Drunk mom left young daughter alone on flight to offer stranger oral sex
A drunk British mom abandoned her 7-year-old daughter on a flight to try to have sex with a stranger who let her drink his duty-free vodka, according to a report.
Louise Whyte, 38, left her “distressed” daughter alone on the jet to Turkey to instead sit with a man who had bought her drinks while they waited to board, the court heard, according to the Manchester Evening News.
She then drank around two-thirds of his 70cl bottle of vodka — a hair smaller than the fifth-of-a-gallon bottles sold in the states — and started trying to kiss and grope him, as he flew with his own 11-year-old son, the hearing was told Monday of last May’s flight.
The mom “repeatedly offered to perform oral sex upon him and was touching his thigh and saying that she would put her jacket over her head,” prosecutor Charlotte Crangle said, according to the report.
“At one point, she started to pull down her own trousers and underwear,” Crangle added.
Whyte was flown back to the UK, where she was arrested on arrival. Her daughter’s father picked up the distressed girl at the airport and had custody during a six-week investigation by social services, the report says.
The mom told cops she had been prescribed diazepam and codeine and was “not aware” they would be so troublesome when mixed with alcohol, the court heard, according to the Evening News.
The male passenger — not being identified because he is a victim of a sex crime — already thought Whyte “appeared a bit tipsy or under the influence of prescription drugs” when he first encountered her at Manchester Airport while she looked for a lost phone, the court heard.
They had “one or two drinks” together at the terminal bar — then she walked over to him on the plane to get the bottle of vodka she knew he had bought in duty-free, the prosecutor explained.
“He became concerned that she was becoming intoxicated and warned her not to become so drunk when she had her daughter to look after,” Crangle, the prosecutor, said, according to the report.
After trying to “appease” her by drinking with her, the man buzzed for stewards for help — with Whyte then propositioning and assaulting him after telling him it was “time for them to go to bed,” the court heard.

Woman left ‘physically sick’ after finding menstrual blood stains on new ASOS jumpsuit
A woman has blasted ASOS after a “brand new” jumpsuit she ordered from the website arrived with menstrual blood stains in the crotch.
Roxy Williams, 36, from Cheltenham, England, shared an image of the grim discovery with her 3,000 thousand Twitter followers.
She wrote: “I know people wash new clothes before they wear them but you shouldn’t HAVE to wash them first, unlike this supposedly ‘brand new’ jumpsuit I bought on ASOS. Yes, this is SOMEONE ELSE’S PERIOD BLOOD. And it’s hand-wash only.”
What’s more, Williams only noticed the bloodstains after she put the jumpsuit on — which she’d bought for $52 reduced from $65 in the sale.
“I didn’t expect to have to check it for bodily fluids first, so I put it on Tuesday morning, with the intention of wearing it to work that day,” she told The Sun.
“It’s backless, so I took it off to put another layer on underneath. It was only when it laid inside-out that I saw the bloodstains.
“For a second I thought I must’ve started my period early (I hadn’t!) but on closer inspection, it was very obviously someone else’s dried period blood.”
Unsurprisingly, Williams was horrified by the discovery and said it made her feel “physically sick.”
After tagging ASOS in the tweet, the brand then responded saying they would look into the matter for her.
However, the shopper says it’s been a “nightmare” trying to contact them as they’ve sent her a “string of automated direct messages with conflicting information.”
In a private Twitter conversation, ASOS’ customer service account reassured Williams that they would give her her money back.
“I have since had an actual call back from someone called Vikki in their customer care team promising me a full refund, a discount on another order and they will cover the costs to have it cleaned,” she said.
“But it was like trying to get blood out of a stone to get any real response from ASOS, pun very much intended…!”

