MAP Alert News (August, September 2025)

Mu is glad to announce it can now operate a MAP news wrap service full time, supported by its editorial staff. We are calling it MAP Alert News.
Here's how it will work. Every month, we will post a blog article like this on the home page. The next month will be October, as this one is covering both August and September.
Each MAP Alert News post will contain a chronological list of all the news stories we find useful, unique or interesting. This list will be continuously updated throughout the month, regardless of what articles Mu posts on top of it.
The list items will be followed by bolded tags as follows:
I: MAP Identity | G: Groomer-libel/conspiracy | H: High Profile | N: Institutional | O: Online | M: Miscellany and Legal | S: Social Media event | C: Comments seen by editor
We will try to avoid posting repeated, transactional stories about criminal activity, since these are generally unhelpful. We also encourage Mu readers to post about any of these news stories on MAP Forum, where they will hopefully get feedback.

Horrifying testimonies seek to lift shroud of silence around ritual sex abuse claims G M N C
Police have opened an investigation into multiple allegations of organized ritual sexual abuse after accusers relayed harrowing testimony of torture, rape and other horrors to lawmakers late last month.
The July 27 hearing included testimony from alleged victims, now adults, regarding abuse they had experienced as children, primarily in the ultra-Orthodox and national-religious communities in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Haifa, Safed and elsewhere.
Accusers recounted tales of gruesome sexual abuse they experienced as children, usually by groups of people, involving ritualistic, religious rhetoric and iconography. The abuse took place in schools, synagogues, private homes, warehouses, cemeteries and forests, they alleged.
The testimony left MKs from the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality and the Special Committee on Youth Affairs visibly shaken, several in tears. [...] “I was around 15, tied to a torture bed in basements in the Tel Aviv area,” said one women, recalling an incident in which her abusers — including family members — slaughtered a snake, mixed its blood with hers and drank it, while raping her and calling her a “holy vessel.” [...] Another accuser said that her father and others abused and trafficked her as a child in “sadistic networks involving rituals,” allegedly including well-known figures, including politicians.
Several victims noted that many of the incidents were filmed on cameras or phones.
“It’s hard to explain what happens there,” she said. “There are children, cameras, blood, and death.”

Man filmed My Little Pony sex act in front of girls M O
In at least two of the videos, he penetrated a My Little Pony soft toy, while in another he used a sex aid in front of the children, the prosecutor said. His victims aged in range from nine to 14 [...] Jackson told police he had not actually been speaking directly to the girls but rather he had taken videos of himself and edited them to go alongside footage he found online, Ms Wright said. That led to a three-year delay as further forensic examinations were needed to prove he was lying, which extended even further during the coronavirus pandemic, the court heard. Judge Amanda Rippon said none of the 27 or so girls in Jackson's videos had been identified but it was "well established" that "remote sexual abuse had devastating lifelong consequences" for the victims.

A 13-year-old girl has said she struggles to leave the house and faces bouts of “uncontrollable crying” after being followed around a supermarket in Leeds by a convicted paedophile. [...] Sentencing Iqbal for the “serious breach” of his order, His Honour Judge Khokhar said that the impact on the victim had been “enormous”. Judge Khokhar said: “She was frightened by the experience of seeing you and your actions. “Thereafter it seems that her life has been affected and considerable harm has been caused to her and I’m sure that some of the fears and anxiety she experiences will continue for a period of time. That is the natural consequence of a crime of this nature.” Iqbal was sentenced to 18 months in prison and a restraining order was imposed on him for an indefinite period.

- Unpopular Opinion: Don't Follow Your Heart I
Presently, a 50-year-old man can be a woman, but not a 21-year-old boy; even if he already acts like the latter. When a grown man unintentionally identifies as a manchild and shacks up with girls, it used to be called grooming. Cop the rebrand: Minor Attracted Persons. How dare you call them pedophiles, you bigot! Don’t you know that their affections towards the pre-pubescent are so very real and everyone has the right to live out their truth?
