Suspected Pedophile Nabbed Police arrested a suspected pedophile in New Jersey after launching a public appeal in the wake of a two-year international manhunt. Chip Reid reportshttp://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=4081758n (AP) A rare international alert seeking a man shown in dozens of raw child porn images quickly led to the arrest of a small-time actor, who painted faces at children's parties and performed as "the best Santa Claus anyone has ever seen." Wayne Nelson Corliss told authorities he had sex with three boys in Thailand six years ago, an experience he described as "euphoria," a prosecutor said Thursday at Corliss' first court...

Wayne Bent, who has been charged with criminal sexual contact of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, was released from jail on a $55,000 bond. (AP Photo )SANTA FE, N.M., May 9, 2008 AP) The leader of an apocalyptic sect accused of sex crimes against underage female followers was released from jail Friday after bond was posted, authorities said. Wayne Bent left the city-county lockup in the small northeastern New Mexico town of Clayton about 3 p.m., Police Chief Scott Julian said. "He is no longer in our custody," Julian said. Bent was released after...

There are 5,000 child prostitutes living in the UK - and over three-quarters of them are girls, according to a new report. The report, by Save The Children, criticises the Government for "not doing enough to respond to the plight of children in this inhumane situation". But Bill Bell, Save the Children's head of protection, says child slavery is still a major problem today. "There are still millions of children in both rich and poor countries who are being forced to lead slave-like lives under horrific conditions of humiliation and abuse," he said. He called on world leaders to "act...

(05-08) 18:49 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years. Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was...

"Once they invent the Sexaroid, that's it for marriage" — Cliff Spears Whither the Droid? The personal servant/buddy/crapworker robot was a staple of the Wonderful World Of Tomorrow that we kids of the '60s were sold back in the olden days. That world turned out to be a BIG FAT LIE — and no part of it more so than the foretold robot pal. I can live withot my rocket belt and flying car, but, dammit, why didn't I get the robo-butler I was promised? It's not due to any lack of effort on the part of industry. The factories...

A preliminary hearing for a Westland woman who police say was paid for sex by Sen. Debbie Stabenow's husband has been postponed. Authorities say Thomas Athans paid Martin $150 for sex in a Troy hotel room in February. Police did not bring any sex charges against Athans.

This week, tween star Miley Cyrus shocked America when she crossed over to the dark side of adulthood. When Vanity Fair released photos of 15-year-old Miley draped in a sheet, concerned parents and Disney execs were aghast that their sugary pop idol had become a sexualized young woman. Parents told reporters that they were no longer going to let their daughters watch Hannah Montana, Miley’s Disney-produced television show-turned-musical-act-turned-brand-phenomenon. Internet message boards, populated mostly by furious mothers, advocated for a massive Hannah Montana paraphernalia bonfire. There are rumblings that Disney might even replace Miley with her up-and-coming co-star, Serena Gomez. Miley...

IF you are a man, sex got a whole lot more dangerous. Consider this scenario. A woman meets a man in a bar or at a party. She likes the man. He likes the woman. She may not normally be a sex on the first night kind of girl. But they have a number of drinks. Fuelled by alcohol, they put aside their inhibitions. The woman goes home with the man. She says yes to sex. In the morning, the man makes it clear it was a one-night stand. The woman is deeply offended and regrets her drunken decision. She...

However high-minded their courses may sound – "Mirror of Princes," say, or "The Political Philosophy of Aristotle" – college students today enter a low hook-up culture when they leave the classroom. In case you don't know, a hook-up is a brief sexual encounter between two partners who don't necessarily know each other before and who don't necessarily want to know each other after. And it's free. The sort of transient sex that once was available to men only for money can now be had, without paying, from college women – as long as the man is a fellow student and...

God's Guide to Sex Everyone knows about the similarities between animal and human sexuality, but what about the differences? And what are the implications of those differences? by David Treybig God cares deeply about your sex life. What? You've got to be kidding, right? After all, doesn't God say don't do it while most people do? Does He know what we've been doing? Surprising to many, God is quite concerned about our sexuality and wants us to have the best sex possible. And yes, He does know what each of us has been doing. And He's disappointed that so many...

