it was love at first sight, adding: ‘He was 29, I was 14. It was no secret he liked young girls.’

Page, she claims, had ‘respect enough’ to ring her mother and check she wouldn’t have him thrown in jail for underage sex. He needn’t have worried — Lori’s mother had actually taken her daughter to the hotel and into the band’s orbit in the first place.

‘She knew he was a huge rock star,’ says Mattix of her mother’s horrifying encouragement of a girl who’d already lost her virginity. Mattix would go on to have a three-year affair with the guitarist.

Four years after the fall of Harvey Weinstein fired up the #MeToo movement, few areas of public life haven’t faced a reckoning over predatory male behaviour. So why has rock music remained untouched?

That question could most appropriately be asked of Led Zeppelin, who were ‘monsters of rock’ in every way.

Princeton Marxists Protest Campus Appearance by ‘Trans Epidemic’ Speaker

Radical student group says fighting 'LGBT oppression' is part of 'fight for socialist future'

In the ultimate exhibition of campus intersectionality, student communists at Princeton University connected their protest of an author they view as "transphobic" to their fight to end capitalism.

"LGBT oppression has a central role in maintaining the capitalism means of production," Princeton's Revolutionary Student Action group wrote in a letter plastered around campus ahead of a speech by Abigail Shrier, author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. "The liberation of the working class IS liberation from gender oppression!"

The student flier argues that combating Shrier's book, billed as a deep dive into what she calls a "trans epidemic" in young girls, was part of their "fight for a socialist future."

Revolutionary Student Action is a student branch of Workers' Voice, an openly Marxist organization that believes "capitalism can only be overcome through a socialist revolution." Its website, which is linked on the Princeton flier, says the group's mission is to "pave the road to communism" and a "classless society free of exploitation and oppression."

Shrier's Wednesday event was co-hosted by the Princeton Open Campus Coalition and the Princeton Tory, the school's conservative newspaper. The event was held at an off-campus location disclosed only to attendees, organizers told the Free Beacon, to protect students from harassment from groups like Revolutionary Student Action, which isn't recognized by the university.

"We are thrilled that the event itself took place without disruption, but the visceral reaction of certain Princeton community members is indicative of an ailing culture surrounding open discourse and robust dialogue," said Myles McKnight, president of the Open Campus Coalition. "We feel that students should be excited to engage with differing points of view on controversial issues about which reasonable people disagree."

Opposition to Shrier's event was not limited to the communist group. McKnight said several students reported being verbally harassed by peers who knew they were attending the event. Several students turned to social media to slam the university for allowing the event to proceed.

"This woman has openly demonstrated in her twt [sic] feed that she's arriving on campus with the mission of engaging in transphobic discourse with princeton [sic] students," one Instagram post shared with the Free Beacon reads.

Princeton's Gender and Sexuality Resource Center hosted a counter-event, a "teach-in" on transgender issues, Wednesday night in collaboration with the Princeton Pride Alliance.

Several prominent figures in recent years have faced backlash for deviating from the progressive line on transgender issues, both on college campuses and off. Kathleen Stock, a sex and gender researcher, resigned from the University of Sussex in October after mobs of students protested against her belief in the existence of biological sex. Internationally acclaimed author J.K. Rowling has been shunned for suggesting that the elimination of sex erases women—it is widely believed she was left out of the 20th anniversary celebration of her Harry Potter series because of her comments on transgenderism.

Shrier posted her full remarks at Princeton shortly after her appearance, in which she addressed the pushback she's gotten from many on the left.

"I'm not a provocateur. I don't get a rush from making people angry," Shrier said. "You don't have to be a troll to find yourself in the center of controversy. You need only be two things: effective, and unwilling to back down."

The communist letter said Shrier's appearance "put people's lives at risk by further marginalizing them."

The usual suspects star in annual Tax Office data-dump paying donut on their billions

The latest Tax Office transparency report shows the oil and gas juggernauts are, again, Australia’s biggest tax grifters. Callum Foote and Michael West report on the good and the bad in multinational tax-dodging land.

The usual suspects are at it again. Dodging tax that is, failing to contribute to the society in which they operate. Rupert Murdoch, the cuff-linked pirates from Brookfield, Lendlease, and a slew of foreign multinational fossil fuel companies, the likes of Exxon, Shell, ConocoPhillips and BG Group. Donut. Zero income tax payable all round, for yet another year.

When we calculate the annual Michael West Media Top 40 Tax Dodgers, it’s a cert that America’s biggest oil company Exxon will top the charts once again. ExxonMobil Australia booked total income of $15.6 billion for the 2019-20 year, managed to completely extinguish its profits – thanks to the customary “debt-loading” – and paid not one red cent in income tax.

