A 27-year-old woman has been accused of  having sex with her friend’s 13-year-old son while he was staying with her when  his family was out of the country.

Amanda Wilson, from Belchertown,  Massachusetts, pleaded not guilty to four  counts of aggravated rape of a child in  court on Wednesday.

Prosecutors said some of the sexual  encounters took place at his home while his mother was at work or visiting  relatives.

Accused: Amanda Wilson confers with her attorney, Jonah Goldsmith, during an appearance in Hampshire Superior Court on Wednesday when she pleaded guilty to four counts of rape

Other alleged encounters happened in June  while the rest of the family were away.

Wilson has been barred from any contact with  the boy, and any unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 16, according  to the Boston  Herald.

She was initially ordered to be tracked by  GPS but her lawyer argued she is not a flight risk and the condition was  dropped, according to the Republican.

‘If she wanted to run, she could have by this  point,’ he said.

The teen told police Wilson had showed him  and another boy pornography on her laptop and that she threatened to kill  herself if anyone found out about the sex.

According to court documents, the 27-year-old  confessed to the rapes citing ‘daddy issues’ despite pleading not guilty on  Wednesday.

Diary entries reveal that Warren Jeffs told his followers the bed must be made of hardwood, sturdy so it wouldn’t rattle and covered with a plastic sheet to ‘protect the mattress from what will happen on it’. Prosecutors read out excerpts from the diaries on Wednesday as part of an attempt by the State of Texas to seize the multimillion dollar ranch owned by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Thailand’s Cobra Village – Where Men and Snakes Live in Harmony

Sixty years ago, a doctor from Thailand had a vision for his small, dusty old  village – to convert it into a major tourist attraction. And in an attempt to do  so, he actually convinced his fellow villagers to raise pet snakes in their  homes, putting them in shows for tourists. Surprisingly the ploy worked, and  today the village of Ban Kok Sa-Nga in Thailand’s Northeastern Province of Khon  Kaen is better known as ‘The Cobra Village’, among tourists.
Cobra-Village-Thailand-550x367

All of the 140-odd homes in Ban Kok Sa-Nga have at least one pet snake, which  they place outside in wooden boxes. The pet snakes range from deadly ones, such  as king cobras or monocled cobras, to less dangerous ones such as copperheaded  racers and pythons. The atmosphere in the village itself is always festive; it  is one big snake show theme attraction. The snakes are bred in captivity and put  together in daredevil shows such as – you won’t believe this – man vs. snake  boxing matches. Obviously not for the light-hearted, these shows involve the  handlers taunting an already enraged giant king cobra. As the snakes slither  across the stage, the men pull their tails to provoke them further. Despite all  the weird stunts that take place in these shows, what spooks out most tourists  is the level of comfort the villagers share with the snakes. Most people are  terrified of these creatures, but the people of Ban Kok Sa-Nga don’t even bat an  eye-lid. Even the children are completely at ease; they are taught how to handle  snakes, how to fight them and feed them, at a very young age.


Mother, 35, almost dies after brain fluid pours from her nose for four MONTHS…

A mother-of-three is lucky to be alive after  doctors failed to diagnose that the clear liquid streaming from her nose was a  brain fluid leak.

Aundrea Aragon, 35, made several trips to her  doctor over a four-month period but was sent home with nasal sprays after being  told it was simply allergies.

Mrs Aragon finally discovered something was  seriously wrong last month after being forced to go to the emergency room with  liquid pouring from her nose. She was diagnosed with a cerebrospinal  fluid leak from two cracks in the back of her sphenoid sinus, a potentially  fatal condition.

She had surgery at the University  of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson to correct the condition which is extremely  rare – affecting only one in 100,000 people.

The condition can be fatal due to the high  risk of infections like meningitis rather than from the loss of brain fluid  which the body constantly produces.

Mrs Aragon told ABC: ‘If I looked down or bent over, it would literally pour  out of the left side of my nose. I had no control at all.’

The 35-year-old said that she was forced to  walk around with paper towels shoved up her nose to stop the stream of liquid.  She said that she would wake up at night choking on fluid.

However she did not question the doctor’s  diagnosis because she also suffers from fibromyalgia and was too busy caring for her three  children.

Mrs Aragon has two sons Art, 16, ten-year-old  Marc and a daughter Reina, nine, who has autism.

