“Otisha” likely to be arrested as CC&PA completes investigation
The Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA) on Sunday closed its investigation into the alleged misconduct by Otis “Otisha” Pearson, a popular member of the transgender community, and he is likely to be arrested shortly.According to CC&PA’s Director, Ann Green, the Agency has gathered statements from a number of persons, including the young man in the middle of the controversy, and as such, it is expected to move ahead with the arrest of Pearson.The public became enraged when Pearson was heard in an interview reporting that “he has a little boy for every day of the week”.Otis “Otisha” PearsonHowever, after he was bashed on social media, the transgender personality quickly defended himself, explaining that the term “little boys” was taken out of context.He attempted to cover up his transgressions stating that the term is actually referring to persons above the legal age of consent and is also used when referring to his colleagues.The statement quickly became a serious matter when a photo of Pearson and a young man was leaked on social media site Facebook.Many users of the site were of the opinion that the young man was underage; the age of consent in Guyana being 16.Investigations revealed that the boy was indeed below the age of 16 and was being bullied after the photos were leaked.One newscast that visited the area where the young boy lives reported that Pearson was previously involved in a relationship with the boy’s older brother, but Pearson quickly started a relationship with the underage teen.He would reportedly purchase gadgets for the boy who is reportedly 15 years old and was seen with him on several occasions.As such, the CC&PA had announced that a formal investigation will follow and based on findings, the matter would be turned over to the Guyana Police Force.The entire fiasco began after Pearson was arrested and locked up for questioning in relation to the murder of Hemchand Dalchand whose body was discovered lying on the East Coast roadway in the vicinity of Cummings Lodge after a night out with friends.
The veteran coach was taking charge of Arsenal for the final time at the Theatre of Dreams, and for the first time since announcing he will leave the Gunners at the end of the season following 22 years in charge.To mark the occasion, Ferguson presented a vase to the 68-year-old Frenchman before kick-off.Quizzed about the applause he received ahead of the game, Wenger replied: “When you’re not a danger any more, people love you.“I am thankful to Manchester United because they had a nice gesture. It is the first time I get a trophy before a game. It is very classy from them.”Wenger chose an inexperienced side for the game, perhaps with an eye on next week’s crucial Europa League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, his young charges losing out in stoppage time to Marouane Fellaini’s header.Still, the Arsenal boss said that whoever takes over from him at the Emirates will have some great young talent to choose from.“My successor will watch this game and hopefully he will come to a positive conclusion because I think they are the future of Arsenal football club – some, 100 percent.” Wenger said. “We had a very young team and the performance was positive.“The players are destroyed because they gave everything and were caught in the final minute.“There were many question marks if we would be strong enough to fight but the quality was good, the spirit was good, many players stood up. We tired a bit in the last 20 minutes and were a bit more under pressure. It was a negative result and a positive performance.”Meanwhile, Wenger remained non-committal when asked about whether he would face off against United boss Jose Mourinho again next season.“I don’t know, honestly. He will be at Manchester United next year certainly and I don’t know where I will be,” he said.0Shares0000(Visited 2 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Sir Alex Ferguson presented Arsene Wenger with a gift at Old TraffordMANCHESTER, United Kingdom, Apr 30- Arsène Wenger praised Manchester United’s ‘classy’ gesture on Sunday after he was handed a commemorative gift by old rival Alex Ferguson ahead of his final game at Old Trafford as Arsenal boss.Wenger later joked that his generous reception before Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat was because he was no longer considered a “danger”.
WASHINGTON – NATO’s supreme commander, the senior U.S. soldier in Europe, indicated Wednesday that he could do little to stop a Turkish incursion seeking Turkish Kurds taking shelter in Iraq. Gen. John Craddock, visiting from his Brussels headquarters, said the valuable NATO ally faces a problem along its southeastern border. The Kurdistan Workers Party, known by its initials PKK, has fought for autonomy in southeastern Turkey since 1984. Tens of thousands have died in the conflict. “I don’t think it’s any secret that there’s a problem there between insurgents – the PKK – using northern Iraq as a safe haven and the Turks then get attacked across the border. And that’s the issue,” Craddock told reporters. “The contentious issue is where are these people at any one time.” AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREGame Center: Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 10 a.m.As indication of the impasse, retired Air Force Gen. Joseph Ralston, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006 as a special envoy on the matter, resigned in the past week. His Turkish counterpart, retired Gen. Edip Baser, resigned in May after a Turkish newspaper quoted him as saying the efforts were going nowhere. Turkey has conducted two dozen large-scale incursions into Iraq since the late 1980s. The last such operation, in 1997, involved tens of thousands of troops and government-paid village guards. Craddock’s responsibility as chief of the European Command stops at the Iraq border. Iraq is in the territory of the Central Command, headquartered in Florida. Craddock was asked whether he can “influence Turkey’s actions in terms of Iraq?” “I won’t say in terms of Iraq,” he said. “I will say that I talk with my counterparts, military leaders in Turkey, frequently, and we discuss issues about their border. And I’ll leave it at that.” 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set!

VETERAN Fianna Fail councillor Patrick McGowan has welcomed the Seanad referendum result – saying Labour, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein got their just desserts.“The €20M that this Referendum cost on the Senate vote should be paid by all three parties,” said Cllr McGowan.“Enda held this Referendum to distract criticism of his Government policy aided and abetted by Sinn Fein. “The Recent bills introducing abortion into Ireland Labour, Fine Gael and Sinn Fein and other legislation rushed through the Dáil has caused a lot of people to think about Democracy and how much this present Dáil was serving the Irish people.“A lot of promises were made just before the 2011 elections such as reform on the political systems, but all we we’re going to get was cuts for ordinary people and jobs for the boys as political advisers being paid over €150’000 plus expenses and more on the way to replace the Senators when they were got rid of.“The Irish people have now spoken and have demanded real change.” LABOUR/FG/SF HAVE GOT THEIR JUST DESSERTS – McGOWAN was last modified: October 5th, 2013 by John2Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
