Pedophile pensioner jailed for 10 years
A PENSIONER has been jailed for almost 10 years for sexually abusing six children, including his own son and daughter. The 48-year-old Brisbane man, who cannot be identified, was today sentenced to nine and a half years jail after pleading guilty in the Brisbane District Court to 10 charges. The charges included six counts of indecent treatment of girls under 16 and three counts of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child. The court was told he abused the children for almost 20 years, and that the acts included oral sex, mutual masturbation, digital penetration and the insertion of wire and other objects into a boy's penis. The offences only came to light in 2005 when his then-partner told police the defendant asked her seven-year-old son to insert wire into his penis while they were at a shopping centre car park.
Voter ID Laws Are Set to Face a Crucial Test
But on Election Day last November, Valerie Williams became that evidence, according to lawyers in a case that will be argued before the Supreme Court on Wednesday. After Ms. Williams grabbed her cane that day and walked into the polling station in the lobby of her retirement home to vote, as she has done in at least the last two elections, she was barred from doing so. The election officials at the polling place, whom she had known for years, told her she could not cast a regular ballot. They said the forms of identification she had always used - a telephone bill, a Social Security letter with her address on it and an expired Indiana driver's license - were no longer valid under the voter ID law, which required a current state-issued photo identification card. "Of course I threw a fit," said Ms.
Lawsuit by city targets lender
District Court in Los Angeles alleging that the industry had discriminated against black borrowers. And in 2006, Ameriquest Mortgage Co. settled a lawsuit brought by 49 states that accused the company of violating consumer fraud statutes. But the lawyers involved in Baltimore's case and several advocates could not name another city that has sued a lender under the federal Fair Housing Act to recover costs incurred from vacant properties. Eric Halperin, director of the Washington office of the Center for Responsible Lending, said Baltimore's lawsuit is an extension of a long-standing practice in which plaintiffs have used the housing act in attempts to thwart unfair real estate practices. "The idea of bringing these cases against the lenders is something that is relatively new," Halperin said.
ARMENIA: PLANNED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION EXIT POLL CREATES CONTROVERSY
The United States has offered to organize and finance a first-ever exit poll in Armenia as part of an effort to promote a free-and-fair presidential election on February 19. The initiative has been endorsed by the election favorite, Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian, while causing serious misgivings among his main challengers. The main source of opposition candidatesÂ’ concern is the apparent willingness of US officials to rely on an Armenian polling organization with reputed close ties to the Armenian government. Its pre-election opinion polls have long been criticized as misleading by Armenian opposition and civic groups. Since the Soviet collapse in 1991, most elections in Armenia have been marred by serious instances of fraud, and strongly criticized by Western observers. Western monitors deemed the most recent, parliamentary elections, held in May 2007, to be more democratic than the previous ones, although the divided Armenian opposition again alleged widespread irregularities.
