Former deputy head of Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s school admits to 22 child sex abuse charges

A senior teacher at a primary school that taught Prince George and Princess Charlotte has admitted paying thousands of pounds to Indian teenagers in exchange for sexually explicit pictures of children.

Matthew Smith, 34, of East Dulwich in London, today pleaded guilty to a further 18 counts of child molestation, including paying more than £65,000 to coerce teenagers in India into child abuse.

The former deputy headmaster at Thomas Preparatory School on Battersea High Street, south-west London, has been sacked from the £20,000 preparatory school, which taught Prince George and Princess Charlotte, after allegations first surfaced last November.

The Oxford University graduate previously worked in orphanages and NGOs across India from 2007 to 2014 before taking a position as deputy principal at a UK school in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, from 2017 to July 2022.

Smith has now pleaded guilty to a total of 22 charges after investigators raided his home in London last November and found he had asked a teenager in India to send him sexual images of a younger child, police said.

The teacher had also opened dark web sites and forums dedicated to child sexual abuse on his computer, the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) said.

Investigators then analyzed chat logs and bank transactions and found that Smith had paid the same teenager and another teenager, also living in India, a total of £65,398 to molest children over a five-year period.

Before working at the school in Nepal, Smith worked for various periods in orphanages and NGOs across India between 2007 and 2014.

He then returned to the UK last July and began working at Thomas’s Prep in September, where he was Deputy Headmaster and Head of Chaplaincy, before being dismissed from the school two months later when charged by police.

Chat logs showed Smith ordering the young men to perform sexual acts on boys and sending them pictures and videos of examples of such acts that he would like to see reenacted.

The prep school teacher also gave one of the teenagers advice on how to befriend and build trust with children in an attempt to abuse them, police said.

The possibility of his crimes was first discovered when Smith was working in India, but there is no evidence he abused children living in Nepal or the UK, the NCA said.

During a raid on Smith’s home in south-east London, officers found over 120,000 indecent pictures of children stored on his laptop, an SD card and his phone.

Prosecutors charged him with a total of 22 criminal offenses, including encouraging the rape of a child under the age of 13, inciting sexual activity with a child under the age of 13 and organizing the sexual abuse of a child.

He pleaded guilty to 17 counts at Southwark Crown Court today, having previously admitted five counts at a hearing in November.

Matthew Smith previously worked as Deputy Headmaster at Prince George and Princess Charlotte's £20,000 Thomas Preparatory School in Battersea, south-west London (pictured).

Helen Dore, senior officer at the National Crime Agency, said: “Matthew Smith was a high-risk individual and we acted quickly to locate, arrest and remanage him so he could no longer pose a danger to children.”

“Ultimately, we were able to prove that he was a prolific abuser who manipulated young men into sexually abusing children on his behalf by providing them with detailed instructions and receiving a financial reward.”

“While he was committing his offence, Smith was working in a school in Nepal and then became Deputy Headmaster and Head of Chaplaincy in the UK. So his crime is a deep betrayal of the trust placed in him.”

None of the offenses are related to his work at the £20,000-a-year Thomas Primary School, which was attended by Prince George and Princess Charlotte until the end of their final year.

Both royal children have since moved to Lambrook School, near Ascot in Berkshire, and had already left by the time Smith started work in September.

Claire Brinton, a special prosecutor in the CPS’s Organized Child Sexual Abuse Unit, called Smith’s crimes “particularly disturbing” given that he was an elementary school teacher.

Speaking after today’s hearing, she said: “Matthew Smith’s crimes are particularly worrying given that as a primary school teacher he is responsible for the care and protection of children.”

“Thousands of images and videos were recovered from his devices showing a chilling catalog of child sexual abuse.”

“Smith offered payment to individuals for indecent pictures to satisfy his own sexual desires, leading to horrific abuse of young children in India.”

“This conviction sends a clear signal that the CPS, in collaboration with the NCA and international partners, will work to bring those who sexually abuse and exploit children to justice, wherever that abuse occurs.”

Before joining Thomas, Smith was Assistant Principal at the British School in Kathmandu, Nepal for five years.

He also taught at St Paul’s School in London, which charges a fee of £44,000 a year, and has degrees from Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

A Thomas School spokesman said: “We are shocked and appalled beyond measure by this matter and are grateful for the work being done by the police and courts to hold this man accountable.”

“Mr Smith’s employment at the school, which began in September 2022, was terminated immediately when the school first learned of the allegations against him in November.”

