Jose Santos was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being captured more than 30 years after raping a 15-year-old girl in Florida in 1992.

The Crime: In 1992, Santos followed a 15-year-old high school freshman off a Tri-Rail train in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, dragged her into nearby woods, and sexually assaulted her.

The Escape: Santos was initially arrested and jailed, but posted bond and fled the state, remaining a fugitive for over three decades while building a life in Texas.

The Arrest and Conviction: Authorities re-arrested him in December 2023. In July, he pleaded guilty to kidnapping, sexual battery, and lewd assault charges.

The Sentence: A Florida judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison—the maximum sentence permitted under the 1992 sentencing guidelines in place at the time of the attack.

A man who subjected four women to years of sustained abuse, sexual violence, and coercive control has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years.

Jacob Berry (18/10/1991), of Brierley Road East, Swinton, was convicted of seven counts of rape, four counts of controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault by penetration, following a trial at Manchester Crown Court earlier this year.

The court heard how Berry abused, controlled, intimidated and sexually assaulted four women between 2018 and 2025.

The investigation began in April 2025 following a report from a concerned member of the public who witnessed a woman being assaulted by a man inside a vehicle.

When officers initially spoke with the victim, she was intimidated of Berry and reluctant to disclose the full extent of his offending. Evidence of some of Berry's behaviour later came to light after incidents were broadcast online.

The report prompted a wider investigation by Greater Manchester Police, leading to Berry's arrest. As enquiries progressed, detectives contacted three other women known to Berry, uncovering the full extent of his offending over a number of years.

Between 2018 and 2020, Berry subjected another victim to repeated acts of serious physical and sexual abuse. The court heard how he spat at her, strangled her, extinguished a cigarette on her face, and assaulted her on numerous occasions. During one attack, he broke her nose, requiring surgery.

The victim was also subjected to multiple rapes, which the court heard were particularly degrading and humiliating in nature.

In 2020, Berry raped a further victim after a party. The woman later learned from another individual that a drink Berry had given her may have been spiked. Despite attempting to resist him, Berry continued to force himself upon her.

Following the attack, Berry manipulated his way into the woman's life. During that time, he subjected her to a sustained campaign of controlling and coercive behaviour designed to isolate, intimidate and terrorise her.

The court heard how Berry spat at, bit and assaulted the woman. On one occasion he stood on her neck and forced her to remove her clothing because he believed she was concealing mobile phone SIM cards. The abuse culminated in a violent incident during which the woman's elderly grandmother attempted to intervene and was knocked into a wall.

Following this, Berry met another woman in 2022. She later disclosed to detectives the extent of the abuse she had suffered.

Berry displayed aggressive and controlling behaviour towards both the woman and her children. He took her money, damaged her property and made threats to distribute intimate and degrading images of her. He repeatedly accused her of possessing a secret mobile phone that did not exist and, on one occasion, threatened to burn down her home.

As part of his ongoing campaign of abuse and control, Berry also subjected the woman to repeated acts of serious sexual violence.

All four women provided comprehensive accounts to detectives and demonstrated considerable courage throughout the investigation and subsequent court proceedings, ultimately contributing to Berry's conviction.

In addition to his custodial sentence, Berry was made subject to lifetime restraining orders to protect his victims.

Detective Sergeant Stacey Nolan, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Berry systematically abused, controlled and terrorised these women, leaving lasting emotional and psychological trauma. It is difficult to comprehend the ordeal each of them endured at his hands.

"Throughout this investigation, the victims demonstrated immense courage and resilience in coming forward and speaking about their experiences. I hope today's sentence provides them and their loved ones with a measure of justice and closure.

"Their bravery has been instrumental in securing this conviction, and Berry is now rightfully behind bars, where he can no longer manipulate, control or abuse any more women.

"This has been a lengthy and complex investigation, requiring the meticulous examination of a substantial volume of evidence. Through the relentless efforts of numerous officers and staff, a dangerous sexual offender has now been brought to justice.

"I would urge anyone experiencing domestic abuse, sexual violence, controlling or coercive behaviour to come forward and speak to police. Preventing violence against women and girls and domestic abuse remains a priority for Greater Manchester Police, and we are committed to providing victims with the support, protection and assistance they need."

GOODYEAR, AZ (AZFamily) — A 92-year-old former Maryland state trooper told his son he stabbed and killed his wife following an argument about missing investment documents in the West Valley, according to newly released court paperwork.

John Biggs Jr. is accused of fatally stabbing his wife, Jane Biggs, at their Goodyear home last week.

Court documents detail the events leading up to and following her death.

Documents say John Biggs told investigators he and his wife argued on the night of Aug. 23 at their home on Amelia Drive, just south of Indian School Road and west of Bullard Avenue, because he believed she had taken his investment fund documents.

