Turtleboy Sr. Editor Aidan Kearney Found 'Not Guilty'
Aidan Kearney, the blogger also known as @DoctorTurtleboy, was found not guilty of violating a restraining order, he shared on X. The verdict was given in a bench trial in front of Judge Michael J. Pomarole, which Kearney said he agreed to have instead of a jury trial. Mark Bederow, a New York City defense attorney who represents Kearney, shared more details in his own post on X. "Aidan Kearney @DoctorTurtleboy has been found NOT GUILTY in connection with an alleged violation of a restraining order in favor of Lindsey Gaetani. Another great job by co-counsel Tim Bradl," Bederow wrote. However, Kearney is still facing other charges. Bederow noted that he has "3 more to go in Superior Court." In the course of reporting on the Karen Read trial for the murder of a Boston Police officer, Kearney was accused of violating a restraining order when Kearney's ex-girlfriend showed up to the Karen Read trial hearing, which Kearney was attending. According to his attorney Tim Bradl, Kearney 'followed police directions and left the Courthouse to a location approved by the police, and took all good faith effort to comply with the order.' Bradl wrote in a court filing, reported on by 'It is clear from the affidavits that the complainant engineered the entire encounter and had to resort to lying to police when Mr. Kearney acted appropriately and did not violate the order.' Bradl continued, writing, 'She showed up to the Karen Read Court proceedings for the first time, and used the order to flush Mr. Kearney out of the Courtroom.' Today's acquittal is only the the first step for Kearney, who faces several felony charges in Superior Court. Kearney has faced legal battles before. His speech on his blog was famously defended by the ACLU in 2019 in a separate case. Turtleboy Sr. Editor Aidan Kearney Found 'Not Guilty' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: The vision behind Conor Benn's bold £100,000 'Not Guilty' necklace ahead of crunch Chris Eubank Jr showdown
When Conor Benn stepped onto the scales for Friday's weigh-in ahead of his highly-anticipated clash with Chris Eubank Jr, it wasn't just his physical condition that caught the eye — it was the dazzling 'Not Guilty' necklace hanging around his neck. The bold piece wasn't a fashion choice. It was a statement. A declaration from a fighter who has spent nearly two years battling to clear his name after testing positive twice for the banned substance clomifene, a female fertility drug, in 2022. Though Benn always maintained his innocence, the failed tests led to the cancellation of his original fight against Eubank Jr in October 2022. After a lengthy investigation, Benn was eventually cleared to fight in the United Kingdom by the National Anti-Doping Panel, though questions and controversy have continued to swirl. Now, Benn is speaking with his fists — and his jewellery. The striking custom pendant was designed and created by A Jewellers in London, a brand known for crafting statement pieces for celebrities and athletes. Speaking exclusively to Mail Sport, Abtin Abbasi, Director at A Jewellers, revealed the vision behind Benn's new signature piece. 'Conor came to us with a strong and personal vision — he wanted a piece that made a statement,' Abbasi said. 'The idea was to create a custom 'Not Guilty' piece that would showcase his innocence and reflect everything he's stood for through a tough chapter. This pendant is a symbol of truth, resilience, and reclaiming his name.' Benn may be a welterweight, fighting at middleweight for the first time this evening, but the necklace is a heavyweight in more ways than one. Abbasi confirmed that the piece weighs approximately 1kg, giving it what he called a 'solid, high-quality feel.' And it's not just the size that impresses. The pendant is dripping with luxury, set with over 50 carats of D-VVS quality diamonds — the highest grade of diamonds typically used in elite custom jewellery — along with 7 carats of vivid 'pigeon blood' Burmese rubies, some of the rarest and most valuable rubies in the world. Such craftsmanship doesn't come cheap. Abbasi estimates that 'a fully custom piece like this, with the weight, diamonds, and level of craftsmanship involved, would typically start from around £100,000 depending on the final specs and stone quality.' Creating a piece with such meaning took time and precision. Abbasi explained, 'From concept to final polish, the process took eight weeks, with every step carefully handled to make sure it came out exactly as Conor envisioned — bold, clean, and powerful.' Benn's choice to unveil the necklace at the weigh-in was no accident. It was the culmination of months of frustration, fight, and, in his eyes, ultimate vindication.
