Keith Strawn was sentenced to four months in prison after telling the judge: "If you get them pregnant then you marry them,” Fox 31 reported.

“While you spend those 120 day in jail, perhaps you will think about the 120 days your daughter was in a vile farce of a marriage to a rapist,” District Judge Greg Moeller said during Tuesday's sentencing, according to the station.

Retired NYPD cop accused of running prostitution ring busted for alleged stolen gun

A retired NYPD cop indicted on federal charges for running a prostitution ring was held on $100,000 bond Wednesday by a criminal court judge for a stolen gun found at his home.

Michael Rizzi, 44, was busted on Tuesday by federal prosecutors for conducting an online escort service where the girls billed clients up to $2,000 per hour.

During a search at his Bensonhurst home by Homeland Security, agents found an unloaded .32-caliber Rohm revolver in a desk drawer and a slew of gun cartridges for a Glock .38-mm and a .9-mm in the bedroom and buffet table in the dining room, according to the criminal complaint.

"The firearm came up stolen. The owner was not found and the defendant doesn't have a permit," said Assistant District Attorney Wilfredo Cotto in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Wednesday.

After Rizzi's family put up their home to post $500,000 bond and get him out of federal custody, he was collared by his former employer, the NYPD.

Woman begs High Court to allow her to use dead daughter's eggs to give birth to her own grandchild

A woman who wants to use her daughter’s frozen eggs to give birth to her own grandchild has appealed to leading judges to allow her to carry out the dying wishes of her “much-loved and only child”.

The 60-year-old, whose daughter died of cancer in 2011, lost an action at the High Court last year, but is now asking three Court of Appeal judges to rule in her favour.

Her QC, Jenni Richards, told the judges on Wednesday that the woman wants to fulfil her daughter’s wishes that her mother should carry a child created from her frozen eggs “and raise that child”.

Ms Richards said that if the court did not overturn the High Court’s ruling, the “inevitable” consequence would be that the eggs “will simply be allowed to perish”.

The woman and her 59-year-old husband are challenging the decision of Mr Justice Ouseley last June to dismiss their case.

How Chelsea are delaying Jose Mourinho being announced as Man United manager

Hold up: Mourinho will not be announced until Thursday at the earliest

Chelsea's ownership of the copyright of Jose Mourinho's signature, is one aspect holding up a deal for him to become new Manchester United boss.

The Red Devils will now not announce the Special One as their new manager until Thursday at the earliest.

Personal terms have been agreed between Mourinho and United, with lawyers now scrutinising the finer details of the three-year agreement.

It is understood the issue of intellectual property rights, in particular the Blues' ownership of the copyright of Mourinho's signature, is causing the hitch.

United, however, remain relaxed about that hurdle in their negotiations with Mendes and expect to announce Mourinho, 53, as Louis van Gaal's successor on Thursday.

Mourinho's first game in charge of United will be a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on July 22, before renewing his fierce rivalry withPep Guardiola against Manchester City in Beijing on July 25.

TYSON BECKFORD, DJ RUCKUS BLOODY FIGHT OVER SHANINA SHAIK

Tyson Beckford got into an all-out brawl with DJ Ruckus over the "Bro Code" ... 360 has learned.

It happened Thursday at Up & Down nightclub in NYC. Tyson and Ruckus have had ongoing beef over Shanina Shaik. Tyson, who was friends with Ruckus, was dating Shanina, broke up and then Ruckus hooked up with her. So, you can see why things have been tense between the guys.

We're told Ruckus saw Tyson in the club, flipped him off, and then Beckford went over to Ruckus and said if he had beef with him they should "take it out in the street." That's exactly what happened.

We're told the fight was violent.  At one point Tyson was on top of Ruckus, pounding away, when one of Ruckus' friends began punching Beckford in the head.  

It didn't end there. Ruckus punched Tyson in the groin, and Tyson returned the favor with his knee. A doorman called the cops, and by the time cops got there the 3 men were gone. No arrests were made.

We got video outside the club, where you can see the fight starting to brew -- but because there were a ton of cops patrolling that area, we're told Ruckus and Beckford moved the action a few blocks away.

Sheriff’s camp has also vowed to deny factional National chairmen Ahmed Makarfi and Sen. Ibrahim Mantu access to the secretariat.

Sheriff and his loyalists were contemplating a court action last night, although a decision was yet to be reached as at the time of filing this report.To show his determination for a fight to the finish, Sheriff shunned calls from Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The governor was said to have called Sheriff many times but the deposed chairman spurned the entreaties which he termed as “medicine after death”.

ISIS Fears ISIS ‘want to carry out door-to-door massacre in UK countryside sparks new rural anti-terror plan'

The new base will be in south west England to boost anti-terror forces in rural areas

Fears ISIS wants to carry out a 'door-to-door massacre' in the British countryside has led to plans for a new rural anti-terror base, it has been claimed.

Authorities are concerned jihadis could commit a mass shooting in a rural area with gunmen slaughtering villages instead of previous, more urban targets, security experts say.

It is also feared that the scenes of terror seen in Tunisia last year could be replicated in British holiday camps.

In response police are planning an intelligence-gathering base in south west England equipped with a unit of specialist firearms officers on standby to deal with any terror threat, it has been reported.

It will cover Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and some of Gloucestershire as part of a five-year £143 million plan to boost Britain’s armed policing capability, according to the Sunday Express.

Auction of world's most expensive wine thrown into chaos after claims they're fake

An American wine fraud expert has called into question the authenticity of a treasure trove of the world’s most expensive wineafter it went under the auctioneer’s hammer in Geneva.

Six lots of vintage bottles from the mythical Romanée Conti Domain in Burgundy were withdrawn from the multi-million pound auction at the last minute. The rest of the sale of 1,407 bottles – worth up to £11,000 each – proceeded as planned.

The auction house, Bagheera Wines, told The Independent that it would “urgently” verify the authenticity of all bottles in the sale. If any proved to be suspect, their sales would be cancelled.

“We take the protection of our customers’ interest very seriously,” said Michael Ganne, director of Bagheera. “I am sure that the overwhelming bulk of the lots will prove to be genuine. If there is any doubt at all, the sale will be nullified.”

Mr Ganne told The Independent that he had ordered “five or six lots” to be withdrawn from the sale because of the allegations made on the site Wineberserkers.Com.
