Man accused of raping a mum after she denied him breast milk

A father in the American state Louisiana is accused of raping a longtime friend just two weeks after she gave birth. Police allege he attacked her after she refused to let him drink her breast milk.
Cecil Fuller, 38, shocked the new mum, a friend of 10 years, when he asked to drink her milk while visiting her in her home around 4.30am on Tuesday, US time, according to court documents obtained by KTVE.
Disgusted, the unidentified friend went into her bedroom to escape him. Fuller followed her in and raped her, according to the documents.
Fuller is also accused of choking her to the point where she was unable to breathe — and only stopping the attack when the mum's baby woke up and started crying, police said, New York Post reported.
Police were called to a medical centre and heard the woman's horror story. Fuller was arrested later that day.
He was arrested on one count of second-degree rape and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center, where he's being held without bond.
Fuller looked crestfallen with dark circles under his eyes in his mugshot. He is a dad of two who recently split from his wife, according to social media posts shared by the Daily Mail.
The accused rapist was previously arrested in November 2023 for allegedly dealing drugs that led to two people overdosing.
Police found 200 prescription pills, marijuana, synthetic marijuana, and methamphetamines at the home where the pair overdosed, according to KTVE.
He was also arrested in 2018 after he was caught smoking meth in a house where young children were present.

Five young people die in road crashes in Mackay region in four weeks

A coastal Queensland region has been devastated by the death of a fifth young person in a road crash in just the past month. The Mackay region has endured repeated tragedies since mid-July, with three fatal crashes killing two drivers and three passengers aged 18 or 19. The most recent was the death of an 18-year-old man early on Wednesday morning when the car he was driving crashed and rolled several times off Mount Martin Gap Road, about 45 kilometres west of Mackay. Police attempted to resuscitate the man, but he was declared dead at the scene. In mid-July, three 19-year-olds were killed when their vehicle collided head-on with a ute while attempting to overtake a semi-trailer. And on Friday last week, an 18-year-old passenger in a ute that smashed into a power pole on the Peak Downs Highway died. A memorial service is being held at the Mackay Multisport Stadium on Friday. The driver, also 18, survived with minor injuries. Road safety advocate and former police officer Noel Lang said the number of young people who had been killed on the region's roads was heartbreaking. "It's just so sad, they're in the prime stage of their life," he said. "They've finished their school and [are] ready to go off and live life, and it's not ever going to eventuate." Police District Inspector Glen Cameron said the Wednesday crash added to a death toll already being heavily felt across the region "The impact on the local community, the families of the people involved, we really feel for them," he said. Inspector Cameron also noted the ongoing impact on first responders. "Attending emergency services aren't immune to the tragedy," he said. Mr Lang agreed, saying emergency services never stopped being affected by what they encountered at traumatic incidents. "I can tell you, it sits with you for years and years and years, and that it goes out into that community," Mr Lang said. Mr Lang is a lifetime member of the Mackay Road Accident Action Group, which has been trying to reduce roadside fatalities and injuries across Central Queensland for more than 20 years. He hopes the tragic loss of life has an impact on other young people, and makes them think twice about how they drive. "People will go, 'Oh my god, that happened to them and I've lost a friend,' and it'll make them personally think about their driver behaviour," he said. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating each of the crashes, and asked anyone with information or footage of the incidents to come forward.

Norwegian diver Jon Birger Karlsen jailed over 80km cocaine haul on Newcastle ship

A Norwegian diver has been sentenced to almost 10 years in prison over an 80-kilogram cocaine haul in the Port of Newcastle. Newcastle District Court heard Jon Birger Karlsen attempted to import the cocaine hidden in the hull of Cyprus-registered bulk carrier MV Stalo. It was berthed in Newcastle, alongside one of the city's grain terminals, on January 25, 2023. Karlsen and his co-accused Johan-Martinius Halvorsen, 35, were part of an international crime syndicate which flew him into Brisbane. Both men pleaded guilty to attempting to possess a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug. The syndicate bought Karlsen expensive scuba gear and aquatic scooters before sending him to Newcastle Harbour to retrieve the cocaine. Judge Roy Ellis said the pair practised their retrieval, but were spotted. "In any event, at that point in time police had already removed the cocaine." The court was told Australian Federal Police had removed the drugs after getting a tip off. When the men made their attempt AFP officers were waiting, shining lights in the water before the men fled. Judge Ellis said they spent almost $60,000 on the underwater scooters and scuba gear. "Each was given a free ticket to fly out to Australia," the judge said. "Both participated in the purchase of two sub scooters and both were involved in purchasing scuba gear. "His [Karlsen's] expertise was required to remove the drugs. Public defender Peter Krisenthal said his client [Karlsen] was not aware of the criminal nature of the work. Judge Ellis was sceptical. "They knew it was going to entail them in underwater work," he said. "It entailed them moving some item from the sea chest attached to the undercarriage of the boat. Mr Krisenthal told the judge his client had assisted federal police and had been attacked and threatened while awaiting sentencing. He said his client's family in Norway had also been subjected to threats. Judge Ellis questioned whether Karlsen was motivated by threats or financial gain. "In terms of being pressured to do it, it seems to me that it is a bit hard to walk away from the idea that financial gain had to be a significant factor," Judge Ellis said. He said a sentence of 12 years would have been appropriate for Karlsen, without any reductions. Judge Ellis applied a 15 per cent discount, taking into account assistance to police and threats he had received. That shaved just over two years off the sentence, equating to a maximum term of nine years and 11 months. A non-parole period was set at 4 years and 11 months, meaning Karlsen will be eligible for parole on Christmas Eve 2028. That is due to time already served. Halvorsen was sentenced in March to 12 years jail with a non-parole period of 5 years, 9 months. The 35-year-old will be eligible for parole in October 2028.
