Former MLB pitcher Carl Pavano accused of peeing in ex-wife’s shampoo bottles


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

After it was revealed earlier this month that cops have been called to the home of former MLB pitcher Carl Pavano and his ex-wife nine times over the last two years, more heinous allegations against Pavano have emerged.

Pavano was initially accused of “controlling behavior,” including name-calling, cutting off her expenses and threatening to take their children amid an ugly prenup battle.

Their divorce was finalized last December, but a new court filing by Pavano’s ex, Alissa, claims that Pavano would pee in her shampoo bottles and “intentionally soiled the bed in which Plaintiff sleeps during her parenting time by having his female sex partners occupy the bed,” according to CT Insider.

Pavano then allegedly “removed all clean linens from the house so that Plaintiff is unable to have a hygienically clean and safe bed during her parenting time.”

The ex-pitcher also allegedly sent photos of “multiple firearms laid out on the kitchen table” to Alissa and their children in a group chat shortly after divorce papers were served.

The couple currently share custody of their three children and alternate weeks with them in a Fairfield, Connecticut, home. Pavano owns the home through a trust.

Alissa accused the former pitcher of forcing her to sign the prenup she says is one-sided.

“A prenuptial agreement is an acceptable way for individuals, prior to marriage, to condition how their financial interests and responsibilities will be determined after marriage,” Alissa’s lawyers said in a brief, via the New York Post.

“It should not be an acceptable way for a monied spouse who has already started a family with his significant other to force her to give up her financial independence, and then to extract financial advantages in the premarital agreement under the threat of taking the minor children away from her and leaving her destitute.”

Pavano pitched for the Montreal Expos, Florida Marlins, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins, being named an All-Star in 2004. He pitched to a 4.81 ERA in his career, with his biggest payday coming from the Yankees. However, he only made 26 starts in his four seasons with them and is widely considered one of their worst signings.

Judge bans reporting on trial of six men accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls in Bristol | Bristol

0

Six men have gone on trial at Bristol crown court accused of grooming and sexually assaulting vulnerable teenage girls in the city.

They were allegedly part of a large group of men who abused girls over several years. All six men deny the charges against them, which involved “multiple complainants”.

The trial is expected to last 12 weeks but reporting restrictions mean full details, including the defendant’s names, cannot be revealed.

After a challenge to the restrictions by media organisations including the Guardian, Judge Macmillan, who is overseeing the trial, allowed some information about the case and the nature of the charges to be reported, acknowledging there was a public concern about “grooming gangs”.

She said: “There is a particular public interest at the present in information about serious sexual offending carried out by ‘grooming gangs’ and in issues of transparency about such matters. These issues are, quite properly, subjects of significant public comment and concern.”

Earlier this year, the prosecution applied for a postponement of all reporting of the trial until all verdicts had been returned. It argued that reporting risked prejudice to the administration of justice. The postponing order was granted.

This week a number of media organisations challenged the ruling, arguing that the trial should be reported as it happened in the interest of open justice.

But the judge said she did not believe it was possible to lift the restriction, expressing concerns that there was a significant risk witnesses’ evidence could be contaminated.

She said: “Given the level of public interest this trial is likely to attract, I am satisfied that any contemporaneous reporting of evidence in this trial is likely to come to the attention of witnesses and would result in a significant risk of witness contamination. This, in turn, would undermine the prospect of a fair trial.”

She added: “I am satisfied that revoking the existing order would give rise to a risk of serious prejudice to the administration of justice in this trial.”

The judge varied the existing order so that the fact of the trial, the general nature of the charges and the existence of her order could be reported.

The trial continues.

FBI reports violent crime, murder fell at highest rate since 1937 in US


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Violent crime fell across the United States from 2024 to 2025, with murders falling by more than 18%, as well as declines in other major categories not seen in almost a century, according to the FBI.

The numbers were part of the FBI’s figures on preliminary annual crime trends titled “First Look: 2025 Crime Data,” which the bureau said provides a faster, “early look” at annual crime trends before the finalized, comprehensive “Crime in the Nation” report is published later in the year.

In addition to declining homicides, the report showed a decrease in robberies — which fell an estimated 18.5% — as well as rapes and aggravated assaults, both of which saw 7% drops.

“The 2025 crime data in this report shows the single largest decrease in violent crime and murder since 1937 – as well as huge decreases across the board in terms of aggravated assault, rape, and robbery,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.

