Tutor accused of molesting his 12-year-old student in a Broward County public library

A 63-year-old sixth-grade teacher molested one of his tutoring students, a 12-year-old girl, in a private study room of a public library, Plantation police said.

Leslie Wolfe was arrested Thursday and charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim, age 12 to 16, by an adult and lewd and lascivious conduct by an adult. Broward County jail records say Wolfe’s bond has been set at $150,000 and he had yet to post as of Monday afternoon.

Wolfe teaches sixth grade at Bethlehem Junior Academy, 6855 W. Commercial Blvd. in Tamarac. School officials didn’t return a message left with the receptionist by a Miami Herald reporter.

Police say the lewd and lascivious behavior occurred at the West Broward Regional Library, 8601 W. Broward Blvd., during a private tutoring session. As Wolfe has tutored numerous kids in the past, police wonder if there are any other victims.

The case is being handled by Plantation police detective Miguel Lopez at 954-797-2218.

AmEx U.S. employees returning to office need to be fully vaccinated - memo
The memo, sent by Chief Executive Officer Stephen Squeri to all employees, also said wearing masks or other facial coverings will be optional in spaces marked only for company use. AmEx, which expects to bring its full workforce back to the office on Jan. 24 next year, does not expect to introduce mandatory COVID-19 testing programs with the vaccination requirement in place. Unvaccinated U.S. employees and those without any proof of vaccination can ask for a virtual work arrangement, the memo said, if they can effectively work from home.

Workers at federal prisons are committing some of the crimes
More than 100 federal prison workers have been arrested, convicted or sentenced for crimes since the start of 2019, including a warden indicted for sexual abuse, an associate warden charged with murder, guards taking cash to smuggle drugs and weapons, and supervisors stealing property such as tires and tractors. An Associated Press investigation has found that the federal Bureau of Prisons, with an annual budget of nearly $8 billion, is a hotbed of abuse, graft and corruption, and has turned a blind eye to employees accused of misconduct. In some cases, the agency has failed to suspend officers who themselves had been arrested for crimes.

El Dorado County teacher to be sentenced for child pornography after mistakenly uploading video
A former El Dorado County teacher is set to appear in court after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography and child abuse charges. His entire case began after a video sent by mistake. Ryan Michael Pullen, who was a Union Mine High School drama teacher in the El Dorado area near Diamond Springs, is scheduled for sentencing in relation to his charges, according to the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. The district attorney's office said his offense came to light when Pullen inadvertently sent a 7-minute homemade video of multiple female students undressing and changing into costume to fellow high school employees. He was attempted to upload video to a Google Drive after the high school's assistant principal requested event content to add to a promotional video for incoming 8th-graders.

Defense tries to have Jesse Jackson removed from court in trial for Ahmaud Arbery death
(Reuters) -A lawyer for one of the three white men charged with murdering Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man, in their southern Georgia neighborhood failed in an attempt to have the judge remove civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson from the courtroom on Monday. The same lawyer, Kevin Gough, made a similarly unsuccessful attempt last week to get the court to prevent any more "Black pastors" attending the trial after the Rev. Al Sharpton, another civil rights leader, was seen sitting with Arbery's parents in the public gallery. After the jury was sent out, Gough stood in the Glynn County Superior Court and said he objected to what he called "an icon in the civil rights movement" sitting between Arbery's parents.
