Fabletics names new marketing chief among management promotions
Fabletics announced on Wednesday the promotion of Carly Gomez to the role of chief marketing officer, alongside the expansion of Meera Bhatia's role from chief operating officer to the U.S. activewear brand's president and COO. Bhatia joined Fabletics in February 2020. As COO, she has led strategies across e-commerce, production, operations, and technology, while driving the brand's expansion into new channels. The California-based brand said her appointment to president and COO will see her remit now include product creation, retail, wholesale, and international operations, aligning both brand and operations. Likewise, Gomez joined Fabletics as senior vice president of brand marketing in April 2024. In her new role as CMO, she will lead all brand, digital innovation and customer engagement initiatives. 'Meera and Carly have been exceptional leaders for our team during a pivotal point in our growth trajectory,' said Adam Goldenberg, co-founder and CEO of Fabletics, who said both leaders will continue to play critical roles in propelling the brand forward, as it enters its next phase of growth. 'This is a big year for Fabletics, as we are on track exceed $1 billion in revenue while continuing to expand our retail fleet beyond our current 100+ stores. We're introducing new store formats and pursuing plans for international expansion – all while continuing to deliver the innovative partnerships and best-in-class product we are known for. We are thrilled to have Meera and Carly expand their roles and position us for continued success.' Last October, the brand announced its expansion into Mexico through a partnership with Liverpool, a local omnichannel retail group founded nearly 200 years ago.

Tourist seethes at influencer request to child in pool at Thai holiday resort
A holidaymaker has hit out at influencer culture for going too far as she urged content creators to let children play. The comments from @carlyleighgyally on TikTok came as she sunned herself by a beautiful pool in a resort in Thailand. Carly turned to her social media to express her outrage after a young child who was playing with her dad in the water was asked to move so an influencer could get a perfect picture, reports The Mirror. She explained: "This family's here and there's an adults-only pool literally 50 metres round the corner where there are no children. "This little girl who's playing with her dad in the pool, she's on his shoulders, she's the best swimmer I've ever had in my life and she's like five. I think it's really wholesome and sweet." Warning: Explicit language in video. But when a woman arrived and set herself up with a tripod, she wasn't happy that the stunning backdrop to the beautiful pool - a lush green landscape - was being "spoiled" by the family playing in it. "This f***** influencer pointed to the edge of the pool and was like: 'Can you go over there?'," raged the TikTokker. "'F*** off'. If you want a private pool to film content... go rent a villa." Much to the dismay of the holidaymaker, the "wholesome" family had moved when told and were now not fully enjoying themselves. "Now they're really uncomfortable at the side of the pool, they're not doing what they were doing anymore," she said. "I'm so annoyed at this b****." This unnamed influencer isn't the only one to annoy the public - earlier this year another content creator was slammed for asking a 12-year-old boy enjoying the sea view from Bondi's famous Icebergs Pool in Australia to move so she could pose. TikTok users were quick to agree with Carly this time around, with one telling her: "My partner makes it his mission to cannonball all influencer shots." Another jaw-dropping influencer story was shared in response to her video from a TikTokker called Jen, who said: "My fiancé proposed to me on holiday and had paid for the hotel to set up an area with flowers, candles and MARRY ME lights. The area was blocked off with a sign saying 'private event'. "After he proposed, we sat drinking champagne and these two influencers came over and started taking photos next to us! One of them even moved the private event sign out of the way! So I told them where to go." "Influencers in the wild are the worst people ever," added Carly of her original video. "You can't tell children to move, it is the worst humanly thing I've ever seen anyone do."

