Seduced...

An Indiana high school teacher and former golf coach met a student for sex in two Indianapolis hotels 22 times since July.   Five of those sexual encounters between Robert Chin and his student took place before the girl's 18th birthday.  The 40-year-old Avon, Ind., man was held in the Marion County (Ind.) Jail on a felony charge of child seduction.


She began having sex with Chin in July in hotel rooms in Indianapolis, the girl told police.    Registry records showed Chin had checked in to the Clarion Hotel 14 times between July and April. Three of those dates were when the girl was 17.      Who was at home?

The age of sexual consent in Indiana is 16, but the child seduction law makes it a felony for an adult in a position of trust, including a coach, teacher or pastor, to have sex with a child they supervise who is younger than 18.  Just a thought.

Honouring Egypt...

U.S. President Donald Trump (R) welcomes Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi before their meeting at the White House in Washington, United States on April 3, 2017 (Presidency of Egypt / Handout - Anadolu Agency )

 President Trump went out of his way Monday to honor Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, praising the hard-line leader for doing a "fantastic job" and soliciting his help in the fight against terrorism and violent extremists.

"We are very much behind Egypt and the people of Egypt," Trump told Sisi at the White House. "You have a great friend and ally in the United States and in me."
Trump also referenced his own plans for more Pentagon spending to meet the terrorist threat, saying that "we are rejuvenating our military to the highest level ... That’s what we need.”

Seeking to demonstrate a high regard for his guest, Trump brought in reporters and photographers for four separate photo opportunities with him and Sisi.   [USA Today-David Jackson]