Bang! There is an article in the current edition of Newsweek concerning young Libyan men who travel to Iraq as mujahideen. The article notes that Libya has a significantly higher than average percentage of these men who volunteer to become suicide bombers - 85 percent, in fact. The author of the article then goes on to recount his visit to an impoverished small city which has contributed an outsized percentage of Libyan volunteers for jihad. This city is in the least affluent area of Libya and has - as is often true of poorer areas anywhere - a highly conservative,...

Eliot Spitzer hit with further sex allegations By James Quinn in New York Last Updated: 8:46pm BST 24/04/2008 Eliot Spitzer, the former Governor of New York, has been hit by further allegations about his sexual predilections in the wake of the prostitution ring scandal that led to his downfall. Mr Spitzer is now being linked to a second prostitute Mr Spitzer, the former scourge of Wall Street who had been tipped as a possible future Democratic candidate for the White House, is being linked to a second woman who he allegedly paid for sexual services. According to reports in the...

For more than five decades, self-proclaimed experts and so-called sexual reformers, beginning with Alfred Kinsey, have worked to advance the belief that there are no public consequences to private sexual behavior. And Americans, for the most part, have bought into this notion, proving what Lenin said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth!” Historically, most states in the U.S. had legal prohibitions against adultery, often called “crimes against marriage,” which were designed to protect marriage by punishing those who jeopardized the family by seeking sexual satisfaction beyond their spouse. Virtually every advanced civilization has had some form of prohibition...

Democratic state lawmakers are introducing legislation they say would cut down on unintended pregnancies and protect women's health through expanded sex education and improved access to birth control. Health insurance plans that cover prescriptions would have to include coverage for contraception.

This is CNN? Kinky! CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said...

Kimberly Coulter remembers riding her bike all over St. Paul’s east side as a kid, not a worry on her mind. These days she’s a Cottage Grove mother of two, and though she says she feels safe raising her kids in their quiet neighborhood near Grey Cloud Elementary School, Coulter said the knowledge a convicted sex offender lives nearby leaves her wary of letting her 10- and 12-year-old even go around the block. “It’s scary,� she said after last week’s public forum on sexual predators hosted by the Cottage Grove Police Department at Cottage Grove Junior High. Coulter said she...

SPILLING a vodka cranberry down your date’s white shirt is never a good start. And banging on about Brad Pitt won’t help your prospects either. That’s why it’s a good idea to set yourself some dating rules right from the start. ‘Chilling out’ and ‘not acting like a psycho’ are definitely priorities as far as we are concerned. So we asked relationship expert Jenni Trent Hughes to share her top ten dating tips: 1) Give yourself a quick emotional MOT before you go on a date to check you’re in the mindset for a possible new relationship. In other words,...

According to a poll of 50 sex therapists, the most desirable sex lasts, in actual fact, mere minutes. Between 3 and 13, optimally. Or, to break it down another way, a span somewhere between Penny Lane and the second half of an episode of My Family. The time it takes to get from Finchley Road to Wembley Park. Barely enough time to toast a muffin. It should be made clear that, apparently, this paradigmatic shag snack does not include foreplay. Nor does it include the enigmatically named "afterplay"... This 3-to-13-minutes statistic is devoted purely to the central, core, essential, elemental,...

ANNAPOLIS (AP) — A woman can say "no" at any time during intercourse, and a man can be convicted of rape if he doesn"t stop, Maryland's highest court ruled yesterday.In the case of a man convicted of rape in 2004, the Court of Appeals decided that a woman can withdraw consent at any time, even after agreeing to sex. The court ordered a new trial for Maouloud Baby, who was convicted of raping a woman in a car in 2003 when he was 15. His first trial ended in a mistrial. According to testimony, the 18-year-old woman had just had...

