Busted: 7 NYPD Officers Face Court For Prostitution & Gambling Ring Involvement

(Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) Seven NYPD cops will have to answer to the court on Thursday for charges related to a prostitution and gambling ring. According to CBS2 , the officers are accused of providing protection, including info about ongoing investigations, for illegal gambling and prostitution locations in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Jackson Heights, Queens. The suspects are identified as Sergeants Carlos Cruz, 41; Louis Failla, 49; Cliff Nieves, 37; Officers Steven Nieves, 32; Giancarlo Raspanti, 43; and Detectives Giovanny Acosta-Rojas, 40; and Rene Samaniego, 43. They face charges of promoting prostitution and enterprise corruption. Sources say the Internal Affairs Bureau began investigating in 2015. They were tipped off by another officer. Since then, sources say investigators have obtained thousands of hours of surveillance, including wiretaps of the cops allegedly involved. In a statement, NYPD Commissioner James P. O’Neill said the accused officers “swore an oath and then betrayed it.” He continued, “The people of this Department are rightly held to the highest standard, and should they fail to meet it, the penalty will be swift and severe. I thank Deputy Commissioner Joseph Reznick for the thorough investigation performed by the Internal Affairs Bureau, in partnership with the Queens District Attorney’s Office, in rooting out this illicit activity. His unit initiated this probe and in doing so has sent a clear message: there is no place in the NYPD for criminal or unethical behavior.” More sources say a retired NYPD detective was arrested as a “major player” in the operation. Two more uniformed officers were put on modified desk duty, and their guns and badges were taken away. More than 40 civilians are also said to be wanted for their involvement in the illegal activities. The Queens County District Attorney will lead the prosecution of the case. More info will be revealed in a press conference expected for Thursday afternoon.

Discrimination Lawsuit That Followed Bill Maher’s Use Of The N-Word Is Moving Forward

See the rest here:

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Many might remember talk show host Bill Maher  referring to himself as a “house n*gger”  back in June 2017 , which caused a major media backlash. Over a year later, the dust has somewhat settled, however the ripple effects of the incident are still being felt thanks to one lawsuit. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Shonitria Anthony was an editor at the Los Angeles-based news site ATTN: around the same time Maher made his controversial statements. The site is all about raising social consciousness for millennials. However, Anthony wasn’t feeling too comfortable at the publication after Bill’s words, considering he is one of ATTN:’s investors. She organized her Black co-workers and asked for a company meeting regarding Maher’s use of the N-word. She also pointed out that there weren’t any people of color in upper management and suggested there be more represented, especially in the human resources department. Soon after Anthony brought these things up, she says she was subjected to adverse employment actions that eventually led to her termination in August. In March 2018 , Anthony filed a lawsuit against ATTN: and its top executives, claiming they fired her out of retaliation for her outspokenness on race. ATTN: says Anthony’s firing had nothing to do with this, but she was let go as part of a business strategy to shift to video. After a Los Angeles Superior Court heard Anthony’s case, they ruled that she has probability of prevailing on her retaliation and discrimination claims. The judge argued that she submitted enough evidence on how she experienced setbacks at the office almost immediately after she protested conditions.  This led the judge to believe that Anthony’s firing was done with “a discriminatory intent.” Now ATTN: is heading to a California appeals court where they’ll have to establish the legitimacy of their actions. Meanwhile, Anthony continues to seek damages for mental and emotional distress, lost wages, and punitive damages.

Really??? San Antonio Woman Allegedly Had An Affair With Her Nephew, Then Killed Him To Keep It A Secret

Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Prosecutors Claim This Woman Murdered Her Nephew After Their Affair Authorities had been called to the Abdelaziz family’s home along in San Antonio seven times before the fatal stabbing of Mohammed Abdelaziz, according to KENS–That was in August 2016. The man’s aunt by marriage, Andira Abdelaziz, has since been charged with stabbing Mohammed in the back that fateful day. Andira’s marriage to Mohammed’s uncle was arranged when she was only 14-years-old, according to the San Antonio Express-News, which is a part of the family’s Palestinian cultural tradition. During the first day of her trial on Thursday, prosecutor Clayton Hayden told the jury that 37-years-old Andira and Mohammed were having an affair for years, and that their sexual relationship played a big part in Mohammed’s murder. Mohammed entered his uncle’s home at about 8 a.m. the day he was murdered, which prompted a call where police say they were responding to a possible burglary–when they arrived, he told them everything in the home was fine, so they left. Minutes later, sheriff’s deputies were called back to the house, this time to  a messier scene , WOAI reported. Mohammed had crashed his car into the front of the house, and laid dead at the wheel with a stab wound in his back…he had allegedly gotten in his car after being stabbed in an attempt to flee the scene. The prosecutor accused Andira on Thursday of stabbing Mohammed to keep their affair a secret. “He sent some texts suggesting that he was going to reveal the romantic relationship to the family,” Hayden said, adding that the revelation of such infidelity would have been a disgrace to a family that adheres to Palestinian cultural norms. If convicted, Andira Abdelaziz faces up to life in prison.

