Annulation d'un premier mariage entre deux hommes hétérosexuels

Agence France-Presse

Deux hommes, amis de longue date et hétérosexuels, avaient annoncé leur intention de se marier pour profiter des avantages fiscaux d'une toute récente loi autorisant le mariage homosexuel au Canada, mais ils ont finalement renoncé à leur projet, ont-ils annoncé à l'AFP.

Bryan Pinn, 65 ans et Bill Dalrymple 56 ans, tous deux divorcés sont les meilleurs amis du monde depuis plus de 20 ans.

L'idée de se marier, raconte Bryan Pinn, est née un soir dans un bar, après quelques bières, de la réflexion d'un habitué qui leur avait lancé: "Vous avez l'air d'un vieux couple".

Pourquoi pas, se sont alors dit les deux hommes, tirer avantage de certaines dispositions fiscales de la loi sur le mariage homosexuel. Le Canada est devenu fin juillet le quatrième pays à reconnaître l'union entre personnes du même sexe, après les Pays-Bas, la Belgique et l'Espagne.

La loi ne précise pas que les deux conjoints doivent être homosexuels. "Nous nous sommes dit que nous pourrions nous acheter une maison et vivre ensemble", dit M. Pinn.

Une lettre envoyée une lettre au Toronto Sun expliquant les "bénéfices en matière d'impôts" que pouvait rapporter un mariage entre deux hommes, avait fait connaître leur projet". Celui-ci avait été évoqué par plusieurs media, leur attirant en même temps toute une série de réactions.

Certaines étaient amusées, d'autres franchement haineuses, les traitant "d'hérétiques et d'homophobes". Les deux hommes ont alors estimé que le jeu n'en valait pas la chandelle et ont renoncé à leur projet.

"C'est une fantaisie qui a échappé à tout contrôle. Nous ne voulons pas être des boucs émissaires", a expliqué Bryan Pinn.

Il a ajouté en plaisantant qu'il n'aurait de toutes façons pas pu se marier avec son ami, après avoir découvert "qu'il lave son linge dans l'évier et le met à sécher dans la douche". "Pourquoi se marier et ruiner une amitié de vingt ans", a-t-il dit.

Woman arrested in Hempstead school brawl

July 14, 2005

It was after midnight and the Hempstead school district offices were still open Wednesday, with a pair of Nassau police detectives snapping photographs of a broken black coffee cup emblazoned with the district logo.

The ceramic shards strewn across the front steps of the building were evidence in a criminal investigation -- one that ended with a teaching assistant arrested for allegedly assaulting a school board member in one of the most bizarre episodes in the district's history.

Police and board member Tim Butler say the teaching assistant, Sheila Smith, 32, hit him with a coffee cup after he asked to inspect a box she was removing from the building as Superintendent Susan Johnson, who was fired Tuesday night at a school board meeting, cleared out her office.

Smith, meanwhile, contends she acted in self-defense after Butler "knocked her clean out of her shoes" in an attempt to reinspect a box, said her attorney, Douglas Thomas of Hempstead.

"He hit me first, twice," Smith said Wednesday afternoon in a phone interview. She said Butler pushed her into a wall with his shoulder "like a tackle in football," and she cut her hand on the metal filing rack she was carrying. She said the cut required stitches.

"She's the victim here," Thomas said.

Smith pleaded not guilty in First District Court, Hempstead, Wednesday and was released without bail. She is next due in court tomorrow.

Thomas said the police should not have arrested Smith. Authorities and Tim Butler disagreed Wednesday. "The arrest took place because the investigation came to the conclusion that she was responsible," a Nassau police spokesman said.

Butler was treated at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre for a lump on his head and a cut lip.

He said Smith hit him with a coffee cup, threw a second one at him and tried to throw a third before former board member .Thomas Parsley Jr. subdued her.

"I didn't punch anybody," Butler said.

Butler described a chaotic scene that escalated when Hempstead police officers arrived, but Johnson, Smith and another school staffer continued removing boxes from the building. Butler and board member Youssef Soufiane called police to prevent school property from being taken, he said. Butler's brother, Donald, is a Hempstead Village police detective who attended Tuesday night's meeting and was at the scene later.

Johnson could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but said Tuesday night she only took personal items.

As Butler and Soufiane blocked the front entrance, Butler said board member Terry Grant announced he would take a box out the back door. Butler said that while he followed Grant, Smith grabbed a box and made a break for the front door.

He ran over to her, he said, and tried to grab some items in the box. They struggled, and the box fell to the floor.

"Then she takes a cup and knocks me upside the top of my head," Butler said. "I couldn't believe it."

Fairborn woman sentenced to 5 years in sex abuse

Greene County Common Pleas Court Judge Stephen A. Wolaver also labeled Kelly L. Smith a sexual predator for her guilty pleas in May to five counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

She could have been sentenced to as much as 25 years in prison.

The boys — two 15-year-olds and a 13-year-old — were abused in Smith's Fairborn home, according to police and court records.

As a sexual predator, Smith must regularly report for the rest of her life to the sheriff's office in the county where she lives when she is released from prison.

Conewago woman charged with child endangerment

Police charged a Conewago Township woman Wednesday after police found five children between the ages of 2 weeks and 11 years alone at her residence in April.

Urine and feces covered the floor of the 42 Dakota Dr. home where Jaqueline Melissa Hoke lives, according to charging documents. A 1-year-old boy was crawling on a soiled kitchen floor when police arrived April 8, the documents said.

Police charged Hoke, 27, with one count of endangering the welfare of children and sent for caseworkers to take the children into protective custody.

