Katie Price makes desperate plea as she reveals chaotic attic full of clothes and bin bags
Katie Price needs to perform a big clean up having admitted she fears being left homeless after her rental landlord has decided to sell the property she currently lives in Desperate Katie Price sent out an SOS after being buried by clothes in her chaotic attic as she faces another house move. She launched a plea after venturing into her loft where she was met with more rails and rails of her garments and shoes with bin bags packed full of other items making it impossible to move around. Katie is going to need to set aside some time to wade through it all - and it seems like she needs a hand. She took to SnapChat to show her followers the mega mission ahead of her as she has to decide what to keep and what to sell or offer to charity shops. Showing everyone the mountain of clothes she must wade through, she didn't seem impressed by the size of the task ahead of her. Giving a glimpse at her clogged attic, 47-year-old Katie said: 'I've got all this to sort out. Clothes everywhere. Clothes, clothes, clothes. Shoes, clothes, clothes. I can't keep up with it all! It's all rails of it, there's clothes everywhere! So annoying. All needs to be sorted out." She may need to get a move on as she faces the prospect of having to move out of her rental property. The former glamour model turned TV star has been extremely open about her living situations in the past, having been forced to give up her Mucky Mansion home due to mounting debts. Now, Katie currently resides in a mock Tudor style, four-bedroomed property in Sussex, where she has lived for eight months. Katie rents the home for around £5,000 per month. But now, Katie has opened up about her future in the property and admits she's come to a crossroads. Despite claiming to rake in a fortune from her lucrative adult subscription page and brand deals, Katie has said she's struggling to find a guarantor so she can rent a new house. "I was supposed to have this place for about two years," she said of her current home, before adding: "The guy who owns it – such a nice guy – he let me have the place even though I didn't have a guarantor. "And I've been on time with all the payments, as you should, bills and everything. But now he wants to sell it." Speaking on her podcast, The Katie Price Show with sister Sophie, Katie continued: "It p****s me off. Some houses I look at, I can't get a guarantor. Some people don't earn money like me to be a guarantor. "One house I do want, the landlord wants six months' rent up front in case I miss a payment and he also wants a guarantor – even though I've got the best reference ever from this guy. It's so annoying. Because that guy has read the papers and that, I get judged on it. It's so annoying." Sophie attempted to clear the air with Katie, explaining: "Nowadays with renting they are asking for more, it is more competitive." But Katie, who has never shied away from her struggles revealed: "The truth is people don't realise I got into all that bankruptcy stuff not because I didn't want to pay but because I had a breakdown." The TV star has been declared bankrupt on two occasions, firstly in November 2019 and the second in March 2024. Both of which, were discharged. Her former home, Mucky Mansion, which she purchased in 2014 from Francis Maude was put up for sale in December after she was evicted due to financial troubles. Earlier this month, Katie explained she had started to look for a new house on Rightmove after being informed her landlord wanted to sell the home. She commented: "I've got to move house as the guy who owns it wants to sell the house now. So, I've got to go on the house hunt again. "I might go closer to the kids' school. I am gonna talk to the guy, he might let me stay there a bit longer but he might not." However, if she can't stay, Katie is eager to move closer to her children's schools. In December, she finally found a buyer for Mucky Mansion after she cut the price on two occasions. The home was initially listed for £1.5million, before being lowered to £1.35 million.

