Murder

17-year-old footballer killed referee with one punch to the head

A young teen boy with ripped clothes, shirtless, tanned body

A 17-year-old boy accused of fatally punching a soccer referee was charged Wednesday in juvenile court with committing a homicide. But Salt Lake County prosecutors are already seeking to move the teen’s case to adult court.

The teen — who is not being named by The Salt Lake Tribune because he is a juvenile — allegedly caused the death of Ricardo Portillo with a single punch to the head during an April 27 soccer match at Eisenhower Junior High in Taylorsville.

Portillo, 46, of Salt Lake City, died Saturday after nearly a week in a coma.

The teen is charged in 3rd District Juvenile Court with third-degree felony homicide by assault.

The crime is punishable by up to five years in prison in the adult system. But if the case remains in the juvenile system, the teen could be held in detention until he is 21 years old.

Utah law allows a minor over the age of 14 to be certified as an adult during a hearing before a juvenile court judge.

Mischief

Two boys, 12 and 13, tried to break into houses – chased by police chopper

Blonde shirtless boys, 12 year old and 13 years old

Early Monday morning, police said two people tried to break into several homes in the northern part of Omaha.

Police said, when one of their possible victims called, police got their chopper into air, but it wasn’t any ordinary chase, because neither one of the accused crooks is old enough to drive.

Two people were going door to door Monday, hoping no one would answer, according to police.

“I’ve always been a ‘scardy cat,’ and now it’ll be even worse,” said Katie.

Katie said she didn’t want to open her door when someone knocked on it around eight o’clock Monday morning.

“It’s scary when you have little kids around too,” said Katie.

According to police, the two people at her door were 12 and 13 year-old boys.

“It seemed suspicious that a kid was standing there,” said Katie. “Especially when it’s usually time for school.”

Katie said she didn’t come to the door when the doorbell first rang. She said, when she got to the door, one of the boys had her screen door open, and was messing with the door handle. She said the boy asked for someone named ‘Travis.’

“I said no one lived here by that name,” said Katie. “That’s when he just walked off with his friend.”

She said she saw them cut across her neighbor’s lawn, that’s when she called police.

The two were caught quickly. Police said one was arrested immediately, and they tracked down another with the police helicopter. The two were arrested for attempted burglary.

“Younger and younger kids doing stuff like this, it’s disheartening I guess,” said Katie, hoping the only children walking in her street will be on their way to school.

A 17-year-old suburban Dallas boy has been charged with human trafficking after a 15-year-old female schoolmate accused him of holding her captive and compelling her into prostitution.

An Irving police statement says the boy brought the girl to his home, where she remained under the influence of drugs and alcohol for three days. During that time, police said, the boy compelled the girl to become involved in prostitution.

Police also say the boy tried to recruit other young girls into prostitution. Investigators are seeking out those girls and interviewing them to determine if there are any other victims.

The boy remains in Irving city jail charged with human trafficking of a minor, compelling prostitution and sexual performance by a child. Bond is set at $175,000.

10-year-old boy sentenced to 5 years detention for plotting to rape and kill classmates

Muscular preteen boys, 10 and 11 years old, half naked

A 10-year-old Washington state boy was sentenced on Wednesday to up to 5 1/2 years in a juvenile detention facility for his role in a foiled plot to rape and kill a girl at his school and harm other children.

The boy was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, juvenile firearm possession and witness tampering in connection with a plot in February at an elementary school in Colville, Washington, about 345 kilometres east of Seattle.

Prosecutors said he pleaded guilty last month to all charges.

The fifth-grade boy told investigators he and his friend had planned to kill a former girlfriend because she was “rude” and “always made fun” of him and friends, according to court documents.

They plotted to entice the fifth-grade girl away from their elementary school, the court papers stated.

The 10-year-old had taken a functional Remington Model 1911 pistol that originally belonged to his grandfather from his older brother’s room, according to court records.

The boys had also packed ammunition and a knife, but they were stopped on Feb. 7 shortly after they boarded a school bus.

A fourth-grade student spotted the knife and reported it to a teacher’s aide. The names of six other targeted classmates were on a list the boys had, Stevens County prosecutor Tim Rasmussen said.

Stevens County Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson sentenced the boy to a minimum of just over three years in juvenile detention and a maximum of nearly 51/2 years, Rasmussen said.

The 10-year-old boy will serve his sentence at the Echo Glen children’s juvenile center in Snoqualmie, Wash., 70 kilometres east of Seattle. He has already spent 97 days in a local juvenile detention facility, Rasmussen said.

Boy, 14, played with his gun – accidentally shot himself in the hand

Young teenage boy shirtless

The Trempealeau County Sheriff’s Department says a 14-year-old was taken to the hospital after he accidentally shot himself in the hand.

Deputies say the teenager was trying to clear a malfuntion of a .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun when his hand moved in front of the muzzle of the weapon and the gun went off.

Deputies say the boy’s hand was “grazed” by the bullet. He was taken to a La Crosse hospital with minor injuries.

The teen had been target shooting at the time of the incident. There is no indication of foul play and the shooting appears to have been unintentional.

Sex

High school boy, 16, had sex with his gym teacher, 30 – she got jail

Teenage boy in underwear had sex with his gym teacher

A high school physical education teacher will spend 10 years on the Illinois sex offender registry after she was caught having sex with a student in the parking lot of a Kohl’s department store.

Ashley Blumenshine, 30, apologized between sobs as she pleaded guilty on Friday, according to Patch. The former Plainfield North teacher was sentenced to 30 days in jail but will only have to serve 11.

“I will forever be humbled and remorseful for my actions,” she said as she was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom Friday morning.

She met up with the unidentified 16-year-old victim at the Plainfield Kohl’s in January 2011, and had sex with him in the back of the car.

The two had texted to set up the rendezvous, and had been in a relationship for about a month.

Police reportedly noticed two cars parked alone together in the lot, and found the two “attempting to get dressed” in the back seat of one of the vehicles, a prosecutor told Patch.

Police also found a used condom in the car.
