Arizona High School Counselor Arrested for Having Sex with 15-Year-Old Girl

14 May 2022

A former Arizona high school counselor who previously helped students organize a drag show (Drag Queen Story Hour) was arrested and accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl, according to police.

The Tucson Police Department's Child Sexual Assault Unit received a report of an inappropriate relationship between Zobella Brazil Vinik, 29, and a 15-year-old student at Tucson High Magnet School. At the time, Vinik was employed as a counselor at the school. Authorities launched an investigation into the claims on May 3.

On May 5, the school district put Vinik on administrative leave and initiated its own investigation. On the same day, Vinik resigned from her counselor position and is no longer an employee of the Tucson Unified School District.

On May 11, Vinik turned herself in to the police for the alleged charges of an inappropriate sexual relationship that occurred off-campus. She was charged with one count of sexual conduct with a minor, and was booked into the Pima County Jail.

According to Arizona law, sexual conduct with a minor who is at least 15 years old is a Class 6 felony. The crime is typically punishable by custody in state prison for up to two years. However, if the defendant is in a "position of trust," the offense become a Class 2 felony, which is punishable by upto 12 years in prison.

Vinik Exchanged 'Sexually' Inappropriate Messages with the Girl

According to KVOA, Vinik's ex-wife told law enforcement officials that the 15-year-old had been living with them in their home and sleeping next to Vinik. She reported that Vinik and the teenage girl had been sleeping together and she recently found Vinik's "underwear hidden under a pillow on the bed' that the student was sleeping in.

The Tucson-based news outlet also said that police seized cell phones through a search warrant, which "revealed inappropriate messages between the two that supports a sexual/romantic relationship." The interim complaint stated that the female victim "confirmed she had a sexual relationship" with the high school counselor and "that the relationship turned sexual around February 2022."

BLACK AN’ GAS

Cows must spend a lot of time wondering why humans are so obsessed with their gas. To the average cow, humans must seem like freakish fart fetishists.

If cows could speak, the conversations would likely go like this:

Bessie: “Last week this manic, googly-eyed Hispanic congresswoman was sniffing around my butt, trying to gauge my farts. I let one rip right as she was taking a breath. I thought it would annoy her, but she actually seemed to enjoy it.”

Clarabelle: “Sweetie, that’s nothing. A few days ago the British royal family was smelling my burps. I mean, I know they’re supposed to be inbred and all, but that’s just nasty.”

Yes, last week Prince Charles announced the £50,000 prizewinning invention in the Royal College of Art’s Sustainable Markets Initiative contest: a cow burp collector.

The Prince of Wales became the Prince of Gales as he heralded this foul-wind filter for Guernseys. The device, which looks like an S&M strap-on ball gag, is fitted to a cow’s nose and mouth, capturing errant belches so that, as described by The Telegraph, “the gas travels through a micro-sized catalytic converter, and is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and water vapour.”

Ostensibly, this is intended to save the planet in ways that only make sense to people who are dumber than cattle and far less useful.

While the bovine burpinator has yet to be mass-tested on cows to see if they’ll even wear the damn things, John Goodman has volunteered to test it on humans.

“Seriously, you don’t want to be around me after a cabbage pie and ten beers,” he told The Telegraph. “If they can make one of these for the other end, too, my wife might actually let me back in the bedroom.”

"We don't understand this system as well as we thought we did" should be the motto not just of geneticists, but of economists, climatologists, epidemiologists, et alii ad infinitum. But it isn't, and it likely never will be.

The overweening arrogance of technocratic "experts" will be our undoing.

Gene-editing experiment turns fluffy hamsters into 'aggressive' mutant rage monsters

A team of scientists in the US have accidentally created overly-aggressive mutant hamsters following a gene-editing experiment.

Using the controversial CRISPR technology, researchers at Northwestern University were examining a hormone called vasopressin and its receptor, Avpr1a.

They opted to try and remove the latter from a group of Syrian hamsters, with the expectation it would increase bonding and co-operation between the lovable little critters.

That’s because Avpr1a is understood to regulate things like teamwork and friendship as well as dominance and bonding.

Their expectation proved to be wrong. Very wrong.

‘We were really surprised at the results,’ said Professor H Elliot Albers, the lead researcher on the study.

‘We anticipated that if we eliminated vasopressin activity, we would reduce both aggression and social communication.

‘But the opposite happened.’

The academics found the adorable bundles of fluff turned into mutant rage monsters exhibiting ‘high levels of aggression towards other same-sex individuals’.

All hamsters, regardless of genotype or sex, exhibited aggression (including chasing, biting, and pinning) when exposed to a nonaggressive, same-sex conspecific in a neutral arena.

Professor Albert admitted the results of the experiment were a ‘startling conclusion’.

The scientists chose to experiment with Syrian hamsters because, unlike mice, they have a social organisation that’s similar to humans.

Professor Albert explained: ‘Even though we know that vasopressin increases social behaviours by acting within a number of brain regions, it is possible that the more global effects of the Avpr1a receptor are inhibitory.

‘We don’t understand this system as well as we thought we did.’ [emphasis added - OB]
