San Antonio 'Illegal' Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Minor He Met Online, Getting Victim Pregnant Twice
A 32-year-old man living in the country illegally has been arrested for sexually assaulting a child, impregnating the victim twice, according to authorities.
According to arrest warrants obtained by KENS5, Luis Adalberto Veliz-Lopez is now facing four counts of sexual assault of a child.
Veliz-Lopez Met the Victim Through Instagram, Told Her 'Age is Just a Number'
Police arrested Veliz-Lopez, after a woman reportedly told officers about the sexual assaults that began when she was just 14. According to the arrest warrants, the victim met Veliz-Lopez through Instagram when he was 22 and she was just 13.
Police say the victim asked Veliz-Lopez if he was okay with having a relationship with her because of her age. The warrant says Veliz-Lopez responded: "Age is just a number."
Veliz-Lopez and the Victim Roleplayed as Uncle and Niece
Shortly after turning 14, the victim says they began a sexual relationship, where Veliz-Lopez would pretend to be the victim's uncle and sign her out of school. Veliz-Lopez would allegedly take her to his home where the two would have sex.
Police say the victim had a baby, when she was 16, too young to consent. Then police says she got pregnant again, while she was still 16.
Veliz-Lopez Sent Victim Screenshots of Photos, Videos of Their Sexual Encounters During Custody Dispute of the Children
Officers say Veliz-Lopez took photos and video of the sexual encounters and sent the victim screenshots during a custody dispute.
The victim claims Veliz-Lopez threatened to release the photos and video and also threatened to kill or hurt her. She also claims Veliz-Lopez threatened to take the kids to Canada or his native Guatemala. Veliz-Lopez is currently in the Bexar County Jail, with an immigration hold, for entering the country illegally.

Singaporean woman given six months' jail in Taiwan for stalking singer, threatening her online
Cassandra Low (in red circle) captured on camera at a train station in Taiwan where she attempted to force singer Olivia Tsao into reconnecting with her on social media. PHOTO: OLIVIATSAO1130/FACEBOOK Singaporean woman given six months' jail in Taiwan for stalking singer, threatening her online A Singaporean woman who took her fanaticism too far was sentenced to a six-month jail term by a Taipei court after she stalked and publicly harassed local singer Olivia Tsao, a multiple winner of Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards. Cassandra Low, who is in her 30s, was identified in a court judgment published by the New Taipei District Court on June 5. She was found guilty of endangering the personal safety of Tsao, stalking and harassing her and also publicly insulting the singer. According to the judgment, Low was said to have been an admirer of Tsao, and they had been exchanging personal e-mails and messages over Facebook and Instagram since November 2023. But after Tsao blocked Low on the social media platforms, she was displeased and posted verbal threats and insults targeting the Taiwanese singer, her family and her agent. In one post on her Facebook account, Low wrote: 'I can be very aggressive. The more stubborn she is... don't blame me for whatever I do to her parents.' In another, she wrote: 'Blocking me, see how I slowly let her agent die.' Low's repeated threats caused Tsao and her agent to leave their homes in New Taipei City. Her extreme behaviour came to a head in February 2025, when she followed Tsao to the Banqiao high-speed rail station after learning her idol was planning to take the train. Low successively held on to Tsao's luggage and her phone in a bid to force the singer to unblock her on social media before she was taken away by local police to assist with investigations. In a video recorded by Tsao during the February incident, Low can be seen blocking the singer's path until she agreed to a reconciliation. For her crimes, Low was sentenced to a total of six months in prison, or a commuted fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) for each day of her jail term . The court had heard that Low is a Singaporean and earned a salary that was more than double that of someone working in Taiwan, meaning that a fine alone may not provide the intended corrective impact or reflect the severity of her crimes. Low will also be deported from Taiwan after serving her sentence or paying her fine. On June 11, Tsao expressed relief at the judgment. 'This is the most comforting piece of news I have received recently,' she wrote on Instagram and Facebook, thanking those around her and her lawyer for their companionship and help. Olivia Tsao posted her relief after the judgment was passed. PHOTO: OLIVIAROUGEJALOUX/INSTAGRAM Tsao, 38, who sings mainly in Taiwanese Hokkien and is better known as Tsao Ya-wen, last won the Best Female Taiwanese Singer award at the prestigious Golden Melody Awards in 2021. She had previously spoken about feeling helpless and uncomfortable when fans harassed her and her family, without identifying anyone specifically.

