Spain Spanish police cops
Spanish police have smashed a prostitution ring that was offering "high-class sex" services, including the virginity of a 16-year-old girl, which was put up for sale on one of the group's websites for €5,000.

The raid took place in the city of Marbella in southern Spain's Andalusia region, police said in a statement.

The ring "offered high-class sex" on different websites, police said, adding that among the offerings was the "virginity of a minor, aged 16, for a price of €5,000."


Comment: The age of consent in Spain is 16, under a new law which came into effect on 1 July 2015. There may have been some confusion.


Comment: Looks like a lot of 'upper-class' perverts are getting what they deserve. Check out:

In opening statements of of Schlemmer's bench trial a prosecutor said Schlemmer, the 43-year-old McCandless, Pa., woman, who is charged with killing 6-year-old Daniel and 3-year-old Luke in April 2014 so she could focus on raising their older brother, had tried to kill the boys before.
A Pennsylvania woman tried to be an "ideal Christian, loyal mother" but felt overwhelmed by her husband's desire for more children and his religious stance that they avoid birth control before she drowned their two youngest sons in a bathtub, a psychiatrist testified in her defense Friday.


Comment: Only in the modern day would this excuse be put forward. Really? It's all her husband's fault.


Dr. Robert Wettstein was the second and final witness called by the defense on Laurel Schlemmer's behalf and his testimony was critical to the case. Defense lawyer Michael Machen has acknowledged the 43-year-old McCandless woman's role in the deaths but is arguing she was mentally ill at the time.


Comment: Of course she was mentally ill. She murdered her two children. The question is whether or not she knew it was wrong.


Judge Jeffrey Manning said he would issue a verdict next week.

Schlemmer is accused of holding her sons, 6-year-old Daniel and 3-year-old Luke, face down in the water while she sat on them April 1, 2014. Luke died that day; Daniel died four days later.

Air India flight lost radio contact over Hungary due to 'frequency fluctuation'


RT
Fri, 10 Mar 2017 21:37 UTC
Five nuclear power plants in Germany were briefly shut down after a commercial plane lost radio contact while flying over German airspace.

The Air India jet, with 231 passengers and 18 crew members on board, was traveling from Ahmedabad to London when it went missing from air traffic control radio frequencies for 22 minutes from 10:27am GMT Friday morning.

The communications blackout resulted in two German Luftwaffe fighter jets being scrambled to escort the plane, Spiegel reported.

As part of "pre-alarm" measures in Germany, fighter jets are on standby to assess any wayward aircraft traveling in the nation's airspace that could pose a threat.

With the fate of the passenger jet unknown for some time, several nuclear power plants were also temporarily cleared. Energy plants in Brunsbuttel, Brokdorf, Lingen, Unterweser and Grohnde in northern Germany were all affected, reported N-TV.

However, Germany's Environment Ministry has said that the Grohnde nuclear power plant had already been closed for inspection.

According to a brief statement from Air India, flight AI171 lost contact in Hungarian air space due to radio "frequency fluctuation." The plane landed safely and no injuries to passengers were reported following the dramatic mid-air scare.

Comment: According to one report the aircraft remained out of reach for almost an hour. A similar incident was reported last month (February 16th) when a Jet Airways, Mumbai-London flight had a communication failure on board while flying over German airspace which forced German authorities to scramble fighter jets fearing a hijack.

Marcel Hesse was arrested after a three day manhunt. German police have arrested a 19-year-old man suspected of stabbing a nine-year-old boy to death and bragging about the murder in an online video. Police have also discovered another body. The man, named as Marcel Hesse, was arrested after he went into a restaurant in the northern town of Herne Thursday night and shouted: "Call the police, I'm wanted", Bild newspaper reported.

Authorities had been hunting for Hesse for several days after they were alerted by people who had viewed the clip on the "darknet", a hidden online arena notoriously used by criminals to trade weapons, drugs and child pornography.

A team of police discovered the child's corpse on Monday when they searched the cellar of the suspect, who has been described as an unemployed and socially withdrawn man not previously known to authorities.

The child had been Hesse's neighbour and investigators said they could not rule out that he had also killed a woman.

After his arrest last night, Hesse put the investigators on the trail of an apartment he had just burned and in which a second dead body was found. In a conversation on the internet Hesse had said that he had "fought a beast of 120 kilos" and that "she put up more of a fight than the child."

A Seattle synagogue has become the latest US Jewish center to be stuck by anti-Semitic vandals, with Holocaust-denying graffiti painted on the walls of the temple.

On Friday morning, the Temple De Hirsch Sinai was discovered with the message "Holocaust is Fake History" spray painted on its walls. Each 'S' was represented by dollar signs.

In a post on the synagogue's website, Rabbi Daniel Weiner said: "Holocaust-denying graffiti was spray-painted on the facade of our Old Sanctuary. We immediately contacted law enforcement, who have responded quickly and efficiently in opening an investigation, for which we are profoundly grateful."

"We are also adamant in our conviction that we will not allow the toxicity of intolerance and growing climate of hate to define who we are, how we live, and what our nation can be," Weiner added.

A Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient was released after 10 days in a detention center. She was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while going home from a news conference where she had spoken out against raids.

Daniela Vargas, 22, a so-called "DREAMer" who came to the US as a child, was released after being detained by ICE despite having a pending DACA application. Karen Tumlin, legal director at the National Immigration Law Center, announced the update Friday after the highly-publicized arrest in Jackson, Mississippi, on March 1.

Vargas had received DACA status in the past, but she claimed she was forced to let her authorization lapse in November after not being able to afford the $495 fee. However, she had reapplied in February but was detained after talking about her brother and father's arrests by ICE last month.

All 32 National Football League teams have pumped players with painkillers to keep them on the field, while handing and transporting drugs against the guidance of federal authorities, former players are arguing in a class-action lawsuit.

The federal lawsuit, originally filed in February in the Northern District of California, alleges wanton distribution of powerful painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to players, as well as a culture of storage and transportation of the drugs that, the suit says, violates numerous federal and state drug laws.

Details from the sealed, heavily-redacted court filing were revealed Thursday by the Washington Post. On Friday, Deadspin released the full, unredacted filing.
