Sean 'Diddy' Combs sexually assaulted 10-year-old boy after drugging him during 'audition,' shocking new lawsuit claims



Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005, according to a new lawsuit.

The California boy allegedly was interested in becoming an actor and/or rapper, according to Variety.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The lawsuit says the boy's parents hired a music industry consultant who recommended that the family travel from Los Angeles, where they lived, to New York to meet with music industry figures. The consultant allegedly arranged for the boy to have an "audition" with Combs, who reportedly requested to meet with the child alone before meeting his family.

The consultant brought the boy to Combs’ hotel room and left him alone with him, according to the lawsuit.

The boy reportedly performed a few rap songs for Combs, who allegedly told the 10-year-old he could “make him a star” and asked him how badly he wanted it.

According to the lawsuit, the “plaintiff responded, as might any 10-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything.'”

While in the hotel room, someone presented the boy with a soda. Shortly after drinking the soda, the alleged victim said he reportedly began to feel “a little funny.” The plaintiff’s attorney claimed the drink was spiked with drugs “including but not limited to GHB and/or ecstasy.”

Combs allegedly instructed the child to move closer to him and pushed him down, then told him something to the effect of “you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes.” The complaint alleged that Combs exposed his penis and told the boy to “kiss it.”

According to the complaint, the boy refused Diddy's sexual advances, but Combs forced the minor to perform oral sex on him. Soon after, the 10-year-old reportedly lost consciousness.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The 10-year-old allegedly told Diddy that he wanted to see his parents, and the Bad Boy Records founder reportedly threatened to hurt the child's parents if he said anything to anyone.

Once the consultant returned, she allegedly noticed the boy was “badly shaken.” The child's parents said their son appeared “lethargic and acting differently" after the "audition."

The lawsuit noted that since the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim suffered from “severe depression and anxiety, which leaves him hopeless and fatigued.”

Second lawsuit involves 17-year-old alleged victim

A second new lawsuit accused Combs of sexually assaulting an aspiring 17-year-old male music performer during a 2008 audition for Combs' "Making the Band" TV show, in which Combs determines the fate of entertainment hopefuls.

During the first interview with the alleged victim — which was one-on-one with Combs — the lawsuit states that "Combs asked plaintiff hypothetical questions about handling situations involving sexual pressure.”

“As Combs described these scenarios, he began to sexually assault plaintiff by touching plaintiff both over and under his clothing, including groping and fondling his penis and instructing plaintiff to undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

The alleged victim claimed Combs threatened that he had the ability to “make or break” his career.

At the second audition, the hip-hop producer reportedly told the teen to undress in order “to demonstrate the ability to embody a ‘sex idol’ persona.”

“This encounter eventually escalated into Combs forcing the plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, and Combs sodomizing the plaintiff,” the lawsuit claims.

At the third and final audition, Combs and his bodyguard reportedly sexually assaulted the teenager.

According to the suit, the contestant was eliminated from the reality TV competition “as Combs claimed that plaintiff was untrustworthy due to his reservations about performing oral sex on his bodyguard.”

The new lawsuits against Combs were filed in the Supreme Court of the state of New York on Monday. They are the latest lawsuits against Combs from attorney Tony Buzbee, who said he's representing more than 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing the music mogul of sex crimes over the course of more than two decades. Buzbee said the youngest victim was only 9 years old when Combs allegedly sexually assaulted him.

Combs' attorneys did not address the specific allegations in the two new lawsuits but told CNN their client never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone.

“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false,” Combs’ attorneys said in a statement. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”

As Blaze News reported earlier this month, a lawsuit accused Combs and another male celebrity of raping a 13-year-old girl as a female star watched the alleged sex crime.

In September, Combs was arrested and hit with charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

Federal prosecutors outlined sex acts known as “freak offs” during which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously said, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Combs, 54, is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

He is facing at least 27 civil cases, and his criminal trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

Just days after her sudden resignation, mayor of small Louisiana city charged with raping juvenile



Just days after declaring her sudden resignation, a Louisiana mayor has been charged with raping a juvenile.

Misty Dawn Clanton Roberts, 42 — now-former mayor of the City of DeRidder — was arrested Thursday, booked into the Beauregard Parish Detention Center at 10:13 a.m., and released 77 minutes later on a $75,000 bond, according to the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office jail roster.

'My client maintains her innocence and, as it stands, she is in fact innocent.'