Second round of Pofma sanctions for owner of TOC website, socmed accounts
The people running The Online Citizen's (TOC) website, Facebook, Instagram, and X pages will continue to be barred from deriving any financial benefits from the running of its platforms till 2027. In a statement on June 11, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) said TOC's website and social media pages - which were labelled as Declared Online Locations (DOLs) - had first been declared as such in July 2023, and was due to expire on July 21, 2025. DOLs have to comply with actions under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) that would prevent their operator from financially benefiting during the period they are listed as one. However, said MDDI, TOC "continued to communicate falsehoods through its online platforms over the past two years". Between July 2023 and June 2025, it received eight correction directions under the fake news law. These included one in February 25, after TOC published an article about modification works at the Ridout Road colonial bungalow leased by Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam's wife. In its article, it said the Singapore Land Authority had given Mr Shanmugam assurances of a lease extension beyond its 2027 expiry, and that public funds were used to pay for the earthworks carried out at the bungalow since 2024, among other claims. These are falsehoods, said MDDI. As a result, TOC's website and social media pages have again been labelled DOLs, a move necessary "to ensure Singaporeans continue to be alerted to TOC's record of communicating falsehoods", said the ministry. The new declaration comes into effect immediately after the current direction expires and will remain till July 21, 2027 at 12pm. TOC will be able to continue its operations, but will have to carry a notice on its online platforms to notify its audience that it has been declared a DOL. The notice will also have to state that it had "communicated multiple falsehoods" and that its viewers should exercise caution when accessing it for information. MDDI added that service providers, including digital advertising agencies, will have to take steps to ensure that their paid content on TOC's platforms are not made available in Singapore. "Individuals and companies must also not provide financial support to TOC's DOLs to avoid promoting the communication of falsehoods in Singapore on these platforms," it added. At present, there are three other outlets currently listed as DOLs. They are Transformative Justice Collective's website and social media pages, Gutzy Asia's website and social media pages, as well as opposition politician Kenneth Jeyaretnam's website and social media pages. A provision under Pofma allows the Government to order an Internet intermediary to disable access to a DOL if the owner of the DOL does not comply with the declaration and paid content on the site continues to be displayed to users here. If an Internet intermediary fails to comply and is convicted, it can be fined up to $20,000 for each day that the government order is not fully complied with, up to a total of $500,000. The owner or operator of a DOL can however apply to the Minister for Digital Development and Information to suspend, vary, or cancel the declaration. If the minister refuses the application, an appeal can be made to the High Court.

Shopee responds after pet owner says deliveryman slammed window on senior dog
A Singapore pet owner shared her distress after a delivery incident allegedly caused injury to her senior dog. Instagram user @graceey.t shared a post on May 30 detailing a distressing incident involving her senior dog and a deliveryman. She claimed that the delivery worker, while delivering a Shopee parcel to her unit, slammed the sliding window on her dog, Bobby, after it barked at him. She said this act resulted in bleeding in her dog's mouth, and that even a week later, she was still finding traces of blood. She expressed frustration that Shopee had repeatedly assigned the same delivery personnel to her unit despite her complaints and said she wasn't asking for the delivery personnel to be fired, but simply wanted him reassigned to ensure her dog's safety. Stomp understands the incident involved a Jack Russell Terrier - a highly active breed known for its energy. When the delivery personnel approached the unit, the dog lunged forward and barked at him. The courier, who is in his 50s and has over a year of delivery experience, instinctively closed the window to prevent the dog from jumping at him. While this reaction might have been meant to protect himself, it may have unintentionally caused the injury. In response to a Stomp query, a Shopee spokesperson said they have reached out to the buyer to acknowledge the seriousness of the concern raised. "Our logistics partner has taken steps to ensure the matter is addressed constructively, including making arrangements for the reassignment of the delivery partner involved," a spokesperson said. "We are taking this as an opportunity to review our customer support and service partner training to better manage sensitive situations. "Shopee is committed to providing a safe and respectful experience for all users, and we appreciate the feedback that helps us continue to improve." In an update, the Instagram user thanked netizens for reading and reposting her story and confirmed that Shopee has reviewed the case and addressed the issues. "I'm grateful that necessary actions have been taken and they're finally making things right after the most frustrating two months of 2025 for my family and I."