“While the National Crime Agency has confirmed that none of the matters investigated involve the school or its students, these regrettable actions represent an unforgivable breach of trust and our thoughts are with those who have been affected or harmed.”

“As always, we remain committed to the safety and well-being of our students and our entire school community.”

Smith will be sentenced in the same court next month.

Iran says 10 dead after drinking tainted alcohol at party – AOL

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Ten people died after drinking homemade liquor made from methanol at a party, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday, as the number of such deaths in the Islamic Republic mounts.

Dozens of people were reportedly hospitalized last week after drinking the poisoned alcohol at a party in Alborz province, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of the capital Tehran, IRNA news agency reported.

In addition to the fatalities, more than 140 partygoers have also fallen ill, including four who are in critical condition, officials said.

Since 1979, when Iran banned the manufacture and consumption of alcoholic beverages, methanol has been commonly added to home-brewed beverages as a cheaper alternative to ethanol, the alcohol that can be consumed. Drinking alcohol is punishable by a fine and flogging.

The 40 Iranian alcohol factories switched their production to pharmaceuticals and disinfectants.

Abbas Masjedi, head of the country’s forensic medicine agency, said 644 people died from drinking contaminated alcohol in 2022, 30% more than in 2021, quoted by IRNA.

Consumption of methanol causes delayed organ and brain damage. Symptoms include chest pain, nausea, hyperventilation, blindness, and even coma.

From time to time, Iran reports similar incidents involving the consumption of alcohol, which is usually provided by bootleggers. A scientific study found that between September and October 2018 alone in Iran, 768 people contracted methanol poisoning and 76 died.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Iranian media reported that hundreds of people had been killed and sickened by ingesting methanol as fake cures claiming that drinking hard alcohol was a possibility circulated on social media to kill the virus.

FedEx’s guide disappoints the public. The stock has gone down. – Barrons

FedEx reported better-than-expected quarterly results Tuesday night and said the company expects the current fiscal year to be better than the one just reported, but investors don’t seem happy.

FedEx (ticker: FDX) reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.94 on revenue of $21.9 billion for the fourth fiscal quarter. Wall Street was projecting earnings per share of $4.85 on sales of $22.5 billion. The overall report looks good despite the slight drop in sales.

“The strong conclusion to the fiscal year demonstrates the significant progress made by the FedEx team in advancing our global transformation while adapting to the dynamic demand environment,” said CEO Raj Subramaniam in a press release. “FedEx is becoming a more flexible, efficient and data-driven company.”

A dynamic demand environment is a euphemism for recession. Daily parcel volume in the express business fell by 10% year-on-year. Average daily freight transport in pounds fell 14% year over year.

Things are looking a little better for the coming financial year. FedEx expects to make between $16.50 and $18.50 per share, compared to nearly $15 per share in fiscal 2023. Still, Wall Street was looking for around $18.30 per share.

The shortfall burdens the stock. FedEx stock fell about 3% in after-hours trading shortly after the earnings release. Shares fell 0.8% in regular trading on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively.

FedEx had a high hurdle to overcome with investors. In the earnings report, shares are up almost 50% since Sept. 16, the day after FedEx warned of a slowing economy and a challenging cost environment.

FedEx stock fell 21% in response to September’s warning. Results have been better in the last two quarterly reports.

The current report’s message on the rest of the economy is mixed. FedEx expects sales to grow but also believes “business conditions remain uncertain.” With the S&P 500 up about 16% since September’s FedEx alert, that may not be as good as investors were hoping for, either.

FedEx has responded to the tougher economic times by cutting costs and seeking productivity gains. The company launched an overhaul called DRIVE at the end of calendar year 2022. The program includes the consolidation of its express and ground networks, which will reduce costs in part by eliminating overlaps between routes. DRIVE is targeting approximately $4 billion in profit margin improvements to be realized by the end of fiscal 2025.

DRIVE has produced some results. Operating profit for the full year was $6.2 billion, up from $5.4 billion in fiscal 2022. FedEx attributes $1.8 billion of profits to DRIVE, while all other factors led to a $1 billion profit headwind.

The Company has scheduled a conference call at 5:00 pm Eastern Time to discuss the results.

Donald Trump already has a scheduled hearing date on the classified documents New York

MIAMI — Aileen Cannon, the chief justice in the criminal case against former US President Donald Trump over classified documents found at his Florida home, Tuesday ordered the jury trial to begin August 14 at Fort Pierce, 129 miles from Miami away, to take place.

