A 21-year-old South Canterbury man who coerced a 14-year-old girl into having sex had earlier told her age didn't matter “because she looked older” according to evidence presented to the Timaru District Court recently. Name suppression for Jack Ridgway, now 23, was lifted when he was sentenced in June to 11 months’ home detention by Judge Dominic Dravitzki on two charges of sexual connection with a young person 12-16 years, assaults, breaching community work, driving while suspended and reckless driving. “The complainant informed him she was only 14 years old, and he replied that it didn't matter because she looked older,” the summary of facts says about a meeting that happened a month before the offending. On February 19, 2021, the complainant was driven by Ridgway to the Caroline Bay area, in Timaru, where he held her hand and hugged her which she consented to.

AN Amber Alert has been issued for two 14-year-old teenage girls who've been missing for nearly a week as authorities believe they're "in danger". Police are frantically searching for teens Emilee Solomon and Aysha Lynn Cross, who were last seen on June 29 in McGregor, about 20 miles southwest of Waco, Texas . The Texas Department of Public Safety issued the alert five days after the girls were last seen because claiming the "disappearances initially did not meet the department’s criteria for Amber Alerts," KXTV reported. “We are following all leads and doing everything we can to find these young girls,” McGregor police Lt Ron McCurry said. The teens became best friends after getting together shortly before school ended for summer break, Emilee's stepmom, Sara Dunn, told the outlet. Emilee spent Wednesday night at Aysha’s house and called to ask if she could stay longer, Dunn said.

R Kelly's trial was the culmination of decades of accusations, pointing to a predator hiding in plain sight. Rumours and allegations about the now disgraced R&B singer date back to almost the beginning of his career - and yet, he rose to become a chart-topper, a Grammy winner, an artist who filled arenas and collaborated with huge stars; at his height, one of the biggest recording acts in the world. The criminal details of his marriage to Aaliyah in 1994, when she was 15 and he was 27 - now detailed in open court, a former tour manager admitting he bribed an official to get a fake ID in order for the ceremony to go ahead - had always been a well-known secret. And in 2002, Kelly was charged with 21 counts of making indecent images of children. After years of delays to his trial, the singer was acquitted, but the allegations never went away. Claims made over the years were silenced and brushed over, by an industry that wanted to keep the money rolling in, and fans who did … [Read more...] about R Kelly convicted: Everybody knew the accusations – so why did it take 30 years to get justice?

The 57-year-old has been shouted countless coffees over his lifetime by friends who have made the mistake of wagering on who would be faster – him on his bike or his friend in a car. “They used to say ‘I’ll race you to a cafe in town and the loser buys a coffee’, but they won’t even do bets with me any more.” Despite living in a city full of car lovers, the Hamilton East man and freelance photographer has never owned a car and for the last 40 years has been cycling everywhere.

British sports car maker Lotus is to phase out all new petrol models from next year as it shifts to a fully electrified line-up of vehicles. The 74-year-old business said it will be the first established sports car maker to drop petrol models after it announced the Emira will be the last to be powered by a combustion engine. Matt Windle, managing director at Lotus Cars, said: “All new mainstream vehicles from Lotus from 2023 will be fully electric. It means Lotus will become the first established sports car maker in the world to have a fully electrified product range.” It comes ahead of a looming Government ban on the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 as Boris Johnson races to meet the UK’s net zero targets. Lord Grimstone, the investment minister, said: “It is brilliant to see Lotus, a truly iconic UK car brand, leading on the transition to cleaner transport. “I look forward to seeing Lotus continue to innovate and combine electrification with high … [Read more...] about Lotus to stop making new petrol car models from next year

A Rolling Stones appearance at BST Hyde Park was never going to be a lacklustre affair, but Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and co. delivered satisfaction – and then some. For more than two hours Sir Mick – who turns 80 this month, may I add – jumped and jived around the expansive stage, titillating tens of thousands of hit-thirsty punters through their updated setlist, changing his outfit several times and joking the event was a ‘covid super spreader’. ‘Welcome to the American Express British Summer Time Covid super spreader event,’ he shouted, in his telltale Sir Mick expression, to chuckles from the crowd, and with no mention of the fact the legend himself had Covid only last month . Having had the crowd warmed up by Courtney Barnett and Sam Fender, fresh from his Glastonbury appearance, the band’s second appearance on the Great Oak stage for British Summer Time started with a tear-jerking tribute to drummer Charlie Watts, who died last August, as an … [Read more...] about Rolling Stones at BST Hyde Park review: After 60 years Mick still has moves like Jagger as band deliver satisfaction
