DoorDash driver who went viral over alleged ‘sexual assault’ when she saw naked man now faces criminal charges for filming him
A DoorDash driver who claimed she was sexually assaulted by a customer she saw asleep with his pants off is now facing felony charges for recording the man and sharing her video online.
Olivia Henderson, 23, was delivering food on October 12 to a man's home in Oswego, New York. In a video she posted on TikTok, she said when she arrived, she saw the man through an open door, passed out on his couch with his pants off, according to AZFamily.
She left the food and reported the man, saying she did not want a similar situation to happen to other women working as delivery drivers.

However, police investigating the incident said that her story did not align with the evidence they collected. They determined that no sexual assault occurred,
While Henderson claims the door was open when she arrived — providing the view into the man's house — Ring camera footage taken from the home reportedly shows her opening the man's door on her own, according to the New York Post.

According to police, there is no evidence to suggest the man had invited her to enter his house, and she admitted in her own TikTok video that the man's order asked her to leave his food at his door — not inside his house.
Since the incident occurred, Henderson has posted several videos on TikTok accusing TikTok, DoorDash, and the local police of "silencing" or "punishing" her for speaking out.

"They just punished me for reporting my sexual assault while DoorDashing," she said in one story.
She claimed in another that "TikTok is silencing my story."
Henderson has been charged with one count of first-degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image and one count of second-degree unlawful surveillance, according to the Oswego police.
DoorDash has deactivated Henderson and the man's account in the wake of the controversy.
“Posting a video of a customer in their home, and disclosing their personal details publicly, is a clear violation of our policies," the company said in a statement after her arrest. “That is the sole reason that this Dasher’s account was deactivated, along with the customer’s, while we investigated."
If found guilty, Henderson faces up to 8 years in prison.
She is set to appear in court on December 4.

Bondi Busted Hiding Trump Goons’ Messages From the Epstein Files

A watchdog group is demanding that Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice explain why none of the millions of documents released as part of the Epstein files include communications from top Trump administration officials.
The Democracy Defenders Fund alleged in a letter Friday that the DOJ has “impermissibly” narrowed the scope of the Epstein Files Transparency Act by failing to include any communications from Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, or FBI Director Kash Patel.
Those officials “have been at the center of DOJ’s response (or lack thereof) to congressional and public calls for production of the Epstein files,” the letter said, meaning the Epstein Library “should be replete with their communications.”

“The obvious conclusion is that these communications have been withheld, destroyed, or redacted to the point that they are not traceable in the Epstein Library,” it continued.
The law requires the release of all of the DOJ’s unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials relating to the investigation and prosecution of Epstein, while allowing certain information to be redacted, including personal details of victims and materials that would jeopardize an active federal investigation.
The exemptions are “largely inapplicable” to communications from Bondi, Blanche, and Patel, according to the Democracy Defenders Fund, which has asked the DOJ’s inspector general to ensure compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
In a statement to Axios, a DOJ spokesperson said the complaints were a “tired narrative.”

“This Department produced more than 3.5 million pages in compliance with the law and, in full transparency, has disclosed to the public and to Congress what items were not responsive,” the statement said.

The Daily Beast has also reached out for comment.
The DOJ released the last tranche of Epstein-related files on Jan. 30, more than a month after the deadline Congress established for releasing any records related to the late sex offender and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
President Donald Trump, who was friends with Epstein for more than a decade, responded to the release by declaring, “I think it’s really time for the country to get onto something else.”

His name or related terms were found 5,300 times within the documents, though he has denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. The disgraced financier died by an apparent suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

He had previously pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Epstein’s victims, however, have said they’re not satisfied with the DOJ’s release. Earlier this week, both Trump and Vice President JD Vance complained that CNN star Kaitlan Collins needed to smile more when asking what the president would say to victims who feel like they haven’t gotten justice.
The release was heavily redacted and yet full of mistakes, with the DOJ forced to rush to take down thousands of documents containing the unredacted names of victims and even nude images of young women.

Maiwenna Goasdowe, 49 and Jarrod Clune 50 were two of the victims of a family of four found dead after a suspected double murder-suicide in one of Perth’s most affluent suburbs have been identified. picture: Facebook ,
Calls for a coronial inquest into the suspected double-murder suicide in Perth are ramping up, with the Disability Discrimination Commissioner stating there is “never a justification for family violence or murder”.
The bodies of Maiwenna Goasdowe, 49, Jarrod Clune, 50, and their teenage sons Leon, 16, and Otis, 14, were found at their Mott Close home in Mosman Park last Friday morning.
A person who provided care services for the teenage boys, who are understood to have autism, alerted police about 8am.

Police found the bodies in different parts of the home, as well as a note, describing the deaths as a “devastating tragedy”.

Three pets — two dogs and a cat — were also found dead at the property.
A week on from the tragedy, and Disability Discrimination Commissioner Rosemary Kayess says they are heartbroken by the deaths.
“While we don’t yet know all the details, it’s important that the gravity of this situation is not diminished by the fact that the two teenagers were autistic and required support,” she said.
“There is never a justification for family violence or murder.”
“We must reject the idea that disability is a burden — every child has the right to life, safety and support, and families should have access to help well before crisis.”

Without meaningful action, “tragedies like this will continue”, Mrs Kayess said
“A coronial inquest is urgently needed to ensure strong investigative powers to respond to this tragedy and to identify the underlying and systemic issues that led to the parents’ actions, and to provide a sense of justice for Otis and Leon,” Mrs Kayess said.

It is understood a note found on the front door contained instructions to call police, and a letter found inside reportedly had details on how the family wanted their finances to be arranged after their deaths.
WA Police confirmed the family had no prior reported domestic violence issues and no weapon was used.

Both teenagers had pre-existing medical conditions, but police did not explain further.
Ms Goasdowe – who was known as Mai – was born in Morlaix, a small town in France with just over 15,000 residents.
She was part of several online support groups and described her sons as being at the higher end of the autism spectrum.

Husband reported wife missing, then her body was found in wedding dress bag

Kirsty was reported missing by her husband Paul Grabham a week before her body was found [Family of Kirsty Wilkinson]
This story discusses graphic details of human remains and death which some people may find distressing
When Kirsty Wilkinson found the perfect dress for her wedding after a whirlwind romance, she bought a pink suit carrier to protect it ahead of her big day in February 2008.
Just over a year later that pink carrier was to make a shocking reappearance in a gruesome discovery that sparked a hunt for a vicious murderer.

Now the story of how that murderer was brought to justice has been revealed in a new documentary.
On the morning of 6 April 2009, a lorry driver pulled off the M4 and parked in an underpass near Porthcawl, south Wales, and spotted a suitcase in an embankment.
Thinking the suitcase might have fallen off a roof rack from a car crossing the bridge above, the driver retrieved it and began to open it, only to see a hand and some blonde, bloodstained hair.
Twenty miles down the road in Swansea, senior investigation officer Dorian Lloyd had been called in to help on a missing person's case a few days previously.

Kirsty Grabham, 24, nee Wilkinson, had been reported missing by her husband Paul a week earlier on 30 March, last seen by friends after a night out the previous Friday.
Police did a cursory check of her home after his report but found nothing untoward, but when officers realised the body by the M4 was that of a young woman, Lloyd was called to the scene.

He recalls: "It was horrific. We discovered two black bags, bin liners, inside the suitcase.
"One had been placed over the body's head and the other over her feet and she'd also been wrapped in a pink suit carrier."
The investigation team suspected the body was Kirsty but weren't certain.

Penny Roberts, former chief reporter at BBC Wales who covered the case at the time, said: "A woman of the same description as Kirsty had gone missing around the same town. It seems so incredible."
The fact the body had been found 20 miles from Kirsty's home also added doubts as Lloyd said it was "very rare for a body to be moved that distance".

With evidence pointing towards Kirsty as the victim, her mum Cathy Broomfield was given the awful task of trying to identify her youngest daughter's body.
She told the BBC One Wales series: The Truth About My Murder: "She looked like something out of a horror movie. Broken nose, broken jaw. They'd washed her hair but there was still blood it in. It didn't look like my little girl.

"All her features had changed dramatically. It was only her eyebrows that I was able to recognise, the shape of them. I couldn't even cry, I was in so much shock."
Lloyd said the fact Kirsty's body was wrapped in the pink carrier she bought to preserve her wedding dress was a "particularly agonising revelation".
When police told Grabham his wife was the body in the suitcase, his reaction – answering no comment to any questions and showing no emotion at all to the shocking news - raised suspicions.

But officers needed a lot more than suspicion and this is where the findings of the pathology team proved so crucial in finding Kirsty's killer.
The post-mortem examination showed the true extent of the violence inflicted upon Kirsty before her death.
Dr Richard Shepherd, former Home Office forensic pathologist, said the extent and distribution of her injuries showed a "violent, vicious and prolonged attack".
Kirsty had fingerprint bruising around her throat and a bone behind her tongue had been fractured, showing the extent of force used on her.

Meanwhile, police were building up a picture of Kirsty and Grabham's relationship.

Cathy said Kirsty, who was working as a glamour model, had been in a relationship with another man but had announced almost out of the blue that she was going to marry someone called Paul.
They had a whirlwind romance and married three months after they met, a but a short time later, Cathy noticed changes in her daughter's behaviour.
Kirsty "didn't look like herself" anymore and would run out of the house "like a scared rabbit" when her husband started beeping the horn outside.
"She was a nervous wreck. We didn't like him."
Letters recovered between the pair revealed problems in their relationship and forensic psychologist Dr Catrin Williams studied evidence about the couple.

"In this relationship we're seeing some evidence of coercive controlling behaviour.
"This might be having control of their movements, isolating them and controlling what friends they see. It can get to the point where actually the partner is controlling every aspect of their life."
Cathy said Grabham even strangled Kirsty at a party, to the point where she "really thought she was going to die".

Although the evidence of Grabham's violence was mounting, it didn't make him a killer.
He told police he had been out with Kirsty on the night she disappeared but got very drunk and returned alone and claimed that he woke up to find her gone, along with her handbag, wallet and phone.

But neighbours had heard things between 03:00 and 04:00, shortly after the time Kirsty had left her friends despite their pleas for her to stay at their house.
From the flat below they heard someone screaming with what sounded like a hand across their mouth, followed by banging sounds and something heavy being dragged from the bathroom.
A witness from a bar Kirsty and Grabham had been to that night remembered serving her sangria with apple floating in it.
Shepherd said the post-mortem examination finding a piece of apple in Kirsty's small bowel, which "fits very well indeed with Kirsty dying between three and four o'clock in the morning".

Police needed evidence Kirsty had died in the flat and senior forensic scientist Claire Morse was the person to find it.

She spotted small signs of blood on the wall and under strong forensic light found more on the floor.
She also spotted stains underneath a newly painted ceiling and went on to find blood in other parts of the flat, including the bathroom.
DNA profiling matched Kirsty and forensics also found minute traces of her blood on Grabham's clothes.
To make the case against him watertight, they needed to prove he moved her body to the underpass.
Phone records placed Grabham's mobile at the site where Kirsty's body had been dumped at 10:30 on Tuesday 31 March because Grabham had received and sent a text from there at that time.