In an order signed today, the judge indicates that the deadline for the hearing is two weeks from August 14 and that if the hearing is delayed for any reason, it will take place “as soon” as possible.

The deadline for the defense and prosecution to submit motions related to the case is July 24. A hearing will take place on August 8th, in which all questions regarding dates will be clarified.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is in charge of the investigation, promised that the trial of Trump and his assistant Waltine Nauta, who was accused of aiding and abetting, would be “expeditious” and “consistent with the public interest and the rights of the defendants”. .

Trump was indicted in a Miami court on June 13 on 37 federal felonies for misappropriating official documents following his departure from the presidency of the United States (20017-2021).

Of the 37 charges of which Trump has pleaded not guilty, 31 relate to knowingly withholding US defense documents, but he also faces allegations of obstruction of justice and “corrupt” withholding of documents or records.

Some of these crimes are punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Trump is the first president or former president in US history to be criminally indicted by the federal judiciary.

Judge Cannon, who is of Colombian and Cuban descent and was appointed by Trump, has her court in Fort Pierce, so the trial will take place in that city in Palm Beach County, the same city where Trump is legally resident.

The resolution issued this Tuesday is aimed at preparing the trial for the defense and the prosecution and sets deadlines for all previous trials.

Joseph Malone, a constitutional lawyer, spoke with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro about the federal indictments against former President Donald Trump.

Among the things the judge highlights in the document is the ban on “backstriking” with the jury, a legal term with no translation into Spanish that means either party can back out of accepting or rejecting a juror at their discretion, before doing so they swear such.

This Monday, another judge on Trump’s case, Bruce E. Reinhart, barred the former president’s attorneys from sharing evidence on the allegations against him with anyone outside of the defense.

In his order, Reinhart pointed out that both Trump and the public, media and social networks are included in the order and therefore cannot keep this information, whether originals or copies of documents.

Defendants are given access to evidence only “under the direct supervision of defense counsel or a defense counsel associate. The defendants will not keep copies of the material,” the ruling said.

The judge, agreeing to a motion filed by prosecutors last Friday, said that “any unclassified discovery made by the United States” is subject to this protective order.

It stressed that this evidence should only be used by the defendants and the defense and “in connection with the defense of this case and for no other purpose”.

Adele told Sylvester Stallone ‘no deal’ buying Los Angeles mansion without ‘Rocky’ statue

Check out what’s happening on FoxBusiness.com

Adele was willing to give up buying Sylvester Stallone’s Los Angeles mansion if it didn’t include an iconic piece of decor.

Stallone told the Wall Street Journal that when he sold his home last year, he planned to bring back the “Rocky” statue that towers over his Los Angeles pool. Adele reportedly bought the Stallone home, but the statue had to be included in the sale.

“It’s not a deal. It’s going to blow the whole deal,” Stallone recalled as Adele said.

Stallone stopped by and gave Adele his Rocky Balboa statue. “I like what she’s doing, she’s doing great,” he added.

The “Rocky” franchise became a household name after the debut of the first film in 1976. “Rocky” won three Oscars and Stallone received a nomination for Best Actor in a Film. In 2016, Stallone was nominated for Best Supporting Actor after reprising his role as Rocky Balboa in the spin-off Creed.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, Adele bought the home for $58 million. The home – located in a celebrity enclave in Beverly Hills – reportedly has eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

The great reporter Georges Malbrunot aired a video where we see “Iranian women without veils or coats” in a cafe in Tehran. Which has since been closed by the authorities.

Question asked by Mel on June 19, 2023:

“The strong image of my report in Iran.” In a May 30 tweetThe great Figaro reporter Georges Malbrunot released video of a scene that would have been “unimaginable” a year ago: “Iranian women without veils or coats in a bar in Tehran. The women won. But her victory is fragile. The waitress has another scarf. Religious police order.”

Problem: The faces of several unveiled women are clearly visible in the images, although wearing the veil is still mandatory in the country. This immediately raised concerns from several netizens: “You have to erase and blur faces, and do it fast. Otherwise, what all these people will suffer is your responsibility.” challenges him for example a Twitter user.

For his part, the journalist assures that “the video was made in consultation with the bar owner, who gave me his permission.” And do you know that these girls are no longer hiding from the cameras lying in the street. That’s the novelty we perceive when we’re there. Hence the indispensable specialty of journalism.” Contacted by CheckNews, Georges Malbrunot also claims to have taken a “second precaution” by asking for advice
