Mother Accused Of Trading Daughter For Debt

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) -- Montgomery County prosecutors say a mother and a Gaithersburg man are facing charges for trading sex with the woman's daughter to pay off a debt.

Prosecutors say the mother is facing 11 charges and 44-year-old Bejarni Rivas is facing 13 charges. Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office, says the charges range from second-degree rape to human trafficking.

Attorney Walter Neighbors, who is listed in online court records as representing Rivas, said Sunday that he did not have any comment on the case.

Court documents show the mother owed $5,000. The documents say the alleged arrangement ended when the 15-year-old daughter told a relative and the two went to police.

Publisher, photographer probed over topless Kate photos

Publisher, photographer probed over topless Kate photos

PARIS (AP) - French prosecutors have placed the publisher and photographer of unauthorized topless snaps of Prince William's wife, Kate, under formal criminal investigation, they said Thursday.

Caroline Chassain, spokeswoman for the Nanterre prosecutor, said that Mondadori Magazines France and local photographer Valerie Suau were placed under investigation earlier this month over possible criminal exploitation of the images, which appeared in the French Closer magazine last September.

The photos showed the duchess of Cambridge relaxing at a private villa in Provence, in southern France, sometimes without her bikini top and, in one case, her suit bottom partially pulled down to apply sunscreen.

Chassain added that Suau's employer, local newspaper La Provence, was also placed under formal criminal investigation on Monday, but she did not elaborate.

The investigation will likely take months to complete.
