Appleton Resident Sentenced to 15 Months in Federal Prision for Tax Evasion United States Attorney James L. Santelle announced that on August 8 , 2012 , Diane L. Baugh ( age : 56 ) of Appleton was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to three counts of tax evasion based on her failure to report over $ 300,000 in income she received by using the internet to knowingly sell stolen merchandise . By failing to report the income , Baugh willfully avoided paying over $ 86,000 in taxes and actually received tax refunds to which she was not entitled . The investigation determined that between January 2005 and April 2010 , Baugh received over $ 605,000 by selling stolen scrapbooking merchandise , and that she willfully failed to report any of that income to the Internal Revenue Service . Baugh received the stolen merchandise from Virginia M. Akers ( age : 67 ) of Indiana who had shoplifted it from Hobby Lobby department stores in several states and shipped it to Baugh in Appleton . Baugh advertised the merchandise on eBay and also used direct email marketing with foreign and domestic customers that she had cultivated on eBay over the years . Baugh ’ s on-line customers paid her for the merchandise and shipping costs using PayPal . Baugh then used PayPal and money wire services to pay Akers for her share . Baugh sold the stolen merchandise for 25 % of its true retail value of over $ 2.2 million . From the gross receipts of over $ 605,000 , Baugh paid Akers over $ 257,000 . After paying over $ 46,000 in shipping costs , Baugh ’ s net income was approximately $ 301,561 . Baugh ’ s fraudulent tax returns also claimed that after deductions and credits , she had no taxable income and was therefore entitled to tax refunds . Baugh received those refunds for tax years 2005-2009 . The district court also ordered Baugh to serve three years on supervised release after her release from prison , to pay restitution of $ 2,232,000 to Hobby Lobby for the stolen merchandise , and to pay restitution of $ 86,032 to the Internal Revenue Service representing the amount of tax loss to the government . On January 23 , 2012 , Virginia Akers was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud relative to the stolen scrapbooking merchandise . The case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service , the Appleton Police Department , the Champaign ( Illinois ) Police Department , the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation , Hobby Lobby ’ s Loss Prevention Department , and other state and local law enforcement agencies . The case was prosecuted by the Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Funnell . # # # # #

Published : 2002-02-11 08:35:00 Updated : 2002-02-11 08:35:00 Chronic Pain Sufferers Worried About OxyContin Misuse Posted February 11 , 2002 FRANKLIN COUNTY — More and more people are abusing the drug OxyContin , stealing it to get high . Some people have died from using it and others have been put behind bars . Doctors are also getting into trouble for carelessly prescribing it . OxyContin is the brand name for oxycodone . On the street it is known as `` the poor man 's heroin , '' `` hillbilly heroin '' or `` OC . '' Its misuse is of great concern to many people who rely on the drug to live normal lives . OxyContin is a powerful drug intended to help ease severe , chronic pain . A Franklin County woman who uses the drug to treat a painful condition says it affords her a better quality of life . `` There 's been many times that the pain was so severe I could n't talk I could n't walk , '' says patient Jane Procacci . Procacci suffers from a rare bladder disorder called interstitial cystitis . It has crippled her body and her everyday life . She was bedridden for year , unable to move because of the pain . That all changed when her doctor prescribed a new pain medication called OxyContin . `` I guess the best way to put it is I 'm feeling some relief , not complete relief . I am feeling some relief where I can get out of bed I can sit on the swing , '' says Procacci . Procacci worries that the simple pleasures that she does enjoy will be short-lived . Since so many people abuse OxyContin , she is concerned the government may take the drug away . `` It 's going to make it bad for us because if they continue to abuse drugs like OxyContin , the FDA may end up pulling it off the market , '' she says . `` Which means my sons are going to lose their mother again because my other options for pain relief are few and far between . '' Procacci says that she hopes that will never happen , and wants those who abuse OxyContin to know what they are doing to people like her . `` For those that need the medication , do n't ruin it for us because this if the one thing that really does help us , '' she says . Purdue Pharma , the maker of OxyContin , has created a new formulation of the drug . It contains an antidote so that if someone chews or inhales the drug , it would nullify the high . When swallowed whole as prescribed , it would still have a powerful effect on pain . The company says the new formula is virtually abuse-proof , but it will be at least three years before it will be approved for use .

