A California man was found guilty of fatally stabbing his celebrity television attorney girlfriend with a “Rambo-style” hunting knife.
After three days of deliberation, a jury convicted 53-year-old Robert Reagan on second-degree murder charges Friday in the death of “Legal Diva” Loredana Nesci, KABC reported.
In 2014, the 47-year-old victim, also a former officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, starred in the Sundance TV reality show “Loredana, Esq.,” which documented her career as an attorney as well as her personal life.
The six-episode series featured footage of the couple renovating their home and arguing over bills as well as childcare expenses, according to Variety.

Officers on July 22, 2015, reported to the home Nesci and her boyfriend shared. They were responding to a 7:30 a.m. call from Reagan, who told them he’d been fighting with his girlfriend.
When first responders arrived, they found Nesci dead and booked Reagan on suspicion of murder — their 5-year-old son was not present at the time of her death, authorities said. Reagan had been free on bail since his 2015 arrest and was immediately taken into custody when the jury announced their guilty verdict, CBS LA reported.
His attorney, Shepard Kopp, contended during the trial that the television star’s death was accidental and only occurred after Nesci attacked Reagan with a knife during a domestic dispute. He argued Nesci was fatally wounded as they struggled for control of the knife.
When Reagan took the stand, he explained a fight between them escalated into a physical argument and culminated with her charging at him with the large weapon.

Los Angeles County prosecutor Allyson Ostrowski countered, telling jurors that Reagan “gutted” his girlfriend with a “Rambo-style” hunting knife. Nesci’s injuries were so severe her inside looked like “Swiss cheese” and she had an abdominal wound 7 inches long, according to the Daily Breeze.
“I think there was overwhelming evidence in the case and it was the right verdict,” Ostrowski told People. “I am very grateful for the jury and I am glad she can rest in peace.”
The 53-year-old is facing 16 years to life in prison and is slated to be sentenced Sept. 19.

A U.S. airman missing from his North Dakota base for 40 years has been found — leading a double life in Florida with a new name.
Jeffrey Michels failed to report for duty at Minot Air Force Base on July 6, 1977 and hadn’t been seen since, WFTV reported. He was recently found living in Seminole County with a wife and kids under the alias Jeffrey Lantz.
Investigators said he went by the name for years and used it in 1998 to get a license from the state of Florida for his construction business — Atlantic Development Corporation. Michels also used the fake name to buy a home in a Terra Bella neighborhood, according to the news station.
The 64-year-old Ohio native was arrested Thursday on charges of desertion and is in the custody of the United States Air Force.
Because there is no statute of limitations for the charge, Michels will stand trial in military court.
His photo in July was posted by the Facebook group “Veteran Doe” — a page aimed at bringing “attention to the many missing veteran/active duty cases and unidentified person cases where there is a possible military connection.”
The post was deleted when Michels was discovered, Fox News reported. It is unclear whether the Facebook post prompted the Air Force to investigate Michel’s disappearance.

