Former Miss Universe contestant dies in a freak accident
MOSCOW, Aug 17: A model and former Miss Universe contestant, Kseniya Alexandrova, has died at the age of 30, weeks after a tragic accident in which an elk smashed through her car's windshield. The incident occurred in July while Alexandrova was traveling in Tver Oblast, Russia. She sustained severe brain injuries and later died in a Moscow hospital on August 12, according to Russian news outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Alexandrova was in the passenger seat of her husband's Porsche Panamera on July 5 when the elk suddenly ran onto the road. Her husband told the news outlet, 'From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn't have time to do anything.' He added that Alexandrova was unconscious immediately after the impact, saying, 'Everything was covered in blood.' Other drivers stopped to assist, and emergency services arrived within approximately 15 minutes. Despite being transported to a hospital in Moscow, her injuries proved fatal. Alexandrova had married her husband just four months before the accident, as confirmed by her Instagram. In addition to her modeling career, Alexandrova represented Russia in the 2017 Miss Universe pageant and was the first runner-up in the Miss Russia competition earlier that same year, according to Us Weekly. She was also a trained psychologist, having earned a degree from Moscow Pedagogical State University, as noted in a personal Instagram update in November 2022. Alexandrova's modeling agency, Modus Vivendis, confirmed her passing in an Instagram statement on August 13. 'It is with great sadness that we inform you that our colleague and friend, model Kseniya Alexandrova, passed away yesterday evening,' the statement read, translated from Russian. 'Kseniya was bright and talented. She knew how to inspire, support, and give warmth to everyone who was around. For us, she will forever remain a symbol of beauty, kindness, and inner strength,' the agency continued. 'We sincerely mourn and express our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and everyone who had the good fortune to know Kseniya.'

Babysitter gets 100 years to life for providing children to boyfriend for abuse
NEW YORK, Aug 17: A California babysitter was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for providing her boyfriend with at least four young girls in her care to sexually abuse. Brittney Lyon, 32, of Escondido in San Diego County, was sentenced Thursday inside Vista Superior Court to 100 years to life in state prison for her role in the crimes. Prosecutors reported that the victims ranged in age from three to seven years old, with two diagnosed with autism, one of whom was nonverbal at the time of the assaults. The abuse occurred between 2014 and 2016 in the children's homes, as well as at Lyon's and her boyfriend, Samuel Cabrera's residence. Deputy District Attorney Jodi Breton said Lyon was not forced to participate, citing text messages between Lyon and Cabrera in which she appeared to 'barter' the children in exchange for dates with him. Lyon and Cabrera were arrested in July 2016 after one victim, whom Lyon babysat in Carlsbad, informed her mother about the abuse. Investigators subsequently discovered 'hundreds' of videos stored on six hard drives inside a double-locked box in Cabrera's car. The footage reportedly showed Cabrera and Lyon molesting the children, some of whom were drugged and restrained. Additional videos taken by Lyon captured women and girls in changing rooms, bathrooms, and locker rooms, prosecutors said. Lyon and Cabrera had met in high school, where Cabrera allegedly persuaded her to secretly film women in gym locker rooms. Cabrera, 31, was previously convicted of 35 felonies, including multiple counts of child molestation, and sentenced in 2021 to eight life terms without parole plus more than 300 years to life in state prison. Lyon pleaded guilty in May to two counts of lewd acts upon a child, two counts of forcible lewd acts, and admitted to allegations of kidnapping, residential burglary, and sexual assault involving multiple victims. Three of the victims' parents said they met Lyon through a babysitting service, where she highlighted her interest in working with special needs children. One mother reported that Lyon frequently took her child outside the home under the pretense of assisting with a research project for her child development degree. Records indicate Lyon studied child development at California State University, Northridge. In court, parents expressed deep feelings of betrayal and outrage. 'You knew how to win our trust and manipulate to get what you want,' one mother said. Another added, 'You are the most sick and evil monster that society has. What you did to these innocent and most helpless of children, without any conscience, care, or concern, or ounce of remorse, is unfathomable.' The mother of a third victim described enduring a decade of pain, calling the abuse by Lyon and Cabrera a 'wound that has never healed.' During the hearing, Lyon's defense attorney read an apology letter written by the perpetrator to the victims' families.
