▫️Woman sues suburban megachurch over alleged sexual abuse decades ago
A woman is claiming she was a victim of sexual abuse at the Willow Creek megachurch decades ago, and she has since filed a lawsuit arguing church leadership knew about the allegation and did not do anything to stop it.
In 2017 and 2018, Willow Creek agreed to pay more than $3 million to resolve other lawsuits alleging another man, church volunteer Robert Sobczak Jr., molested special needs children at the church, according to court records, interviews and published accounts.
Church leaders were accused of ignoring red flags that could have prevented at least some of the sexual abuse. Also in 2018, Hybels left his position amid accusations of sexual misconduct against women at the church, though he denied wrongdoing. He couldn’t be reached for comment. Nor could Condon.

▫️At least a dozen graves of Milwaukee Indian boarding school students uncovered
An ICT investigation has revealed the graves of 14 students who died while attending Good Shepherd Industrial School, a federally funded Indian Boarding School, from 1884 to 1891.
Just three miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, a Catholic-run reformatory school called Good Shepherd Industrial School had served as a federally funded Indian Boarding School.
Now, an ICT investigation has revealed the graves of 14 students who died while attending Good Shepherd from 1884 to 1891. Those students – all girls – are buried in Calvary Cemetery. The ICT research further reveals that at least 11 of the 14 deceased students came from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and, through cemetery records, Milwaukee County death certificates and boarding school correspondence, ICT has been able to identify the names of the 14 students.

▫️Afghan national residing in Arlington sentenced to 35 years in federal prison in child exploitation case
FORT WORTH, Texas — United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould announced that Badshah Sahi, a 21-year-old Afghan national, was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for producing and possessing child pornography on Sept. 29.
Sahi pleaded guilty to production and possession of child pornography charges on April 1. U.S. Senior District Judge Terry R. Means imposed the 420-month sentence to run consecutive to his outstanding state proceedings.
“This dangerous child sex offender was recklessly released into the United States without proper vetting during the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and went on to prey on innocent children both here in North Texas and online,” said HSI Dallas acting Special Agent in Charge Antwoine Jones.
Sahi would pick up the minor female from outside her home in Forney and transport her to various locations to sexually assault her.