President Donald Trump Pardons Boxer Jack Johnson, Twitter Sees Through It

Source: PA Images / Getty Jack Johnson , boxing’s first Black heavyweight champion, violated the Mann Act back in 1913 when he drove a white woman across state lines in his vehicle. Today, President Donald Trump, flanked by Sylvester Stallone and others, posthumously pardoned the legendary pugilist but some on Twitter viewed it as an empty act. Joining Stallone in the Oval Office where Trump issued and signed the pardon was WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder and former undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, Lennox Lewis. Back on July 4, 2010, when President Barack Obama was in office, Sen. John McCain was part of a growing chorus of voices seeking Jackson’s pardon along with an aggressive campaign from the family. Just under eight years later, the dream was realized in a moment that observers see as nothing more than a Trump photo op. “If he was President 100 years ago, Trump would have had Jack Johnson deported,” Sportswriter David Zirin wrote in a retweet caption sharing the news. Reaction across Twitter has moved Jack Johnson’s name near or at the top of Twitter’s Trending Topics section and we’ve collected some of the responses below and on the following pages. If he was President 100 years ago, Trump would have had Jack Johnson deported. https://t.co/ne3lDS4D4X — Dave Zirin (@EdgeofSports) May 24, 2018 For those people who think Trump critics like me are knee-jerk opponents of everything Trump does and are incapable of evaluating individual decisions: he has done a right and good thing with his pardon of Jack Johnson. Doesn’t change anything else. But, one right and good thing. — Jacob T. Levy (@jtlevy) May 24, 2018 Trump just pardoned Jack Johnson as an attempt at distracting from his #NorthKorea failure. Even worse, Trump has never heard of Jack Johnson the boxer, and thinks he pardoned Jack Johnson the singer. — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) May 24, 2018 — Photo: Getty

Racist New York Lawyer Breaks His Silence: ‘I Am Not A Racist’

A round the world, Aaron M. Schlossberg   is known as the “racist lawyer” who verbally attacked Spanish-speaking customers and employees at Fresh Kitchen  restaurant in the Midtown area of New York City. The video of the 44-year-old spewing hate has been viewed nearly four million times, resulting in a  Change.org petition  demanding his disbarment, a Mariachi band playing outside of his home and being booted from his office space.  Now the lawyer is speaking out for the first time with one of the worst statements ever. PICTURES & VIDEO: White Woman Who Called Cops On Black BBQ Becomes Hilarious Meme Schlossberg insincerely babbled on Twitter, “To the people I insulted, I apologize. See myself online opened my eyes — the manner in which I expressed myself is unacceptable and is not the person I am. I see my words and actions hurt people, and for that I am deeply sorry.” Actually, your words and action only hurt yourself. You can’t walk the streets of New York City, you got kicked out of your office space and, more than likely, your money is affected. Who wants to hire a racist d*ck like you? Oh! He also wants you to know he is not racist, “What the video did not convey is the real me. I am not racist.” Really, bruh? This wasn’t a one-time incident.  In October of 2016 ,  Schlossberg randomly attacked a man on the street, calling him an “ugly f***ing” foreigner.” The man happened to be Willie Moore , a video blogger who is White and from Massachusetts. A video also surfaced of him defending Trump calling Mexicans racist. You are a stone-call racist, Aaron. All you need is a tiki torch. See his full, insipid statement below: pic.twitter.com/xrefxi5Oyg — AaronSchlossbergLaw (@ASchlossbergLaw) May 22, 2018 As Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” We believe the person you showed us, Aaron. You might as well pack your bags and run out of New York City like you did in the video below because you’ll never work in this town again! Adiós!

