Woman buys iPad, gets mirror

Published

TEXAS: A woman who bought iPad for $200 from Texas swindler finds out she was conned into buying a mirror.

Jalonta Freeman paid $200 for the tablet in a false scheme that experts say it tends to pick up during the holidays, reports NY Daily News.

The incident occurred when a stranger approached several women hanging around in a parking lot of a gas station with iPads and laptops.

He offered the women up to 75 per cent discounts, which the women could not resist. The stranger told Freeman, he would be willing to sell her an $800 iPad for a heavy discount.

Freeman was just one of the women who thought it was too good an offer to pass and she paid the man who handed over the 'iPad' to her and drove off.

Once she tore open the packaging, she realised that the iPad was just a plain old mirror.

In her excitement, she did not even notice the swindler's license plate number and the police was able to do little without the vital information.

An upset Freeman told the daily that she would never buy anything from a street vendor ever again.

Father gets only 1 year for raping girl and getting her pregnant

UK: In a horrific incident, a 13-year-old girl had given birth to a healthy baby after she was raped and made pregnant by her own father.

The baby's mother is also his sister while the boy’s father is also his grandfather.

The father was charged after DNA tests revealed that the child was his. Even though the prosecutors demanded 20 years in prison, he was sentenced behind bars only for one year after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting and impregnating his daughter.

The daughter, who is 27 now is devastated after she learnt about how her father got away with ruining her life with just a soft slap on his wrist, simply because he pleaded guilty and admitted that he had a problem.

When Montgomery is released from prison, he will be on probation for four years and he will have to register as a sex offender.

The woman does not know who to tell her teenage son that he is also her brother and that his father is also his grandfather and he would be out of prison within a year.
