Police: Suspect In Queens Nurse’s Death Found Holding Another Woman Captive In L.A. Hotel
written by CurtisNiles
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police say they finally caught up with a man wanted in connection with the death of a nurse in Queens, discovering the suspect on the other side of the country with another woman held captive in a Los Angeles hotel room. Danueal Drayton, 27, of New Haven, Conn., was taken into custody Thursday. The hunt began after 29-year-old nurse Samantha Stewart was found dead inside her bedroom at her family home in Springfield Gardens, Queens, on July 17. Police say Stewart suffered trauma to her head and neck. “A lot of sorrow is in my heart,” her aunt, Ruby Dixon, told CBS2’s Tony Aiello after learning about Drayton’s arrest. “My niece was the best you ever could find in a human being.” Danuel Drayton (credit: NYPD) Police had been searching for the person responsible for Stewart’s murder and also another incident involving the rape of a 23-year-old woman that happened the month before in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Both investigations led them to the same suspect, when the joint New York/New Jersey Police Task Force caught up with Drayton. “There was a separate woman in a hotel room in California that was being held against her will,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea. “Right after he commit a gruesome murder here and destroy my family, he went to California and just almost did the same thing,” Stewart’s father, Kenneth, said. “Thank God they catch him before he could destroy another family.” When we captured Danuel Drayton in LA for the murder of Queens nurse Samantha Stewart, he had another victim held captive. He's off the streets but may have victimized others via online dating sites. Need help or have info? Call 800-577-TIPS/ sex crimes hotline 212-267-RAPE pic.twitter.com/iif7E9KuyA — Chief Dermot F. Shea (@NYPDDetectives) July 26, 2018 Authorities believe Drayton met both of those women on Tinder and their first meeting was in a public space. They say he also may have used other dating sites to meet potential victims. “The common denominator in these two cases – one being a murder, one being a rape – is dating websites,” said Shea. “So this individual is known to us and it is believed by us that this individual uses dating web sites to meet women and then victimize these women.” Police say Drayton was well known to police. He was arrested in June for allegedly choking an ex-girlfriend at Inwood Park in Nassau County. One July 1, his bail was set at $1,000. On July 5, a judge dropped the bail requirement, over the objection of the district attorney, and Drayton walked free. He also has five prior arrests in his home state of Connecticut, including a strangulation arrest in 2011. “I’m devastated by my loss of my daughter, but hearing this news now it really, really shocks me, throws me over the edge,” said Kenneth Stewart. Police believe there may be more victims out there and are asking for anyone affected or who has information to come forward. “Be careful. If you meet up with someone, tell somebody,” Dixon said. “Tell a family member, tell a friend. You don’t know who these monsters are.” Stewart’s funeral is set for Saturday.

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — The County of Los Angeles must pay over $20 million to a sexually abused teen whose lawsuit claimed child protective services failed her. A jury Thursday found in favor of the El Monte girl whose lawsuit alleged two social workers with the county’s Department of Child and Family Services suspected she was being molested but didn’t notify the county. The $45.4 million award is to be split up among and paid by the county, her mother and four men who lived in their apartment. The county and the mother must pay 45 percent each, which amounts to about $20 million a piece. The men must pay the remaining 10 percent. An attorney for the girl said social workers Elbis Severo and Lucia So had “reasonable suspicion” she was being abused because one of the men had been previously arrested, but that they never contacted the county or El Monte police about it. The girl’s lawyers said Severo and So suspected she was abused by Louis Fluet in 2010, when he moved into the home, but didn’t choose remove her from the home until 2012, when the girl told her father’s girlfriend she was being abused. The mother and the four men were criminally convicted of sexual abuse. DCFS has come under scrutiny in the last few years over their alleged mishandling of at least two high-profile cases, in which they’d been in contact with boys who were ultimately killed at the hands of their abusive parents.

‘What’s Going On’? Donald Trump Signs Law Naming South LA Post Office After Marvin Gaye
written by TheresaHGV
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — Donald Trump has signed into law a bill naming a post office in South Los Angeles after the late R&B singer Marvin Gaye. The post office located at 3585 S. Vermont Ave. — just across the street from the University of Southern California — will be named after the two-time Grammy-winning singer famous for hits like “What’s Going On,” “How Sweet It Is” and “Sexual Healing.” “Marvin Gaye’s music has transcended generations and gave the ’70s and ’80s a sound,” Democratic Rep. Karen Bass (CA-37) said Tuesday. She introduced HR 1496 in 2017. Gaye was born in Washington D.C. but lived in L.A.’s West Adams neighborhood until his death in 1984. Infamously, he was shot and killed by his father during a family altercation. The Motown singer made headlines posthumously when his family was awarded $7.4 million in a lawsuit claiming singer Robin Thicke and rapper Pharrell Williams lifted parts of Gaye’s song “Got To Give It Up” for their 2013 hit “Blurred Lines.” A judge later reduced the amount to $5.3 million.