Jury deliberating in sex abuse case against former CPS dean
Cook County prosecutors on Wednesday asked a jury to hold a former Chicago Public Schools dean accountable for allegedly using his position of power to coerce a student into a sexual relationship. One day earlier, jurors began hearing testimony on Tuesday in the case against Brian Crowder, 43, who is facing multiple felony sex charges that allege he had a relationship with the student from around 2013 to 2016. The conduct allegedly took place while her was serving as an associate dean at the Social Justice High School, a part of Little Village Lawndale High School. In their final pitch to the jury at the Leighton Criminal Court Building, the state displayed a smiling photograph of a girl and asked the jury to remember that she was a child. 'She was young. She was vulnerable,' said Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Kofoed. 'The defendant saw that saw a young impressionable girl was looking for love, and he moved in on that.' The Tribune is not naming the woman because she is alleged to be the victim in a sexual assault case. During closing arguments, though, Crowder's attorneys called the relationship a 'friendship' and said the case was a matter of 'he said/she said.' They argued that she sought money from Crowder. 'You're not called upon to decide whether Brian Crowder should be employed at Chicago Public Schools,' attorney Barry Sheppard said. 'Bad judgment doesn't make you a criminal.' The jury began deliberating around 4 p.m. The woman, who is now 26, testified for hours on Tuesday, describing how Crowder first approached her in the school's lunch room when she was around 15 and asked her for her SnapChat username. She was initially confused, she said, but he reassured her he wouldn't add her as a friend. 'That makes sense in my head because he was my school dean,' she testified. But he did connect with her on the app, and began sending her inappropriate messages, she said. They soon developed a relationship. The woman told the jury that Crowder forced her to get abortions when she got pregnant twice. She wept as she watched the closing arguments a day after she testified. 'He wasn't just a teacher. At that point he was the dean of discipline,' Kofoed said, adding that he controlled whether she received punishments at school. 'He controlled the relationship because he was in power.' During the state's rebuttal, Assistant State's Attorney John Sviokla addressed the defense's argument of a financial motivation. 'She looked to be made whole in some capacity,' he said. The case went before a jury as CPS' handling of sexual abuse allegations has been the subject of scrutiny in recent years and as Crowder is also named in a 2024 lawsuit that accuses CPS of failing to protect its students. In 2018, the Chicago Tribune's 'Betrayed' investigation revealed failures in how the nation's fourth largest school district handled allegations of abuse, including neglecting to report accusations to police or child welfare investigators and failing to conduct effective background checks. The civil complaint filed by the woman against Crowder and the school district heavily references the Tribune's investigation and alleges that CPS at the time 'did not track child abuse by its employees or agents in a publicly available format.' The suit also accuses employees at Little Village Lawndale High School of failing to act when an inappropriate relationship between Crowder and the student was noticed by others who 'would joke about how much time was spent alone' between Crowder and the student. At one point, the suit alleges, the student told a teacher about her relationship with Crowder, but the teacher never took steps to report or stop the abuse.

Former CPS dean stands trial accused of sexually abusing a student
While serving as a dean of discipline in the Chicago Public Schools system, Brian Crowder approached a 15-year-old student in the lunch room at a Little Village school and asked her for her SnapChat username, the woman, now an adult, testified on Tuesday. Slightly confused, the woman said she gave him the information for her social media account. That led him to start messaging her, she said, before entering into a relationship with her. Crowder began standing trial this week on charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault and other felonies after Cook County prosecutors accused him of engaging in a sexual relationship with a student from around 2013 to 2016 while serving as an associate dean at the Social Justice High School, a part of Little Village Lawndale High School. The case goes before a jury as the handling of sexual abuse allegations by Chicago Public Schools has been the subject of scrutiny in recent years and as Crowder is also named in a 2024 lawsuit that accuses CPS of failing to protect its students. Attorneys opened their cases on Tuesday at the Leighton Criminal Court Building before the former student, now 26, testified for hours, telling jurors that Crowder engaged her in a relationship and then coerced her into having two abortions. The Tribune is not naming the woman because she is alleged to be the victim in a sexual assault case. Growing occasionally emotional, the woman began her testimony by recalling her sophomore year of high school. When Crowder had asked about about her Snapchat, a social media platform in which messages and photos usually disappear after a time, she said she asked him why her wanted her account information. 'He said, it's not like I'm going to add you,' she said. 'That makes sense in my head because he was my school dean.' But he quickly began messaging her photos and telling her he wanted her, she said, adding that they eventually began talking every day and engaging in a sexual relationship. He offered her alcohol, she said, and he would pass her notes during school suspensions, which he was in charge of monitoring. The woman told jurors that Crowder got her pregnant twice and badgered her to get abortions, even though she preferred to continue the pregnancies. 'He said there's no way I could have the baby,' she said. 'He would text me day and night all day to get me to not have this baby because he was going to go to jail and lose his son.' Because she was underage, she could not consent to the abortions herself. Crowder, using false names, signed the consent forms, she said. 'I was just upset and emotional,' she said. 'He was just very relieved.' In 2018, the Chicago Tribune's 'Betrayed' investigation revealed failures in how the nation's fourth largest school district handled allegations of abuse, including neglecting to report accusations to police or child welfare investigators and failing to conduct effective background checks. The civil complaint filed by the woman against Crowder and the school district heavily references the Tribune's investigation and alleges that CPS at the time 'did not track child abuse by its employees or agents in a publicly available format.' The suit also accuses employees at Little Village Lawndale High School of failing to act when an inappropriate relationship between Crowder and the student was noticed by others who 'would joke about how much time was spent alone' between Crowder and the student.