Florida Man Who Sexually Exploited Escondido Middle Schoolers Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison Assistant U.S . Attorneys Charlotte Kaiser ( 619 ) 546-7282 and David Leshner ( 619 ) 546-7921 NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY – January 7 , 2015 SAN DIEGO – Tony McLeod of Tampa , Florida , was sentenced in federal court today to 324 months in custody and a lifetime of supervised release for multiple sexual crimes against two Escondido children . Following an eight-day trial and less than two hours of deliberation , McLeod was convicted by a federal jury in June of 2015 of seven counts of sexual exploitation of a child , one count of attempted sexual exploitation of a child , one count of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct , and one count of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity as to a 14-year-old victim , and one count of attempted sexual exploitation of a child as to a 15-year-old victim . McLeod has been in custody since his arrest in Tampa , Florida in June 2013 . According to evidence presented to the jury , in spring 2013 , McLeod struck up a friendship with the minor victims through on-line gaming . These friendships spilled over into phone calls , texts , and video chats between McLeod and the minors in which they discussed their personal lives and McLeod learned they were in middle school . Around May of 2013 , McLeod ’ s relationships with these minors turned sexual in nature , which involved the exchange of sexually explicit photographs and videos . After one of the minor ’ s family members discovered the illicit relationship , McLeod traveled from his home in Tampa , Florida to Los Angeles , California , picked up that minor from his middle school in Escondido , and then transported that minor ( under an alias ) on a flight from California to Florida . On arrival of the flight , McLeod was arrested and taken into custody . During the sentencing hearing before U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino , the victims and their parents testified about the impact of McLeod ’ s actions . One of the minors , who was 14 years old when he travelled on the plane with McLeod , told Judge Sammartino , “ I lost my childhood and lost my innocence. ” The other victim , who had just turned 15 years old at the time of the offense , told the judge that McLeod ’ s actions and the aftermath “ almost completely destroyed my family. ” The mother of the 14-year-old victim testified that “ we as a family have lost our sense of security. ” In handing down the sentence , Judge Sammartino described McLeod ’ s conduct as “ horrendous ” and imposed a lifetime of supervised release . As part of the conditions of release , McLeod will be subject to search at any time by any law enforcement or probation officer with reasonable suspicion concerning a violation , he can not use or possess any electronic devices that would allow him to communicate with others , and he can not be in the presence of a child under age 18 unless he receives prior approval from his probation officer and only in the presence of a supervising adult who knows of his convictions . A restitution hearing is scheduled for February 26 . “ McLeod was a master manipulator who ingrained himself in these kids ’ lives despite being thousands of miles away . He then exploited them for his own illicit sexual desire , ” said U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy . “ We will work tirelessly to bring to justice those who prey on our children and rob them of their innocence. ” “ Protecting our children from sexual predators is a priority to the FBI , ” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Eric S.

Worries about Chinese economy and rising tension surrounding North Korea brings fear trade to mining and industrial metals . BHP Billiton Mining News BHP brands Elliott 's overhaul proposals as flawed , costly Activist investor Elliott 's proposals to break up BHP are riddled with “ major flaws ” and could end up costing far more to implement than they would save , the company said . Iron ore market keeps getting uglier — prices at lowest since November The commodity is now trading below $ 70 a tonne and has just suffered its largest one-day percentage decline in over a year . BHP Billiton to escalate defence from Elliott with Goldman ’ s help Analysts expect BHP to argue that a demerged petroleum business would need to fund offshore growth projects by raising debt . It may also contend that a stand-alone division won ’ t have the same ability to defer production until oil prices improve . Iron ore prices keep falling despite a decrease in China ’ s inventories After a 85 % rise in 2016 , iron ore prices are now down 3.2 % so far this year , which has placed the commodity in a bear market . BHP rejects activist fund Elliott urge to spin off US oil assets Company says the associated risks of spinning off about $ 22 billion of its US oil assets and listing them in New York would significantly outweigh any potential benefits .

Freeport ’ s Cerro Verde copper mine resumes normal operations The news follows the end of a historically long 43-day strike at BHP Billiton ’ s Escondida , the world 's biggest copper mine in neighbouring Chile . Escondida mine replaces top exec after failing to reach deal with workers Appointment comes barely a week after the mine , operated by BHP Billiton , failed to secure a wage deal with 2,500 workers after a 43-day strike . Iron ore hits lowest price since early February The steelmaking ingredient has shed almost $ 10 a tonne in just a week . US court cancels most of class action against Samarco over deadly dam burst Vale said the US District Court for the Southern District of New York annulled the majority of a class action lawsuit against the company and executives over the 2015 deadly accident . BHP 's Escondida mine strike becomes Chile ’ s longest , ends with no deal Workers ended their strike and invoked a rarely used legal provision that allows them to extend their old contract , which leaves them in the exact same situation they were before they downed tools . Iron ore miners worst nightmare just came true — prices tank Prices for the raw material have dropped below $ 90 a tonne as doubts gather about the strength of demand in China at stockpiles hit record highs .

Freeport ’ s Cerro Verde copper mine in Peru hit by strike The mine produced just under 500,000 tonnes of the red metal last year , making it Peru 's largest copper operation .

| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE| THURSDAY , JANUARY 16 , 2003 WWW.USDOJ.GOV | CRM| ( 202 ) 514-2008 TDD ( 202 ) 514-1888 BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO ENTERS INTO DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENT WITH U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WASHINGTON , D.C. – Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff of the Justice Department 's Criminal Division , U.S. Customs Commissioner Robert C. Bonner , David Palmer , Chief , Criminal Investigation , Internal Revenue Service , James Sloan , director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ( FinCEN ) , and Jennifer J. Johnson , secretary for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System , announced today that Banco Popular de Puerto Rico will forfeit $ 21.6 million to the United States as part of a deferred prosecution agreement on charges of failing to report suspicious financial activity . A criminal information filed today at U.S. District Court in the District of Puerto Rico charges Banco Popular with one count of failing to file Suspicious Activity Reports ( SARs ) in violation of Title 31 USC 5318 ( g ) ( 1 ) and 5322 ( a ) . Banco Popular waived indictment , agreed to the filing of the information , and accepted and acknowledged responsibility for its behavior in a factual statement accompanying the information . The company will forfeit $ 21.6 million to the United States to settle any and all civil claims held by the government . In light of the bank 's remedial actions to date and its willingness to acknowledge responsibility for its actions , the government will recommend to the court that any prosecution of the bank on the criminal charge be deferred for 12 months , and eventually dismissed with prejudice if the bank fully complies with its obligations . Concurrently , FinCEN has assessed a $ 20 million civil money penalty for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act against Banco Popular for its conduct , which will be deemed satisfied by the payment of the $ 21.6 million forfeiture . `` Banks are our first line of defense against money launderers , drug dealers and even terrorists who would attempt to abuse our financial institutions , '' said Assistant Attorney General Chertoff . `` Banks that disregard their duty to conduct adequate due diligence and report suspicious financial activities allow themselves to be exploited for criminal purposes . Today 's agreement recognizes that Banco Popular has been forthright in accepting its responsibility . '' The charges and the deferred prosecution agreement filed today arose out of transactions conducted by and through Banco Popular between June 1995 and June 2000 . During this time , several unusual or suspicious transactions were conducted in connection with certain accounts at Banco Popular . Although the bank filed Suspicious Activity Reports ( SARs ) on these accounts , they were untimely or , in some cases , inaccurate . In one series of transactions , Roberto Ferrario Pozzi deposited approximately $ 20 million in cash into a Banco Popular account from June 1995 to March 1998 . Deposits were made to the account by Ferrario and employees of Phone Home – a phone card , long distance and money transmission service – often in paper bags or gym bags filled with small-denomination bills . Despite the suspicious nature of the deposits , the bank did not investigate and file timely and complete SARs reporting the activity . These untimely filings , the absence of supplementary SARs and the errors in the SARs that the bank did file hindered law enforcement 's ability to initiate investigations on these accounts in a timely manner , resulting in the laundering of millions of dollars of drug proceeds through these accounts . Ferrario was indicted in December 1998 for money laundering in connection with certain deposits to Banco Popular and was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment in 2002 . Under the Bank Secrecy Act , banks