A Georgia teacher at a Christian school is accused of grooming a teenage girl whom she coached on a travel softball team. Investigators claim the teacher continued private communications with the teenager even after the girl's mother intervened.

Katie Elizabeth McDevitt, 28, was arrested Oct. 15 and charged with felony grooming of a minor, according to WXIA-TV, which noted that the suspect was released from jail the following day on $7,500 bond.

'The accused had private communication channels with the victim even after intervention from the mother of the victim.'

McDevitt is a teacher at Loganville Christian Academy, but a search of the staff directory on the school's official website did not return McDevitt's name.

Police said McDevitt allegedly groomed the 15-year-old girl while coaching her on the Georgia Strike Softball team.

Loganville Christian Academy confirmed to WXIA that the alleged victim is not enrolled at the school.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by WXIA, police accused McDevitt of engaging in inappropriate conduct with the minor between Feb. 1 and Sept. 22, 2026.

A deputy with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office wrote in the affidavit that McDevitt coached the girl's travel softball team while working as a teacher at Loganville Christian Academy.

Police said McDevitt sent private messages to the teen girl with content that investigators determined was indicative of a romantic relationship.

"The accused had private communication channels with the victim even after intervention from the mother of the victim," the affidavit states.

The affidavit also says McDevitt created situations in which she and the teenager would be alone before and after practice in a hitting facility in an area outside surveillance camera range, WXIA reported.

During a forensic interview, the alleged victim described physical interactions with McDevitt that made her uncomfortable, according to the affidavit.

McDevitt's attorney, David Boyle, said his client "categorically denies these allegations and looks forward to defending herself in court."

"The arrest warrant is extremely vague and fails to identify the alleged victim or describe any sexual offense or attempted sexual conduct," Boyle added in the statement. "We believe the allegations are unfounded, and we intend to vigorously challenge them."

School officials noted that they were notified about the allegations and investigation around Sept. 24 — roughly three weeks before McDevitt's arrest.

Loganville Christian Academy said it immediately placed McDevitt on administrative leave and added: "Based on the information available to us at this time, we are not aware of any allegations involving students enrolled at Loganville Christian Academy."

Georgia Strike Softball released a statement to WXIA saying the Walton County Sheriff's Office notified the team about the accusations. McDevitt was removed from the organization on Sept. 25.

Georgia Strike Softball stated:

At no time after Strike was made aware of the investigation has Ms. McDevitt participated in any Strike activities or events.

Strike has continued to cooperate with the sheriff’s office since that time, including honoring their request not to release any of the limited information with which we were provided prior to Ms. McDevitt’s recent arrest on 10/15/2026.

Upon receiving information that a warrant for arrest had been issued and that sharing additional details would not adversely affect the investigation, we immediately met with our families.

Georgia Strike is committed to the safety and well-being of our players, and our focus is on them and their families at this time.

Those with information pertaining to this case or any additional potential victims are urged to contact the Walton County Sheriff's Office at 770-267-6557.

It seems like science fiction, but it's actually backed by frightening scientific evidence.

A viral post online showed Wi-Fi signals mimicking breathing patterns in a 3D model; but what was shown as a graphic is actually real and is only a small scope of what signals can track in the home.

'Breathing is enough to give you away.'

A post from an engineer claimed that "each breath slightly changes how Wi-Fi waves reflect off your chest" and effectively revealed that "breathing is enough to give you away" should bad actors want to know about your whereabouts.

The post, seen by nearly 2 million readers, said that these tiny changes in breathing rhythm are noticeable and match Wi-Fi signals in the same room.

Unfortunately for the consumer, these claims are corroborated by many reports — including those from the government — and are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what can be tracked using Wi-Fi signals.

In fact, the study of Wi-Fi-based tracking has been widely studied, and the results are frightening.

By simply monitoring how the signals are bouncing back, programs can detect human presence, whether a person is walking/standing/sitting, and, according to a report from Stork.ai, even detect movement through walls in some conditions.

Blaze News has previously reported on how smart TVs and even HDMI cords can be used to pry into user privacy, and Wi-Fi can now be included with a vast list of capabilities that even extends to monitoring the amount of occupants in a room.

Moreover, a report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology — a federal entity — made this an open secret in a 2022 report when it positioned it as a good thing that could "help doctors fight the COVID-19 pandemic."

In a report titled "Wi-Fi Could Help Identify When You're Struggling to Breathe," the NIST said it could detect breathing rates, breathing patterns, slow breathing, or other disruptions with "already available Wi-Fi routers and devices."

Heartbeats are also not off the table according to Taiwanese researchers.

Dr. Tzi-cker Chiueh, from a power management company called Delta, found in his research that breathing rates can be monitored through Wi-Fi signal disruptions with up to 95% accuracy at up to five meters. Heartbeats were tracked at 83% accuracy from up to one meter away.

