Caitlin Clark has sweet birthday message for boyfriend Connor McCaffery after Fever beat Wings
Caitlin Clark wasn't only celebrating a Fever win Sunday. Following a solid performance against the Wings, Clark posted a sweet birthday message for her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, to her 3.5 million followers on Instagram. 'Happy happy happy birthday con,' Clark captioned her post. 'You make everyday better and I couldn't be more grateful. may this be the best year yet , I love you.' Her words accompanied three photos of the couple and a shot of McCaffery playing board games with Clark. The couple has been together for more than two years now, dating back to their time at Iowa University. 4 Connor McCaffery and Caitlin Clark @CaitlinClark/Instagram 4 Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery pose for a picture, which was included in Clark's birthday post for McCaffery. While Clark starred for the Hawkeyes women's basketball team, McCaffery started 89 games across a six-year career on the men's side, playing under the tutelage of his father, Fran. McCaffery averaged 4.5 points per game across 166 career games at Iowa. 4 Connor McCaffery spent six seasons with Iowa and started in more than half of his career games. AP McCaffery has since landed a role with Butler men's basketball as an assistant coach, perfectly keeping him in Indianapolis alongside Clark. The two are each openly supportive of one another, and Clark even extended that support to the entire Butler team as she recently gifted the entire squad some pairs of her latest player-edition model of the Nike Kobe 5. Clark had just helped lead Indiana to a win over Dallas before making her heartwarming post for McCaffery. She posted 14 points while dishing out 13 assists and nabbing five steals in the Fever's 102-83 win over the Paige Bueckers-led Wings. Clark has struggled a bit in her sophomore season in the WNBA, both with her play and a nagging groin injury. 4 Caitlin Clark's double-double Sunday helped lead the Fever to their second straight win. AP She's currently averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game on just 37.6 percent shooting from the field and 28.9 percent from three-point range. But the win Sunday marked the Fever's second in a row as they currently sit at 11-10, the sixth-best mark in the WNBA.

2 former Butler basketball players sign contracts with NBA teams
Former Butler basketball players Jahmyl Telfort and Patrick McCaffery signed undrafted free agent deals with NBA teams. They didn't hear their names called during the 2025 NBA Draft, but former Butler basketball players Jahmyl Telfort and Patrick McCaffery will both have chances to catch on with NBA teams. Telfort signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, Life Sports Agency announced. Butler announced that McCaffery signed with the Sacramento Kings. Telfort led Butler in scoring at 16 points per game last season to go along with 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. McCaffery emerged as a 3-point marksman during his lone season with the Bulldogs. Patrick, the son of longtime Iowa coach and current Penn coach Fran McCaffery, led Butler with 77 made 3-pointers. He averaged 11.2 points per game and shot 41.6% from 3. Telfort has an NBA frame at 6 foot 7, 225 pounds. He's not the most explosive athlete, but he's a savvy player with the strength to get to his spots on the court. McCaffery began his career as a slasher looking to get downhill. At 6-9, his transition to a perimeter shooter should serve him well at the next level. The Clippers begin Summer League play July 11 in Las Vegas. The Kings will be playing in the California Classic Summer League starting July in Sacramento. The Kings will be hosting the San Antonio Spurs, Charlotte Hornets, and Chinese National Team.