Roberts was hit with charges of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, the Louisiana State Police said in a news release.

Roberts became the first female mayor of DeRidder — a city with a population of approximately 10,000 located about 20 miles east of the Louisiana-Texas border — in 2018. She was serving her second term after winning re-election in 2022. Newsweek reported that Roberts is an independent.

On July 26, Roberts said she was stepping away from the office for two days and had appointed DeRidder Fire Chief Ken Harlow as mayor pro tempore. The next day, Roberts resigned, according to KPLC-TV.

"For nearly 15 years, my love and passion for DeRidder has been my foundation while serving as Mayor," Roberts wrote in a letter of resignation to the city council.

"This role has rewarded me with many great relationships," Roberts continued. "I am humbled to have witnessed the hard work that took a community to come together and overcome through unprecedented times. However, I must adjust my focus and priorities."

Also on July 26, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office requested the Louisiana State Police Special Victim’s Unit to investigate a complaint regarding allegations of sexual relations between a juvenile and Roberts.

Investigators conducted interviews with two minors regarding the child sexual abuse allegations. One of the minors interviewed was the alleged victim. Both minors told police that the alleged victim had sexual intercourse with Roberts when she was the mayor of DeRidder.

Law enforcement obtained an arrest warrant for Roberts from the Beauregard Parish 36th Judicial District Court.

Adam Johnson, Roberts' attorney, declared that his client is innocent.

"My client learned late last night of a warrant, despite not being contacted to be interviewed prior to investigators obtaining the warrant," Johnson said in a statement, as reported by WAFB-TV. "My client maintains her innocence and, as it stands, she is in fact innocent."

Johnson added, "And we trust the public will respect her constitutional presumption of innocence which is fundamental to our system of justice. Misty and her family are very grateful for the support they have received from their friends and neighbors and we look forward to putting this unfortunate situation behind them."

Roberts' information page on the City of DeRidder website has been scrubbed. An archived version of the page states that Roberts is a past board member and supporting member of the Greater Beauregard Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Hope Village board of directors, an Agape Community Clinic trustee, a Beauregard Prevention Coalition board member, a board member of the DeRidder Rotary Club, and a member of the Fort Polk Progress board of directors.

The Lagniappe local news outlet said in a May article that "it’s been a rough few years for her. She’s had to navigate two hurricanes, a freeze, fires, a divorce, and loss." The DeRidder archived page states that Roberts got married in 2008.

Roberts said of her divorce, "Contrary to what some were saying, there was nothing salacious that led to it. It was a personal decision and going through that publicly has changed me. I’m far from a feminist, but through this experience, I’ve learned there are a group of people who expect women to be perfect — to look and act a certain way."

Illegal alien with prior deportation accused of raping child in Utah



An illegal alien with at least one prior deportation from the United States has now been accused of raping a child in Utah.

The nature of those charges is unclear, but they resulted in an immigration detainer. Fewer than two weeks later, an immigration judge ordered him deported.

Around 3 p.m. on July 4, Francisco Lopez-Ramirez, a 42-year-old Mexican national living in the U.S. illegally, was arrested in Provo, Utah. Though almost no details have been reported regarding the allegations against him or the circumstances regarding his arrest, Utah County jail records confirm not only that Lopez-Ramirez was arrested but that he was charged with raping a child and with unlawful sexual activity with a minor believed to be 16 or 17 years old.

Jail records also indicate that ICE has since issued an immigration detainer against him, rendering him "not bailable." Blaze News reached out to Enforcement and Removal Operations at the ICE field office in Salt Lake City to learn further details about the suspect.

ERO informed us that Lopez-Ramirez has at least one prior arrest from more than a decade ago that resulted in a deportation. On January 31, 2010, he was "discovered living in Utah" after he was arrested for "local charges," an ERO spokesperson told Blaze News.

The nature of those charges is unclear, but they did result in an immigration detainer. Fewer than two weeks later, an immigration judge ordered Lopez-Ramirez deported back to Mexico, the ERO spokesperson told Blaze News.

At some point since, Lopez-Ramirez must have re-entered the country illegally "without inspection by an immigration official," as ERO has no record of when or where he may have entered. Once ICE officials learned about his arrest for alleged child rape in Provo on July 4, they issued an immigration detainer for him the same day.

It is unclear when Lopez-Ramirez is next scheduled to appear in court. Jail records note only that he is 5'2", weighs 130 pounds, and has brown hair and eyes. No booking photo was provided.