New mom has baby taken away after failing drug test — by eating poppy seed bread
An Alabama mother had her newborn baby taken away from her after a drug-test detected traces of opiates in her system — from poppy seed bread she ate a day earlier, according to reports.
Rebecca Hernandez, of Huntsville, was given a drug test after giving birth at Crestwood Medical Center last Tuesday — and her son was swiftly removed after it came back positive for opiates, WAFF reports.
By the time a more official state laboratory test came back Friday stating she was clean, the new mother had lost three days with her new baby.
The original test turned out to be a “false-positive,” a result that Hernandez’s doctor attributed to the poppy seed bread she consumed on Monday, WAFF reports.
“I mean, this is a nightmare for the whole family,” Hernandez told the station through a translator. “You know, a newborn baby, they have to be with the mom. They have to close to the mom.”
The newborn, along with Hernandez’s 13-month-old, were sent to live temporarily with Hernandez’s aunt and uncle, who also had to submit to a drug screening before being granted custody, according to WAFF.
Dr. Yashica Robinson, an obstetrician and gynecologist, is now calling for an end of same-day drug screenings at hospitals, saying staffers should instead rely on laboratory-confirmed tests before contacting social service agencies.
“Screening tests can have what we call false-positive results, where other things can interfere with those results,” Robinson told the station. “You can have a substance that a patient eats, as in this case, like poppy seeds that can make the test positive for opioids.”
Poppy seeds, which are derived from opium poppies, can contain traces of morphine, which can trigger a positive test result.
“I understand everything is a process,” Hernandez told the station Thursday. “I understand everything — I mean, you have to follow rules. But they should’ve done some more research before they decided to call [the Alabama Department of Human Resources].”
A message seeking comment from Crestwood Medical Center was not immediately returned Tuesday. However, the hospital said it was “committed to following the law and regulatory requirements” in a statement to WAFF.
“Our hospital also incorporates patient care practices that are established by credentialed members of our medical staff so as to further ensure safe and quality care for all of our patients,” the statement read.

Mom of Rutgers U. freshman killed by train sues school, fraternity where he was partying
The mother of a Rutgers University student who was struck and killed by a train after leaving a fraternity party in 2017 has filed a wrongful death suit against the university, the police department, and the fraternity.
Claudia Patterson, the mother of freshman Kenneth Patterson, filed suit in Superior Court of Middlesex County in Dec. 2019, saying that Theta Delta Chi, the fraternity that threw the party, was under disciplinary action, and Rutgers should have known they were serving alcohol anyway.
A university spokesperson declined to comment on the pending litigation, but said Rutgers cooperated with the Amtrak Police Department during the investigation.
“The University was deeply saddened by the death of Kenneth Patterson and offered our condolences to his family and counseling services to our students affected by this tragic loss,” Neal Buccino said in a statement sent to NJ Advance Media.
Patterson, a native of Rockaway, was killed the night of Theta Delta Chi’s TDXmas party on Dec. 9, 2017, the suit says. He was drunk when he left the Huntington Street frat house, and was later struck and killed by an Amtrak train trying to walk back to his dorm room, a friend told the Daily Record.
Theta Delta Chi was under sanctions not to hold any parties or fraternity related events at the time, the suit says, but it’s not clear why. The fraternity did not return NJ Advance Media’s request for comment.
The fraternity “acted with complete disregard for the safety of others” in giving alcohol to underage students, the suit says. It also alleges that Rutgers failed in their duty to oversee fraternity events on campus.
In addition to the lawsuit, the Patterson family has launched the “Justice for KJP” initiative on social media, looking for more information on what happened between the time Kenneth Patterson left the party and his death.
“We still have no answers but you have great friends who celebrate your beautiful, vibrant life with us. I miss you every day and hope one day we find out the real story,” Claudia Patterson wrote on the second anniversary of his death.

