Woman with severe mental illness froze to death, ignored by her neighbours
A few nights ago was one of this year's relatively few extreme cold weather alerts in Toronto - when the temperature, without windchill reaches -15*C (5*F), all and any homeless or vulnerable people are offered transportation to local shelters, hospitals, or rescue centres. There is a 311 line which for the public to call if they see a person wandering/sleeping outside, as well as the usual 911 for emergencies.
Despite the incredible ease with which any person could have helped her, an elderly woman suffering from dementia cried for help, lost in her own unaccommodating neighbourhood, until she froze to death, ignored, confused, and alone.

Imam charged with raping a 12-year-old boy repeatedly in the mosque.
Warning - this story gets into descriptive detail. Fucking uncomfortable.
[...]the 12-year-old boy, who cannot be named, said he was singled out by Khan following the evening prayer on about half a dozen occasions, the first of which was in around August 2009.
"On each occasion it happened at the mosque, usually after the formal prayers in the main prayer hall ," Mr Khan said.
"The defendant would request him to lay out his red prayer mat in a different part of the mosque. That is when the remaining prayer would be completed individually and not in congregation.
"He seems to suggest that usually the defendant would take him through the door marked 'private' and into the sitting room area, and into the room with cushions on the floor used by committee members.
"On occasions, then passing through another door in the big room, the classroom, going to the corner at the back."
Mr Khan said the defendant chose different places within the mosque that were not covered by CCTV cameras, one of which was the area near the building's bins.
"He (the boy) said once it happened by the bins downstairs. That, he recalled, was the first time.
"The defendant had asked him to place a bin bag into the bins then followed him into that area."
Mr Khan said the boy described the defendant asking him before the alleged abuse 'Do you want some?' and when he replied in the negative, the defendant would say 'For God's sake, just say yes'."

Rumored child rapist shot in the fucking head.
An investigator from the Major Investigation Taskforce (MIT) said the man, who was identified as 42-year-old Winston Pennington, was found with a single gunshot wound to the head on Bustamante Highway at about 11:40 pm.
The police said Pennington was shot at point-blank range, and that a spent shell and a 9mm round were taken from beside his body.
"He was also called 'Black John', and so far our investigations suggest that he may have been killed because he reportedly molested youths in the community," the investigator, who declined to be named, told the Sunday Observer.

A Mexican band stopped playing, so their audience killed two of their members.
After having lobbed a grenade in the bar.
After members of the band La Excelencia in Guadalajara, Mexico refused to play more songs after closing time, irate members of the audience killed two members of the band and detonated a grenade inside the bar, Vida Divina, according to Mexican newspaper El Occidental.
A 26-year-old woman attending the concert was also shot and injured.
According to El Occidental, four drunk men aggressively demanded the band play more after their set ended - and they did - for a while. After they stopped around 4 a.m. local time Monday morning, one of the men threw a grenade at the stage, and people ran out of the bar. As they did, two of the band members were shot.
The victims were identified as Jonathan Jimenez, 22, the leader of the band, and Gustavo Alejandro, 35. Others were also injured in the explosion.
The shooters fled, and investigators said there is little information to go on because no one saw the vehicle that they used to leave.

‘I was raped by you. You forced sex upon me,’ the victim was forced to tell Harris.
[...]
‘I was pushed up against the window and you were having sex with me from behind me,’ she said.
Harris’ tactics earned him a series of rebukes from Judge Chet Tharpe.
‘I will not allow you to stand at the podium and read the deposition, page by page, until you can figure out what your next question is,’ he said.

A group of UK Anglicans defect to Catholicism to continue hating gays, women
It is unclear where the new congregations will worship. The seven priests - from the parishes of Chelmsford, Hockley, Benfleet and Billericay, in Essex, Leytonstone, in London, and two from Walthamstow, also in London, will go through training before they are ordained as deacons in May and then as Catholic priests in June.
The Ordinariate was established for Anglicans who wished to join the Roman Catholic Church while retaining aspects of their heritage. The Vatican-approved scheme offers an alternative to opponents of women bishops, gay clergy and same-sex blessings.
