A two-star general who recently headed the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson was denied a promotion to three-star after referring to a congressional staffer as "sweetheart" during a meeting in 2016.

That's according to military news outlet Stars and Stripes, which reports that Maj. Gen. Ryan Gonsalves was administratively reprimanded after an investigation into the incident. His specific punishment, aside from being denied the promotion to lieutenant general, wasn't released by the Army.

It stems from a meeting in October 2016 between Gonsalves and office staff with Rep. Jim Langevin (D-Rhode Island) at Fort Carson. According to a report, Gonsalves called a female staffer "sweetheart," and commented on her age.

Gonsalves also told the staffer to take notes "since she was a Democrat and did not believe in funding the military," according to a report from the Army Inspector General.

Other staffers called Gonsalves' comments sexist, though others stood up for him as a professional. A complaint wasn't immediately filed about the exchange. However, Stars and Stripes reports that an anonymous complaint to the Army IG was made after reports surfaced that Gonsalves was up for a promotion to three-star general.

Question

Was Jerry Sandusky innocent? False repressed memories and confirmation bias may have led to false conviction

In 2012, former Penn State defensive football coach Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of 45 counts of sexual abuse of young men. He is now serving a 30-60 year sentence in Pennsylvania's SCI Somerset prison.

But in a recent book, journalist Mark Pendergrast claims that a closer look at the evidence presented at trial shows Sandusky is likely innocent.

Pendergrast argues, in The Most Hated Man in America: Jerry Sandusky and the Rush to Judgment, that the charges were largely the result of efforts by aggressive police investigators and recovered memory therapists who encouraged boys to "remember" molestations that may not have occurred. Pendergrast published his original arguments in The Crime Report in 2016.

In a conversation with TCR writer Megan Hadley, he discusses how his earlier work on the "repressed memory" phenomenon led him to investigate the Sandusky case, why he believes "greed" and media frenzy helped to distort the facts, and how the "rush to judgment" may similarly have ensnared others who have been wrongly accused of campus sex abuse.

A man charged with marrying a woman in 2015 and marrying her daughter a year later -- without first getting a divorce -- has entered into a plea agreement.

Christopher I. Hauptmann, 44, of Shamokin, pleaded no contest in Northumberland County Court Thursday to charges of bigamy, forgery, unsworn falsification to authorities and firearms county.

Judge Paige Rosini sentenced Hauptmann, who also has used Buckley as his last name, to a year minus a day to two years minus a day in prison followed by 10 years' probation. He was given credit for 332 days he has been in jail, unable to post bail.

Hauptmann, who was scheduled to stand trial next week, is prohibited from having any contact with Shannon Deitrich, who he had wed in Florida in 2015 and who testified against him.

Poland makes sex offender registry public - children's rights outweigh criminals' anonymity

The Polish justice ministry has announced they will be publishing the names, photographs, and details of some 800 convicted sex offenders, including those found guilty of child sex offences, on their website to keep the public informed.

The list of 800 convicted sex offenders is based on a similar policy by the United States, according to Polish Justice Minister and Attorney General Zbigniew Ziobro. The government say they hope the list will help educate the public rather than keep them in the dark and stop criminals hiding behind anonymity in local communities, Kronen Zeitung reports.

"The right to protect our children is above the anonymity of criminals," Justice Minister Ziobro said.

While there are 800 individuals on the list available to the public, the full comprehensive list of 2,600 convicted sex criminals is still largely restricted and requires registration with the government. Those included on the larger restricted list include individuals convicted of viewing child pornography.

Comment: They always start with people no one would defend, people who you'd think deserve it. Then the lists expand. It's no longer just pedophiles, it's rapists. Then it's no longer just pedophiles and rapists, it's sexual harassers. Then more people get added. And one day you're added to the list. But it always starts with people no one would defend. It's always justified in the beginning.

If they commit a crime, they go to prison. In prison they pay their debt to society. If they haven't paid their debt, they shouldn't be released. Once they are released, they shouldn't be hounded.

If a man can never pay his debt to society, then there is no reason for him to try, crime then becomes his natural activity, and he is better off embracing villainy than working toward a virtue he will forever be denied.

A couple who met on a Muslim dating site called 'SingleMuslim.com' have been found guilty of plotting a terrorist attack with an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) inspired 'Mother of Satan' bomb in Derby.

Sudanese asylum seeker Munir Mohammed, 37, volunteered for a "lone wolf" UK mission as he chatted on Facebook with a man he believed to be an IS commander, according to The Times. He enlisted the help of pharmacist Rowaida El-Hassan, drawing on her knowledge of chemicals needed to make a bomb after meeting her on the dating site. They have been dubbed "the lonely hearts jihadists" by the British media.

At the time of his arrest in December 2016, Mohammed, who was living in Derby, had two of the three components required to make triacetone triperoxide (TATP) explosives, known as 'Mother of Satan,' and thought he had the third. He was captured on in-store CCTV buying acetone-free nail polish from Asda in the mistaken belief that it was a chemical component for the bomb. Investigators believe that it was only his lack of English that resulted in him buying the wrong ingredient.

The first thing Jimenez did after regaining consciousness was ask about his wife
A prisoner certified dead by three doctors was reportedly found to be alive just hours before his post-mortem.

Gonzalo Montoya Jimenez, an inmate at a jail in Asturias, northern Spain, was put in a body bag and transferred to a hospital mortuary after he was discovered collapsed in his cell, according to Spanish media.

Jimenez's family said he "had autopsy markings on him, ready to be opened up".

The Forensic Anatomical Institute of Oviedo only realised the prison doctors' mistake when the 29-year-old was heard snoring on the autopsy table, reports La Voz de Asturias.

Gilberto Valle, also known as the "cannibal cop," returns to his mother's home located in Queens on July 1, 2014 after his conviction was overturned.
Gilberto Valle might not be a bloodthirsty cannibal - but he hopes to cook up some cash thinking like one.

The former NYPD cop, who spent almost two years in prison on charges that he was plotting to kidnap, slaughter and eat young women, has penned an "extremely violent" horror novel that he hopes will rake in some green. The conviction was later thrown out after a federal judge decided it was all fantasy.

"Even though I've been completely exonerated, all this stuff about 'Cannibal Cop' is still there," Valle, 33, told the Daily News on Monday. "Writing the book comes down to me trying to find a way to make a living."

Valle, widely known by his infamous cannibal moniker, was arrested in 2012 after his then-wife found disturbing posts about an urge to kill and consume women on their shared computer.

Left-wing media editor tells parents to buy sex toys for their children

The "Lifestyle" editor of the United Kingdom-based news outlet Metro recently published a hideous op-ed column chastising parents who don't sexualize their children at a young age.

According to Ellen Scott, it's perfectly appropriate for parents to purchase sex toys for their underage tots. She further believes that parents who don't introduce their little ones to erotica objects are bad parents who need to be called out for withholding the joys of sex from their children.

In her column, Scott tries to argue that parents have a "responsibility" to make sure their children's "entirely normal exploration of their sexuality is safe, healthy, enjoyable, and in their own hands." She goes on to suggest that parents have a duty to introduce their children to "the concept of self pleasure."

"[I'm not] talking about getting your son a Fisher Price version of a sex doll or presenting your daughter with an eight inch strap-on on her eighth birthday," the foul-mouthed feminist wrote. Instead, Scott would rather see parents give their little boys "masturbation sleeves," and their daughters "vibrating bullets."
