Outcry as California child predator granted elderly parole

A Sacramento man convicted in 1999 of kidnapping and molesting eight children—luring them with candy and toys—has been granted elderly parole and will be released from the California Institution for Men in Chino, provoking anger from victims and the prosecutor who oversaw the case. Despite a sentence of 20 years plus three consecutive 25‑to‑life terms, the parole board deemed him suitable under California’s elderly parole rules, and the decision was upheld on review. Critics question how the program applies to him, with one survivor calling the parole a disservice to Californians. Prosecutors and advocates have urged screening him as a sexually violent predator, though CDCR did not comment on the release date or rationale.

Rescue ends with all nine victims recovered in Sierra Nevada avalanche

All nine victims of the Sierra Nevada avalanche have been recovered after a multi-day, helicopter-assisted search; eight were found earlier this week and the last on Saturday. The group included six women who were close friends and experienced skiers, along with three professional guides, while six others survived. The incident is the deadliest avalanche in the U.S. since 1981, and responders faced brutal weather and a flight restriction while continuing mitigation and rescue operations.

Epstein document dump sparks debate over redactions and public access

The DOJ published about 3.5 million Epstein-related documents, but critics say redactions and incomplete disclosures leave major questions unanswered about accomplices, the timing of investigations, and ties to powerful figures; lawmakers argue privacy rules were not properly applied and more records should be released, while officials say a Congressional report will justify redactions and outline further releases.

Epstein Victims Urge Court to Disable DOJ Document Site After Identity Leaks

Victims’ lawyers say the latest Epstein document release failed to redact names, exposing survivors; a Manhattan judge scheduled a hearing to consider temporarily shutting the DOJ’s public file site while redactions are corrected, with the DOJ promising to redact further and repost within 24–36 hours and to consider independent oversight.

DOJ Defends Epstein File Release, Says No One Was Shielded

Deputy AG Todd Blanche defended the DOJ’s final Epstein-file release, insisting no one—including President Trump—was protected and that the review complied with the law, even though Congress’s deadline had expired; the release spans roughly 3 million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos with victims’ faces redacted, and the White House had no oversight over the process.

Spain's Catholic Church and government agree on sexual abuse victim compensation plan

Spain's Catholic Church has reached an agreement with the government to compensate victims of sexual abuse by clergy, aiming to address past failures and expand access to justice, including cases beyond the statute of limitations. The new system involves a government-managed process where victims can seek symbolic, psychological, or economic reparations, with the Church responsible for executing these reparations. This move follows global trends of addressing historical abuse within the Church and is seen as a moral and moral debt repayment.