“Over the last 14 months, we made major transformations at the FBI, and these results show those changes are working,” Patel said in a statement. “This FBI will continue to stack these wins for the American people under President Trump and always Back the Blue every step of the way.”

Property crime, which includes offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft and arson, dropped by an estimated 12.4%, the FBI said. This year’s report used data shared by roughly 17,075 law enforcement agencies — 2.4% more agencies than last year — across the U.S., accounting for nearly 96% of U.S. residents, the FBI said.

US CRIME DROPPED WIDELY IN 2024, FBI SAYS — WITH SOME NOTABLE CAVEATS

The report found that 53 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty in 2025, down from 64 in 2024. More than 90,000 were assaulted and 28 were accidentally killed, the FBI said.

Meanwhile, nearly 414,000 arrests were made for violent crimes and another 868,000 for property crimes. The FBI noted that a murder in the U.S. occurred every 37.3 minutes and a violent crime happened every 28.2 seconds.

Meanwhile, a quarterly report released by the Major Cities Chiefs Association said violent crime fell across large U.S. cities in the first months of 2026.

Data collected from 67 responding U.S. police agencies found that homicides fell 17.7%, alongside a 20.4% drop for robberies from Jan. 1 through March 31. Some of the agencies include police departments in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Philadelphia.

Iran urges BRICS nations to condemn US-Israeli war aggression | US-Israel war on Iran News

0

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on fellow BRICS nations to condemn what he called violations of international law by the United States and Israel, as the war in the Middle East and the related fuel crisis dominate the two-day gathering in the Indian capital, New Delhi.

Araghchi accused the United Arab Emirates, a US ally, on Thursday of direct involvement in military operations against Iran, in a rare moment when Iranian and Emirati officials have been in the same room since the US and Israel’s war on Iran began at the end of February.

Araghchi said Iran was a “victim of illegal expansionism and warmongering”. He urged BRICS+ nations – a grouping comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the UAE – to resist “Western hegemony and the sense of impunity that the US believes it is entitled to”.

“Iran therefore calls upon BRICS member states and all responsible members of the international community to explicitly condemn violations of international law by the United States and Israel,” he said.

Later, Araghchi told the gathering that the UAE was “directly involved in the aggression against my country”, the Iranian semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

In response to the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, Tehran launched strikes on US military sites and assets in Gulf States, including the UAE.

It was not immediately clear how or whether the UAE and other nations attending the BRICS+ meeting had responded to Araghchi’s remarks.

India was hosting the foreign ministers from the expanded BRICS bloc, which now includes Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE – countries at odds over the war in the Middle East.

“We meet at a time of considerable flux in international relations,” India’s Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said in his opening speech, before closed meetings began.

Divided BRICS ‘not good’

Disruptions around Gulf shipping routes and the Strait of Hormuz continue to drive volatility in oil and gas markets, increasing pressure on energy-importing economies, including India.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs also condemned an attack on an Indian-flagged ship off Oman on Wednesday as “unacceptable” – with all sailors rescued safely by Muscat.

“We deplore the fact that commercial shipping and civilian mariners continue to be targeted,” the foreign ministry said, without giving further details of who launched the attack.

Araghchi insisted that the Strait of Hormuz “is open for all” commercial vessels that “cooperate” with its navy.

The US and Israel’s war on Iran has added strain to India’s economy, heavily reliant on Middle Eastern energy supplies and fertiliser imports, and has cast uncertainty over India’s growth outlook.

India, the world’s third-largest oil buyer, normally sources about half of its crude through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil passes in peacetime.

India will hold a BRICS leaders’ summit later this year, and the foreign ministers will also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the foreign ministry said.

With deep divisions among some members over the war in the Middle East, it was not clear whether BRICS, which operates on consensus, would release a joint statement at the meeting’s end.

Iran’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi told news agency Press Trust of India that “one member country” had pushed for language condemning Iran, complicating efforts to build consensus within the grouping.

“We want India’s BRICS chairship to be successful. It is not a good approach to send a signal to the world that the BRICS is divided,” Gharibabadi said.

Parents of girls’ track star facing trans athlete speak out against Newsom over Title IX crisis


Another weekend of chaos approaches in the world of California girls’ track and field, as an ongoing Title IX crisis has rattled parents in the southern region of the state.

Crean Lutheran High School senior Reese Hogan came in second place to a trans athlete in girls’ high jump at the first round of the sectional preliminary round of the state tournament last Saturday. Hogan finished second to that same trans athlete in the sectional final last season, and went viral for stepping up to the first-place pedestal after the trans athlete stepped down.