NEW YORK (AP) — Devin Mesoraco hit an early three-run double and made a heads-up play on defense that helped Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets defeat the San Diego Padres 6-3 on Tuesday night. Michael Conforto launched a two-run homer, extending his recent tear at the plate, and Wheeler (4-6) pitched seven crisp innings to win his second consecutive start. Before that, the right-hander went 13 outings without a victory dating to April 29 in San Diego — the longest stretch without a win for a Mets starter in 20 years. Before the game, New York put Yoenis Cespedes on the 10-day disabled list again. The team said it was awaiting a second opinion before deciding whether the oft-injured slugger needs surgery on both feet that could require an eight-to-10-month recovery. “Still trying to gather information,” manager Mickey Callaway said. Leadoff hitter Amed Rosario tripled and scored twice for the Mets, who won for only the eighth time in their last 30 home games. Wilmer Flores also scored twice. Padres left-hander Eric Lauer (5-7) struggled through the early innings once again. He threw 35 pitches in the first, giving up Mesoraco’s bases-loaded double with two outs, before serving up Conforto’s 13th homer after a leadoff walk in the third. Asdrubal Cabrera singled home Rosario after he tripled with two outs in the fourth. Wil Myers hit a two-run single in the third off Wheeler, who then retired his final 12 batters. A possible trade candidate with a week to go before the July 31 deadline, Wheeler allowed two runs and four hits with three strikeouts and one walk. Myers added an RBI double off Seth Lugo in the ninth. Manuel Margot was initially called out at the plate on Myers’ single in the third. Even though that appeared to be the third out of the inning, Mesoraco alertly threw to third just in case, where Carlos Asuaje was easily tagged as he eased up in the basepath for what seemed to like an unnecessary “fourth out.” When umpires overturned the call at the plate, ruling Margot safe after a replay review that lasted just more than 3 minutes, they also called Asuaje out at third, ending the inning. That preserved a 3-2 lead for the Mets, and Wheeler cruised from there. TRAINER’S ROOM Padres: RHP Jordan Lyles (right elbow inflammation) made a rehab start for Triple-A El Paso and could pitch for San Diego on Sunday at home against Arizona. … INF Fernando Tatis Jr., one of the highest-rated prospects in baseball, had surgery for a broken left thumb with ligament damage. He is expected to be sidelined at least six to eight weeks, potentially ending his season with Double-A San Antonio. Mets: LHP Jason Vargas (strained right calf) is scheduled to come off the disabled list to start Friday night in Pittsburgh. … Mesoraco was hit under the chin by a foul ball in the fourth. After being checked, he remained in the game. UP NEXT Mets rookie RHP Corey Oswalt (0-2, 5.64 ERA), who is from San Diego, makes his sixth major league appearance and fifth start when he faces his hometown Padres in the series finale Wednesday afternoon. Looking for his first career win, Oswalt has allowed a total of three hits over 11 innings in his past two outings. Veteran LHP Clayton Richard (7-9, 4.82) pitches for the Padres.