If only those were just hanging chads they were talking about on the Senate floor Wednesday afternoon. Republican Sen. Carey Baker of Eustis proposed an amendment to a transportation bill that would have cracked down on an increasingly popular accoutrement on trucks: hanging sacks - dubbed “truck nutz” — that very realistically resemble male genitalia. His proposal is to make it a violation worthy of a $60 non-moving violation to have the testicular feature on your car, which are most commonly found hanging down from the trailer hitches of pickup trucks. It’s just like the state’s existing regulations against obscenity...

James Carville, long-time political advisor to the Clintons explained that calling New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson a “Judas” for endorsing rival Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president was “mild” compared to what is yet to come. “I was going easy on the guy,” Carville alleged. “If I’d wanted to get tough I would pointed out that Richardson has lost the privilege of swallowing anymore of Bill Clinton’s semen.” Richardson denied that he deserved either the remarks or being “cut off from life’s ambrosia.” “It’s unfair,” Richardson complained. “Did I rat on them when they took bribes from the Chinese government?...

Americans cover their bodies in the sauna more than Germans visiting an Italian church. Anyone visiting a health club in downtown Washington who walks into the sauna after exercising will encounter a host of people all wrapped in material. One towel is used to cover the chest and shoulders, while a second one is elaborately draped around the midsection and hips. But lust often rages beneath these towels and, in the case of some politicians, naked lunacy. When it comes to their sexual behavior, the Western superpower's elected representatives exhibit a number of traits that clearly distinguish them from politicians...

A new brain-scan study may help explain what's going on in the minds of financial titans when they take risky monetary gambles — sex. When young men were shown erotic pictures, they were more likely to make a larger financial gamble than if they were shown a picture of something scary, such a snake, or something neutral, such as a stapler, university researchers reported. The arousing pictures lit up the same part of the brain that lights up when financial risks are taken. "You have a need in an evolutionary sense for both money and women. They trigger the same...

On the flimsy pretext of this being the season when HS seniors get their college acceptances, a New York Times column has set about asking current college students about their plans for future sexual conquests. Stephen Dubner handed his 'Freakonomics' column over to his assistant, Nicole Tourtelot, this week. She asked five collegians five questions. Three of them were innocuous: who's paying for your education, how do you view cigarette smoking, what's your dream job? But then came: * How many more people do you think you’ll sleep with before you get married? * How many would you like to?

Oh, to be a campus activist now that spring is here. “Campus activist” is what the Boston Globe-Democrat calls the students pushing for coed dorm rooms at colleges across the country. Not just coed dorms, floors or even suites. One room, two beds, a boy and a girl. As Dr. Frankenstein said just before he threw the switch, “What could possibly go wrong?” More than 30 colleges and universities, including Dartmouth, Clark, Brown, and Brandeis have coed dorm room policies. This is part of the academic Left’s commitment to social justice, the battle against heteronormative bias, and a way for...

Anonymous Tip Led Police To Arrest BELLEVUE, Ohio -- Police said an Ohio man has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a picnic table. Police arrested Arthur Price Jr. after an anonymous tipster dropped off three DVDs that reportedly showed Price in the act. According to NBC Toledo, Ohio, affiliate WNWO-TV, the videos show Price tilting the metal round picnic table on its side and then laying up against it to have sexual intercourse with the table. Afterward, he can then be seen cleaning the table and the deck. During questioning, he reportedly admitted to having sex with the...

Thousands of Oregonians a year change their names. But the case of a Bend resident who says he is legally male and five months pregnant has highlighted the much smaller numbers who legally change their sex. That option exists in Oregon, as in most states, for transsexuals who switch genders. "Oregon's law is very typical," said Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. The crux of the decades-old law is one sentence. The same court with jurisdiction over legal name changes "may order a legal change of sex and enter a judgment indicating...

MANATEE COUNTY - Prosecutors are moving ahead with a case against one of two 93-year-old men picked up during undercover prostitution stings. In the case of Frank Milio, prosecutors have issued subpoenas and plan to take him to trial in April. Milio, according to police records, tried to pay $20 in November to an undercover officer on 14th Street West. Milio recently told the Herald-Tribune he was only flirting with the woman. "I haven't had that in years," he said. "Ninety-three is kind of old." Carlos Underhill, 93, will not be charged, although he does not deny stopping to chat...

