As previously reported by The Pillar, the Diocese of Chiclayo has been accused of mishandling allegations made by Ana Maria Quispe and two other women, who say they were abused by Fr Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzáles. Allegations were also made against Fr Ricardo Yesquen. It has since emerged that the other two alleged victims are Ana Maria Quispe’s younger sisters, Aura Teresa and Juana Mercedes. In a new statement, the alleged victims claim that Prevost failed in 2022 to open an investigation into the accusations of sexual abuse dating back to 2007. They say that any documentation that may have been sent to Rome was purposely designed to look inadequate so as to prevent action on the case. » https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/cardinal-prevost-never-investigated » https://www.bishop-accountability.org/2024/09/cardinal-prevost-never-investigated-abuse-claims-alleged-victims-say/ - - - - - - - - N-E-E-D- -H-E-L-P-?- - - - -🌍 - - - - - - Human Trafficking Hotline Numbers: https://www.abolishion.org/human_trafficking_hotline_numbers Human Trafficking Help and Resources: https://trafficking.help/us/#countries Child Helpline Network: https://www.childhelplineinternational.org/child-helplines/child-helpline-network/ List of emergency telephone numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emergency_telephone_numbers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Europol tipline Tel.:  +31 70 302 5000 | https://www.europol.europa.eu/report-a-crime US-NCMEC Urgent victim help  24-Hour Hotline:  1-800-843-5678 Global hotlines: https://www.inhope.org/EN#hotlineReferral Contact Interpol:  https://www.interpol.int/Contacts/Contact-INTERPOL https://www.interpol.int/What-you-can-do/If-you-need-help - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - @ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING

Traffickers are targeting young IT professionals with fraudulent job offers abroad, luring them with promises of high-paying positions in countries like Thailand. Investigations reveal that victims are often taken to transit countries, such as Dubai, under the guise of job interviews before being forcibly transported to Myanmar, where they are coerced into working in cyber scam operations under severe conditions, including physical abuse and torture. To protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation, the task force urges the public to seek safe and legal migration options and remain vigilant.

The Senate inquiry on so-called Philippine offshore gaming operators has established ties between these gambling operations and foreign criminal groups, Senator Risa Hontiveros told foreign correspondents. “We have seen numerous and deep links to transnational crime syndicates,” she said. She noted how two people of Chinese origins convicted in Singapore’s S$3 billion (US$2.3 billion) money-laundering case were identified in the Senate’s investigation for possible involvement in Philippine gambling operations. The online casinos could also be linked to spying, and money from the industry could have been used in Philippine local elections, she added. https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3279282/philippines-says-china-centric-pogos-deeply-linked-global-crime-rings - - - -N-E-E-D- -H-E-L-P-?- - - - - JOB SCAMS: - - - - - - - - - China: Mninistry of Public Security (MPS), 14 Dong Chang an Street, Beijing 100741.

It was drawn up by the Supreme Court, which justified in detail its previous verdict that the condition for stepfathers was illegal. The mild sentence for the man aroused a strong reaction from the lay and professional public, the Minister of Justice Pavel Blažek (ODS) appealed to the Supreme Court with a successful complaint. It took approximately two years. A man from Vyškovsko raped his partner's minor daughter up to five times a week. Because of this, the girl tried to commit suicide, ended up in a psychiatric hospital, and even had to have an abortion. However, the judge of the Regional Court in Brno, Miroslav Novák, imposed only a suspended sentence on the stepfather, which provoked public opposition. The Supreme Court has now literally ripped apart the verdict. However, the Supreme Court cannot "speak" to the verdict imposed on the stepfather by the regional court. Only the Constitutional Court, where the whole case is headed, can change the sentence. A girl named Anička, who had been raped for a long time, filed a complaint against the verdict. It is not yet clear when he will rule on the case. » https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/soudce-nezakonne-narknul-znasilnenou-divku-ze-si-za-dva-roky/r~ecf8790c74fc11efa065ac1f6b220ee8 » https://www.blesk.cz/clanek/regiony-brno-brno-krimi/795237/drsna-slova-nejvyssiho-soudu-po-znasilnovani-divky-soudce-zlocin-otcima-zlehcoval.html - - - -N-E-E-D- -H-E-L-P-?- - -CzechoSlovakia:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Urgent: police 158 or city police 156/CZ 159/SK| non-urgent: 112 Internet: www.mvcr.cz, www.minv.sk National Human Trafficking Helpline: telefonický kontakt: 0800 800 818 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - @ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING

The six defendants held high-ranking positions of influence within the United Nation of Islam, which a federal judge deemed a “cult.” They pleaded not guilty but were convicted Monday in federal district court in Kansas City.