Tennessee's law enabling state to execute convicted child rapists now in effect — despite Democrat opposition



Tennessee has joined Florida in enabling trial judges and juries to put child rapists six feet under.

State House Majority Leader William Lamberth introduced House Bill 1663 in January. Republicans managed to pass the legislation in both chambers despite Democratic opposition.

State Rep. Aftyn Behn (Nashville), one of the bill's Democratic critics, insisted that the "death penalty is incompatible with the right to life." Behn, a pro-abortion advocate, suggested further that "it violates the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment and guarantees of due process of law and equal protection under the law."

Behn also suggested that that victims might be less likely to report crimes if they knew their abusers would be sentenced to death.

Lamberth responded to Behn, saying, "Directly from a survivor: 'My sister and I were abused by my father from a very young age. I just want you to know that I appreciate you pushing for the death penalty. I don't think it will stop people from telling about their abuse.' ... She's lived it. I trust her."

Florida Republicans faced similar opposition from leftists over their child-rapist death penalty law.

The leftist blog TruthOut denounced the legislation, suggesting the law was the result of an "anti-LGBTQ" legislative campaign and claiming further that the death penalty is "one of the most explicitly lethal manifestations of institutional racism and oppression." TheBody, an HIV resource blog, also suggested the legislation could be dangerous for LGBT people. Seattle Gay News expressed concern that the legislation could set the stage for the execution of persons who subject children to "gender-affirming" genital mutilations as well as those deemed to be "child groomers."

After Tennessee Republicans overcame the opposition of Behn and other Democrats, Gov. Bill Lee (R) ratified the legislation on May 9.

'If someone rapes one of our children, they forfeit their own life.'

Previously, an adult pedophile convicted of rape of a child aged 8-13 in the state would be looking at serving between 15-60 years in prison for a Class A felony. An adult pedophile convicted of aggravated rape of a child 8 or younger would necessarily receive life imprisonment without parole.

Now, in the first case of child rape, the sentence must necessarily be death, imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, or life imprisonment. In the second case of aggravated child rape, the sentence must be death or imprisonment for life without parole.

If a jury cannot agree on a punishment, then the trial judge is to default to a sentence of life without parole for a child rapist.

The law also states that defendants with intellectual disabilities cannot be sentenced to death.

Ahead of his bill's passage, Lamberth noted, "We're going to protect our children in the state of Tennessee. If someone rapes one of our children, they forfeit their own life," reported the Tennessean.

"Life in prison for these evil people is simply too good," added Lamberth.

While the law went into effect Monday, it remains in a kind of limbo on account of Gov. Lee's moratorium on executions. In May 2022, Lee learned the state had not properly checked lethal drugs for bacterial contamination and called for an independent review. That said, Lee indicated the penalty remains on the table on a case-to-case basis.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Kennedy v. Louisiana that the Eighth Amendment prohibits states from executing child rapists in cases where the crime did not result and was not intended to result in the death of the child. Justices Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, and the late Antonin Scalia dissented.

Justice Alito, who wrote the dissenting opinion, noted, "The Court today holds that the Eighth Amendment categorically prohibits the imposition of the death penalty for the crime of raping a child. This is so, according to the Court, no matter how young the child, no matter how many times the child is raped, no matter how many children the perpetrator rapes, no matter how sadistic the crime, no matter how much physical or psychological trauma is inflicted, and no matter how heinous the perpetrator’s prior criminal record may be."

Justice Alito stressed that the two reasons offered by the liberal majority on the court for this conclusion — that that there was a "national consensus" that the death penalty is not an acceptable punishment for child rape and that such a penalty is inconsistent with the "evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society" — were "unsound."

After poking holes in the majority's opinion, Alito underscored that the Eighth Amendment is not a "one-way ratchet that prohibits legislatures from adopting new capital punishment statutes to meet new problems" and that "child rapists exhibit the epitome of moral depravity," inflicting "grievous injury on victims and on society in general."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who ratified House Bill 1297 last year imposing the death penalty for pedophiles who commit sexual battery against children under 12, made expressly clear that he is prepared to take the law "all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule judicial precedents which have unjustly shielded child rapists from the death penalty and denied victims and their loved ones the opportunity to pursue ultimate justice against these most heinous criminals."

Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson (R) also expressed confidence in April that the high court would rule in favor of the child-rapist execution bill he supported.