Court escorts for prisoners at risk due to overcrowding, Irish prisons boss warns
THERE IS A real risk that the Irish Prison Service will not be able to transport all prisoners for court hearings, as overcrowding is putting pressure on staff to meet their escort abilities. Director General of the Irish Prison Service Caron McCaffrey warned the Department of Justice in a letter last year that the system is at 'tipping point' in respect of its ability to carry out escorts to court and maintain safe staffing standards inside its facilities. Her letter told the Department: 'Current levels of overcrowding are exacerbated by resource constraints due to ever-increasing demands for escorts.' The Journal has previously reported that record-high levels of overcrowding inside Ireland's prisons are increasing the risk of violence , seeing incarcerated people sleeping on the floor and creating a difficult working environment for staff . Speaking to journalists last month, McCaffrey said she hopes that new ankle monitoring technology will assist the service in reducing the number of people in prison who are on remand, awaiting trial, which amounts to roughly 20% of the population. The short-term remedy is also being met with additional funding to increase the number of beds that can be made available in the existing system , the department of justice has previously said. In her letter, the head of the prison system said she had 'grave concerns' around the safety of staff and prisoners, because of dire overcrowding in jails. Concerns around the length of time court escorts take, and frequency of them, were highlighted by staff at a recent Prison Officer Association conference in Galway last month. Recruitment for the Prison Service Escort Corp, which transports officers and prisoners to court and other prisons, has been a particular issue in recent years as resources become stretched. Advertisement There were 4,960 prisoners in custody at the time of McCaffery's letter, in May 2024, in which she said the Irish prison system was 'not in a position to absorb the inevitable increase in committals safely'. Since then, the number of people in custody has risen to as high as 5,400. McCaffery said the appointment of additional judges has contributed to the increases in prisoner population and court escorts. 'Undoubtedly, a large element of the current overcrowding crisis is directly related to the appointment of additional judges,' the letter said. '[This led to] the scheduling of over 600 extra court sittings this year, decisions taken when our prisons were already overcapacity and not in a position to absorb the inevitable increase in committals safely.' McCaffrey's letter was addressed to one of the most senior officials in the Department of Justice, but has only now been released following an appeal to the Information Commissioner under Freedom of Information laws. Months before the letter was sent, The Journal reported how the Irish Prison Service was using temporary release measures, when people in custody are let out periodically under strict conditions, to alleviate the system from increased levels of overcrowding . The use of the temporary release scheme is approved on a case-by-case basis. It is understood that every suitable candidate for the measure in the system has already been approved. McCaffery told the department in May 2024 that she wanted an urgent decision on new rules around who could and could not be given temporary release. She wrote: 'In the absence of an urgent decision [on temporary release measures], I need to advise you that I now have grave concerns in relation to the ability of this service to ensure the safety of both those who work and live in our prisons.' She said there had been a sharp increase in temporary release to relieve pressure, but that all the main prisons were well above operational capacity.

L.I. teacher accused of posing as teen to solicit nude photos of underage girls
A former Long Island high school teacher who allegedly posed as a teen to solicit explicit images from underage girls has been indicted for promoting a sexual performance by a child and related charges, officials said Thursday. Ryan McCaffery, a former social studies teacher at Riverhead High School, was arrested May 12 by New York State Police following a months-long investigation. The 37-year-old Ridge resident is accused of using a fake Snapchat name to communicate with 'female children,' according to the Suffolk County district attorney. A multi-agency investigation began in Suffolk County last fall when detectives received a tip about an individual who'd allegedly shared child sexual abuse material on the messaging app Kik. Earlier this year, police executed a search warrant at McCaffery's home and recovered several electronic devices. A forensic analysis of those devices revealed the defendant had allegedly been communicating with 'multiple underage girls' while posing as a teenager on Snapchat. According to prosecutors, he sent images of his exposed genitals to the victims and requested nude photos in return. Authorities said McCaffery had also been investigated in Bergen County, N.J., after parents reported their daughters had experienced similar things on Snapchat. An investigation determined McCaffery had 'requested nude photos and engaged in sexual acts while video chatting' with victims under the age of 13. He was taken into custody in New Jersey on Feb. 14 and charged with sexual assault, child endangerment and lewdness. The case, which is not related to McCaffery's case in Suffolk County, is still pending. McCaffery was arraigned on Wednesday for the charges in New York, including multiple counts of attempted use of a child in a sexual performance and disseminating indecent material to minors. His bail was set at $100,000 cash, $400,000 bond, or a $1 million partially secured bond. He's due back in court July 17.

Former Teacher Posed As Teen On Snapchat, Had Explicit Chats With Minors
A former New York school teacher was arrested on Monday for allegedly posing as a teenager and extorting sexually explicit photographs from minors, police said. Ryan J McCaffery, who earlier taught at the Riverhead High School teacher, is accused of three counts of disseminating indecent material to minors, three counts of attempted use of a child - under 17 years of age - in a sexual performance and three counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17. Apart from that, the 37-year-old also faces charges of promoting a sexual performance by a child under 17 and possession of a sexual performance by a child. McCaffery has pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges, police said in a statement. In January 2025, the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations (NYSP BCI) in Riverside and the Troop L Computer Crime Unit (CCU) carried out a search warrant at McCaffery's NY residence. The raid occurred after the Internet Crime Against Children (ICAC) received a cyber tip. The police seized several electronic devices from his residence. Post the search, McCaffery was interviewed, arrested and charged on February 14, 2025, with two counts of second-degree sexual assault, two counts of third-degree child endangerment, and two counts of fourth-degree lewdness in Bergen County, police said. The charges were framed after McCaffery's online conversations with juvenile victims under the age of 13 came to light. He used the Snapchat account C_chambers77 to ask for these images. Following a thorough investigation that lasted several months, McCaffery turned himself in to the New York State Police in Riverside, New York, where he was taken into custody and prosecuted. McCaffery was transported to Suffolk County First District Court for arraignment, the police said. The New York State Police and Suffolk County District Attorney's Office probe is still underway to determine if more victims existed.