Cancer patient gets 10 months in jail for shoplifting $110 in groceries
A Pennsylvania woman with advanced-stage ovarian cancer has been sentenced to at least 10 months behind bars for stealing nearly $110 worth of groceries — prompting a Twitter tirade from the state’s lieutenant governor.
Ashley Menser, 36, was sentenced last week by Lebanon County Judge Samuel A. Kline to 10 months to 7 years in jail — after pleading guilty to shoplifting $109.63 worth of merchandise from a Weis Markets in 2018, the Patriot-News reported.
She made off with makeup, hair dye, a candle and a “Super Skinny Serum” product, the paper reported.
In a Twitter thread, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman urged Kline to “err on the side of mercy” — arguing that Menser had an oncology appointment on the same day as her sentencing.
“Release her immediately and allow the medical evaluation that was scheduled at @PennStHershey on the 22nd,” he wrote. “I’ll personally deliver a check to the @WeisMarkets today she shoplifted from for $110.”
“Simply let her doctor evaluate her condition and that be the basis for moving forward,” he continued. “As draconian it is to imprison someone for nearly 10 months over shoplifting $109, that’s a different discussion. It’s not controversial to allow an immediate unbiased medical evaluation determine the just path forward.”
But Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf shot back at Fetterman, saying that the pol “found it appropriate to criticize the court and the victim,” according to a statement obtained by the Patriot-News.
“He failed to mention in any of his tweets, however, the extensive prior record of the defendant, her drug abuse, or the fact that her sentencing ranges — as set forth by the legislature — call for jail time,” Graf wrote.
Graf argued that Menser had pleaded “open,” meaning that the court can decide the sentence it deems appropriate.
Menser’s attorneys have requested house arrest so she could continue to receive medical treatment, the paper reported. Her parents argued that corrections staff have neglected the woman’s treatment in the week she’s been behind bars.
But Graf pointed to a 2019 document submitted by Menser’s own attorney, indicating that she had refused treatment at some point.
“The court rejected the notion of house arrest given the defendant’s extensive prior criminal record and the circumstance of the current offense,” the district attorney wrote.
Fetterman said he is standing behind his tweets — although he never intended to stir up such a strong reaction.
“I’m not going to get into a shoving match with the district attorney,” he told WPMT-TV. “I am just suggesting that they [err] on the side of compassion and allow this woman to see her doctor.”
“This is not public enemy number one. This is not Hannibal [Lecter] that they have to, you know, wheel out in a catcher’s mask and in a gurney,” the lieutenant governor added, referring to the “Silence of the Lambs” antagonist. “This is an addict.”
It was not immediately clear whether Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf would use his pardon power to clear Menser.

Florida high school coach fired for telling players to ‘stop acting black’
A Florida high school football coach lost his job after he allegedly made racist comments to players — telling them to “stop acting black,” according to a report.
Kendall Bradley, the former head football coach at Atlantic High School in Port Orange, was also accused of sexting two 15-year-old girls in late 2017, leading the state to permanently revoke his teaching license in December, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.
Bradley, who was never criminally charged, denied the accusations in a statement to the newspaper after it obtained investigative reports from Volusia County Schools, Port Orange police and the Florida Department of Education on the complaints — including some from players and their relatives.
The young athletes reported that Bradley told them to “stop acting black” and allegedly shared their grades with other teammates as a way to embarrass them.
The coach was also accused of using profanity during the team’s win-less 2017 season.
Bradley was allowed to work as a substitute teacher in Volusia County until February 2018 — when the father of one 15-year-old girl told the principal of Atlantic High School about the alleged tawdry text, the newspaper reported.
A Port Orange police spokesman said cops got in touch with school staffers regarding the texts, but he couldn’t say exactly when because the incident occurred more than two years ago.
Bradley lost his job as a gym teacher and football coach at the high school in November 2017 — but he wasn’t barred from student contact until three months later on Feb. 5, 2018.
At the time, he told the News-Journal that he had been fired without cause, but district investigators cited complaints that the coach made derogatory racial statements in front of students.
Bradley was also barred from working for Volusia County Schools after his termination, but his personnel file was updated two weeks later declaring him eligible to interview for open positions, the newspaper reports.
He was later pulled from the classroom in February 2018 when the father told district officials that the then-31-year-old man was soliciting sex from two 15-year-old girls, internal reports show.
The messages — sent less than a week after Bradley lost his coaching job — allegedly showed that Bradley asked the teens to send him nude photos and also wanted them to have group sex with him and other women, the newspaper reported.
One of the students also told cops that Bradley sent her a nude photo of himself on Snapchat, according to a police report.
No evidence was found of the photo being sent, however, and cops did not contact Bradley at the time. The case was ultimately closed when the student’s father stopped cooperating with investigators, according to the police report.
District officials later closed their investigation after Bradley said he no longer wanted to work for Volusia County Schools. He also declined to address the allegations he faced, the newspaper reports.
Bradley lost his teaching certificate on Dec. 13, 2019, after the school district closed its investigation — a move he did not contest. He told the newspaper he was unaware of some of the claims.
“As I have just been informed, information that I had no knowledge of, and is not correct, was filed and made public,” Bradley told the newspaper in a statement. “I have never been approached with, or asked about these situations personally, nor was I made aware that they had been used when they were.”
Bradley insisted his only goal while at Atlantic High School was to be a “positive influence” on the students and the community.
“At no point did I communicate or interact inappropriately with any student,” Bradley’s statement continued. “Nor was I discriminatory or out of line in my communication with student athletes.”

