Man planned sex acts with girl, told her he's ‘built like Spongebob,' PA cops say
An Indiana man is accused of trying to meet a runaway teen for sex acts, but it really was police waiting for him, officials say. James Raber of Arlington is facing charges of attempted child molestation and child solicitation, Randolph County court records show. Raber is 63 years old, WXIN reported. Over the course of several weeks, Raber sent sexually explicit messages through Facebook Messenger to a 13-year-old girl named Steph — but Steph was actually a fake profile used by a detective with the Randolph County Sheriff's Department, according to a probable cause statement filed May 30. In the highly graphic messages, Raber repeatedly told Steph about sex acts he wanted to do with her, according to the statement. 'How's my sexy girl this morning?' Raber asked in a May 14 message, the statement said. The detective responded about 12 hours later as Steph, saying she had run away from home and was 'hiding' at a male friend's home. Raber 'constantly' asked her if she was having sex with the friend, said that he was jealous and that she should stay with him instead, and could stay with him 'long term' if she wanted, the statement read. He asked her if she would meet with him in person, documents read. She agreed and they made plans to meet at a Village Pantry convenience store in Farmland, at which point they would leave together and get a hotel, the detective said. On May 29, the day of the meeting, Raber described himself to Steph, documents read. 'Now l'm a very big tall guy, 6'4' 295lbs, I'm built like SpongeBob,' he said, according to documents. 'So if you ever had a fantasy about … SpongeBob, that's me'. Raber stopped at a nearby bar and had a beer, then parked at the Village Pantry, the statement read. Police pulled in right after and arrested him, according to the detective. He was booked into the Randolph County Jail, records show. Randolph County is a roughly 80-mile drive northeast from Indianapolis.

Emmerdale in another schedule shake-up as soap to air an earlier extended episode TONIGHT
EMMERDALE is set to air an earlier extended episode TONIGHT in a schedule shake-up. Last night's instalment was pushed back due to ITV's coverage of the UEFA Women's Nations League. 4 4 4 Fans will be treated with an hour long instalment tonight to make up for the lost episode. It will be airing on screens from 7pm until concluding at 8pm. Viewers had been left desperate for answers as Monday's episode ended on a tense cliffhanger. Ruby Fox-Miligan confessed to the police that she killed her abusive father, Anthony Fox. Upon hearing a body had been recovered from the dredged village lake, Ruby and her family were left panicked. Believing her days were numbered, she snuck away from home to give herself up. Ruby killed Anthony – who had molested her as a child and even fathered her daughter, Steph – in January, although initially Aaron Dingle was believed to have done it. Although Aaron did brutally batter him, – leaving Aaron to recruit John Sugden to help him dispose of the body. Viewers are aware the body in the lake is actually Nate Robinson, who hasn't been seen in the Dales since September last year. In February, the soap revealed Nate's true fate after seemingly departing for Shetland. A hen party crashed into the icy lake, which is when fans spotted the body for the first time. It was only a bracelet from Nate's daughter Frankie that revealed his identity. John Sugden was later revealed to have killed Nate accidentally - before disposing of his body in the lake. The army medic has since become one of the show's most acctive killers – also offing his ex-boyfriend on his wedding day to Aaron. Darkest soap storylines Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock... EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) - Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca's adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police. Emmerdale: Holly's drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) - In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale's first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose. Hollyoaks: Luke's rape (2000) - Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap's first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs - who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance. Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) - Just a mere mention of 'Richard Hillman' is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it's not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn't. Ruby, Aaron and John had been keeping quiet about the cover-up. However, Ruby's husband Caleb and his half-siblings Cain and Chas Dingle were later brought into the fold. Will Ruby's confession inadvertently bring down her co-conspirators? Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

NBA star Steph Curry says he struggles with impostor syndrome
Steph Curry struggles with impostor syndrome. The 37-year-old basketball player is a four-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), an NBA Finals MVP, and a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP but insisted that he is still "human like everybody" so sometimes has moments of self-doubt. He told CNBC: "I'm human like everybody. "You have doubts about yourself, or you have impostor syndrome at times." Asked if he has impostor syndrome, he added: "At times, yeah." However, Steph - who is married to TV chef Ayesha Curry and has Riley 12, Ryan, nine, Canon, six, and 12-mont-old Caius with her - explained that his idea of "impostor syndrome" is more of a worry that he is doing enough for his loved ones, and if he is maximsing his full potential. He said: "It's an idea of, 'Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?' 'Are you fulfilling your full potential in all different areas that I've set out to do?" Ayesha previously revealed that she has the same struggles when it comes to her own career, which has seen her launch 'Ayesha's Home Kitchen' on FoodNetwork, but has also worked as an actress and recently starred alongside Lindsay Lohan in 'Irish Wish'. She told People: "I have terrible imposter syndrome, and [Steph] is always there to encourage me, remind me, uplift me, me, and be like, 'Hey, what do you need today?' So from that perspective, he's always there and kind of my sounding board. At the time , Steph was promoting her skincare venture and noted that it all took inspiration from "beautiful ingredients" found in her family's native Jamaica. She said: "I felt like what you put in your body you can put on your body, and there has to be some sort of efficacy from all of these beautiful ingredients that come from where my family's from in Jamaica, and so we started to do a deep dive and quickly realized there are a lot of ingredients that aren't mass market right now that are really effective for the skin."