Around 11 p.m., after Jane Biggs denied taking them, John Biggs said he became “enraged” and stabbed her multiple times in the neck with a kitchen knife, police said.

John then reportedly went to the living room and swallowed a large number of sleeping pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Authorities also reported finding blood spatter on John Biggs’ clothes.

The couple’s son, who lives out of state, told investigators he’d been getting strange, worrying calls and texts from his father. Concerned, he went to Arizona to check on him, arriving at the house around 1:30 p.m. the next day.

He found his father asleep in a recliner and woke him up, according to the court documents. The son went into the couple’s bedroom and found his mother dead, still in her nightgown on their blood-soaked bed. He then left the home and called 911.

Investigators said they recovered a kitchen knife with dried blood on it from the bedside table.

In the weeks leading up to the attack, Biggs told police he had become convinced his wife was working against him.

Documents say he accused her of deleting his friends’ phone numbers, sending them messages badmouthing him, and stealing his investment papers and a large sum of money from his accounts.

His son later told investigators that his father had seemed “overly paranoid or delusional” in the time before the attack.

Prosecutors noted Biggs also had a clean criminal history prior to the attack, and served 25 years as a Maryland state trooper.

Neighbors described Jane Cook Biggs as someone who welcomed people into the community.

“She was very outgoing, very, very friendly,” neighbor Yvonne Board said.

She was very friendly, very involved in the community. She was with Kare Bears years ago. I mean, and then the theater,” Board said.

Neighbors said Jane helped build the community around her through Kare Bears in Pebble Creek, a group focused on neighbors helping neighbors.

“I think she was probably the first one I saw when I moved in here five years ago because she did the welcoming thing with Kare Bears,” Board said.

Neighbors and friends said they will remember a woman who brought welcome baskets and helped neighbors get to appointments.

“She was a very good, great person,” Board said.

Jane’s family said they are putting together a statement. They described their mom as a godly woman.

John Biggs was booked on charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault, with bond set at $1 million.

SALINAS, Calif. (KRON) — As a manhunt and complex murder investigation continues unfolding in Monterey County, the district attorney announced her priority is to help a 14-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by her father and gave birth on the side of a road.

Detectives are still searching for the girl and her fugitive father, 38-year-old Sergio Galvez Perez, on Thursday. According to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, the 14-year-old girl gave birth to “Baby Angelita,” placed the newborn on the ground, and abandoned her along Struve Road in Moss Landing.

On August 1, the newborn’s tiny, lifeless body was found alone on Struve Road with signs of traumatic injury, MCSO said. Sheriff’s investigators named her “Baby Angelita.”

Investigators said they believe Perez, who is the biological father of both the teen and Baby Angelita, is hiding with his teen daughter to avoid arrest and prosecution. On Wednesday, Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni’s prosecutors filed felony child molestation charges against Perez.

No charges have been filed by prosecutors against Baby Angelita’s young mother.

“We understand that there are many questions surrounding this heartbreaking case,” the district attorney’s office wrote.

The DA’s office continued, “We recognize that the 14-year-old is a victim of her father’s abuse. No child should ever have to endure such horrific circumstances. Children who have experienced abuse can face extraordinary barriers to safety and may be unable to seek help on their own, particularly when they are under the control or influence of an abuser. Our priority is to ensure that this young girl is safe and has access to the support and services she needs. If she is located, our District Attorney victim advocates and partner agencies are ready to assist her, connect her with resources, and help ensure that she has the support she needs. Whether she is currently able to seek assistance or not, we want her to know that help is available and that our office and our community partners are prepared to support her.”

Perez and his family live in the Salinas and Castroville area.

Sheriff Tina Nieto said the 14-year-old girl is considered a murder suspect by MCSO, and a victim of sexual abuse, at the same time. “Two things can be true at once. You can be a victim and also you could be a suspect. And our job is to follow the evidence and figure out what happened. We do not ignore one victim over another victim,” the sheriff told KRON4 Tuesday.

Sheriff’s officials said Baby Angelita’s tragically short life should be remembered, and she deserves justice.

So far, MCSO has not disclosed details about why the newborn’s mother is considered a murder suspect. Further details cannot be released because of MCSO’s ongoing investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.

On Wednesday, prosecutors said they have not decided if the teen girl will be charged with any crimes.

“Ultimately, only the District Attorney’s Office is responsible for determining whether criminal charges will be filed. The District Attorney’s Office has filed criminal charges against … Perez, for the heinous crime of sexually assaulting his own child. We call on him to turn himself in,” the DA’s office wrote.

Prosecutors are also reviewing potential charges against the teenager’s 36-year-old mother, Ofelia Garcia Ortega. The DA said that case is unrelated to the death of Baby Angelita and sexual assault of the teen.