Rush Limbaugh announces he has advanced lung cancer
Rush Limbaugh announced Monday that he has advanced lung cancer.
“I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, and I thought about not trying to tell anybody, I thought about trying to do this without anybody knowing, because I don’t like making things about me,” said the syndicated conservative radio host of “The Rush Limbaugh Show.’’
But “there are going to be days that I’m not going to be able to be here. Because I will be undergoing treatment,’’ said the avid cigar-smoker, adding that he has the advanced cancer.
Limbaugh, 69, said he went to the doctor after experiencing shortness of breath and was eventually diagnosed.
He has previously scoffed at the dangers of “firsthand smoke,’’ saying in 2015 that “it takes 50 years to kill people, if it does.’’
According to the CDC, cigarette smoking is the No. 1 cause of lung cancer, while cigar smoking is generally “associated with an increased risk for cancers of the lung,” throat and mouth. Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer of both men and women in the US, with 150,000 people a year succumbing to it.
“Now, it’s true that everybody who smokes dies. But so does everyone who eats carrots,” Limbaugh said at the time.
He added that government taxes on tobacco products “are funding children’s health-care programs.”
So “I would like a medal for smoking cigars,” Limbaugh quipped on the show — which is titled “We Really Should Thank Smokers” on his Web site.
He also ridiculed the mounds of research tying secondhand smoke to cancer and death, calling the assertion “a myth.”
Limbaugh told listeners Monday that he would be out for the next few days for treatment and hoped to return to the air Thursday.
“Those of you who are listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show now. Pray with us. Thank you. God bless you Rush Limbaugh. Love you so much Rush,’’ his producer, Bo Snerdley, tweeted.
Limbaugh, a buddy of President Trump, just signed a new “long-term’’ contract last month with a subsidiary of iHeartMedia.

2 women killed, child hurt in shooting at Texas dormitory
COMMERCE, Texas (AP) — Two women were killed and a child was wounded in a shooting Monday morning at a university dormitory in Texas, officials said.
A recommendation for students and employees to shelter in place was lifted early Monday afternoon at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and police said there appeared to be no other threats. Officials have not identified the suspected shooter.
University police Chief Bryan Vaughn said officers responding to a call at about 10:17 a.m. found two dead women in a room at Pride Rock residence hall on the campus in Commerce, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northeast of Dallas. He said a boy about 2 years old was also in the room and was taken to a hospital, where he was in stable condition.
Vaughn did not take questions after a news conference and did not say if the women were students.
The university canceled classes after the shooting and later said classes will not resume until Thursday.
The university lifted the shelter-in-place recommendation about an hour and a half after it was announced on Twitter. But the university said that even with the lifting of the recommendation, the residence hall and the surrounding area was still blocked off due to the ongoing investigation.
The university said the student center would be available for displaced students and that counselors were available there.
Larry Cooper III, a freshman who lives in the Pride Rock residence hall, told the Dallas Morning News that he left his room Monday just before the shelter-in-place was announced. He said he was waiting in a friend’s room on the first floor of the residence hall.
“There’s police blocking the doorways, but other than that we’re all just kind of sitting in and waiting on the news to happen,” Cooper said.
Last October, two people were killed and a dozen others injured in an off-campus shooting at a homecoming and Halloween party involving Texas A&M-Commerce students.