When the nasal spray did not work on Mrs  Aragon, she went to the emergency room last month. She said doctors were shocked  by the volume of liquid that was coming out of her nose.

SILENT KILLER OR THE WINTER  SNIFFLES? WARNING SIGNS OF A CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAK

A spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak  syndrome (SCSFLS) causes the colorless and odorless substance to stream from the  nose for no apparent reason.

It is caused by a hole in the dura – tissue  surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Symptoms can include, headaches and blurry  vision, feeling dizzy, nausea, extreme tiredness and a metallic taste in the  mouth.

Tinnitus, tingling in arms and legs and  weakness of facial muscles are other signs.

The condition is rare – affecting only one in  every 100,000 people. It is most common around the age of 42 and women are twice  as susceptible.

She was referred to an ear, nose and throat  specialist who diagnosed the condition.

A cerebrospinal fluid leak is more common  in  overweight patients with high cranial  pressure or those who have  suffered head trauma from an accident.

The surgeons at Arizona Medical Center have  developed a new procedure to repair cracks which cause the brain leak by going  up the patient’s nose instead of opening their skull, which is highly risky.

Firstly, dye is injected into the patient  which shows up where exactly the cracks are by turning the colorless brain fluid  green.

A team of surgeons use an endoscopic method  to reach the sinus via the nostril and graft skin, taken from belly fat,  over the cracks.

The two-hour surgery has a 95-99 per cent  success rate and should protect Mrs Aragon for the rest of her life.

However she will be tested several times a  year to make sure she does not have another leak.

Mrs Aragon said she was grateful to the  surgeons and that the procedure did not interfere with her religion as a  Jehovah’s Witness as no blood products were used.



‘Revenge porn’ website founder launching new ‘scary as s**t’ venture, after old site shut

The ‘hated’ founder of the now-defunct  ‘revenge porn’ website, IsAnyoneUp.com, is launching a new venture.

Hunter Moore, 26, closed down the infamous  site, which featured nude photos of ex-partners submitted for comment and  mockery, in April.

The internet provocateur has announced that  his new site will open in December. Moore initially claimed on Wednesday that  his next project would also allow access to users’ addresses, ‘so you can stalk people.’

'Reviled': Hunter Moore, the founder of a 'revenge porn' website is launching a new venture. But it won't publish addresses, as he first claimed

‘Reviled’: Hunter Moore, the founder of a ‘revenge porn’  website is launching a new venture. But it won’t publish addresses, as he first  claimed

His former website published intimate images  of an ex-partner, a full name and links  to their social profiles – all without their permission.

But Moore told Betabeat on Wednesday that: ‘We’re gonna introduce the mapping stuff so you can  stalk people.’

He added: ‘I know – it’s scary as s**t. All  these people that thought they were safe: nah, it’s all gonna be  back.’

Moore claimed to be protected from any legal  claims by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, a federal law  that makes web hosts immune from compliments on third-party material.

Moore claims his new site will 'question if you will ever want to have kids'

Moore claims his new site will ‘question if you will  ever want to have kids’

Yet Moore has since changed his story and  told Salon.com that he was he was ‘so f****ing  drunk’, he didn’t really remember doing the interview, and that: ‘It was kind of  taken out of context.’

Moore went on: ‘For one, I never want anyone  to be physically hurt or stalked by any of the stuff I do on my site.

‘And the last thing I want is to have some  poor girl’s  address on the Internet when she’s showing me her t**s and then a  bunch  of guys going to her house.’

It is still unclear what Moore’s new site  will entail but the holding page claims: ‘I creating something that will  question if you will ever want to have kids.

‘I am making something very scary yet  fun.’

Moore freely admitted that he would get rich  if there was a death due to his website: ‘I dunno, honestly, if someone  f****ing got killed over my site I’d make a s**t ton of money, I’m not gonna  lie.’

IsAnyoneUp was shut down in April after it  was taken over by Bullyville.com, an anti-bullying website. Moore  sold the website for $15,000 amid claims that a hacker was going into people’s  inboxes and  posting compromising pictures of unassuming victims.

It was then reported by the Village Voice  that the FBI had been investigating Moore’s venture, which he described as a  website for ‘public humiliation.’

Moore acknowledged that he had been speaking  with the FBI, and told the Village  Voice in a May 16 interview:  ‘I have nothing to hide.’