are required to have comprehensive anti-money laundering programs that enable them to identify and report suspicious financial transactions to the U.S. Treasury Department 's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network . As part of their anti-money laundering programs , banks must report suspicious activities through the filing of SARs . Since April 1 , 1996 , banks have been required to submit SARs to FinCEN in all instances in which one or more transactions aggregate $ 5,000 or more , and the bank knows or suspects the transaction involves , or is conducted to conceal , funds derived from illegal activities or may be used to evade a law or a reporting requirement . The SARs are a critical tool in law enforcement 's efforts to investigate and prosecute cases . `` The lengthy U.S. Customs/IRS investigation into Banco Popular de Puerto Rico established that millions of dollars worth of drug proceeds were laundered through this bank over a period of several years , '' Customs Commissioner Bonner said . `` In some cases , gym bags full of cash were literally brought into the bank for deposit by money launderers . Despite its legal obligation to report these suspicious transactions to the government in a timely manner , Banco Popular , in some cases , chose not to report these transactions until years after the fact – and did so only after learning about the U.S. Customs/IRS investigation into the bank . '' David Palmer , Chief , Criminial Investigation , IRS , stated : `` The information filed today should send a clear message that financial institutions who serve as a conduit for criminal activity will be pursued . Money laundering is a serious crime that affects not only those persons directly involved , but the economy as a whole . '' James Sloan , director of FinCEN , noted that the BSA is designed to help prevent criminals from using the financial system to perpetrate criminal activity and to alert law enforcement when attempts are made to abuse the system . `` Most banks and other financial institutions throughout the United States have excellent programs in place to help ensure that they are not vulnerable to illegal exploitation and their record of BSA compliance is extremely good , '' Sloan said . `` However , the American people have a right to expect that when an institution violated the trust of its account holders and its responsibility to preserve the integrity of its operations , it will face public scrutiny and severe penalties . '' Chertoff , the head of the Criminal Division , praised the investigative efforts of the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Customs Service , which spanned more than four years . He also thanked the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for their support and assistance . The case was prosecuted by the Criminal Division 's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section – Chief John Roth , Deputy Chief Michael Davitt , and trial attorneys Stephen May , Cynthia Stone and Robert Boyer . Approximately two years ago , the city of San Juan , Puerto Rico , was designated as one of four `` High Intensity Financial Crimes Areas '' nationwide . This designation resulted in the formation of a multi-agency task force that investigates financial crimes , mainly those dealing with SARs that are filed by financial institutions in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands . # # # 03-024

Company to shift production from Brampton , Ont. , plant to operations in United States by 2016 TORONTO—A Unilever plant in Brampton , Ont. , that manufactures dry mixes for soups , sauces and other foods will close and its production capability shipped to the United States , the company announced this week . Most production is expected to finish by the end of next year with the final plant closure expected in March 2016 . John Le Boutillier , president and CEO of Unilever Canada , said the majority of the plant ’ s production will end up in the U.S. “ The decision to close the Bramalea plant came after a strategic review of the dry mix category in North America , ” Le Boutillier said in a statement . “ As more than 80 per cent of the volume produced at Bramalea is shipped to the United States , Unilever made the strategic decision to make its investment closer to where the bulk of the product is consumed. ” Le Boutillier said part of the decision was based on the large infusion of money into the dry-mix supply chain that would be required for the company to meet quality standards , customer service levels and future packaging innovations . Production of the dry mixes from the Brampton plant under the Knorr and Lipton brand names will move to Unilever ’ s plant in Independence , Mo . The decision to close the plant will affect about 280 salaried and hourly employees . Le Boutillier acknowledged the closure will hurt both employees and the community but said Unilever Canada is making significant investments in Canadian facilities which manufacture ice cream , margarine and mayonnaise products . Those investments include upgrades and enhancements at other Ontario sites . Amsterdam-based Unilever is one of the world ’ s major suppliers of food , home and personal care products , such as Dove soaps , with sales in more than 190 countries . The company reported lower revenues for its first quarter due to the effects of the euro and a decline in North America . It also said its foods arm , with Knorr soups and sauces and Hellmann ’ s mayonnaise , lagged .

