A social media influencer from Australia has been accused of poisoning and torturing a 1-year-old girl to solicit thousands of dollars in donations from her followers, Queensland Police announced. The 34-year-old woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was arrested and charged with several serious offenses.

According to police, the influencer administered unauthorized prescription medication to the infant between August 6 and October 15 of last year. The relationship between the woman and the child has not been disclosed, but authorities claim the influencer filmed and posted videos of the child in significant distress to her online platforms, using the harrowing footage to collect approximately $60,000 AUD ($37,000 USD) via GoFundMe.

“There is no excuse for harming a child, especially not a one-year-old infant who is reliant on others for care and survival,” said Detective Inspector Paul Dalton in a statement.

The case came to light on October 15, when the child was hospitalized with severe physical and emotional distress. Medical staff alerted authorities, triggering an investigation. Tests conducted in January revealed that the child had been exposed to unauthorized medications, further substantiating the allegations.

In addition to the physical harm caused, the influencer is accused of committing fraud by misusing the donations she raised through false pretenses. GoFundMe is reportedly working to refund the donors who contributed during the campaign.

The woman now faces multiple charges, including five counts of administering poison with intent to harm, three counts of preparation to commit crimes with dangerous things, and single counts of torture, making child exploitation material, and fraud. She appeared in court with her attorney, Mathew Cuskelly, who requested protective custody for his client, citing concerns for her safety due to public attention on the case.

“There is some publicity with regards to this matter, and I am concerned with regard to the safety of my client,” Cuskelly told the court.

The disturbing allegations have shocked the community, highlighting the darker side of social media influence and the potential for exploitation. While authorities continue their investigation, the case serves as a grim reminder of the need for vigilance in protecting vulnerable individuals, particularly children.

The child is reportedly receiving care, but details regarding her current condition remain private.

Convicted killer Scott Peterson appeared before a San Mateo County judge via Zoom as his legal team, led by the Los Angeles Innocence Project, sought approval for DNA testing on key evidence they argue could lead to a new trial. Peterson, convicted of killing his pregnant wife Laci Peterson and their unborn son Connor in 2002, has consistently maintained his innocence.

Paula Mitchell, director of the LA Innocence Project, is urging Judge Elizabeth Hill to authorize the testing of several items, including a blood-stained mattress found in a burned-out van near the Modesto airport. Mitchell emphasized that Modesto police failed to investigate whether the van fire was connected to Laci Peterson’s case. Authorities, however, have dismissed any link between the blaze and the murder.

The defense also seeks to test evidence recovered near the bodies of Laci and Connor, whose remains surfaced along the Richmond shoreline in 2003, as well as items tied to a burglary across the street from the Petersons’ Modesto home. Peterson’s legal team insists that all requested evidence is available, well-preserved, and maintains an unbroken chain of custody suitable for DNA testing.

“This case has always been about getting to the truth, and DNA testing can provide answers that weren’t available during the original trial,” Mitchell stated.

Prosecutors oppose the motion, arguing that existing evidence already proved Peterson’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They point to the jury’s 2004 conviction, which resulted in Peterson being sentenced to life in prison without parole. The trial, relocated from Modesto to San Mateo County due to extensive pretrial publicity, included testimony that Peterson took Laci’s body aboard his boat and dumped it in San Francisco Bay on Christmas Eve 2002.

Peterson, who has attended recent hearings from Mule Creek State Prison via Zoom, maintains that he was fishing in the bay on the day of Laci’s disappearance. His defense team asserts that DNA testing could uncover evidence implicating other suspects or provide critical context about items near the crime scene.

The case, which gripped national attention from the moment Laci disappeared, continues to polarize public opinion. During the initial investigation, Peterson gave interviews, including a now-famous sit-down with Court TV anchor Ted Rowlands, to plead his innocence. Despite his efforts, mounting evidence led to his arrest and subsequent conviction.

Mitchell and the LA Innocence Project remain hopeful that Judge Hill will grant their motion, emphasizing the importance of utilizing modern forensic techniques to ensure justice. “We’re asking for the chance to use tools that weren’t available two decades ago. This isn’t about revisiting old arguments; it’s about finding the truth through science,” Mitchell said.

