19-10-14 Police officer admits handing over abuse victim's details to her ex:
An Australian police officer who "laughed" as he handed over the details of a domestic violence victim to her abusive partner has avoided jail. Neil Punchard accessed the police database to give the woman's address to her ex-partner, a childhood friend of the senior constable, five years ago. He then sent a text message saying: "Just tell her you know where she lives and leave it at that. Lol."
...
Punchard, then 47, went on to say he should use his name as a "get-out-of-jail-free card" if any complaints were made.
Punchard, then 47, went on to say he should use his name as a "get-out-of-jail-free card" if any complaints were made.
...
The woman made an initial complaint to the Queensland Police Service three years ago, but no charges were brought. She then turned to the media to publicise her story in her quest for justice.
Punchard was eventually charged late last year after the Crime and Corruption Commission overturned the previous decisions. He stepped down from official duty with Queensland police, but reportedly still worked for the service on a limited basis.
On Monday, he pleaded guilty to nine counts of computer hacking. A judge [presumably, male] at the magistrates court in Brisbane sentenced him to two months in prison, suspended.

19-10-16 Dark web child abuse: Hundreds arrested across 38 countries:
More than 300people 337 suspected users across 38 countries have been arrested following the take-down of one of the world's "largest dark web child porn marketplaces". The site had more than 200,000 videos which had collectively been downloaded more than a million times. ... Prosecutors said the site had offered videos of sex acts involving children, infants and toddlers – and specifically asked users not to upload videos featuring adults-only pornography. It was shut down last year after a UK investigation into a child sex offender uncovered its existence. US officials unsealed nine indictments against the site's owner Jong Woo Son, 23, from South Korea – where he is currently in prison.
The UK's National Crime Agency said arrests had been made in the UK, Ireland, America, South Korea, Germany, Spain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Czech Republic and Canada - among others.

"Many of us [across the planet] have wondered, with good reason, whether ourapparently evidently anemic system of checks and balances could be completely upended by the willingness of key witnesses to comply with the UNpresident’s orders to obstruct Congress. In fact, the notion that the UNpresident is above the law, or even worse, that the UNpresident’s word is itself a law-above-the-law, seems to be the operative one among Trump Nationalist-in-Chief partisans in the Office of Legal Counsel and the Congress. What may be less obvious is the connection between this vision of presidential power and toxic masculinity."

Nusrat Jahan Rafi, 19, was set on fire on April 6 after she and her family refused to withdraw sexual harassment charges against the principal of the Islamic school she attended.

The principal of the seminary, Siraj Ud Doula, against whom Rafi filed the criminal harassment complaint, was among the people sentenced to death by the special court in Feni, about 100 miles southeast of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka. Police said Doula ordered the murder from prison, where he was being held after his arrest on Rafi's complaint.
Two politicians of the ruling Awami League, Ruhul Amin and Maksud Alam, were also among those sentenced to death. The others were two teachers and 11 students — two of them female — at the Islamic school, or madrasa.

But he will not spend any time behind bars; instead he was given three years in "rehabilitation" - a sentence Chinese media called "the harshest punishment within the current legal system for a minor"."

"The strength of social media anger and calls for legislation amendment have been fuelled by reports of gangs recruiting minors to exploit China's criminal law, as well as a number of prominent, similar cases in recent years.
In March, a 13-year-old boy in eastern Jiangsu province was arrested after he hacked his mother to death with a cleaver over a dispute. China Daily says that he was not held criminally responsible.
Similarly, in December 2018, a 12-year-old boy from central Hunan province confessed to stabbing his mother to death after she had used physical force to discipline him. News website Sixth Tone reported that because prosecutors were unable to charge him with a crime, "he was released and sent back to school within days of the murder".
In the recent case in Dalian, local police told The Beijing News that the boy would spend the next three years in enforced rehabilitation, arguing that it was "the harshest punishment within the current legal system for a minor".
The official Xinhua News Agency said the case had prompted lawmakers at national level to discuss the possibility of amending the laws on protecting minors, and lowering the age of criminal responsibility. Draft revisions to those laws were reviewed at the bimonthly session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee on Saturday.
