Hand on her. It has a lifelong impact on her. It has not gone away. Reporter she stood silently next to the prosecutor. Curl gave them 150,000 back in the 1980s to keep quiet about the abuse. But curran said when she saw him coaching other young swimmers at olympic tryouts, she could no longer remain silent. Whether when you are 13, 14, 15, youre not in a voluntary relationship with someone that is 20 years, your senior, your coach. Thats not voluntary, its abuse. Reporter and he had been running one of the biggest swim clubs. But it changed its name to the capital swim club. The u. S. A. Swimming banned the elite coach for life. Prosecutors declined to say whether they think that he might have abused other young swimmers. But they encourage any victim to come forward no matter how old the allegations. There is no statute of maryland here. They are saving the words for the victim impact statement at their sentencing. In rockville, bruce leshan, wusa9. Now, that sentencing will come in may. He would face a lot more time behind bars. If he would have accused them today because the childhood abuse are much more tougher. New information tonight. A string of teenagers murdered. There were Court Hearings today for three of the five suspects arrested y. All of them charged in the connection of this young man. And he is one of six young People Killed in the last six months. Now the police say that they are close to closing another case. One of the most difficult. Scott broom with the latest on the september murder of markel ross. Im scott broom. It was here where they began to galvanize the epidemic of teen violence. And they are making progress in the Homicide Investigation and that we will have a significant announcement next week. I guess that i will come through some sort of closure, but it will not bring my son back. Reporter thats the mother here today. It is like im numb. Reporter who says that she is quietly reliving the horror of her sons tragedy. This is a memory case.

Reporter telling me that there is just two weeks after the murder here and that his younger brother was held up at gunpoint for only 2. And as he was walking home from mcdonalds, a shocking close call. For for a family that has already suffered way too much. In capital heights, scott broom, wusa9. Com. We have heard from a whole lot of you on the title wave of the teenage murders in Prince Georges County. Ill share some of your thoughts in the mail bag later on in our broadcast. But in money news tonight, the latest on the looming budget cuts are set to take effect. Workers are getting notices that they might be furloughed if the sequestration takes effect. They are still locked in the stalemate as to how to avoid the automatic bum cuts. There is a smarter way for them to do it. To reduce our deficit without harming our economy. But congress has to act. I mean for goodness sake, it was his proposal. It was his idea as he signed it into law and now he is going to tell us that oh, it is all our fault. Reporter a new poll shows that 40 of the americans believe that the budget cuts take effect here and that they cannot strike a deal. But it is a safe best bet. That 40 does not include many federal workers that will be facing those furloughs. Wusa9 started a petition asking if they should face that there if they end up furloughed. If you would like to weigh in, go to our website and look for the petition on the home page here. So far more than 800 people have signed on as they sent letters to their lawmakers about it. Well this is a story that has been captured headlines for many days now. Hackers linked to china breaking into the Cyber Systems and virtually every institution in town. Now, some Security Experts suggest that they might have gotten their hands on enough information to map out just how we exercise power in this town, even the outgoing defense secretary said that cyber terrorism is a huge emerging threat. Weve got the threat of cyber security, which is a real threat in our times. And that they can literally threaten to paralyze the country. And that is a real threat. It is something that weve got to be concerned about and because it is the weapon of the future. Joining me now to talk more about it, and that they are the director of cyber watch at Prince Georges County. And good to have you with us. According to the blogger, and i want to quote him. We are very close to being pulled in the first cyber war and right now the chinese, they appear to have the upper hand. Can that be true . I think that the bid will be overstated. But certainly the chinese have expressed a lot of concern in the military networks, the defense networks. Networks are Large Companies to go after the intellectual companies. Are they better than we are . We are certainly very good, but they are excellent and there are other countries that will do quite a bit of cyber options. If there was a cyber war, what would it look like . I go down the streets and the traffic lights dont work. What would happen . Certainly it could