Coogee mother and teacher fights for life after horrific great white attack

A 35-year-old Leah Stewart, a loving mother and local teacher whose baby was on the beach, is on life support after a great white shark mauled her while she swam about 100 feet from shore off Coogee Beach, Sydney. She suffered severe injuries and lost an arm; doctors amputated the limb and her condition remains critical as first responders stabilized her and she was airlifted to St. Vincent’s Hospital. An off-duty lifeguard pulled her from the water, and a on-scene critical-care doctor assisted with care. Stewart, who has a 1-year-old daughter, is described by family as devoted and energetic; a GoFundMe page has been set up to cover medical expenses. She recently participated in long-distance swims for charity. Australia has seen a recent uptick in shark incidents, with several fatal attacks reported this year.

Ex-Miss Hall’s instructor faces rape charges for years of abuse

A private-school teacher at Miss Hall’s School in Pittsfield, MA, Matthew Rutledge, 64, has been charged with grooming and raping two former students—now adults—over years dating back to 2001–2005 and 2007–2010. Prosecutors, who initially said the acts weren’t illegal due to the victims’ ages, later charged him with three counts of rape. Rutledge resigned in 2024 amid the allegations; the school says it’s cooperating with investigators, and the victims have advocated for a law closing the loophole. Rutledge was arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and was released on personal recognizance with a pre-trial date set for June 18.
