Health care worker who allegedly twerked on disabled patient's head smirks in arrest photo: 'Disgusted is the only word'



A Georgia health care worker has been accused of twerking on the head of a disabled patient and then posting video of the act on TikTok to garner social media likes, according to officials.

The Loganville Police Department said in a statement that on Jan. 23 officials there were "made aware of a ‘viral’ video posted to social media depicting a female dancing in a provocative manner above a disabled person, who was seated in a chair."

'I was appalled and disgusted that anyone would create such a video featuring a disabled person.'

Officer Kenneth Raines wrote in the affidavit, "The accused did touch the victim on the head and chest in a provocative manner and began to rub her genitals on the top of the victim's head as she continued to dance."

An officer wrote in the arrest warrant that the suspect uploaded video of the act to TikTok "to accumulate views or followers."

Police named the suspect as 19-year-old Lucrecia Kormassa Koiyan of Loganville.

On Tuesday, Koiyan was arrested and charged with one felony count of exploitation of a disabled person.

"I was appalled and disgusted that anyone would create such a video featuring a disabled person,” Police Chief M.D. Lowry told USA Today. "As police officers, our highest duty is to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and my detectives worked as swiftly as possible to bring charges in this incident."

Law enforcement reviewed the video of the alleged abuse and is investigating a second video allegedly involving Koiyan twerking on a shirtless handicapped patient in a bathtub.

"Our detectives are working with several other jurisdictions to determine the location the second video was filmed," Lowry said. "At this time, we cannot say with certainty that the video was filmed in our jurisdiction, but the investigation is ongoing."

Lowry added that additional charges are "certainly possible."

Authorities were not certain as to which health care company the suspect was working with when the videos were recorded.

The videos have since been deleted from TikTok.

Koiyan was seen smirking in her mugshot.

On Wednesday, she posted $7,500 bond.

HS basketball player caught on video punching 2 opposing players to the floor during game



A Georgia high school basketball player was caught on video punching a pair of opposing players to the floor during game earlier this month — and the puncher faces battery charges as a result.

TMZ Sports said the violence commenced around 6 p.m. Jan. 3 during a contest at Sonoraville High School in Calhoun, which was taking on the team from visiting Rockmart High School.

TMZ Sports said it obtained an incident report from the Gordon County Sheriff's Office indicating that the Rockmart player — a 16-year-old — got physical because his opponent 'kept calling him the N-word and he lost his temper.'

Cellphone video shows a Rockmart player shove a Sonoraville player to the hardwood. But when the shoved player rises to his feet and turns around to face his adversary, the Rockmart player punches the Sonoraville player in the face, sending him back to the floor and flat on his back.

With that, another Sonoraville player who was sitting on the bench sprints at the Rockmart player who threw the punch — and the Rockmart player puts him on the floor as well with a fast punch to the head.

A near-melee breaks out, with the Rockmart player backing up, bouncing on his feet and rotating his fists like a boxer — but it appears that adults get between him and the Sonoraville players, and the Rockmart player is led away.

While the second Sonoraville player got up right away after the right to his head, the first punched Sonoraville player was still lying on the floor and being helped by numerous adults as the clip ended.

You can view video here of the shove, punches, and aftermath.

TMZ Sports said it obtained an incident report from the Gordon County Sheriff's Office indicating that the Rockmart player — a 16-year-old — got physical because his opponent "kept calling him the N-word and he lost his temper."

The outlet noted that the incident report doesn't indicate whether the Sonoraville player admitted to using racist language.

The Rockmart player who got violent was facing two charges of simple battery, TMZ Sports said, citing police documents.

The outlet added that it reached out to Sonoraville High School for comment but had not yet heard back and that Rockmart hadn't yet publicly addressed the incident.

Stacey Abrams' groups forced to pay largest campaign violation fine recorded in Georgia's history



Two groups founded by failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) that sided with alleged domestic terrorists in 2023 have been slapped with what the Georgia State Ethics Commission indicated Wednesday was both the largest fine it has ever imposed and possibly also "the largest Ethics Fine ever imposed by any State Ethics Commission in the country related to an election and campaign finance case."

Abrams and her groups have been embroiled in scandals for over a decade. Atlanta Magazine reported in 2015, around the time Abrams' groups were apparently siphoning millions of dollars in donations and turning out pitiful results, that funders were keen to know where their money went. The late state Sen. Vincent Fort stated, "[Abrams] hasn't been open and transparent."

Influence Watch noted that in its first years, Abrams' nonprofit New Georgia Project — whose stated mission is "to build power with and increase the civic participation of ... black, Latinx, AAPI, and young Georgians ... and other historically marginalized communities" — not only failed to meet its quotas but was accused of submitting fraudulent voter registration applications and paying over $1.5 million to a D.C.-based voter registration firm instead of doing the work itself. Meanwhile, Abrams was accused of taking a massive salary while working for only 20 hours per week for the organization.

When it came time for Abrams to announce her ill-fated gubernatorial bid in 2017, her groups were apparently ready to engage in far more consequential wrongdoing on her behalf.

In 2019, a Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission attorney filed complaints alleging that the NGP engaged in substantial election spending in 2018 and 2019 without registering or filing the required disclosures. In the investigation that ensued, the commission subpoenaed the NGP's bank records and invoices.

'This represents the largest and most significant instance of an organization illegally influencing our statewide elections.'

The commission alleged in 2022 that Abrams' New Georgia Project and the New Georgia Project Action Fund had failed to disclose over $3 million worth of electioneering expenses and over $4 million in political contributions between 2017 and 2019. Axios noted at the time that the commission argued the action fund and the nonprofit operated as a single entity but neglected to register as a super PAC or "independent committee" and failed to detail electioneering expenses.

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock (Ga.) was CEO of the scandal-plagued outfit in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The commission advanced the complaint in August 2022, having determined that the NGP and its corresponding action fund had violated campaign ethics laws at least eight times. It turns out that the group was apparently guilty of many more violations than first thought.

The Georgia State Ethics Commission noted Wednesday, several six- and seven-figure NGP financial discrepancies later, that "this represents the largest and most significant instance of an organization illegally influencing our statewide elections in Georgia that we have ever discovered."

The current leaders of Abrams' group admitted in the consent decree, unanimously approved by the ethics board and released Wednesday, to 16 instances of illegal activity and agreed to pay a fine of $300,000 for violating state law.

David Fox, a lawyer for the NGP and action fund, told commissioners over video, "The matter relates to events from more than five years ago, and respondents are eager to put the matter behind them," reported the Associated Press.

Michael Brewer, a spokesman for Warnock's Senate office, suggested that the Democrat who was listed as CEO of the NGP during the time of its worst known abuses knew nothing of the violations.

David Emadi, executive director of the commission, said of Warnock's potential culpability, "I'm not prepared to say he had direct involvement in this."

Politico noted that a spokesman for Abrams did not respond to its request for comment.

Fani Willis ordered to pay $22K for ignoring records request and hiding communications



Last week, a Georgia court ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to pay Judicial Watch nearly $22,000, finding that she ignored the organization's open records request and hid communications.

In August 2023, Judicial Watch submitted an Open Records Act request for communications Willis' office had with the Department of Justice's special counsel Jack Smith's office and the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, protest at the United States Capitol.

'The District Attorney's Office flatly ignored Plaintiff's original ORA request, conducting no search and simply (and falsely) informing the County's Open Records Custodian that no responsive records existed.'

The DA's office claimed it did "not have the responsive records."

"This response was perplexing and eventually suspicious to [Judicial Watch], given that Plaintiff subsequently uncovered through own effort at least one document that should have been in the District Attorney's Office's possession that was patently responsive to the request," Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote.

In March 2024, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against Willis, arguing that she had "falsely denied" having any related communications to its open records request.

