Crime & Arrests

Virginia Giuffre’s family found a raw, handwritten note she penned before taking her own life -- and now they’re sharing it with the world.

In a Facebook post, Virginia’s sister-in-law Amanda Roberts said the family wanted to release a quote from a journal Virginia had written, which was found at her Aussie farmhouse ... where she died by suicide Friday. The quote is a powerful message of solidarity with fellow survivors of sexual abuse.

The message reads, "Mothers, Fathers, Sisters + Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and we stand together to fight for the future of victims  - Is protesting the answer - I don't know but we've got to start somewhere."

UFC fighter Sedriques Dumas has been arrested again, TMZ Sports has confirmed ... and now, he's facing a handful of criminal charges -- including robbery and battery.

The middleweight mixed-martial artist was locked up by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office in Pensacola, Fla., on Monday ... and court records show he's since been hit with five total charges over the police run-in.

Several are felonies, including home invasion robbery, possession of a weapon or ammo by a convicted felon, and possession of a controlled substance with a prescription. The other two -- battery and drug equipment possession -- are misdemeanors.

The high-profile trial of 10 suspects in the multimillion-dollar jewelry heist of Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2016 is underway this week ... and three of the defendants in the country's biggest robbery in decades testified today.

Two of the "Grandpa Robbers" -- they're in their 60s and 70s -- took the stand Tuesday, including one who wrote a book about the incident ... titled "I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian."

Yunice Abbas, the 71-year-old author, was up first ... fleeing the robbery scene on a bicycle, he fell and dropped a bag of jewelry, spilling gems. He said he picked up what he could, but left a $24,000 diamond necklace on the street. That necklace was found by a pedestrian later that morning, who reportedly wore it at work that day -- before finding out about the robbery and turning it over to police, BBC News reports.

Kim Kardashian's robbery trial is in full swing in Paris ... with the morning focused on testimony from 71-year-old suspect Yunice Abbas -- who admitted he has some regrets about the October 2016 heist despite saying he felt no guilt in the past.

During his testimony, Abbas -- who has a criminal past filled with burglaries and minor drug trafficking -- said the media coverage over the heist made him question his actions, explaining ... "This time I do regret what I did … It opened my eyes," BBC reports.

He also confirmed he's aware his actions "negatively impacted" his family ... but blamed his poor choices on "never [having] a male role model" as a child. His wife also said his affinity for crime is rooted in his impoverished upbringing.

Potential jurors in Diddy's federal trial are gonna get grilled on several subjects before they get picked ... and a questionnaire's hot topics include their taste in music, and their views on drugs, celebs and group sex.

With jury selection just a week away for Diddy's trial, his attorneys are submitting the 30 questions they want to put to the jury pool. Not shockingly, considering the charges, sex is raised several times.

For instance, "There may be evidence in this case about people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners. Would hearing about that type of evidence be difficult for you?"

Part of Diddy's defense involves his mental capacity to commit the crimes while he was, essentially, wasted -- he even has a doctor lined up to testify -- but the feds think it's a totally irrelevant point.

Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and in the docs they say Diddy wants to have the doctor -- who's a Columbia professor -- testify he had a "mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt."

So, what does that mean exactly?

Well, the detail of his alleged condition is redacted throughout the documents ... but, there are some clues, including a bit about Diddy's alleged drinking and drugging.

Police body cam footage from Druski's October 2024 wacky arrest has surfaced on the internet ... and no, it's not a skit, although it may give you a few chuckles.

He got hauled off to jail, but had trouble fitting in the back of the cop car!!! 😩

The video unfolds with an Atlanta Police officer spelling out the situation for Druski after being spotted allegedly running a stop sign.

Kim Kardashian is finally seeing the wheels of justice turn in her robbery case ... Ten people are going on trial today, accused of sticking her up at gunpoint nine years ago in France.

Kim is expected to travel to Paris and testify May 13th. She's explained in horrifying detail how the robbers broke into her hotel suite, pushed her on the bed, tied her up with plastic cables, taped her hands, and then blindfolded her at gunpoint. She was put in the bathtub as the robbers made off with $10 million in jewels.

It was so traumatic, Kim told cops she thought she was going to be raped.

Floyd Diaz, an undefeated boxer, was arrested in Sin City last week ... after Las Vegas Metro cops pulled the pugilist over while driving a stolen vehicle, TMZ Sports has learned.

During the stop, LVMPD also found the 21-year-old boxer was carrying a firearm he was not legally allowed to possess.

Diaz was initially stopped after a patrol unit received a LoJack alert indicating the vehicle was stolen.

Lindsay Lohan went from Disney darling to Hollywood wild child real quick -- "Parent Trap," "Mean Girls," then boom: DUIs, mugshots, and a 90-day jail stint!

She wrecked a car, landed in rehab, and still managed a hilarious "TMZ on TV" cameo roasting herself. Total chaos.

But plot twist -- Lohan bounced to Dubai, ditched the drama, found love with Bader Shammas, and staged a comeback with Netflix hits. Oh, and she’s now a mom to a baby boy.

One of the key suspects in the Kim Kardashian Paris robbery reportedly died suddenly just as the case against him was about to go to trial.

According to the Daily Mail, Marceau Baum-Gertner died on March 6 in Paris. His cause of death is not yet known.

Marceau was accused of working alongside the gang that held the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star at gunpoint in 2016.

Rosie O'Donnell's not just pals with Lyle Menendez ... it seems she's a close confidante of him -- 'cause she says the pair talk every few days.

The former talk show host revealed how close she is with the convicted killer to Page Six in an interview published Saturday ... admitting she and Lyle chat on the phone between two and three times each week.

This comes after Rosie said the two are friends ... explaining they got in touch in 2022 because of a Netflix documentary about Lyle and Erik's crime.

Jillian Lauren Shriner's got a gun in her hand, pacing around her backyard before being shot by police in a hail of bullets ... and it's all on video.

LAPD just released footage -- including police body cam video -- from this month's intense interaction with the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner... a showdown that featured guns drawn, shots fired and Jillian arrested for the attempted murder of a cop.

Surveillance video from the Shriners' house in L.A. shows Jillian going into her backyard with a handgun in one hand ... as law enforcement scours the area for an unrelated hit-and-run suspect that fled into her neighborhood.

Luigi Mangione has just pled not guilty to four federal charges -- including a count of murder through the use of a firearm.

The alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer appeared in a New York City federal court Friday for his arraignment, where he pled not guilty to one count of murder through the use of a firearm, two counts of stalking, and one firearms offense for allegedly using a silencer.

The judge ordered all discovery to be turned over to the defense within 30 days ... making the deadline for that May 27.

Diddy may have forced one of the alleged victims in his federal case to undergo a medical procedure ... at least that's what prosecutors are claiming.

The rap mogul sat in a New York City courtroom Friday when the question of how to handle certain evidence the prosecution plans to present regarding an unknown medical procedure came up.

A federal prosecutor told the judge these alleged procedures go "directly to the degree of control [Diddy] had over her, consent to specific sexual acts ... It's relevant to these questions on coercion."

Luigi Mangione might be facing serious charges, but outside court, you'd think he was a rockstar -- with a wild crowd of supporters turning up ahead of his arraignment hearing Friday.

The scene outside NYC federal court was flooded with "Free Luigi" advocates who treated the accused like a hero -- but not everyone was on board, with one fiery protester stepping up to blast the crowd for glorifying a man accused of murder.

Supporters were out with signs and some in Luigi video game character dress-up -- making it crystal clear they believe Luigi’s alleged actions were justified, pointing to the countless lives they claim have been lost due to corrupt health insurance practices.
