Disgraced Police Officer Receives 263 Year Jail Sentence For Multiple S*x Offences

A former police officer has been sentenced to 263 years in prison after he was convicted of raping and sexually assaulting women while on duty.

Daniel Holtzclaw was charged with sexually assaulting and raping 13 women and found guilty of 18 of the 36 charges, including four of the six rape charges.

According to the Mirror, the Oklahoma City officer preyed on women who had been in trouble with the law in the hope their word wouldn’t stand up against his.

The disgraced officer meticulously planned his attacks, running background checks on women who had outstanding warrants, previous arrests or carried drugs or drug paraphernalia.

District Judge Timothy Henderson said Holtzclaw will serve the terms consecutively and denied his request for an appeal bond.

Thirteen women testified in the trial, telling jurors of sexual assaults that ranged from touching over their clothing to forced oral sex and rape.

One of the most shocking testimonies came from a girl who said she was 17 when Holtzclaw raped her on her mother’s front porch.

Holtzclaw, who did not testify in the trial, was fired over the accusations in January 2015 after approximately three years on the job.

“I so desperately want my life back – the life I had before he took it away,” Jannie Ligons, one of his victims told the court in an impact statement.

Another victim, Sherry Ellis, told the court she never thought a police officer would do what Holtzclaw did:

He deserves what he gets. There will never be a day where I don’t think of how I was violated.

This Spine-Tingling Wedding Haka May Move You To Tears

A video of a passionate wedding haka that moved a New Zealand bride to tears has now been viewed more than 13 million times.

The spine-tingling rendition of the traditional Māori dance was performed by guests at Benjamin and Aaliyah Armstrong’s wedding in Auckland last week.

The emotional performance made the bride tear up, before the groom took off his jacket and joined in.

According to the Daily Mail, Mr Armstrong said he wanted to help continue the Māori tradition by including the haka at his wedding.

It was organised by the 23-year-old groom’s best man and led by his older brother, while the whole thing was filmed by the bride’s cousin’s production company.

Ms Armstrong told the BBC she was ‘blown away’ by the performance and that the haka was performed as a sign of respect from her husband’s best man and family.

The dance is used in traditional Māori culture as a war cry to intimidate the enemy – it is famously performed by the All Blacks rugby team before matches – but also at celebrations to welcome special guests.

In the video, the newlyweds watch on with emotion as the groomsmen and guests surprise them with a heartfelt performance of the traditional dance – before joining in themselves.

According to the BBC, Ms Armstrong said women don’t usually perform the haka in Māori culture, but they can do at weddings:

I wasn’t planning on jumping in until one bridesmaid did. I felt the need to show love and respect back and I was really blown away.

The couple posted the video for friends to enjoy but its popularity has taken them by surprise:

We didn’t think it would shoot off, but yesterday afternoon I left my phone alone for about five minutes and I had so many notifications.

Honestly, this is incredible! All the emotions.

Heath Ledger's Joker Diary Is a Haunting Reminder of His Commitment To The Role

Back in 2006, nobody wanted Heath Ledger to play the Joker. How could some pretty boy from 10 Things I Hate About You bring the levels of malice required to truly portray one of the darkest characters in cinema? Well, despite the critics, Christopher Nolan cast him. The rest as they say, is history.

Even today, on the eight anniversary of his untimely death, his staggering performance still has people in awe.

A look inside the diary that Ledger kept while filming his Oscar-winning portrayal of the Joker is a poignant reminder of his possibly deadly level of dedication to the role.

It's widely believed that the late actor's commitment to immersing himself in the Joker's dark psyche played a part in his tragic death in 2008.

The diary was shared by Heath's father, Kim Ledger, in a German documentary entitled Too Young To Die. The contents give us the best insight yet into what was going through Ledger's mind during the filming.

The front cover in itself is a metaphor for the Joker - disarmingly childish and playful on the outside, but twisted within.

The journal reveals the wide array of manic muses Heath Ledger had for his performance, including hyenas, clowns, comic strips and Alex DeLearge from Stanley Kubrick's cult classic A Clockwork Orange.

The Latest Ridiculous Social Media Craze Involves Breasts And Pens

2016 is not even a month old but we’ve already been treated to the first ridiculous social media trend of the year.

The latest craze has seen women from Japan and China using their breasts to hold a pen in place, thus proving they have an ample bosom…apparently.

