Waitheing For a Girl Like You

Not her, and run away from him as fast as you can, ladies:

"Former Northeastern track coach charged with tricking student-athletes into sending nude photos, cyberstalking" by Travis Andersen Globe Staff, April 7, 2021

A former Northeastern University track coach was arrested Wednesday on federal charges that he used phony social media accounts to trick female student-athletes into sending him nude or semi-nude photos, and that he cyberstalked at least one athlete, prosecutors said.

What a jerk-off.

Steve Waithe, 28, was arrested in Chicago, where he lives, by FBI Boston special agents Wednesday morning, according to Acting US Attorney Nathaniel R. Mendell’s office. An initial court appearance was slated for Wednesday afternoon in the Northern District of Illinois, prosecutors said. Waithe will appear in Boston at a later date.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Waithe had hired a lawyer. He’s charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of cyberstalking, records show.

Waithe was fired in February 2019 after a university investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct toward female student athletes, university spokeswoman Renata Nyul said Wednesday. The victims were provided with counseling and other resources, she said. The university also contacted federal law enforcement officials and cooperated with their investigation, according to Nyul.

Court documents indicate Waithe coached track and field at Northeastern from October 2018 to February 2019. During that time, Waithe often asked to use female athletes’ cellphones under the pretense of filming their performance at practice and competitions, prosecutors said. He was sometimes seen “scrolling through” the phones, they said.

Starting around February 2020, Waithe allegedly duped female Northeastern track and field athletes into sending him nude or semi-nude photos of themselves. Prosecutors said he contacted the athletes through social media accounts, told them he’d seen compromising photos of them online, and offered to help get the photos removed from the Internet.

Under that pretense, prosecutors said, he asked for more nude or semi-nude photos that he could use for purported “reverse image searches.”

Waithe also allegedly cyberstalked at least one female Northeastern athlete from June to October of last year using social media messages, an anonymized phone number, and intrusion into her Snapchat account.

Prosecutors said the investigation revealed an Internet browsing history tied to Waithe that included searches for tips on hacking Snapchat accounts and visits to websites with titles such as “Can anyone trace my fake Instagram account back to me?”

I sure hope it wasn't planted!

He also targeted alleged victims under a purported “athlete research” or “body development” study, prosecutors said.

In that scheme, according to prosecutors, he used the personas “Katie Janovich” or “Kathryn Svoboda,” to e-mail potential victims and request, supposedly for a study, information on their height, weight, and diet habits. The e-mails also asked women to send photos of themselves in a “uniform or bathing suit to show as much skin as possible,” assuring the women their photos wouldn’t be shared or saved, the statement said.

Prosecutors said the e-mails often included attachments of sample nude and semi-nude images of a woman to demonstrate the types of pictures that victims should send. Court documents allege that investigators have identified more than 10 victims of the body-study scheme and over 300 related nude and semi-nude photos in Waithe’s e-mail accounts.

Waithe previously coached at several academic institutions, prosecutors said, including Penn State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of Tennessee, and Concordia University Chicago.....



The entire saga is going to be made into a series on Netflix.

Now back in your cell, kiddo:

"Emerson College taking action to deal with spike in COVID-19 cases" by Travis Andersen Globe Staff, April 7, 2021

Emerson College is taking several temporary steps to limit in-person interactions amid a spike in positive COVID-19 cases, a school official said Wednesday.

Two weeks to flatten the minuscule curve.

Erik Muurisepp, Emerson’s assistant vice president for campus life, confirmed the moves in an e-mail message to the college community.

Muurisepp wrote that in-person classes will continue, but a number of other changes will take effect at 5 p.m. Wednesday and remain in place for at least a week.

Those changes, he wrote, include prohibiting all in-person student activities and gatherings, including athletics, whether they’re held indoors or outdoors, with the exception of classes and virtual events; offering only to-go meals at the Dining Center; closing the fitness center at 52 Summer St.; barring group meetings at a college building located at 172 Tremont St.; making the library available for only socially distanced study and reserved study spaces; and prohibiting student travel.

Meaning what, the KID CAN'T LEAVE?

All for a "po$itivity rate" way under one percent!

According to Emerson’s publicly available online COVID-19 dashboard, the school logged 26 positive tests out of 5,891 between March 29 and April 4, for a positivity rate of 0.44 percent.

