Judge rules against mother with OnlyFans account who sued over volunteer ban
A circuit judge in Orange County has sided with Orange County Public Schools after a mother of two was 'banned' from any school activities after appearing on the adult site OnlyFans.
In 2021, Victoria Triece, who had been volunteering at her children's elementary school, was told she was banned from participating in any activities where she would have access to children.
In July of 2021, the elementary school principal received an anonymous email from a parent complaining about Triece's work on the site OnlyFans and other social media.

In the email, the parent stated: 'One of the room mothers that spends time at the school is publicly posting pornography thru various sources on the internet.'
In 2023, Triece filed a lawsuit against Orange County Public Schools to get the ban lifted and to be reinstated as a volunteer at the school.

'Everything I devoted myself to was ripped out of my hands with no proper reason,' Triece said in an interview with Channel 9 in 2023.
According to court documents, a judge ruled that Triece does not have 'a right' to volunteer in the ADDitions Program.

California man arrested on child porn allegations sues county after charges dropped
A man arrested last year on allegations of child pornography has filed a lawsuit against San Bernardino County, accusing authorities of uprooting his life, damaging his reputation and potentially targeting him over his sexuality. Nicholas Diaz was arrested last November after his home in Grand Terrace was raided by authorities. Diaz was a longtime foster parent, and as a result of the raid and ensuing charges, lost custody of one of his two adopted children. But the attorneys representing Diaz say those charges were eventually dropped, and his arrest was the result of, at best, misidentification, or, at worst, deliberate targeting of a single gay parent. According to Ontario-based McCune Law Group, Diaz became the subject of a law enforcement investigation after the discovery of his OnlyFans account, an online subscription service typically used for homemade production of adult content. Authorities viewing this account allegedly found a video that they believed featured a minor—an allegation that Diaz's attorneys say was not true, and not sufficient probable cause to warrant a raid at his home and charges. In reality, the lawsuit states, the person depicted in the video was a 'consenting adult male in his 30s.' The lawsuit alleges that warrants were drafted for his arrest through a process of shoddy or biased detective work, ultimately leading to Diaz being taken into custody at his workplace, 'causing him public humiliation and embarrassment in front of his colleagues.' He was eventually taken to his home, where authorities began an extensive search. 'Mr. Diaz offered to voluntarily provide the Sheriff's Department with any information to clear up what he knew was a mistake,' the suit reads. His attorneys also allege that Diaz informed authorities that his children were inside, and that he had requested the 'opportunity to reassure' them. That request was denied, they said, and deputies approached with guns drawn and forcibly entered the home. Diaz's attorneys claim one of his sons was pinned down on his stomach by several law enforcement officers, and had his diabetes monitoring device 'ripped out of the pump, causing the child to go into diabetic shock after he was placed in handcuffs.' The raid, and the detaining of one son, happened in front of Diaz's second adopted son. He was also eventually handcuffed and taken outside alongside his brother, where they were 'made to sit on the curb, exposed to their neighbors.' At the time of his arrest, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said no foster children were at home at the time of the search; there was no mention of Diaz's adopted children. Diaz was eventually booked into jail and held on $80,000 bail, while his photo was disseminated to the public and local media, including KTLA, after authorities stated there may be additional victims who've yet to come forward. The release of his name and photo led to Diaz losing his job, as well as receiving threats of violence against his family, his attorneys said. Diaz also lost custody of his youngest son and was granted only limited visitation rights. The charges were eventually dropped, and last month, three separate claims were filed against San Bernardino County on behalf of him and his two adopted sons. The lawsuits allege physical injury to one of the sons, emotional trauma caused by the raid and the arrest, as well as significant and irreparable damage to Diaz's reputation, career and the family's overall well-being. 'Mr. Diaz's case tells the story of a loving father, gay man, and proud member of the San Bernardino community, who found himself arrested and publicly humiliated for crimes he did not commit,' McCune Law Group wrote in a statement provided to KTLA. 'Mr. Diaz saw his family torn apart by false and biased accusations. His children were physically and mentally harmed by the raid, and by the pain of ongoing separation from their parent. They are owed peace of mind.' But his attorneys say that peace of mind can't be obtained without setting the record straight. 'To protect this family, it is crucial that we tell their true story,' the statement concludes. KTLA has reached out for comment from San Bernardino County and the District Attorney's Office. The D.A.'s Office did not respond to a request for clarification regarding charges against Diaz; a County spokesperson said it would not be appropriate to comment on the ongoing legal matter.

Seminole County Deputy suspended after gun scare near Milwee Middle School
A Seminole County Deputy has been suspended, accused of failing to do her job when she was alerted about a kid with a gun near a middle school campus. Channel 9 obtained a copy of an investigative report that details what happened, it stems from an incident in February. According to the report, Deputy Brianna Mattingly had been working as a school resource officer at Milwee Middle School. According to the report on February 26, a paraprofessional at the school told Mattingly that she saw a former student near campus with a gun. Investigators found Mattingly was careless in how she handled the incident. According to the report, from the time the paraprofessional told the deputy about the possible gun on campus to when she got out of her car and took any action to assess the situation, more than 8 minutes passed. Administrators said Mattingly was lackadaisical and failed to act with urgency. 'Despite having been informed of a potential threat in the immediate vicinity of the school, you failed to act on the reported information immediately… You failed to handle that threat appropriately,' reads the report. While the reported weapon turned out to be a pellet gun, investigators said the deputy didn't know it at the time and she didn't do her job by immediately going after the weapon. According to the documents, Mattingly apologized and took responsibility for the incident. She was suspended without pay for 42.5 hours, placed on a Performance Improvement Plan, and transferred from the Department of School Safety to the Judicial Services Division.