The hearing represents a pivotal moment for Peterson, whose life sentence leaves him few remaining avenues for appeal. As the courtroom battle continues, the legacy of the high-profile case remains a stark reminder of its profound impact on the justice system and public consciousness.

Adam Fravel, convicted of murdering Winona resident Madeline Kingsbury, has begun the appeal process, challenging his conviction and life sentence without parole.

Court documents filed by Chief Appellate Public Defender Cathryn Middlebrook confirmed that the Minnesota State Public Defender's Office will represent Fravel in his appeal. On Monday, Judge Nancy Buytendorp approved Middlebrook’s request to access sealed and confidential documents related to the case.

Fravel’s decision to appeal comes as no surprise. During his sentencing hearing in December, defense attorney Zachary Bauer signaled Fravel’s intent to challenge the outcome, echoing Fravel’s own claims of innocence.

"I never caused harm to Maddi and I am innocent," Fravel declared at the hearing.

The appeal follows Fravel’s November conviction on four counts of murder, including two first-degree and two second-degree charges. The case captivated public attention after Kingsbury, a mother of two, vanished on March 31, 2023. Her remains were discovered more than two months later, bound in a ditch. Fravel, the father of her children, was arrested the same day her body was found.

Testimonies during the trial painted a troubling picture of Fravel and Kingsbury’s relationship. Friends and family members described a pattern of abuse, including allegations that Fravel threatened Kingsbury with harm, warning she might "end up like Gabby Petito," a woman whose high-profile murder by her fiancé in 2021 drew national attention.

Fravel is currently held at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud. The public and Kingsbury’s loved ones continue to monitor developments as the appeal process unfolds.

Wendy Williams didn’t hold back during a rare interview on The Breakfast Club, where she addressed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mounting legal troubles, her personal experiences with the music mogul, and her ongoing fight for independence amid health challenges.

Host Charlamagne tha God revisited Williams’ controversial departure from Hot 97 in 1998, suggesting that Diddy played a role in her firing. Williams confirmed the speculation, stating, “Diddy will go to prison for life, people.”

“You don’t know things I knew about Diddy back in the day,” she continued. “And you want to know what? It’s about time, people, it is about time. Diddy done.”

Williams did not elaborate further on what she claimed to know about Combs, but her comments added to the growing discourse surrounding the embattled music mogul.

Combs, who was arrested in September on sex-trafficking charges, has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail awaiting trial, which is set to begin May 5. In addition to the criminal charges, Combs faces dozens of lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, including a new claim that he drugged and raped a 16-year-old girl in 2000.

In response to the allegations, Combs’ legal team has denied any wrongdoing. “No amount of lawsuits against our client will change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex-trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” his lawyers said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

Williams’ history with Combs dates back decades. In her 2004 book The Wendy Williams Experience, she alleged that Combs tried to sabotage her career during her tenure at Hot 97. Speaking to New York magazine in 2005, Williams said it was her “belief” that Combs played a role in her dismissal, referencing rumors she had spread about his sexuality.

Following Combs’ recent arrest, Williams claimed vindication. “Multiple people told me I called it,” she told the Daily Mail in November. She also criticized footage from 2016 that appeared to show Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible,” she said.

During the interview, Williams also opened up about her own struggles. Her TV show was canceled in 2022 following a series of health-related absences. She has since been placed under guardianship and was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. However, Williams remains defiant, telling The Breakfast Club, “I feel like I’m in prison. I’m not cognitively impaired.”

Her remarks sparked both support and controversy, adding another chapter to the ongoing saga of two public figures navigating turmoil.

Lawyers for Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, have filed a motion to partially lift the "veil of secrecy" surrounding the high-profile case. The defense team aims to make public records related to DNA evidence and investigative genetic genealogy techniques used by law enforcement.

“This matter is of utmost importance to Mr. Kohberger’s right to a public hearing,” attorney Elisa Massoth wrote in a court filing Thursday. "Holding the hearing in open court will not prejudice the parties, and this should be held in open court."

Kohberger, who was a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. Prosecutors allege that on November 13, 2022, he broke into an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, and fatally stabbed Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.

Following a six-week investigation, Kohberger was arrested on December 30, 2022, at his family’s home in Pennsylvania. The case garnered national and international attention, with significant public interest in the methods used to identify him as a suspect.

