Attorney allegedly used ‘shoe camera’ to look up girl’s dress at Apple store
A 66-year-old licensed Bay Area lawyer was arrested Sunday after he allegedly taped a camera to his shoe and then “moved his shoe so that the camera was under a female juvenile’s dress” at an Apple Store in Walnut Creek, Calif., police said.
Jacques Bloxham, who is a personal injury attorney, was reportedly confronted by the girl’s father and fled the store. Officers said they found various cameras and recording devices in the suspect’s car in addition to the one attached to his shoe.
Bloxham was arrested around 3 p.m. and booked into Contra Costa County Jail on suspicion of using a camera to secretly record the undergarments of another person, along with annoying or molesting a child under 18, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. He later posted bail.
Police are investigating whether Bloxham recorded others and urge anyone with information to call the Walnut Creek Police Department.
Bloxham was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1986. He founded the Injury Law Center “in response to the public’s need for a personal injury attorney with honesty, integrity and a new understanding of the needs of injured clients,” according to his Yelp business profile.
Accused child molester impregnated 10-year-old girl, police say
Nicholas Deon Thrash is facing 10 counts of child molesting.
The victim’s family says the man accused of molesting and impregnating the then 10-year-old girl was no stranger. In fact, he was living with her mother.
The young girl’s grandmother said she met Thrash multiple times and never thought he would be capable of doing something like this.
She described him as polite and helpful around the house, saying he had them fooled.
She says her granddaughter is now 20 weeks pregnant. The grandmother wanted to share their story to let parents know how important it is to talk with your kids, and let them know that they can come to you if something isn’t right.
She says it’s heartbreaking to watch someone so young go through this.
“She’d come out and ask, ‘Can I get my Barbies?’ I said, ‘Of course you can.’ She’s still a little girl that wants to play, and now her whole life has changed. She’s scared, being in that for so long and knowing you have to carry this baby,” the girl’s grandmother told WISH.
The director of Prevent Child Abuse Indiana says conversations with your kids about appropriate boundaries are important and they should be had at a young age.
She said to be cautious of adults who are looking to spend too much alone time with a certain child. She says about 80 percent of sexual abuse occurs in one-on-one situations.
The family has not yet decided whether to put the baby up for adoption. In the meantime, they are in need of maternity clothes for that young girl. She is a size small.
Subway’s Jared admits to having sex with prostitutes between the ages of 9 & 16 years old in Thailand
Cindy Mills, who ran a Subway restaurant franchise in Pensacola, Fla., said she started reaching out to Subway executives about Jared Fogle’s interest in children after he spoke openly about it with her.
In total, Mills talked to three executives with Subway’s advertising unit, known as the Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust (SFTAT), she told Business Insider in an interview that included her lawyer, Robert Beasley. SFAFT pools and manages advertising funds for the restaurant chain’s franchisees.
Fogle, who has been Subway’s most recognized spokesman for 15 years, has admitted to child pornography and traveling to have sex with minors, according to prosecutors in Indiana, where Fogle lives. Fogle, famous for losing about 245 pounds on a diet of Subway sandwiches in college, is expected to plead guilty to the allegations at a later date.
Subway has said it has cut off all ties with its former pitchman in light of his arrest and expected guilty plea. But Mill’s allegations, which emerged Thursday, threaten to muddy the restaurant chain as well.
Kevin Kane, a spokesman for Subway, didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
Mills said she met Fogle at a Subway event and had an affair with him, according to BI’s report. During that time, Fogle told her he’d had sex with prostitutes between the ages of 9 and 16 years old in Thailand and the US, she said. He also asked her to set up a meeting for him with Mills’ cousin, who was underage at the time, she told BI.
Mills lawyer didn’t immediately return a request for an interview.
Mills became “uncomfortable with relationship” after Fogle allegedly pressured Mills to sell herself on Craigslist, BI said.
Mills told Jeff Moody, head of SFAFT, about Jared’s disturbing behavior in a phone call, she said. She also shared her concerns with two other SFAFT executives at a Subway-sponsored NASCAR event in Phoenix, she said.
She said she did not go to the police because she was afraid of Jared’s money and power.
Fogle’s arrest comes as Subway struggles to fight off growing competition from restaurant chains like Chik-Fil-A and Chipotle.
Subway was founded on this day 50 years ago. On Thursday, Subway marked the birthday with a “small celebration” at their Milford, Conn., headquarters, the company said on Thursday.
I really find it disturbing that this Cindy Mills didn’t have any issues with Jared telling her he liked to have sex with underage prostitutes as young as 9 years old, and she also admitted to having an affair with him after being told this, yet she only broke up with him, after he wanted HER to sell herself on Craigslist!
IMO She is just as sick as he is! I’ve told ya’ll before that a lot of people go to Asia and Africa to have sex with children, many of the adult sell these kids in to sexual slavery and many European and American men fly over their to “indulge” SMFH!!
