A young man was attacked by four at a Rodeo park. Police now believe it was a form of street justice against an accused rapist

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:35:42 GMT

RODEO — On Sept. 11, 2022, Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report that a group of teenagers lured 19-year-old Ayden Pacheco to a playground on Coral Drive and that four of them violently assaulted him when he arrived.But by the investigation’s end, it would be Pacheco — not his alleged attackers — who would wind up in jail. That’s because police determined that the attack on Pacheco was committed by friends of one of two teens he’s suspected of sexually assaulting during the summer of 2022. One of the alleged victims, a girl younger than 16, was allegedly assaulted inside an El Sobrante church where Pacheco helped lead a youth group.Last month, Contra Costa prosecutors charged Pacheco with 11 felonies, including forcible rape, assault with intent to commit rape, forcible sexual penetration, oral copulation with a minor, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, and forcible oral copulation.

President Biden visits Bay Area, uses social media as cautionary tale to guide AI laws

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:35:42 GMT

President Joe Biden, in a visit Tuesday to the epicenter of the technology industry, pointed to the dangers of unrestrained social media as he called for federal laws to protect Americans from fast-accelerating new artificial intelligence.“Social media is already showing us the harm … powerful technology can do without the right safeguards in place,” Biden said in San Francisco before meeting with AI experts and researchers. “That’s why I said at the state of the union that Congress needs to pass bipartisan privacy legislation to impose strict limits on personal data collection, ban targeted advertising to our children, and require companies to put health and safety first.”Significant downsides to social media have emerged in recent years, as researchers and news media documented shadowy sales of personal data, online-addiction maladies including eating disorders among children, the spread of divisive and politicized misinformation, and foreign interference in U.S....

By Seung Min Kim | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden whose plea deal on federal tax and gun charges was made public Tuesday, is by no means the first presidential relative whose personal troubles have brought unwelcome headlines and headaches for a White House.The younger Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses in an agreement that also allows him to avoid full prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as long as he abides by certain conditions. The deal closes a long-running Justice Department probe into Hunter Biden, long known to struggle with substance abuse.Children of U.S. presidents, like Hunter Biden, have long been subjects of fascination and curiosity, with their every move under public scrutiny.Former President Donald Trump’s son Donald Jr., for one, was in the news for meeting with Russian operatives offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential camp...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:35:42 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Counter-terrorism experts said Tuesday that Africa is now the world’s terrorism hot spot, with half of the victims killed last year in sub-Saharan Africa, though al-Qaida and Islamic State affiliates remain widespread, persistent and active elsewhere around the globe. Interpol, the international criminal police agency, also reported during a panel discussion at the U.N. that terrorism linked to extreme right-wing ideology increased an estimated 50-fold over the past decade, particularly in Europe, North America and parts of the Asia-Pacific.The experts see other trends: Deteriorating global security is making the terrorism threat “more complex and decentralized.” Extremists are increasingly using sophisticated technology, and drones and artificial intelligence have opened new ways to plan and carry out attacks.The United Nations this week is hosting its third high-level conference of heads of counter-terrorism agencies.