Central to the defense’s motion is the controversial use of investigative genetic genealogy, which law enforcement employed to link Kohberger to the crime. This method involves building a "family tree" using publicly available DNA databases to identify potential suspects. Prosecutors allege that Kohberger’s DNA, found on a knife sheath at the crime scene, matched a cheek swab collected after his arrest.

Kohberger’s legal team contests the validity of the genetic genealogy process, calling it unconstitutional and claiming that the DNA evidence was "illegally gathered." They are requesting that the court suppress this evidence, arguing it should not be presented to the jury in the death penalty trial set for August.

Massoth emphasized the importance of transparency in the case, stating, “Due to national and international attention to this case, and in the interest of protecting Mr. Kohberger’s right to a fair trial, many pleadings in this case have been sealed.” She added that both Kohberger and the public have a “right to know how genetic information was used in this case.”

Two critical hearings are scheduled in the coming days. On January 23, a pretrial hearing will address unresolved evidentiary issues, including the DNA dispute. Before that, a closed-door session will determine whether the request to disclose genetic genealogy materials will proceed.

“In addition to Mr. Kohberger’s right to a public trial, the public has a First Amendment right to know what goes on in its courts,” Massoth stated in the filing.

Prosecutors argue that the genetic genealogy process provided a significant lead in identifying Kohberger and connecting him to the crime scene. They assert that the DNA evidence, a "statistical match," is a key component of their case.

As the legal battle over the admissibility and transparency of this evidence continues, the court’s decision could have far-reaching implications for the trial and for the use of genetic genealogy in criminal investigations.

Lawyers for Sean 'Diddy' Combs are taking aim at the prosecution’s narrative in the high-profile sex trafficking case against the hip-hop mogul, calling it "sexist and puritanical." In a letter to a Manhattan federal judge, the defense team argued that nine key video recordings allegedly proving the charges depict consensual adult activities and not criminal acts.

"Any fair-minded viewer of the videos will quickly conclude that the prosecution of Mr. Combs is both sexist and puritanical," the lawyers wrote, asserting that the government's case perpetuates "stereotypes of female victimhood and lack of agency."

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges stemming from allegations that he organized "elaborate and produced sex performances" referred to as "Freak Offs." Prosecutors allege these encounters were orchestrated by Combs, involved male sex workers, and were accompanied by drug use to "keep the victims obedient and compliant."

The indictment describes "Freak Offs" as events lasting days, with participants drugged, recorded, and provided with items like baby oil and lubricant—over 1,000 bottles of which were allegedly found during raids of Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Combs’ legal team challenges this portrayal, stating that the nine videos, supplied by a woman identified as "Victim-1," depict consensual and voluntary interactions.

"In all six of these encounters," the lawyers wrote, "Victim-1 is not only consenting; she is evidently happy, dominant, and completely in control." They emphasized that the recordings show no signs of violence, coercion, or incapacitation.

The defense also argued that the videos lack evidence of orgies, minors, or the involvement of other celebrities, countering claims that the events were exploitative.

The legal team criticized the government for allegedly policing "non-conforming sexual activity" and assuming that "a woman's willing participation must have been coerced."

Combs has been held without bail since his September arrest, with multiple judges denying his release. His trial is scheduled for May 5.

Defense lawyers are requesting further access to the videos, noting that they’ve only been allowed to review them twice over the past two months. They contend that the recordings, described as "quite dark and grainy," require expert analysis to enhance the quality and verify metadata.

The prosecution has not commented on the defense’s recent submission.

Combs’ attorneys argue that the government's portrayal depends on characterizing the sex performances as "dirty, disgusting, or inherently unsavory." They maintain that the evidence contradicts the prosecution’s claims of trafficking and coercion, portraying their client as a target of overreach and societal bias.

In a highly anticipated revelation, R&B singer Al B. Sure! speaks out for the first time about Sean "Diddy" Combs in the new Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The "Nite and Day" artist shares shocking claims, including allegations about Diddy's behavior, his ex Kim Porter’s fears, and the broader music industry's hidden dangers.

“For the record, I received more than 40 inquiries from production companies and networks since brother Sean’s incarceration,” Al B. Sure! explains in the film. “I decided to speak out because I owe it to the late Kim Porter to share the truth.”