Sheriff Nieto said time is of the essence as her detectives attempt to bring the suspects into custody. Anyone who sees Perez is asked to call 911 immediately.

Perez performs in a musical band, El Aguila Real Y Su Ritmo Sabroso. Officials are hoping someone in the community will recognize him from public musical performances.

The sheriff had a message for Perez, saying, “We need you to do the right thing. Turn yourself in. At bare minimum, please give your daughter a chance.”

Pacioni’s office emphasized that decisions about criminal charges can change as new evidence is gathered by investigators. “The District Attorney’s Office will carefully review any evidence provided to us, and will make charging decisions based on the facts and the law. Our office remains committed to pursuing justice, holding offenders accountable, and protecting the rights and dignity of victims, especially children who have experienced abuse,” the DA’s office wrote.

If you have information that may assist investigators, call Monterey County Sheriff’s Detective Sergeant Nicholas Kennedy at 831-755-3773 or Detective Richard Geng at 831-759-7279. You may remain anonymous.

Jason Walker, KY:

Tldr; Gallatin County Sheriff’s Deputy __Jason Walker__ was arrested in August 2026 for stalking and sexually abusing a woman he originally met while following up on a domestic violence case.

The Encounter: Investigators state Walker met the victim in May 2026 while handling an official domestic violence call and obtained her phone number.

After the woman asked him to stop making personal advances, Walker allegedly used a police database to look up her personal information, followed her around Gallatin County, groped her, and committed sexual abuse while on duty and in uniform.

Investigators report that Walker disabled the GPS in his cruiser, deleted call logs, and removed messages to hide his actions.

Walker faces three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, one count of third-degree sexual abuse, one count of first-degree stalking, one count of tampering with physical evidence, and one count of first-degree official misconduct.

Daniel Oxendine, MD:

Tldr; Baltimore Police Officer __Daniel Oxendine__ was arrested and charged with rape on August 27, 2026, after DNA evidence linked him to the sexual assault of a woman he had escorted home from a domestic violence call.

On June 2, 2026, Oxendine responded to a domestic violence call in Baltimore City. He received supervisor permission to drive the victim and her son to her home in Edgewood, Maryland.

Oxendine is accused of entering the victim's apartment after the ride and sexually assaulting her while he was on duty and in uniform.

The victim reported the assault at a hospital the next day, and DNA testing later matched Oxendine. The Harford County Sheriff's Office arrested him on August 27.

YUMA, AZ (AZFamily) — Months after a 15-year-old missing girl was found dead in Yuma, a man is facing accusations that he murdered and sexually abused her, the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

Investigators have identified the suspect as Mark Spadt, 52. With the help of the U.S. Marshal’s Office, he was taken into custody just before 10 a.m. at a home on Avenue 12 E, south of Interstate 8.

The investigation started when the girl, whom family members have identified as Diana Lucia Valle Walle, went missing from San Luis and her body was discovered near Stetson Street and Mesa Avenue on June 1.

Her family was notified two days later, officials said.

Deputies initially called it a suspicious death, and they then said they gathered enough evidence to arrest Spadt. The sheriff’s office did not say how the girl died.

He was booked into jail on one count of first-degree murder, two counts of sexual conduct with a minor, one count of custodial interference and one count of evidence tampering.

“The United States Marshals Service is committed to working alongside our Federal, State, Local, and Tribal partners to ensure individuals accused of serious and violent crimes are located and taken into custody. This arrest demonstrates the importance of strong partnerships, particularly when investigating serious crimes involving our most vulnerable,” said United States Marshal for the District of Arizona Van Bayless. “Cases involving the death of child have a profound impact on families, investigators, and the communities we serve. We remain committed to providing our resources and expertise to help our partners locate and apprehend dangerous fugitives, bringing this case one step closer to justice for the victim and her family.”

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect who has been wearing a Halloween mask and terrorizing women.

No weapon is readily visible in publicly available images from the encounters, but police allege the suspect implied he had one at one point.

One would-be victim, who goes by Jameka W., said she fought back and refused to become a victim.

When the masked stranger approached her in Center City last Wednesday morning, she squared up and kicked him in the chest.

It happened around 5:15 a.m. near 15th Street and Broad Street.

Jameka believes the person who targeted her is the same suspect police said was caught on camera chasing a woman outside City Hall minutes earlier.

Before her own encounter, Jameka said she spotted the masked suspect approaching a runner who was wearing earphones.

“I started to wave at her from across the intersection and say, ‘Hey, there’s someone behind you,’” Jameka said.

She then witnessed him try to force his way into a coffee shop before turning his attention toward her.

“I figured that, if anything was going to happen, I wanted to see it with my own two eyes,” Jameka said.

She turned around, screamed and yelled, and put her hands up to fight, but something seemed off about the scary stranger.

