Posted by Sandra On June - 30 - 2010 1 COMMENT

A dangerous pedophile at the center of an international child sex abuse ring has been jailed for a minimum of seven years for raping a 10-year-old boy.

Gareth Hulme, from Manchester, was given an indeterminate sentence for various sex offences, including two counts of rape against a child.

The 25-year-old attacked the boy on successive nights at a festival in Cheshire last summer, luring him away to walk his dog in woods.

Hulme, who worked as a security guard, also lurked internet chatrooms to groom other victims.

Randy Thomsen (KLAS)

LAS VEGAS (CBS/KLAS) Police arrested a Las Vegas man on child abuse charges Monday for allegedly kicking and hitting his 4-month-old son before putting him in the freezer while the mother was away, said CBS affiliate KLAS.

Randy Thomsen, 25, told police his son Alexander fell off the couch May 27, causing head injuries. According to KLAS, when the mother, Mayra Meza-Irra, took the child for medical care almost a week later, doctors determined the boy had sustained a fractured skull and broken ribs — severe injuries for a fall. Medical specialists concluded that the child suffered from four rib fractures, and possibly a fifth, inconsistent with Alexander falling off the couch.

Kyron Horman: Still Missing

Portland, OR – I really wish I was updating this story to tell you all that Kyron has been found – sadly, that isn’t the case. I do, however, want to keep this story updated and continue to keep the kiddo’s picture circulating. Though family members and investigators have remained fairly tight-lipped throughout the investigation, there have been a couple of interesting new developments in the case. Kaine Horman, Kyron’s father, has taken the couple’s 18-month-old daughter and vacated the home he shares with Terri Horman, Kyron’s step-mother.
