Five college students from Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts, appeared in court Thursday, accused of luring a man to their campus through a dating app and attacking him in what police say was an attempt to stage a "Catch a Predator" scenario popularized on TikTok. The students, Kelsy Brainard, 18; Easton Randall, 19; Kevin Carroll, 18; Isabella Trudeau, 18; and Joaquin Smith, 18, were arraigned on charges of conspiracy and kidnapping. A sixth defendant, a juvenile, is facing separate charges. All five defendants entered not-guilty pleas, and they are scheduled to return to court for a pre-trial conference on March 28. Police say that the victim, a 22-year-old active-duty military service member, was visiting Worcester in October to attend his grandmother's funeral. According to the police report, he was seeking company and turned to Tinder, where he matched with a woman whose profile identified her as 18. She invited him to campus, where she greeted him and led him into a basement lounge. There, a group of students emerged, accusing him of being a pedophile and wanting sex with underage girls. "The group started calling me a pedophile, and I just didn't know what was going on," the victim later told police. "Before I knew it, they were chasing me to my car." The victim managed to break free, but he was chased by the group and assaulted. "I was punched in the head, and my car door was slammed on me as I tried to get away," he said. Surveillance footage from the campus shows the students filming the incident with their phones, laughing and high-fiving, while they continued to accuse him of being a predator. Randall later told police that the group had been inspired by the “Catch a Predator” trend on TikTok. The group had used the dating app to lure the man to campus, then spread word through their dormitory chat group, claiming they had caught a predator on campus. After the incident, Brainard falsely reported to police that the man was a sexual predator, claiming that he had arrived uninvited and that she had texted a friend to chase him away. Surveillance footage from the campus, however, contradicted her account. "There was no evidence that he was seeking sexual relations with underage girls," the police report stated. “The whole thing was staged.” Brainard, who faces an additional charge of witness intimidation, was also accused of trying to silence others involved in the incident. A male student involved in the assault faces an additional charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The group is due back in court for further proceedings. After the court appearance, attorneys for the defendants remained firm in their defense. Christopher Todd, Brainard's lawyer, stated, “We're just looking forward to having the process play out.” Robert Iacovelli, the lawyer for Trudeau, filed a motion seeking dismissal of the charges against her, claiming there was no probable cause for the allegations. The students were ordered not to have any contact with the victim as they await their next court date in March. The case has drawn attention due to the disturbing trend of internet-driven stunts and the serious criminal charges the students now face. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Father Deacon Christopher Todd '12, Ukrainian Catholic Deacon and Christendom Alumnus, gave a lecture on "Eastern Catholic Churches: St. John Paul II and the Legacy of Vatican II" on February 5, 2024.
Small, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) drones — classified as Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) by the FAA — are proving to be an increasing threat to the homeland. As evidenced by Hamas terrorist strikes against Israel, tactical use in the Ukrainian conflict, and even UAS operations by Mexican cartels along the U.S. Southern border, small drones have demonstrated the ability to compromise security and inflict significant damage upon specific targets. The U.S. has the most expensive aviation security sector in the world. Still, it is primarily focused on manned passenger traffic, resulting in gaping vulnerabilities among U.S. critical infrastructure, mass gatherings, and other high-value targets. Presently, only a handful of Federal agencies have the authority to detect and mitigate UAS, leaving State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners without adequate protection from above. The website mentioned in the podcast as a place to go for more information is: https://cuashub.com/ In this episode of the Disaster Zone podcast, we are joined by Christopher Todd, CEM, and executive director of the non-profit DRONERESPONDERS program who recently completed research at Georgetown University to create an integrated conceptual framework surrounding the deployment of Counter-Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) to help protect the homeland. Mr. Todd is a member of the FAA's UAS Detection and Mitigation Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC), helping to ensure that new technologies designed to detect and mitigate risks from errant or hostile UAS do not adversely impact the safe and efficient operation of the nation's airspace.Eric Holdeman is a professional emergency manager who is passionate about providing information that can help families, businesses & governments become better prepared for disasters of all types.

Back in April, three words burst through a news cycle otherwise laser-focused on COVID-19: “I can’t breathe.” George Floyd’s brutal death broke through the greater American consciousness, particularly that of white Americans, in a way the other questionable fatalities that have occurred over the years did not — and out of that horrific incident, deeper conversations about the lack of equity in modern society have risen to the surface. This episode of UNT Pod explores where we are, how we got here, and how we all can — and should — move forward together to build a stronger, more equitable world. In this episode, we discuss: ● The modern Black Lives Matter movement and the classical period of civil rights ● How the transatlantic slave trade marked African Americans as existing outside of the social compact, and the effects of those biases on modern race relations ● How popular media shapes impressions of the African American community ● Equity and diversity in higher education ● How Americans from all backgrounds can help build a more equitable society Featured in this episode are: Dr. J. Anthony Guillory, lecturer and advisor to the African American Studies minor in UNT’s Department of History Dr. Todd Moye, professor in UNT’s Department of History Dr. Christopher Todd, assistant professor in UNT’s Department of History Helpful links: · Read the UNT History Department’s anti-racism syllabus · Check out UNT’s new diversity and inclusion initiatives · Listen to more interviews from the Civil Rights in Black and Brown project · Dr. J.

Drones are making a difference around the world and in your neighborhood are helping to save lives and protect property. One of the areas where drones have really shown their potential is with helping to prepare for, respond to, and recover from severe tropical storms and hurricanes. 2017 really proved to be a benchmark as UAS responded to hurricanes Harvey in Texas, Urma in Florida, and Maria in Puerto Rico. UAS have been used for search and rescue, damage assessment, power restoration, and insurance claims. In 2018 and 2019, with the arrival of hurricanes, drones have continued to show their amazing potential by offering a quick, cost-effective, aviation-based capability for many response elements.

Every new story is just more proof that designers are born early, and can take any path. Our dear host Nick May sits down on The Chaise Lounge today with Christopher Todd Hall. It bears mentioning that Christopher Todd Design is not only a national, full-scale interior design firm, but also a fine gifts location you can visit in Las Vegas, Nevada! (Henderson, to be be exact.) As a child, Christopher put on an art show every 4th of July called "Sparks Specacular", and would later in his teens get paid to help his neighbors put up their Christmas decorations. (You can see where this is going.) Floral design ended up being his ticket into bigger and better, working with the MGM Grand and the Academy Awards. And he and Nick both agree that COVID has presented an unfortunate, though unique, opportunity to focus on all the little behind-the-scenes things that can get lost during the normal day-to-day. I feel like if you are a good designer, it's a vision that you're born with. You just have that Midas touch. Even with accessorizing, you just know how to do it. interior, event and floral designer Christopher Todd Hall Tweet Chaise Lounge Updates We just wrapped our latest season of Coast to Coast Design, with Garrison Hullinger and new co-host Lisa Davenport!