However, he also said in the interview that  he would be ‘f***ing furious, and I will burn down the f***ing Village Voice  headquarters if you f***ing write anything saying I have an FBI  investigation.’

The weekly alt paper describes Moore as a  ‘self-made internet villain’ who was protected by Section 230 of the  Communications Decency Act of 1996.

Advice: Bullyville exists, it says, to help victims turn their lives around with the help of celebrities and experts. It took over Moore's original site in April

The legislation – landmark at the  time for  the then-burgeoning internet – provided protection for  providers and users of  ‘interactive computer service’ who publish the  information of  others.

Such a law protects the large and small alike  – including companies like Facebook – for being liable for what its users  post.

According to the Voice, the Los Angeles  Internet Crime Division had been looking  into Moore for months, specifically  Moore’s possible connection to a  hacker who broke into victims’ inboxes, then  posting compromising  pictures to the site.

The FBI launched its investigation after the  mother of one of the hacking victims spoke out, Nightline reported.

Kayla Laws, a 25-year-old aspiring actress,  claimed nude photos of her ended  up on IsAnyoneUp.com, though she said she  never sent them to anyone.

Ms Laws told Nightline the images were  damaging. ‘It ruins everything I’ve built up for myself,’ she said.

Her mother Charlotte works as a private  investigator. She told Nightline that she first sent Moore a cease-and-desist as  well as a take-down notice.

‘He basically said “screw off,” in so many  words,’ the mother said.

The hacker who allegedly goes into victims’  inboxes goes by the moniker ‘Gary Jones.’

Gawker  noted that Moore could be in plenty of trouble if the  FBI proves he was  working with ‘Gary Jones,’ as he could no longer hide behind  the  Communications Decency Act.

Moore, who is based in Los Angeles, earned up  to $20,000 each month from his site, run by a team of four, that attracted more  than 300,000 hits each day and became popular across the world.

It isn’t yet clear what Moore’s new site will  entail

It would see subscribers publishing their  ex-partner’s pictures, their full name and links to the social networking sites  – all without their permission.

They would then inevitably be ridiculed and  often forced to shut down their profiles. Initially, the site was set up to sell  merchandise and promote music club nights.

But, in a letter detailing his decision to  sell the firm, he revealed he struggled to make ends meet and turned to porn to  make money.

He wrote: ‘The bills were getting too insane  and I had to turn to the porn game for extra money but it’s too shady and, in my  opinion, it ruined the site.’

Constantly threatened with legal action by  people whose pictures appeared, he was also warned by Facebook because many of  the photographs were lifted from the site.

He reportedly ignored a cease and desist  letter from the web giant, and said he sent the social networking site’s lawyers  a picture of his genitals in reply.

The purchased domain now redirects straight  to the Bullyville site, where letters from Moore and McGibney have been posted.


‘Sex on campus is lots of fun and surprisingly easy’: Berkeley student’s controversial column

The elite University of California, Berkeley  has seen a blow to its uber-serious reputation with a controversial article from  a student boasting about her marathon campus sex sessions.

Nadia Cho’s detailed account was part of her  weekly column in The Daily Californian, Berkeley’s independent, student-run  newspaper.

Cho writes that she and an unnamed male student started their romp in Berkeley’s  library,  Main Stacks, the day before Thanksgiving, when the campus was  ‘marvellously  empty’.

Berkeley Student Nadia Cho's Twitter Profile reads: 'i like coffee, cats, and ice cream. and being the sex on tuesday columnist at the @dailycal :)'

But other students were in the library  studying while the two performed and more than one student walked by them in  mid-act, Cho writes.

She and her partner then moved into one of  Berkeley’s classrooms, as she graphically describes.

‘Sex isn’t always about c****** and having  orgasms. Sometimes it’s for s**** and giggles,’ she writes.

‘Having expectations and goals can  ruin the  fun of it. Besides, it’s probably not a good idea to ejaculate  in public places  – just saying. Keep this in mind should you ever  attempt sex on  campus.’

Not so private: The Main Stacks library at Berkeley University, where Cho says she and an unnamed male student had sex

Cho writes that her experience was inspired  by a spring 2012 column for  the paper, ‘Sex on campus: actually doable?’

Her response: ‘yes – having sex on campus is  actually very doable, and it’s lots of fun. It’s also surprisingly  easy.’