be taken off the power grid to go after the financial systems. And that it might be combined with some kind of an attack or a combination. Physical war with the cyber element. And ive got to wonder if they are thinking about that. Almost like the cold war where everybody would like to go as far as they can without igniting the Convention Award as we come to think of it and they want as many secrets as they can without making everyone so upset that Something Else has to happen. Yes, there is a similar element of the destruction that they could hack into the other country systems and their power grid will take that system down as well as they can. Yes. Thats an important point. Can you win a cyber war or is it win some lose some proposition in i guess it depends on what the objective is. Hmm. Okay. So we want to be injected into hacking into facebook or twitter. Well certainly you could do that. The advantage of that might be to steal source codes to use it to launch an attack against another system. So hack into facebook and from there hack into apple and from there hack into google, etc. , etc. Okay, casey obrian, thank you for your time. Folks in the midwest are getting hit with a massive winter storm. Well show you how that is looking out. Plus, not exactly a Winter Wonderland for one student. Up next a deadly new virus. Something called the corona virus and why they are getting more worried about it by this is dylan right here, this is dylan, and this is his big brother hayden. Dylans only five, but hes already been through two surgeries for brain tumors. And he just went through his second round of chemo. And this is their mother, dawn, who runs this loving and happy home. She too struggled with tumors. But that doesnt slow her down. Her love of family comes first. Their dad, phil, works two jobs, repairing copiers, and on weekends delivering newspapers. But the bills keep piling up, and the heating bill gets pushed off. When you learn about their difficulties, it just breaks your heart. When we asked the Biggest Oil Companies to help families in need, only citgo, the people of venezuela, and president hugo chavez responded. Thanks to them, Citizens Energy is able to deliver millions of gallons of fuel to families just like the berios. Im joe kennedy. If you need help staying warm, call me at 1877joe4oil. Because no one should be left out in the cold a deadly new fire is emerging here, as they are watching this one. Sitting down with the doctor to talk about it as he is here now. When you hear that the virus is a fatality rate, thats a little scary. Yes, absolutely. Heading up the National Institute of allergy and the scary viruses. They are his thing. Saying its the new corona virus. The new virus came from bats in the middle east. This past summer there are now 13 confirmed infections. Even though its in the same family as the other virus, remember that thing . It doesnt seem anywhere near as contagious. If it is efficiently spread, immediately you would see a lot of people getting sick. The doctors and nurses taking care of them. The most Vulnerable People here with the doctors and the nurses, the medical personnels taking care of them. No call for the alarms in the u. S. , but the doctors, they should be aware of it. Testing for this virus is paramount. This came from bats . How is it possible . Well start with the new virus and where it came from. They know what it is and they will start tracking, so it is not a huge number. But Amazing Technology to find it isolated. So what about the infected rates . There is a case with a traveler from the u. K. That would go to the middle east. They come back home to spread it to other family members. So absolutely, it is possible. But it does not seem rampant. Thousands of people were infected. Hundreds died. No, not rampant, which is a good thing. Thank you, anita brikman. You might want to bundle up if you are headed out tonight. The cold weather is waiting. Topper is here with a look at your weekend forecast. And also ahead, the story behind this rather odd sight. Its a monkey and he is riding a dog. For that storm system to dump a ton of road to the rockies, bringing along with the stuck cars and the slender benders. They found one group of student stranded at a Roadside Motel with their chaperon on their way to a wrestling meet. For them this is for them this is starting to feel anything, but a good time. Okay, the wrestling meet has now been postponed. However, they did find a wal mart open. Yes. You know, we mentioned this earlier. They had three inches of snow in one hour. And that has doubled our seasonal snowfall. Wow. Thats not much. It is very cool actually. And it runs through early march. The dew points will come up just a little bit. But its pretty dry. The winds are still northwest at 13 as they will settle down becoming northeasterly tonight. Okay, there is the storm. The same storm here. Yesterday it is causing tremendous snow into kansas and missouri and headed for chicago and parts of the midwest, the upper midwest. It is not going to be as strong, but four to six inches in chicago. And it looks like in wichita it will be in the top five. They are number one. Snow is only 15 inches. So it will probably be the top five. And one piece will duck and goes into the southeast. Then eventually becomes a noreaster in rolling up the coast on saturday night and sunday. Right now clear skies. The high clouds will be coming in late tonight and the temperatures will be falling quickly until they start moving in. 32 here in german town and fairfax and 32 in springfield. 