U.S. Marine Timothy Caldwell CHARGED with Attempted Kidnapping After 12-Year-Old Girl Punched Him, Escaped and Took His Photo.
Caldwell, 20, allegedly grabbed the girl while she was walking home from school in Silverdale, Washington, and told her to come with him.
She punched him, escaped, and photographed him as she fled.
Her father posted the photo on Facebook, received a tip identifying Caldwell’s apartment complex, and went there to call 911.
Deputies arrested Caldwell two days after the alleged attack.
He faces attempted second-degree kidnapping and fourth-degree assault charges, with bail set at $350,000.
When deputies arrived to arrest Caldwell, they asked if he knew why they were there.
His reported response: “Best guess is that Facebook post.”
He was referring to the photo the girl’s father had shared on Facebook to help identify him.
At 19, Evan Rachel Wood starred in 38-year-old Marilyn Manson's music video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses." She says he fed her absinthe and had sex with her for real in front of the crew.
Years later, after she named him publicly, Manson sued her for defamation. He ended up dropping his own lawsuit and paying over $300,000 for her lawyers.
In the video below, she tells it herself, starting with the shoot.
They met at the Chateau Marmont when she was 18 and he was 37, still married to Dita Von Teese.
On the music video set, she was the youngest person in the room. There was no nudity clause and no closed set. She didn't think her clothes were coming off that day.
Before the cameras rolled, she was given absinthe. Someone on set later told her Manson had privately asked wardrobe for underwear that could be easily ripped off.
When the scene started, she froze.
"His hands are around my neck. His face is pressed into my face. Even if I wanted to say no, I couldn't say no."
The video has been watched tens of millions of times. It is still up on YouTube.
At home, whenever Manson put on his stage makeup, she knew he would trash the house. She locked herself in the bathroom so often that she strung lights and put music inside. Once, she ducked as he swung a heavy cane at her head. It hit the doorframe beside her and snapped in half.
She tried to leave seven times before it stuck.
In 2021, at the peak of her run on HBO's Westworld, she named him on Instagram. Manson sued her for defamation and fraud.
After a judge threw out most of his claims, Manson offered to pay her a settlement to end his own case.
She refused to take a cent for herself. She demanded only the $300,000 she had spent on legal fees, and rejected his gag order that would have banned her from speaking about him again.
"You're not taking one more thing from me, and you'll never have my voice."
He paid her legal bill and walked away.
People still ask what she expected dating Marilyn Manson at 18. Why does nobody ask what a 37-year-old man expected when the cameras were rolling?
They finally got your boy. @FinalDude78 has been permabanned LOL it's been real my dudes and gals but I was just about burned out with this place anyway. Thank you for all the love and laughs y'all gave me on a daily basis. LONG LIVE HORROR!
Lexington Steele has seen men fight on porn sets, naked and still hard, and he says breaking it up is the funniest thing in the world, because you're trying to get between them without anything touching you. He came close to a fight himself. He was shooting in Prague or Hungary for West Coast Productions with Darren James, Justin Slayer, Mr. Marcus and Mark Anthony when one of the guys kept refusing to be on the bottom in a DP. Lex was tired of always being the one stuck down there, so he got up off the bed and they went at it. He won't say who it was. One of the few times he couldn't perform, he says, was with a girl drinking so heavily she couldn't do her part, and fans who watch a guy fail on camera have no idea what happened behind the scenes.
Nikki Benz has never seen women fight in her girl-girl-boy scenes, since casting usually sorts out who won't work with whom. Her story is about a female co-star at a rented house who kept sneaking the owners' alcohol while the director wasn't looking, got drunk and arrogant, and started trying to fight people until she was sent home before the crew could beat her up. Vlad adds that his friend Swave beat up a couple of dudes on sets over the years, and he remembers a Seymour Butts reality show that aired girls in a fistfight.
Two of the men on Lex's trip made headlines later. Mr. Marcus faked a syphilis test in 2012, helped shut the industry down, and went to jail for it. In April 2004 Darren James tested positive for HIV in routine screening after a condomless shoot in Brazil, where he's believed to have caught it. Production companies stopped shooting, 53 performers who had sex with him or his partners went into quarantine, and at least one actress who worked with him, 21-year-old newcomer Lara Roxx, also tested positive. James later took a job as a security guard, and by 2009 he was arguing for mandatory condoms in porn.
Nikki was born in Ukraine in 1981, grew up in Toronto, and became Penthouse Pet of the Year 2011, a title that came with a diamond key necklace. In 2014 she announced a run for mayor of Toronto against Rob Ford, who was in rehab over crack cocaine at the time, and told voters to trade in their Ford for a Benz. The city rejected her application because her Ontario driver's license had expired. In June 2016 Brazzers made her its first brand ambassador. That December she accused director Tony T. of choking her and co-star Ramon Nomar of stomping on her during a shoot called Nikki Goes Nuts, and said it wasn't supposed to be a rape scene. Brazzers cut ties with Tony T. He denied everything, and on the day she went to police, he and Nomar sued her and Brazzers for defamation. Nomar dropped out of that suit in early 2017. In 2018 she sued Brazzers, its parent company MindGeek, Tony T. and Nomar for sexual battery, alleging she was hit on the face, head and breasts until she bled. In 2019 a California appeals court handed her a significant loss in Tony T.'s case against her.
Are porn set fights just funny behind-the-scenes stories, or is the stuff that never made it to camera much worse than anything Lex and Nikki told here?