The investigation into their allegations was originally wound down in 2021 but was reopened after a Sky News investigation revealed evidence the police seemed to have overlooked. After submitting the investigation to be reviewed by an independent body, Humberside Police promised to put fresh eyes on the case. That was two years ago but in a meeting last month, Anna and Sarah were told that officers were only just starting. https://news.sky.com/story/hull-grooming-gang-alleged-female-victims-complain-after-police-officers-diverted-to-deal-with-summer-riots-13216416 - - - -N-E-E-D- -H-E-L-P-?- - -U.K.:- - - - - - - - Urgent: 999 | non-urgent: 101 https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/modern-slavery:  0800 808 3733 (24/7) https://www.modernslaveryhelpline.org/helplines: 08000 121700 (24/7) Childline: 0800 1111  |   https://www.nspcc.org.uk/ Scotland Police: https://www.scotland.police.uk/contact-us/ or Crimestoppers: 0800 555 111 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - @ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING

Al Fayed, who died at 94 in August last year, has been accused of dozens of sex attacks by at least 20 women who worked at the luxury shop in Knightsbridge, west London. Lawyers claim Harrods organised and hid her trafficking and that of other women, which included HIV tests and gynaecological exams by doctors. ‘Young women were recruited, supposedly to work in “executive positions”, and were then transferred to various places and countries where they claim to have been subjected to depraved and prolonged sexual exploitation and abuse,’ Mr Meeran said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13870943/Hundreds-sex-abuse-victims-Mohamed-Al-Fayed-lawyers-Harrods-use-store-sex-trafficking.html ▫️'Mohamed Al-Fayed was a monster': Harrods tycoon's 'vast web of abuse' laid bare as lawyers liken 'horrific' rape allegations to Jimmy Savile and Jeffrey Epstein scandals Lawyers representing the former Harrods employees who claim they were raped and sexually assaulted by late billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed have described him as 'a monster' as they laid bare today his 'vast web of abuse'. It comes as multiple women came forward to claim the late Egyptian businessman sexually abused them in the Knightsbridge store and at his luxury properties in the UK and on foreign trips abroad. So horrific was the alleged abuse suffered at the hands of Al-Fayed, lawyers representing his victims have compared him to sexual predators Jimmy Savile and Jeffrey Epstein. Five women have said they were raped by the Harrods tycoon, who died last year aged 94, and a further 20 female employees allege he sexually assaulted them. But lawyers today warned the true extent of Al-Fayed's alleged offending could go further, 'with victims all over the world' - with investigations now taking place into other businesses owned by Al-Fayed, such as Fulham Football Club. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13872851/Mohamed-Al-Fayed-monster-Tycoons-vast-web-abuse-laid-bare-lawyers-Harrods-accused-abject-failure-responsibility-emerges-accusers-needed-psychiatric-care-rape-sex-abuse.html ▫️Now Fulham FC and Paris Ritz are probed in Harrods sex scandal over fears Mohamed Al-Fayed could have abused more women Fulham FC and the Paris Ritz are now being probed for victims of Mohamed Al-Fayed's 'predatory behaviour' - as lawyers warned the investigation into the suspected sex fiend would likely go global. Five women have claimed they were raped by the Harrods tycoon, who died last year aged 94, and a further 20 female employees allege Al-Fayed sexually assaulted them. 'Monster' Al-Fayed allegedly forced some of his victims to take sexual health tests and left them 'petrified' while attempting to abuse them - with Harrods now standing accused of covering up the rape claims levelled against Al-Fayed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13873641/harrods-questions-mohamed-al-fayed-ritz-fulham-focus.html @ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING
