Nebraska man charged with enticement after teens beat him in vigilante sting

CRETE, Neb. (KOLN) — A Crete man was arrested after being assaulted in a vigilante sting by five juveniles posing as one 15-year-old boy.

Prosecutors charged 38-year-old Eh Kaw Kaw Taw with two counts of child enticement and one count of attempting to receive a sexually explicit image of a child.

An arrest affidavit shows that Kaw Taw was lured to a home in Milford on Nov. 23 by a supposed 15-year-old boy he’d met on a dating app. The “teen”, who was being played by five boys, solicited Kaw Taw to the home with promises of sex.

Authorities said Kaw Taw tried to get the teen to send him lewd photographs before agreeing to meet at the home in Milford. But when he got there, police said the teens held him in the home and beat him while recording the incident before chasing him back to his car.

Following the incident, the five teens were hit with a variety of felony and misdemeanor charges among terroristic threats, first-degree false imprisonment and assault. The charges came just a few days after the alleged assault was reported, but Kaw Taw wouldn’t be charged until Jan. 30.

An officer in Milford reached out to an officer in Crete on Nov. 24 to discuss the assault. Milford’s officer reviewed video and information from the teens’ phones and identified the man they’d lured as someone from Crete.

The police officer in Crete got ahold of the four phones and began investigating. Using a clip of the license plate spotted in the teens’ videos, as well as clothing seen in a profile picture, police said they were able to identify Kaw Taw as the man who’d been beaten.

They contacted Kaw Taw on Dec. 4 and conducted an interview. He told the officer it was, indeed, he who had been beaten by the teens on Nov. 23, according to an arrest affidavit.

Kaw Taw was later taken into custody and appeared for an arraignment on Feb. 4. His bond was set at 10% of $75,000 which was later posted on Feb. 7.

His next court hearing is set for Feb. 21.

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska

NioCorp announced Monday that it plans to start work on its critical minerals mine in southeast Nebraska.

The project, which the company is calling its mine portal project, will involve building a main entrance to the Elk Creek underground mine and will serve as the primary access point for personnel, equipment, and materials for the underground mining operations. It also will include excavating bedrock, drilling and blasting to establish the twin mine ramps, on-site access road construction, and construction of on-site supporting infrastructure.

The project, which will cost nearly $45 million, is set to get underway before the end of the month. It marks the first time Colorado-based NioCorp will actually start any significant work on the main mine, from which the company hopes to extract niobium, scandium, titanium and other minerals.

“Given the size of this excavation work, the portal project really marks the beginning of a major pre-construction activity at the Elk Creek Project site and is an important step toward preparing for underground development,” Scott Honan, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said in a release.

Mark A. Smith, Niocorp’s chairman and CEO, called the project, “a significant milestone.”

Niocorp has spent more than 15 years trying to develop the mine on land in Johnson County, about 65 miles southeast of Lincoln.

The company still needs to raise a significant amount of money to make the $1.2 billion mine a reality, though. In December, NioCorp said it had raised about $360 million, or a little more than a quarter of the total cost. It is still waiting for approval of a $780 million debt financing application from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
