A man who routinely boasted about being the first open drag queen to be elected to a school board in the United States was arrested last week for disturbing sex crimes involving children as young as 18 months. Travis J. Longo, 46, who is the vice president of the Cazenovia Central School District’s board of education in New York state, was initially charged over a “pattern” of sending explicit communications to a child under 12 years old. Once authorities seized and searched Longo’s phone, child pornography was discovered. #wth

#Mystikal’s son #MillionTyler sat down with TMZ’s Charlie Neff to speak publicly about the emotional toll of his father’s 20 year prison sentence following Mystikal’s guilty plea to r*pe charges. Tyler said he feels for both his father and the victim equally, telling the interviewer “nobody wins from these situations. It’s hard for both parties if we’re being honest.” When asked if he thought the 20 year sentence was fair, Tyler deferred to the court system, saying he wouldn’t place judgment on the outcome. Tyler was present in the courtroom when the victim testified that Mystikal choked her, pulled her braids out, punched her, and forcibly raped her. In a stunning moment, after hearing that testimony, Mystikal himself told the court “If I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence.” Tyler described the experience as overwhelming. “It’s a lot to deal with, a lot to compartmentalize in my mind. It creates a huge array of different emotions,” he shared, adding that he disagrees with many of his father’s decisions and is focused on building his own path as an artist. Despite everything, Tyler hasn’t fully closed the door on their relationship, saying he plans to eventually sit down and have a conversation with his father. His final message to Mystikal was simple but emotional: “I hope you get the help you need.” His voice broke as the words came out. #hiphop #music

Here's why 50 Cent thinks Ashanti should do basement parties.😩 Ashanti found herself trending after reports surfaced that only 24 tickets were sold for her scheduled appearance at Stony Brook University's Back To Brook event. Ashanti later blamed the disappointing turnout on poor promotion. But before the story could die down, 50 Cent saw an opportunity to troll. The rapper jumped online and joked about the low ticket sales, writing, "Ashanti show canceled after only 24 tickets sold. Wait a minute, I thought I told everybody not to fool with this fool. I want the names and socials of everybody who bought a ticket now." And he wasn't finished. 50 later joked that Ashanti might need to stop booking large venues and start performing in house basements so the crowd still feels packed. The comments quickly went viral, and when TMZ later asked Ashanti whether she considers 50 Cent a bully, the singer didn't hesitate to agree. Now social media is divided. Some people say 50 is simply doing what he's always done — trolling celebrities and turning everything into a joke. Others believe there's a difference between joking around and publicly humiliating someone who's already dealing with a professional setback. What do y'all think — is 50 Cent being funny, or is Ashanti right to call him a bully? #50cent

Nicholas LoCicero is a former law enforcement officer who worked for both the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office. He was terminated by Livingston Parish in 2022 for performance-related issues. He was then hired by East Baton Rouge before being fired in 2024 after authorities received the rape allegations that triggered this investigation. ‎ ‎A Livingston Parish grand jury has now indicted him on twelve felony charges: five counts of first-degree r*pe of a child under 13, one count of sexual battery of a child under 13, three counts of indecent behaviour with juveniles and three counts of molestation of a juvenile. The case involves two female victims, with most of the charges relating to the younger child. ‎ ‎A judge ordered him held without bond following the indictment. ‎ ‎Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said crimes against children are among the most serious prosecuted by her office. ‎ ‎He wore a badge in two separate parishes. The children he is accused of abusing had every reason to believe adults in authority were there to protect them. ‎ ‎#TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Justice #Louisiana #ChildSafety