According to the Daily Mail, the first social media post in China appeared on January 6 with the hashtag #carrypenunderbreast. Hey, it’s nothing if not clear.

Of course, some people have pushed the trend a few steps further, using heavier and bulkier objects to show off…

Weibo user ‘Er Bi Bu Shi Ji Pin’ commented:

What exactly is the standard of being a proper girl? Recently, people in Japan invented a new standard, that is – to hold a pen under your breast. Only when you can do that are you a real girl.

Another user called Ai Tian Yi Sheng’ wrote:

I can’t do it, does it mean I’m not a woman?

What a world we live in…

Is This The Most Credible Theory About Making A Murderer Yet?

Making A Murderer is probably one of the very best TV documentaries Netflix has ever commissioned. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, ok. I agree too.

The story has gripped the whole world and everyone is talking about whether Steven Avery is innocent (yes, he is) and if Ken Kratz, Lt. James Lenk, Sgt. Andrew Colborn and the rest of the utter arseholes are actually involved in an elaborate framing of an innocent man (yes, they are).

While it is painfully obvious to most people that Avery is innocent, the cold hard fact of the matter is that the jury believed him guilty. But then again, what are facts to the American justice system, right?

Since the show aired, people have been looking for more and more evidence to try and get Avery a new trial where the blatant framing can be exposed for what it is a blatant framing. I mean, that bloke Kratz, wouldnt trust him as far as I can throw him and he prosecuted an entire case. The way he says Teresa Halbach too in that limey, high-pitched tone is grimy as fuck, made me cringe so bad.

Anyway, theory after theory has been posted online and everyone has their opinion on what really happened to Teresa Halbach and who actually killed her. And this Reddit user may have just nailed it with probably the most plausible one weve read to date. Can you argue with this?

This is a theory I saw on a Youtube comment and I had to share it...

"The police didn't kill Theresa Halbach. Andrew Colborn located that RAV4 with the assistance of Mike Halbach and Ryan Hillegas who illegally trespassed onto the Avery Salvage Yard on the night of November 3rd 2005. Mike Halbach and Ryan Hillegas suspected something was up since the Avery Salvage Yard was the last place they knew Theresa visited on Oct.31st Halloween day. They went snooping on the property and found the car. They checked the car and found the key in the ignition and blood in the cargo area. Mike or Ryan removed the key from the ignition to ensure that no one could easily move the car off of the Avery property... freaked out about this huge discovery they call the Manitowoc Sheriffs Department. Andrew Colborn fielded the call that night and went out and met Ryan and Mike at the Salvage Yard so he could view the car for himself. Ryan and Mike show him the car and to be certain its Halbachs he "calls" in the plate number to dispatch. Colborn has to "call" in... instead of "radio" in... the plate number to Manitowoc dispatch because he wasn't in his police cruiser at the moment, but rather on foot and in the "field' on the Avery Salvage property. This mistake places Colborn at the scene and in contact with Halbachs RAV4... 2 days before it is officially located on November 5th, 2005, by Pam Sturm.... This is problematic for Colborn because all call and radio transmissions to dispatch are recorded and logged onto the Manitowoc Police server. Andrew Colborn is now operating outside of police protocol at a potential crime scene that he has no official directive to be at. He tells Mike Halbach and Ryan Hillegas to basically STFU about what they found and not mention to anyone that they were ever on the Avery Salvage property that night. Ryan or Mike turns the RAV4 key over to Andrew Colborn. Mike and Ryan are told to go home. Andrew Colborn then immediately calls Lt. James Lenk and briefs him about the discovery of the Halbach car and breaches of protocol he committed on the Avery property, also about Ryan Hillegas and Mike Halbach being there. Lt James Lenk realizing that Colborn's calling in Halbachs plate is a serious mistake with potential consequences orders Andrew Colborn to remove the license plate from Halbach's car and then report to him immediately.

