Any adult who knew that this woman was involved with a student should go right to prison along with her.

I don't see anyone excusing this behavior except horny men.  There's nothing sane or healthy about a school guidance counselor having sex with one of the students, having him think they're in a relationship.  That's a bizarre level of control for her to have.

Again, I can't imagine having sex with a 14-year-old boy, how awkward and horrible that would be.  Would he even have hair on his junk?  Gawd.

Former Rochester Police Officer Shawn Jordan is now charged with raping a 13-year-old family friend in his home in 2022. 

Jordan was previously charged with having lewd chats with another underage girl on Facebook.  He resigned from the police after that incident.

Daniel Ramos Avilez was arrested by his own department.  It's unclear what led to the arrest.  His employment as a police officer apparently did not play a role in his accessing the children.  More details are expected.

Former Deputy Jemiah Thomas is accused of attempting to solicit a minor after meeting her on a domestic violence call at her family home.

He's facing felony charges after allegedly sending explicit texts and attempting to meet up with the underage girl.  Her family discovered the texts and alerted his department, who followed up with an investigation.  Thomas is out on bond as of this writing.

This is a bittersweet ending, if not a happy one.  Recall that Alicia Navarro is the young woman who came forward during the media circus around Rudy Farias' re-emergence from not being kidnapped, to say that she was also fine and not kidnapped.

The way Navarro's story was reported led me to believe that she had left voluntarily and been self-sufficient the whole time, perhaps working and staying with other peers not much older than herself.  I would have been capable of something along those lines at her age.  That sounded plausible to me.  I accepted, or perhaps assumed, that an investigation had been done.

I subsequently learned that Alicia was very much not capable of anything like that at 14.  A special-needs girl, Alicia could not manage her own life, while I was basically fending for myself.

What didn't come out until much later was that Alicia had been staying with an adult man for four years, Edmund Davis.  Fortunately the police did follow up on this.

KRTV:

"Dozens of images of suspected child sex abuse material were located on the device, confirmed to belong to Davis. Following their protocols, Glendale police selected ten images from those found and brought them to medical experts. The review determined the individuals depicted to be under the age of 13, with two images of children under the age of 5."

As a survivor it's very obvious to me that Alicia was groomed and lured away from her home.  She's too young and inexperienced to understand that he doesn't like her for herself.  He likes her because she looks so very young and small, and she's so easily manipulated.  He has nothing to offer her but some craphole apartment in Montana.  He can't get a woman his own age, is why he's allegedly fixated on children.

So I'm glad that she's been returned to her own life without this guy.  Glad that he's been discovered, one more alleged pedo off the internet.  It saddens me that she doesn't see, and may never see, what happened to her there, how badly she undersold herself with this scumbag.

This video, the whole story, is completely insane.

The headline reads, "Sex offender killed in shootout with Dallas Police."  And yes, that does happen in this video. 

But when they send a drone over to investigate the vehicle, they discover that he has a woman handcuffed to the back seat.  Can you imagine the horror of being kidnapped in the first place, then placed in the middle of a shootout in this way?

She apparently got into his vehicle voluntarily, but was then put into the back seat and handcuffed, before he was observed by undercover cops who noted the vehicle as stolen.  This was apparently the night he was letting all of his criminal flags fly at once, his swan song, which ended with suicide by cop.  I'm glad the woman made it through the shower of bullets okay.

This sickens me. 

From NBCDFW5:

"[Brad] Cox, who has a history of disciplinary problems, testified last week at the hearing he believes his use of force was justified because he feared for his life and acted to keep others safe. He said news media reports misconstrued what happened. Cox told the judge during the hearing that he “could not and would not have done anything differently.”

“I don’t ever leave the house wanting to fight anybody ever,” Cox said at the hearing. “I was put in a situation that I had no choice.”

Well, I call bullshit.  He definitely had a choice.  There's nothing in your paramedic training about using your MMA training on anybody, at all. 

Paramedics have a duty to ensure "scene safety" for themselves and their partners before they engage anyone.  So if Brad Cox thought he was in a life-threatening situation, or anyone needed protecting, he was supposed to get back in his ambulance and drive away, and let the big, scary police officers handle it with their guns. You run away, park somewhere safe, and let the police call you back when the area is secure. That's legit how paramedics are taught to handle unsafe people and situations, by protocol, in every part of America.  It's called "staging," look that shit up.  Failure to ensure "scene safety for my partner and me" and run away in your ambulance if it's not met, will automatically fail you in every single paramedic test scenario.  Or, even easier than researching staging and scene safety, just look at the photograph of him kicking the seated, handcuffed guy, which is self-explanatory.  I imagine the judge was pressured by the firefighters' union, because Cox had 19 years in on the job.

Brad Cox is a bully and a punk.   I hate knowing that he works as a firefighter, much less a paramedic.  This is not the person you want responding to your family's emergency. 

I had patients grab at my breasts and crotch while I was on calls, and I didn't assault them.  I swatted their hands away and kept working, just like my other female coworkers routinely did.  I had been advised that any actions beyond that would be career-ending, especially reporting them.  So Brad Cox doesn't have a leg to stand on or an ass to sit on IMHO.  Garbage man.

Luckily the girl, who was grabbed from a gas station, made good her escape.

Another day, another (alleged) Holtzclaw.