Actress claims she slept with Mick Jagger when she was just 15
Actress Rae Dawn, the daughter of pot comedian Tommy Chong, said she spent a “fabulous” night with Mick Jagger back in 1977– when she was just 15 years old.
Dawn, who had roles in the 1985 films “The Color Purple” and “Commando,” detailed her underage fling with the Rolling Stones legend to the Daily Mail after she claimed to have accidentally blurted out the news while taping a forthcoming podcast from The Hollywood Reporter.
“He wasn’t that much older than me in my brain. He was 33 and young and gorgeous with a nice body,” she told the outlet in an attempt to get ahead of the story.
“It wasn’t a bad thing; it was fabulous. Totally rock ‘n’ roll. He didn’t make me do anything I didn’t want to do, but he was very vain, always looking in the mirror.”
Dawn, now 58, said she slept with Jagger when he was still married to his first wife after meeting him at a friend’s place.
She was pals with the daughter of John Phillips, the singer of The Mamas & the Papas, and introduced herself to Jagger one day when they were both visiting Phillips’ home.
“He never asked me how old I was and I never told him,” she told the Mail. “It never came up. I remember thinking he was really cute. He had tousled hair. I thought, ‘Oh man, he is beautiful.’”
The pair ended up spending two days together in New York, according to the Mail. Dawn insisted that the intimacy was consensual and worried that the revelation would land Jagger in deep water.
“He did nothing wrong,” said Dawn. “He didn’t make me do anything I didn’t want to do.”
Jagger didn’t respond to the Mail’s request for comment.
Dawn bumped into Jagger several times in the wake of the romance. Years later she got him to cast her for an appearance in the video for the Stones’ track “Just Another Night.”
They had remained friends, but their relationship apparently soured after Dawn publicly complained about Jagger’s “licky” behavior on the set.
“In real life, he was a great kisser, but in the film, he did lots of ‘licky’ things,’ she said. “I talked about that in an interview. He has a fragile ego. He hasn’t spoken to me since.”

Teen female football players to be featured in Super Bowl ad
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WJW) — All eyes will be on the big game between the Chiefs and the 49ers on Super Bowl Sunday, but of course many viewers will also be watching the million dollar commercials.
Among the ads, a commercial for the Microsoft Surface tablet, which features a tribute to San Francisco 49ers assistant coach Katie Sowers. She will be the first woman to coach in the Super Bowl.
The commercial also includes a photo of Cleveland Heights senior football players Olivia McKay and India Pulphus. The student athletes said they learned on Thursday that they will be featured in the ad.
”I actually found out in the middle of class from my mom just repeatedly texting me, ‘oh my gosh you’re going to be in the Super Bowl commercial’, but I was in the middle of class, so I couldn’t freak out or anything,” said Olivia McKay.
Olivia and India made the transition from the girl’s soccer team to football in their senior year, a move that took the same kind of determination that led Katie Sowers to the NFL.
“It means a lot because I know there are a lot of younger girls that have said they want to play football, now that they’ve seen us do it, so it makes me proud and happy,” said India Pulphus.
India and Olivia are viewed as trailblazers at Cleveland Heights High School. Each of them kicked field goals during the 2019 season.
They are hoping that young girls will view them the same way that they view Katie Sowers.
“Being a role model for the younger girls, who are in the same situation of being told they can’t do things because they’re female, you know it feels good,” said McKay.
