PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former Philadelphia police officer has been sentenced to 15 to 40 years in state prison after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting women and girls — often while in uniform and in the back of his police vehicle. Patrick Heron, 54, entered the pleas Friday after reaching an agreement with prosecutors in advance of a trial on more than 200 counts that included child sex assault, child pornography, kidnapping and related offenses, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Jane Roh, spokesperson for the district attorney’s office, said victims who are now spared the trauma of a trial welcomed the guilty plea. Investigators said they later found photos and videos indicating predatory behavior spanning years and including dozens of often vulnerable young women and girls including those who had run away, been arrested or struggled with addiction. She said investigators have identified 48 victims, though many of their identities remain unknown, and more likely haven't come forward.

After playing outside, Peter Mutabazi serves his foster kids ice cream in their Charlotte, North Carolina, home. Sean Mcinnis/The Charlotte Observer/ZumaHe blurs the faces of his foster kids to maintain their privacy. Mutabazi says it’s not easy being a single dad and relies on a community of other foster parents to help. At the same time, foster kids also need space to process feelings that they’re not ready to share, Fleisher says.

Activist Olivia Julianna confronted Matt Gaetz at the Capitol during the State of the Union address. She said she thanked him for helping her fundraise $2 million for abortion rights. Julianna and Gaetz got into a Twitter spat last year after he body-shamed abortion-rights activists. While in the US Capitol building, Julianna said she confronted Gaetz, the Republican lawmaker she credits with helping her raise millions for abortion funds, after he targeted her online. "Just want everyone to know I just shook @mattgaetz hand and thanked him for helping me raise 2 million dollars," Julianna wrote on Twitter.
