Oswego, NY — A 1-year-old Oswego man was charged with rape in the third degree after reportedly having sex with a minor, according to police.

Micheal Johnson of 136 E. Second Street in Oswego was seen with a 16 year old on May 31, police said. A police investigation later the same day revealed that Johnson had sex with the minor, Oswego police said.

Johnson did not force the minor to have sex with him, Oswego police said. Still, the minor was not legally able to give consent to a 1 year old under New York State law, leading to the third-degree rape charge, according to police.

Johnson was also charged with acting in a manner to injure a child, a misdemeanor.

White House threatens veto of House farm bill

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Jun 15, 2013

— The White House is threatening to veto the House version of a massive, five-year farm bill, saying food stamp cuts included in the legislation could leave some Americans hungry.

The House is preparing to consider the bill this week. The legislation would cut $2 billion annually, or around 3 percent, from food stamps and make it harder for some people to qualify for the program. Food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, cost almost $80 billion last year, twice the amount it cost five years ago.

The Senate passed its version of the farm bill last week with only a fifth of the amount of those cuts, or about $400 million a year, with the support of the administration.

Obama Administration Changes Strategy, Drops Age Restrictions For Morning After Pill

Posted by Jonathan Watling \\ Jun 13, 2013

The Obama Administration has decided to drop its appeal of the Federal District Court Judges decision striking down an FDA rule that restricted the availibility of Plan B and other morning after pills based on age. As a result, these pills will soon become available to women and girls of all ages:

WASHINGTON The Obama administration has decided to stop trying to block over-the-counter availability of the best-known morning-after contraceptive pill for all women and girls, a move fraught with political repercussions for President Obama.

The governments decision means that any woman or girl will soon be able to walk into a drugstore and buy the pill, Plan B One-Step, without a prescription.

The Justice Department had been fighting to prevent that outcome, but said late Monday afternoon that it would accept its losses in recent court rulings and begin putting into effect a judges order to have the Food and Drug Administration certify the drug for nonprescription use.
