Former Diamondhead city councilman pleads guilty to sex crimes against minor
SUMMARY: Former Diamondhead city councilman, Alan Moran, aged 36, pleaded guilty to solicitation/exploitation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This follows an incident where Moran inappropriately approached a 17-year-old male employee during a work trip on February 14, 2022. The minor reported feeling uncomfortable after Moran encouraged sexual activity and tried to touch him. Moran, having purchased alcohol for the minor, was later apprehended by the teen's parents and police, leading to his arrest and charges. He is due for sentencing on February 16, with two charges dropped from the initial indictment.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi SAFER Act, aimed at restricting transgender individuals from accessing restrooms and locker rooms aligned with their gender identity, has failed. Sponsored by Republican Sen. Josh Harkins, the act was inspired by support from GOP lawmakers after an incident in an Alaska gym. It garnered national attention, supported by athletes like Paula Scanlan, and advocated for “safe spaces” for women. Despite this, Democratic opposition led to its demise before the legislative deadline, preventing it from reaching Gov. Tate Reeves. Mississippi has previously passed laws on gender-related issues, including bans on transgender athletes in women's sports and gender-affirming care for minors.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers let a proposed mobile sports betting bill, the Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act, expire without passage. Initially aimed at legalizing full mobile sports gambling with casino protections, it was amended by the House to partner with existing casinos. However, the Senate removed all new provisions, maintaining the current law prohibiting off-premises mobile sports betting. Despite Gaming Commissioner Jay McDaniel's support, noting potential revenue growth and appeal to neighboring states like Alabama, Mississippi remains without the amendment as 29 other U.S. states, including North Carolina, have adopted mobile sports betting with reported success.

SUMMARY: The New Orleans Pelicans, despite their best regular season record since 2007-08, suffered a first-round playoff elimination by the Oklahoma City Thunder due to Zion Williamson's injury. In Game 4, the Thunder sealed the series sweep with a 97-89 win, propelled by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-caliber performance, including a key fourth-quarter defensive rebound. Pelicans coach Willie Green expressed pride in his team's effort despite the loss. C.J. McCollum topped the Pelicans with 20 points, but their 3-point shooting was lacking. Williamson is expected to recover for the next season, while the Thunder advance to face either the Clippers or the Mavericks.
