Sacha Newley (left) claimed that his father Anthony (right with Joan Collins and Sacha in 1996) had a dark sexual proclivity which led to the bitter breakdown of his parents' marriage. It comes as the portraitist prepares to release a memoir focusing on his childhood, entitled Unaccompanied Minor, this week. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Sacha bluntly addressed long-circulated rumours about his father's sexual interests. 'He was a paedophile. My father was drawn to youthfulness,' He said. 'He thought innocence was an aphrodisiac. That was his sexual proclivity and it's a very dangerous, destructive thing.' (Inset: The Newley family pictured together in 1968)

Family members are pleading for a Brooklyn judge to show mercy on John J Gotti, 24 (top), the grandson of a notorious gangster who is being sentenced for his role in a 2012 car arson. His uncle, John A Gotti (bottom right), said his nephew's last name played a big role in him getting mixed up in trouble. His 75-year-old grandmother, Victoria (inset), expressed the 'fervent hope that I live long enough to see him come home again before I die'. His father, Peter, described his first-born son as 'a beacon of light and hope through our constant storms...' More than 20 relatives and friends (bottom left) wrote letters to Judge Allyne Ross who will be sentencing him, asking her to show mercy. In June, Gotti and Vincent Asaro pleaded guilty to torching a man’s car. Asaro, 83, ordered Gotti to firebomb the car in 2012 because he was angry at the victim after he was cut off while driving in Howard Beach. The young Gotti is already in prison serving an eight-year sentence for dealing drugs on the streets of Queens. He is the grandson of his late mobster John 'Teflon Don' Gotti, who died in prison in 2002 while serving a life-sentence for murder. 

These previously unseen colourised photos show the lengths which US soldiers went to during America's attempts to capture several Pacific Islands from the Japanese during the Second World War. The images were published today to mark the anniversary of the America's drive across the region, showing the successful assault and capture of the Tarawa Atoll in November 1943. Troops were photographed as they made their way through the ocean in full uniform heading to the shore, while another sees a group of soldiers taking cover behind a tank. One of the images, restored by colouriser Royston Leonard, shows the softer side of soldiers, with one crouching beside a tank to give a kitten a drink of water. Other images show American troops brandishing their rifles after capturing several Japanese prisoners. Royston, a 55-year-old electrician from Cardiff, said: 'These images show the moments in time when madness took over the world. 'Tarawa is the place that Marines learned the hard lessons that would help them later in the war.

George H.W. Bush (left in November 2017) became the longest-living president in US history on Saturday when he turned 93 years and 166 days old.

Marine Corps vet Johnny Bobbitt (pictured on GMA, right) said he's been 'overwhelmed' by the generosity of strangers after Kate McClure's (also on GMA, left) fundraising campaign smashed its initial $10,000 target. Donations currently stand at more than $360,000 as money continues to pour in to help Bobbitt get back on his feet. Bobbitt was reunited with McClure on Good Morning America on Sunday where he pledged to pay forward his donations to help others. 'That's how I got the money to start with, from other people,' he said. '[I have to] return the favor. I can't constantly take and not give back.' 'This money was given to help me. Why not help other people in similar situations or people that are actively helping other people in different situations?' he added. 'Everybody out there is facing some kind of struggle, so if I can touch their life, the way mine was touched, [it'd be] an amazing feeling,' Bobbitt said. 'I want to feel the feeling on the opposite end.'

Meanwhile a Krispey Kreme appeared to be offering diners nuts rather than their signature doughnuts (bottom right).

The unidentified child is swerving across fast-flowing traffic in the SUV cross country vehicle. At one point he speeds past a truck and a tanker lorry before trying to overtake when the fast lane is not clear. The video was posted by a Moscow-based father called Islam, who is believed to originally be from Dagestan. The child sits on the knee of a glamorous woman called Ariana, apparently his aunt. At some points she grabs the steering wheel with one hand, at others the young child drives unaided on the crowded ring road.