34 in college park and 33 here in waldorf. So not quite as cold tonight. Everybody below freezing. Friday morning commute, its fine. Evening commute, not so much. Well probably have snow and sleet falling during the Early Morning part of your commute and more rain on friday with the second piece of energy. Here is our future cast. 6 00 in the morning with some clouds. Thats white. Okay . Well see some snow in blue. Back here for you and to advance to matt now. This is at 7 00. 7 30. 9 30, everybody is pretty much at work. And now you will see the snow breaking out northwest ward. All the way here. By 11 00, the snow is almost into leesburg on into Prince William county and fairfax county. Then by 1 00 most of this is snow covering most of the metro area as i agree with you. It will be snow at the onset. Then it moves northward, up into baltimore by 3 00. So it is not a good thing when you have snow on out here and youre trying to get home on friday. And this will be a mixture of the snow and the sleet down towards fredericksburg as that will be a mess here as well. This is at 5 00 as we still have a ton of pink, which is a mix between most of the metro area. So the slow going here tomorrow and a great storm, but slow going. So the 9 weather alert is in yellow with a little mix tomorrow. Rain and showers on saturday. Nice on sunday. Temperatures, they will be going back up to 50 the next seven days. Nice on monday too. Temperatures in the lower 50s. Another storm will be coming at us on tuesday, which could be another big storm in the midwest, which is good news for them as they will need the moisture. Then the later part of the week on wednesday and thursday, the snow flurries are possible on wednesday. Snow showers are possible as well with some signs here. And that we could be getting a little colder as we get into the month of march for maybe seven days or so. Any big storms on the horizon . Im looking. Im still looking. Okay, maybe youll find it. All right, well this one caught our attention today just because it is not something you see every day. Monkeys, riding the dogs. Its a race. Yes, it happened. This is a part of the stunt to promote the professional bull riding glass in indianapolis this weekend. They ended up winning the race down the hall of the tv station there. And so how did it actually work while the monkey trainer said it is just a whole lot of love. And maybe some pop tarts. Apparently thats what those monkey likes. Okay, go, dude, go. Yes. Oh yeah. I dont want to take it the wrong way. We want to hear what you think. Send your ideas to in the mail bag tonight, lots of response from our conversation yesterday. She made a fan out of big daddy in fair lake, virginia when she focused on family issues, driving the big issue on kidon kid violence where the focus needs to be on it had point. Many and most of the kids that create Violent Crimes are not raised properly. If these parents are held legally responsible for the criminal acts of their kids and face fines in jail time, then they may get off their sorry butts and do their jobs. Nothing wrong with tough love with your kids if that is what it takes. And similar sentiments from john in lorton, virginia. You should be ashame of yourself like that. It is rude and it is a quote. The same thing that will work here. The role models that they will need to reach out to the parents and the children in the community and to tell them to be ashamed of yourself. Growing up you would be amazed of the influence that you have to get that there and im thinking a lot of these trouble youngsters are ashamed of yourself. And maybe it is worth a try. In the meantime they call seeing them live here and in the unedited version a real treat. A lot of words about young people and their parenting. A lot of words about the violence here. And while they would try to revert that, but it is not adequate to replace the parenting should they go there. You know, honestly we know nothing about her use on guns, but i would be willing to bet that they didnt have too many of them out on the streets. Ill ask about it though. The next time they come back, maybe youll have a comment or a question. Mailbag wusa9. Com. And that is our broadcast. Ill be back with lesli and topper at 11 00. Well see you then. Have a great evening. Bye. A shocking hollywood divorce, josh brolin and diane lane call it quits. What e. T. Knows about what may have gone wrong. Im nancy odell. Im rob marciano.