The 2-week-old and 1-year-old boys and their 6-year-old brother are Hoke's children. Two girls - ages 9 and 11 - belong to Hoke's sister, Christine Hoke, 31, of Emmitsburg, Md. The 11-year-old told police she was baby-sitting.

Police came to Jaqueline Hoke's residence after 911 dispatchers received a hang-up telephone call at 4:40 p.m., charging documents said.

The 11-year-old told Detective William Hartlaub that the 1-year-old had been playing with the telephone.

When Hartlaub walked inside the house, he found the floors covered with the feces and urine from the children, the documents said. The youngest child was wearing a dirty diaper and the child's skin was "mottled and cold to the touch," the documents said.

Hartlaub contacted Adams County Children & Youth Services, which sent out a caseworker to take custody of the children.

Jaqueline Hoke told police she left for work at York Hospital at 4:30 p.m. and that she left a friend in charge of the children, according to the documents.

Christine Hoke was supposed to relieve the friend, Jaqueline Hoke reportedly told police. But when police arrived, Christine Hoke wasn't there.

The friend had left to go to Kentucky, the documents said. Police interviewed the friend, who said she's been in Kentucky since March, according to the documents.

"I don't know exactly how long (the children) were left alone in the house," Hartlaub said. But, he added, it is believed the children were alone in the home a few hours before they were found.

The 11-year-old told police she was baby-sitting because her aunt, Jaqueline Hoke, was at work until 11 p.m. and Hoke's parents were out of town because of a death in the family, charging documents said.

The girl said she didn't know where Jaqueline Hoke worked and didn't have a telephone number to contact her, according to the documents.

Christine Hoke told police she never would have let her children spend the night if she had known they wouldn't be supervised by an adult. She told police her daughter had no experience baby-sitting.

Because Jaqueline Hoke was charged with a misdemeanor, she will receive the charges in the mail, Hartlaub said.

Death charges woman 'lied to glamorise life'

A CARE worker charged with causing the deaths of two elderly women in a fire lied to glamorise her life, a court heard.

Deborah Cafolla is charged with the manslaughters of 101-year-old Dorice Ede and 74-year-old Elinor Hellett, also known as Margaret, who died following a blaze at a care home near St Neots last year.

She is also charged with a separate arson attack which took place in the same home where she worked, just over a month later.

The first fire at Paxton Hall Residential Home, Rampley Lane, Little Paxton, was started on February 23, 2004. The second, on March 27, 2004, was put out by staff and no-one was hurt.

It is alleged Cafolla, of Surrey Road, Huntingdon, started the fires in a bungled attempt to play the heroine.

Yesterday (Wednesday, 13 July), Tim Spencer QC, prosecuting, told the jury of five women and seven men at Northampton Crown Court Cafolla was unhappy in her work and felt she should be made a supervisor. She later learned management staff at the care home did not recommend a promotion.

Mr Spencer said Cafolla had been known to present herself as a fully qualified nurse when she was not.

He went on to explain how she told people her husband worked for the FBI, the CIA, was a member of the SAS and involved in operations in both Iraq and Ireland, was a secret agent in America and a banker in America.

Mr Spencer said: "He clearly couldn't be all those things and was in fact none of them.

"This is a woman who craved attention and craved appreciation."

Evidence from fire and scenes of crimes investigators showed the fire could not have been started by an intruder to the room.

Mr Spencer said: "The residents were simply physically incapable of getting to those rooms and lighting a fire or certainly incapable of doing so in the time scale necessary without anyone detecting what they were doing."

He said: "That means it was somebody - a member of staff -who is responsible for those fires."

Cafolla denies all charges.

The trial continues.

Woman accused of attacking boyfriend

A 39-year-old Fairfield woman was arrested on an assault charge Tuesday after she allegedly punched her boyfriend in the face and kicked him in the stomach outside his ex-wife's house.

Victoria Eastus, of Burr Street, is charged with third-degree assault and breach of peace. She was released on a written promise to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court and was arraigned Wednesday.

Police said an officer saw Eastus yelling outside a house on South Pine Creek Road about 7:42 p.m. and then saw her punch the 47-year-old man in the face three times and kick him in the stomach, causing him to roll down several stairs.

He did not require medical treatment, police said.

Woman faces 10 years for fraud in black farmer funds

July 14, 2005

JACKSONVILLE - A college administrator pleaded guilty Tuesday to passing friends and relatives off as farmers to collect $50,000 in settlement payments approved for black farmers who were wrongly denied government loans.

Emma Okari Brooks, 55, is one of three people accused of conspiracy to submit false claims to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to collect $400,000 from a national settlement reached with black farmers in a 1997 loan discrimination case.

Brooks runs an agricultural extension program at Michigan State University and is the former vice president for academic affairs at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville. She faces up to 10 years in prison; sentencing is scheduled for August. Prosecutors dropped eight other fraud counts as part of the plea agreement. 

Daniel Anekwu, the former senior vice president for business and finance of Edward Waters College, pleaded guilty in May.

Brooks and Anekwu each agreed to testify against Kimberly Colston Woodruff, of Tallahassee, who has not been arrested and may have left Florida.

Woman Pleads Guilty To False Rape Claim

20-Year-Old Tried To Cover Up Heroin Use

July 12, 2005

HOWELL, Mich. -- A 20-year-old Livingston County woman has pleaded guilty to falsely reporting to police that she was drugged, kidnapped and raped.

Kelly Marie Spence, of Hamburg Township, faces up to four years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

Spence told police in May that she became disoriented and suspected a drug had been placed in the soda she was drinking at a Brighton Township establishment. She said two males then led her to a car, drove off and injected her with an unknown drug before assaulting her.

The woman later said she had made up the allegations in an attempt to cover up heroin use because she faced a drug test as part of an unrelated probation.