Brock Turner, Former Stanford Student Found Guilty Of Attempted Rape, Tries To Get Conviction Overturned
written by RHJAugusttyg
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — A former Stanford University student who made national headlines for receiving a months-long jail sentence after being convicted of attempted rape is appealing the verdict. A lawyer for Brock Turner told a California Court of Appeals panel Tuesday that Turner never intended to rape the partially dressed, unconscious woman he was found on top of outside a fraternity party in January 2015. According to the Associated Press, Justice Franklin D. Elia appeared skeptical, telling attorney Eric Malthaup, “I absolutely don’t understand what you are talking about.” He said the law “requires the jury verdict to be honored.” Turner was found guilty of assault with intent to commit rape, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person with a foreign object, and sexual penetration of an unconscious person with a foreign object. During the incident, two Swedish graduate students stopped the assault. “She was unconscious. The entire time. I checked her and she didn’t move at all,” Carl-Fredrik Arndt told CBS News in 2016, adding they saw Turner “aggressively thrusting his hips into her.” The case received national attention after the 23-year-old victim read a statement to Turner in court. In it she wrote, “You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my safety, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today.[…] I don’t want my body anymore. I was terrified of it.” Stoking the online rage was a tone-deaf statement from Turner’s father, who said his son, a one-time Olympic swimming hopeful, didn’t deserve jail time for his crime. “His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve,” Dan Turner told Judge Aaron Persky in a letter. “That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” As evidence of Turner’s “devastation,” he cited his son’s loss of appetite, including for “a big ribeye steak” which the father said he used to be “excited to buy.” The letter was one of dozens sent to Persky in defense of Turner, who could have been incarcerated for up to 14 years. However, Persky sentenced Turner to six months in jail and three years probation in 2016. Advocates for victims of sexual abuse who believed the sentence was too lenient started a petition to get Persky off the bench, leading to a recall vote this past June. Fellow judges and legal experts criticized the blowback against Persky, some saying that, even if they didn’t agree with the sentence, they believed he did nothing wrong. Persky was eventually recalled by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. In the wake of the verdict, California. Gov. Jerry brown signed a mandatory minimum sentence law for people found guilty of rape, requiring them to serve prison time instead of being held in jail, as in Turner’s case. A second law allows victims to say in court they were raped, even if a sexual assault doesn’t meet the technical definition of rape under state law. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ivanka Trump’s clothing company is shutting down after some stores dropped her line and she decided ethics restrictions were holding back its ability. In an email to CNBC, Ivanka Trump said: “When we first started this brand, no one could have predicted the success that we would achieve. After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.” The New York Post is reported that staff have been informed that they’re being laid off.” The Wall Street Journal is also reporting the closure. Ivanka Trump, who is a senior adviser to her father, President Donald Trump, has recently been encouraging U.S. companies to pledge to hire American workers. Her company has been accused in the past of using foreign workers to make its products abroad. Views on the brand have become highly polarized and it has faced boycotts from anti-Trump protesters. With sales flagging by some measures, Nordstrom dropped the Ivanka Trump line last year and recently Hudson Bay reportedly did the same. The company has also come under attack by government ethics experts for trademarks granted by foreign governments such as China seeking to curry favor with the president. “Views on the brand have become highly polarized and it has become a lightning rod for protests and boycotts,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail. “While the company is still viable, doing business has become far more challenging and these problems will only increase.” (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

Over 200 Women Now Suing USC, Accusing Gynecologist George Tyndall Of Sexual Assault, Misconduct
written by HarleyMoreira
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Fifty-one more women have come out to speak publicly against former University of Southern California health center gynecologist George Tyndall, bringing the number of accusers suing the school to over 200. The women addressed reporters at a Monday press conference, detailing the disturbing behavior that time and time again was reportedly defended by staff members at the Engemann Student Health Center. Former USC student Amanda Davis recalled a 2000 visit, during which Tyndall took photos of her and claimed they were for research purposes. “I have a vivid image of being naked while Dr. Tyndall took pictures and the shame and the emotions that go with it,” Davis said, reading a prepared statement. Numerous women have stated Tyndall watched them undress and proceeded to violate them during pelvic exams. “I don’t recall him putting gloves on, and he did not do a standard gynecological exam. It felt more like I was being molested by an unwanted sexual predator,” said Annette Richardson. Richardson said she told staff at the center, including a nurse, about her mistreatment. “She said, ‘That’s just how Dr. Tyndall is,’” recalled Richardson. It’s a claim USC is finding harder and harder to defend as women accuse the school and the clinic of trying to cover up the abuse. Tyndall, 71, has denied any wrongdoing, saying he never examined a woman without gloves in interviews with the L.A. Times, which broke the story back in May . During their investigation, the Times found that, in addition to the alleged sexual impropriety, Tyndall made racially insensitive remarks and comments about the women’s appearance. USC terminated Tyndall’s employment in June 2017, about a year after USC’s Office of Equity and Diversity launched an investigation into his alleged behavior. Following the Times’ revelations, two top USC health officials were fired . USC President Max Nikias stepped down after over 200 faculty members signed a letter demanding his ouster. According to the Times , 225 current and former students are now suing USC. This is the latest scandal USC has been dealing with in the past few years. Carmen Puliafito stepped down as dean of the USC Keck School of Medicine in 2016 after it was revealed he had partied with underage girls and provided drugs to his girlfriend, who was a prostitute. Just last week, the California medical board ordered Puliafito be stripped of his license to practice medicine, the Times reported . Another scandal involved a USC graduate student accusing social work professor Erick Guerrero of sexually harassing her at an academic conference. Guerrero was suspended without pay in 2017 and was prohibited from working with doctoral students for three years.

