Prosecutors say the veteran officer knew better, but instead left to get his gun, badge and handcuffs. Dawkins father Curtis Dawkins came out and spoke to us a few hours ago.

Cop accused of prostituting children was back in court briefly today and sources tell wusa9 there may be more victims and more arrests coming. One big question still hanging over the case, how could Linwood Barnhill allegedly advertise children for sex on the countrys second largest classified ads site . Bruce leshan is here with more on that. The site is backpage. Com and while activists have forced craigslist to stop openly advertising sex for sale on its site, backpage continues accepting pretty thinly veiled ads for prostitution including sex with children. Police say they busted Linwood Barnhill with one 16yearold in his apartment and they say he may have been prostituting more than a half dozen girls taking nude pictures of them and posting the images on backpage. Com. Critics say backpage is the largest source of Adult Services listings on the internet generating 3 to 4 million a month in revenue and it has been implicated over and over and over again in cases of child sex trafficking. The New York Times interviewed a young woman named bryanna who says her pimp sold sex with her on backpage starting when she was just 16. Backpage makes it easier because the men can buy whatever they need and they can buy rugs for their wives, gifts for their children and buy a child as well. Reporter backpage has resisted pressure from state attorneys general including marylands doug gansler to shut down the trade. State prosecutors say they have been left powerless to prosecute online classified ad sites that promote and profit from frost fusion and Human Trafficking because prostitution and Human Trafficking because of a quirk in the way the courts have interpreted the Communications Decency act. The prosecutors have been pushing unsuccessfully so far for congress to change the law. Backpage insists it takes credit card numbers and responds promptly to police subpoenas and it insists closing down the Adult Services section would have no impact on the child sex trade and alleged pimps like Linwood Barnhill who prey on children. Under the Communications Decency act sites like backpage do not have to police what someone else posts on their site. It is up to the police to police that and an epidemic of child sex trafficking suggests that that is just not working. Wow, thank you.

S. Trained doctor would accept obamacare. So give us the truth about the forecast. I just wish it were more clear cut and i could bring out the breadometer because its nice to have a storm on the weekend when people are home, but it wont be a clear cut snow and generally not an ice storm either. Its a different scenario than last sunday. Lets start with some points, snow, then rain, start time 6 a. M. To 9 a. M. The snow will mix or change to rain between noon and 3 p. M. , especially districts south and east and hang on north of frederick and maryland and winchester. Mainly snow for the mountains. I dont think that will change. You may end in take little sleet. Heres our hand drawn map. Weve got a trace to an inch in the immediate metro area, maybe 1 to 2 inches gaithersburg to clarkbsurg towards leesburg and winchester is on the cuff there and then you get out toward north of winchester toward frederick up towards layingers town 2 to 4 and the bulls eye continues to be hagerstown 2 to pour and the bulls eye continues to be in western virginia 4 to 8. Right now lets start with a live look outside, our live, very quiet. If you have plans, go out and take advantage of that friday night, 39, dew point low. Well watch that because as precipitation falls tomorrow that will cause the surface temperature to fall as well. Winds south, southwest at 6. Heres our storm and a much different storm. See how far north the precipitation is . Thats going to bring a lot of warm air northward. Thats why this is not a clear cut situation and we dont have the cold air we had last sunday for ice. This will spread a lot of snow to the midwest and ohio valley overnight into tomorrow morning and then get in here tomorrow and tomorrow night. Just a few clouds went through earlier. We now have some breaks, but the clouds return and will thicken by dawn. Temps still 40 in college park, 34 in reston, 35 in springfield and 39 down in waldorf. So not crazy cold. No worries tonight, not as cold. Some snow mixed saturday morning and then it changes from rain to snow saturday afternoon and roads are just wet in the metro area saturday night. Youre inside the beltway and have plans saturday night, i think youll be fine. Just dont travel into western maryland. Thickening clouds tonight, not as cold, 28 to 32, winds easterly at 10. Well break it down. Snow developing and rain south and east, 28 to 34. By afternoon snow and a mix goes to rain slowly, 30 five to 40 and then 35 to 40 and then a cold rain, 34 to 39 by evening. So weve got a yellow alert tomorrow and seasonably cold sunday, a few clouds early but then low 40s and cold monday, a few clouds late, maybe a flurry in the afternoon or overnight rather, temperatures back in the 30s. Heres another model how much snow could fall and again weve got that trace to an inch 95 eastward and then more as you go to the west, a couple inches in gaithersburg maybe, but the bulls eye still cumberland, oakland, 6, 7, maybe 8 inches. Tuesday were back in the mid 40s. We go down to the 30s on wednesday. Look what happens. Milder on thursday near 50 and ive not put 50s on in a while, were in the mid50s and dry next friday. Theres something to look forward to. Of course, it could always change. Just leave everything out. Its tough. Its d. C.