Brit tourist seething as influencer makes absurd request to little girl in pool

Fighting back against online predators
Despite improved home security and CCTV, every house is exposed to online attacks at any time. A computer is the modern-day version of a skeleton key that can open any lock. Which is why Sampson wants to tell his story. It is about one case in which he says he was a bit player. On March 3, 2007, Sampson was on call when he was told to head to Rosebud Police Station to carry out an arrest warrant from South Australia. It was for the murder of a 15-year-old girl killed on a beach at Horseshoe Bay, about 80 kilometres from Adelaide. Sampson knew it well. His family had owned a holiday house there, and he spent most summers on that beach. When police raided the unit, Garry Francis Newman was in his lounge room chatting online to a 14-year-old girl in Perth. Newman was 48. For 18 months, Newman had pretended to be a teenage rock guitarist as he pursued Carly Ryan online. He killed her when his pathetic masquerade was exposed. 'Newman was on the computer in the lounge room,' Sampson says. 'His son was there. Newman was clearly grooming another victim.' When the police officer examined the computer, he found three usernames: Brando, Gary and Gotza. The user Brando was logged in. When Sampson accessed the computer, there was a live chat on screen. It was clear the middle-aged man had taught himself to communicate as a teenager using adolescent slang and computer abbreviations. It was also clear he had many identities. It was found he had 200 identities. One was Brandon Kane, a Texan musician living in Melbourne. First 'Kane' chatted to a South Australian girl who was a friend of Carly's. Soon, Ryan was also in the chat. It is a classic predator move – gain trust through a friend, club or online social group. The target accepts the online identity because their friends appear to know him. Kane flattered and flirted with Carly as they talked about meeting. She wanted the guitarist to come to her home in Stirling, near Adelaide, for her 15th birthday on the 2007 Australia Day long weekend. Kane said he couldn't because he was flying back to the US for a brief visit, but his dad, Shane, would like to come over and meet her. Carly's mother, Sonya, was eventually persuaded to add the interstate guest. Shane turned up, and it was soon clear he was a creep. A court would later hear that Carly said the middle-aged man had been 'feeling her up'. Sonya kicked him out and followed up by emailing him, telling him not to come anywhere near her daughter again, and if he did, she would go to the police. She would later discover Shane had bought the 15-year-old sexually provocative clothing. Newman returned home filthy that his plans had been thwarted. Within three weeks, using his cyber character Shane, he had persuaded Carly to meet, this time near Horseshoe Bay. Carly, knowing her mother would never agree, told her she was going to have a sleepover at a friend's house. Newman drove nearly 850 kilometres to kill. It was not a crime of passion. 'His anger fuelled a sense of vengeance,' Sampson says. On February 20, sitting in the dunes, Newman gave the vulnerable teenager marijuana, then hit her in the head with a rock. He turned her facedown, pressing her face in the sand to smother her. Convinced she was dead, he began to walk away. 'Then she coughed, and so he came back to drag her into the shallows to drown her,' says Sampson. Newman had convinced himself he was smart by manipulating kids (he had earlier threatened online to butcher a girl in Singapore who saw through his tactics). But investigator Sampson says: 'He was an idiot who left a trail of evidence.' So much so, he was raided and arrested at Rosebud less than two weeks later. Sampson says that even though Newman faced a mountain of evidence, 'he remained defiant and decided to plead not guilty'. When the officer was testifying in a small court, Sampson recalls: 'Newman would lean towards you and glare to try and intimidate. He was an absolute prick.' He even chose to glare at the judge – not a good idea, as she was the one who decided his sentence. In her final remarks, Justice Trish Kelly of the South Australian Supreme Court, didn't miss. 'It was a terribly cruel thing you did to this beautiful, impressionable 14-year-old child,' she said. 'I say 'child' because that's what she was – a child who fell in love with the idea of the handsome, musically inclined and rather exotic Brandon Kane. The real man was an overweight, balding, middle-aged paedophile with sex and murder on his mind. Loading 'When your deception came unravelled, you killed Miss Ryan. You left in your wake a devastated and inconsolably grief-stricken mother, family and friends. 'You were sexually obsessed with Miss Ryan to the degree that, when you could not get your own way, you prepared to, and did, kill her.' Newman was given life with a minimum of 29 years. Carly's mother, Sonya Ryan, says she knew that if he hadn't been convicted he would have continued to prey on teenage girls. 'I knew Carly wouldn't be the last. He was grooming multiple girls, one in Singapore and one in the US.' Loading Ryan has spent more than 15 years using her daughter's death to try to protect others, turning herself into an expert in the field and a tireless lobbyist for change. She set up the Carly Ryan Foundation to educate adolescents on how to navigate social media safely and to provide laws to protect children. 'Out of the grief came clarity, and I could see what was coming,' she says. 'I am grateful I am doing something Carly would want me to do. We have to create shields to protect our children.' Eventually, politicians listened and passed what is known as Carly's Law in federal parliament. The legislation makes it an offence for an adult to masquerade as a minor online. It allows police to move in before the child has been successfully groomed and has a maximum penalty of 10 years' jail. Ryan became South Australian of the Year in 2013, and was made an officer of the Order of Australia in 2021. Ryan, who is in the US talking to politicians about introducing Carly's Law, says the online world is more dangerous for kids than ever before. She knows such crimes are international and require an international defence. In the federal police operation Blackheath, officers identified 47 offenders who tricked young people to perform sexually explicit acts online. The predators record the images to sell to international pay-for-view platforms. Police found about 100 victims in the US, Britain, Russia, Denmark, Argentina, South Korea, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Italy, South Africa, Germany and France. The Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation receives about 100 reports a month of children being targeted online. 'Children now carry mini-computers in their pocket,' says Ryan. 'Wherever children are online, there are predators. 'AI is really concerning. It is a new tool for criminals. With AI, children can be groomed in minutes.
