01) Whoopi Goldberg Dunks On Meghan McCain

“The View had a conversation about Georgia passing a fetal heartbeat bill.

The View’s Whoopi Goldberg chastised co-host Meghan McCain on Monday morning during a debate on the recent “heartbeat” abortion bill passed in Georgia, telling her conservative colleague it is unfair to say liberals don’t believe that science shows life begins at conception.

Discussing actress and activist Alyssa Milano’s much-mocked call for a sex strike in response to the restrictive abortion legislation, McCain said she doesn’t “like clicktivism as a general rule,” referencing Milano’s tweet.

After blasting the liberal actress for not giving her plan much thought, McCain went on to say that Milano and others need to understand that “pro-life women” like herself feel they “are completely left out of conversations like this.”

“It doesn’t occur to her that there are women like me that don’t have a problem with this bill,” McCain added.

“It’s scary to learn, but sexual attraction to children is a lot more common than most people realise.

Not everyone with that problem will meet with the clinical definition for paedophilia, but the attraction is there nevertheless.

So what separates a would-be abuser from an abuser?

Today’s episode is part one of a two part special where we speak to three men who say they’ve never offended but struggle with the attraction they feel towards children.

We also ask an expert about exactly how common attraction to children is, and what it is that makes people more likely to act on it.

Westminster VIP abuse accuser [Carl Beech] ‘fled to Sweden when story collapsed’…

01) Westminster VIP abuse accuser ‘fled to Sweden when story collapsed’

“A man who made a series of “heinous” false allegations that prompted a multimillion-pound police investigation into an alleged VIP paedophile ring in Westminster fled to Sweden when his claims unravelled, a court has heard.

Carl Beech, previously referred to by police as “Nick”, is accused of lying when he claimed he was among victims of an alleged group of establishment figures including senior men in politics, the military and the intelligence services who raped, kidnapped and murdered boys in the late 1970s and early 80s.

Beech, 51, is on trial at Newcastle crown court where he faces 12 counts of perverting the course of justice from December 2012 to March 2016 and one count of fraud over a criminal compensation payout he pocketed.

The charges, which he denies, include that he made a false allegation of witnessing the murder of a child by the former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor. Beech, who worked for the Care Quality Commission health watchdog, is also alleged to have lied about claiming to have witnessed the murder of two other children.

…

Police found “a number of important claims” he made were “probably false”, the court heard. Opening the prosecution’s case on Tuesday, Tony Badenoch QC told the jury: “He had lied about the content of these allegations, taken active steps to embellish a false story and then cover his tracks when challenged. He made no response … when he was asked to account for this by Northumbria police and, ultimately … he took the only option that was really available to him: he fled the country and he lived overseas as a fugitive.

“That was until a specialist fugitive unit in Sweden worked closely with Northumbria police and the National Crime Agency to secure his arrest on a European arrest warrant executed overseas. He was then extradited back to this country to face these charges.”

01) How bad is the WhatsApp surveillance hacking attack and what should you do?

“WhatsApp has rushed to roll out a security fix after it emerged hackers could spy on phones by injecting surveillance software via the call function.

The app discovered a vulnerability that allowed attackers to install malicious code on iPhones and Android phones by ringing up a target device.

The code could be transmitted even if users did not answer their phones and a log of the call often disappeared, the Financial Times reported.

…

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

WhatsApp says it has rolled out a security fix and that users should update their app on their phones.

This can be done using the phone’s application store.

For Android users, they should go to Play Store, then tap Menu > My apps & games. Tap UPDATE next to WhatsApp Messenger.

Alternatively, they can go to Play Store and search for WhatsApp. Tap UPDATE under WhatsApp Messenger.

01) Baltimore County Corrections Officer Thomas Mannion Charged In 13-Year-Old Boy’s Rape, Child Porn

“…[Thomas] Mannion met the 12-year-old boy at the beginning of the year allegedly on a dating app and brought him back to his Parkville home and raped him. In charging documents, the teen told police Mannion took sexually-explicit photos of him and created an account for him on Grindr.

On Monday, Mannion again grabbed the boy, who is now 13, outside his Essex home. A neighbor spotted the boy entering the basement apartment Mannion rented and thought it was a burglary in progress. He asked the homeowner if he could go into the basement to check for the burglar, but instead found Mannion naked in bed with the teen. The neighbor left and called police.

Detectives learned Monday evening about the sexual assault. The boy told police the same man assaulted him twice — once this week and once between January and February 2019.

“He went to check. And, what he found was a renter who rents out the basement of that home in bed naked with a juvenile subject,” Baltimore County Police spokeswoman Ofc. Jen Peach said.”

The boy claims to have said “no” to the sex.
