Packers RB Jacobs faces two misdemeanor charges in May incident

Prosecutors in Brown County filed two misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property against Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs for a May 23 incident in the Green Bay area; Jacobs had been arrested in May on additional domestic-abuse charges, but the district attorney later filed only the new misdemeanor counts after a lengthy investigation. The incident report alleges Jacobs grabbed his girlfriend’s arm, threw her to the ground, and damaged her phone during a dispute over her phone, with video surveillance reportedly corroborating parts of the confrontation. Jacobs’ lawyers and the DA stressed the case is ongoing and based on evidence, while the NFL and Packers say they are monitoring and cooperating.

Beyond the TikTok Clip: Netflix Delves Into a Pastor’s Wife, Abusive Marriage, and a Contested Death

Netflix’s three‑part docuseries Death of the Pastor’s Wife revisits the death of 30-year-old Mica Miller and her volatile marriage to pastor John-Paul Miller, using first‑person interviews, unseen footage, and journal excerpts to explore alleged coercive control, harassment, and manipulation. The film situates the abuse within church dynamics, highlights how Mica’s family and friends perceived the danger, and discusses the push for legal protections like “Mica’s Law” in South Carolina. While Mica’s death was ruled a suicide and JP Miller has not been charged in her death, federal cyberstalking charges against him and ongoing family advocacy frame the story as part of a broader conversation about domestic abuse, religious pressure, and accountability.

Scotland abuse case: three family members avoid prison after 'house of terror' ordeal

Three adults – a mother, grandmother and stepfather – were found guilty or pleaded guilty of cruel and unnatural treatment of three children in Balloch and Aberdeen between 2003 and 2012, described in court as a 'house of terror'. They received non-custodial sentences: probation and unpaid work with restrictions on liberty rather than prison. The victims, now adults, spoke of lifelong trauma and said the sentence feels inadequate, while the judge said nothing could repair their childhoods and prosecutors urged continued support for abuse survivors.

A redacted Greenville, South Carolina police report shows Hayden Panettiere’s ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother were present at the townhouse where EMTs attempted, but failed, to revive her; Hickerson told officers Panettiere was his brother’s girlfriend and showed them a bag of medication as Panettiere was unresponsive. The coroner has not yet determined the cause or manner of death, and there were no obvious signs of trauma. Panettiere had previously tried to distance herself from Hickerson amid a history of domestic abuse.

Moreno labels Miller a danger amid domestic-abuse allegations and custody dispute

Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno called Rep. Max Miller a “danger” to his family amid his ex-wife Emily Moreno’s allegations of domestic abuse, including hot-water abuse and a gun threat, and claims Miller harmed their 2-year-old daughter. Miller denies the accusations and continues his reelection bid as Moreno publicly urged him to step down for the safety of his daughter, a stance that follows a custody dispute and a new restraining order against Miller. The case has drawn attention to how victims’ responses can vary and is informed by court filings and Miller’s defense video.

Evil Dead Burn: Brutal Carnage Meets a Toxic Family Saga

Evil Dead Burn blends brutal, inventive carnage with a sharp domestic-abuse allegory, anchored by Souheila Yacoub’s determined final girl, but its heavy-handed metaphor and a disappointing CGI finale undermine the momentum of what is otherwise an ambitiously eerie horror entry.

Ruth Ellis: Posthumous conditional pardon acknowledges abuse in UK's last execution

Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in the UK, has been granted a posthumous conditional pardon by the King.
