U.S. Law Enforcement Officer Pleads Guilty to Abuse of Bulgarian Wife.

AP released that a sheriff's deputy in Vista, whose Bulgarian wife claimed she was kept as a prisoner in their home pleaded guilty to abusing the woman. Bruce Hewett, 39, faces up to three years in prison when he's sentenced Sept. 3 on a felony charge of making a threat and a misdemeanor count of spousal abuse. He pleaded guilty Friday. As part of a plea agreement, a judge dismissed charges of rape, assault, false imprisonment and weapons violations. The 28-year-old woman told authorities that Hewett began abusing her shortly after they married and she came to the United States from Bulgaria. She said he wouldn't allow her to contact her family and prevented her from leaving the house except to work in his parent's house across the street. The deputy denied the allegations. He filed court papers seeking an annulment of the marriage, claiming he was tricked into marrying the woman so she could immigrate into the United States. Hewett had been placed on administrative leave by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department pending the outcome of the case.

I don't stop joking, but most people feel near tears, confesses the former switchman.
In Lovetch very few people know the real name of a short man with a cane, bowler hat and mustache that looks like a spitting image of great Charlie Chaplin. I'm Georgi Kamenov, but only my wife Tatiana calls me Gosho. All others know me as Charlie and so they call me, says Kamenov. As far back as he remembers himself everyone told him that he is an exact double of the great comedian. Some twenty years ago he himself started to believe that he is a "reincarnation" of Chaplin. He began to imitate his body language very well and even dressed like him. To me it's not difficult, I don't act, I live like his character, a poor man, one of the poor suffering people, says Kamenarov about his gift. He used to tour the country and acted at fairs or simply in the streets. Just for the fun of it, to make people happy.
