Louisiana Athlete, 17, Facing Serious Charges After His White Classmate Sends Him A Naked Video
The new website’s refresh-
BOSSIER CITY, LA — Levar Allen, a 17-year-old student athlete at Parkway High School in south Bossier City, Louisiana, is now facing serious charges that could lead to time in prison after his 16- year old classmate sent him naked footage of herself.
Reportedly, she sent Levar a nude video first and then he responded by sending her one in return. But when her parents found out, they reported it to the police. Allen has since been arrested and is facing child porn charges, but the girl has not been arrested or charged. Her name has not even been released to the media.
When asked if this was a racial issue, Lt. Bill Davis, the
Public Information Officer for the Sheriff’s Office, told re- porters: “I have nothing to say about that. It doesn’t matter what your race, what your reli- gion, what your ethnicity, don’t do child pornography! Plain and simple.”
But civil rights activists say otherwise. They say it’s racism at its best. they argue that both teens are underage (she is 16 and he is 17), that she sent him a video first, that it was consen- sual, and that this case is.
Unfortunately, Louisiana state law isn’t quite working out in Allen’s defense. The state law says that anyone under the age of 17 found to be sexting any person of any age CAN be charged with a misde- meanor.
U. S. Military Academy At West Point Investigating Black Female Cadets In Photo With Raised Fists
WEST POINT CADETS
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York is investigating a photo showing 16 black female cadets in uni- form with their fists raised in a salute that critics are calling a gesture of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter move- ment, the Army Times reports.
According to the Army Times, not many details are
known about the photo, al- though it has since been shared wildly in military circles, along with the claim that the women are supporting BLM. Critics are reportedly concerned that the photo violates the Depart- ment of Defense Directive 1344.10, which cautions against "partisan political ac- tivity" when in uniform.
