Camden Man Charged with Human Trafficking, Prostitution, Crimes of Violence

Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) announced today that a Camden man has been charged with human trafficking, promoting prostitution, and acts of violence against two women whom he allegedly forced to commit commercial sex acts.

Keith B. Woodson, 40, of Camden, is charged by complaint with multiple counts of first-degree human trafficking, promoting prostitution, and aggravated assault.

“Human trafficking offenses are particularly egregious because they exploit vulnerable victims for financial gain,” said Attorney General Davenport. “We will continue to identify those responsible, support survivors, and prosecute offenders.”

From Recalls To Recourse: A Consumer’s Guide To Holding Companies Accountable When They Cause Harm

Every week, another company quietly pulls a product from shelves. A drug manufacturer adds a new warning label. A bank pays a fine. A car maker issues a recall. Most consumers see the headlines, shrug, and move on. The story sounds far away from their own lives.

It usually is not.

If you have been injured by a product, harmed by a medication, exposed in a data breach, or charged improperly by a financial company, you may have recourse you did not know existed. The system that converts corporate misconduct into actual compensation for the people affected is not advertised by the companies involved, for obvious reasons. But it is real, it is used by millions of Americans every year, and it does not require you to be a lawyer to navigate.

Corson and Rothwein Named IWLCA All-Americans

Rowan’s Elaina Corson and Madison Rothwein have been named to the 2026 IWLCA All-America Team, with Corson earning selection to the second team and Rothwein gaining a spot on the third team. It marks the second year in a row that the Profs have placed two players on the All-America squad. 

Corson (Hainesport, NJ/Rancocas Valley), a senior, is a repeat All-America Second Team selection, having earned the honor last year. The attack player closed out her career as one of the Profs’ finest. She is Rowan’s all-time leading scorer with 332 career points (273g, 59a) and tops the Profs’ list for goals with 273 in her four years. 

She recorded 81 goals this year, which led the NJAC and ranks eighth in the nation. She added 19 assists to total 100 points, which gives her 100-plus points in back-to-back seasons. Corson notched five game-winning goals on the year and had a high of nine goals in a win over Sewanee.

HOME COUNTRY: Ran into Doc down at The Mule Barn the other day…

    Ran into Doc down at The Mule Barn the other day, so naturally we had to rid the world of about a gallon of coffee and solve the world’s problems for an hour. It is the duty of all true Americans of our age, you know.

  Doc said he’d been aching a little bit lately. Joints or something. He’d been out fixing the pasture fence where the mare had been pushing on it. The next morning it made him walk funny.

  “I remember when my dad was my age,” he said. “I asked him how it felt to be this old. Well, he looked at me as though I were committing a crime by having brown hair, you know? And then he said, “To be this old? Well, I guess it beats the alternative.”

Philadelphia Police Report the Following Incidents

The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating a double shooting that occurred early March 25 in West Philadelphia, which appears to involve an exchange of gunfire between the two victims.

At approximately 12:07 a.m., 18th District officers responded to a report of a person with a gun and a shooting on the 6000 block of Sansom Street. Upon arrival, officers located a 22-year-old male suffering from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. Police immediately transported the victim to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. During the transport, the victim stated that three unidentified males had exited a dark-colored SUV, possibly a Ford, and opened fire on him, noting that two of the suspects were armed with handguns and the third with a rifle. The victim further informed officers that he utilized his legally owned firearm to shoot back at his attackers. Police have since recovered the victim’s weapon.

Letter to the Editor: NJ 4th in the nation for distracted driving and deaths

Hi William,

New Jersey ranks 4th in the nation for distracted driving in Zutobi’s newly released 2026 Distracted Driving Report — and recorded the largest single-year increase in distracted driving deaths of any state in the country.

In 2024, 221 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver in New Jersey — up 28.5% from 172 in 2023. 42% of all crashes in New Jersey involved a distracted driver, one of the highest shares in the nation.

What makes this particularly striking is the policy context. New Jersey has banned handheld cellphone use while driving since 2003 — one of the first states in the country to do so — and treats it as a primary offense, meaning police can pull drivers over for phone use alone. Despite over two decades of legislation and fines of up to $800 for repeat offenders, distracted driving deaths rose by nearly a third in a single year.

Anthony Construction Corp. JV have been awarded a $47.7 million contract for the Department’s first Design-Build project, the Route 50 Bridge over Cedar Swamp Creek replacement project, located in Upper Township, Cape May County.

“When I took office, I made clear that we were going to do things differently and deliver for the people of New Jersey. That means taking more efficient, innovative approaches to modernizing our aging infrastructure. The Route 50 Bridge project reflects that, by replacing this critical connection to Cape May County and key coastal evacuation route through New Jersey’s first-ever Design-Build approach. By combining design and construction into one streamlined process, we’re cutting delays, lowering costs, and delivering this long-overdue upgrade faster for New Jerseyans.”
