TWO women have been arrested and charged with sex trafficking for their alleged roles in the disappearance of Emmarae Gervasi.

The 14-year-old was saved by her loving father a month after she disappeared from her home in a “Taken-style” kidnapping.

The number of suspects allegedly involved in the crime now totals seven after Emmarae got into a car outside her home on December 9.

Emmarae was only saved after her heroic dad Frank rescued her from a boat she was being held on in Islip, Long Island, New York.

Suffolk County cops charged Jacquelyn Comiskey, 52, and Elizabeth Hunter, 34, with sex trafficking and endangering the welfare of a child on Monday, according to the New York Post.

Comiskey is alleged to have transported Emmarae to Bunice Knight’s home in exchange for crack cocaine the day before she was found on the boat.

Comiskey claimed to be a loving grandmother on her Instagram page, according to Greater Long Island news.

Both pleaded not guilt to the charges when they appeared in front of a judge at Suffolk County First District Court.

Their bail was set at $750,000 each.

Knight, 47, of Copiague, New York, was arrested and charged a fortnight ago with endangering the welfare of a child.

Francis Buckheit, 65, was later arrested and charged with rape, kidnapping and acting in a manner injurous to a child in connection to the shocking case.

Both Knight and Buckheit have pleaded not guilty.

Frank reacted to the news of Knight’s arrest in a Facebook post saying: “What happens in the dark will come to the light as I said over and over again.”

Three other men have also been charged in the case.

Alton Harrell, 63, was arrested on Jan. 17, while Daniel Burke, 63, and Robert Eccleston, 63, were arrested on Jan. 24.

They were all charged with kidnapping, rape and endangering the welfare of a child but pleaded not guilty.

HERO DAD’S INVESTIGATION

Emmarae was last seen before her disappearance getting into a car outside her home in East Patchogue, Suffolk County, New York on December 9.

Frank revealed Emmarae had struggled with drug abuse in the past and was wearing a monitoring ankle bracelet at the time.

Emmarae was seen on security footage less than 24 hours after her shock disappearance knocking on doors and helplessly wandering around Bohemia, New York.

But she disappeared again.

Frank Gervasi launched his own investigation into the disappearance of his daughter in a “Taken-style” effort to save his daughter.

A court-ordered ankle monitor the teen was wearing was found cut off a block away from the home.

He said at the time: “I fear that she is being held against her will.

“I know she is with somebody and they are either convincing her to stay or won’t let her leave or worse she may be dead by now.

“The lady who gave me the tip was afraid to go in the boat.”

Frank desperately began to appeal for information about his daughter on social media as cops couldn’t find her.

A month later, an anonymous phone tip allowed Frank to stage the miraculous rescue before even the cops could reach Emmarae.

Frank found his daughter barefoot wearing no jacket and without a cell phone at the time.

He had no idea if she was alive.

Frank pulled off the miraculous rescue by following up his own leads.

Frank says Emmarae was sex-trafficked and plied with drugs by “unsavoury characters”.

He said: “She was not allowed to leave the boat unless she was escorted by somebody.

“So I do believe this is sex-trafficking, and it’s being looked into.”

Frank confirmed he arrived at the crime scene before the police, in a real-life Taken movie-style hunt , according to News 12.

In the blockbuster Hollywood movie, an American father tracks down and saves his daughter after she was kidnapped by criminals while on vacation in Paris.

After the rescue, Frank said: “It was 26 days of hell seeing her alive in my arms.

“It was a gift from God. I can’t describe the feeling I had when I grabbed her.”

RTE star Sinead Kennedy has stepped out in a vibrant smock dress live on air – and fans have all been left drooling over it.

The Today host was back on screens this week to present the hit chat show alongside Daithi O’Se.

Sinead took her style to another level as she appeared in the RTE studios wearing an edgy floral printed smock dress from Queens of Archive.

The fabulous frock had a dramatic silhouette with padded shoulders and a statement velvet bow hanging from the neck.

The sleeves were ballooned and cuffed at the bottom with silver buttons.

The Irish host oozed colour in the rosey red and baby pink floral pattern – miles away from the dreary Irish weather we’ve been having.

The unique Frankie Electric Mini Dress currently retails for €225 online – ideal for a spring wedding.

Sinead wore the smock dress with her favourite pair of black leather knee-high boots from Saint Laurent, which she claimed she “lives in”.

She finished off the trendy look with some mini silver hoop earrings and matching rings.

The popular presenter gushed over the designer dress in her caption as she wrote: “This dress is a few seasons old – Queens of Archive. Love the cuffs, big sleeves, big shoulder, the bow… I love everything about it really.”

Of course, fans and friends all ran to the comment section to swoon over the fantastic dress.

Ireland AM star Muireann O’Connell wrote: “Oh bebe.”

Niamh said: “I need this in my wardrobe IMMEDIATELY.”

Lizzy remarked: “You look like a rock star.”

Nina added: “Omg this is FABULOUS.”

While Anna wrote: “This dress is divine.”

And that’s not the only stylish look Sinead has sported on the show this month.

