© unknownStonehill College officials say they look forward to helping Kevin Treseler return to his studies. He had been suspended.
After weeks of deliberation, a grand jury has not indicted a Stonehill College student accused of raping an 8-year-old girl he tutored in Brockton, and he will not be prosecuted, authorities said yesterday.

As a result, Kevin Treseler, 21, of Millis will be welcomed back to Stonehill, from which he was suspended last month following the allegations.

Treseler is not sure he will return to the Easton school, his lawyer said.

"Kevin Treseler's name has been cleared,'' said his attorney, Michael P. Doolin of Dorchester. "I hope that he's able to go back to the life that he had, and his family is very relieved and gratified for the findings of the grand jury.''

Matthew H. Malone, superintendent of Brockton's public schools, said officials believe a crime was committed and the school district will continue to work with law enforcement to identify a perpetrator. He did not indicate whether another participant in the tutoring program would be targeted.

US: Police: California Man Lived with Dead Woman for Week

A California man was found living with the badly decomposed body of a woman after neighbors called to complain of an unusual smell coming from inside the man's studio apartment, police said Wednesday.

Santa Cruz police officers found the 30-year-old woman's body after entering the apartment at about 7 p.m. Tuesday. Investigators haven't been able to establish how the woman died because of the deteriorated state of her body, authorities said.

Investigators also haven't determined how long the woman had been dead, but Santa Cruz deputy police Chief Steve Clark said he was comfortable saying it had been at least a week.

The apartment's resident, 63-year-old John Clauer, was in custody on a no-bail parole hold based on a prior drug conviction, Clark said.

Seven innocent horses, one days from giving birth, and a week-old foal died in a raging barn fire that police believe was a homophobic attack.

Owner of the barn and horses, Brent Whitehouse, of McConnelsville, Ohio, had been keeping an eye on his pregnant mare, Love, after the animal showed signs she was about to give birth.

When he looked out of his window at the barn on Easter night Mr Whitehouse was shocked to see an orange glow coming from within.

Young said an autopsy would take place Thursday in Concord, N.H.

An off-duty Atlanta police officer hits a woman during an early Saturday altercation that was captured on video and posted on YouTube.

The four women who were part of a scuffle with an off-duty Atlanta police officer had barely sat down at a table at the Buckhead IHOP when the confrontation started, one of them said.

"It was just four girls, just a regular night out, going to get something to eat," Cynthia Freeman said.

Freeman said she noticed two guys dressed as characters from the Star Wars trilogy.

"Wow, they got the helmet ... they've got everything, what are you guys doing?" Freeman said she asked early that morning.

Minutes later, she said a man in a blue shirt came over to their table.

"He tells me, shut up, be quiet, you need to leave," an emotional Freeman said.

Tallahassee - A series of controversial abortion bills passed in the Florida House of Representatives Wednesday.

State lawmakers approved legislation that lays new ground rules for women seeking the procedure.

The debate that unfolded in Tallahassee was as personal as it was political, words backed up by deeply-held beliefs about the role of government, women's rights and even life itself.

"Members, think wisely! This is not a bill for Republicans or Democrats or because it's a Republican bill - this is Bible principles!" Rep. Daphne Campbell, D-Miami, said. "So, why should government pay for abortion or kill babies?"

Aid workers described horrific stories of widespread sexual abuse, including one incident in which a group of girls was abducted and held hostage for four days.

When they were finally released, they were too traumatised to speak.

Other children have described being forced to watch as their fathers were murdered and their mothers raped.
