Pennsylvania man accused of beheading father and posting video of his severed head to stand trial
A Pennsylvania man accused of killing his father and posting video of his severed head online — and calling for others to help him try to overthrow the U.S. government — is set to stand trial Monday in the Philadelphia suburbs. Justin D. Mohn, 33, faces charges of murder, abuse of a corpse, terrorism related crimes and other offenses for the 2024 killing of Michael F. Mohn at the Levittown home where they lived with the defendant's mother. She found her husband's body in a bathroom. Prosecutors have said Justin Mohn shot his father with a newly purchased pistol, then decapitated him with a kitchen knife and machete. The 14-minute YouTube video was live for several hours before it was removed. Mohn was armed with a handgun when arrested later that day after allegedly climbing a 20-foot (6-meter) fence at Fort Indiantown Gap, the state's National Guard headquarters. He had hoped to get the soldiers to 'mobilize the Pennsylvania National Guard to raise arms against the federal government,' Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said at a news conference last year. Mohn had a USB device containing photos of federal buildings and apparent instructions for making explosives when arrested, authorities have said. He also had expressed violent anti-government rhetoric in writings he published online, and the YouTube video included rants about the government, immigration and the border, fiscal policy, urban crime and the war in Ukraine. Mohn's defense attorney, Steven M. Jones, said last week he did not anticipate the case being resolved with a plea deal. Michael Mohn, who was 68, had been an engineer with the geoenvironmental section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In the video, Justin Mohn described his father as a 20-year federal employee and called him a traitor. During a competency hearing last year, a defense expert said Mohn wrote a letter to Russia's ambassador to the United States seeking a deal to give Mohn refuge and apologizing to President Vladimir Putin for claiming to be the czar of Russia.

Pennsylvania teacher and coach arrested for possessing child sexual abuse material, Bucks County DA says
A Catholic school teacher and coach was arrested Wednesday for allegedly possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material, Buck County officials announced. Richard Adamsky, 65, of Warminster, is charged with felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and criminal use of a communication facility, the Bucks County district attorney's office said in a statement. Adamsky was a teacher and coach at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School in Warminster, the DA's office said. He was a coach for various boys and girls sports teams in the county, including football and track and field. Richard Adamsky Bucks County DA Court documents reveal the Catholic school teacher admitted to saving hundreds of sexually explicit images of children over the last four to five years. In March, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children "reported possible downloading or obtaining" of child pornography. That IP address eventually led to Adamsky. Investigators with the Bucks County district attorney's office weren't notified until mid-May of the tip. Investigators executed search warrants at his Warminster home Wednesday. Court records show Adamsky was unable to post bail and remains at the county jail. "We know his reach is far when it comes to being in contact with children. At this juncture, we have no information to indicate hands-on perpetration of sexual offenses committed against children," Bucks County DA Jennifer Schorn said. "Now, that does not mean to suggest for any minute that we don't take the crimes that he's charged with very serious and very concerning." The investigation is ongoing, and the DA's office asks anyone with information to call Warminster Detective Stephen Wojciechowski at 215-672-1000. "Neither the school, nor the parish, nor the Archdiocese had any indication of alleged wrongdoing on Mr. Adamsky's part until being notified of his arrest earlier today," the Archdiocese of Philadelphia said in a statement. Adamsky is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case, and the archdiocese is cooperating with law enforcement, the statement said. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 4.