On Tuesday, Sinead was a vision as she sported a “stunning” look with sentimental value.

MUM’S WARDROBE

The mum-of-two looked sensational as she donned an oversized pinstripe denim coloured blazer.

She explained to fans in her caption that the blazer once belonged to her mum, before she gifted it to Sinead.

To tie her look together, Sinead popped on a pair of black leggings under her blazer.

Sinead wore a pair of her “fave” knee-high black boots that suited her look perfectly.

SO CHIC

She captioned her heartfelt fashion post: “This blazer was my mom’s which she kindly gave to me.

“It formed part of a chic trousers suit but I had a few buttons added to the jacket to enable me to wear it as a dress instead.”

“Thrilled with it and more for the fact that it came from my mom.
The boots are my fav.

WATCH the incredible moment a Porsche Taycan GTS sets a new Guinness World Record after drifting for 10 miles on an ice track at sub-zero temperatures.

Jens Richter, a Porsche Experience instructor, drifted in the German sports car for a whopping 46 minutes – making for the longest uninterrupted drift of an electric car on ice.

Mr Richter drifted for 17.5 kilometres, the equivalent of 10.8 miles, using only throttle and steering interventions.

The ice track, around 150 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, was crafted especially for the run.

The event took place on January 14 and exceeded the previous Very Sideways On Ice Record of 14.8km by a Mercedes.

Mr Richter began the afternoon under “extreme” conditions as “the ice track deteriorated faster than expected”, he says.

This resulted in the abortion of the first attempt after “11 kilometres”.

For the second attempt, Mr Richter switched to smaller spikes, at just one millimetre on both axles of the Taycan.

Then he waited for darkness to fall along with the temperatures to drop.

He later completed 132 laps around the ice track, maintaining overseer for three quarters of an hour before the ice began to deteriorate again.

The Taycan was fitted with a GPS system to measure the exact G-force and distance travelled during the drift.

As well as Mr Richter’s steering, acceleration and braking inputs.

Mr Richter commented on the event: “With our new Guinness World Records title on ice, the Taycan has once again proven its sideways driving qualities.

“And this time even with all-wheel drive.

“The fact that the Taycan GTS can be controlled so well even under extreme conditions speaks volumes for its excellent chassis and balanced performance.”

LOVE Island winner Jack Fincham has been FREED from jail after his out-of-control dog Elvis mauled a runner and attacked a woman.

The reality star, 32, was dragged to court after the hulking Cane Corso attacked Robert Sudell.

Fincham was today jailed for six weeks after he admitted being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.

It is understood he has now been freed on bail while he appeals the sentence.

His on-off girlfriend Chloe Brockett wept earlier as he was taken down to the cells, while Fincham gave a thumbs up.

Elvis first attacked runner Robert in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.

He then mauled an unnamed woman in Grays, Essex, in June 2024 but no harm was done.

Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time.

This was after Fincham was caught speeding down the hard shoulder in a BMW while on cocaine.

Ms Wade said this order would be activated in part, adding that “we find no reason not to do so” as she jailed the star.

Fincham was also ordered to pay £3,680 – including £200 compensation fee to Robert and a £50 compensation fee to the other victim.

A payment plan of £400-a-month will be set up upon his release from prison, Southend Magistrates’ Court heard.

JPs heard that Fincham failed to comply with three rules over the dog’s ownership following the first attack.

These included to always keep the dog on the lead, for the dog to wear a muzzle when outside and to not leave the animal alone with anyone under the age of 16.

The guidelines were set in September 2022 when Elvis bit runner Robert and Fincham took part in a dog ownership course.

But there was another incident in June 2024 when the animal lashed out at a woman – sinking its teeth into her leg.

The court was told Fincham would get Elvis back upon his jail release if the three stipulations are met.

Fincham has previously come under fire over his pet dog.

Fans have slammed the star over Elvis’ cropped ears, which is illegal in the UK.

He revealed last year that he had got the pooch from Russia and that it was imported by Protection Dogs WorldWide. 

The former pen salesman also owns Sandy, a bulldog he bought while he was dating and living with his ex Dani Dyer. 

Fincham appeared on the 2018 series of Love Island where he and Dani – daughter of actor Danny Dyer – scooped the top prize.

The couple split just 129 days after leaving the villa following a series of rows.

Dani broke the news to their followers in December 2018, saying: “She wrote: “Jack and I have sadly decided to part ways. It’s been an incredible six months and we will always have a place in our hearts for each other, but we’ve sadly come to the realisation that it’s not meant to be long term.

“We both plan to stay friends. I hope you’ll all understand. Love Dani x.”

Fincham has found himself on the wrong side of the law numerous times since 2021 when he was arrested for drink-driving.

He recently told The Sun how his 2023 conviction for speeding while high on cocaine was a wake up call and led him to sign up for Narcotics Anonymous.

The star added: “This has made me realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions.

“I was carrying on with the same lifestyle after the arrest, but now it’s hit home.

“I had no respect for myself and was selfish about others. I didn’t care what happened to me in the frame of my mind I was in.

“I wasn’t thinking about what harm I could do to myself or how I could hurt others.”
