WASHINGTON — After a six-day hiatus, the Chandra Levy murder trial is scheduled to resume, and jurors will likely hear testimony from prison inmates who say Ingmar Guandique confessed to killing her. Guandique, a Salvadoran immigrant, is charged with the murder and attempted sexual assault of Levy in 2001. The Washington intern’s disappearance became international news after she was romantically linked with then-California Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif. He was once the main suspect, but police no longer believe he was involved.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — Schools in the nation’s sixth-largest school district were on lockdown Wednesday, and police in bullet-proof vests guarded at least some entrances after authorities said an unidentified woman called a radio station, saying her husband might go to a school and start shooting. Pembroke Pines Police Capt. Daniel Rakofsky said an earlier e-mail to the radio station, maybe from the man in question, said “something big was going to happen,” possibly at a post office or a school. Schools in Pembroke Pines, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, were initially placed on lockdown as a precaution. The lockdown was then extended to all 300 Broward County schools. The county has nearly 257,000 students.

Child Molester Leonard Ortiz Caught In The Act

San Antonio, TX – Police say 28-year-old Leonard Ortiz is being held on $100,000 bond after a woman reportedly caught him in the act of molesting her 7-year-old daughter. The woman told police she was showering Saturday afternoon, when she popped out of the bathroom to retrieve a bottle of shampoo. It was then, she said, that she happened to see Ortiz laying on top of her child. She ordered him off the kiddo and asked if he had been having sex with the child. Ortiz denied having sexual intercourse with the girl, but admitted to “rubbing against” her on at least two occasions. According to the child, though, it went much further than a dry hump and it has been a somewhat regular occurrence over the past two years.

Parents Say Their Teen Committed Suicide Because Of Bullying

MOUNT PLEASANT MILLS, PA – The parents of a 14-year-old who committed suicide last week say it was the end result of the bullying he suffered at school and now they want to make other parents aware of it. Last Friday, Brandon Bitner left his home in the middle of the night, walked six miles and stepped into the path of a tractor trailer.  Britner left a note to his parents asking that they find the strength not to let this happen to anyone else. His mother says Brandon suffered verbal abuse at school where he targeted for his emo lifestyle and soft-spoken manner. She blames the school for not stopping it.

    THE OPRAH SHOW–The Most Dangerous Child Sex Offenders in America

    A Lisa Ling special report: rare access to the isolated American island where hundreds of the worst sex predators live. All men and one woman. Then, adult survivors speak out. One hour outside of Seattle, there’s a small island in the Puget Sound that people rarely visit. Some residents rarely leave. This place, McNeil Island, is home to a corrections center that houses hundreds of the state’s most dangerous sexual predators. Cameras are almost never allowed inside this controversial facility, but in February 2010, correspondent Lisa Ling was granted rare access inside the residents’ rooms, common areas and therapy sessions.

    Thousands of Sex Offenders Evading Authorities

    Posted by Sandra On November - 8 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

    Thousands of convicted sex offenders are evading state and federal authorities, congregating in regions thought to have lax enforcement, slipping back and forth to Mexico or disregarding laws on reporting their whereabouts. As states and federal authorities stitch together a national system for overseeing America’s 700,000 convicted sex offenders, they face a sobering challenge: Locating the estimated 100,000 sex offenders who aren’t saying where they are.

    State and local authorities, working with the U.S. Marshals Service, are conducting sex offender sweeps, checking old addresses and hunting down the absconds. Often times, officials say, the offenders are where they have been along — they’ve just fallen behind on paperwork. But sometimes not.

    An OPP officer who sexually molested boys for most of his policing career deserves to spend 10 to 12 years behind bars, the prosecution argued Monday. Robert Lewis, a hulking man who committed his crimes throughout 25 of his 30 years on the force, has never admitted guilt, expressed remorse or taken responsibility for his actions, Crown prosecutor Mary Ellen Cullen told a sentencing hearing at Superior Court in Orangeville.
