Forest Green Rovers' manager Robbie Savage has spoken out about abusive behaviour from fans during the Nailsworth club's visit to Scunthorpe United on Saturday.

In a tense televised game, the narrow 3-2 defeat for the Gloucestershire side was marred by repeated chanting that the FGR manager was a "paedo" and "sex offender" and Mr Savage was seen to consult with the club's stewards over the fans' apparent distraction tactics.

Scunthorpe United has since said that the incident is being looked into by the governing body the Football Association.

Despite a subsequent tannoyed warning to fans in the Britcon stand of Scunthorpe's Attis Arena, signficant numbers of fans in the packed stand were heard to persist with the chanting on Saturday, in a pattern of behaviour that echoed an incident reported to the Football Association in late November last year, when FGR travelled to a game against Carlisle United.

A man who schemed to rape children as young as six was revealed at his trial to have been a police informer who spied on environmental activists.

Nick Gratwick, 68, was found guilty on Friday of 38 “abhorrent” paedophile offences, including plans over the last two years to pay to rape or sexually assault children in the UK and abroad.

A former Wall Street executive has pleaded guilty to drugging and sexually assaulting women, as well as buying child pornography.

Edward Gene Smith, a former Citigroup managing director, entered his plea in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.

Smith, 50, admitted that he intentionally lured women in New York so he could drug them and have sex with them. He also confessed to buying and possessing pornographic images of minors, Bloomberg reported.

The man accused of obstructing the Charlie Kirk murder probe is in even more hot water ... he's now been charged with possessing child porn.

George Zinn -- who falsely told police he shot Kirk moments after the attack -- was charged with obstruction of justice following the September 10 shooting death of the conservative activist at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT.

Now, Zinn has been charged with 4 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after FBI agents examined his phone and found images of underage girls dressed only in their underwear, according to court documents filed Tuesday by Utah prosecutors. The docs say Zinn admitted to the feds he gets "sexually aroused" by children.

On September 10, Zinn was arrested and cuffed by police at UVU minutes after Kirk was shot in the neck while taking questions from a stage during one of his college events.

Cops say Zinn complained of chest pains and was brought to a hospital, where he told investigators he lied and was not Kirk's shooter.

FBI agents showed up at the hospital to interview Zinn, asking him if there was anything illegal on his phone, court records say. Zinn allegedly responded that he uses the phone to watch "child sexual abuse material."

A Bolivian judge on Friday ordered a warrant for the arrest of former President Evo Morales after he didn’t appear to testify in court in a case alleging that he sexually abused a minor

A Bolivian judge on Friday issued a warrant for the arrest of former President Evo Morales after he failed to appear in court over a case alleging that he sexually abused a minor.

Morales, 65, is alleged to have had a child with a teenage girl in 2016 — a sexual relationship that would have constituted statutory rape under Bolivian law.
“There's been a warrant ordered for his search and arrest,” said Judge Nelson Rocabado after a hearing in the southern region of Tarija, where the alleged victim lives.

Morales has denied the allegations and claimed he was a “victim” to legal warfare carried out by his ally-turned-political-rival President Luis Arce, and refused to appear in court.

A suspended Charleston County judge charged with possessing child sex abuse materials maintains his innocence and says he was hacked in newly released jailhouse calls.

James B. Gosnell Jr., 68, was arrested on Sept. 16 and accused of possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the United States Department of Justice.

Federal investigators allege that Gosnell not only possessed a USB flash drive with hundreds of videos of child sex abuse material, but evidence also shows that Gosnell claimed to have abused children in his West Ashley neighborhood.

The calls mentioned come from Gosnell’s time inside the Charleston County Jail from his arrest on September 16 until September 26. It took months to receive the calls through a public records request.

In hours of phone calls, Gosnell tried to limit any discussion of his case, but he did tell loved ones he may be able to fight the graphic charges against him.

“There is a possibility; they are telling me this is a good possibility, that I can be out of all of this, but it’s going to take a couple of weeks to get me out of it,” Gosnell said.

“It was b***t is what it was. It was a hack,” Gosnell said. “It’s nerve-racking to me right now because I had to resign my position.”
