Hunted down, raped by sex cult in the woods: Woman's lawsuit against cop father

India Today12-07-2025
In something straight out of a psychological horror film, the daughter of a US police chief has accused her father of repeatedly raping her for more than a decade as part of a "ritualistic" cult that involved neighbours and included horrific ceremonies in the woods.Courtney Tamagny, 20, named her father Leonia Police Chief Scott Tamagny and neighbour Kevin Slevin in a bombshell lawsuit, which details disturbing claims of abuse that allegedly began when she was 4 years old, the New York Post reported.advertisementAccording to court documents, Courtney Tamagny claims her father and Slevin abused her in their home, alongside "ritualistic" worshippers in the woods near their house. Her father allegedly threatened to murder her mother if she ever spoke up.
The lawsuit describes chilling scenes. "[Courtney was brought] into the woods in Rockland County New York, and there was what appeared to be other middle-aged men present with masks on their faces," the suit claims."She recalls there being fire and animals being burned, and they would chant as if ritualistic." It further alleges, "She was sexually assaulted in those woods by defendant Slevin, defendant father, and some of the other men present."Chief Tamagny and Slevin have denied the allegations, stating that the claims were thoroughly investigated by authorities and found to be unfounded. Slevin has since filed a countersuit against Courtney Tamagny for defamation.The alleged abuse reportedly began in 2009 and continued until 2020, by which time Courtney was 15. The lawsuit also claims that both of Courtney's sisters were subjected to similar abuse, with their father allegedly using drugs to sedate them before assaulting them when their mother was absent or asleep.Courtney Tamagny claims she suppressed memories of the abuse for years as a survival tactic, only beginning to recall them after a doctor's visit for genital pain prompted questions about sexual abuse, triggering flashbacks. Her therapist eventually reported the alleged abuse to authorities in 2022.In an appearance on the podcast 'We're All Insane', Courtney opened up about the abuse, claiming that generations of her father's "bloodline" were involved in a satanic cult with numerous neighbours.She described "ritualistic" rapes of her and her siblings, alleged child trafficking, and children being burned alive in local woods. According to The Sun, she also spoke of "games" that "were not games," including one called "Hunter and Gatherers" where children were allegedly released into the woods to hide, then tracked down and assaulted by cult members.On the podcast, Courtney claimed the neighbourhood cultists used "tunnels" to conduct their rituals, which allegedly involved "taking kids' blood," "drum circles," and "burnings" of "animals, animal skins, humans as well," intended to terrify victims into silence.advertisementBoth Chief Tamagny and Slevin have strongly refuted the allegations. Slevin's attorney told the New York Post that investigators found "no basis at all for Courtney's outrageous allegations," calling them "a fantasy made up in her mind."Chief Tamagny's attorney also slammed the allegations as "completely false and defamatory."- EndsMust Watch

‘Out of touch': Mamdani's old prison remarks resurface; law enforcement slams NYC hopeful

Zohran Mamdani (AP) New York mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani previously questioned the 'purpose' of jails and prisons, drawing sharp criticism from law enforcement officials on Friday, who condemned the remarks as 'out of touch' and potentially dangerous. 'I think that frankly, I mean, what purpose do they serve, right?' Mamdani said in August 2020 when a co-host of 'The Far Left Show' asked him whether he believed prisons were obsolete, reported the New York Post. 'I think we have to ask ourselves that … I think a lot of people who defend the carceral state, that defend the idea of it and the way it makes them feel, they're not defending the reality of it and the practices that are part and parcel of it,' Mamdani added. 'Because if you actually break it down … how many people come out the prison system better than they went into the prison system?' — EndWokeness (@EndWokeness) The clip, which resurfaced on social media this week after being posted by the 'End Wokeness' account and widely circulated in conservative circles, sparked backlash within the law enforcement community. In the interview he asked 'how much harm is actually being prevented versus created' while referring to incarceration of offenders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

