Schoolboy, 13, rapes his eight-year-old sister after watching porn on the X-Box because he 'wanted to try it out'

* Boy, 13, chose sister because she was small and 'couldn't remember stuff'
* Charity Rape Crisis says children accessing porn is a 'growing concern'
* Spokeswoman says more action is needed to tackle the issue
* X-Box maker Microsoft says our problem
* Company says it has 'robust' systems to control what users can see

A 13-year-old schoolboy raped his eight-year-old sister after watching pornography on an X-Box computer console, a court has heard.

The teenager told police he used the games console to view explicit material before he 'decided to try it out'.

The boy said he targeted his younger sister because she was small and 'couldn't remember stuff'.

At Blackburn Magistrates Court yesterday the boy admitted rape, indecent assault and inciting his sister to perform a sexual act on him.

The youngster, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has been bailed to live with relatives away from his sister while a pre-sentence report is being prepared.

Fiona Elvines, from the Rape Crisis Charity, said that children accessing pornography was a ‘growing concern’.

She said: 'This is going to completely destabilise this little girl’s life.

'It will take her a very long time to try and work through. It will have put her life on a different track and I do not want that to happen to anybody else.'

Ms Elvines told the Lancashire Telegraph 'For a long time, people have been sitting on the fence and saying we do not have the evidence to say porn is harmful, but now we are starting to have some evidence around young people’s exposure.

'How much evidence do you need? It shows that the government’s measures are extremely important and that we need to start acting.

'When children see porn, they have no context for what it is used for. There is pressure on children to be sexualised, particularly on younger boys, to start having sex.

'It is coming from peers and porn.'

The government has said that by the end of 2014 all devices with access to the internet will be blocked from accessing pornography, with users forced to opt in.

The X-Box customer support website says explicit content and internet access can be restricted using parental controls.

Microsoft, the company which makes the console, said: 'We have the greatest sympathy for all involved in this case.

'At Microsoft we have some of the most robust systems that allow parents to control what their children play and watch online.

'For example, access to the internet is switched off automatically for all child accounts on X-box, and we urge parents to review the settings on their children’s consoles.'

In November last year a 12-year-old boy admitted three charges of rape against his sister, aged under 10, after he watched pornography at school and went home to copy what he had seen.

The abuse took place over the course of a year and was only discovered after the girl confided in a family member.

The boy was given a three-year youth rehabilitation order and will continue to live at the family home.

He was ordered to register as a sex offender for two-and-a-half years.

The latest and funniest webgames - All in Game 321 : http://passport.game321.com

One of the most intensive first person shooter flash games I've ever played.

hello /games/,
I'm looking for a good poker game (Texas Hold'em of course), either flash or for Windows. I tried World Championship Poker 2, which is annoying, and Hoyle Casino 2006, which is just terrible.
This one: http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games4/gameindex/pokersuperstarsii.htm
is not bad, but the engine is not too intelligent, and I can already beat it quite easily.

Any suggestions?

* There are lots of cuts in this game because there are lots of newcomers.
* Pichu, Young Link, and Dr. Mario do not return.
* Ike, R.O.B., Ice Climbers, Jiggylpuff, Pokemon Trainer, Ness, Ganondorf, Meta Knight, Snake, Shiek, Wolf, and ZS Samus are cut.
* That is 10 cuts (excluding transformations).
* Everyone else (including Roy and Mewtwo) return.
* There are 18 newcomers! (exluding transformations)
* You saw 4.
* Other fourteen: Robin, Takamaru, Prince Sable, Blaziken, Zoroark, Masked Man/Claus, Ghirahim, Bandana Dee, Pac-Man, Krystal, Meowth, Dixie Kong, Palutena, and Ridley.
*Shiek is replaced by Impa

NSA 'can decode encrypted calls'

Washington - The cellphone encryption technology used most widely across the world can be easily defeated by the National Security Agency (NSA), an internal document shows.

