Girl’s mom accused in ‘deepfakes’ case

-

A driver lost control and veered onto a sidewalk Monday dotted with homeless tents in downtownSa­n Diego, killing three people and injuring six others, police said.

The driver — whom authoritie­s identified only as a 71-year-old man — was heading through a tunnel underneath a community college campus when he drove his Volvo station wagon up on the sidewalk shortly after 9 a.m., said San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit.

The driver, who got out of his car and tried to help people before identifyin­g himself to police, was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired.

“He was cooperativ­e, (and) did not try to run away,” the chief said.

Three people died at the scene. Five of the six others who were injured were taken to hospitals, including two who were in critical condition, authoritie­s said. beginning as early as this week, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press that was sent Monday to members of the Dallas City Council. Federal agencies will use the facility to house boys ages 15 to 17, according to the memo, which describes the soonto-open site as a “decompress­ion center.”

A Pennsylvan­ia woman is accused of doctoring photos and video of her daughter’s cheerleadi­ng rivals to try to get them kicked off the squad, officials said.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office last week charged Raffaela Spone, 50, with three misdemeano­r counts of cyber harassment of a child and related offenses.

Spone manipulate­d photos from social media of three girls on the Victory Vipers cheerleadi­ng squad in Chalfont to make it appear they were drinking, smoking and even nude, investigat­ors said.

Spone also sent messages with the so-called “deepfake” pictures to the girls and suggested they kill themselves, officials said.
