Twist in ‘Taken-style kidnap’ of Emmarae Gervasi, 14, as 2 women including ‘loving grandma’ charged with sex trafficking
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.

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.

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.

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 Porsche break ANOTHER world record as iconic Taycan GTS drifts for 10 miles on ice track in sub-zero Finland
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.”
I’ve known Jack Fincham throughout his fall from Love Island fame – I hope this is the wake up call he needs
JACK Fincham once told me he manifested winning Love Island before he’d even auditioned for the show – and believed he was destined to be a TV star.
But today, Jack spent time behind bars after he was handed a six-week prison sentence for admitting being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog who attacked a runner and mauled a woman.
Jack Fincham fights another day after being let out on bail[/caption] Jack has been in trouble with the law in recent years[/caption]His dream of making a comeback now feels further away than ever, if not totally dead in the water, as he was freed on bail.
Amid the highs and lows of his Love Island fame, I always found Jack to be charming – despite his countless run-ins with the law.
When I broke the story about his secret stint in rehab after a drug relapse made him hit rock bottom, the 33-year-old spoke openly and honestly about the mistakes he’d made.
He had “fallen to pieces” after having “more money than he knew what to do with” – spending it on drink and class A drugs and taking at least 30 diazepam pills a day to cope with his crippling anxiety.
But Jack insisted he didn’t want people to feel sorry for him.
He knew it was completely his fault his behaviour had lost him thousands of pounds in paid work, that he was facing drug-driving charges and had been kicked off mega-money TV opportunities like Celebrity Ex on the Beach.
He also recognised that he had hurt the people he loved the most, like his mum and sister, and was running out of chances to make amends.
Jack told me: “I don’t want to be the one people describe as ‘he could have done so well, but he f***ed it up’. I want them to say ‘yeah he did f*** up but look what he’s done now’.
“I want to be a role model, not an embarrassment.”
He believed he deserved “better” than the path he’d gone down – but knew his addiction struggles could not only ruin his life, but end it prematurely too.
“I’ve got no choice. I either turn my life around or I’m dead,” he said.
I began to worry that the fun-loving Essex lad who was almost Danny Dyer’s son-in-law wouldn’t see 35.
So it saddened me that a year after saying this he was pulled over and charged with driving after taking cocaine while using a false number plate.
Again, he had risked killing himself and other people by driving under the influence of drugs – and dodged prison thanks to suspended sentences and community service.
However, his luck ran out when he recklessly failed to follow three rules over the ownership of his out-of-control Cane Corso dog Elvis after its first attack.
After a suspended sentence for speeding down the hard shoulder in a BMW while on cocaine, failing to keep Elvis on a lead or wearing a muzzle was what allowed the judge to throw the book at the Love Islander.
He was let out on bail hours later as he appeals the six-week jail sentence.
Reflecting on my past conversations with Jack, it’s clear he knew he had the world at his feet and he’d let himself down.
I hope this is the true wake up call Jack needs to finally get on the right track.
He was angry and frustrated – desperate to be able to control his addictive personality and better himself.
Mental health struggles have no doubt played a part in Jack’s downfall. He is proof that you can have everything, but end up with nothing if you make the wrong choices.
I hope this is the true wake up call Jack needs to finally get on the right track.
He may still yearn for the chance to be back on TV, but after his brief but powerful stint in prison, I hope he’s grateful for his freedom – and living to fight another day.
