2 Boston College students injured in deck collapse during off-campus party
Two Boston College students were injured at a house party in Brighton last weekend after a piece of deck railing broke off, causing the pair to fall from the second floor, police said.
On Saturday evening, Boston police responded to a “serious injury” incident at 64 Undine Road, according to the department. Upon arrival, officers found a man and a woman receiving medical attention from first responders.
Prior to the incident, a small party was held in the backyard of the home where attendees were reportedly consuming alcoholic beverages and smoking. All individuals involved were Boston College students, the incident report confirmed.
The deck, located on the second floor of the home, has ten steps connecting the backyard to the kitchen. Throughout the event, students frequently used the deck to retrieve food and beer from the kitchen.
At the time of the incident, the two victims were conversing and holding drinks on the deck when they leaned against the railing. Suddenly, a large section of the railing, estimated to be six to eight feet long, snapped off without warning. This caused the students to lose their balance and fall onto the concrete below.
Both students landed on the back of their heads and spines with significant force. The man suffered a head injury and was bleeding slightly. He later experienced considerable pain in his back and neck. The incident report did not provide an update on the woman’s condition.
Officers inspected the railing and parts of the deck, noticing rotting wood and short, corroded nails. The wood appeared to have been painted over, which may have concealed the extent of the damage.
The two victims were transported to local hospitals for further evaluation and treatment. A city inspector also arrived at the scene to assess the safety of the building.
The incident remains under ongoing investigation.

Fall River man sentenced for raping woman when she refused to take naked pictures of young daughter
A Fall River man pleaded guilty to rape and child pornography charges on Monday after sexually assaulting a woman who refused to take nude photos of her young daughter, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Elias Rodrigues Dos Santos Mendes, 55, was sentenced in Fall River Superior Court to eight to ten years in state prison. Because he is undocumented, Dos Santos Mendes will be deported back to Brazil after serving his sentence, the office of Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn said in a press release.
Dos Santos Mendes faced multiple charges, including two counts of rape, one count of assault to rape, indecent assault and battery on a person over 14, and possession of child pornography, according to the DA.
Prosecutors revealed that in March 2024, Dos Santos Mendes met an adult woman who was acquainted with him prior to their meeting, as well as her four children. The family had recently arrived in the United States with plans to reside in Fall River. Dos Santos Mendes offered to assist the woman and her children in finding housing.
While the victim and Dos Santos Mendes were speaking inside his car, he asked her to take naked photos of her 12-year-old daughter so he could allegedly sell them online. He also showed the victim numerous videos and photos of naked children on his phone.
When the victim refused to comply, Dos Santos Mendes became angry and then sexually assaulted and raped her inside his vehicle, the DA’s office stated.
The victim reported the incident to the police and sought medical treatment, which included collecting a DNA sample. That sample was later matched to Dos Santos Mendes.
During the investigation, police confiscated multiple phones belonging to Dos Santos Mendes, including a brand-new device. He claimed to have broken one of his phones the week prior.
A search of the devices uncovered a video containing child pornography, prosecutors said.
District Attorney Thomas Quinn condemned the actions, stating, “This behavior clearly demonstrates a disturbed and deranged mind.”
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Canan Yesilcimen and Kalene Kobza.

Cher’s son charged with simple assault and trespassing at New Hampshire private school
**Cher’s Son Arrested for Disturbance at New Hampshire Private High School**
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Cher’s son, Elijah Allman, 49, was arrested on Friday after acting belligerently at a New Hampshire private high school with which he has no association.
Allman was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass, and criminal threatening. Additionally, he faced a charge for violation of disorderly conduct, which, while illegal in the state, is not considered a crime.
At approximately 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After the incident, police charged Allman, who is the son of the late Gregg Allman, and released him on bail as his case proceeds through the court system.
Attorney information for Allman was not available in court records. A representative for Cher was not immediately available for comment. St. Paul’s School declined to comment on the matter.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Mick Jagger featured in Epstein photo dump
“King of Pop” Michael Jackson was among the rich and famous figures whose relationship with Jeffrey Epstein came to light on Friday, when the Justice Department finally began releasing records related to its investigation into the late sex offender.
One photo featuring Jackson shows the “Beat It” singer standing alongside Epstein in front of a painting of a woman lying topless on a beach. Another image shows Jackson with singer Diana Ross and former President Bill Clinton on what appears to be a private plane.
Jeffrey Epstein, 66, died behind bars at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging.
Michael Jackson died from an overdose-induced cardiac arrest in 2009 at the age of 50. The pop music superstar was investigated for possible child molestation between 1993 and 1994, and again between 2004 and 2005, according to the FBI. However, he was never charged with any crimes.
Little has been reported about Epstein’s relationship with Jackson until now. The disgraced financier was known to associate with many highly influential figures, including President Donald Trump, filmmaker Woody Allen, and billionaire businessman Leon Black. None of these individuals have been accused of involvement in Epstein’s wrongdoing.
Also included in the Justice Department’s file release is a photo of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. The 82-year-old rock star is pictured dining with Clinton, Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell. Jagger’s name appeared among the celebrities listed in a contact book previously released by the DOJ, but like others, he has not been accused of any nefarious involvement with Epstein.
Prior to taking office in January, President Trump had said he would promptly order the release of the federal files pertaining to the Epstein investigation. However, the process has faced numerous delays.
In November, Congress compelled the Department of Justice to make the trove of documents available by Friday. While the DOJ promised that a batch of files was coming, they indicated it would take several more weeks to release the full array of documents.
Democrats have threatened to take legal action, calling the delay a “violation of federal law.”

Trump Addresses Nation After National Guardsman Ambushed by Afghan National in DC [WATCH]
President Donald Trump addressed the country on Wednesday following a shooting in Washington, D. C., that left three people wounded, including two members of the West Virginia National Guard. The incident occurred in the vicinity of the White House and prompted immediate responses from federal and local authorities. The president said the attack was reportedly carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 under President Joe Biden. Trump described the shooting as “a crime against our nation.” “This heinous assault was an act of evil and act of hatred and an act of terror,” Trump said. “It was a crime against our entire nation. It was a crime against humanity. Americans tonight are with those two West Virginian National Guard and their families.” Trump said the individual responsible would face consequences. This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year He also said the Department of Homeland Security believes the suspect was brought into the country during the 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan. “He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021,” Trump said. “Nobody knew who was coming in. Nobody knew anything about it. His status was extended by legislation that was signed by President Biden. A disastrous president the worst in the history of our country.” Trump called for vetting of individuals brought from Afghanistan during that time. Federal agencies have not yet released additional information about the suspect’s immigration status beyond acknowledging an active investigation. Breitbart News reported that three people were shot on Wednesday afternoon, leading to a temporary lockdown at the White House. WJLA reported that the alleged shooter was taken into custody. The Associated Press reported that the conditions of the injured Guardsmen were not yet known. The Joint DC Task Force confirmed that the shooting occurred “in the vicinity of the White House.” The New York Times reported that the incident took place near the entrance to the Farragut West Metro Station. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called the act “cowardly” and said it will “only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington D. C. safe and beautiful.”.