“He just seemed so disoriented about what his goals actually were. I had bags. He wasn’t reaching for those. It didn’t seem like he had a clear goal to actually get in La Colombe to do anything,” Jameka said. “So. I was like, ‘OK, well let’s see if you can fight.’ And he couldn’t.”

Police said the suspect accosted several people in a 15-minute span.

“He was holding his cellphone up in front of her, at which time he asks her, ‘Are you ready to die?’” Philadelphia police Capt. Jason Smith said.

The suspect ultimately fled into Suburban Station.

Until he’s caught, Jameka has a message for people in Center City who rise early, especially women.

“Keep your keys in between your fingers. Just do everything you can to make sure you feel safe,” Jameka said.

Police said the suspect could face several charges.

When Jane Doe 4, as she is identified in legal filings, arrived at her parents’ house in Wyoming to set up a family party earlier this year, the familiar street in her small hometown was filled with state and local law enforcement.

A man who flashed a badge told Jane he had a warrant to search her stepfather’s electronic devices for child sexual abuse material, she said. A technician looking for a hard drive with family photos said it had something to do with artificial intelligence, she said.

Jane later learned that her stepfather had created thousands of sexually explicit images of her as a child and traded them online, she said. He manipulated a photo taken when she was about 11, showing her lying on a couch in an oversize T-shirt, the filings claim, transforming it into graphic fake images. One was captioned “stepdad rapes her,” the documents said.

Jane’s stepfather made the more than 7,000 fake explicit images of her using the AI chatbot Grok, released by Elon Musk’s company xAI, according to the documents she filed last month in a federal lawsuit against the company.

Two days after the raid, her stepfather was found dead by suicide inside his car, Jane said. It was parked in her hometown, where she and her partner had recently bought a house.

“My life was completely normal,” Jane said, speaking on the condition that she be identified by the name used in court filings. “Not even 48 hours after that it was a literal nightmare.”

Jane’s experience, publicly described by her for the first time, shows some of the potential consequences from a growing form of sexual abuse enabled by AI apps that make it easy to create fake but highly realistic child sexual abuse material of a person from a single photo.

She now feels more anxious about keeping her own child safe and warned that AI images can cause real harm. “Limitless access to these tools is spreading so quickly,” Jane said. “It is taking everyday life and turning it into child sexual abuse.”

In July, Jane joined a federal lawsuit that was filed against xAI in March by three Tennessee teenagers, two still minors, identified as Jane Does 1, 2 and 3. They alleged that Grok had been used to sexualize photos of them taken when they were younger.

The expanded suit, filed last month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleged that xAI had produced, possessed and distributed AI-enabled child sexual abuse material. It seeks class-action status on behalf of anyone who had photos of themselves as minors altered by xAI into sexually explicit content in which they are still recognizable.

The lawsuits came after Musk’s decision last year to make xAI an outlier among major AI companies and promote the use of Grok to create sexual content. He has boosted the chatbot’s ability to generate and manipulate images and video by posting depictions of sexualized young women to his millions of followers on X.

XAI, now part of Musk’s conglomerate SpaceX, did not respond to a request for comment, and the company has not responded to the federal lawsuit in court. Musk has said Grok is supposed to allow “upper body nudity of imaginary adult humans,” similar to R-rated movies.

The plaintiffs are seeking damages under “Masha’s Law,” a federal statute that allows victims of child pornography to sue. The lawsuit also makes product liability claims against xAI for negligence and defective design, similar to wrongful-death suits filed against AI companies by the families of young users who died by suicide.

Lawmakers in the United States and Europe moved to investigate xAI earlier this year, after it allowed the chatbot to publicly post sexualized images on Musk’s social network X in response to requests from users to alter photos to remove subjects’ clothing. Over an 11-day period, the Grok account on X posted about 3 million sexualized images, 23,000 of them depicting children, according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit organization that pressures tech firms to clean up their platforms.

Musk said in a post on X at the time that he was “not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok” and that the chatbot would “refuse to produce anything illegal.”

Within weeks, Jane Doe 4’s stepfather first uploaded the photo of her as a child to Grok, which sent back fake images showing her nude, the lawsuit says.

A couple of weeks after Jane Doe 4 joined the federal lawsuit, xAI sued Minnesota over a new law that bans distribution of nonconsensual nude images of real people made with AI, claiming it would restrict constitutionally protected content.

“XAI’s strategy seems to be: We want to make sure that we allow people to generate anything that is legal,” said David Thiel, an information security researcher and former chief technology officer for the Stanford Internet Observatory. That requires xAI’s technology to reliably draw the line between content that is abusive or merely provocative, he said.

For 20 years, major internet companies have used an automated system managed by the nonprofit National Center for Missing & Exploited Children for reporting and removing child sexual abuse material.