Readers may recognize similar technology being utilized by the CIA to locate a stranded pilot in Iran.

Studies and reports appear to prove that Wi-Fi signals can be effectively used as distance-measuring devices that can also digitize and measure human function through the analysis of the constant burst of signals and any consistent pattern of disruption.

Two Bulgarian immigrants to Scotland have been sentenced for assaulting young girls last year after a judge said one of them made sexual remarks to the children.

The man, Ilia Belov, called his sister at the time of the incident, who "immediately" attacked one of the girls upon arrival.

'F**king creep and an immigrant.'

In what became known as the Scottish axe girl story, video of the incident taken by Belov showed a scared and angry young Scottish girl wielding a small axe and a knife to fend off what she said were her attackers.

Though the Bulgarian denied that he threatened the girls or made inappropriate remarks to them, a Scottish judge struck down his testimony as "wholly unconvincing and self-serving."

Blaze News reported that the judge said Belov made sexual remarks to the children and both he and his sister committed assault.

One of the girls, completely vindicated, had called Belov a "f**king creep and an immigrant" and said, "He kept saying, 'Come here, sexy. I will show you how to have a good time.'"

Earlier this month, Belov, 23, was sentenced for assaulting the then-12-year-old and behaving in a "threatening or abusive manner" toward four other young girls.

Belov received 18 months of supervision and 300 hours of unpaid work and was placed on the sex offender registry for 18 months, according to the Daily Mail.

Belov's sister, 20-year-old Nadjedzha Belova, pled guilty to assaulting a 13-year-old girl during the same incident and was given 180 hours of unpaid work as punishment.

Both are now appealing their sentences, the Daily Record reported.

Belov's lawyer, Larry Flynn, told BBC Scotland that he was appealing the sex offender registration only, not the supervision or community service.

Belov denied making sexual remarks to the girls, but the Scottish judge, Timothy Niven-Smith, convicted Belov after seeing what was described as "proof beyond reasonable doubt."

The judge said the girls' response had been "eloquent" when considering what the man had said to them.

"The words of the children were eloquent to describe your behavior given your age and their respective ages," the judge stated. "Having made the sexual remarks to the children, you then, enraged by the fact that they became angry and started shouting abuse at you, followed them."

Images have since surfaced of the convicted parties at the time of the incident. One shows Belov standing with one hand on his hip as he filmed the young girls with his cell phone.

Another image shows the Bulgarian brother and sister "accosting" the children.

The images come from a CCTV camera positioned across the street.

Belov had originally said he was acting in self-defense.

The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit to block certification of the Senate race in Alaska if Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, loses the contest while another candidate with the same name is on the ballot.

Some Republican-held seats now shift toward Democrats

The color revolutions that have destabilized nations abroad may have finally made their way to American soil.

In the wake of President Donald Trump's re-election in 2024, there was chatter about former State Department officials, federal bureaucrats, and U.S. Agency for International Development alumni thumping the CIA's Simple Sabotage Field Manual and apparently plotting to undermine the new administration.

'This country is in a cold civil war, but this kind of talk makes me think they don't want it to remain cold.'

Damning documents, audio recordings, and videos obtained by DataRepublican suggest that such subversives haven't given up their ambitions and may seek to orchestrate unrest and regime change in the coming weeks.

DataRepublican, the Utah software engineer who briefly worked for the Department of War and helped Elon Musk identify waste when the Department of Government Efficiency was in its heyday, has carefully mapped the Democratic Socialists of America network and analyzed its ties to other leftist organizations, showing her work in a political tracking database called DSA Explorer.

Through analyzing the movements and communications of DSA members and similarly minded radicals, DataRepublican has come across evidence of an accelerationist plot involving alumni from the now-defunct USAID and stratagems employed in color revolutions overseas.

Color revolutions — such as the 2003 Rose Revolution in Georgia, the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and the 2005 Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan — are political upheavals aimed at toppling supposedly illegitimate or tyrannical regimes and replacing them with supposedly liberal democratic regimes.

In many cases, color revolutionaries overseas were afforded help and/or direction by Western state actors and nongovernmental organizations.

The alleged plotters identified by DataRepublican appear intent on using those same tactics in America to delegitimize the Trump administration after the midterm elections and potentially shift perceived authority to Democratic governors.

"You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits," DataRepublican wrote on Sunday.

"What you not have heard is ... there is an operational plan to put it all into action," continued the analyst.

In the event of a blue wave in the midterms, DataRepublican suggested that the DSA will "become 'foot soldiers' in constant clashes with the administration."

These foot soldiers have an important role to play, she claims: escalating unrest to the point where the government will feel obliged to cross what liberals are now being brainwashed into regarding as a uncrossable "red line" — such as the use of the Insurrection Act.

'We can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform.'

"Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors," continued DataRepublican.

