Yup: they did it

Mortgage banker arrested for child abuse

Michael Olson, 55, was axed by Dwight Mortgage Trust on Thursday, the same day he was indicted on 17 criminal counts that included his alleged sexual abuse of the young teen he is accused of grooming through Instagram.

…. Prosecutors said Olson targeted underage Asian girls who posted about money troubles or self-harm on social media.

Many of the girls listed their middle or high schools in the Instagram bios — and Olson kept screenshots of the New York City public school calendar handy, as well as Uber receipts showing pickups from elementary and middle schools, prosecutors said.

Olson even allegedly devised a spreadsheet detailing the drugs he fed his victims and how much he paid them.

“In his own words, he detailed how he would pay them first to meet with him, and then pay them more if they performed oral sex on him or have intercourse with him,” Manhattan prosecutor John Fuller said in court Thursday.

Olson first contacted his 14-year-old accuser in December 2022 when she posted on Instagram about struggling to afford clothes, according to the indictment.

He allegedly raped the girl on multiple occasions, including a handful of dates between April and May 2023, in exchange for $700 a week.

The girl also traveled with him to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami, which Olson managed by passing her off as his daughter in bogus boarding-pass information, prosecutors said.

Authorities were tipped off to Olson’s alleged activities May 26, when the victim overdosed on a lethal cocktail of cocaine and ketamine in their Manhattan hotel room. Items recovered from the room also included sex objects such as vibrators, handcuffs, rope, lubricant and condoms, authorities said.

“The defendant said he brought these objects to the hotel that day as gifts [to] a 14-year-old girl,” Fuller said.

San Francisco high school teacher suspended for targeting white students

A San Francisco high school teacher was suspended after she singled out white male students and made an example of them, asking them if they “felt like a minority” during a class.

Parents and students reported Lowell High School teacher Nicole Noel Henares in September 2022 after she asked white male students to stand as a group in front of the rest of their class.

[S]tudents said they “felt confused, sad and there was no correct answer for them in that moment” when Henares called them out.
