04-10 School Shooter Ethan Crumbley’s Parents Sentenced Up to 15 Years in Prison for Manslaughter

The first parents to ever be charged, then convicted, in their child’s mass shooting at a U.S. school were both sentenced Tuesday to 10 to 15 years in prison after they faced the victims’ families at a sentencing hearing in a Michigan courtroom.

James Crumbley, 47, and his wife, Jennifer, 46, were sentenced one after another by Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Matthews as they appeared together for the first time since they attended joint hearings before their landmark trials were separated last fall. Their son, Ethan, now 17, pleaded guilty as an adult to the 2021 shooting at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit and was sentenced to life in prison.

04-08 It’s Monday. Time to Sound the Alarm on SEXTORTION – A NATIONAL CRISIS – Affecting Teenage Boys & Escalating

Sextortion is a form of child sexual exploitation where children are threatened or blackmailed, most often with the possibility of sharing with the public a nude or sexual images of them, by a person who demands additional sexual content, sexual activity or money from the child. This crime may happen when a child has shared an image with someone they thought they knew or trusted, but in many cases they are targeted by an individual they met online who obtained a sexual image from the child through deceit, coercion, or some other method. In many cases, the blackmailers may have stolen or taken images of another person and they are communicating through a fake account. The blackmailer may have sent images as well.

NCMEC has seen a dramatic increase in sextortion cases being reported to our CyberTipline, especially financial sextortion where the offender demands money from the child. Teenage boys have been the most common targets in these recent cases.

04-05 GREAT NEWS! VA House Bill 268 Signed Into Law Yesterday by Gov. Youngkin Recognizing Children Who Are Victims of Sex Trafficking or Sexual Assault & Commit a Crime Against their Abuser Will be Protected

VIRGINIA House Bill 268 was signed into law yesterday by Governor Glenn Youngkin recognizing that children who are victims of sex trafficking or sexual assault and subsequently commit a crime against their abuser should be provided with treatment and services tailored to address their trauma. Specifically, this bill would add a provision to the law that directs Courts to consider the trauma of child victims of sexual abuse or trafficking at a Circuit Court transfer hearing and prioritize that child receiving the appropriate treatment and services in Juvenile Court so they can be held accountable for their actions in a trauma-informed, age-appropriate manner.

“Human trafficking is a heartbreaking reality affecting Virginians — particularly women and girls,” said first lady Suzanne S. Youngkin in the news release. “Through awareness and education about this danger, coupled with robust law enforcement, we can create a safer and more just Commonwealth for all.”

Delegate Mike Cherry said in the news release, “Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. Full stop. With the Governor’s signature of House Bill 633, our Commonwealth takes an important step toward eradicating this vile crime. Local prosecutors anywhere in Virginia now have the ability to bring charges against those who prey on vulnerable populations and obtain speedy convictions as opposed to waiting years for the federal judicial process to play out.”

04-04 Illinois Lawmakers Consider Measure to Criminalize AI-Generated Child Porn (We call it CSAM – Child Sexual Abuse Material)

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois legislators have been looking at how state law needs to adapt to address the advent of artificial intelligence and its influence on society, and on Tuesday, the discussion focused on legislation related to Internet sex crimes against children.

At a House committee hearing, lawmakers debated a measure that would prohibit the use of AI technology to create child pornography, regardless of whether it involved real children or fake images that evoke obscene imagery.

The measure, which ultimately passed through the House Judiciary Criminal Committee, is being pushed by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. Its main sponsor is state Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz, a Glenview Democrat who has been working on ways to have state law keep up with the new technology.

During the hearing, Gong-Gershowitz said this AI content is “quickly” reaching a point of being indiscernible from authentic child pornography images.

“The mass creation of AI-generated child pornography material will only make it more difficult for law enforcement to stop child trafficking,” she told the panel. “Law enforcement will not only have to deal with the sheer volume of … content, but also identifying that the content depicts a real child or is the sole creation of AI. And while no real child may have been harmed at the AI-generated content, it normalizes abusive behavior, namely when it purports to depict sexual abuse of a child.”