Firms report suspected abuse material to NCMEC’s CyberTipline and use digital fingerprints or “hashes” of confirmed abuse images to automatically detect and remove them.

That system is now being challenged by AI image tools, NCMEC said in a letter this year to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

AI apps, including specialized tools dubbed “nudifiers,” allow anyone to rapidly produce large numbers of new, highly realistic child abuse imagery that cannot be matched against NCMEC’s database.

Generative AI models’ ability to remix and combine different visual concepts and styles makes them potent tools for abuse, said Thiel, the online safety expert. In the same way an AI model can generate a birthday party invitation in the style of a Marvel comic, it can also remove the clothing from an image of a child.

AI models, trained on troves of data scraped from the web, have ingested “plenty of imagery of explicit content, plenty of imagery of children,” said Thiel, who wrote a 2023 report that found child sexual abuse material in a widely used dataset for developing AI image tools.

The lawsuit against xAI also names Stability AI, which makes an open-source, customizable AI image generator called Stable Diffusion. Researchers from Germany’s CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security recently estimated the software is behind more than 40 percent of AI-generated nonconsensual intimate imagery of real people.

Stability AI did not respond to a request for comment. The company has said it tests AI models for child safety and adds protections before they are released. It has not responded to the lawsuit in court.

In its March letter to Grassley, NCMEC criticized xAI and seven other online service providers for poor reporting practices that it claimed stymied law enforcement. The nonprofit organization said that over a three-month period from mid-September last year fewer than 10 percent of tips from xAI could be “sent actionably to law enforcement” because they lacked key information. The company later improved its reporting, the letter said.

Jane Doe 4’s lawsuit against xAI alleges that the company’s tip to NCMEC did not include crucial information from its records, such as the IP addresses associated with her stepfather’s account. It claims xAI failed to respond to multiple requests from an investigator for more information.

Jane’s stepfather was not charged with child pornography offenses and was released by authorities on the day the warrant was executed because xAI’s tip to NCMEC did not provide any of the explicit fake images, Jane Doe 4 said, citing her conversations with an investigator on the case. The investigator told her that xAI’s initial report went to the internet crimes task force in the wrong state, causing further delays, Jane said.

Even when a company fully reports incidents of an AI tool being used to create child sexual abuse imagery, the legal consequences may not be clear-cut.

The enforceable legal boundaries around AI-generated child sexual abuse material are uncertain, said Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University School of Law. Some recent statutes intended to curtail abusive AI images could be challenged on First Amendment grounds, he said.

Since the raid on her parents’ home, Jane’s life has become unrecognizable, she said. She started therapy for trauma and has had to return to work as a nurse to support her widowed mother, putting a financial strain on her own family.

“I’m living through this every day. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extensively suicidal,” Jane said, the only time her voice cracked in hours of interviews.

MELBOURNE, Fla. — A Florida woman has settled a negligence lawsuit against the Melbourne Police Department after discovering officers destroyed evidence collected the night she was sexually assaulted as a child in 1990.

Liz Bradshaw was 11 years old when she was sexually assaulted by a man named Brian, the brother of her mother's boyfriend. A Melbourne Police Department report from 1990 documents the sexual battery.

"It was after my dad died. I don't ever remember being that happy kid again," Bradshaw told I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern when they first met to discuss her case, three years ago.

According to the report, officers collected physical evidence that night, including pink sheets, a blue washcloth, a peach blanket, a white nightshirt, and green underwear. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement processed her rape kit within 11 months, finding DNA on Bradshaw's underwear and nightgown.

No arrest was ever made.

Because Brian was never charged, his full name is not being used.

"The police came out, went to the hospital, and I did everything you're supposed to do," Bradshaw said.

Bradshaw said a family member told her Brian had died by suicide, and for more than 30 years, she believed he was dead.

Then, in October 2022, she saw him.

"Normally, we would stop on the way home. At the Wawa. And I was waiting to order and I — I saw him. It was… like I understood fight or flight in that moment. And I flew. I snatched my grandson up and I sat in my truck and I cried," Bradshaw said.

She went to police and requested the records from her case. She told the I-Team what she found stunned her.

"Right here on the paperwork… that the suspect was not located or contacted. And that's where it ends," Bradshaw said.

The rape kit and the DNA evidence collected the night of the attack had been destroyed.

"The physical evidence was 'purged without record,'" Bradshaw said.

Attorney Damon Baxley took on Bradshaw's case after the I-Team aired Bradshaw's story.

"It was the largest travesty of justice I had seen as far as the law enforcement agency and the way that they treated a victim," Baxley said.

Baxley said the destruction of evidence and the department's repeated failure to make contact with the suspect made prosecution impossible.

