You Can’t Be Serious: Florida Teen Expelled From School And Charged With Felony For Lesbian Relationship

Only in Florida …. Florida Teen Expelled And Arrested For Gay Relationship Via Think Progressive : A Florida family says their 18-year-old daughter was charged with a felony and expelled from high school as a result of a consensual, same-sex relationshi p with another student. Kaitlyn Hunt started dating a female classmate at the beginning of the school year when she was 17 and the girl she was about three years younger. According to an account posted to Facebook by Kaitlyn’s mother, in February, shortly after Kaitlyn turned 18, she was arrested on felony charges at the behest of her girlfriend’s parents. The specific crime was “sexual battery on a person 12-16 years old.” Kaitlyn’s mother believes the charges were motivated by anti-gay animus: They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter “made” their daughter gay. They are bigoted, religious zeolites [sic] that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter. But Kaitlyn’s problems did not end there. Her girlfriends’s parents appealed to the school board and had her expelled from Sebastian River High School. Kaitlyn’s mom reports that the State Attorney, Brian Workman, has offered Kaitlyn a plea deal of “of two years house arrest and one year probation.” Kaitlyn has until next Friday to accept the plea deal or face a trial. The family has started a petition calling on the state attorney to drop the charges against Kaitlyn. They do realize that this is unlikely to stop their daughter from having gay relationships, right? If anything, they’ve just destroyed their relationship with their own child by destroying the life of someone else. It’s pathetic. Continue reading

You should never hit a woman . Joe Francis Convicted Of Assault According to TMZ “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis has just been found guilty of assault — and a slew of other charges — after attacking a woman in his Hollywood mansion back in 2011. The L.A. City Attorney just made the announcement … Francis was convicted on five charges total, including assault, three counts of false imprisonment, and one count of dissuading a witness from reporting. Francis was charged back in 2011 after three women accused him of taking them to his Hollywood home — following a night out — and refusing to let them leave. He was also accused of attacking one of the women, choke-slamming her head into his tile floor. Francis faces up to 5 years in jail. A sentencing scheduling hearing is set for this week. Good riddance. Should we be surprised? He makes money off of exploiting young women on a daily basis. Nobody should be shocked that he put his hands on a woman.

Pasquale Rotella, Holly Madison Baby Daddy-To-Be, Indicted on Embezzlement and Bribery Charges

Pasquale Rotella, the man who got Holly Madison pregnant , is facing a laundry list of criminal charges that could land him behind bars for up to 13 years. The founder and CEO of Insomniac, a producer of electronic-music concerts, has been indicted for bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy and conflict of interest. He was one of six people charged in a corruption case stemming from $2.5M in alleged backroom deals surrounding raves at L.A.’s Memorial Coliseum. Rotella has maintained his innocence throughout a 13-month investigation. Back in April, his attorney said Rotella “has always acted lawfully and appropriately with respect to all dealings with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.” He called the charges “completely baseless and flat-out wrong.” The attorney added that the charges are “politically motivated and publicity driven. Mr. Rotella will vigorously defend himself to clear his good name.” For the sake of Holly Madison and her baby, we hope that’s true. Rotella is out on bail and will back in court September 25 for a pre-trial conference.

O.J. can’t catch a break . Locked up and serving his 33-year sentence for armed robbery, the IRS slapped O.J. with a huge back taxes amount of $180…all owed from 2007-2010. According to TMZ , the breakdown is as follows: 2007 – $15,927.89 2008 – $105,119.71 2009 – $49,490.27 2010 – $8,897.20 All totaled up, Simpson allegedly owes $179,435.07. The lien is just the latest in a string of problems for the former football star — 7 months ago his FL home was foreclosed on … and he’s still locked up for kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges from a 2007 Las Vegas incident. O.J. still owes over $30 mill to the families of slain wife Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman too. He’s up for parole in 2016 and if granted, it looks like he’ll be workin’ a lot of overtime.

June Shannon, Mother of Honey Boo Boo, Broke the Law in 2008

In March, the parents of Alana “Honey Boo” Thompson, were reportedly visited by Family and Children Services , who somehow did NOT find a reason to prosecute June Shannon and her husband “Sugar Bear.” Despite, among many other reasons, that one of them is named Sugar Bear. But we can now confirm that June has a separate criminal history, as she was arrested in 2008 in Henry County, Georgia. The 33-year old was booked on counts of contempt of court and theft. Not much information is available aside from the charges themselves, but her mug shot has been located – and it’s a classic: “You have to take pride in how you look,” June said on a recent Here Comes Honey Boo episode. “Granted, I ain’t the most beautimous out the box, but a little paint on this barn, shine it back to its original condition. Cause it shines up like it’s brand new. “There’s a lot of people that are bigger than me. They got five hundred chins. I only got about two or three, but I embrace it.” We really can’t add anything to that quote. It speaks for itself.

Flavor Flav Owes $111K in Back Child Support, Faces Jail Time

Flavor Flav needs to cough up $111,186 in child support payments to the mother of three of his seven kids or face jail time, news sources say. “It was declared a willful violation,” an official said of his failure to pay child support … which can’t be good. He faces up to 180 days behind bars. The rapper didn’t show up for a hearing last week, so an Albany, N.Y. magistrate recommended his driver’s license and passport be revoked. While Flav, 53, is required to pony up $837.72 a week to baby-mama Angie Parker for child support … he clearly hasn’t done so in some time. This isn’t the first time the outspoken, likely insane rapper has slipped up on child support payments. Parker sued Flav in 2010 for $63,458. Before his second career as a ridiculous VH1 reality show star, Flav was a member of Public Enemy. He served 90 days in jail in 1993 for shooting at his neighbor. The Flavor of Love star and House of Flavor restaurant owner is due back in court June 19 to answer the charges … we’ll see if he shows. [Photo: WENN.com]