"Given the makeup of the current court, there is a strong possibility that Kennedy v. Louisiana could be overturned," wrote Johnson. "I feel very certain that the Supreme Court believes there is a strong, compelling state interest to protect children, and we believe this Court will support Tennessee's efforts."

Man out on low bail after allegedly raping young stepdaughter has now murdered her, killed himself: Report



A Massachusetts man out on low bail after allegedly repeatedly raping his young stepdaughter has now apparently killed her and himself, police say.

On September 7, 2021, a young girl called police to report that her stepfather, Juliano Santana, had raped her on "multiple occasions," said a press release from Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, perhaps over the course of several years. The most recent assault had reportedly occurred just one month earlier.

'Why was he out?' one outraged resident demanded to know. 'Why was he out?'

The victim told investigators that Santana had warned her "not to be scared and not to tell her mom." Investigators also examined a diary in which the victim reportedly documented the attacks and shared them with her sister.

The same day that the girl lodged the accusations, officers arrested Santana, and prosecutors charged him with six counts of aggravated rape of a child. Despite the quick movement from law enforcement and the heinous accusations against Santana, the district court in Malden, Massachusetts, about five miles north of Boston, issued him bail of just $30,000, which Santana quickly paid.

As conditions of his release, the court ordered Santana to wear an ankle monitor and to have no contact with his stepdaughter. He was also forbidden to have unsupervised contact with anyone under age 18.

The girl's mother, Olena Wilson, immediately secured a restraining order against Santana on behalf of her daughter and herself. "I also fear for my safety because I [realized] that I do not know this man and based on this situation I do not know what he is capable of," Wilson wrote at the time.

Santana was originally scheduled to stand trial about a year later, but the case was issued one delay after another. Finally, it had been rescheduled for July 29, 2024. Unfortunately, neither the defendant nor the victim lived to see it.

Around 4 p.m. last Thursday, police in Acton, Massachusetts, received an alarming report that Santana, 49, had kidnapped his stepdaughter as she was walking home from school. Because of the ankle tether, his probation officer soon pinpointed Santana's location in the parking lot outside his condo.

When cops arrived at the scene, they quickly located Santana's vehicle. Inside, they found Santana and the girl both dead from apparent gunshot wounds to the head. The girl was just 16 years old at the time of her death, which means she was 12 or 13 the last time Santana allegedly raped her.

"Why was he out?" one outraged resident demanded to know. "Why was he out?"

The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, members of the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit, and Acton Police are continuing to investigate, the DA's press release said.

Blaze News investigates: Adult high school senior in Ohio attended class, track events even after he was charged with raping 9-year-old



Residents of Hudson, Ohio, about a half-hour southeast of Cleveland, are demanding answers after a local high school student was permitted to attend school and compete in track events for months even after he was charged with raping a 9-year-old child.

According to the indictment seen by Blaze News before the case was sealed, last December, Jeremiah Earl Stoehr allegedly lured a 9-year-old child — who is a boy, as indicated by the pronouns used in the indictment — "for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity." Stoehr then allegedly raped the boy. Stoehr is believed to have been an 18-year-old adult at the time of the alleged assault.

Stoehr had apparently been going to class and participating in track practices and meets — wearing an ankle bracelet — while students and parents remained in the dark about the charges against him.

In February, Stoehr was arrested and subsequently indicted by a grand jury on five felony counts: first-degree rape, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, third-degree gross sexual imposition, and fifth-degree disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

Despite the seriousness of those charges, Stoehr was assessed a $25,000 bond, and he paid 10% of it to ensure his release from custody. He was then ordered to wear a GPS tracking device, abide by a curfew, and have no contact with the "prosecuting witness" or the witness' "family members," according to the arraignment document seen by Blaze News before the case was sealed.

Still, neither Judge Alison Breaux nor the Hudson City School District prevented Stoehr from continuing to attend school and most extracurricular activities as normal, so long as he had "maximum pretrial supervision" as well. In fact, according to documents seen by Blaze News before the case was sealed, the court granted curfew extensions so that Stoehr could attend multiple functions that are not related to education, including a track banquet, prom, and an after-prom event.

Whether he attended the prom-related activities is unclear. However, until the last couple of weeks, Stoehr had apparently been going to class and participating in track practices and meets — wearing an ankle bracelet — while students and parents remained in the dark about the charges against him.

