Boy Charged For Sex With Dummy
November 29, 2005, 9:14:35
That's Bizarre: A teenager could be registered as a sex offender - after trying to get intimate with a mannequin.
The 18-year-old was caught with his trousers and underwear around his ankles, rolling on the floor with the dummy from a display at an arts centre.
Security guards who caught the youngster in the act admitted they had often found the mannequin with its clothes off.Police spokesman Loren McManus said: "There was inappropriate activity between him and the mannequin.
"That's the only way I know how to put it."
The boy has been charged with indecent exposure.
Robber wrapped up too well
A robber almost bungled a hold-up when he wrapped up his face so tightly that his victim couldn't tell what he wanted.
The man walked in to the newsagents in Cologne, Germany, and mumbled something at cashier Michaela Sobor.
But the 24-year-old said she couldn't understand a word he was saying and asked him to repeat himself.
"I didn't realise it was a robbery, I just thought he had wrapped himself up warm because of the cold weather," she said.
She added it was only when he pushed his way behind the counter and pointed a gun at her that she realised what he wanted.
The man was able to make off with over £1,000 in cash. Police are now asking for witnesses to come forward to help in their investigation.
Old prostitutes find work in rural Australia
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Prostitutes as old as 70 continue to work in rural Australia, pushed out of the cities due to strong competition from younger and more attractive sex workers, the author of a study said on Tuesday.
Brothels are legal across most of Australia, but states have strict laws against soliciting and running brothels in residential areas, and near churches or schools.
The research, by John Scott of the University of New England, examined prostitution in rural areas of New South Wales state. He found the sex industry has flourished in rural towns, with many prostitutes making regular visits.
"I've likened some of them to traveling musicians, in that some of them might be based in metropolitan centers and they go out and travel -- they tour the bush," Scott told Reuters.
He said a sex worker might pass through a country town every couple of months, but would advertise in advance and book up appointments. He said sex workers in rural areas tended to be older, and provide more companionship than city sex workers.
"In a business that is based on looks and age a lot of the time, it became increasingly hard for workers as they progressed in age," Scott said.
"If they had been in the business for 20 or 30 years, as a couple were, they found themselves increasingly working further away from the metropolitan centers."
Scott examined ads in rural newspapers and talked to sex workers for his study. He said the oldest sex worker he spoke to was 58 years old, but those interviewed reported working with older women in their 60s and one as old as 70.
Scott said rural clients tended to be more polite, and be interested in company as well as sex.
"A lot of the time these blokes just want a bit of a cuddle, or to talk," he said.
Parents sought after vodka-fed infant dies

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Authorities are searching for the parents of a 3-month-old girl who died last year after her parents allegedly gave her lethal doses of vodka to quiet her crying, police said.Makeisha Dantus died in 2004 but her parents were not charged until last month. By that time, they had disappeared.The couple, Mackenson Dantus and Mardala Derival, are wanted on charges of aggravated manslaughter. Authorities said they believed the couple, both Haitian immigrants, were still in Florida
Detective Katherine Collins said Tuesday that the delay in charging the couple stemmed in part from their lack of cooperation."The last thing you're expecting is for a child to die of alcohol poisoning at age 3 months," she said. "A homicide case is very delicate, and they take time, unfortunately."Makeisha's father called 911 on Feb. 14, 2004, because the baby was unresponsive, Collins said. The baby died at the scene.According to a police report, the parents told officers that for about a month they had fed their daughter a bottle filled with a mixture of water, sugar and vodka to help her sleep.Small quantities of alcohol have historically been used to quiet crying babies, but authorities said the amount fed to Makeisha was extreme.The Broward County Medical Examiner's Office determined that the infant had a blood alcohol level of 0.47 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Florida is 0.08 percent.Former Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Ronald Wright said that for a baby to ingest that much alcohol would be the equivalent of a 160-pound adult drinking 18 beers.According to a police report, the final autopsy showed that the child had been fed fatal doses of alcohol shortly before her death and her liver indicated severe buildup of excess fat due to alcohol consumption.
Hunter shot himself while cleaning rifle
An Austrian hunter shot himself in the chest while trying to shake snow out of his rifle.
Hans Biedermeier, 27, was holding his rifle up to shake snow out of the barrel when it went off.
Luckily for Biedermeier, from Bad Vigaun, he was hunting with a friend who was able to get help.
He was taken to the nearest hospital, where doctors say he is in a stable condition.