The Daily Californian has a history of  publishing controversial editorials, and in some cases issues containing brash  statements have led to newspaper theft – a form of censorship where free  newspapers are stolen in bulk to cut down on readership.

In 2002, former Berkeley mayor Tom Bates  pleaded guilty to stealing and trashing 1,000 copies of an issue of The Daily  Californian that carried an endorsement of his opponent Shirley Dean, who was  mayor at the time.

Bates beat Dean two days later and took over  office.

After Bates’ admittance a year later,  stealing free newspapers in Berkeley became punishable.

Bates paid a $100 fine for his infraction and  promised to support a local  ordinance against newspaper  theft.

The Daily Californian published its first  issue in 1871 and is one of the  oldest college newspapers in the U.S. It became  independent from UC Berkeley in 1971.

The paper, which is now published by the  Independent Berkeley Students Publishing Company, has a circulation of about  10,000 and a readership of about 42,000, according to its advertising  information.

A spokeswoman for the university said: ‘The  Daily Cal is not an official university newspaper, it is a student-run, public  newspaper and they do not have our backing.

‘We have known about that column for a long  time but there is nothing we can do about it. The students have a right to free  speech.’

Cho could not be reached about her  story.

She is reportedly planning a return to  reality television with her husband Spencer Pratt.

And Heidi Montag has found a good way to  throw herself back into the limelight.

The 26-year-old flaunted her body in a white  bikini with turquoise accents during an impromptu photo shoot on the beach on  Friday.

The former Hills star had a ball, showing off  every angle of her $30,000 surgically-enhanced figure.

Heidi paid the staggering amount to achieve  her dream body via the means of plastic surgery.

During the overcast afternoon, the platinum  blonde stretched out on a sun lounger displaying her toned abdominal muscles.

Running her hand through her flaxen locks,  she tried to do her best pin-up pose.

Heidi was also keen to show off the results  of her bottom augmentation, turning away from the camera to proudly parade her  Kardashian-esque derriere.

She later took to the shore’s water,  splashing around in the sea as she smiled for the lens.

While Heidi is reportedly planning a return  to reality television with a new project alongside husband Pratt to start  shooting in January, she said recently that she is no longer so obsessed with  being famous.

She said: ‘My priorities are my family, my  husband, my love life and my happiness and everything after that is  great.

‘But my priorities are not money, fame and  fashion. I am very grateful for everything I’ve had but I will never make those  mistakes again and I will never compromise myself and pretend to be someone that  I’m not.’

Indeed, since their time on The Hills, Heidi  and Spencer have lost more than $1 million dollars, spending the cash on  expenses such as ‘clothes, hair and makeup, managers, publicists, agents and  lawyers.’

Heidi told Access Hollywood in a recent  interview: ‘I’ve never really counted, so I’m not sure how much we lost, a lot…  over a million or so. If we would have saved our money, it would have been  better.’

However, one of Heidi’s main expenses has  been the cost of her plastic surgery – estimated to total around  $30,000.


Inside the Chinese dungeon where father secretly kept six women as ‘sex slaves’

The gruesome set up of the basement dungeon  in China where a married father secretly held six women as sex slaves has been  revealed.

Li Hao, 35, from  Henan province, was sentenced to death  last week for keeping the women in his grim tiny cellar and for his role in the  murder of two of them

The local government clerk was convicted on charges including murder, rape,  organised prostitution and illegal detention, state-run media outlet Xinhua has  reported.

A court heard how he built a dungeon in his  basement where he forced the women to work as prostitutes.

Police were quoted as saying that Li coerced  them to kill two others who had been forced to work as sex slaves alongside  them.

Three of the women he held were given  leniency for their role in the two murders.

One received three years and the two others  were put on probation, according to Xinhua.

Eventually, one of the women managed to  escape and she went to the police.

An investigation revealed that Li created the  basement in 2009 and held the women for between two to 21 months.

During their incarceration he repeatedly  raped them, forced them to have sex with other men for money and made them  perform in pornographic web shows.

Before they were tricked into going to Li’s  dungeon, the women had all worked at nightclubs and karaoke bars.

Two of the six were found dead when a  23-year-old woman who had been kept for three months escaped while being taken  out to work as a prostitute in September last year – she led police to the  basement.

A lawyer in Changsha who was following the  case said Li’s death sentence was predictable, but she could not agree with the  verdicts for the three women.