So Sad: Former Playboy Model Reportedly Jumps To Her Death With 7-Year-Old Son

Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty The life of a mother and son ended in tragedy this Friday at a Manhattan hotel. Stephanie Adams , a former Playboy model, reportedly jumped with her 7-year-old son, Vincent, off the 25th floor of the Gotham Hotel, according to law enforcement . Stephanie and Vincent reportedly checked into a penthouse suite around 6 p.m. on Thursday and then they were found dead on a second-floor balcony courtyard at about 8:15 a.m. on Friday. They fell 23 floors. UPDATE: The victims have been identified as former Playboy centerfold model Stephanie Adams and her 7-year-old son, Vincent. https://t.co/f1WhV77YWv pic.twitter.com/3cW5oh5llh — New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) May 18, 2018 Officials say Stephanie was in a heated custody dispute with her estranged husband Charles Nicolai. Police had been called to their house several times in the past few months and according to Stephanie’s former divorce lawyer Raoul Felder, they even had to hand off their son to each other in the presence of a police precinct. Raoul had been friends with Stephanie for 20 years but he stopped serving as her divorce lawyer a couple months ago. Recently, Stephanie was hoping to go to Europe to be with her boyfriend there. This served as a major issue in her case, according to Raoul. He described her as a “sweet and ultra-polite” person who never seemed depressed when he knew her. “She had certain problems, but depression wasn’t one of them,” Raoul said. Raoul also remembers her son, whom Stephanie would bring to his office just to say hello. He loved to play with a Superman statue in his office, recalled Raoul. Stephanie was Playboy’s “Miss November” centerfold back in 1992. She also wrote more than 25 self-help books, ran an online beauty products company and managed the finances in her husband’s office, according to a 2013  New York Post profile . In addition to all this, she also re-appeared in Playboy in 2003, worked with Elite Model Management and earned two business degrees. Surely, the all-around successful woman will be missed, along with her son.

Wooow: George Zimmerman Allegedly Killer-Stalks An Investigator Working On Trayvon Martin Doc

Source: Pool / Getty George Zimmerman continues to be out here acting reckless, and now the man acquitted of killing a 17-year-old Trayvon Martin  is allegedly letting his rage out on a private investigator. I warn you…the story is wild. It all started when Dennis Warren was hired by the producers of a Trayvon Martin documentary back in September. He was hired to do some investigative research on Trayvon’s death, and one of his main orders of business was contacting Zimmerman back in September 2017, according to an affidavit. Warren left a message for Zimmerman saying the producers of the doc wanted to include him in the film. But after that, there was no reply from Zimmerman. Fast forward to December and a producer for the documentary reaches out to Warren, saying Zimmerman has been making threats against the producer and against Warren. According to authorities, Zimmerman was mad that the producer and Warren were trying to get Zimmerman’s family involved in the film. “Dennis is a (expletive) who bothered my uncle in his home,” Zimmerman texted the producer, according to the report. “Local or former law officer, he’s well on his way to the inside of a gator as well. 10-4?” Pause. A gator? …so I guess Zimmerman is the gator whisperer now…   It gets more nuts. Authorities say that a few days later, Warren started getting direct messages from Zimmerman himself, and within a two-hour period, Warren received 21 phone calls, 38 text messages and seven voicemails.   Messages included “Answer your phone (expletive)” and “I’ll see you before you realize it,” according to the affidavit. When Warren sent Zimmerman a message telling him to stop, Zimmerman reportedly replied, “No!” followed by, “Text me again. I’ll show up at your home you (expletive).”   Zimmerman also allegedly sent Warren an interview he did with TheBlast.com where he’s quoted as saying, “I know how to handle people who (expletive) with me, I have since February of 2012…anyone who (expletives) with my parents will be fed to an alligator.” Again with these alligators.   It gets even more bizarre. According to the report, Zimmerman left so many voicemails that Warren’s inbox filled up. These voicemails included ticking sounds and tones that would slowly increase in speed and frequency.     When a sergeant, who’s interacted with Zimmerman in the past, called him in January about the allegations, deputies said Zimmerman belittle the sergeant, calling her a “whore” and other foul names.   Wow. This man really does think he’s above the law. The Siminole County Sheriff’s Office submitted a report on the whole situation to the state attorney’s office and Zimmerman is scheduled to appear in court on stalking charges May 30. Meanwhile, the six-part documentary Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story (produced by Jay-Z ) is set to premiere this summer….with or without Zimmerman.
