🦹♂️ LVMPD and FBI Joint Operation Results in 18 Arrests for Child Exploitation in Henderson
A multi-agency operation aimed at targeting online child sex predators resulted in the arrest of 18 individuals in Henderson. The operation, conducted on April 26 and 27, was a collaborative effort involving the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force. Participating agencies included the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), FBI, Henderson Police Department, and others.
Undercover agents posed as minors online and set up meetings after being solicited by adult suspects, leading to the arrests. Most of the individuals face charges of luring a minor with a computer for sexual purposes. Two of the arrested, Victor Quintana and Jeremiah Lopez, face additional charges of attempting to sexually assault a minor under 14.
Authorities urge anyone who may have been a victim or has relevant information to contact the LVMPD Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
🐴150th Kentucky Derby: Mystik Dan Edges Rivals in Three-Horse Photo Finish
The 150th Kentucky Derby witnessed a thrilling finish as Mystik Dan narrowly won by a nose, edging out Sierra Leone and Forever Young in one of the closest races in Derby history. Mystik Dan, a long shot with 18-1 odds, charged through an opening on the rail to gain a decisive lead. Despite a late challenge from Sierra Leone and Forever Young, Mystik Dan held on for the victory, securing a $3.1 million share of the $5 million purse. The race went to a photo finish, making it the closest Derby decision since 1996.
Jockey Brian Hernandez, whose boot struck the rail during the ride, teamed up with trainer Kenny McPeek for the victory. McPeek became the first trainer to win both the Kentucky Oaks and Derby in the same year since 1952. The Gasaway family and Daniel Hamby III own Mystik Dan, which they bred themselves. Sierra Leone and Forever Young finished second and third, respectively. Fierceness, the 3-1 favorite, struggled and finished 15th.
🎶 Duran Duran Bassist Reflects on 'A View to a Kill' and Favorite Bond Themes
John Taylor, bassist of Duran Duran, reflects on the band's iconic James Bond theme "A View to a Kill," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1985 and remains a fan favorite. Despite this, Taylor prefers other Bond themes like "Diamonds Are Forever," "Live and Let Die," and Billie Eilish's "No Time to Die."
A noted Bond enthusiast, Taylor had suggested that Duran Duran write a theme song when "A View to a Kill" was being planned. He sees Bond themes as "super-cool song contests" and appreciates their evolution. Taylor remains confident in the band's setlist, saying that songs like "Ordinary World," "Rio," and "Girls on Film" are must-plays, though they occasionally rotate tracks.
Duran Duran, consisting of Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Simon LeBon, and Roger Taylor, performed at the Encore Theater in Las Vegas on May 3rd and 4th. The band's previous Halloween show at the venue inspired their 2023 album, "Danse Macabre," and a concert film expected to be released by next Halloween. Taylor praises the opportunity to experiment creatively in Las Vegas.
🛒 Mall-Based Retailer Rue 21 Collapses, Files for Third Bankruptcy
Rue 21, a retailer specializing in teen and tween clothing, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, marking its third such filing. The company, which is majority-owned by Blue Torch Capital, plans to shut down all of its 540 stores within the next four to six weeks. Its website is also currently inactive. The brand has faced financial struggles, partially attributed to a decline in mall traffic. Rue 21 initially filed for bankruptcy in 2002 as Pennsylvania Fashions and rebranded in 2003. It filed again in 2017 and has since tried to focus on inclusive sizing. Despite these efforts, shifting consumer habits and reduced enthusiasm for indoor mall shopping have contributed to its decline.
