Perry County District Judge Michael Schechterly of Pennsylvania was arrested on Monday and charged with unlawful contact with children after an investigation found that he sexually assaulted at least one young boy. Police know about at least one incident that happened with a 12-year-old boy at his home in 2012 and they believe that he may have abused other children.

The 58-year-old judge was reported to police by numerous parents in the community who had concerns about him acting inappropriately with children through a program that he ran at his church called the “Royal Rangers.”

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said that they also received numerous complaints that he touched himself inappropriately in front of children.

“Serious allegations show this judge violated the trust that the citizens of Perry County placed in him by sexually abusing a little boy. There may be other victims,” Shapiro said, according to PennLive.

“We will hold the powerful and well-connected accountable to law just like everyone else. My office will investigate and prosecute anyone who abuses their authority to harm Pennsylvanians, no matter what position of power they may hold,” he added.

Witnesses told state police Schechterly regularly took children into his district court and his home.

When police searched the judge’s chambers at his district court office, they found stains all over the room that he admitted was probably semen. He blamed what he called a “porn addiction” and said he had a habit of masturbating several times per day, even at his office.

 

When questioned, Schechterly admitted that he was sexually attracted to young boys, and admitted to sexual contact with the 12-year-old in 2012.

“Regarding stains on surfaces in the district court, he indicated those stains would likely be his semen. In the course of this conversation, Schechterly admitted that as an adolescent he was sexually attracted to boys,” court papers stated.

Schechterly was also charged with corruption of minors and indecent assault. He is currently in police custody at the Cumberland County Prison after being denied bail. He will be back in court on November 23rd.

Authorities are asking anyone with additional information about Schechterly to call Pennsylvania State Police at (717) 881-6937.

In recent weeks, multiple government agencies have been carrying out operations around the country to rescue missing children, many of whom are victims of human trafficking. On Friday, The Justice Department issued a press release announcing that they just wrapped up a five-day law enforcement operation that they called “Operation Find Our Children.”

Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen said that this is just the most recent operation of many where the US Marshals service rescued missing children.

Rosen says that this year alone the agency has rescued more than 440 children in Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, and other states.

Just last week, a massive law enforcement operation in Ohio called Operation Autumn Hope has resulted in the arrest of 179 people under suspicion of human trafficking, and the rescue of 109 victims, 45 of whom were missing children. Some victims were as young as 14 or 15 years old. The victims were referred to social services, according to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

Rapper “Lil Pump” has been doubling down on his endorsement of Donald Trump, and has threatened to leave the United States if Joe Biden is elected. As with some of the other rappers to show support for Donald Trump, such as 50 Cent, Lil Pump has expressed concerns about paying higher taxes under a Joe Biden presidency.

However, unlike 50 Cent, Pump is sticking to his guns. On Sunday night, he attended Trump’s rally in Florida, wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Then he went to Trump’s final rally for 2020 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the following night. In Michigan, Trump called the rapper on stage in front of a cheering crowd, and identified him as “one of the big superstars of the world”. He also accidentally called the artist “Lil Pimp” in his introduction, but then corrected himself.

Speaking on the stage on Monday night, he said he “appreciates” what Trump has done during his first term, saying he “brought the troops home” and is “doing the right thing” for the country.

“MAGA [Make America Great Again] 2020,” he said, adding: “Don’t forget that, and do no vote for sleepy Joe at all.” He then left the stage.

Prior to the 2016 election, many famous liberals insisted that they would be moving to Canada if Trump won the election. Very few, if any, followed through on their promise, but now Pump is threatening to move to Columbia if Trump loses the election. He was also wearing a Donald Trump hat in the video where he threatened to leave the country.

just before the 2016 US election, Lil Pump tweeted the words: “F*** Donald Trump,” but he appears to have changed his mind over the past four years.

As of 2020, Lil Pump’s net worth is estimated to be $8 million.

Lil Pump broke into the mainstream with a repetitive luxury anthem, “Gucci Gang.” The track peaked at No. 3 and has since racked up more than 800 million YouTube videos, earning multiplatinum certification from the RIAA.

Dixville Notch, a very small town in the state of New Hampshire, is the first in the country to reveal their final vote count for the 2020 election. Unlike many other voting districts across the United States, Dixville Notch only has twelve residents, and of those twelve, only five people actually voted. Surprisingly, all five of those people voted for the same candidate, Joe Biden, giving him his first small victory on election day, according to the Associated Press. This is also a rare unanimous victory, which doesn’t happen very often, even in small towns like this.

In the previous election, Dixville Notch also leaned Democrat, but the outcome was not unanimous. In 2016, four Dixville Notch residents voted for Hillary Clinton, with Trump following close behind with two votes, and a single vote for the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

According to the New York Times, this is the first time that a candidate has won the election in Dixville Notch unanimously since 1960, when Richard Nixon won all nine votes over John F. Kennedy

Early-hours voting began in Dixville Notch at midnight last night, which is a tradition that the town has kept for both primary and general elections since 1960.

Soon after the results for Dixville Notch were announced, the New Hampshire town of Millsfield revealed their results, and Trump won in a landslide, but not an entirely unanimous vote, although the population of Millsfield is a little bit larger. In Millsfield, Trump beat Biden by a margin of 16-5. Millsfield’s results for the previous election were nearly identical, with Trump winning the town with a margin of 16-4.

These early results are by no means a prediction of what is to come, things could go either way in many of the big states. In 2012, Obama had won New Hampshire by 5.6 points while Hillary had beaten Trump by a much smaller margin of 0.3 points in 2016. This small town is also an interesting example of how a majority of people in any given voting district don’t cast votes in presidential elections.