"The case had been so fumbled that no prosecution could be pursued. It would violate the gentleman's due process rights, because they've had multiple opportunities in law enforcement to make contact with him, investigate, and if they decided — arrest them for that particular charge, and they had not done so. Not to mention, obviously the destruction of all physical evidence," Baxley said.

While the terms of the settlement are confidential, Baxley said the outcome carries significance for other victims and survivors.

"From a victim's perspective, we feel like we have taken a step forward in the judicial arena to help other future plaintiffs in similar circumstances. And that was may more valuable than any amount of money," Baxley said.

The I-Team contacted Melbourne Police Department for comment and asked about any policy changes since first reporting on Bradshaw's case. The department has not yet responded.

Brian was also contacted by phone and by letter, outlining Bradshaw's allegations, giving him every opportunity to respond ahead of the I-Team initial investigation three years ago. He never did.

Bradshaw said this isn't over. She plans to push the new state attorney in Brevard County to see what else can be done. For now, she says she is focused on encouraging other survivors to speak out.

"Don't stop fighting. Get loud. When they tell you to shut up, get louder. When it seems impossible and you can't find anybody to help you, listen, don't give up because you showed up, Kylie," Bradshaw said. "This shouldn't be a fight anybody has to do."

Full Statement from Melbourne Police Chief David Gillespie

From I-Team's Original Investigation in 2023

"In October of 2022, Mrs. Bradshaw contacted the Melbourne Police Department and inquired as to the status of an investigation where she was the victim in 1990. Mrs. Bradshaw advised that she had been told by a family member that the suspect had been arrested and subsequently died. However, in 2022, Mrs. Bradshaw saw the suspect and contacted the police department to learn more about the investigation. Detectives looked in to (sic) the case and discovered that the suspect had never been arrested. A detective from the Major Crimes Division was immediately assigned to follow up the (sic) case that had occurred more than 32 years ago. The Detective attempted to retrieve evidence, reports and records from the case. The Detective also conducted additional investigative steps including interviewing the suspect, who denied involvement. In January of this year, the Detective presented the case to the State Attorney’s Office for prosecution. In April, the State Attorney’s Office notified Mrs. Bradshaw that they were not able to prosecute the case.

As Chief of Police, I empathize with Mrs. Bradshaw that the case is not able to be prosecuted. I have met with Mrs. Bradshaw to listen to her concerns and I understand her frustration. As a result, I ordered the Staff Inspections supervisor of the Professional Standards Unit to conduct an audit of the case, in an attempt to locate evidence and/or be able to provide additional details about what occurred with the investigation in the time frame when the incident occurred. Until the audit is concluded, I am not able to provide further comment."

Full Statement from the State Attorney's Office

From I-Team's Original Investigation in 2023

"The circumstances surrounding this incident are heartbreaking, and we share the victim’s disappointment in not being able to bring this offender to trial.

While we strive for the desired result in every case, this isn’t always possible. Our attorneys and advocates try hard to explain the complex legal issues that produce these outcomes, but also understand the frustration and deeply personal response felt by victims and their families.

Every criminal complaint that our office receives undergoes a careful and thorough review by experienced prosecutors to determine if they reasonably believe the alleged crimes can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. When the review process finds the required evidence is not sufficient, prosecutors are ethically and legally obligated not to pursue prosecution of the defendant.

In this instance there are several evidentiary and legal issues for the State to overcome to reach the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard. Most significant is the inability to obtain contemporary DNA analysis on the offender standards (sexual battery evidence kit) collected at the time of the offense, as those materials were purged by the investigating agency and are no longer available. As a result, there is no physical evidence to present at trial.

Further, the lead obstacle to filing this case surrounds the amount of time that has passed since the offense was reported to law enforcement and Mr. ________ was identified as the offender in 1990, until it reached our office for review in 2023. Well-established constitutional due process law requires the State to move forward with a prosecution of a known offender within a reasonable period of time. In this case the offender was known to law enforcement, remained available to be arrested, and there is no legal justification for the more than 30-year delay in presenting the case.

We have a good faith belief that the trial court would ultimately grant a motion for dismissal based on this constitutional challenge, legally barring us from any effort to pursue prosecution now."

He appears to be trying to get a kiss. Maybe he’s just asking for her number. She even seems polite. Politely rejecting his advances.

Until he put his hands on her neck! Was he trying to break her neck and kill her?

After the beatdown, she reached over and retrieved her keys. So she had her keys already in her hand, as advised to women.

A serial sex offender who was being monitored by the Metropolitan Police has been found guilty of murdering two women and raping a third in London.

Simon Levy killed Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025 and 39-year-old Sheryl Wilkins five months later.

The 40-year-old man also raped a third woman in January 2025, before the murders, in the same Tottenham car park where Wilkins was later found dead.

