Yahoo11-02-2025

A circuit judge in Orange County has sided with Orange County Public Schools after a mother of two was 'banned' from any school activities after appearing on the adult site OnlyFans.
In 2021, Victoria Triece, who had been volunteering at her children's elementary school, was told she was banned from participating in any activities where she would have access to children.
In July of 2021, the elementary school principal received an anonymous email from a parent complaining about Triece's work on the site OnlyFans and other social media.

In the email, the parent stated: 'One of the room mothers that spends time at the school is publicly posting pornography thru various sources on the internet.'
In 2023, Triece filed a lawsuit against Orange County Public Schools to get the ban lifted and to be reinstated as a volunteer at the school.

'Everything I devoted myself to was ripped out of my hands with no proper reason,' Triece said in an interview with Channel 9 in 2023.
According to court documents, a judge ruled that Triece does not have 'a right' to volunteer in the ADDitions Program.

Tori Spelling sued by bank over alleged unpaid loan

Tori Spelling has been sued by her former bank over an allegedly unpaid loan. The 90210 alumnus and her estranged husband, Dean McDermott, were named in a new lawsuit that claims they never paid a loan given to them in 2012. The legal filing stated Tori, 52, and Dean, 58, took out a loan for $400,000 (£298,000), but by 2016 had stopped making repayments, with the bank submitting paperwork to the courts at that time declaring they owed more than $188,000 (£140,000). In 2017, a judge ordered Tori and Dean to repay $220,088.37 (£163,740) to the bank. However, after they again failed to make the required repayments, a further judgment was issued in 2019 that awarded the bank more than $400,000 - accrued interest had blown the debt back up to the cost of the original loan. The estranged spouses, who formally split in 2023, share children Liam Aaron, 18, Stella Doreen, 17, Hattie Margaret, 13, Finn Davey, 12, and Beau Dean, eight. Dean also shares son Jack, 26, with his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace, 63. Tori has made no secret over the years of her financial struggles and last year joked she may launch an OnlyFans account to cover her children's upcoming university expenses. "I'm gonna have to go on OnlyFans in order to get them into college," Tori told William Shatner when she interviewed him on her Misspelling podcast. "OnlyFans is a site I guess, originally, it was more women in the field - not sex workers - but along those lines, but now actresses do it."

Love Island's Georgia Harrison: 'I re-read my MBE letter three times'

The sexual abuse campaigner and former reality star Georgia Harrison has told the BBC she is "honoured" to be receiving an MBE. Harrison, 30, will be awarded for her efforts to tackle violence against women and girls, which includes working with the government on the Online Safety Act in 2023. She says she feels "a responsibility to help" the many women who are victims of crimes such as intimate image abuse and deepfaking. Her ex-partner Stephen Bear was jailed for 21 months in 2023 after uploading sexual footage of himself and Harrison to OnlyFans filmed without her consent. Harrison, who is being awarded her MBE as part of the King's Birthday Honours, said she had to re-read the letter she received from King Charles "three times" as she "just couldn't believe it". "It's definitely not something I anticipated and it feels nice to have my work recognised because with campaigning sometimes you feel like a lot goes unnoticed," she told the BBC. The former reality star appeared on ITV shows such as The Only Way is Essex in 2017 and Love Island in 2018, where she entered the villa as a bombshell and gained nationwide fame. It was during 2019 that she entered MTV's The Challenge, where she met fellow reality star Bear. The pair dated on and off for a few months, with Harrison discovering in December 2020 that the now 35-year-old Bear had uploaded intimate CCTV footage of them to streaming service OnlyFans without her consent. She subsequently reported the crime and Bear was sentenced after being found guilty of voyeurism and discussing private, sexual photographs and films. Harrison was then awarded compensation in a damages claim and said she would donate some of the £207,900 to charity. She says she often feels a "responsibility to help" as she worries about the increase of social media influencers fuelling misogyny and sexism. Harrison, who is currently expecting her first child, said: "I'd be scared to have a teenager right now, being completely honest, I really would be terrified". "We've seen with the rise of Andrew Tate and some men thinking the thing to do with women is to mistreat them and think they can do what they want with them," she said. She added she feels the need to let women know, "they deserve to be treated fairly, they deserve consent and the right to their own bodies". A recent poll of teachers in the UK found three in five believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools - with Tate being named as a reason by a number of teachers in the poll. Harrison says she has been into some schools recently to watch consent workshops with primary school age children, describing them as "brilliant". She hopes that these type of lessons will have an impact for the next generation. "I'd like to think by the time my child gets to the age where consent becomes an issue, things are going to be a lot better, because we are doing something to educate around consent and that's something that's never really been done before in this generation," she added. Harrison says "on a positive note" women have told her case and "the strength you found" has encouraged them to take their perpetrators to court for causes of rape, domestic abuse and intimate image abuse. Since Bear's conviction in 2022, she has campaigned to increase the support for women and girls who have faced similar crimes to her by working on the Online Safety Act and as part of the Women and Equalities Committee. She says she has been working with the committee on improving timescales for women who want to report crimes against them - as currently they only have six months after a crime has taken place to tell the police about it. "It took me about four months to even realise a crime had been committed to me when it happened so its scary to think, had I been notified a few months later, I may not have had the right to justice. "It should be a lot easier for women out there," she added. Harrison says she has also been receiving more and more messages from victims of deepfakes, which are videos, pictures or audio clips made with AI to look or sound real. There have been recent concerns about schoolchildren using apps to distribute AI-generated deepfake content, despite the practice being illegal. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) - a UK-based charity partly funded by tech firms - said in February there had been 245 reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse in 2024 compared with 51 in 2023, a 380% increase. "I think [deepfake] technology is getting a lot more impressive and easier to access," Harrison said. Earlier this year, the government announced laws to tackle the threat of child sexual abuse images being generated by AI, which include making it illegal to possess, create, or distribute AI tools designed to create such material.

Central Florida law enforcement gears up for national protests

Law enforcement authorities are making arrangements for a day of nationwide protests that is scheduled for Saturday, June 14th. More than a dozen demonstrations are planned across major Central Florida cities, with at least one organized protest planned in Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Lake, Osceola and Brevard counties. According to organizers, a protest scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. outside Orlando City Hall is expected to draw more than 1,000 people. According to Channel 9, organizers have also reported that over 2,000 people have RSVPed for protests at the US 1 and SR 520 intersection in Cocoa, with more than 500 people expected to attend another demonstration at Florida 44 and Mission Drive in New Smyrna Beach. According to the organizers, they're planning to demonstrate on Flag Day, coincidentally also President Trump's birthday. Organizers say they're coming together to protest the president's plans for a military parade in Washington, D.C., and to show opposition to growing authoritarianism under the Trump Administration. Organizers call the event 'No Kings Day,' and they write on their website, 'A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation.' Amid unrest in California, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier emphasized that Florida law clearly prohibits rioting and includes enhanced penalties for those who break that law. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey also issued a stern warning to Floridians during a press conference in Titusville on Thursday. 'If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you graveyard dead,' Ivey said. On Friday, Channel 9 heard from Law Enforcement in Seminole, Osceola, Volusia and Orange Counties, who said they were aware of protests and were making necessary preparations. Most departments declined to provide specifics for security reasons. A spokesperson for the Orlando Police Department said, 'The Orlando Police Department is aware of the protest taking place downtown tomorrow and has made all necessary preparations. While OPD does not discuss specific security measures, we always assess the needs of large-scale events to make sure enough staff are on hand to protect and serve our community.'
