Las Vegas Police said they got a tip saying a man was allowing men to sexually assault and rape his daughters in exchange for money and drugs.

Their investigation led to the arrest of 43-year-old John David Lee Jr. after speaking to his two daughters, who allegedly reported that the horrific sexual assault occurred from 2012 until 2019.

Lee allegedly traded the assault for money to pay his debts as well as for heroin.

One of the girls was assaulted from the time she was 4 years old and the other from the time she was 7 years old, according to court documents.

The girls said the assaults would occur in the parking lot of a Walmart as well as their home. They said they were promised a toy from Walmart if they complied with assault.

One of the girls said Lee smacked her when she refused to comply. In another incident, Lee allegedly sent three men into one of the girl’s rooms to rape her after she disobeyed him.

Lee allegedly traded the assault for money to pay his debts as well as for heroin.

He was booked on two counts of sex trafficking.

The New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department said it had no record of any investigation into the man or his children.

Prosecutors argued that Lee was a threat to the public and should be locked up until his trial.

Judge Christian Montaño ordered him to be held on a $250,000 cash-only bond, and he remains in custody at the San Miguel County Detention center.

“I’m really wondering, what does it take to keep our children safe, and how as New Mexicans do we break this cycle,” said New Mexico Child First Network founder and executive director Maralyn Beck.

“It’s just so omnipresent how hurt our kids are right now, from child fatalities to, we’ve had just crisis after crisis after headline after crisis,” she added.

“We are the most dangerous place in the entire United States for children. We can do better,” she continued.

When Robert Dorgan’s ex-wife and son were watching a hockey game between Coventry and Blackstone Valley schools in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the trans-identifying ex-husband and father allegedly opened fire on them — killing them both before fatally shooting himself.

While disturbed by his suspected actions and devastated for the family, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is not surprised by the alleged attacker’s identity.

“Once again, in a case of strange deja vu, we have a story about another deranged trans person who [allegedly] carried out another shooting. Two people were killed, three others injured, during a youth hockey game in Rhode Island,” Gonzales reports on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

The alleged shooter was going by the name Roberta Esposito.

“Apparently you can change nationalities too. You can just flip from white to Latino, I guess. So, he looks about how you would expect. Very beautiful, gorgeous, feminine dude. … Now, you’re going to be shocked to hear this: history of family disputes,” Gonzales says.

“Now that family have two family members who will never come back because we’ve decided as a society to pretend like we shouldn’t treat clear mental illness and delusion — like, we should just enable it,” she continues, pointing out that other mental health conditions don’t receive the same treatment.

“If you have an alcoholic, people are like, ‘You should stop drinking.’ If you have a schizophrenic, they’re like, ‘We need to get you help because what you’re doing is not normal.’ You have a dude who wants to cut his d**k off, and you’re like, ‘Very brave,’” she says.

“When are we going to decide that enough is enough?” she asks.

Rescuers found the bodies of eight skiers after an avalanche in northern California, and one skier still missing is likely dead as well.

The group of 15 skiers were returning from the Frog Lake backcountry huts near Lake Tahoe after a three-day trip when they were hit by the avalanche.

‘Our mission now is to get them home.’

Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon said the sheriff’s office received a report of the avalanche on Tuesday at about 11:30 a.m.

Moon said crews couldn’t reach the site until 5:30 p.m. because of the weather conditions that included high winds and freezing temperatures.

The survivors, which included five clients and and an employee of the Black Mountain Guides, made a makeshift shelter for themselves.

Rescue workers got the survivors to safety before searching for those missing and finding their bodies. The last missing skier is now presumed dead.

The survivors included two women and four men between the ages of 33 and 55 years old. Of the nine that had been missing, seven were women and two were men.

“Our mission now is to get them home,” Moon said.

The guide company released a statement about the incident.

“The leadership team at Blackbird Mountain Guides is working in full coordination with the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office and Nevada County Search and Rescue to support the ongoing rescue operation,” the company’s statement reads.

“Blackbird Mountain Guides is in direct contact with the emergency contacts of the affected clients and guides and is providing them with regular updates as verified information becomes available,” they added.

The incident is the deadliest avalanche in California history and the deadliest in the nation’s history since 1981 when 11 climbers were killed on Mount Rainier in Washington state.
