A lawsuit filed yesterday alleges that a former Horry County, South Carolina detective threatened to keep a rape victim from seeing her children if she refused to participate in a "nude catfight" with another woman that would be filmed and shown to "a group of men in the area" who like to watch such things. Now former detective Allen Large was reprimanded after the woman originally reported his behavior to his department in May of last year. In June, he allegedly sexually assaulted her following a court date and was terminated from the force after that incident. Several months ago, Large was sued by another sexual assault victim for similar behavior. (Ian Cross & Connor McCue, WBMF via WBTV) 

It is still unclear what caused the disappearance of Egypt Air Flight 804, which officials believe has crashed somewhere off the Greek island of Karpathos. There were 66 people on the flight, including 56 passengers and 10 crew members. An Egyptian aviation official said the possibility of a terrorist attack is greater than that of mechanical failure, while a Russian security official is quoted as saying the crash "in all likelihood" was caused by a terrorist attack.
