After Being Kidnapped By A Man She Met On Roblox, A Young Girl Has Returned

Image
After allegedly being kidnapped by a man she met on the children's game app Roblox, a 13-year-old girl has been safely returned home. Howard Graham was detained, according to police, when they discovered he had persuaded the little girl to leave her home in Kansas after only two days of communicating on the app. Sex trafficking, kidnapping, and rape have all been filed against the 33-year-old. Roblox allows users to play with their friends or random strangers. It is one of the most popular children's games in the world, with over 150 million monthly users. Mr Graham and the little girl originally met on the app on February 18th, according to Police Cpt John Ivey. Investigators say the teenager stole out of her Topeka home two days later and was reportedly picked up by Mr Graham, who transported her 900 miles to his residence in Clayton County, Georgia. Police said she was sexually attacked "several times" over the next few days, according to them. The girl eventually

A Tennis Star Has Returned To Ukraine To Assist In The Fight Against The Russians, He Kept It A Secret From His Children

Sergiy Stakhovsky, a Ukrainian tennis player, was on holiday in Dubai with his family when Russian forces invaded his homeland. He made the difficult decision to leave his wife and three small children behind in Hungary and return to fight in his nation. He is now a reserve in the Ukrainian army, assisting in the defense of Kyiv, the country's capital. As a Russian military convoy approaches the city and fear fills the air, Stakhovsky, 36, says he is ready to go to any length. On Thursday, he stated that his purpose is to assist in the saving of Ukraine for its population and his children. "I was born here, my grandparents are buried here, and I'd like to be able to tell my kids about the past," he said. "No one wants Russia to free them; they already have freedom and democracy... Russia wants to bring despair and poverty to them." Stakhovsky had only recently announced his retirement from professional tennis at the Australian Open, capping an 18-year career

Biden Has Promised To Seize The Yachts Of Russian Oligarchs

The ships, which may be as long as a football field and contain helipads and swimming pools, have appeared in ports all over the world, towering above surrounding fishing vessels and motorboats like giants. Russian billionaires' yachts, which include some of the world's largest and most opulent "superyachts," are dazzling emblems of how Russia's rich have thrived under President Vladimir Putin's rule. As Russian forces intensify their deadly war campaign in Ukraine, the yachts are becoming a target for the US and its European allies, who have vowed to take property owned by Putin's cronies. French investigators seized a yacht Wednesday night that they said was related to Igor Sechin, a sanctioned Russian oil executive and close Putin confidant, as it prepared to escape a port. The ship's management business, on the other hand, denied that Sechin was the owner. Near addition, the White House announced that German officials had taken another oligarch'

Gavin Williamson, The Former Secretary Of State For Education, Will Be Knighted

Gavin Williamson, the former defence secretary and education secretary, will be knighted. In September's reshuffle, the Conservative MP for South Staffordshire was fired from the cabinet. Mr Williamson received calls to resign from the opposition over his management of the pandemic's disruption to England's schools and tests. The 45-year-old, who worked in manufacturing before joining politics, formerly served as the government's main whip. He was awarded a CBE in 2016 for his political and public service, and his knighthood is believed to be for the same reasons. Mr Williamson was initially elected to Parliament in 2010, and under Prime Minister Theresa May, he became chief whip, in charge of Conservative Party discipline, in 2016. He famously maintained a pet tarantula named Cronus on his desk while in that position. Mrs May appointed Mr Williamson as defence secretary in 2017, a position he held until 2019, when she fired him, claiming she had "lost faith in his

Mr Shuvalov served as the deputy prime minister of Russia under President Vladimir Putin and is now the chairman of a Russian bank's management board. Their assets will be frozen, and they will be barred from entering the UK under the new limitations imposed by the UK government. They will not be able to deal with British citizens or enterprises. "We will continue to utilize every power we have to inflict maximum economic pain on Putin and his war machine as long as he continues his barbarous onslaught on innocent Ukrainians," Boris Johnson stated. "We won't stop here," Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said, "our goal is to destroy the Russian economy and starve Putin's war machine." The two men had "major interests in the UK and close ties to the Kremlin," according to the authorities. Mr. Usmanov formed the USM Holding corporation, which owns iron, steel, and copper suppliers as well as the Megafon telecommunications company. Mr Usmanov