The judge found that Willis' office repeatedly denied the existence of such records. However, in a later memo, her office "announced that there still were no records responsive to one set of Plaintiff's requests (communications with former Special Counsel Jack Smith) but that there were in fact records responsive to Plaintiff's second set of requests (communications with the United States House January 6th Committee) -- but those were exempt from disclosure."

McBurney stated that an open records request "is not hortatory; it is mandatory."

"Non-compliance has consequences," he wrote.

"Per her Records Custodian's own admission, the District Attorney's Office flatly ignored Plaintiff's original ORA request, conducting no search and simply (and falsely) informing the County's Open Records Custodian that no responsive records existed," McBurney continued. "We know now that that is simply incorrect: once pressed by a Court order, Defendant managed to identify responsive records, but has categorized them as exempt."

McBurney called the "late revelation" of the allegedly exempt communications "a patent violation" of Judicial Watch's open records request.

The judge ordered Willis to pay the organization's $21,578 in legal fees within two weeks.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton responded to the McBurney's decision.

"Fani Willis flouted the law, and the court is right to slam her and require, at a minimum, the payment of nearly $22,000 to Judicial Watch," Fitton said. "But in the end, Judicial Watch wants the full truth on what she was hiding – her office's political collusion with the Pelosi January 6 committee to 'get Trump.'"

The DA's office did not respond to a request for comment from the New York Post.

Willis and her office have faced several misconduct allegations over the past year.

In December, Willis was disqualified from the Georgia case against President-elect Donald Trump due to her affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Willis also faced an investigation into her office's alleged misuse of federal grants worth $488,000. According to a staff whistleblower, the funds, which were earmarked for establishing a youth gang prevention center, were spent on ineligible and unrelated expenses.

Georgia GOP banishes former lieutenant governor after Harris endorsement



A former lieutenant governor of Georgia has been formally banished from the state Republican Party after he endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

On Monday, party leaders announced that ex-Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan had been expelled by unanimous vote after his single term in office "was marred by embarrassment and scandal," including a series of alleged attempts to undermine fellow Republicans.

Duncan, who served as second in command from 2019 until 2023 and in the state House from 2013 until 2017, campaigned "as a Trump supporting conservative," the party resolution claimed. However, once he entered office, he "sought openly to undermine and sabotage" the candidacy of other Georgia Republicans, including current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and U.S. Senate nominee Herschel Walker.

Duncan also has a troubled history with the truth, the party indicated. He allegedly "falsely" implied that he had been endorsed by then-President Donald Trump. He also claimed "he graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology, played major league baseball as a member of the Miami Marlins and was a 'successful businessman.'"

'Geoff Duncan clearly decided to join with the Democratic Party, and particularly extreme elements of the Democratic Party.'

Duncan made no bones about his opposition to Trump in 2024. He not only endorsed President Joe Biden as well as Biden's replacement, Kamala Harris, but he also spoke at the DNC in August, calling on voters to "dump Trump."

Voters in Georgia and across the country did not heed his cries, and now that Trump is about to assume office once again, the Georgia GOP has officially cut ties with Duncan.

The resolution bars Duncan from all party property and events and prevents him running for office in Georgia as a Republican. It also expunges the previous endorsements he received from the party when he ran for the state House and for lieutenant governor.

"Geoff Duncan is no longer a Republican," Georgia GOP Chair Josh McKoon said in a statement to WSB-TV. "Geoff Duncan clearly decided to join with the Democratic Party, and particularly extreme elements of the Democratic Party."

The resolution demands that Duncan refrain from referring to himself as a Republican, and McKoon asked media outlets to characterize him as an "expelled Republican."

Duncan responded to the resolution to expel him by retweeting it, adding the message: "Hard to believe this is a good use of time for a party that’s only got a limited amount of time to figure out mass deportations, world peace and global tariffs. Learn how to take a victory lap not light another dumpster fire @JoshMcKoon."