   This gives the agency the means to decode most of the billions of calls and texts that travel over public airwaves every day, a Washington Post report last Friday reveals.

   While the military and law enforcement agencies have long been able to hack into individual cellphones, the NSA's capability appears to be far more sweeping because of the agency's global signals collection operation.

   The agency's ability to crack encryption used by the majority of cellphones in the world offers it wide-ranging powers to listen in on private conversations.

   United States law prohibits the NSA from collecting the content of conversations between Americans without a court order.

   But experts say that if the NSA has developed the capacity to easily decode encrypted cellphone conversations, then other nations likely can do the same through their own intelligence services, potentially to Americans' calls, as well.

   Encryption experts have complained for years that the most commonly used technology, known as A5/1, is vulnerable, and they have urged providers to upgrade to newer systems that are much harder to crack.

   Most companies worldwide have not done so, even as controversy has intensified in recent months over NSA collection of cellphone traffic, including of world leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

   The extent of the NSA's collection of cellphone signals and its use of tools to decode encryption are not clear from a top-secret document provided by former contractor Edward Snowden.

   But it states that the agency "can process encrypted A5/1" even when the agency has not acquired an encryption key, which unscrambles communications so that they are readable.

   Experts say the agency may also be able to decode newer forms of encryption, but only with a much heavier investment in time and computing power, making mass surveillance of cellphone conversations less practical.

   "At this point, you can still listen to any (individual person's) phone call, but not everybody's," said Mr Karsten Nohl, chief scientist at Security Research Labs in Berlin.

Washington Post

Saw this on pastebin the other day. What do you guys think about it? http://pastebin.com/v6vVKyuL

I can’t tell you how I got this information. Even if I did, I feel as if it would make no difference due to the “fake leaks” that have been flying around the web lately. It will be up to you, the reader, to decide whether or not you want to believe what I am about to tell you.
•    Bowser Jr. appears as an assist trophy. He flies around in his Koopa Clown Car and throws bomb-ombs and other items.
•    “Toad House” is a new assist trophy. A Toad House will pop out of the ground and Toadsworth will open the door and walk out. He will throw items to the player that summoned the assist trophy.
•    Waluigi and Hammer Bro return as assist trophies. Lakitu has been scrapped.
•    Professor E Gadd is one of the newcomers and he looks amazing in HD. He uses the Super Poltergust 3001 in his moveset and the Ghost Portrificationizer is his final smash. He also uses the Poltergust 5000 and its accessories, such as the Strobulb.
•    King Boo is an assist trophy. He summons lots of hostile Boos that will follow players when they aren’t facing them, but the Boos shield their face and stop if a player turns to them. King Boo and all the Boos will eventually disappear.
•    Dixie Kong is not with Diddy. She is her own character and uses her hair in her moveset.
•    Cranky Kong is an assist trophy. He uses his can to bounce around on top of foes.
•    King K Rool does make an appearance as a stage element on Gangplank Galleon.
•    Warioware and Yoshi have no newcomers.
•    Kat & Ana return as an assist trophy.
•    Kamek makes an appearance as an assist trophy. He changes the sizes of characters and causes chaos around the stage.
•    Sheik returns the same. She is not replaced by Impa.
•    Ganondorf also returns the same. He does not have a new moveset with his sword.
•    Tingle is the new Legend of Zelda character. He uses rupees, balloons, and bombs. He is extremely fun to play as.
•    Midna and Wolf Link is a new assist trophy. Wolf Link will run around biting at opponents and Midna will occasionally use the dark energy attack.
•    Beedle is another new assist trophy. He summons items, but opponents can possibly use them.
•    Zero Suit Samus returns.
•    Ridley does not appear as a character or a stage hazard. He is a boss and has been greatly improved from Brawl.
•    The Metroid assist trophy returns.
I will be posting the rest of the information I have over the next couple of days. All the information has been completed and will not change.