Former Palos Verdes HS Student Acquitted Of South LA Gang Murder Has ‘Newfound Love For The Law’
written by EvaVallejo
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — A former South Bay high school student has been a acquitted of a killing in South Los Angeles, during which he admitted driving a car the assailants were riding in before the murder. Cameron Terrell , 18, of Palos Verdes Estates was acquitted of first-degree murder Monday after a 10-day jury deliberation. Prosecutors alleged Terrell was the getaway driver for two South L.A. men suspected of murdering Justin Holmes on October 1 of last year. He also faced two additional counts of attempted murder. Holmes’ and Terrell’s families were escorted out of the courtroom by deputies separately in order to avoid a confrontation. Terrell’s defense attorney Jovan Blackwell told reporters Monday he and his client were satisfied with the verdict, though he said his client shouldn’t have charged with anything, “certainly not murder.” However, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Adan Montalban told jurors Terrell was a gang member who knew what the two other juveniles were planning to do when they shot and killed 21-year-old Holmes near the intersection of West 78th Street and Western Avenue, which Montalban said was rival territory. Holmes. who was with two other men at the time, reportedly told the assailants he was not a gang member. The men escaped without injury. Prosecutors told jurors Terrell knew about the planned shooting, evidenced by the fact he parked out of sight to let the teens out of the car. They also showed jurors video Terrell recorded of his friends kicking over candles left for Holmes at a makeshift memorial. People who knew Holmes said he had attended college, was working, and had dreams for his future. Still, Blackwell said his client was shocked when he heard the shots, driving a block away as a matter of survival. He added Terrell would not have been driving “his daddy’s car” if he knew there would be a shooting, though he did believe a fight would take place. Much was made of the fact that Terrell resides in the affluent community of Palos Verdes Estates. Terrell’s $5 million bond was posted with $500,000 cash in October after he admitted he was the driver that day. He began a home-study course after parents at the high school demanded he not return to the campus. Terrell appeared in the background of several music videos from local rappers and had been given the name “White Boy.” This was used as proof that Terrell was in the gang, but Blackwell said his client should not have been criticized for being “open-minded” about having friends from different backgrounds who might “walk a different path,” City News Service reported. Blackwell added Terrell now plans to go to college in Houston to study law, given his “newfound love” for jurisprudence. Terrell said he sympathized with Holmes’ family but remained defiant about his motives that day. “Rest in peace, Justin Holmes, you shouldn’t have gone that day.[…] I pray for his family every night. This has been weighing on me every single day of my life.” He added, “I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. God knows what really happened that day, and God knows what was in my head that day.” The two juveniles who had been in the car with Terrell are awaiting trial. Terrell is the son of interior designer Debra Terrell and media executive Donald Wayne Terrell, The Daily Breeze reported. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

After Artist Raises Stink Over Use Of Farting Unicorn Design, Tesla’s Elon Musk Reaches Agreement
written by EllenPulleine
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — A Colorado artist has reached an agreement with billionaire Elon Musk over a copyright dispute involving a unicorn passing gas. Potter Tom Edwards was initially flattered when Musk tweeted a photo of a mug with his design showing a unicorn’s flatulence powering a car. Edwards said he sold about 50 mugs with the exposure. But when Edwards found out Musk used his art to promote an operating system for Tesla, the electric car company owned by Musk, he felt he was being short-changed. Musk later deleted the tweet. In May, Edwards’ lawyer sent a letter to Tesla asking that his client be compensated. On Saturday, Musk tweeted a screenshot of Edwards’ website reading “Copyright Issue: RESOLVED!” Edwards wrote the following message on his site: “I am happy to report that we have reached an agreement with Tesla that resolves our issues in a way that everyone feels good about! It’s clear there were some misunderstandings that led to this escalating, but I’m just glad that everything has been cleared up. I’ve always been a Tesla fan, and I’m looking forward to getting back to making pots and selling them in my online store.” Musk tweeted that it would be “lame” if Edwards sued him for money. It’s not clear what resolution was reached. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — LA Times Restaurant Critic Jonathan Gold has died. Gold was 57. The Times said the Pulitzer prize-winning Gold died of pancreatic cancer at St. Vincent Medical Center Saturday evening. Gold was the first-ever food writer to win the Pulitzer. Gold — born and raised in Los Angeles — was diagnosed with the disease in early July. Jonathan Gold, the Pulitzer Prize-winning LA Times restaurant critic, has died at the age of 57. We will miss him greatly. https://t.co/7Zf8jMv7Qm pic.twitter.com/D9FnLNw14Z — Los Angeles Times (@latimes) July 22, 2018 Gold wrote about the LA food scene for nearly four decades. And unlike some critics who would only dine in snooty, upscale restaurants worthy of top chefs, Gold had a penchant for the off-beat, hidden gems and holes in the wall that Angelenos love. Gold was also widely known for dropping continual references in his reviews about music, pop culture and literature. No surprise here — he studied music and art at UCLA. In addition to the LA Times, Gold’s byline also appeared in LA Weekly. The food community is still reeling from the death of foodie Anthony Bourdain. Gold is survived by his wife, LA Times Arts & Entertainment Editor Laurie Ochoa. The couple has two children, a 23-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son.