As of April 7, the dashboard says, 24 people were in isolation on campus, a designation reserved for those known or reasonably known to be infected. Also as of April 7, 38 people were in quarantine on campus, a designation that covers anyone who may have been exposed to the virus but hasn’t started to show symptoms.

WHAT the F**K does THAT MEAN?

Since January 11, the dashboard says, Emerson has logged 143 positive cases out of 62,297 tests administered, for a positivity rate of 0.23 percent.

They are imprisoned over that?

During the pause, Muurisepp wrote, students should only leave their residences for a limited number of reasons.

Enjoy your experience in totalitarian Soviet Russia, kids! 

What a lesson!

Those include attending in-person classes or studying at the library; picking up food; going outside for individual, physically distanced exercise; seeking medical care; getting a required COVID-19 test; or going to and from employment, he wrote.

“We also request that students not attend social events or gatherings in the community and not host any guests in their residential rooms or apartments,” Muurisepp wrote. “Visiting other residential rooms or lounges other than where you reside is not permitted.” 

They call it ISOLATION in JAIL, kids! 

Good God, what are they doing to young adults?

Time to get out of the room and go home, kids!

He added that students “should regularly complete the daily symptom check, even while limiting their movement for the next seven days. Reviewing and reporting how you feel, including any symptoms you might be experiencing, is essential to ensuring the health and safety of those who live and work on campus.”

He closed his note with a rallying cry, reminding Emerson community members that they’re in the home stretch of the spring semester.

“We have a few more weeks before the close of the spring term, and we encourage everyone to remain vigilant, properly wear your masks when you are in the company of people with whom you do not live, keep physical distance at all times, practice healthy hand hygiene, and continue to follow the testing protocol we have put in place,” Muurisepp wrote.

What a LITTLE $HIT TYRANT with his FIEFDOM! 

Enjoy it while it lasts, $hitter!

Btw, kids, the SOUTH is OPEN with NO RESTRICTIONS and CASES are COLLAPSING!

The restrictions at Emerson come a day after Northeastern University and Brown University both announced that students will have to get a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to campus in the fall.

Sadly, the ejewkhazional in$titutions are also EVIL!

While Northeastern remained in the single digits daily for positive cases for 16 of the first 21 days of March, it saw an 11-day streak of double-digit numbers each day from March 22 through April 1, according to data posted to the school website.

The most recent publicly available seven-day positive test rate at Northeastern was 0.32 percent, the site said Wednesday afternoon. To date, the site said, Northeastern has completed 921,912 tests, 1,746 of which have come back positive, for a positivity rate of about 0.18 percent.

“As you can see, we saw a rise in cases about a week ago,” said Northeastern spokeswoman Renata Nyul via email. “Our contact tracers determined that it was due to off-campus activities, including travel, by students. We launched an Instagram campaign, including peer-to-peer communication, and a News@Northeastern QA with the head of our testing/contact tracing person to remind students to stay vigilant as we are getting close to concluding a successful academic year with an in-person commencement in a few weeks.”

I can see why you kids are falling asleep in class because this is just regurgitated garbage that is never ending, zzzzzz.

The numbers, Nyul continued, “have declined significantly since then and are now at a very low rate.”

She said the school’s efforts are part of “our ongoing Protect The Pack campaign we have been running since last August. When we saw the recent rise we turned up the volume without having to start from scratch. We believe that is the reason we were effective in reducing the rise in cases.”

At Boston University, the student positivity rate for the week of March 31 through April 6 was 0.43 percent, out of 13,694 people tested, the school’s online data says. The faculty positivity rate for the same period was 0.20 percent, out of 1,523 people tested, and the staff positivity rate during that week was 0.21 percent, out of 3,841 non-faculty employees tested, according to the data.

Since July of 2020, the data shows, BU has logged 1,872 positive tests out of 910,475 tests administered, for a positivity rate of 0.21 percent.

Colin Riley, a BU spokesman, said via email that the school’s “continuing the frequent testing and daily symptom attestation we require of our students,” and that officials are “not contemplating a lockdown.”



The tyranny is based on an unholy and evil fraud, folks, a criminal endeavor the likes of which the world has never seen.

I gue$$ that covers it all. 

The Globe is out of Vogue, as is television.