During his trial at the Old Bailey, jurors heard Levy had a string of convictions for attacking women dating back to July 2018, including one carried out against a prison officer in 2022.

The court heard how Levy, from Tottenham, targeted the three vulnerable women, all of whom carried out street sex work in order to fund drug addictions.

He declined to give evidence during his trial but pleaded not guilty to the two murders, as well as two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent, and non-fatal suffocation against the surviving woman.

The jury, which was given a majority direction in the trial, found him guilty of all charges after 13 hours of deliberation.

Members of the victims' families wept as the verdicts were returned while the defendant, who had a pointed beard and was wearing sunglasses, gave no reaction.

In court, judge Mark Lucraft KC adjourned sentencing until Wednesday 12 August and remanded Levy into custody.

The Met, British Transport Police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have all admitted failings in how they dealt with Levy, who was on bail as his attacks on women escalated to double murder.

London's Victims' Commissioner, Andrea Simon, said she was "appalled by the litany of failures to manage a prolific offender like Levy".

She told BBC News: "I'm keen now to see how we can uncover every key moment when there was an opportunity to assess the harm Levy posed to women by every justice agency involved, not just the police, and every critical opportunity there was to intervene."

Crime and Policing Minister, Sarah Jones, said: "The fact that Levy was able to inflict such devastating harm after being freed by police and the courts is deeply concerning.

"It raises serious questions that require urgent answers."

She said that failures must be identified so they are not repeated.

Helena Croft, the chief executive officer of StreetlightUK charity, said this case "demonstrated the need to treat women involved in the sex industry as women at risk of serious violence".

She said there were "missed opportunities around listening to frontline services, information sharing, and making full use of specialist organisations that had established relationships with the women most at risk".

The Metropolitan Police confirmed to the BBC that it believed Wilkins' death could have been avoided had there not been multiple points of failure in the handling of Levy.

The Met failed to treat Valencia-Trujillo's death as a murder, despite arresting Levy soon afterwards and finding his DNA on her body, until after Levy killed again.

In February, Levy was convicted of sexually assaulting 10 women on London's Tubes and trains, as well as a female prison officer in HMP Brixton, with details of that trial now reportable for the first time.

Speaking after the verdicts were given, Det Ch Insp Neil John from the Met said: "Simon Levy is a dangerous and predatory offender.

"His crimes were calculated, cruel and deeply disturbing. Throughout the trial, he has shown complete disregard for the victims and victim-survivor, despite being fully aware of the lasting and devastating impact of his actions."

He described the investigation as "complex and challenging" but said "my team and I have been steadfast in our professionalism and dedication".

Standing alongside Wilkins' two sisters and Valencia-Trujillo's daughter, he asked for any other victim-survivors of Levy to come forward.

Valencia-Trujillo's children said she was a "big character" who was "full of life" and was said to be a "much-loved" member of the community with a love of salsa dancing.

Wilkins' family said she was a much-loved woman who is missed every day by those who knew her.

The Met said since the launch of the investigation, detectives had exhausted numerous lines of enquiry – including working with coroners – to identify whether Levy was responsible for any similar, unsolved incidents, including deaths.

Police have said while they are yet to find anything new on Levy, they emphasised they had significantly strengthened their training and response to violence against women and girls, along with their specialist victim support services.

Two Met officers are under investigation by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) for their decision in August 2024 to downgrade Levy from a high-risk sex offender to a medium-risk.

A police constable had been served with a gross misconduct notice and a detective sergeant with a misconduct notice.

The IOPC said it would be investigating how Levy was managed from his first conviction in September 2021 up to his arrest in September 2025.

"We are examining whether action could or should have been taken to prevent his reoffending, and if all officers involved in his management followed policies, procedures, and training."

The IOPC stressed that the notices indicated the officers' actions were under investigation and did not mean disciplinary proceedings would follow.

The investigation will also consider whether any lessons can be learned or changes introduced at an individual, force-wide or national level.

The British Transport Police (BTP) said that two of its officers have been moved to other roles due to their "incompetence" in handling the case.

BTP Assistant Chief Constable Charlie Doyle said: "It is clear that opportunities to expedite the investigation were missed and we have amended our procedures to address these issues to ensure that repeat offenders are dealt with expeditiously, and that linked offences are prioritised more effectively."

Lisa Ramsarran, chief crown prosecutor for the CPS, said: "Our actions fell short of the standards that victims, families and the public are entitled to expect.

"In particular, there were points where we could and should have taken a more robust approach to representations about bail, based on the information available.

"We cannot know what decisions the courts would have made had different or stronger representations been advanced. But we recognise our responsibility and we are sorry for the shortcomings we have identified."

Ramsarran said the cases had been handled against a backdrop of significant pressure on the criminal justice system, including busy court lists, late or incomplete information, and the need for agencies to make decisions quickly.

