Christa Gail Pike was convicted in 1996 for the brutal 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, a fellow Job Corps student. Prosecutors said Pike beat the victim with a piece of asphalt and kept a skull fragment as a trophy. She was only 18 at the time. The Tennessee Supreme Court has now scheduled her execution for September 30, 2026. Her legal team is pushing for clemency, citing her youth, past abuse, and mental health issues.

What happened?
Four women accused Andrew Tate of rape, sexual assault, abuse, and threats during incidents between 2013 and 2015. Some had already reported their cases to Hertfordshire police years ago. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reviewed the cases but decided there was not enough evidence to proceed with criminal charges. As a result, no charges will be filed against Tate in the UK. Tate has denied all accusations. However, the women are still pursuing a civil lawsuit against him in the High Court, which will continue separately from the criminal process.

In March 2025, she was convicted of bank fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy.

She was taken into custody on September 23 by Mexico’s National Anti-Kidnapping Unit. Investigators believe she may have played a role in targeting victims linked to the music industry.

Tools allow account linking and alerts for distress
What happened?
OpenAI announced new parental control features for ChatGPT after the family of a 16-year-old who died by suicide alleged the chatbot contributed to his death. The lawsuit claimed ChatGPT gave harmful advice to the teen before his death. The new tools will let parents link accounts, restrict certain features, and receive alerts if the system detects signs of distress in a teen’s usage. Critics argue the controls are limited and that determined teens could still bypass restrictions. Child safety groups are pushing OpenAI to adopt deeper protections beyond parental tools.