ALBANY - Gov. Paterson, who confessed to repeated infidelities last week, admitted tonight that he used cocaine and marijuana when he was in his 20s. Paterson, 53, the former lieutenant governor who succeeded disgraced Gov. Spitzer last week, claimed on NY1 that he had only used cocaine "a couple of times" when he was "22 or 23" years of age. He said he had only used marijuana "probably when I was about 20," adding, "I don't think I've touched marijuana since the late 70s."

DETROIT (AP) - Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star in American urban politics who embraced his "Hip-Hop Mayor" image as Detroit's youngest elected leader, was charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages surfaced that appear to contradict his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide.

SANDERSON, Florida — Deputies in Baker County arrested a couple caught having sex in a church. Baker County Sheriff's Deputies say they received a call about a suspicious person outside the Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church, on the night of March 11th. Deputies say they found a red Toyota pick-up truck and went inside the church. "Her drawers [were] in the stands. Her brazier was over on the outside the stands," Deacon Lonzie Altman recalled from his conversation with deputies. According to the offense report, deputies found Crystal Rowland, 24, behind the altar. Rowland was taken into custody. She told...

Hardly had the sheets cooled on the bed momentarily occupied by former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and his call girl tootsie than people took sides. Many people expressed shock and disapproval. Quite a few others claimed to be amazed that in these sexually permissive times anyone gave a hoot how New York's highest elected official conducted his private affairs (double entendre intended). One of the favorite debating points of those who expressed amazement at the American public's critical reaction was to compare American attitudes to attitudes of Europeans. It is claimed Europeans are much more broad-minded and forgiving of...

Depressed women crave 'sexual intimacy' By Bonnie Malkin Last Updated: 3:52pm GMT 21/03/2008 Depressed women have more sex than those who are happier because intercourse makes them feel secure, a study claims. Women suffering from mild to moderate depression have a third more sex, regardless of whether they are in a relationship or not, according to the survey of more than 100 Australians. They also have more sexually liberated attitudes, a bigger variety of sexual experiences and, if single, are more likely to partake in casual sex. Dr Sabura Allen, a clinical psychologist at Monash University, said: "It was more...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sexual reproduction may be nearly as old as animal life itself, according to researchers who discovered a new species of organism that lived 540 million years ago. The tube-like creatures called Funisia dorothea anchored themselves in abundant flocks onto the shallow, sandy seabed of what is now the Australian outback. Nothing appears to have evolved yet to eat them, so they lived peaceful lives, reproducing sexually at times and by asexual methods such as budding at other times, Mary Droser of the University of California Riverside and colleagues reported in the journal Science. They behaved very much...

Lawsuit: Staff Did Not Help Woman After Man Ejaculated On Her A 21-year-old Harris County woman filed a lawsuit against American Airlines Monday, alleging her trip to visit family and friends in Los Angeles last spring break turned X-rated.

JUST as Democrat Senator Lyn Allison announces a bipartisan inquiry into the "sexualisation of children in the contemporary media environment", news of a 15-year-old schoolgirl being filmed on a mobile performing a sex act on a classmate makes headlines. The footage was circulated among at least 100 other students and, understandably, family, police and the school are dismayed. Some people are using this case to push the argument for banning mobile phones from schools, discussing their misuse and how inappropriate it is to have them in an educational environment. But emphasising this aspect overlooks a much more salient point: what...

A woman was arrested in Mesa over the weekend for stabbing a man in an apparent sex-for-gas money deal gone bad. Officials from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said 33-year-old Kelli Still stabbed Michael Hamilton several times in the face and chest with scissors.  Still also suffered wounds in the attack, including a partially severed finger. When deputies arrived at the scene near University Drive and Ellsworth Road, both Still and Hamilton were covered in blood. Still was taken to Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix and charged with aggravated assault. MCSO said Hamilton called Still and told her to come to his home, promising...

