> Nude woman escapes being raped

SANDAKAN: A woman was stripped naked behind some bushes by a man posing as an enforcement officer but escaped being raped when the man fled after hearing sounds of people nearby.

The man had abducted the 28-year-old woman and her sister from their car outside a supermarket on Sunday night.

The sisters had parked outside the supermarket when the man, identifying himself as an enforcement officer, suddenly got into the car and directed the woman to drive to a secluded area in Jalan Cecily here.

He then fondled and molested her and assaulted her when she tried to put up a struggle .

He dragged her out of the car towards some bushes and stripped her while the terrified sister was warned not to make any sound.

Just then, the man heard people walking near the car and he fled.

The woman has lodged a police report on the incident.

Sandakan police chief Asst Comm Rosli Mohd Isa confirmed the case.

> Northern California teacher sends sex DVD home with students

A Northern California elementary school teacher who set out to capture class memories on DVD, ended up adding six seconds of her having sex on the couch.

Officials at the Elk Grove Unified School District asked families of the teacher’s 24 students to get rid of the DVD after the unintended clip was found spliced in a scene where children were sharing stories in class.

“Just destroy them,” said spokeswoman Torrey Johnson.

Johnson said the teacher, whose name isn’t being released, sent the DVD home with her students from Isabelle Jackson Elementary on the last day of class Friday. She learned of the mistake after a parent called her over the weekend. She then called all the parents to ask them to destroy the DVD.

The school district, located just south of Sacramento, sent a letter home to parents asking them to return the DVDs. Since then, they have asked parents to simply destroy them.

Johnson said the district is investigating whether any criminal activity was involved.

Sgt. Tim Curran, a spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, said the DVD incident “may not be prosecutable” because authorities would have to show the teacher intended to distribute the material.

> Faith healer abused teen

KINGSTON (Jamaica) – A NEW York-based Pentecostal faith healer was released on bail in his native Jamaica on Monday 29 Jun 2009, nearly two weeks after being charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl.

Paul Lewis, who was charged with carnal abuse and indecent assault for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl, was released on US$5,600 (S$8,114) bail and ordered to surrender his travel documents until a July 7 court date, his lawyer Michael Erskine told reporters.

Mr Erskine declined further comment, but he previously said his client denied the charges.

Lewis was born in Jamaica but moved to the United States as a child. His Web site identifies him as pastor for The Messengers for Christ World Healing Centre in Brooklyn. The church has not responded to requests for comment.

The Web site says he has preached in the Bahamas, Canada, Jamaica, Europe and Africa. In infomercials and on his Web site, Lewis has pitched a ‘miracle olive oil soap’ that he claims can cure diseases like AIDS and cancer and bring prosperity. — AP
