    SPRINGFIELD, OH – Springfield Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, as 28-year-old Iesha Givens. The incident took place in the 100 block of East Cecil Street, between Fountain Avenue and Limestone Street, prompting a swift response from law enforcement around 3:45 p.m.

    Officers arrived at the scene to find Givens in the living room of a residence, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The Springfield Police Division, assisted by the Wittenberg Police Division, secured the area and initiated an investigation.

    According to court documents, including a probable cause affidavit filed in Clark County Municipal Court, the suspect, 28-year-old Marcus J. Hasan, called 911 prior to the shooting. During the call, an argument could be heard escalating between Hasan and a woman he later identified as his girlfriend, Givens. The affidavit details that the dispute turned violent, with Hasan allegedly firing multiple shots from a Taurus .38 special revolver. In a second 911 call, Hasan told dispatchers, “I had to shoot my girlfriend because she kept trying to attack me,” claiming she had hit him repeatedly and that he had attempted to leave the situation.

    Hasan was detained at the scene and has been charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and one count of domestic violence. He was arraigned on Thursday, July 24, 2025, and remains in custody at the Clark County Jail. Court records also note that Hasan’s young daughter was present at the home during the incident, and Hasan allegedly stated that Givens was the mother of his deceased daughter and lived with him.

    The Springfield community is reeling from the loss of Iesha Givens, whose life was tragically cut short in what authorities describe as a domestic-related dispute. The investigation remains ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to contact the Springfield Police Division at 937-324-7716.

    Briton Scott West Sentenced to 42 Years in U.S. Prison for Orchestrating International Child Exploitation Ring WASHINGTON, D.C. – June 28, 2025 — In a landmark case that sent shockwaves across both the United States and the United Kingdom, Scott West, a 40-year-old man from Salford, England, has been sentenced to 42 years in a U.S. federal prison after being convicted of masterminding a global child sexual exploitation operation. The sentence follows a sweeping investigation that uncovered an extensive and disturbing scheme of online abuse targeting underage boys on both sides of the Atlantic. A Calculated Predator Operating Across Borders West was found guilty of running a sophisticated online network of deception, in which he and an accomplice posed as young women on social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and encrypted messaging services. These fake identities were used to manipulate and coerce young male victims into sending sexually explicit material under the threat of exposure. According to court documents, West often preyed on the insecurities of teenage boys, establishing trust before escalating into psychological blackmail. He would threaten to share the victims’ private conversations and images unless they continued to comply with his demands — a tactic that led to months of silent torment for some. Joint International Investigation and Extradition The case against West was built through a collaborative investigation by the U.S. Secret Service and Greater Manchester Police, with assistance from cybercrime units and child protection specialists. The trail of digital evidence—recovered through painstaking forensic analysis—revealed dozens of victims across multiple jurisdictions. West was extradited to the United States to face charges after evidence tied his actions directly to victims within U.S. borders. His extradition and subsequent conviction underscore the importance of international legal cooperation in addressing the growing threat of cross-border cyber-enabled child exploitation. Employment and Background At the time of his arrest, West was working as a part-time website developer for GoChurch Global, a Christian charity headquartered in the UK. Although his position did not involve direct interaction with children or vulnerable individuals, the organization acted swiftly, suspending him and distancing itself from his actions. Investigators confirmed that there was no evidence connecting his criminal behavior to his employment. Statements from Authorities Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Seberger, who led the prosecution, spoke candidly in court: “Scott West manipulated and preyed upon children on two continents in his quest to fulfill his own sexual desires. This extradition and sentence ensured that his American victims received justice in the United States for his crimes.” She also praised the courage of the victims who came forward despite the emotional toll, and commended law enforcement for their tireless pursuit of justice. Michael Kurzeja, Resident Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Springfield office, emphasized the larger implications of the case: “Adults should protect children, not prey upon them online. This case is a stark reminder of the dangers lurking behind digital screens and the vital need for vigilance.” Impact and Wider Response The West case has reignited public concern over online safety, particularly involving minors. Advocacy groups are calling for enhanced protections on social media platforms, better parental education, and internationally standardized digital child protection laws. Experts warn that the methods employed by West are becoming more common, as predators increasingly leverage technology to hide behind anonymity and avoid law enforcement. His sentencing has been held up as a powerful example of what coordinated efforts between countries can achieve in the fight against child sexual abuse. Justice Served, But Challenges Remain The 42-year sentence marks one of the most significant convictions involving a foreign national in a U.S.-led child exploitation case. For the victims, it provides a measure of closure — but the psychological impact will be long-lasting. Scott West will spend the rest of his life behind bars, but his case serves as a stark reminder of how easily online spaces can be turned into hunting grounds for predators — and how vital it is to stay vigilant, informed, and proactive in protecting children from digital harm. ⸻ If you or someone you know is a victim of online exploitation, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or your local authorities immediately. #ScottWest #ChildProtection #OnlineSafety #JusticeServed #CyberCrime #USUKCooperation #OnlinePredators #DigitalSafety #ChildExploitation
