John Austin Hopkins was reportedly charged with 36 counts of gross sexual imposition with 28 first-grade girls by a grand jury. The case began after a concerned father met with the principal at Clearcreek Elementary School after expressing concern when his daughter told him that she “got to sit on Mr. Hopkins lap.” So school administrators checked the footage from the gym’s security cameras and allegedly saw the girl sitting on Hopkins’ lap, confirming the parents concerns. John Austin Hopkins was immediately removed from the classroom and turned it over to the Springboro Police Department and a full investigation began prompting authorities to study security camera footage dating back to December 2018. In the video, Hopkins was allegedly seen putting his hands up the shirts and skirts of the girls. The grand jury was presented with incidences of alleged inappropriate touching of 88 different first grade girls. They decided to indict 36 counts of gross sexual imposition related to 28 different girls. The 36 sexual misconduct charges are all third-degree felonies, which each carry a 5-year maximum prison sentence.

Khloe Kardashian has been having a very, very hard time. Sure, she’s got a huge family that, despite the constant drama, is pretty tight, and yes, she’s got buckets and buckets of money. But does any of that matter when she just keeps on losing in love? Well, yes. That’s a lot more than many people have — she can confide in any one of her sisters, and if she can’t reach them, she can always dry her tears with cash or diamonds or whatever else rich people have laying around the house. Still … there’s no question that times are tough on the romance front. The whole thing is a mess, and it’s been going on for so long. We’ll have to jump around to get the full effect, but everything centers around one fact, and that is that Tristan Thompson is garbage. Just over a year ago, days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True, we all learned that he had been cheating on her during her pregnancy . She really struggled with the news, which was obviously understandable, but ultimately, she decided to stay with him and try to make it work. It did not work. Back in February, there was an incident involving Tristan and Jordyn Woods , Kylie’s former best friend. The two were at a party together, and something happened — some witnesses claimed they made out, others have reported that they’d actually been carrying on an affair for a while. Jordyn has maintained that Tristan just kissed her on the mouth as he left theparty, but whatever happened, it was clear that Tristan had done something wrong. And for Khloe, that was the final straw. She broke up with Tristan for good, but the drama was far from over. Cameras were rolling while everything was happening, of course, and we’re now seeing everything play out on Keeping Up with the Kardashians . And if all that wasn’t enough, Jordan Craig, Tristan’s ex and the mother of his first child, has decided that now would be a good time to discuss the rumors that Tristan cheated on her with Khloe during her pregnancy. In some recent court documents, Jordan confirmed what we all pretty much knew — Tristan was still with her when he began seeing Khloe. Khloe has since apologized , saying that she thought Tristan was single at the beginning of their relationship because he showed her “physical proof” of it. She also said that “His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we even met.” It’s a little much that Khloe felt the need to interview everyone in Tristan’s life to see if he was really single — and it’s definitely too much that she seemed even the tiniest bit surprised when it turned out he was unfaithful to her. For over a year now, Khloe has been soothing her pain by sharing inspirational quotes on social media, and if you’ve followed any news about her at all, you know exactly what we’re talking about. But now, thanks to a brand new selfie she just posted, it seems she’s found another way to cope, too. Because how are you going to feel sad when you don’t even look like the person you were when your relationship fell apart?! Here’s her latest look: It’s … different, right? And if you can’t pinpoint exactly what’s weird about this, don’t worry, because her followers were quick to leave their thoughts. “That’s not Khloe,” one person commented. “Where is she?” “I honestly couldn’t tell which Kardashian this was for a moment, I had to look at the name,” another person said. A fan wrote “Giiiiiiirl I adore u but what the hell did you do to your nose?” “Is that a Klone?” someone else asked. “Because it sure isn’t Khloe.” Countless people said that she looks like Kim, and lots said that they even thought this was a photo of Kim. Others couldn’t even tell who was pictured.

But one this is for sure, and that’s that she really, really does look different.

Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN A Man Tried To Steal Halle Berry’s House Using A Fake Deed Halle Berry was really close to returning to her Hollywood home to find the locks changed and a strange man living inside. According to TMZ , law enforcement sources say that 59-year-old Ronald Eugene Griffin first showed up at the Los Angeles property owned by the actress back in January and allegedly fiddled with the locks, but took off when he was approached by her gardener. A couple months later, in March, cops received a trespassing call from workers at Berry’s home, who said Griffin was there with a locksmith trying to get in, also claiming that he was the new owner of the home and had the deed to prove it. Not only did Griffin try to make his way into the house, he reportedly already managed to have one of the locks changed, and even made a call to the police when he was confronted by the employees at the house. When police arrived, Griffin maintained that he was the owner of the house, but LAPD detectives quickly determined that he had fraudulently changed the title of the residence. Halle told the detectives she had no idea who he was and most definitely did not give him permission to be at her home. Griffin was later arrested and hit with a felony count of procuring and offering a false warranty deed and an additional count of petty theft. His bond’s set at $36k. TMZ also reported that Griffin apparently didn’t even know the house he was trying to steal was Halle Berry’s place–it was just a coincidence. As for Halle, this isn’t the first time she’s had major issues with intruders. Back in 2011, she came home, walked in the kitchen and told cops, “As I opened my glass kitchen door and closed it behind me, all of a sudden I sensed someone behind me and turned to see the intruder standing less than a foot behind me, staring through my glass kitchen door.” That guy also ended up being arrested.
