 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife.

 JUSTICE SERVED: Supreme Court Affirms 12-Year Sentence for Child Rapist

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) wishes to inform the general public of a landmark victory in the fight against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). On May 8, 2026, the Supreme Court of Nigeria delivered a final judgment affirming the conviction and 12-year prison sentence of a 42-year-old man for the rape of his 15-year-old domestic help.


The incident occurred on March 11, 2017, when the convict took advantage of his wife and children’s absence to forcefully assault the victim, Judith James (name changed to protect her identity), at their residence. Following the assault, the convict threatened the victim’s life to ensure her silence.


Despite the intimidation, the victim eventually confided in a school official, leading to the Agency’s intervention and the subsequent arraignment of the defendant on November 11, 2017, under Section 1(2) of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPPA).


This final judgment serves as a stern reminder that the law is patient but persistent. NAPTIP remains committed to ensuring that perpetrators of violence, especially against vulnerable domestic workers and children, face the full weight of justice.
