Man Sentenced for Child Porn Distribution | Madison News

A 29-year-old man named Joshua Hole just received an 87-month federal prison sentence for distributing child pornography — and 15 years of supervised release after. He pleaded guilty in April 2026, but the case began in March 2025 when police in Toledo, Ohio, arrested a man planning to abuse two infants. Investigators discovered Hole had been exchanging horrific child abuse material with him via Telegram and even encouraged the trip. Charged in November 2025, Hole had been flagged back in 2019 by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children after someone reported his activity — but no charges followed then. The judge noted his refusal to change, the graphic nature of the content, and his online behavior. This case was part of the FBI and Stoughton Police’s Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide effort to combat online child exploitation.

Market Closes Early for Justice | Madison News

The Dane County Farmers’ Market shut down two hours early Saturday not for weather or shortages—but to make room for a protest demanding justice for Corey Ruiz. Vendors like Jonathan Dye of Mr. Dye’s Pies took a financial hit, packing up during peak hours, but stood behind the decision, saying accountability matters more than commerce. Protesters, including Reba Bergmann, aimed to disrupt normalcy and force Madison to reckon with the murder and police department’s lack of transparency. This moment of pause turned a bustling market into a powerful call for change. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Unity Picnic Amid Community Healing | Madison News

When tragedy strikes, communities find strength in unity—and this year’s Urban League Unity Picnic proved it. Just days after the shooting of Corey Ruiz, hundreds gathered for food, games, and local vendors, but the real power was in the resources offered: counseling, school support, and help for minority-owned businesses. Rooted in healing after Tony Robinson’s death in 2015, this annual event remains a vital space for connection, resilience, and rebuilding trust—one picnic at a time.
