Suspected Pedophile Behind Bars after Thief steals his phone
SANTIAGO – A man identified only as T.P. has been ordered held without bail after a thief who stole his cellphone and found child pornography on the device reported the discovery, Chilean authorities said Thursday.
Prosecutors charged T.P. with sexual abuse of minors and possession of child pornography.
The theft occurred last week in Santiago’s Renca district.
The thief, a 30-year-old man, discovered the porn, including images of child rape, and decided to deliver the phone’s memory card to an organization that works with at-risk children.
“I know that you work with children and I want to give you this card. I stole it, but when I reviewed it I saw that it contained child pornography,” the thief told the organization, according to a report in Las Ultimas Noticias newspaper.
The organization reported the case to police, which led to the detention of T.P. once investigators verified that he was the individual appearing in the videos.
The suspect had 410 photographs and videos with sexual content, some of them including his partner’s 8-year-old daughter.
Mexico -Australian Surfers found dead in van .
CULIACAN, Mexico – The burned bodies found inside a van in Navolato, a city in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa, three weeks ago are those of Australians Dean Lucas and Adam Russell Coleman, officials said Tuesday.
DNA tests done by Australian authorities confirmed the victims’ identities, Sinaloa Attorney General Marco Antonio Higuera told reporters.
“The only thing I can tell you is that, yes, it is those persons. What we’re waiting for are the official results,” Higuera said.
The bodies will be released once the official results are received by state authorities, a process that could be concluded next week, the AG said.
Lucas and Coleman, both 33, disappeared on Nov. 20 while driving to Guadalajara, the capital of the western state of Jalisco, where Andrea Gomez, the girlfriend of one of the victims, lives.
The surfers were traveling in a 1992 van and used a ferry to cross the Sea of Cortes from La Paz, a city in Baja California Sur state, to Topolobampo, a city in Sinaloa.
The Australians drove all afternoon after making the crossing and were last seen at a convenience store, where an employee told them the best route to Mazatlan, a resort city in Sinaloa.
The route taken by the Australians goes through the city of Navolato, where the burned bodies of two unidentified people were found inside a charred vehicle on Nov. 21.
The Sinaloa AG’s office said on Dec. 4 that three suspects had been arrested in connection with the murders and two others were being sought.
The suspects under arrest, identified as Julio Cesar Gonzalez Muñiz, Martin Rogelio Muñiz Ponce and Sergio Simon Benitez Gonzalez, have prior criminal records on drug and vehicle theft charges.
The men were arrested in the same area where the killings were committed, prosecutors said, adding that the Australians were murdered during a robbery attempt.
Investigators are still looking for the other two suspects in the case, Higuera said.

Iran-Foad Khanjani Released From Prison
HRANA News Agency – Foad Khanjani, a former student of industrial management at Isfahan University who was expelled because of his Bahai beliefs, has been released at the end of his four-year sentence.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), he was arrested in Tehran on March 2, 2010, and taken to the offices of the Ministry of Intelligence, released and rearrested, and arrested for the third time on April 27, 2010, when he was sent to Evin Prison.
His arrests followed the widespread unrest in Iran following the announcement of national election results. Authorities initially tried to claim that Bahais had a hand in stirring up the protests. His sister Leva Khanjani, another student excluded from education for being a Bahai, was also arrested after the election unrest, along with her husband Babak Mobasher. She was arrested on January 3, 2010, and sentenced to two years in prison. She was released on June 24, 2014.
Mr. Khanjani was released on bail on May 8, pending his trial which was conducted on December 11, 2010. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison, by Judge Maqiseh, and this sentence was confirmed in the review court by Judge Mouhed.
His lawyer attempted to appeal this sentence to the Supreme Court, but the lawyer was confronted with threats from the Ministry of Intelligence. Mr. Khanjani began his sentence in Evin Prison on January 17, 2012, but on August 5 of that year he was transferred to Raja’i Shahr prison. From late September that year he was in need of urgent hospital treatment for a cyst in the abdomen, which was denied until early November. On March 2, 2013, he was denied family visits for refusing to wear prison uniform.
Foad Khanjani’s father, Ala’eddin Khanjani, known as Niki, was also arrested following the election protests, and again in August 2014, apparently because he was running an optician’s shop, and such businesses had been added — unannounced — to the list of sectors in which Bahais are forbidden to work. He was summoned to appear at Bench 5 of the court at Evin Prison in Tehran on August 10, 2015. Bench 5 has specialised in the persecution of Bahais. So far as I know, his sentence has not yet been announced.
Niki Khanjani’s father Jamalledin Khanjani is one of the seven ‘Yaran’ (Bahai national facilitators) who are now in the eighth year of 10-year sentences for their services to the Bahai community.
