Baltimore judge places temporarily hold on over 1,250 Child Victims Act cases
A Baltimore City Circuit Court judge Monday put on hold over 1,250 civil cases filed under the Maryland Child Victims Act pending further guidance from the state's highest court. The administrative order from Administrative Judge and Chief Judge Audrey J.S. Carrión, sought to 'to address the unprecedented influx of cases filed in recent weeks and months' under the law, which eliminated the statute of limitations for civil child sex abuse cases and went into effect in October 2023. The action won't terminate any cases or keep people from filing new cases under the law, Carrión wrote in the order. 'The decision to stay these cases is in large part due to ongoing discussions about possible ways to manage these cases collectively for pretrial and discovery purposes,' she wrote. The Maryland Judiciary's rules committee is considering recommending changes to the state's high court 'to establish a clear process for the circuit courts to efficiently manage the high volume of similarly situated CVA cases,' the order says. The court will wait for 'further guidance' from the rules committee and the Supreme Court of Maryland before the cases can proceed. 'In reaching the decision to temporarily stay these cases, the Court has weighed the understandable desire of parties to proceed with litigating these cases as well as the need for consistency, efficiency, and fairness,' Carrión's order says. An change to the law came into effect June 1, placing new limits on the payouts possible, with the state's liability dropping from a potential $890,000 to $400,000 per claim. Claims against private institutions shrank from a $1.15 million ceiling to $700,000. Leading up to June 1, 'there was a significant uptick in cases' under the law in Baltimore City Circuit Court, the order says. Sun reporter Luke Parker contributed to this story. Have a news tip?

Duki Brings His Electrifying Trap to Viña del Mar, Earns Gaviotas de Plata & Oro
Argentinian trap star Duki lit up the 2025 Viña del Mar International Song Festival on Friday (Feb. 28), making his debut at the Quinta Vergara as the headliner of the urban music night that also featured Puerto Rican hitmaker Eladio Carrión and Chilean artist Kidd Voodoo. Showcasing his impressive flow, Duki kicked off his set with the pulsating 'GIVENCHY,' dressed in jeans, black jacket and T-shirt and silver chains. The face-tattooed singer looked like a rock star accompanied by drums, bass and guitar, while the audience chanted along with him at the top of their lungs. Behind him, fire images were blazing on the huge screens. More from Billboard How Chile's Viña Del Mar Festival Navigated Controversy and a Nationwide Power Outage Yves Discusses Being Unrecognizable in LOONA, Caroline Polachek's Influence at First U.S. Solo Tour Producer Bob Ezrin Renounces U.S. Citizenship, Returns Home to Canada 'Thank you so much, everyone! How are we doing tonight, Viña? Thanks for the love,' he said amid the screams of the audience after performing hits including 'Si Te Sentís Sola,' 'Pininfarina,' 'Además De Mí' and 'Sin Frenos,' his 2021 track with Bizarrap and Carrión. 'A slightly more intimate, more sung moment is coming up. I hope you like it,' he announced shortly after, performing 'Buscarte Lejos,' but soon he had everyone on their feet jumping to 'Harakiri.' With the energy high in the venue, Viña hosts Karen Doggenweiler and Rafael Araneda presented him with the Gaviota de Plata (Silver Seagull). 'This is the first award I've received in my entire career,' said Duki, dedicating it to his followers and his parents, and also thanking urban acts from Chile who helped opened the doors for him in the country. But the show didn't end there. The Argentine star continued with 'Duki: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 50,' which he started a cappella with an impressive flow before the music kicked in. Then came the reggaeton 'Te Traje Flores,' as well as the No. 1 hit on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 'Los del Espacio,' originally performed with LIT Killah, Tiago PZK, Emilia, Rusherking, Big One and FMK. Among others, he sang the rockier 'No Me Llores' and his 2019 trap hit 'Goteo,' a powerful track that alludes to the image of 'dripping' in wealth and style, symbolized by luxury brands like Gucci, Nike, Philippe Patek, Rolex, and Cartier. In the end, Duki didn't take home just the first award of his career — he also received the Gaviota de Oro (Gold Seagull), the highest recognition awarded by the Viña del Mar audience. Visibly moved, Duki wiped away tears, kissed his trophy, and with great humility thanked his fans and his parents again, who proudly watched their son triumph from the front row. 'Thank you for making my dream come true,' he said. To close, the 28-year-old rapper once again had the 'monster' chanting along with 'Malbec,' 'She Don't Give a Fo' and 'Nueva Era,' before disappearing from the stage. Following Duki's performance, Eladio Carrión set the house on fire with a highly energetic performance. Accompanied by a group of dancers and a live band, the Puerto Rican star began with 'Hugo,' and kept the adrenaline high in the Quinta Vergara, where the audience didn't stop jumping and singing one hit after another, including 'Si La Calle Llama,' 'Tata' and his Bad Bunny collab 'Thunder y Lightning.' 'Food evening, Viñaaa!' the artist greeted his fans. 'What a blessing to be able to give you a little love; so many years of love and respect that Chile has given me. Very grateful for the opportunity. And I want to know something: Who came to do trap with me?' The atmosphere became even more lively with 'Sin Frenos,' which the audience chanted from beginning to end. Carrión also greeted viewers around the world — including those watching the exclusive Billboard broadcast in the U.S. — and especially his mother, to whom he dedicated his latest album Sol María. He immediately sang his melodious 'TQMQA,' Spanish acronym for 'I love you more than yesterday,' followed by his Rauw Alejandro collab 'Hey Lil Mama', 'Hola Cómo Vas' and 'Sigue Bailándome,' his successful 2018 dembow with YannC, Darkiel, Myke Towers and Brray. Not to be misses were 'Mi Error,' 'Coco Chanel' (also with Bad Bunny) and 'Mbappé,' for which the singer invited everyone in the audience to put away their cell phones so they could really focus on enjoying the moment. For the grand finale, he sang his powerful collaboration with Bizarrap 'Eladio Carrión: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 40' while a rain of confetti fell on the stage. Viña del Mar 2025 kicked off Sunday with a riveting set by Marc Anthony and since, artists like Myriam Hernández, Ha*Ash, Carlos Vives, Carín León and Incubus have performed at the Quinta Vergara. Viña will continue Saturday (March 1), as the festival concludes with the Colombian group Morat followed by Sebastián Yatra. Both were originally scheduled for Tuesday (February 25), when the show was canceled due to a massive blackout in Chile.
