Arrest Made in Ohio Child Kidnappings: A 29-year-old man has been arrested for the May 21, 2016 kidnapping of a six-year-old Cleveland girl. ABC News 5 reports that familial DNA helped link Justin Christian to the abduction of the little girl from her bedroom as she slept. The FBI has also linked Christian to the attempted kidnapping of a 10-year-old girl last February. Several recent child abductions in the Cleveland area have kept the community on edge, as police conducted a ten-month investigation. Law enforcement officials have not yet reported on Christian's possible connection with other cases.
Illegal Arrested For Murder: An illegal alien has been arrested for the murder of a Wichita mother and the kidnapping of her baby last month. KNSS Radio reports that Yesenia Sesmas had been arrested last July and her immigration status was reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE), but the agency did not move to detain her before she posted bail and was released. According to the County Sheriff, had ICE put a detainer on the woman, she would not have been free to commit the murder or kidnap the baby. ICE responded that while they were notified of Sesman's arrest and immigration status, they did not have time to detain her before she was released. ABC News reports that the July arrest of Sesmas was for two counts of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery for allegedly taking two Wichita children.
LA "Ban the Box" is a Jackpot for Felons: A recent measure passed by the Los Angeles City Council is good news for felons, although employers may see it differently. Doug McIntyre of the Los Angeles Daily News reports that last week in a 12 to 1 vote, the LA City Council passed the "Ban the Box" or "Fair Chance" measure which will prohibit employers from questioning prospective employees about their criminal history during the initial hiring process. Not only does this hinder an employer's ability to screen potential applicants, but it opens businesses to a wide array of litigation for every time they unknowingly turn down a felon for employment
