Federal lawsuit adds to allegations of child sexual abuse in Maryland youth detention centers
BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal lawsuit could open a new chapter in an escalating legal battle in Maryland, where officials are struggling to address an unexpected onslaught of claims alleging child sexual abuse in state-run juvenile detention facilities. With thousands of similar claims already pending in state court, the litigation has raised questions about how Maryland will handle the potential financial liability. The new federal suit, filed Wednesday on behalf of three plaintiffs, seeks $300 million in damages — an amount that far exceeds caps imposed on claims filed in state court. It alleges Maryland juvenile justice leaders knew about a culture of abuse inside youth detention facilities and failed to address it, violating the plaintiffs' civil rights. Messages seeking comment were left Thursday with the state's Department of Juvenile Services and the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. The department generally doesn't comment on pending litigation. An estimated 11,000 plaintiffs have sued in state court, according to the attorneys involved. Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson said Wednesday that he believes negotiations for a potential settlement are ongoing between attorneys for the plaintiffs and the attorney general's office. Officials have said the state is facing a potential liability between $3 billion and $4 billion. Lawsuits started pouring in after a state law passed in 2023 eliminated the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims in Maryland. The change came in the immediate aftermath of a scathing investigative report that revealed widespread abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. It prompted the archdiocese to file for bankruptcy to protect its assets. But Maryland leaders didn't anticipate they'd be facing similar budgetary concerns because of claims against the state's juvenile justice system. Facing a potentially enormous payout, lawmakers recently passed an amendment to limit future liabilities. The new law reduces caps on settlements from $890,000 to $400,000 for cases filed after May 31 against state institutions, and from $1.5 million to $700,000 for private institutions. It allows each claimant to receive only one payment, instead of being able to collect for each act of abuse. Suing in federal court allows plaintiffs to sidestep those limits. 'Despite Maryland's recent unconstitutional legislative efforts to insulate itself from liability for the horrific sexual brutalization of children in its custody, Maryland cannot run from liability under Federal law,' plaintiffs' attorney Corey Stern said in a statement. 'The United States Constitution was created for all of us, knowing that some would need protection from the tyranny of their political leaders.' The three plaintiffs in the federal case allege they were sexually abused by staff at two juvenile detention centers. While other lawsuits have mainly presented allegations of abuse occurring decades ago, the federal complaint focuses on events alleged to have happened in 2019 and 2020. The plaintiffs were 14 and 15 years old. The victims feared their sentences would be extended if they spoke out, according to the complaint. They accuse state officials of turning a blind eye to a 'culture of sexual brutalization and abuse.' Stern said he anticipates more federal claims will be forthcoming.

'Cobra Kai' actor Martin Kove defends biting female co-star in newly released police footage
"Cobra Kai" actor Martin Kove explained his reasoning for biting his co-star. In newly released bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital, Kove, 78, told police why he bit actress Alicia Hannah-Kim, 37, in an alarming moment at Summer Con in Puyallup, Washington, on June 22, 2025. "You cannot bite people. That is not OK," the Puyallup Police told Kove. Hannah-Kim chimed in and argued, "That is assault." "And it's 100% up to her if she wants to pursue charges. I'd like to understand why you did that," the police said to Kove. The heated encounter occurred outside a building, as Hannah-Kim appeared visibly upset about the situation and wanted an explanation for Kove's actions. WATCH: MARTIN KOVE EXPLAINS WHY HE BIT HIS 'COBRA KAI' CO-STAR IN BODYCAM FOOTAGE "I was just playing because we're very playful together, and I bit down too hard, and I meant to just..." he explained, as Hannah-Kim looked at the police in disbelief. "She's got a mouth mark on her," authorities said in the bodycam footage. According to a report from the Puyallup Police Department, Hannah-Kim approached an officer in the VIP area after Kove took her arm and bit her "so hard he nearly drew blood," per Variety. "No, we do not play like that," Hannah-Kim added and shook her head. Kove apologized again. The police footage continued with the actress showing her bite marks from Kove, as the people in the video agreed there was a visible bite mark. "All morning, I was thinking when she said, 'Ow, you hurt me,'" Kove said while explaining his side to officers. He referred to Hannah-Kim's reaction after he bit her on the arm hard enough to leave a mark. "I wanted to come back… and see how she's doing," he continued, adding that another co-star allegedly "intercepted" him before he could reach her. Kove claimed he tried to make amends immediately, saying, "I tried to say that… and find her the moment I arrived… just to say—'I'm sorry, darling. I apologize, I didn't mean to hurt you.'" "You know, because we play all the time, we pop, we hit, we do stuff all the time because she's a female sensei, I'm the male sensei," Kove explained of their roles in "Cobra Kai." "We have all our scenes together, and we have a lot of fun." The police footage was released after Kove was forced to leave a fan convention early over the weekend after he bit his co-star. After Kove bit Hannah-Kim, he reportedly let go and began kissing her arm where he had bitten her after she cried out in pain. After telling her husband about the incident, the two approached Kove at the fan event together, after which the report stated he "exploded on them, saying something to the effect of how dare they confront him." Per the report, the actress told the reporting officer she did not want to file charges against Kove, but that she "wished to have a report filed in case this continues." Kove was then asked to leave the fan event. Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Kove and Hannah-Kim for comment. Kove is best known for his portrayal of John Kreese in the 1984 movie, "The Karate Kid." Kreese is the main antagonist of the movie, as he is the owner of the karate studio which teaches its students to have "no mercy." He reprised his role for the Netflix revival series, "Cobra Kai," which picked up 33 years after the events of the original movie. Hannah-Kim joined the show in season 6, playing Kim Da-Eun, a sensei from South Korea who teams up with Kreese to take down a rival studio, which happens to be owned by Kreese's former student Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and his former rival, Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio.

Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial closing arguments begin; prosecutors say he wielded "power, violence and fear"
The sex trafficking trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs is nearing its end on Thursday as New York prosecutors and Combs' legal team make their closing arguments — without the hip-hop mogul ever taking the stand. The court indicated that prosecutors would get four hours on Thursday, and then Combs' attorneys will take their turn on Friday, followed by an hour of prosecution rebuttal. The judge will then instruct the jury on relevant legal standards they should apply to reach a verdict. Jury deliberations might not start until next week. As closing arguments began, a prosecutor told the jury that Combs used "power, violence and fear" to rule a criminal enterprise, which facilitated brutal sex crimes as well as kidnapping and arson. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said Combs "doesn't take no for an answer" and "counted on silence and shame" to allow his abuse to continue. She also said he used a "small army" of employees to harm women and then cover it up. Combs, 55, has denied the allegations. He is facing 15 years to life in prison if he's convicted. The high-profile trial, which began May 12, is one of the most closely watched celebrity cases in recent years. After calling on 34 witnesses over seven weeks — including Combs' ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura Fine, and rapper Kid Cudi — the prosecution rested Tuesday. The defense also rested that same day without calling any witnesses, presenting its case for less than 30 minutes. As is common after prosecutors rest at criminal trials, Combs' lawyers made arguments to toss out the charges, arguing the charges weren't proven. The judge said he'll rule at a later date. Charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs Combs has pleaded not guilty to five counts. The first count is racketeering conspiracy, which alleges he "abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct." Prosecutors allege Combs relied on employees, resources and influence of his business empire to create a criminal enterprise that engaged in, or attempted to engage in, "sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for the purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice." The other four counts allege sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday that jury instructions would not need to address allegations regarding attempted arson, attempted kidnapping, or aiding and abetting sex trafficking, since the government "is no longer planning to proceed on these theories of liability." Sean "Diddy" Combs decided to not testify Combs told U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian on Tuesday that after thorough discussions with his attorneys, he decided he wouldn't testify. "That is my decision, your honor," Combs said, adding: "That is solely my decision." Prodded by the judge, he clarified further: "I mean, it's my decision with my lawyers. ... My decision to make. I'm making it." Combs has been active in his defense, often writing notes to his lawyers and sometimes helping them decide when to stop questioning a witness. Earlier this month, Subramanian threatened to potentially have Combs removed from court after the judge said Combs kept making expressions to the jury, including looking at them and "nodding vigorously" during the testimony of graphic designer Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a friend of Ventura Fine's. Prosecutors say Combs used connections to orchestrate "freak-offs" During the first week of the trial, Cassie Ventura Fine was called to the witness stand and testified that Combs pressured her into participating in "freak-offs," drug-fueled episodes where Combs is accused of forcing attendees to perform sex acts with hired sex workers. Prosecutors have cited the events as evidence of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, alleging that Combs relied on employees, associates and his business accounts to fly male sex workers to Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, where his staff set up hotel rooms for the encounters and cleaned up afterward. Over the decade of her on-and-off relationship with Combs, from 2007 until 2018, Ventura Fine said she was part of hundreds of such events. She also testified that Combs was psychologically and physically abusive, as seen in security footage of a 2016 Los Angeles hotel incident in which Combs is shown punching and kicking her. Other early witnesses included a former security director at the hotel who testified that Combs bribed him over the incident, but he didn't accept. Another witness was a manager for a male stripper show who said he was contracted by Combs and Ventura Fine in 2012 to participate in "freak-offs." Combs' attorneys presented the jury with mostly loving messages between Combs and Ventura Fine and argued that she was a willing participant. They said Combs' sexual habits and his "kinky" swinger lifestyle don't amount to sex trafficking. Another ex-girlfriend of Combs, who testified for six days under the pseudonym "Jane," said she felt pressured by Combs to do "hotel nights" with him. She testified she told Combs many times she didn't like the hotel events involving drugs and, at times, multiple male entertainers. The defense countered with messages about her setting up these nights, seemingly excited. Jane said she has been putting them into perspective after beginning therapy three months ago, saying she did them because she loved Combs and it's what he expected of his partner. , , and contributed to this report.