'It's scary that a mayoral candidate could be this out of touch with the realities of living in communities that have historically experienced violence and crime,' a source said, as per the New York Post. 'Sounds like he will change his tune once he realizes how unhinged that sounds in the real world.' 'It's the poor neighborhoods that the stalker, domestic abuser, and shooting recidivist will return [to],' said another law enforcement source. 'But the rules of civil society that make this city the luxury item most of Zohran's constituency want to live in is a product of that, bad people in jail so they can pretend they live on a movie set.' 'Letting criminals walk the streets without any repercussions is not repairing anything,' said a Manhattan cop. Mamdani has previously expressed his stance on prisons stating, 'White supremacy has many faces, from the police & prison systems in America to occupation & apartheid in Palestine,' he posted on X in 2020. GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa, who is set to face Mamdani in the November general election, denounced the resurfaced clip, calling it 'absolutely preposterous.' 'Of course we need jails to keep dangerous individuals off our streets,' Sliwa stated. 'But he is no different than Eric Adams who is shutting down Rikers or Andrew Cuomo who pushed to close it while celebrating the shutdown of over 18 state prisons and passing laws that coddle criminals and let them avoid the jail time they deserve.' Zohran Mamdani has defeated Dormer governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary in New York City. The general elections are scheduled for November.

‘Of all places, you chose the whitest one?': Black American woman moved to Russia calling it ‘safe haven', gets beaten by racist neighbours; social media reacts

(Photo: X) A Black American woman who once said she felt 'safe' in Russia has now revealed that she and her child were attacked by racist neighbours in Moscow. Francine Villa had moved from the United States to Russia, hoping to escape racial discrimination. However, in a viral video, she revealed that her dream had turned into a nightmare after the assault. Villa claimed both she and her 2-year-old baby were brutally beaten by locals in a racist attack, reports New York Post. She also said that the neighbours hurled racial slurs at her in Russian. The incident has shocked many who remember her earlier praise of life in Russia. Villa had previously shared her experience of moving to Moscow in the 2020 documentary 'Black in the USSR', which aired on Russian state media outlet RT. At the time, she spoke warmly about the country, saying, 'I feel free living in Russia, because in Russia, no matter what time it is, I can walk outside and I'm safe.' Five years later, she says that belief has been shattered. In her video, with a seemingly bloodied mouth and visible injuries, Villa said the attack was not only terrifying but felt like a cruel twist, as it happened in the country she believed would be her safe haven." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Successful Way of Intraday Trading is "Market Profile" TradeWise Learn More Undo 'The fact that the attack occurred in her homeland is an extra painful blow,' she added. In the video, the neighbours could be seen blocking Villa from entering her own apartment, demanded her identity, and asked how long she had been living in Russia. They also cut off the electricity, according to Villa. Social media users have reacted with concern and sympathy, with many pointing out the irony of someone fleeing racism in the US only to encounter it in Russia. Others have pointed out that moving to another country doesn't always mean you can escape discrimination. "Why didn't she go to Africa?" said one user on X, using casual racism to mock her. Another said: "Why Russia of all places?" "I mean people who live in Russia even want to leave Russia and she decided to move there!" added another user. Another quipped: "of all places ??? you went to the whitest one ????"

US Man Wearing Large Metallic Chain Sucked Into MRI Machine

A US man suffered serious injuries after he was sucked into an MRI machine, having entered the room without permission while wearing a metal item. According to the Nassau County Police Department, the incident took place at Nassau Open MRI in the village of Westbury around 4:30 pm local time on Wednesday (Jul 16). The 61-year-old man entered the magnetic resonance imaging room while the machine was in progress, according to a report in New York Post. He was wearing a large metallic chain around his neck, causing him to be immediately sucked into the machine, which has a massive magnet in it. As per the authorities, the man suffered a medical episode after he was forcefully pulled into the machine. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he's listed in critical condition with unknown injuries. It remains unclear how he gained access to the medical suite during an active scan. An investigation has been launched to probe how he gained access to the room. How do MRI machines work? The MRI machines are designed to detect disease or ailments using powerful magnets to create a strong magnetic field to scan the body and produce images of its "non-bony parts or soft tissues". The magnetic strength extends beyond the machine and exerts a powerful force on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetisable objects. The patients are carefully placed inside the machine after removing all metallic objects, jewellery and informing the technicians about any implants or medical conditions.
