DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) ‐ A former Pennsylvania township official and his girlfriend spiked a woman’s drink and used a hidden camera to take sexually explicit photographs of her while she was unconscious, according to police and prosecutors. Looks like Ay Pee wants to play "Name The Party" for some reason.
Lawrence Weinstein and Kelly Drucker are charged with false imprisonment, invasion of privacy, recklessly endangering another person, criminal conspiracy and violations of the Pennsylvania Wiretap Act. They surrendered to Bucks County detectives Tuesday.
Weinstein, 44, is a lawyer who resigned from his position as a Northampton Township Supervisor last month, citing "personal reasons."
The plot came to light after 45-year-old Drucker’s ex-husband noticed his teenage daughter had been given her mom’s old phone, The Philadelphia Inquirer report ed. On it, he discovered text messages between Drucker and her boyfriend Weinstein detailing the plan hatched last October and alerted authorities.
In the texts, the couple talked about setting up a camera in a bathroom at Drucker’s home, as well as a hidden camera mounted in a pair of glasses.
Through the texts, shown in the affidavit, the two formulated a plan to bring the victim, who worked for Northampton Township, back to Drucker’s house after under the pretense of celebrating what a good job she was doing at work.
Over the course of several hours, authorities said, Weinstein coached Drucker in their "mission," as he described it in the texts, urging her to serve the victim drinks of "1/2 everclear and 1/2 wine" and to encourage her to spend the night at the home. Everclear is a grain alcohol that is 95 percent alcohol by volume. Ordinary vodka is around 40 percent alcohol by volume.
When the victim went to use bathroom, Drucker texted Weinstein that she "got pics," the Inquirer reported.
Later in the evening, the victim fell ill and passed out in the bathroom, prompting a string of texts from Weinstein, referencing the "spy glasses" he had given Drucker and urging her to get nude photos of the woman. "I will reward you," he texted, according to the affidavit.
The victim told police she remembered saying her wine "didn’t taste right" on the night of Nov. 10, 2017, and was sick the following morning. She said she didn’t remember anything that happened in between, according to investigators.
Officials said they recovered photos of the victim taken while she was in Drucker’s bathroom.
Detectives later searched Weinstein’s home and said they found photos on Weinstein’s iPad showing him assaulting another unconscious woman in 2012. He’s facing additional charges in that case.
Weinstein and Drucker were released from custody late Tuesday after posting bail, according to court records. They face preliminary hearings on Oct. 18.
No attorney information is available for them. A message seeking comment from Weinstein on a phone listed to him wasn’t returned Wednesday.

In less than a decade, Weinstein became a partner at the Ardmore, Pennsylvania law firm Silver & Silver. His expertise included Social Security Disability Workers’ Compensation and Long-Term Disability, according to his biography, since scrubbed from the firm’s website.

Weinstein? That names sounds familiar. Family name curse?
[NYPOST] A woman has been killed by a crocodile while out fishing with her family in the Northern Territory in Australia.
It took police three hours to get to the lake where the group of seven women and kiddies were in east Arnem on Friday.
Police Commander Tony Fuller said the woman was fishing and collecting mussels in the lake with some family members around 10:30 a.m. when they noticed the woman was missing.
Police found her body around 5 p.m. less than half a mile from the lake.
The crocodile was destroyed by local rangers and the woman’s body was recovered.
"The family noticed she was missing and the bucket she was carrying was found nearby," he said.
"They heard some splashing. She was up to waist deep in water."
Initial reports suggested the woman was a ranger, but police are still trying to confirm that and if she was working at the time.

I wonder if this was a Saltwater Croc.
The saltwater crocodile is a large and opportunistic hypercarnivorous apex predator (top of the food chain). Most prey are ambushed and then drowned or swallowed whole. It is capable of prevailing over almost any animal that enters its territory, including other apex predators such as sharks, Wiki
[DAWN] An earthquake on Thursday killed three people in Indonesia and rattled hotels where IMF delegates are attending a major summit, a fortnight after a quake-tsunami killed more than 2,000 elsewhere in the archipelago.
The 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia’s Bali and Java islands in the early hours, injuring nearly 30 people and sending residents rushing into the streets.
Some attendees in Bali for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings this week evacuated their hotels as the quake shook the island.
“I felt the quake for at least 30 seconds and I panicked. At first I didn’t want to go out but then I decided to leave,” Katharina Sudiyono, an Indonesian attendee at the summit, said.

Guess those 5 star hotels are a little more sturdy than the tin and cardboard shacks.
[NYPOST] A horrifying scene was uncovered in Iguatu, Brazil, where authorities uncovered a site used for human sacrifices. A trio of Satanists allegedly lured several people to the property and then tortured and murdered them. Mutilated body parts were discovered, which apparently were used in rituals in order to gain power and influence over women.

in rituals in order to gain power and influence over women
[All Africa] Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... 's elections management body says it has received 25 petitions from candidates and voters calling for the Oct. 7 presidential election to be annulled.
Candidates Cabral Libii of the opposition Universe party and Joshua Osih of the opposition Social Democratic Front are among those who want the polls annulled. They allege massive fraud and ballot stuffing in favor of President Paul Biya's ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) party.
Cleric Rigobert Gabanmidanha of the Live and Peace Ministry also petitioned for the cancellation of the polls. He claims the constitutional council that certifies election results is controlled by Biya and that many opposition supporters like himself were not allowed to vote.
Gabanmidanha says he went to his polling station with his voter card but was told that his name was not on the list of registered voters. He also says he had applied to be a candidate in the election but was rejected for not presenting all the required documents.
Thirteen of the petitions to annul the election were from another would-be presidential candidate, Bertin Kisob, who is on pre-trial detention for supporting Anglophone separatists.
Kisob, who was also rejected as a candidate, says members of his Cameroon Party for Social Justice reported irregularities and fraud that favored Biya.
Cameroon's minister of Labor and Social Security, Gregoire Owona, has described the complaints as a distraction.
He says there should be no confusion on the role played by independent state institutions in the electoral process and by their candidate Biya, who is still president. Owona reiterates that all state institutions are independent and act as such.
Cameroon's election body, ELECAM, has denied any vote-rigging.
The head of ELECAM's legal unit, Mbufong Marcel Kumfa, says opposition parties have no evidence on which to base their claims as they failed to send representatives to many polling stations.

[All Africa] HEALTH Minister Obadiah Moyo is neither a qualified medical doctor nor a fellow of various international elite societies as stated on his curriculum vitae posted by Chitungwiza Central Hospital (CCH), where he served as chief executive before being appointed into Cabinet, investigations by the Zim-bob-we Independent have revealed.
The investigations showed that Moyo is an academic and medical impostor, who is not a registered practitioner with the Medical Dental Practitioners Council of Zim-bob-we (MDPCZ).
It also emerged this week that President Emmerson Mnangagwa ignored his advisers who disapproved the appointment of Moyo as Health minister due to his questionable medical qualifications.
Mnangagwa had asked for due diligence checks to establish Moyo's suitability for the appointment, among other potential cabinet appointees.
On his CV posted on the CCH website, Moyo claims to be a "visionary leader with a proven track-record in the fields of medicine and executive management".
He says he attained a Doctor of Medicine Degree (MD) in the West Indies, a region of the North Atlantic Ocean in the Caribbean, without specifying the country, university and year of study as is the norm.
Moyo did not respond to questions from the Independent, but investigations established there is no such qualification as MD throughout the Anglophone Caribbean region. Medical experts said in most Anglo-Saxon countries, practising medical doctors attain a Bachelor of Medicine and Dental Surgeries degree (MBChB) from a recognised university, as is also the case locally.
Elsewhere, the general qualification is known as MBBS, an abbreviation for Medicinae Baccalaureus, Baccalaureus Chirurgiae, or Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery in English.
Contrary to claims on the CV that he was a medical practitioner with a proven track-record, Moyo never practiced as a medical doctor in Zim-bob-we.
The Health Professions Act requires practitioners to register with MDPCZ. Moyo's name does not appear on the list of the 3 624 registered medical practitioners in the country.
MDPCZ officials, who confirmed the list to the Zim-bob-we Independent, explained the stringent registration process.
"You need to be trained for seven years at the University of Zim-bob-we (UZ) and thereafter work as an intern for two years. You will then be deployed as a government district medical officer for at least a year before you are eligible to get into private practice. All this while, you will be working under strict supervision and you can only proceed on strong recommendations," an official said.

[An Nahar] NASA chief Jim Bridenstine on Friday praised the Russian space program and said he expected a new crew to go to the International Space Station in December despite a rocket failure.
"I fully anticipate that we will fly again on a Soyuz rocket and I have no reason to believe at this point that it will not be on schedule," he told news hounds.
The NASA administrator spoke to news hounds at the U.S. embassy in Moscow a day after a Soyuz rocket failure forced Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and U.S. astronaut Nick Hague to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff in Kazakhstan. The pair escaped unharmed.
It was the first such incident in Russia's post-Soviet history -- an unprecedented setback for the country's space industry.
The Soviet-designed Soyuz rocket is currently the world's only lifeline to the International Space Station and the accident will affect both NASA and the work of the orbiting laboratory.
Bridenstine, who is visiting Russia and Kazakhstan for the first time since his appointment as NASA chief this year, observed the launch from Baikonur cosmodrome with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Rogozin.
Appearing at times emotional, he said he was "confident" a new manned mission to the ISS would go ahead as planned in December, praising the "wonderful relationship" between the Russian and U.S. space agencies.

"Now if we only had our own" yes but perhaps commercial efforts will prove the more efficient route. Russia holds on fortunately but with old technology. China has serious debt issues much worse than our own. To weaken them I said let them spend, spend and spend. Islands, military, development projects many of which are sitting empty now. One child policy is having its negative impact now. Too many older people to support and fewer offspring to carry. In China children must support their elders.

"Showing Initiative" is not a Bureaucratic Virtue -- it is safer to follow established procedure even if you know its wrong. Besides, think of all the Roscosmos/ULA bribe money pressure to 'not rock the boat'.
[An Nahar] A German court said Friday that a man suspected of the rape and murder of Bulgarian television journalist Viktoria Marinova would be extradited to Bulgaria in the coming days.
"The extradition of the accused can be expected soon," the superior regional court in Celle said in a statement.
It added that the 20-year-old suspect, who was tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... on Tuesday on a European warrant, had said during questioning "that he did not want to kill the victim and denied raping her".
"The arrested man admitted to the court that he had a verbal argument with the victim on October 6, 2018," it said.
"He was under the strong influence of alcohol and drugs and punched the woman in the face, at which point she fell down. He then picked her up and threw her in a bush but said he then left the scene."
Under an expedited procedure requested by prosecutors and agreed to by the accused, he must be extradited within 10 days of the court's ruling, made on Thursday.

Watch any video of someone trying to converse rationally with a Social Justice Wanker and you will see that they are, indeed, Non-Player-Characters who simply parrot what their handlers tell them to say.
Some NPC have very complex conversation trees with thousands of 'lines'. But in the end they end up saying the same few lines over and over again. These are much more complex than the typical SJW. But you do see them in congress or media.

[DAWN] An Anti-terrorism Court (ATC) on Friday issued the death warrants for Imran Ali ‐ the man convicted for the rape and murder of Zainab Amin.
According to an order issued by ATC Judge Sheikh Sajjad Ahmed, Ali's death sentence will be carried out on October 17 at Lahore's Central Jail.
"Today's warrants were issued after President Arif Alvi rejected Ali's appeal for clemency in the Zainab case on October 10," said Prosecutor Abdul Rauf Watoo.
Ali, a resident of Kasur, was accused of being involved in at least nine incidents of rape-cum-murder of minors, including Zainab's which he had confessed to during her murder investigation.
Out of the seven rape and murder cases registered against Imran, the court has given its verdict in five.
The ATC on February 17 had given him four counts of the death penalty , one life term, a 7-year jail term and Rs4.1 million in fines. The four death penalties were for kidnapping, raping and murdering Zainab, and for committing an act of terrorism punishable under Section 7 of the Anti Terrorism Act (ATA).
In total, Imran Ali has been sentenced to 21 counts of death, three life sentences and a cumulative 23 years in jail.
He has also been set a Rs2.5 million fine by the court, which is other than the Rs255,000 that he has been sentenced to pay as diyat. Only two cases against Ali remain pending.
Zainab's rape and murder earlier this year had sparked outrage and protests across the country after the six-year-old, who went missing on January 4, was found dead in a trash heap in Kasur on January 9.

Bahaha, what a joke. So glad Trump got us out of there.
Besides, isn't the point to "engage with human rights violators"? That's what they said when we were trying to get out. That's why Saudi Arabia is there, so they said. Can't even keep to their own principles.