Following one of the network news reports about the alarming percent of teenage girls who have Sexually Transmitted Diseases,I saw a principal of a New Jersey high school saying they were trying something new -- peers would counsel their peers. And the great thing about this, she said, was "no preaching." NO PREACHING?! It's precisely because we have almost no preaching of the Word of God in the churches and, of course, NONE in Caesar's schools,and very little in our allegedly "Christian" homes, that we have so many teenagers fornicating and getting STDs! When God's Word was widely preached in...

BAGHDAD — It was eight o’clock in the morning when Fadia (not her real name), received an unexpected visit in her home. Her children, who were still asleep, awoke to the hysterical screaming of their mom. Fadia, a recently-graduating biologist, was told by the guest that her husband had been kidnapped by militants and she had to pay 10,000 dollars to have him back home. But, he said, she had to first make a visit to someone who would like to explain which steps she had to take to save her husband's life. "I wore my abaya, washed my face...

The federal criminal investigation that has led to Eliot Spitzer's resignation as governor of New York illustrates the great dangers all Americans face from vague and open-ended sex and money-transaction statutes. Federal law, if read broadly, criminalizes virtually all sexual encounters for which something of value has been given. Federal money-laundering statutes criminalize many entirely legitimate and conventional banking transactions. Congress enacted these laws to give federal prosecutors wide discretion in deciding which "bad guys" to go after. Generally, wise and intelligent prosecutors use their discretion properly -- to target organized crime, terrorism, financial predation, exploitation of children and the...

New York’s Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) resigned in disgrace after it was discovered that he has been cavorting with high-priced prostitutes for a number of years. As NY’s Attorney General, Spitzer had been an avid prosecutor of prostitution, referring to it as a “stain on the community’s moral well-being,” and its patrons as “low-life scum.” Spitzer defended his liaisons as the notorious “Client #9,” saying that he had been engaged in “a long-term, under-cover sting operation.” “People have unfairly accused me of lust and fornication,” Spitzer said. “They don’t understand the kind of dirty work that has to be done...

So New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned because the FBI discovered he was sleeping with expensive call girls. America, predictably, went crazy. A man cheated on his wife! Quick, call all the pop psychologists and famous feminist authors, and book them for the morning talk shows! And I, a former booking agent at one of New York’s most exclusive escort agencies, just rolled my eyes. Remember that scene from Casablanca, when Captain Renault declares that he is shocked, shocked to find gambling going on — just as the croupier hands him his winnings? I keep thinking of that scene when...

Philandering politicians get the headlines in each of America’s celebrated sex scandals. Spouses and significant others – the actual wronged parties – get to stand there doing the stand-by-your-man (or woman) act, only to have their actions publicly analyzed and criticized. Some deal that is. Since soon-to-be former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s fall this week, pundits have been arguing about which of the two parties is most scandalized and most prosecuted for its involvement in America’s political sex scandals. The answer is simple: No party, or person, is perfect, or without a shady spot or two in his or...

Pterosaurs, like their dinosaur relatives, didn't wait until they were fully grown to have sex, a new study suggests. Researchers examined microscopic tree ring-like growth markings in hundreds of bones from a species of the extinct flying reptiles discovered in central Argentina in the 1990s. The Pterodaustro guiñazui bones came from multiple individuals, including an embryo inside an egg and adults with wingspans between 1 to 8 feet (0.3 to 2.5 meters). P. guiñazui lived during the mid-Cretaceous, about a hundred million years ago. "It is quite amazing that even after millions of years, the microscopic structure of the bone...

I do hereby officially call upon all whores who had sex with Eliot Spitzer to resign their Office Of Prostitute which they have disgraced by fornicating with this sleazebag. John Lofton, Editor, TheAmericanView.com JLof@aol.com

(WebMD) Certain head and neck cancers may be tied to sexual activity, marijuana use, and human papillomavirus (HPV ) type 16. That news comes from Johns Hopkins University's Maura Gillison, MD, PhD, and colleagues, who studied 240 people with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (head and neck cancers). Some of their cancers tested positive for HPV 16; others were negative for HPV 16. The patients answered questions about their lifestyle. For comparison, 322 cancer-free people answered the same lifestyle questions. Here's what the researchers learned: Head and neck cancers that were positive for HPV 16 were associated with having...
