1: A former aspiring model claims that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her when she was 16 years old, in what may be the first of several expected lawsuits against the multimillionaire financier.
Maximilia Cordero, now 23, claims, in a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court, that Epstein promised to advance her modeling career in exchange for sexual favors.

Opinion
I think that it is wrong that this guy will take sex just to help girls get huge careers. That is wrong in so many ways and he should definetely be locked up if he is getting those complaints. But than again on the other hand those girls are doing it to get what they want but than they want to press charges later down the road after their career has already started. So I defend both sides but that should be locked up or many other things will be coming his way.

2: There was no Halloween bogeyman in the closet for one Brooklyn woman just a 7-foot-long python in her toilet. Nadege Brunacci was washing her hands in her bathroom before dawn Monday when she glanced back and saw the slithering serpent peeking out from her toilet, most of its body hidden in the pipes.
"I turned on the light and screamed," Brunacci, 38, told the New York Daily News. "It still makes my heart race."
Brunacci slammed down the lid, put a heavy box on top of the toilet and began calling for help, which came from her landlord and firefighters. Plumbers had to tear apart the downstairs neighbor's pipes to capture the snake, she said.

Opinion
That is so crazy that a snake found its way into someone's toilet. I mean what if the lady didn't see the snake and sat down on her toilet that snake would have totally bitten her and than there would ahev been some major problems. The city needs to figure out how the snakes can get through the pipes I mean this could be a huge problem and something should be done.

1: Jurors at the inquest into the death of Princess Diana on Thursday were shown pictures of her at the scene of a fatal car crash 10 years ago photos a lawyer said made clear the paparazzi "had no compunction" about photographing the victims.
The images were pixillated to obscure Diana's face, and Lord Justice Scott Baker, who is acting as coroner, said none of the images would be released to the public.
The inquest is examining the deaths of Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed in Paris, where the couple had been pursued by paparazzi. Photographers were among the first to reach the scene of the crash, witnesses have testified.

Opinion
I think that the people just need to stop the whole thing with Diana and leave it alone. Stop pulling up things and showing them to the public I mean at least have some respect and keep them private because I doubt someone would want their death all over the news all the time that is just wrong.

2: Amid the bars and nightclubs of Bangkok's Khao San Road, the city's main backpacker hangout, fliers advertise English-language teaching jobs available to virtually anyone capable of reading the posters.
Canadian Christopher Paul Neil, 32, is the most recent alleged pedophile accused of exploiting the region's demand for English teachers and lax hiring practices in an effort to rape children.
Though technology once kept the face and identity of Neil hidden behind a computer generated swirl, Interpol and Thai police now believe he is hiding amid Bangkok's winding streets.

Opinion
That is wrong that their are people out their applying for jobs and than jsut doing to get to the little children. I think that people need to definetely do a better job at hiring people and looking into their background information. Than if any signs show up at the littlest then they should watch closely on the people and than take caution majorly. They really need to be careful about that stuff because over there it happens a lot.