‘I was shocked when hearing of their verdicts  because they were victims in this sex-slave scandal,’ Zhang Yan told the  South China  Morning Post.

She had attempted to represent the women in  court but says she had been refused by local authorities.

She said information released by the police  indicated that all the women had suffered inconceivable mental and physical  torture.

China Central Television reported earlier  that Li had lured them back to his underground lair after offering to pay them  for sex if they went home with him. Instead he held them captive.

The court said Li was working as a clerk for  Luoyang’s technology supervision bureau when he was arrested in September last  year. He was married and had an eight-month-old son, Xinhua  reported.

Dante D.White, 49, was arrested after his  daughter, 25, was shot in the arm at their St Austin home, Chicago, on  Saturday.

White was involved in an argument with  his  daughter’s boyfriend and had ordered him to leave the family’s home, Cook County  Bond Court said yesterday.

White’s daughter was shot as she stepped in  between her father and boyfriend, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer told  the NY Daily  News.

Police were called to the address in St  Austin, located on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois, at  2pm on Saturday.

The daughter was taken to Mount Sinai  Hospital, where she was reported to be in a stable condition.

Another daughter and five of White’s  grandchildren were also at the property when the incident  occurred.

White fled the scene after the shooting but  was apprehended by police.

He then led officers to a rubbish bin where  he had thrown the .25-calibre gun following the altercation.

It was found to contain two live  rounds.

White faces charges of defacing the  gun’s  serial number and the unauthorised use of a firearm by a felon,  having  previously been convicted of possession of a controlled  substance.

Prosecutors told Judge Edward Harmening that  they expect to add further charges in the near future.

Chicago police said White is a documented  gang member.

He has been remanded in custody pending  further inquiries. His bail has been set at $200,000.

Inmates: Officers made us rub hot sauce on genitals

Prison officials in North Carolina are calling for a criminal investigation after inmates alleged correctional officers forced them to rub habanero hot sauce on their genitals, resulting in painful blisters.

N.C. Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Pamela Walker said Monday that officials had asked the State Bureau of Investigation to review conduct at Sampson Correctional Institution.

Walker said one staff member at the prison has been reassigned and another went on leave after the start of an internal investigation, the findings of which are being kept confidential. Additional personnel action could be forthcoming, she said.

“Upon review of an internal investigation, (the Division of Adult Correction) has referred the inmate allegations to the SBI for their review and any subsequent actions they deem appropriate,” Walker said. “DAC considers the allegations to be serious and the alleged actions in violation of policy, which warrants further review by management.”

In July, six inmates from Sampson sent a hand-written letter to the U.S. District Court in Greensboro complaining that staff had forced them to perform numerous humiliating acts for the entertainment of guards, including stripping nude and pretending to have sex. The medium-security facility houses about 500 male inmates in Clinton, which is about 60 miles southeast of Raleigh.

The inmates also reported being forced to gulp a super-hot “Exotic Hot Sauce” purchased off the Internet and slather it on their testicles, as well as being forced to grab and kiss wild snakes while working on a road crew and throwing captured bunnies in to oncoming traffic.

Those who performed for the guards were rewarded with preferential work assignments, food, cigarettes and beer, the inmates alleged. Both tobacco and alcohol are banned in North Carolina’s prisons.

In their letter, the inmates ask for the court’s assistance in finding lawyers to help them file a lawsuit against the state and said they feared retaliation from the staff at the prison.

In a Nov. 19 order, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joi Elizabeth Peake agreed to accept the letter as a formal federal civil rights action, but wrote that she could not accept the complaint in its present form due to several legal issues with its format and because it was filed in the incorrect judicial district. The prison’s location puts the case under the jurisdiction of the federal court in Raleigh.

It was not immediately clear if the inmates are represented by a lawyer or if their complaint will be refiled in the correct venue.

Walker said the prison system learned of the allegations through internal grievances filed by the inmates, not from the letter to the court.

The photographer, R. Umar Abbasi, snapped at least two photos of Han before he was run over by the downtown Q train. The married father-of-one sustained critical injuries and was later pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital.

One of the haunting photos Abbasi took graces the front page of the Post this morning, incurring the ire of readers who want to know why no help was extended to the injured Han in lieu of capturing the moment for posterity.

Abbasi claims that he was using his camera’s flash to warn the train’s conductor, possibly suggesting that the photos were incidental. The Post further defends Abbasi, saying he wasn’t strong enough to lift Han off the tracks.