Community Thrives grant to fund renovation of Mural Square Since it was painted in 2002 , artist Franc Palaia 's `` Olde Main Street '' mural has become a well-known spot along the 200 block of Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie . This summer , the Poughkeepsie Alliance aims to transform the vacant area in front of the 130-foot mural , known as Mural Square , into a functional public space with the aid of a grant from the A Community Thrives program . Thanks in part to an outpouring of online votes , the alliance received a $ 50,000 grant from the USA Today Network program to add amenities like tables , benches and an entertainment pavilion . REVITALIZATION : Underwear Factory opens in Poughkeepsie ARTIST : From Murals to photography , Palaia embraces arts Paul Calogerakis , chairman of the alliance , said the space could be used in the future to host community events like farmer ’ s markets , concerts and food festivals . He hopes for the project to be completed by the end of July . The Community Thrives program allowed organizations to submit three-minute videos discussing how they would improve their community in one of three areas : Wellness , Education or Arts & Culture . The 10 projects in each category that received the most online votes moved on to the finals , where a panel of judges narrowed the field down to the top three projects . First-place winners received $ 100,000 grants , with second- and third-place winners receiving $ 50,000 grants . Although the alliance sought funding for three projects , Calogerakis said A Community Thrives designated the $ 50,000 be used on the renovation of the lot between Nubian Directions and the Market Street parking garage . “ What will happen in that space , ” Calogerakis said , “ is that the alliance will build sidewalks , a path , benches , lighting , an entertainment pavilion. ” Mayor Rob Rolison said the project is part of the city ’ s ongoing efforts to establish “ great urban spaces ” that can enhance the quality of life for local residents and draw more people downtown . A big part of securing online votes , Calogerakis said , was recruiting people using alliance and county social media outlets . He said Facebook statistics indicated that one post reached almost 60,000 people . The entry video , too , helped excite people about the proposed projects , he said , with aerial shots of the city and community leaders discussing the importance of funding . And though the Community Thrives grant only address one project , Calogerakis said the alliance was awarded a $ 15,000 grant from the Nuhn Foundation to turn the Route 9 underpass near the Poughkeepsie Train Station into an “ artful gateway into the city. ” Jack Howland : jhowland @ poughkeepsiejournal.com , 845-437-4870 , Twitter : @ jhowl04

In courtrooms , extended periods of vital , excruciatingly boring procedure are peppered with moments of intense drama . The cases involve real lives , real victims and real issues of public safety that top anything you 'll find on Law & Order . Sometimes that 's hard to see because it plays out over months or even longer , rather than television 's one-hour solutions ( with commercials ) . The drama was , however , clear last week in Benton County Circuit Court , as Judge Robin Green gave voice to what many in the public she serves no doubt feel . She told Damon Wayne White , 41 , of Bentonville she believed there was a reservation for a place in hell for him . What ’ s the point ? Two young women faced their attacker and put him behind bars . A local judge appropriately gave them credit for saving others . Cruel ? Too much from a judge meant to be an impartial arbiter ? Not at all . White admitted to rape , sexual assault and two counts of engaging children in sexually explicit conduct for use in visual or print medium . Last year , a 15-year-old girl reported White forced her into sex on multiple occasions , recording some of them and threatening to distribute the video . A second girl , also 15 , came forward with a similar story . Given the chance to speak , he offered no apologies , but said he held no malice toward his accusers . Place in hell ? You betcha . What we appreciated hearing from Green even more , though , was her advice to the girls : `` You girls hold your heads up . '' Green called them heroes for taking steps that led to White 's arrest and protection for other girls . He was sentenced to a total of 100 years in prison . Parole wo n't be possible for 40 years . The girls ought to be proud , understanding that what predators like White do to their victims sometimes robs them of an ability to feel good about themselves . That 's why Green 's words to them were so important and needed . `` Damon White is an evil man , '' said Nathan Smith , Benton County 's prosecuting attorney . `` Yet , despite the vile acts he inflicted on his victims , these young women have overcome him . Their courage to confront him in court forced him to admit his guilt . '' These young women , now that their brave choices in a court of law are complete , deserve to indeed overcome what 's been done to them in every way so that he no longer has any hold on any aspect of their lives . He 's where he belongs , for a long time . Every day , the two young women should remind themselves of the many young girls they 've saved from peril . If that 's not the act of two wonder women , we do n't know what is . Commentary on 10/01/2018

