Federal prosecutors are considering child-pornography charges against Anthony Weiner, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. The news comes according to sources familiar with the FBI and Manhattan U.S. attorney’s investigation into allegations the former Democratic congressman had exchanged sexually explicit messages with a 15-year-old girl. The Journal reported that Weiner’s lawyers have met with prosecutors and have attempted to dissuade them from bringing child-porn charges, which carry a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence. This latest probe into Weiner’s sexting habits had a drastic effect on the 2016 presidential race, with FBI chief James Comey announcing mere weeks before Election Day that agents had found a laptop used by Weiner, containing emails potentially related to the probe of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

A single mother of three, facing deportation, says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada failed her family, who fear their lives will be in jeopardy if they are sent back to Jamaica next month.
"I'm at a loss," said Natasha Gordon-Jones, who has spent the last five years in St. Catharines, Ont. trying to keep her family safe.
"I have exhausted my efforts. I have paid over $25,000 to lawyers. I've got receipts to show."
The family of four is scheduled to be deported on Feb. 24 by Canada Border Service Agency, to the country they've been trying to escape. ​
"It's not because of poverty why I'm here. It's circumstance," Gordon-Jones told CBC News.
The Gordon-Jones family kept its deportation fight a secret, until one of her sons, 17-year-old Joshua-Lee Jones revealed this unknown past and his family's struggle to his Grade 12 English class at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School two weeks ago.
Now students and teachers are fighting for the family and supporting them. They've launched a campaign to help them obtain refugee status.

FAR from the days when we enjoyed most of town and could see the final fete in the National Park. Now it is down Brickdam and stop. We had more energy, less money and more good times back when GuySuCo and all the big companies participated. Life was that sweet. People on the sidelines could join in and enjoy the fete along with the participants, because you would always see somebody you know enjoying themselves in the masquerade band.
The good days when the XM 5-year was the drink of choice, lime rickey was available and everyone would cook up a storm and sit on their verandahs and enjoy the sweetness of Mashramani.
The Sports Hall would be packed for soca competitions and the talk of the town would be on the lyrics of the winner. Usually criticising something that went or was going wrong. Everyone would enjoy a good laugh. All the schoolchildren would get ready for Mass Games and enjoy being proud Guyanese, but still complain about the hot sun. Yet they loved being outside in the fresh air, avoiding class and enjoyed the positive energy of people smiling all the time, because we were getting ready for Mash.
Don’t forget how much money would be spent and memories would be made on the mall. Especially when relatives from overseas come visit and start reminiscing of the good old days and would say how things not that bad, because they were having a good time during Mash. I guess things are too busy for a good time this year.
Miss a year and come back with a miniature display of what others are calling carnival. Please try to do better and bring back a proper Mash-up during Mashramani. We’re not that busy to not have a good time.
Best regards,
Jamil Changlee
