‘Mean Girls’ Accused of Faking Sex Assaults to Implicate Boy
A lawsuit filed by the parents of a Pennsylvania boy who was accused of sexually assaulting two teen girls alleges the accusers and their friends conspired against the boy by falsifying the allegations. Per Trib Live, the suit filed in a Pittsburgh federal court claims the boy, identified as T.F., was the target of lies that lead to false charges against him and his being bullied at Seneca Valley High School. Dubbing them “Mean Girls” in a play on the conniving characters of the book and film of the same name, the suit filed on behalf of T.F.’s parents alleges one teen girl first claimed he assaulted her in July 2017 while another claimed she witnessed it. Per PennLive, the suit says the accuser was later recorded by school officials as she explained that she made up the assault against T.F., saying “I just don’t like him.”
While T.F. was charged in juvenile court, he was given a consent decree in which he admitted no fault while committing to checking in with the probation department for six months. In April, a second girl claimed T.F. entered her home and assaulted her after which two other girls supported her claim, the suit alleges, leading to his being hauled out of school in shackles and placed on home confinement pending a hearing. In May, the suit says three of the girls admitted they had lied to authorities. Prosecutors moved to dismiss charges against T.F. in August. His parents’ lawsuit cites gender bias and asks for civil damages against the girls’ parents, the school district, and the Butler County District Attorney’s office.

Gas station owner asks customer not to warm urine in store microwave; customer asked to see a sign saying so
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Florida gas station owner has placed a sign in his store asking customers not to warm urine in the microwave.
Parul Patel says he’s become “sick and tired” of people walking into his BP gas station and On the Fly convenience store in Jacksonville to warm their containers of urine. The store is within walking distance of two labs, though one says it doesn’t collect samples for drug tests.
Patel tells First Coast News the people “walk in off the street, microwave their urine containers then leave.”
Warming urine from someone who hasn’t taken drugs is seen by some as a way to help pass a drug test.
Patal says a woman became aggressive a few months ago when he asked her not to warm urine. She asked to see a sign that says it’s not for that purpose. So he made one.

Indiana 17-Year-Old Allegedly Raped Multiple Schoolmates, Told Girl ‘Just Loosen Up’
Two felony counts of rape have been filed in Indiana against a 17-year-old high school student who has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least four female schoolmates.
PEOPLE obtained a probable cause affidavit against Levi Stewart, who has been charged as an adult and faces up to 32 years in prison if convicted.
The Plainfield teen was released from custody on Sept. 10 on $5,000 bond. He will be asked to enter pleas to the charges at his next court hearing, scheduled for Nov. 14.
Authorities accuse Stewart of “threatening, intimidating and harassing young female students in his classes to engage in sexual activity with him,” the probable cause affidavit states.
According to the affidavit, Stewart allegedly coerced two 17-year-old girls into performing sex acts on him. He was arrested Sept. 6 on the rape charges.
Police interviewed two other girls — a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old — who said Stewart forced them into engaging in sexual activity in a public park in Plainfield.
The allegations against Stewart span a period of 18 months.
The affidavit alleges investigators were contacted by school officials in late August after female students came forward to accuse Stewart of “harassing and touching” them following an Aug. 17 football game at Plainfield High School. It wasn’t clear from the affidavit whether the girls who initially accused Stewart are among the four identified as accusers in the affidavit.
One of the four accusers in the affidavit told police Stewart used physical force with her when she refused his sexual demands, allegedly hitting her arm or slapping her. Another time he was rejected, Stewart allegedly grabbed the girl by the neck and screamed at her, according to the affidavit.
Another accuser described how Stewart would allegedly forcibly kiss her while unbuttoning her pants. The affidavit further alleges Stewart forced that accuser to perform oral sex on him by grabbing her by the back of the head and pushing her face towards his crotch.
“Do it,” he demanded, according to the affidavit. “You’re already down there.”
The affidavit details allegations of how another accuser once was forcibly molested by Stewart: When she asked him to stop, he allegedly told her to “just loosen up,” the affidavit states.
A Plainfield Schools spokeswoman provided The Indianapolis Star with a statement on the arrest, stating administrators “cooperated fully with law enforcement authorities throughout their investigation.”
The statement adds: “It is our obligation and responsibility to protect the privacy of students, and we do not anticipate making further comment on this matter.”
Neither Stewart nor his attorney were available for comment Thursday.
Comedian Dave Chappelle backs childhood friend Jealous for Md. governor
WASHINGTON — A Maryland gubernatorial hopeful recently secured the rare endorsement from a prominent comedian who was born in D.C. and grew up in Maryland.
Comedian Dave Chappelle is throwing his name behind longtime friend and Democratic candidate for Maryland Governor, Ben Jealous. This marks the first time that the Chappelle Show star and stand-up comedian has officially endorsed any political candidate.
Chappelle told WTOP that his history with Jealous gave him confidence that the gubernatorial hopeful would make a good leader for the state of Maryland.
“I’ve known Ben since I was 17,” Chappelle said. “I knew of him all my life, but when I was 17 we became really good friends — and since that time he has been a committed community servant. A guy with his resume could have done a lot of things to make a lot of money, and he stayed committed to the things that were important to him. And he made a difference.”
The actor and comedian had a response for those who might say that entertainers should not get involved in issues of politics, as well.
“Those people can say whatever they want. Actors are gonna get involved in politics because American life allows anyone to say whatever they feel like they need to say,” Chappelle said. “And, I don’t go out here and say everything every time I see something wrong or feel some kind of way, but in this particular election there is somebody that I personally know that is very inspiring and very exciting and they’re running for an office for a state that I was raised in the first 10 years of my life, and I think he’s in a position to make a palpable difference.”
Jealous is lagging behind Republican incumbent Larry Hogan in the polls, though he tells WTOP that the numbers are not shaking his belief in the viability of his campaign.
“Back on June 26, the polls all said we would lose the primary for months — literally we lost every poll until we won the election by ten points,” Jealous said.
“If you go back four years ago, Larry Hogan was in the same place I am right now. What we know is that it’s not the polls that decides who wins and it’s not money that decides who wins — it’s the people of our state and the people of our state have shown themselves time and time again to defy the prognostications of pollsters and pundits,” Jealous said.
Chappelle had a parting message to everyone ahead of the upcoming election cycle.
“Try to get out and vote — no matter what you believe — because that’s the only way this is gonna work.”

