Another grooming arrest for Indianola man who had EMT license suspended
INDIANOLA, Iowa — An Indianola man already facing grooming charges has been arrested again on the same charge in a separate case.
Jeremy McCormick, 37, was arrested last week and charged with grooming, a Class D felony, following an investigation by the Indianola Police Department. He posted bond and is expected to be in court again on June 18th.
The complaint filed in the case said police were contacted in April by the alleged victim, who claimed McCormick had offered them drinks while they were underage and offered to take them to Victoria's Secret 'to get something sexy.'

The incidents happened during June and August of 2024, while the alleged victim was working for McCormick. The complaint said McCormick made the victim so uncomfortable that they stopped working for him.
In January, he was charged with two counts of grooming after the Warren County Sheriff's Office investigated incidents allegedly involving two teen girls, ages 15 and 16. Criminal complaints claim he took them on a shopping trip to eastern Iowa, bought them underwear at Victoria's Secret, and asked for pictures of the teens wearing the items.
Due to the charges, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services suspended his EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification.
McCormick's trial on the first two grooming charges is scheduled for October 9th, 2025.

18-year-old killed in shooting while stepdad was handling gun, UT officials say
An 18-year-old was fatally shot in the head at home, and now his stepfather is facing charges, Utah officials said. Joseph Le Page Lee, 46, is charged with second-degree felony manslaughter, plus four counts of misdemeanor reckless endangerment, in the shooting, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office said in a June 26 news release. Lee said it was an accidental shooting that happened after he'd gotten home from buying 'some firearm-related items' on June 17, according to prosecutors. His stepdaughter 'asked him a question about guns, and he picked up a Glock 19x,' prosecutors said, citing Lee's account to police. Lee said he had two similar Glocks and thought he was handling the one he'd just cleared, according to prosecutors. 'He told police that in his mind, the magazine was not there, and 'bam,' (his stepson) fell,' prosecutors said. Security video from the home captured the shooting, according to prosecutors. It showed that about four minutes passed between the shooting and when Lee started performing CPR as requested by 911, prosecutors said. Lee later said 'he didn't immediately render aid, because he knew (the 18-year-old) wouldn't come back from this and CPR was just standard procedure,' according to a court filing. Before Lee started CPR, he gave his stepson a blessing, the court filing said. The 18-year-old was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, the filing said. Prosecutors didn't disclose the stepson's name, but he's been identified in news reports as Haven McBride. An online obituary said McBride was working to become an EMT and 'was ready to submit his paperwork to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.' The 18-year-old 'was a genuine, kind, funny, friendly, thoughtful, sweet person' and ' will be missed deeply,' the obituary said. In the news release, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said 'owning a gun is a right in our country. However, that right does not absolve all of us from the responsibility in the way we handle such weapons. If you are a gun owner, please follow proper protocol when using them, especially when others are around.'

Aflac finds suspicious activity on U.S. network that may impact Social Security numbers, other data
Aflac says that it has identified suspicious activity on its network in the U.S. that may impact Social Security numbers and other personal information, calling the incident part of a cybercrime campaign against the insurance industry. The company said Friday that the intrusion was stopped within hours. "We continue to serve our customers as we respond to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service our customers as usual," Aflac said in a statement. The company said that it's in the early stages of a review of the incident, and so far is unable to determine the total number of affected individuals. Aflac Inc. said potentially impacted files contain claims information, health information, Social Security numbers, and other personal information, related to customers, beneficiaries, employees, agents, and other individuals in its U.S. business. The Columbus, Georgia, company said that it will offer free credit monitoring and identity theft protection and Medical Shield for 24 months to anyone that calls its call center. Cyberattacks against companies have been rampant for years, but a string of attacks on retail companies have raised awareness of the issue because the breaches can impact customers. United Natural Foods, a wholesale distributor that supplies Whole Foods and other grocers, said earlier this month that a breach of its systems was disrupting its ability to fulfill orders — leaving many stores without certain items. In the U.K., consumers could not order from the website of Marks & Spencer for more than six weeks — and found fewer in-store options after hackers targeted the British clothing, home goods and food retailer. A cyberattack on Co-op, a U.K. grocery chain, also led to empty shelves in some stores. A security breach detected by Victoria's Secret last month led the popular lingerie seller to shut down its U.S. shopping site for nearly four days, as well as to halt some in-store services. Victoria's Secret later disclosed that its corporate systems also were affected, too, causing the company to delay the release of its first quarter earnings. The North Face said that it discovered a "small-scale credential stuffing attack" on its website in April. The company reported that no credit card data was compromised and said the incident, which impacted 1,500 consumers, was "quickly contained." Adidas disclosed last month that an "unauthorized external party" obtained some data, which was mostly contact information, through a third-party customer service provider.
