WHO needs paparazzi when you've got family?

That seems to be the thinking behind the trend for a growing number of celebrities taking matters into their own hands and sharing intimate snaps with fans via Twitter, Facebook and their own blogs.

Wife posts bail for man charged with raping daughter

KUALA LUMPUR - A wife insisted on posting bail for her husband in the Sessions court here, although he had been slapped with three counts of raping and molesting their 15-year-old daughter.

The husband, a 38-year-old army staff sergeant, had earlier pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

The prosecution, represented by deputy public prosecutor S. Malini Anne, had not offered bail as she was concerned that the accused might harass his daughter further.

However, the accused, from the dock, asked to be granted bail and said his wife was present to post bail for him.

Dressed in a long black robe and a bright pink headscarve, the wife said "Yes", when the judge repeatedly asked if she was sure of her decision, as the victim was her own daughter.

"As a wife, I know my husband is problematic," she told the court.

Judge Emelia Kaswati Mohamad Khalid, however, still did not appear satisfied with her answer and continued to grill her.

Emelia: Can you vouch that he will not harass your daughter? Can you ensure that they will live separately?

Wife: Yes.

Emelia: What if he harasses you, or if he has the key to your home? What if he forces you to open the door for him? Puasa (the fasting month), and Hari Raya are coming soon. I'm sure he'll want to see the family. Can you ensure they (father and daughter) won't meet?

Wife: I am fully responsible for my promise.

On the first charge, the man was accused of raping his daughter in a bedroom of their home in Desa Tun Hussein Onn, here, at about 3am on June 21, this year.

This amounts to an offence under Section 376 of the Penal Code, and if convicted, he can be jailed between eight and 30 years, and sentenced to at least 10 strokes of the rotan.

On the second charge, he was accused of molesting his daughter by inserting his finger into her private parts, at the same time and place. He also faces a third charge of molesting the girl by groping her private parts at about 3am, one night in the middle of last year.

Both charges are offences under Section 354 of the Penal Code, and the man can be jailed up to 10 years, or fined, or whipped, or face any two of such punishments, for each charge.

The court finally granted him bail at RM8,000 (S$3,259) with one surety for all three charges, with additional conditions that both father and daughter are separated and not allowed to meet at all.

The court also ordered him to report himself to the police station nearest his home once a month, and fixed Aug 2 for mention.

Man posts hostage situation on FB

Jason Valdez held a woman hostage during a 16-hour standoff with Swat…and posted the developments on Facebook.

 Valdez barricaded himself inside the Western Colony Inn in the United States, according to AP reports.

"I'm currently in a standoff ... kinda ugly, but ready for whatever," Valdez wrote in his first post.

"I love u guyz and if I don't make it out of here alive that I'm in a better place and u were all great friends."

Valdez said in posts that he was with a woman named Veronica. Police described her as a hostage.

In his posts, Valdez told friends when police shut off the power that his "hostage" was fine - and with him willingly - and that police are jeopardising her life by their actions.

At 2.04am, Valdez posted two pictures of himself and the woman.

"Got a cute 'Hostage' huh," Valdez wrote of the photographs.

At 3.48am, one of Valdez's friends posted that police had a "gunner in the bushes stay low".

Valdez thanked him in a reply.

The final post was at 7.25am on Saturday:

"Well i was lettin this girl go but these dumb b-------s made an attempt to come in after i told them not to, so i popped off a couple more shots and now were startin all over again it seems ..."

Swat officers stormed Valdez's room about 90 minutes later.

When officers swarmed the room, Valdez shot himself in the chest with a handgun, Ogden police said.

He was in critical condition.

Police never fired, Ogden Lieutenant Danielle Croyle said.

Police believe that responses from Valdez's friend gave him an advantage.

It wasn't immediately clear, however, whether police were following the posts in real-time, though the department spokeswoman said officers routinely search the Internet and other sources for background on suspects.

In all, Valdez made six posts and added at least a dozen new friends.

His family and friends responded with 100 comments. Some people offered words of support, and others pleaded for him to "do the right thing".

Court records show Valdez has a criminal history, including convictions for aggravated assault and domestic violence in front of a child.

Authorities are now discussing whether some of Valdez' s friends should be arrested and charged with obstruction of justice for hampering a police investigation.

"We're not sure yet how to deal with it," said Croyle.
