(Photo by Matt McClain/The Washington Post via Getty Images) South Florida Cops Filmed Repeatedly Punching 14-Year-Old Black Girl Two Coral Springs cops were filmed holding a 14-year-old girl face down with her arms pinned beneath her, while one of them puts a knee into her back punching her twice in the ribs. The incident occurred at the Coral Square Mall on earlier this week. “I’m angry. I would never expect this to happen,” Jessica Dennis (the child’s mother) told reporters. Coral Springs police took to Twitter defending the officers, stating that the video only showed half the story. Detectives said, due to early release from school, there were large groups of teens at the Coral Square mall on Thursday. The situation began after officers received a call about unruly teens who had been harassing other shoppers. Police said the 14-year-old was seen pushing another teen. She and the other teens were issued a trespass warning and told not to return.

When The Checks Stop Coming In Exclusive: Trick Daddy Saves His Home From Auction By Filing Third Bankruptcy In Three Years

Miami Rapper Appears To Have Fallen On Hard Times Trick Daddy has managed to save his South Florida home from a foreclosure auction by filing for bankruptcy on the day the home was set to be sold, BOSSIP has learned. Trick – real name Maurice Young – filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy last month on the same day that his house was supposed to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. It is the third time in three years that the Miami rapper has filed for bankruptcy, with his other two being dismissed because of failure to make plan payments. Trick listed his assets between $100,000 and $500,000 but said he owes between $500,001 and $1 million to various creditors. Besides his house, which is worth $417,000, he has $2,500 in furniture, $150 in clothing and $400 in jewelry. The rapper said he has no cash on hand, in the bank, or in investments, but does own $10,000 in stock in the company Trick & Rick Music Publishing. Among his debts are about $57,000 in back child support, $280,000 left on his home’s mortgage and $290,000 to the IRS. Trick said he’s made just $17,000 so far this year, way down from the $75,000 he said he brought in the year before. Trick Daddy’s career seemed to be enjoying a comeback of sorts. He is appearing on the new Miami “Love & Hip Hop” franchise and also recently came out with a line of seasonings . We reached out to Trick Daddy’s lawyer for comment.

Get Well: Giants Baller Jason Pierre-Paul Almost Blows Off Hand During July 4th Fireworks Accident

Jason Pierre-Paul Injuries Hand During July 4 Fireworks Accident Jason Pierre-Paul , defensive end for the New York Giants, reportedly injured his hand while lighting fireworks at his Florida home on the night of July 4. Via TIME Mag : The NFL confirmed the incident on Sunday evening, noting that it could “potentially impact Pierre-Paul’s future with the Giants,” but Dan Graziano and Adam Schefter at ESPN later tweeted that his injuries — burns on his palm and three fingers, and possible nerve damage — likely will not prove “career threatening” and that the “prognosis is not terrible.” On Sunday afternoon, as reports of the accident began making the rounds, Deadspin posted a string of tweets from Pierre-Paul’s neighbors documenting a “whole Uhaul van of fireworks” parked outside of his house. Pierre-Paul himself had posted a video to Instagram of himself and his infant son near to what appears to be the van. Pierre-Paul, who turned 26 earlier this year, has played for the Giants since 2010, when he joined the team as the fifteenth overall pick in the NFL draft. His “prodigal talent,” as ESPN described it in 2009, when he was at the University of South Florida, has been an asset to the Giants’ defensive line, in spite of the team’s shaky record overall in the past few years. First this… Then.. Get well Jason!!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Voodoo Priest Raped 11-Year-Old Girl To ‘Cleanse Her Of Evil Spirits’

Voodoo Priest Raped Girl To Cleanse Her Of Evil Spirits A self-proclaimed voodoo priest in South Florida was charged with sexual battery last month after allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl while claiming it was to “cleanse evil spirits.” Via PIX 11 : Police in the city of Sunrise revealed at a press conference Friday that Brogenet Cinor convinced a girl, who is now 16, and her mother that he has healing powers back in 2009. According to the Sun-Sentinel, Cinor told the girl and her mother he could feel evil spirits coming from the girl during a spiritual consultation. He then took her into a tiki-style backyard shed and had sex with her, police say. After the incident, the girl told her mom, who confronted Cinor. However, the voodoo man threatened to curse the woman if she went to authorities. “He was using the victims’ belief in voodoo and curses,”Sunrise police Officer Cindi McCue told the Sun-Sentinel. “They believed they could die if they didn’t follow his instructions.” It was only years later, after the girl told her father about what happened during the “voodoo consultation,” that police learned of the alleged assault. This isn’t the only time Cinor, who’s been practicing as a voodoo priest in the area for at least a decade, has used fear to coerce women into sex, police say. Two years ago, two separate women told police they had sex with Cinor after he told them they needed a spiritual cleansing. One of the women, who said Cinor told her she would die if she didn’t have sex with him, became pregnant. She said Cinor later gave her $500 to get an abortion. Prosecutors did not pursue charges in either case. Lock this sicko up!!!!!!!!!!!

Perverts: Dad Helps Take Freaky Pics Of His Daughters And Calls Them Family Portraits

This father needs his azz beat. What father thinks taking nekkid pics of his daughters is ever okay? According to The Sun Sentinel: A South Florida naturalist, arrested on charges that he helped take freaky photographs of his three young daughters and shared them with other men, is putting on an unusual defense. Brian Martens, 53, who was living at a nudist colony in Palm Beach County, is arguing that there is nothing freaky about the pictures and that they are regular family portraits of a naturist family. Federal prosecutors say they believe several of the photographs are clearly inappropriate and the final judgment call should lie with a trial jury. A grand jury has already voted there was enough evidence to indict Martens on one count of producing child pornography and one count of receiving child pornography. U.S. Magistrate Judge Bill Matthewman agreed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office after reviewing the photographs during a hearing Wednesday in federal court in West Palm Beach. “Several of these photos the court has reviewed are lascivious. … They are, in the court’s opinion, sexually explicit,” Matthewman said. The judge ordered Martens detained without bond pending his trial — on the grounds that he is a serious flight risk and poses “a clear risk of danger to the community, and specifically to his daughters.” Marten’s attorney James Eisenberg agreed that one of the photographs is inappropriate — one the judge described as a close-up shot of one of the girl’s genital area — but said his client did not know the photograph was taken and never gave his permission for it to be shot. Martens hired a professional family photographer to take family portraits, Eisenberg said. “The girls have no clothes on … but they’re not doing anything of a sexual nature,” Eisenberg said. “If they were young ladies who had clothing on, no one would consider them freaky.” “Totally au naturale … is the normal state of all the people who live there,” Eisenberg said. “In the context that everybody in this family are naturists … these photos are not lewd or pornographic in any way.” Martens, who was arrested Oct. 29, would face between 15 and 30 years in federal prison if convicted of the child pornography charge, and five to 20 years if convicted of receiving child pornography. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges. He doesn’t need to have more children if he is going to exploit them like this. Shutterstock
