Former Gateway Church pastor Robert Morris, 63, has been indicted on five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child stemming from incidents beginning in 1982 when the victim was 12. The alleged abuse, which lasted four years, came to light after the victim, Cindy Clemishire, publicly accused Morris of sexual abuse. Morris, who resigned from his position last year following admission of “inappropriate sexual behavior,” faces up to 20 years in prison per count. The Oklahoma Attorney General stated there will be no tolerance for such crimes, especially when committed by those in positions of power.
Seven Japanese men, aged 30-50, were arrested for raping their daughters or stepdaughters and sharing the resulting videos within a dedicated online chat group. Four men directly abused their children (aged 6-14), while three possessed child pornography. The group’s activities, which began around December 2023, were uncovered following the November 2024 arrest of one member. The men face charges of penetrative sexual assault and violations of child pornography and prostitution laws.
Estes Carter Thompson III, a former American Airlines flight attendant, pleaded guilty to attempting to sexually exploit a child and possessing child sexual abuse images. His crimes involved secretly recording at least five underage girls using airplane lavatories, including a 14-year-old whose lawsuit against American Airlines has been settled. The investigation uncovered hundreds of additional child sexual abuse images on Thompson’s iCloud account. Thompson faces a significant prison sentence and substantial fines at his June 17 sentencing.
Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a Memphis gynecologist, faces federal charges including enticing individuals across state lines for illegal sexual activity, along with adulteration and misbranding of medical devices, and healthcare fraud. The indictment alleges Kumar performed unnecessary procedures on patients using unsanitary, reused medical devices while billing Medicare and Medicaid fraudulently. This spanned from September 2019 to June 2024, with authorities suggesting the number of affected patients may be higher. Kumar’s actions, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Fondren, constituted predatory behavior under the guise of medical examinations.
A Colorado jury found Michael Geilenfeld, founder of Haiti’s St. Joseph’s Home For Boys, guilty of sexually abusing multiple boys under his care between 2005 and 2010. The conviction stems from six counts of illicit sexual conduct and one count of traveling for illicit sexual purposes, resulting in a potential 30-year prison sentence. This case followed a prior defamation suit Geilenfeld filed, ironically leading to the uncovering of evidence that ultimately secured his conviction. Geilenfeld’s actions were brought to light largely due to the persistence of Paul Kendrick, a Maine resident who had previously accused Geilenfeld of abuse.
An 18-year-old Dalit woman in Kerala, India, reported years of sexual abuse, leading to the arrest of 58 men and boys. The abuse allegedly began when she was 13, with a neighbor filming the assault and using the footage to blackmail her into further abuse by dozens of others. The case highlights the vulnerability of Dalit women in India, where societal stigma and caste-based discrimination often hinder reporting and justice. Despite the severity of the crime, the case has received less national outrage than other high-profile rapes, emphasizing the pervasive issue of impunity for perpetrators targeting marginalized communities.
Four men associated with the neo-Nazi group CVLT have been indicted on charges of engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, impacting 16 children, including two in San Bernardino County. The group groomed vulnerable children, exploiting them to create self-harm imagery and extremist content, and threatened to distribute compromising material if victims resisted. These acts included self-mutilation, consuming bodily fluids, and even pressured suicide attempts. Two suspects were recently arrested, while two others are already incarcerated, facing sentences ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment.
A neo-Nazi child exploitation ring, involving four men from across the U.S. and France, has been dismantled following their arrests. The group, which promoted neo-Nazism and pedophilia, groomed and coerced at least 16 children globally, including two from Southern California, into producing child sexual abuse material. Victims were subjected to horrific acts of degradation and coercion, including self-harm and threats of exposure to family and friends. Each defendant faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years and a potential life sentence if convicted.
A Walton County couple recently received a 100-year sentence without parole for the horrific sexual abuse of the two young boys they had adopted. This devastating case underscores the profound betrayal of trust and the lasting trauma inflicted on vulnerable children. The sheer scale of the abuse, documented in over seven terabytes of electronic evidence, including surveillance footage and graphic messages, is truly shocking. This volume of evidence paints a horrifying picture of repeated and systematic abuse, leaving an indelible mark on the victims’ lives.
The sentence itself, while significant, raises complex questions. Many commenters expressed the belief that the perpetrators deserved a far harsher punishment, even suggesting cruel and unusual punishments, reflecting the visceral outrage felt by the public at the severity of their crimes.… Continue reading