Al B. Sure! and Porter, the biological parents of actor and musician Quincy Brown, maintained a close relationship even after their romantic involvement ended. Porter later dated Diddy, with whom she had three children.

Porter, a model and former Uptown Records colleague of Diddy, reportedly confided in Al B. Sure! about her growing unease regarding the music mogul. “She did say that something’s not right. His soul was going completely dark, like he’s just not there,” Al B. Sure! shares. He claims Porter made him promise, on their son Quincy’s life, not to disclose what she revealed, fearing for his safety.

The singer-songwriter also alleges Porter kept detailed notes about her experiences with Diddy. “She was keeping a diary and things of that nature. Someone got the passcode to her phone and computer and found out she was writing what was going on behind closed doors,” he says.

Porter tragically passed away in 2018 at 47 years old. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office determined her death resulted from lobar pneumonia, but Al B. Sure! disputes this. “That’s just a day that will never, ever leave my mind. And just that empty feeling of like, ‘Nah, something is not right with this.’”

The documentary delves into broader accusations, with Al B. Sure! hinting at sinister patterns within the music industry. “Let’s just say there’s a lot to uncover, a lot that goes on in the industry, which is not my job to uncover. But it’s something that’s been going on, and those who speak about it usually meet their demise.”

In response, Diddy’s legal team categorically denied all allegations presented in the documentary. “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months. It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind,” they stated to Extra.

Al B. Sure! also recounts his own near-death experience in 2020, alleging foul play. “I was in a coma, having multi-system organ failure. Every organ is working off of a machine, except for the liver,” he reveals. The singer suggests someone attempted to take his life. “I kept a record of every single one of you who was sent to set me up, to assist in the attempted murder of Al B. Sure!”

Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, faces federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and awaits trial in May 2025.

Al B. Sure!'s revelations come as a significant addition to the ongoing conversation surrounding Diddy, shedding light on alleged misconduct and raising questions about the treatment of those who dare to speak out in the entertainment industry.

A South Carolina federal judge has ordered Alex Murdaugh and his accomplice, Cory Fleming, to pay millions for orchestrating an insurance fraud scheme that stole over $4 million meant for the family of Murdaugh’s housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield.

Judge Richard Gergel issued a $14.8 million judgment against Murdaugh and a $3.75 million judgment against Fleming, a former attorney and longtime friend of Murdaugh. These judgments followed a civil trial brought by Nautilus Insurance Company, which sought damages from the fraudulent scheme.

The case began after Satterfield’s fatal fall on the front steps of Murdaugh’s hunting estate, Moselle. Murdaugh convinced Satterfield’s sons to file a claim against his insurance, promising compensation. Instead, Murdaugh and Fleming embezzled the settlement funds, leaving the family empty-handed.

Murdaugh admitted to fabricating a story about his dogs causing Satterfield’s death to create liability and secure insurance payouts. “He intended to, and did in fact, steal,” Judge Gergel noted in his January 2 ruling.

Fleming faced trial for his role in facilitating the fraud. The court found that he committed “multiple acts of unfair and deceptive practices” and acted willfully in violating the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act. While a jury initially awarded $1.25 million in damages, Gergel tripled the amount to $3.75 million, citing the severity of Fleming’s actions.

“Fleming’s unfair and deceptive acts played a critical role in Murdaugh’s ability to ultimately steal over $4 million in settlement funds,” Gergel stated in the settlement order.

The fraudulent settlement funds were part of over 100 financial crimes tied to Murdaugh, including millions stolen from his law firm clients. These crimes have compounded the disgraced attorney’s legal troubles. Murdaugh is already serving two life sentences for the 2021 murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. Prosecutors argued the murders were a distraction to hide his mounting financial crimes.

While Murdaugh appeals his double murder convictions, the financial fraud cases continue to unfold. Nautilus Insurance Company’s lawsuit against other entities linked to the Satterfield scheme remains active.

The Gloria Satterfield case has become a cornerstone of the unraveling Murdaugh crime saga, symbolizing the betrayal of trust by two lawyers who exploited a grieving family for personal gain.

Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been named in a new lawsuit alleging the rape of a 16-year-old girl in 2000, adding to a growing list of sexual misconduct accusations against him.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims that as a high school student in Lower Manhattan, she encountered Combs while working as a babysitter in the same apartment building where Combs' then-romantic partner resided.

According to the lawsuit, Combs offered the teenager a ride home multiple times, which she initially declined. After persistent offers, she accepted.

Instead of taking her home, the lawsuit alleges that Combs, accompanied by two unnamed male employees, drove her to a different location. During the ride, she was offered a drink to "calm her down," which led her to feel "groggy" and "unsteady."

The plaintiff alleges that Combs then raped her before she was returned to her apartment building and left in the lobby.

This lawsuit is among more than 30 filed against Combs, accusing him of various forms of sexual misconduct. Combs' legal team has consistently denied these allegations.

In a statement to PEOPLE, his attorneys asserted: "No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor." They emphasized confidence in the judicial process, stating that Combs "is confident he will prevail in court."

Currently, Combs is detained in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges, with the trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.

The mounting legal challenges have significantly impacted Combs' public image and business ventures. Once a dominant figure in the music industry, his reputation has been marred by these serious allegations.

The entertainment community and the public are closely monitoring the developments in these cases. The recent lawsuit also highlights the broader issue of sexual misconduct within the entertainment industry, prompting discussions about power dynamics and the protection of minors.

As the legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on the testimonies of the accusers and the defense mounted by Combs' legal team. The outcome of these cases may have far-reaching implications for the industry and for survivors seeking justice.

Combs' attorneys have reiterated their stance, stating: "We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court."

As the trial date approaches, both sides are preparing for a legal battle that will be closely watched by many. The allegations against Combs span decades, with accusers coming forward with stories of abuse, coercion, and assault. The legal proceedings are expected to shed light on these claims and determine the veracity of the accusations.

The entertainment industry continues to grapple with issues of misconduct, and the cases against Combs serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability and justice for survivors. As the situation unfolds, further updates will provide insight into the legal strategies employed and the responses from both the accusers and the defense.

The upcoming trial in May 2025 will be a pivotal moment in addressing the serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit against Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey, and other officials, claiming malicious prosecution and violations of his civil rights. The lawsuit follows the dismissal of criminal charges against Baldwin in connection with the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

Baldwin was holding a prop pistol during a rehearsal when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin faced an involuntary manslaughter charge, which was thrown out in July by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. The judge cited prosecutorial misconduct, including the withholding of key evidence related to the live ammunition on set.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, names additional defendants, including investigators from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the Santa Fe County Board of Commissioners, and the county itself.

In the filing, Baldwin’s attorneys accuse prosecutors of engaging in a “malicious and unlawful” pursuit of the actor for political and personal reasons. “Criminal prosecutions are supposed to be about the search for truth and justice, not to pursue personal or political gain or harass the innocent,” attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro stated. “Kari Morrissey and the other defendants violated that basic principle, over and over, and trampled on Alec Baldwin’s rights. We bring this action to hold the defendants accountable for their misconduct and to prevent them from doing this to anyone else.”

The lawsuit alleges that prosecutors intentionally concealed evidence that would have cleared Baldwin and instead sought to scapegoat him for Hutchins’ death. Special Prosecutor Andrea Reeb is accused of making statements about how pursuing the case could benefit her political career as a Republican state representative. Baldwin’s attorneys claim that false and incomplete testimony from Morrissey was used to secure his indictment.

Responding to the lawsuit, Morrissey said, “In October 2023, the prosecution team became aware that Mr. Baldwin intended to file a retaliatory civil lawsuit. We look forward to our day in court.”

The incident, which occurred during the filming of the Western Rust, reignited debates about firearms safety on film sets and led to multiple lawsuits, including Baldwin’s. The actor is seeking financial damages through a jury trial, arguing that the defendants must be held accountable for their actions.

“Defendants must now be held accountable for their malicious and unlawful pursuit of Baldwin,” the complaint states.

The tragic shooting of Halyna Hutchins has left a lasting impact on Hollywood, with many calling for stricter safety protocols. Baldwin’s lawsuit underscores broader concerns about the role of political influence and prosecutorial accountability in high-profile cases.