Gallagher willing to stay as Lowestoft Town manager after initial discussions PUBLISHED : 12:21 07 May 2017 | UPDATED : 12:22 07 May 2017 Shirley D Whitlow Lowestoft Town boss Ady Gallagher is willing to stay with the Trawlerboys after holding initial discussions with chairman Gary Keyzor . Gallagher hinted that he was considering leaving Crown Meadow after a rollercoaster 2016/17 campaign off the field . Gallagher believes the club is at its lowest ebb in the last 10 years but feels a plan is being concocted for the club to progress on and off the field . “ At this moment in time , based on my initial discussions I ’ m happy to move forward with the club , ” said Gallagher . “ If the club can draw a line under the recent past then I will be here for as long as the club want me . “ I think it ’ s important from the supporters ’ point of view that we are open . “ I do not want to stay at this level forever at Lowestoft but it has to be accepted that we haven ’ t got the finances to compete with the big hitters in this league . “ However , I still believe we can formulate a squad that can do well at this level . “ As long as they club as I feel the club is moving forward then I ’ m really happy to take that on. ” Gallagher revealed that next season ’ s budget will be half of what it initially was when he took sole charge at the Meadow two years ago . There will be player movement but Gallagher wants to ensure every single member of his squad feels wanted at the start of next season . “ I was unhappy with things last year and the way the players were treated , ” he added . “ There are many different issues that need to be addressed and the club need to get that in order in the way they look after the first team . You have to make sure you look after the players in the right way . Players need to feel like the club cares and respects them. ” Gallagher will be holding discussions with his squad after Monday ’ s Suffolk Premier Cup final against Needham Market . The Town boss admits there could be casualties as he looks to balance the books whilst maintaining a competitive squad . “ We ’ ve got to juggle things around in the squad as we need to free up some money , ” he said . “ The finances are very tight . We ’ ve got a very good nucleus of a squad – a couple of the players will go but if we can add a few more then I ’ m sure we can move forward . ”

NORTH JUDSON , Ind . -- Authorities in northern Indiana charged three people with neglect after a 3-year-old girl was found locked inside a wooden box for extended periods of time . Six other people , including four teenagers , were charged with failure to report child abuse . WSBT-TV reports officers with the Pulaski County Sheriff 's Department executed a search warrant at a home in North Judson Wednesday and found the girl locked inside a plywood box in the living room . Forty-two-year-old Donna Short , 25-year-old Christopher Short and 18-year-old Patricia Meeks face neglect charges . `` I 'm devastated by it , you know , if they did n't want them . I 've tried to tell them all , I 'll take them in a minute , '' the child 's grandfather , Frank Jackson , said . Jackson has been working to gain custody of his two grandchildren since his daughter died two years ago . The 3-year-old girl found in the box has an older brother who is 7 years old . `` I just do n't understand why they could do this to the kids , knowing there 's a good home for them to go to , '' Jackson said . `` Oh , it just breaks your heart . And even the other kid in the house , you just look at that and think , 'My God , how does this happen ? ' '' Pulaski County Sheriff Jeffery Richwine said . Richwine said that while not as severe , cases of child abuse are all too common . `` We see that on a regular basis , to be quite honest , I think . I think you see kids put back into houses that they should never be in there , '' he said . `` If you can lock a child in a box for long periods of time , who knows what he 's capable of ? '' Both believe the problem is with Child Protective Services ' policy . `` I 've heard several DCS people say that their plan is to put families back together . Somewhere you got to say that 's probably not the best environment for these kids whose parents ca n't and wo n't get their acts together , '' Richwine said . In the meantime , the sheriff has a short-term plan so that innocent children end up in loving homes , instead of boxes . `` We 've gotten with the prosecutor , and what we 've decided we 're going to do is start arresting people for neglect , '' he said . The girl and five juveniles were released to the custody of the Indiana Department of Child Services . The Associated Press contributed to this report .