Now, as Hogan prepares to face that trans athlete again in this year’s sectional finals on Saturday, her parents are publicly condemning Gov. Gavin Newsom, for allowing a trans athlete to compete against and beat their daughter in the state tournament for the third year in a row.

“As a parent witnessing the current state of high school athletics, I am deeply disappointed by Governor Newsom’s recent comments regarding transgender participation in girls’ sports,” read a statement from Hogan’s parents to Fox News Digital.

“While the Governor has previously acknowledged that this is an issue of ‘fairness,’ his more recent rhetoric—which labels those advocating for protected female categories as ‘bullies’—is both dismissive and profoundly out of touch with the reality our daughters face on the field and the track.”

Hogan is a Freeway League Field Player of the Year and has set her school’s record in the triple jump. Her athletic accomplishments have been a source of pride and emotion for her whole family.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS’ TRACK AND FIELD STARS SPEAK OUT AS GAVIN NEWSOM’S TITLE IX CRISIS GROWS

“Watching a child dedicate years of their life to a sport is a journey marked by sacrifice. We have seen Reese work through grueling hours of practice, push through physical injuries, and overcome mental hurdles, all for the chance to compete,” the statement continued.

Now the parents are pleading for a fair chance for their daughter in her senior year, as she has one last chance to win a sectional and state championship.

“As parents, we don’t ask for a path cleared of obstacles; we ask for a level playing field where hard work and biological reality are respected. As the season enters CIF divisional finals, then on to Masters and eventually State the stakes are no longer about ‘participation.’ These athletes are competing for much more: state titles which is the culmination of years of dedication and focus,” the statement said.

“Podium Placements, which are often the gateway to collegiate scouting and scholarships. Record books which should reflect the highest achievements within the female category. No athlete at this level wants a shared trophy designed to avoid political friction. They want the titles they earn through sweat and merit.”

CALIFORNIA GIRLS’ TRACK ATHLETE OPENS UP ON LOSING FIRST-PLACE TITLE TO TRANS COMPETITOR

“When policies prioritize gender identity over biological sex in competitive sports, they effectively tell our daughters that their hard work is secondary to a political narrative. It is heart-wrenching to watch and realize that no amount of extra training can bridge the physiological gap present in these competitions.”

A source at Newsom’s office previously provided a statement to Fox News Digital in response to news that a “Save Girls Sports” rally, which Hogan attended, would be held at last Saturday’s meet.

“The Governor has said discussions on this issue should be guided by fairness, dignity, and respect. He rejects the right wing’s cynical attempt to weaponize this debate as an excuse to vilify individual kids. The Governor’s position is simple: stand with all kids and stand up to bullies,” the statement read.

“California is one of 22 states that have laws requiring students be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school sports consistent with their gender identity. California passed this law in 2013 (AB 1266) and it was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown.”

Hogan herself spoke out against Newsom at the rally last Saturday.

“The recent statements coming from Governor Gavin Newsom’s office have made it clear that there is no intention of creating a safe, fair, and equitable environment for female high school athletes. Him and his office have gone as far as calling young girls bullies for speaking up for what we believe in,” Hogan said.

“The governor himself has admitted that males competing in women’s sports is unfair, yet nothing is being done to protect girls who train every day to compete on a level playing field.”

Hogan will compete at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section Final on Saturday in Moorpark, California.

And just like last year, there will be a podium ceremony after the competitions.

White House says Trump and Xi agree Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The White House described how President Donald Trump had a “good meeting” with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday, saying in its readout that the two sides discussed ways to “enhance economic cooperation,” expand market access for American business into China and “increase Chinese investment into our industries.”

“Leaders from many of the United States’ largest companies joined a portion of the meeting,” the White House noted. “The Presidents also highlighted the need to build on progress in ending the flow of fentanyl precursors into the United States, as well as increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural products.”

The White House said the U.S. and China agreed that the Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon.

“The two sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to support the free flow of energy. President Xi also made clear China’s opposition to the militarization of the Strait and any effort to charge a toll for its use, and he expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China’s dependence on the Strait in the future. Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” the White House noted.

While Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. position on Taiwain remains unchanged following Trump and Xi’s meeting, China’s foreign ministry said “Xi stressed that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations.”

“If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy. ‘Taiwan independence’ and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water. Safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is the biggest common denominator between China and the U.S.,” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. “The U.S. side must exercise extra caution in handling the Taiwan question.”
