Laceyville man sentenced for child porn
BRADFORD COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The Bradford County District Attorney says a Laceyville man was sentenced to two years in prison for possession of child porn. On Friday, Bradford County District Attorney Richard Wilson said 19-year-old Blake Andrew of Laceyville was sentenced to prison for almost two years with probation on possession of child porn charges. Wearing orange in remembrance of gun violence survivors Court documents say Manning was charged with the offense in October 2024, after an investigation by Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) uncovered pictures of two 14-year-old girls on Manning's cellphone. Manning will also be monitored under the Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act, the Keystone State's version of Megan's Law, for 15 years. This requires Manning to regularly report to PSP as part of his sentence, officials explained. Manning is housed at the Bradford County Correctional Facility. If he violates his sentencing conditions, authorities say his supervision could be revoked and he could be resentenced to harsher sanctions, including State Prison. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Paedo who avoided jail due to transgender status is hauled back to court for breaching sex order
A PAEDO who avoided jail due to their transgender status has been hauled back to court for breaching a sexual prevention order. Peter Selby was handed a suspended sentence after being caught with a sick stash of material of children as young as three. 2 At the time, a judge told the 71-year-old: "You are someone who identifies as transgender and the impact of custody would be significant for you in the circumstances." Selby has now been dragged back to the court for breaching a sexual harm prevention order just nine months after it was imposed. The fiend, who was referred to as "he" in court, pleaded guilty to the offence. But Selby once again avoided jail and was handed a ten month sentence, suspended for 18 months. Judge Robert Adams said: "You would undoubtedly be at risk of physical or sexual assault in custody because of your presentation in a male prison." Newcastle Crown Court heard police had gone to Selby's home to carry out a risk review in March 2023 and his internet enabled devices were inspected. Prosecutor Rachael Glover said: "During a search of the laptop, the officer found VPN software downloaded to the device and set up with the name of the defendant along with his email address. "A further search by the officer in relation to the settings showed the VPN was activated and the defendant was arrested." The court heard no illegal activity or images were detected on the device but a VPN can be used to mask IP addresses. There was no mention of Selby's transgender identity at today's hearing but Judge Adams told him: 'You have been wearing women's clothing for the last 30 years. "Your family have distanced themselves from you as a result." Selby, who was born male, admitted three charges of making indecent images of children and one of possessing extreme pornography in June 2022. He was found to be in possession of more than 125,000 child abuse images, which he found using sickening search terms. The judge at the time said he was assessed in a pre-sentence report as being "manageable in the community". She added: "You identify as transgender and that has caused issues for you and anxiety for you in how you would cope with that if you were sent immediately to prison.'

As prison ends for Calgary rapist, court tries to manage 'high risk' to community
Social Sharing Two weeks after his 12-year prison sentence expired for the rape and kidnapping of a Calgary teenager, Corey Manyshots was placed on 23 court-ordered conditions, including electronic monitoring, designed to protect the community. The rare step — reserved for only the most high-risk offenders — was taken Thursday so that the Calgary Police Service's high-risk offender unit can help manage Manyshots' release into the community. Manyshots' risk is complicated by a number of mental health issues, including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), schizophrenia, low IQ and substance abuse. In 2014, Manyshots and his brother Cody kidnapped a 17-year-old girl from a Taradale bus stop and took her to their home, where they raped her for hours before she was able to escape when they fell asleep. Manyshots' sentence expired on April 25, meaning there would be no court or parole board-imposed conditions in place. On April 24, police took him into custody so details of a peace bond could be worked out. A peace bond is imposed when there are reasonable grounds to fear an offence will be committed. In this case, Manyshots has been deemed a high risk to sexually reoffend. Cody Manyshots has several months left on his sentence but the Crown is also expected to seek a peace bond in his case as well. 'Current and ongoing risk' Manyshots, his lawyer and prosecutor Janice Walsh appeared Thursday before Justice Michelle Christopher, who ultimately imposed the two-year peace bond. "Mr. Manyshots continues to be a current and ongoing risk to the community," said Walsh, the head of the prosecution's high-risk offender unit. The peace bond requires Manyshots to wear an electronic ankle monitoring device and includes 22 other conditions imposed by Justice Christopher. Those conditions include having no contact with his brother Cody, reporting to the CPS high-risk offender team, participating in treatment, providing urine samples and abiding by a curfew of 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. 'Significant abuse and neglect' Manyshots is also prohibited from possessing weapons, consuming drugs and alcohol, and leaving Alberta unless approved. He cannot associate with anyone engaged in substance use or criminal behaviour, and he cannot date anyone unless they are aware of his criminal background. Finally, Manyshots cannot have contact with anyone under the age of 18 unless he is supervised by an adult who has been approved by the high-risk offender program. Defence lawyer Olusola Adabonyan consented to the peace bond and its conditions. Walsh outlined Manyshots' background, which involved "a very difficult upbringing" and "significant abuse and neglect." Supervision and structure Justice Christopher heard that Manyshots has severe FASD, intellectual disability and is "unlikely to succeed if left to his own devices," according to a report authored by forensic psychiatrist Dr. David Tano. Manyshots has required significant structure, including supervision, and is not considered capable of living independently. Walsh noted that Manyshots "doesn't have capacity to develop positive, meaningful relationships with family and friends" and "finds it difficult to understand feelings of others." The key factor in preventing future involvement with the criminal justice system, said Walsh, is securing an environment for Manyshots that involves 24-hour supervision and structure. 'Good luck' Court heard that Manyshots will continue to live in a halfway house until the end of the month. At that point, CPS's high-risk offender program will help find a suitable housing situation and programming. After imposing the conditions, Justice Christopher addressed Manyshots directly, acknowledging his cognitive and psychiatric conditions. "You are also a victim here," said Christopher. "You didn't deserve to be born with fetal alcohol disorder, it affects every aspect of your life. That's why you need help in the community." "I do wish you good luck."
