An autistic teen from Massachusetts who refused to attend public school for eight months suffered a panic attack after a judge ordered her to return to class. Samantha Frechon, 14, was taken from East Middle School in Braintree to a local hospital on Tuesday. It was only her second day at the public school. She enrolled earlier this week at the behest of Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Catherine Ham. This transition marked Samantha's first time attending a non-specialized institution since she was eight years old. After the teen, who has multiple disabilities, was hospitalized, Ham released a modified order that will no longer require her to attend the public middle school. She previously attended Fusion Academy, a $90,000-per-year private school, with the public school district refusing to foot the bill. Despite excelling academically and socially at Fusion Academy, the district decided not to reenroll her for her eighth-grade year, launching an all-out dispute between administrators and the teen's mother.

The high-powered people thought to be complicit in the multi-state brothel scheme have maintained that they are anonymous. Several alleged sex-buyers have pleaded guilty to anonymity ahead of the child trafficking trial. A total of six high-end brothels have been reported in Boston and Washington, D.C., and were established by a foreign country as an espionage 'honeytrap,' federal investigators stated. However, media representatives have demanded that the identities be released.

The federal investigators investigating whether the effected women were part of a Korean spy sting are looking into whether they were aware of a luxurious L.A. brothel that catered to corporate titans, military officials, and politicians are investigating whether the trafficked people were part of a Korean spy program. Three suspect pimps, including an L.A. man, had retuned to South Korea, according to an affidavit submitted by an investigator with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations' Human Smuggling and Trafficking Unit. According to the affidavit, the criminals involved raised "an alarming amount" of money in the brothel industry, much of which can be traced back to a bank in South Korea.

The network of brothels operating in the Greater Boston and Washington D.C. areas was determined to ensnade politicians, senior government officials, and defense contractors to support a foreign country. But whether the country was Russia, China, Korea's capital, or even Israel, is another question that has yet to be answered - at least not publicly. Washington, D.C., maintains a favourable environment for spies at the country's political capital. Two of the brothels operated in luxury apartment buildings in the Virginia suburbs outside the capital, which are all about a 15-minute drive from the White House, Congress, Pentagon, and CIA. A haven for defense contractors alike, Boston, where the other four brothels operated. It's also home to top-tier universities, like Harvard and MIT, that educate government and military officials, as well as Pentagon and CIA reports.

28 individuals were charged with paying for sex from the brothel ring by a federal task force. They will all be summoned to Cambridge District Court for hearings. The 28 people are thought to be made up of elected officials, government contractors with security clearances, and military officers. Han Lee, 41, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, James Lee, 68, of Torrance, California, and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Dedham, Massachusetts, were among the three defendants charged with the criminal investigation. The trio was charged with plotting to coerce and compel travel to engage in unlawful sexual conduct.

This is the bizarre moment when celebrity drag actor The Vivienne was punched in the chest in a McDonald's as part of a violent homophobic attack. Alan Whitfield confessed beating James Lee Williams, who performs as drag queen The Vivienne, but denied that it was homophobic. The 51-year-old argued he had been banned from participating in RuPaul's Drag Race UK series one winner because he looked like an Oompa Loompa from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. On Friday, Liverpool Magistrates' Court found the assault to have been fueled by homophobia. Mr Williams said during the trial that he had been exposed to a "barrage of abuse" from Whitfield after entering the McDonald's on Edge Lane in Liverpool on June 16.

Stephen Hovanic, 64, of Sharpsburg, Georgia, entered the room with the woman, took his sunglasses off the girl, and asked her if they could'do a half hour,' before police officers came barging through the door. In the joint sting with the Department of Homeland Security's Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation unit, a video shared by the Coweta County sheriff's office revealed the moment Hovanic was arrested in the motel on November 15. Hovanic was charged with pandering, which is misdemeanor solicitation of sex. He was on assignment at the Department of Defense Education for more than two decades and was in charge of schools – educating the children of US military servicemen and women – on bases around the world.

Prosecutors in Boston and northern Virginia charged three individuals with operating a high-end brothel network earlier this month. Thousands of elected officials, software, pharmaceutical, consultants, researchers, and military officers were among the clients, but federal prosecutors did not identify any of them. In an affidavit filed to the District of Massachusetts' United States District Court, new information regarding the escort service was released. The information contained pictures of meticulous customer records with names and dates, exposing thousands of professionals in high-end industries for charging upwards of $600 per hour for sexual encounters with predominately Asian women.