What you have to do is make sure you’re perfect for yourself.”

Angie Stone is ‘still waiting on a check’ from Bruno Mars after he admitted Uptown Funk was inspired by her group’s 1979 song Funk You Up
Angie Stone still hasn’t been paid for her contribution to Bruno Mars’ Grammy-winning track Uptown Funk.
In fact, the 56-year-old soul singer has claimed that two of her songs with rap group The Sequence were used as inspiration for Mars’ track.
The R&B songstress sat down with Sister Circle Live this week and discussed the lack of recognition she’s received for her 1979 song Funk You Up and how it was used in Mars’ collaboration with Mark Ronson.
‘He never sampled it, he did an interpolation, which is when you re-record something and kinda twist it around,’ the Wish I Didn’t Miss You hitmaker told the hosts.
‘He did give us accolades, they just kinda got rid of it. He made a post on Twitter, months before, saying that his inspiration came from The Sequence,’ she explained.
The South Carolina born star then added that a second song by her rap group was used in Uptown Funk.
She explained, ‘He also used a song called Let’s Dance, when you hear that “Mm, jump on it,” you know, that was part of The Sequence’s repertoire as well.
‘So it was actually two songs in the song.’ she added.
It was reported in December 2017 that Angie and bandmates Cheryl Cook and Gwendolyn Chisolm are suing Mars and Ronson and seeking financial restitution for the ‘significant and substantially similar compositional elements’ of Uptown Funk to their track Funk You Up.
‘He never came back, and I’m still waiting on him to at least admit hey, we deserve this, because about 10 people have got their checks and I’m still waiting on mine.’ Angie told Sister Circle.
The Grammy-nominated singer is staying upbeat about the whole thing, however, as she quipped, ‘I’ll be rich and famous one day!’.
The Sequence was the first female rap team signed to the Sugar Hill label and one of the pioneers of old school hip hop.
When released, Funk You Up was the third rap song ever to reach Billboard’s Top 50 Singles.
The rappers want an undisclosed amount of money from the singer – Mars- and songwriter – Ronson- of Uptown Funk.
Both Mars and Ronson have found themselves in legal trouble before over copyright issues with the song.
In September, a suit was filed by Lastrada Entertainment Company, Ltd., the music publishing house that holds the copyright to Zapp’s 1980 song More Bounce to the Ounce.
The court documents claimed: ‘Mark Ronson failed in his goal to write something new. Substantial parts of ‘Uptown Funk’ were copied from ‘More Bounce to the Ounce.’
‘The significant and substantial similarities between the two songs have been widely commented on by ordinary observers, musicians, independent critics and commentators.’
The lawsuit draws comparisons to the settlement Marvin Gaye’s family received after Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams’ Blurred Lines unintentionally copied Gaye’s 1977 hit Got to Give It Up.