What James Lenk and Andrew Colborn, or the others for that matter, don't realize at this point and are completely unaware of is that Bobby Dassey and Scott Tadych have kidnapped, raped, shot and then burned Theresa Halbach in the privacy of the gravel quarry off of Jambo Rd on Halloween evening. They choose to burn her body to dispose of their DNA evidence of the crimes. They hid Halbach's car in the rear of Avery Salvage and wiped it clean of their prints. I believe it is Scott Tadych's idea to secretly transport the cremains of Halbach from the gravel quarry and dispose them into Steven Avery's burn pit. Scott Tadych transports Halbach's cremains in secret by using one of Barb Jandas burn barrels from her yard. Scott Tadych fails to collect all of Halbach's cremains from the original burn site in the gravel quarry, thus leaving some behind that FBI investigators later find... but he also fails in making certain all of Halbach's cremains are out of Barb Jandas burn barrel after dumping them into Steven Avery's burn pit. This is why investigators found small bits of Halbach in Barb Jandas burn barrel. Thus making a total of three sites where Halbach's cremains are found. Scott Tadych and Bobby Dassey are unaware that Ryan Hillegas and Mike Halbach have found Theresas car on the property and that Lenk and Colborn are now involved and in play with their scheme. .........By shear colossal luck, two completely independent frame jobs targeting one man, Steven Avery were shaping up into the perfect storm. On one front, from Lenk and Colborn regarding the RAV4, ....and on the other unconnected front by Scott Tadych and Bobby Dassey regarding the cremains of Theresa Halbach. One party wasn't aware of the other's involvements at any point during the days leading up to the official discovery of Halbach's RAV4 at the Avery Salvage Yard hence why the investigation and murder trial made zero sense to anyone especially the Jury.

None of the evidence could be connected because it was all unrelated... everybody was guessing. But Buting and Strang had zeroed in on a part of it but couldn't fully form a solid defense to prove it. The Jury couldn't conceive that Manitowoc officers could have conspired to kill Theresa Halbach to frame Steven Avery as Ken Kratz insisted they had to if they wanted to follow the theory the defense presented of the frame up of Steven Avery by Manitowoc officials. And Ken Kratz was right... Imagine Scott Tadych's confused and utter relief when Steve Avery's blood was found in the Halbach car and the RAV4 key found in Steve Avery's bedroom..... he must have been like.... WTF?! A quote from Scott Tadych after Steven Avery is convicted of Theresa Halbach's murder.... "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN" ..... We will see Scott, we will see....................."

This is probably the most credible theory I have come across so far. Notice how the events here not only make logical sense, but they also line up with how many of the parties involved behaved during the documentary i.e how Mike Halbach and Ryan Hillegas seemed like they knew more about what happened than they were leading on. As well as Scott Tadych and Bobby Dassey's bizarre hostility towards Steven Avery.

I can't see another theory topping this one personally.

What do we all reckon then? Is he innocent? Is he guilty? Is Ken Kratz a shitbag who messages domestic abuse victims inappropriate sexts? The argument will rage on. Except about Ken Kratz. He is a shitbag who messages domestic abuse victims inappropriate sexts.

Holly Willoughby And Phillip Schofield Present 'This Morning' Hungover, In Last Night's Clothes

Hangovers at home are awful. Hangovers at work are something akin to torture.

I shudder even thinking about the times I've sat in the office feeling like death warmed up, googling ways to kill myself so I could get out of my shift.

Luckily for me, I can keep my head down at my desk and shield my bloodshot eyes behind the familiar glow of my computer. The same can't be said for This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. Let's face it. Holly and Phillip are certified hedonistic wreckheads - you don't get to host g-rated telly without being one.

The duo turned up to present the ITV daytime show in the same outfits they rocked at last night's National Television Awards. They looked a little worse for wear.

Holly said: "Should we be honest? I haven't been home yet. We came straight here."

The 34-year-old sat with a giant cushion on her knee and then admitted she'd had a spillage at the bash.

"I'm covering up mint sauce on my dress," she said. "This is a lovely dress, but can you see the yellow stains? It's mustard and piccalilli, before you jump to any conclusions."

"We're in a mess," Phillip said. "We can only apologise. We celebrated on behalf of each and every one of you.

"Neither of us should be on television."

We've all been there.

Girl Gives Out Lad's Number Instead Of Her Own And His Responses To The Texts Are Brilliant

It's a wonderful feeling when you successfully manage to get a girl's number. After a night out it's something to work with for the remainder of the weekend and the duration of the week. However, the game is changing. These days, if we're too persistent or a creep - which a lot of us are without realising - there are techniques girls use to easily mug us off.

Take these lads for example. They thought they'd hit the jackpot, only to find out they'd all been given a fake number...