This chaos will effectively make the 2028 presidential election a referendum on whether "to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a 'young and brown' demographic," said DataRepublican.

In one of the audio recordings that DataRepublican has published — allegedly from a call held in August among persons linked to the NGO Renew American Democracy — USAID alumna Danielle Reiff can be heard identifying one potential path forward where:

we end up in a very acute legitimacy crisis sometime in the next few months or the next few years where literally, our federal government becomes illegitimate. And in that moment, I believe, and what we know from experiences around the world, is that we can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment.

DataRepublican also published video from a call dated Sept. 8 where Reiff — who co-founded Renew American Democracy as well as the Renew to Thrive initiative — identifies three "crisis scenarios or democratic emergencies that we think that people should be aware of and preparing for": "an election meltdown scenario"; "potential militarization, the Insurrection Act"; and "an acute democratic crisis" that serves to delegitimize the federal government.

Reiff noted that she and her team have been thinking a great deal about the third scenario and discussing:

how can cross-partisan political leaders come together to think about provisional or transitional leadership for the country in case the federal government becomes illegitimate. Is there a cross-partisan group of governors that could step up and say, "You know, in the interim, we're just going to keep things going." Past presidents could — former President Bush and Obama — could they come together and say, you know, help us through a difficult situation like that.

Reiff did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment by deadline.

DataRepublican has highlighted the intellectual influence of Erica Chenoweth's "3.5% rule" on the apparent delegitimization conversations underway.

Chenoweth, who declined to comment, is a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, where she directs the Nonviolent Action Lab — touted as "an innovation hub that uses social science tools and evidence to support movement-led political transformation."

According to Chenoweth — who has written extensively on color revolutions, political violence, and mass movements and had some of her work backed by USAID — "no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it during a peak event."

Chenoweth suggested in a 2020 discussion paper that if a movement can mobilize 3.5% of a country's population, which would be around 12 million people in America today:

there are likely much larger proportions of the population that sympathize with and support the movement. Over time, such sympathy and support can translate into growing political pressure for the incumbent to leave office — even in autocracies — as has happened in scores of cases in the postwar period.

DataRepublican told Blaze News that "everyday Americans must be alert that thousands of NGOs are on the sidelines and prepared to take to the streets should President Trump cross an alleged red line."

She noted further that Americans "should be wary of attempts to condition them for the potential coming legitimacy crisis — there will be increasing frequency of reporting on how Trump will militarize voting or send troops into states, as Senator Slotkin has been doing."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), a former CIA analyst and one of the Democrats who urged the military last year to "refuse" allegedly illegal orders from the Trump administration, recently joined the liberal media in suggesting that President Donald Trump might use a national security crisis — or the illusion of one — to impose martial law.

In her recent remarks, Slotkin characterized Trump as a corrupt "authoritarian" who is unwilling to lawfully cede power, and cited the president's efforts to secure American elections and prevent voter fraud as signs that something nefarious is afoot.

"We have to be prepared for the president to take even more aggressive action to losing in the next 34 days," said Slotkin. "The authoritarian playbook is very clear: When you're at risk of losing, you either, a) make up a threat that only you can protect the American people from, or b) find a way for federal law enforcement or the military to seize ballots or voting machines."

Slotkin also preemptively cast doubt on the legitimacy of future federal law enforcement efforts around the time of the elections, stating that Americans should "not let him get away with that."

DataRepublican believes that "Slotkin and others are engaging in classical pre-conditioning for a reason" — effectively coaching the public to regard any federal law enforcement action around the time of the election as illegitimate.

Slotkin did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Slotkin is not the only one publicly whipping up radicals about the Trump administration, even as roughly one-third of Democrats approve of assassinating the president.

Egged on in part by Trump's cryptic response in August when asked about declaring a national emergency for elections, other Democrats and some liberal activist groups have similarly fearmongered about the possibility of undemocratic and "potentially impeachable" actions around Election Day.

Speaking broadly of the delegitimization efforts underway, DataRepublican told Blaze News that plotters "have successfully framed Trump's few tools to deal with internal unrest as a 'red line,' and they can mobilize on the snap of fingers. President Trump is in a double bind here that isn't easy to break through."

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News, "What DataRepublican found is shocking but not surprising."

"The left is clearly on a mission to fundamentally overthrow the constitutional order in America. I don't know how much evidence the government needs to see to finally do something about it," continued Howell. "They have street armies that have obstructed and embarrassed federal law enforcement, they have an ascendant socialist wing openly talking about ending our system of government, and now they're talking about declaring the American government illegitimate?"

"This country is in a cold civil war, but this kind of talk makes me think they don't want it to remain cold," added Howell.

The White House did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

DataRepublican told Blaze News that Americans should "pray for the administration to handle challenging scenarios, such as rioting or defiance of orders, with wisdom and courage."