That’s $71.3bn in income over the seven years of available Tax Office transparency data. Zero tax from Exxon. And a piddling amount no doubt from the PRRT, the miserable failure of a tax which is supposed to capture a portion of the massive mineral wealth which Australia exports each year.

Each year, just once a year, we get to see how much tax the biggest companies in the world are, or are not, paying in Australia. It landed today, that is the annual Corporate Tax Transparency Report from the Australian Tax Office.

Broadly in trends, the oil and gas companies were the worst. The usual property groups such as Meriton, Brookfield’s BPIH, Toga and Lendlease paid not a zac. Neither did the big trusts such as Mirvac, Transurban and Sydney Airport, although they are trusts so don’t have to; that’s up to their members.

Once again the domestic banks paid their fair share. BHP and Rio did too. Iron ore magnates Gina and Twiggy paid roughly $1.3bn and almost $3bn respectively. The airlines as usual paid nothing, as did gas giants Santos and Origin Energy. Nothing from Adani Abbot Point, or coal companies Whitehaven and Peabody.

Murdoch’s News Australia Holdings paid nothing for the seventh year on the trot, despite $1.7bn in income, and Foxtel – as reported here – has been conveniently and slyly “disappeared” offshore to the secrecy jurisdiction of Delaware amid rumours of a sharemarket float.

Goldman Sachs finally bounced into the status of a taxpayer, as did tech groups Atlassian, Uber and Facebook; and Glencore is now paying a chunky amount. PwC ‘s consulting business again paid zero, this time on $700m in income.

QLD announces changes to quarantine arrangements for fully vaccinated close contacts, new advice for casual contacts

Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath has revealed when changes to quarantine arrangements for fully vaccinated close contacts will take effect.

Queensland has announced changes to quarantine arrangements for the fully vaccinated who are identified as close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said the changes will come into effect on January 1.

"The quarantine arrangements will be, if you are a close contact and you are vaccinated, from 1 January, you will only need to quarantine for seven days and get a test on day five and when you get that negative test, after day seven you will be able to be released," she said.

"From day eight to 14 there will be requirements for you, we want you to wear masks everywhere you are outdoors and you are required to avoid high-risk settings.

"So when you are still in that day 8 to 14 period as a close contact, we don't want you going into hospitals, aged care facilities, correctional facilities, youth detention centres and disability facilities."

Ms D'Ath said under national guidelines a close contact is someone who has spent more than 15 minutes exposed to a confirmed case.

Changes to quarantine arrangements for those who live in the same household as an individual identified as a close contact will also kick-in on January 1.

"If you a vaccinated household contact of a close contact, you do not need to quarantine but you will need to get tested on day one and day five," Ms D'Ath said.

"But if you are unvaccinated and a household contact and you're not able to separate from that contact in a household you will need to do the same seven day quarantine and comply with the same requirements for days eight to 14.

"For unvaccinated close contacts, the rules remain the same. From 1 January those people will need to continue to quarantine for 14 days, immediately get tested and then again on day five and day 12."

Face mask litter surged 9,000% due to Covid-19 – study

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and mask mandates rolled out by governments worldwide have caused an “exponential increase” in face mask pollution, comprehensive research based on data collected in 11 countries suggests.

The damning study by a team of researchers with the University of Portsmouth was published in the Nature Sustainability journal on Thursday.

The group conducted a comprehensive study of personal protective equipment (PPE), observing an “exponential increase” in such litter amid anti-coronavirus measures. Their findings are based on data collected across 11 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the US, using a litter collection application Litterati.

The research spans 14 months, with September 2019 figures used as the baseline. Covid-related litter began to grow at alarming rates in March 2020, when the spread of the virus turned into a full-blown global pandemic, with governments worldwide introducing various restrictions, including mandatory face mask-wearing.

“Overall the study shows the impact that legislating the use of items such as masks can have on their occurrence as litter. We found that littered masks had an exponential increase from March 2020, resulting in an 84-fold increase by October 2020,” Dr. Keiron Roberts, lead researcher with the University of Portsmouth, said.

Among the countries sampled, the UK has shown the “highest overall proportion of masks, gloves and wipes as litter,” according to the study. In August-October 2020, for instance, masks accounted for more than 5% of all litter produced there, with wipes and gloves accounting for a further 1.5%.

The nearly 9,000% increase in PPE litter clearly shows the enforcement of face mask-wearing “must be accompanied with education campaigns to limit their release into the environment,” Roberts added. While pandemic-related restrictions, such as curbs on international travel, have had a minor positive impact on the environment, the skyrocketing PPE pollution has become truly alarming, the researchers said.

“In April 2020, it was beginning to appear that there were some small positives in the decrease in human activity caused by lockdown, with improvements in air quality and water quality. Reduced human activity also saw reports of animals coming back to towns and cities,” Roberts stated, adding that masks also began appearing “where they hadn’t been before.”
