A stepbrother has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was found dead aboard a Carnival Cruise ship in November, according to her father. In other news, actor Timothy Busfield has been indicted by a grand jury on child sex abuse charges, and former President Donald Trump removed a social media video containing a racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama.
The stepbrother's arrest was announced this week by Chris Kepner, Anna Kepner's father, who is also the stepfather of the suspect, according to ABC News. The stepbrother was released to the custody of a guardian, but the specific charges he is facing remain unknown. Anna Kepner was reported dead while aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship in November. Her family has stated they will remember her as a "happy, bubbly, straight-A student with a bright future ahead," according to ABC News.
In a separate case, actor Timothy Busfield was indicted by a grand jury on child sex abuse contact charges following his arrest last month in New Mexico, as reported by ABC News. Busfield is facing multiple counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, according to Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. The District Attorney's office emphasized that protecting children remains a top priority.
Former President Donald Trump removed a social media video that included a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, according to multiple sources, including the BBC and the New York Times. The clip, set to the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," was at the end of a 62-second video shared by Trump that contained claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump stated he had only seen the beginning of the video before it was posted by a staff member and was unaware of the depiction of the Obamas, according to the BBC. The decision to delete the link from his Truth Social account was a notable retreat, as his press secretary had initially dismissed criticism of the video, according to the New York Times.
