McKinney police arrested an orthopedic surgeon on suspicion that he sexually assaulted two female patients while they were under his care.

Dr. Donald Okechukwu Ozumba, 44, faces two charges of sexual assault, according to court records. McKinney police arrested him Friday and booked him at the Collin County Jail, where his bail was set at $50,000. He was released Sunday.

Police said the offenses happened at OSSM Orthopedics in the 8000 block of State Highway 121 in McKinney.

Ozumba couldn't be reached for comment Monday.

One of the women went to his office last week to be treated for a sports injury, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. She told police that the doctor exposed half of her genitals to check for internal fluid and told her he needed to rub in the medication he had injected under her left hip.

Ozumba massaged the area, then penetrated the woman's genitals with his fingers and massaged her inside, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. The woman's husband was sitting behind the doctor but couldn't see what was happening, police said.

The woman told police that she contacted another doctor after the visit and asked whether what Ozumba had done was normal procedure. The second doctor informed her that Ozumba was "absolutely not supposed to penetrate her vagina," according to the arrest warrant affidavit.

Authorities say they've uncovered a massive international sex trafficking ring in Southern California.

Prosecutors announced the arrest of four people connected to the Orange County-based enterprise that allegedly placed thousands of ads for sexual services in 29 states over the past two years.

The ring was based locally in Irvine, officials said.

Women and girls from China were forced to sell themselves for sex and sometimes forced to work 14 hours a day in homes purchased specifically for the purposes of prostitution, according to authorities.

A man who brought young women to Canada from Asia to exploit them as prostitutes in his Ottawa brothels has been sentenced to seven months of house arrest.

Zhao Liu would recruit women from China and Japan and bring them to Ottawa on visitor permits only to put them to work in one of three brothels he ran out of a high-end condominium on York Street in the ByWard Market or at houses on Clyde Avenue and Merivale Road, a court heard.

Tulsa cop kills unarmed man, then brazenly blames victim for his own death

Tulsa cop Betty Shelby kills unarmed Terence Crutcher
Tulsa Police Officer Betty Shelby fatally shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher in September when he experienced car trouble after leaving night classes at Tulsa Community College. On Sunday, Shelby went on CBS's 60-Minutes to attempt to justify the killing of this unarmed man — and shamelessly blamed him.

In a brazenly despicable fashion, Shelby explained to host Bill Whitaker that Crutcher — who had no weapon on him or in his car — caused her to fear for her life, and her only option was taking his life.

"His hands were in the air from all views," pastor Rodney Goss of the Morning Star Baptist Church, who viewed footage from both dash cams and a police helicopter prior to the public release, told the Tulsa World in September. "It was not apparent from any angle at any point he lunged, came toward, aggressively attacked, or made any sudden movements that would have been considered a threat or life-threatening toward the officer."

The video evidence was so compelling that several days after it was released, a warrant was issued for Shelby's arrest. She is set to go on trial in May for manslaughter.

Comment: Yet another completely innocent unarmed man is now dead, because U.S. police officers simply act without thinking, knowing they will in all likelihood be absolved of any wrongdoing.

A group of 27 high-profile New Zealanders, including unlikely allies such as Don Brash and Dame Tariana Turia, have penned an open letter warning freedom of speech is under threat in the country's universities.

It was the brainchild of Auckland University of Technology's History Professor Paul Moon, and rejects "the forceful silencing of dissenting or unpopular views" on university campuses.

Ex-Navy Seal creates organization of veterans to expose pedophiles and rescue trafficked children

Vets against pedos
To those paying attention, they are able to see the world has a horrifying problem with pedophilia and child trafficking. They are also able to see that the corporate media and the ruling class do very little to expose it — and, in fact, are often exposed for participating in it. However, an ex-Navy Seal and several other veterans are attempting to stop this.

Veterans For Child Rescue (V4CR), as they note on their new website, "was formed specifically to EXPOSE that which has been covered up and suppressed - the dark and disgusting world of pedophile trafficking rings. These rings include members from every level of our society and involve unthinkable trauma inflicted upon innocent babies and children - the soul of our nation."

The group, which is in the process of forming a 501c3 non-profit, was started by Former Navy Seal Craig Sawyer and their aim is simple — expose child trafficking across the nation and save children from torture.

"Until now, pedophiles have enjoyed a counter-productive level of privacy from the media. That puts more children at risk," a crowd-funding page for the organization states.

Driving data of more than 100,000 vehicle operators show that half of car crashes involved a driver distracted by a phone at some point in the trip, while one in four drivers used a phone within a minute of a crash, according to a new study.

In coordination with Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) released a study on Monday underscoring that phone distractions are a major source of dangerous driving and car wrecks in the US. The company creates mobile apps that measure driving behavior.

One in four drivers who crashed were using a phone during or mere moments before the accident, CMT said.

Meanwhile, distracted driving occurred at some point during 52 percent of car trips that resulted in a crash, CMT's study found.

"This is a big problem for drivers and bikes and pedestrians," said Hari Balakrishnan, chief technology officer of CMT, according to the Chicago Tribune. "It's a fairly dominant factor in determining whether you have a crash."

University of Toronto psychology professor Dr. Jordan Peterson has had a federal research grant application denied for the first time in his long and distinguished academic career.

And he's certain that the rejection from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the government agency that supports post-secondary research, is linked to the controversy surrounding his stand on gender-neutral pronouns such as "zie" and "zher" and the modern notion of gender as being fluid.