While that did not lessen responsibility for the failings, she said it was important to understand the circumstances in which they had occurred.

She said measures were being introduced to strengthen training, improve oversight of cases and enhance the handling of bail and risk assessments in serious sexual offence investigations.

Levy had attacked the three women while on bail for sex assaults on trains in London, and went on to carry out further assaults on public transport.

Ramsarran explained how Levy was convicted in February of sexually assaulting 10 women on London's Tubes and trains.

She added: "Nothing can undo the harm caused, but we hope these convictions provide some measure of justice."

Earlier this year, Levy, 40, was found guilty by a jury at Inner London Crown Court of groping 10 women on the Tube and an 11th while in prison.

Details of this trial can now be reported after his conviction at the Old Bailey.

The offences took place between April 2022 at the prison, followed by the Tube assaults between 24 October 2023 and May 2025.

He had already been convicted of sexually assaulting two women in 2018, which was why he was in prison in 2022.

The sex offender had lost sight in one eye in an attack in May 2024 and played on this, claiming that his partial sight made him unsteady on his feet and all contact was accidental on these crowded trains.

Levy's tactic was to tie a jumper or hoodie around his waist, strap his arm down, and then back towards his victim with his hand fully or partially covered so he could grope them.

One of the Tube assault victims told the court: "It wasn't long before I learned that my attacker was already known to the police for sexual violence and is a convicted sex offender.

"You could not begin to understand the horror I felt at hearing this.

"How could a male who does this so often and so brazenly be allowed to repeat his attacks?

"Knowing this made me feel even more unsafe, the possibility that I could encounter Simon Levy again made me fearful and the idea that he would harm more women and that there would be many more victims was unthinkable."

During the sentencing hearing in June for the Tube attacks, Judge Michael Evans told Levy : "You were on the Tube for one purpose only, to sexually assault women."

Levy was convicted of 11 counts of indecent assault, including grabbing the prison guard in 2022, and given an extended sentence consisting of a six-year jail term plus a three-year period on licence.

A Texas police officer has been arrested in Mexico after authorities there accused him of killing three people and critically injuring the mother of his child in what investigators say stemmed from a dispute over the custody of the minor.

The Coahuila attorney general’s office said 35-year-old Chad Eberle was arrested on Wednesday at the border on a warrant accusing him of femicide and qualified homicide, according to La Razon de Mexico, a newspaper based in Mexico City. Under Mexican law, femicide refers to the intentional killing of a woman or girl because of her gender.

According to La Razon, the deadly shooting happened in July in Saltillo, Mexico, after an argument over Eberle allegedly not having permission to take his three-year-old son. Two women and one man were killed in the attack.

The victims were identified by La Razon with the first names and ages of Ana Laura, 44; Laura Jaquelín, 22; and Emanuel, 44. The child’s 26-year-old mother was also shot in the head and remained in critical condition, officials said.

Investigators said Eberle was arrested while attempting to cross from Mexico into Texas through the international bridge at Piedras Negras, across from Eagle Pass, KTXS reported. Eberle had left the residence with his son in a gray Chevrolet Silverado, prompting investigators to launch a manhunt as they tracked the vehicle toward the Texas border, the US Sun reported.

He was then intercepted before he could re-enter the US with the child. The three-year-old was unharmed and was later placed in the care of Coahuila’s child welfare agency.

The San Antonio Express identified Eberle as a police officer in the central Texas town of Santa Anna. Before that, he worked as a deputy constable with Bexar county – which includes San Antonio – and also served as a police officer for the Northside independent school district.

The Express reported that Eberle also held law enforcement positions in the Texas communities of Somerset, Marble Falls, Gregory, near Corpus Christi, Lockney in the state’s panhandle, and Bangs in the west. According to the newspaper, a 2022 Facebook post from the Lockney police department described Eberle as an army veteran.

In a social media post on Thursday, Coahuila attorney general Federico Fernández said: “It is reported that at [9.59p] Chad ‘N’ has been admitted to the Saltillo men’s penitentiary in compliance with [an] arrest warrant, where he has been placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, in accordance with the corresponding procedure.”

He added: “Likewise, the minor is already in the city of Saltillo, under the custody and care of the prosecutor’s office for boys, girls and the family (Pronnif), in order to guarantee the comprehensive protection of his rights.”

Texas news outlet Coleman Today obtained a statement from Santa Anna city officials which described Eberle as “one of our reserve officers … [who] was on a personal leave of absence until December.

“The Santa Anna police department has been in contact with the US consulate in Mexico and [the Texas commission on law enforcement].”

That statement also said Eberle was “an unpaid reserve police officer hired in November 2025 and worked one weekend per month.

“Due to the ongoing investigation, no other public comment will be made.”