On Monday, the district acknowledged via email that "one of [its] high school students" was the subject of criminal investigation. By Thursday, this student — ostensibly Stoehr — had "voluntarily" decided to refrain from attending all "activities pertaining to Hudson High School for the rest of the school year," including classes and graduation, according to a follow-up email from Superintendent Dana Addis seen by Blaze News.

Addis added in the email that the district "is extremely limited in what information" it can share with parents. He also noted that "the alleged incident did not occur on district property and did not involve another Hudson City School District student."

Blaze News spoke with several parents with children in the district, and many reiterated that Stoehr has not been convicted of these crimes and is therefore entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence. Still, they likewise expressed relief that Stoehr agreed to steer clear of campus for the time being and frustration that the district was not more forthright about the accusations until recently.

"The Hudson Schools have not communicated well with regard to the current situation, where an alleged child rapist has been attending school, running track, and living the same student life as everyone else. I don't begrudge him that, if he's not been convicted of anything. But I do think the school system could have communicated better about the issue," said George Carson, whose son attends Hudson High School.

In a recent Substack article about the case, Jeff Charles, a self-described "political commentator and satirist" who also writes for RedState, likewise stated that "members of the community feel" that the recent communication from the district "is too little, too late."

The school "seems more worried about its reputation than the safety of its students," one parent told Charles. "It’s all about rankings and appearances rather than real proactive measures to safeguard its students."

On Thursday afternoon, the judge approved a motion to remove all materials about the case from the website of the Summit County clerk of courts and to "seal the docket until the conclusion of the trial in this matter," according to a court document reviewed by Blaze News. Defense counsel Maxwell Hiltner made the request out of concern for the "privacy and safety of all parties involved." Prosecutors raised no objection to removing the materials and sealing the case, the document said.

Brian LoPrinzi, chief of the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office Criminal Division, told Blaze News: "Per the Ohio rules of professional conduct, the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office cannot comment publicly on open cases or investigations."

Hiltner, the attorney representing Stoehr, gave Jeff Charles the following statement: "Jeremiah has pleaded not guilty to all charges, he maintains his innocence, and in this country he's presumed to be innocent. As such, both he and his family are asking for privacy at this time."

Hiltner told Blaze News: "My client is adamant that he didn't do any of those things, or commit any of these offenses."

Rapist who impregnated 14-year-old girl to lose his testicles as part of his sentence



A Louisiana man who admitted to raping a girl when she was a young teenager has opted to undergo surgical castration as part of his sentence.

The case began in July 2022, when a young woman went to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office to make a disturbing report about Glenn Sullivan Sr. of Springfield, Louisiana, about 40 miles east of Baton Rouge. According to the young woman, Sullivan "had raped her multiple times when she was just 14-years-old," said a Facebook post from the office of District Attorney Scott M. Perrilloux.

The girl had become pregnant as a result of the attacks. A DNA test of her child later confirmed that Sullivan is the father.

An investigation into the case also revealed that Sullivan, who is now 54 years old, first groomed the girl into the assaults. He then threatened her and her family with violence to keep them quiet about them, the DA's office said.

Last week, Sullivan pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.

Louisiana law takes the rape of a minor very seriously and imposes harsh penalties on those convicted of it. In some cases, convicted rapists in Louisiana can even be ordered to undergo chemical or surgical castration as part of their sentence.

Judge William Dykes must have believed that Sullivan's case warranted castration, as he issued the order for it. However, the method of castration was left up to Sullivan. As part of his plea agreement, Sullivan chose surgery.

"I want to say I've had three people ordered to be chemically castrated, but, to my knowledge, this is the first physical castration to be ordered," said assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio.

Exactly when Sullivan will undergo the procedure is unclear. The state Department of Corrections usually oversees the chemical and surgical castration of prisoners. A DOC spokesperson declined to comment except to say that surgical castrations are "very rare."

Cascio claimed that the surgery to remove Sullivan's testicles could occur as late as the "week prior to his release." As he has also been sentenced to 50 years behind bars, Sullivan's scrotum could remain intact for another half-century.

Whether the surgery happens now or later, Cascio, Perrilloux, and others in the district attorney's office are grateful that a dangerous predator like Sullivan will never be able to harm another child. Perrilloux also expressed admiration for the courageous young woman who demanded justice for the sexual abuse against her.

"So many of these types of cases go unreported because of fear," he said. "The strength it must have taken for this young woman to tell the truth in the face of threats and adversity is truly incredible."