However, the question of whether it was proper for the Post to splash such a harrowing shot of a man about to die on its cover remains for many.

“Sickening rubber-necking front page from the New York Post,” tweeted Guardian sports editor Ian Prior. “Imagine how this man’s family feels.”

“The @nypost and the employee who made the call to put the man about to die from a train on its cover are pieces of trash,” adds Howard Stern producer Lee Gerowitz. “Despicable.”

No comment from the Post on the flood of angry remarks, but, then again, one isn’t likely forthcoming considering that flipping the cover over ftitled “or relief reveals an article Belcher spent night with a gal pal before killing.”

UGA fan drunkenly gropes, licks and flashes restaurant patrons … hitting on the female officer arresting her

An intoxicated Georgia Bulldog fan allegedly wreaked havoc at two Dacula restaurants Saturday, groping, licking and flashing fellow patrons before being arrested.

Lawrence_Jana_t300A Gwinnett County police officer was called to the El Jinete restaurant on Liam Avenue at about 7:15 p.m. Saturday, about the time Georgia and Alabama’s SEC football championship game was winding down. Jana Annette Lawrence, 46, had already been kicked out of the establishment, police said, and had left quite an impression.

Managers said the woman — donning a UGA shirt, blue jeans and a bandana — had begun “yelling and using profanities” before exposing her breasts to other customers.

A female customer said Lawrence had rubbed her genital area and licked her face before flashing the bar.

By the time authorities arrived, Lawrence was already being removed from Friends, the sports bar next door.

Friends’ owner told police that Lawrence had sat down at the bar with “her butt exposed.” When she was told to leave, she allegedly “pulled her pants down further.”

A male patron said the woman “began licking the tattoo on his arm.”

Lawrence was arrested in the parking lot outside and charged with two counts of sexual battery and one count each of simple battery, public intoxication and public indecency. Jail records showed she had not posted $17,885 bond for her release as of Monday afternoon.

While being transported to the jail, Lawrence reportedly spit on the partition between herself and the officer and hit “her head against the door window.” She reportedly told the officer “she would bury me under the jail” and asked a female sheriff’s deputy at intake “if she had and wanted a girlfriend.”

Police said Lynette Lee admitted to a Clarksville detective last week the rape claim she had made earlier in the month was false. She said she had only made the claim because she did not enjoy the date.

On November 23, Lee had told police that after meeting up with a man she met online at Meetme.com, she and the man had gone back to a hotel together. According to a report, Lee said once at the hotel the man removed her clothes and, despite her protests, had sex with her.

The suspect in the case was called in by Clarksville police and told officers he and Lee had been out on a date and engaged in consensual sex.

During a second interview with police on November 27, Lee told the detective she wanted to drop the entire case because it was a lie. Police said Lee told them she had lied about the incident “because she did not enjoy it and it was bad.”

Police charged her with filing a false report. Bond was set at $2,000.


Dumbass Bank robbery suspect boasts on YouTube before her arrest

A woman accused of a Waco, Neb., bank robbery apparently made a YouTube video bragging about it before her arrest.bilde

Hannah Sabata, 19, of Stromsburg, Neb., was arrested Wednesday. She is accused of robbing the Cornerstone Bank branch in Waco on Nov. 27 after stealing a car in York. (Read more in the York News-Times.)

In the video, titled “Chick Bank Robber,” Sabata holds up handwritten signs, accompanied by subtitles, in which she says she’s having the “best day of her life” because she stole a Pontiac Grand Am and walked away with more than $6,000 when she robbed a bank. She also holds up car keys, saying, “My new car is shiny. Of course I took the plates off already.”

Then she slowly unveils a sign that says, “Then I robbed a bank with a gun, a pillow case and a note,” and holds up a bundle of cash. At one point, she fans herself with the cash.

Sabata also claims that she is a “victim of the government” because the state took custody of her baby. Court documents state that Sabata has a history of mental health problems and refused to take prescribed medication during pregnacy to protect her baby’s health.

In the video, Sabata is wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she was arrested. The outfit matches the clothes worn by the robber in surveillance footage. She also puffs on a pipe in the video and holds up a baggie of what she says is marijuana.

She says she plans to pay off student loans and “go on a shopping spree.”

York County Sheriff Dale Radcliff said a copy of the YouTube video will be turned over as evidence in the case.
