True Crime Reality

It was a powerful and emotional day in a Manhattan courtroom that ended with the judge sentencing Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander to 30 years each for drugging and raping dozens of women for more than a decade. 11 women came forward to read their victim impact statements to a packed courtroom, some of them directly addressing the brothers. The Alexander brothers were once wealthy, powerful men who used their status to lure women and teenagers to exotic locations where they sexually abused them. Each brother pleaded for mercy from the judge, but continued to plead their innocence.

The latest online controversy is heartbreaking, namely because there is a super talented, 3-year-old little boy in the middle of it. Nevada Pierre has a huge and growing social media presence because he’s got game; the videos posted show a toddler phenom on the soccer field and that’s what his parents say got other parents upset at a youth soccer game over the weekend. The sports organizer ultimately called 9-1-1 on the parents - admittedly not for an emergency - but because he claimed the mom was “unruly” after complaining her son was taken out of the game because he was “too good.” The highlight of this story: the cops, whose body cam footage shows officers who were there to protect and serve everyone that day.