20 % at UTEP report sexual harassment , 7 % rape UTEP student survey found that 7 percent of students reported being raped . - The survey found that 13 percent of all students reported being stalked One in five students reported being sexually harassed by other students at the University of Texas at El Paso , according to an extensive new survey of schools in the University of Texas System . The first-of-its-kind study examined stalking , sexual harassment , and sexual and domestic-dating violence in the lives of students on and off campus at University of Texas institutions across the state . The UTEP student survey found that 7 percent of students reported being raped , 17 percent of female undergraduate students reported being victims of stalking and 20 percent of students reported sexual harassment by other students . The survey found that 13 percent of all students reported being stalked . `` These are tough topics , '' Gary Edens , vice president for student affairs at UTEP , said at a news conference Friday after the survey results were released . `` Nobody wants to see this kind of information , '' Edens said . `` But it ’ s critically important that we attack this directly and we take these things seriously and the only way we can do that is to understand what ’ s happening . And this survey allows us to understand what ’ s happening to our students on and off campus . '' The survey found that 12 percent of UTEP students reported sexist gender harassment by a faculty or staff member compared with 14 percent throughout the UT System . The UTEP results were comparable with those throughout the UT System , including 6 percent of students who reported having been raped since enrolling in school , 13 percent who reported being stalked and 25 percent who reported sexual harassment by other students . `` While the UTEP data is similar to what is reported by other institutions in the UT System with no major outliers , we feel strongly that even one case of sexual harassment or assault is too many , ” Edens said . Read : Leader of 'diabolical ' murder plot gets life UTEP officials said that the survey would be used to improve training , awareness and outreach efforts that already exist on campus to deal with harassment , sexual misconduct and domestic violence . `` What we found was that only 11 percent of anybody experiencing a situation ever let a UTEP individual know , whether a faculty member in a classroom or a staff member , '' Edens said . `` We want to make sure that students are comfortable and this is an open and safe environment to report anything that has happened . '' The majority of victims ( 80 percent ) and nonvictims ( 88 percent ) reported feeling safe on the UTEP campus , according to the survey . UTEP has more than 23,000 students and is mainly a commuter school with the vast majority of students living off campus . Most of the incidents in the survey occurred off campus , Edens said . UTEP Dean of Students Catie McCorry-Andalis said that information from the survey would be used to improve sexual harassment training , counseling and violence-intervention programs already on campus . “ When we hear only 11 percent are reporting to us — we want that to change for our students , even if that happened off campus , '' McCorry-Andalis said . The Cultivating Learning and Safe Environments survey was part of a $ 1.7 million study commissioned by UT System Chancellor William McRaven as part of efforts to enhance safety at universities . `` If we want to understand and continuously improve our campus culture in order to facilitate student success , then we have to be open and honest about our students ' experiences beyond the classroom , no matter how uncomfortable it is , '' McRaven said in a statement . More than 28,700 UT System students , including 3,012 students at UTEP , took part in confidential and extensive online questionnaires conducted by UT Austin 's Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault .
