17-count indictment
The indictment charges the gay couple with soliciting two other men to "perform an act of prostitution" with their 11-year-old adopted child: Hunter Lawless, who met the one adoptive father (Zachary) through a mutual contact on Grindr, and Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez.
"Getting ideas for our next house," William had cheekily captioned a picture taken in North Carolina outside of the Biltmore Estate, a 250-room, 8,000-acre castle that is considered America's largest home and belongs to the industrialist Vanderbilt family.
6 people at a Mexican-American drug den in central California were executed “cartel style.” The victims include 3 generations of a family: a baby, the teen mother & the grandmother. Due to poor border security in the US, Mexican cartel violence has grown.

If you must drink at all, two drinks maximum each week is deemed low-risk by the government-backed guidance.

Italian Pier Antonio Panzeri held in EU-Qatargate bribery probe agrees to tell all
An alleged leader of a criminal network involved in an EU corruption scandal has agreed to reveal which countries were involved and how it operated.
A lawyer for Pier Antonio Panzeri said his client had agreed to "tell all" after reaching a deal with prosecutors.
The former member of the European Parliament is one of four suspects being held in Belgium.
They are suspected of accepting bribes from Qatar and Morocco in return for influencing the Parliament in Brussels.
Qatar has strenuously denied that it tried to gain influence through gifts and money while Morocco has also strongly rejected allegations that it sought influence on issues such as fishing rights and the disputed status of Western Sahara.
The four suspects were charged last month after police seized around €1.5m (£1.3m) in cash during a series of raids on a flat, a house and a hotel. Pictures of stashes of €200, €50, €20 and €10-denomination notes were released by police, including a suitcase found in the hotel which was stuffed with cash.
Prosecutors said Mr Panzeri agreed the plea deal under an informant law used only once before in Belgium.
His lawyer Marc Uyttendaele said he admitted "criminal responsibility", adding: "It is important to know that this is a man who is destroyed and he doesn't have much of a life left."
But his client hoped to "secure his situation" by agreeing to "tell all he knows about the case", Mr Uyttendaele added.
The other suspects include a serving Greek MEP, Eva Kaili, who has been stripped of her role as a vice-president of the Parliament, her partner Francesco Giorgi, and lobbyist Niccolò Figà-Talamanca.
After Mr Panzeri, 67, left the Parliament, he became the head of a lobby group called Fight Impunity. Mr Figà-Talamanca worked from the same building in Brussels for a separate NGO.
According to a statement from Belgium's federal prosecutor, the former MEP agreed to the plea bargain under a law modelled on an Italian provision for repentant mafia members or "pentiti" to turn state witnesses.
A spokesman said he faced a year in jail, rather than a "much heavier prison sentence", as well as a fine and confiscation of €1m in assets.
In return he would be required to give details of how the network operated, what the financial arrangements were with the countries concerned, and "the involvement of known and unknown persons within the investigation, including the identity of the persons he admits to having bribed".
The plea deal was released a day after an Italian court agreed to extradite the ex-MEP's daughter, Silvia Panzeri, 38, on suspicion of involvement in the scandal.
The same court in the northern city of Brescia ruled last month that Mr Panzeri's wife, Maria Colleoni, could also be extradited, but Italy's top appeal court will give a final ruling on their case. The two women are currently under house arrest and deny allegations of corruption and money laundering.
Greek MEP Eva Kaili, who also denies involvement in the case, is suspected along with the others of taking bribes from Qatar in return for influencing EU policy-making.
Her partner Francesco Giorgi was reported to have confessed last month to his role in the affair.
However, a reference to "unknown" people within the investigation suggests more revelations are due to emerge.
Prosecutors have already sought to lift the immunity of two more centre-left MEPs, Belgian Marc Tarabella and Italian Andrea Cozzolino.
Lawyers for both MEPs have denied that they played any part in the scandal, but the request is being reviewed by Parliament's legal affairs committee.

A Canadian woman who caused $10 million in damages after driving drunk, crashing into a house and causing an explosion is now suing the concert venue that provided her alcoholic beverages — as she claims the owners are to blame.
The “car bomb” fiasco occurred in August 2019 while Daniella Leis, 26, was driving home from a Marilyn Manson concert at the Budweiser Gardens arena in London, Ontario, the CBC reported.
After drinking at the show and getting behind the wheel, Leis crashed her Ford Fusion — registered to her father — into a brick home at 450 Woodman Ave., rupturing a gas line and triggering a massive explosion that destroyed four houses and injured seven people.
