Las Vegas man Accused of Multiple Violent Rapes

  A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts. Both alleged victims claimed that the Las Vegas man used a firearm to threaten them. Non-virtual sex work (i.e., physical prostitution) is a dangerous line of work, especially in large cities like Las Vegas -- where rates of non-virtual sex work have increased by 50% in recent years. Prostitutes -- especially street walkers -- are often victims of violent crime and robberies. It's fortunat...

What happened to Anique Beauregard? The Las Vegas woman vanished three years ago, and while her disappearance is considered a cold case today, the search efforts for her are very much active.

Las Vegas Teacher Told Girl He Wanted To Get Her Pregnant and Live on a Farm

A Las Vegas teacher is accused of being all kinds of weird toward a 16-year-old student at Spring Valley High School. Authorities say 37-year-old Aaron Morbioli has been arrested and charged in association with the inappropriate relationship. NBC 3 News reports that the inappropriate behavior mostly took place online — and that the Las Vegas teacher was “cyberstalking” the 16-year-old student. Reports aren’t sharing how the inappropriate relationship was discovered by police, but the details that are available are just weird, man. First of all, Morbioli allegedly told the girl to come to school naked one day. He also told her he wanted to get her pregnant and have “10 children” with her. The Las Vegas teacher is accused of sending the girl his fantasies via text, which involved living on a farm together — a weirdly specific detail in a case that gets weirder with each detail. One thing the Las Vegas teacher reportedly texted the teen did turn ...

Las Vegas Man Accused of Scalding Girlfriend's Toddler

A 21-year-old Las Vegas man is currently behind bars on accusations that he intentionally scalded his girlfriend’s toddler with hot bathwater. The incident, which took place last year, is making headlines this week, because the man believed responsible for the child’s injuries was only recently arrested for the incident. The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that 21-year-old Jonathan Caleb Lee was arrested on Thursday in association with last year’s incident, which was initially reported as an accident. When the child was injured last year, Lee claimed that he had “spanked” the two-year-old for soiling their self. After admitting to spanking the toddler, the Las Vegas man claimed that the child fell into the scalding hot water of the bath he was running in order to clean up after the bathroom accident. A witness of the incident said that the child was badly scalded and it looked like skin was coming off of them. This incident wasn’t reported until la...