Long Island volleyball coach accused of raping girl, 15, commits suicide by train hours after appearing in court: Police



A New York high school volleyball coach accused of raping a 15-year-old girl committed suicide by train hours after making his first appearance in court for the alleged child sex crimes, according to police.

Jason Maser, 22, had been a volleyball coach at Sacred Heart Academy — an all-girls Catholic school in Hempstead, New York. Maser was also a coach at B&B Volleyball — a club team based in Long Island.

Maser's alleged victim played on both teams.

Maser was fired from Sacred Heart Academy and B&B Volleyball after the rape allegations.

According to the New York Daily News, B&B Volleyball informed parents it had learned of an "inappropriate sexual relationship between an adult who coached for B&B Volleyball and one of our players."

Sacred Heart officials said they contacted authorities “immediately” after finding out about the accusations.

Special Victims Squad officers arrested Maser at his home in Syosset on Thursday. He was charged with two counts of third-degree rape and two counts of criminal sex act in addition to endangering the welfare of a child, according to the criminal complaint.

Police accused Maser of raping a 15-year-old girl at least twice inside his Jeep in Albertson on Feb. 7 and March 7, according to the complaint.

The former part-time coach at Sacred Heart Academy made his first court appearance regarding the allegations on Friday afternoon in Hempstead.

Maser pleaded not guilty to the charges. He posted $75,000 bail and was released.

Judge Marie F. McCormack ordered Maser to stay away from the alleged victim.

Maser reportedly killed himself hours after appearing in court.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority told 1010 WINS that Maser "intentionally" stepped in front of Long Island Rail Road train #1573 at the Woodbury Road crossing in Syosset around 10:35 p.m. on Friday.

MTA police said Maser was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Nassau County Police Department identified the body as Maser.

MTA Police Department spokesperson Michael Cortez said Maser left a suicide note before allegedly committing suicide by train.

Maser’s lawyer, John Carman, said Maser's family is devastated by the sudden death.

Carman told Newsday over the weekend, "While they process what has occurred, they are concerned for the young woman involved."

Joy Reid: LGBT Kids ‘Feel Seen’ By Books About Child Rape

Fresh off expressing hatred for the skin color of most Iowans, the MSNBC host openly defends taxpayer funding for stories about child rape.

Ian Watkins, former Lostprophets singer and pedophile convicted of attempted rape of a baby, stabbed in prison: Reports



The former singer of the Welsh rock band Lostprophets, Ian Watkins, was stabbed in prison, according to multiple reports. Watkins is in prison serving time for numerous pedophilia-related offenses, including attempting to rape a baby.

Watkins, 46, was reportedly held hostage by three fellow prisoners for several hours and was stabbed at His Majesty's Prison in Wakefield, United Kingdom.

According to The Mirror, "The prison had to wait until a 'Tornado Crew' could be assembled - specialist officers trained in hostage situations. The three prisoners kept Watkins hostage for almost six hours – it is believed the attack took place on B wing where 70 percent of the prisoners are serving life and 20 percent serving 10 years or more. So serious were his injuries it is understood that he received emergency treatment from paramedics in an ambulance on the prison estate."

The outlet said Watkins was hospitalized and "seriously ill" after being "locked in his cell and stabbed by other prisoners in Wakefield prison."

Sky News is reporting, "The pedophile sustained injuries which are not life-threatening following an incident at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire."

A spokesperson for U.K.'s prison system said, "Police are investigating an incident which took place on Saturday at HMP Wakefield. We are unable to comment further while the police investigate."

Watkins was arrested in September 2012 for child sex crime charges, which police accused him of committing "organized pedophile." The alt-metal band frontman was put in prison in December 2013.

Rolling Stone reported, "Watkins is currently 10 years into a 29-year prison sentence for a litany of heinous sex offenses, including the rape of a child who was under the age of 13, conspiracy to rape a one-year-old baby girl, and possession of child pornography. (During trial, it was revealed that the password to encrypted files on Watkins’ computer was 'I FUK KIDZ.')"

In 2019, Watkins was sentenced to 10 additional months in jail after a cell phone was found in his possession in prison. Watkins claimed that fellow prisoners ordered him to hold on to the mobile phone. However, Watkins reportedly refused to name the prisoners who gave him the cell phone because the singer said he was locked up with "murderers, mass murderers, rapists, pedophiles, serial killers – the worst of the worst."

Watkins founded Lostprophets in 1997, and the band broke up in 2013 when he was sentenced to prison.