More than 30 women come forward to accuse director James Toback of sexual harassment
Glenn WhippContact Reporter
He prowled the streets of Manhattan looking for attractive young women, usually in their early 20s, sometimes college students, on occasion a high schooler. He approached them in Central Park, standing in line at a bank or drug store or at a copy center while they worked on their resumes.
His opening line had a few variations. One went: “My name’s James Toback. I’m a movie director. Have you ever seen ‘Black and White’ or ‘Two Girls and a Guy’?”
Probably not. So he’d start to drop names. He had an Oscar nomination for writing the Warren Beatty movie, “Bugsy.” He directedRobert Downey, Jr., in three movies. The actor, Toback claimed, was a close friend; he had “invented him.” If you didn’t believe him, he would pull out a business card or an article that had been written about him to prove he had some juice in Hollywood. That he could make you a star.
But first, he’d need to get to know you. Intimately. Trust him, he’d say. It’s all part of his process.
Then, in a hotel room, a movie trailer, a public park, meetings framed as interviews or auditions quickly turned sexual, according to 38 women who, in separate interviews told the Los Angeles Times of similar encounters they had with Toback.
“It’s a common thread among many women I know … after someone mentions they were sexually abused by a creepy writer-director, the response is, ‘Oh, no. You got Toback-ed,’” said Karen Sklaire, a New York drama teacher, actor and playwright who said a 1997 meeting with Toback in an office ended with him grinding against her leg. “The numbers are staggering.”
Toback isn’t a household name. That’s why he always kept his credentials handy when he introduced himself to women. But Toback amassed a solid body of work over four decades: His 1974 debut, “The Gambler” starring James Caan, the three movies with Downey, Jr., a sympathetic documentary about boxer Mike Tyson and, of course, that Oscar-nominated screenplay for “Bugsy,” the 1991 portrait of gangster Bugsy Siegel, directed by Barry Levinson and starring Beatty and Annette Bening.
Toback’s movies often examine extremes — gambling, drinking, womanizing — that he says overlap with his own demons. "The idea is not to have a separation between my life and my movies," Toback said in a 2002 Salon interview. His characters are often on edge — Harvey Keitel’s pianist in “Fingers,” the teenagers infatuated with hip hop culture in “Black and White.”
Instead, Toback steered her into a restaurant where, she said he told her, “You have to be ready to turn yourself completely over to me.” Finally, she abruptly stood up and fled.
In his trailer on the set of “Black and White,” Toback knelt in front of actress Echo Danon and, she says, put his hands on her thighs, telling her, “If you look into my eyes and pinch my nipples, I’m going to come in my pants right now.” She resisted. She felt helpless. Eventually he backed down.
“Everyone wants to work, so they put up with it,” Dannon said. “That’s why I put up with it. Because I was hoping to get another job.”
Toback approached Sari Kamin at a Kinko’s in Manhattan’s Upper West Side in 2003. He pulled out a DVD copy of “Two Girls and a Guy” and told her he’d like to cast her in his next movie. He said he felt an instant connection to her.
After several dinners over the course of a few months, Kamin says, Toback convinced her to accompany him to a hotel room, telling her that he needed to experience a “real connection” with her. Alarms went off, she says. She knew she wouldn’t sleep with him, but she felt like if she could make it through the evening, maybe she’d finally land a part.
Once in the suite, Kamin says, Toback asked her to take off her clothes. She protested. Toback berated her, saying that if she couldn’t reveal herself to him in the hotel room, how would she be able to act in a provocative sex scene in front of a movie crew? She gave in, removed her clothes. After commenting on her body, he knelt down before her and began to vigorously rub his groin against her.
“I felt really paralyzed,” Kamin recalled. “And I asked him, ‘Are you trying to get yourself off?’ And he said, ‘Absolutely.’” She jumped out of her chair, grabbed her clothes and ran.
Not all of the incidents in the women’s accounts occurred in private. Terri Conn was 23 and acting on the soap opera “As the World Turns” when, she says, Toback approached her on the street. She was intrigued by his credentials and dreamed of being in an edgy independent film. Toback asked her to meet him in Central Park to discuss his process. He took her to a somewhat secluded area — there were people yards away — and told her the best way to get to know someone is to see their soul. And the way you can see someone’s soul is to look into their eyes when they’re experiencing orgasm. And he knelt before her and began humping her leg, telling Conn to look into his eyes.
“I was shocked and frozen and didn’t know what to do,” Conn said. “I thought if I resisted, it could get worse. He could overpower me.” He quickly ejaculated into his khakis, got up and asked her to meet for dinner later to continue the process. Conn ignored his subsequent phone calls and never saw him again.
Chantal Cousineau was 19 and living in Toronto when, she says, she was asked to meet Toback for an audition for “Harvard Man” in 2001. The encounter began in a hotel restaurant and ended in his hotel room, with Cousineau prepared to walk away after Toback kept talking about masturbation. When she reached the door, he told her, “Calm down, you’ve got the part,” as though the whole thing had been a test.
Cousineau didn’t believe him, but her modeling agent called shortly afterward to confirm the casting. During a rehearsal for a monologue in which her character — a drug dealer — looks directly into the camera, she heard Toback, 10 feet away, on the other side of a half wall where the set’s portable monitors were located. grunting, his hands rubbing, loud and rapid, against his windbreaker pants as he masturbated. After issuing a pronounced grunt, she said Toback told the crew to break for 15 minutes.
When he returned to the set, Toback excused the camera man and sat two feet from Cousineau’s face as she delivered her monologue, the first time she had ever been on film.
“I felt so violated,” she said. “And there was my abuser, inches away from me.”
Several of the women the Times interviewed quit acting after their encounters with Toback. Some returned to school. Some got married and buried their incident, never telling their husbands because of a sense of shame. Then the Weinstein scandal hit, and, for many, the news dredged up memories they had long repressed.
“Today, I cried for the first time since then about it,” Post said. “I was crying for the 20-year-old woman who lost something vital that day — her innocence.”
But even as an ever-growing list of high-profile women recount their sexual abuse on social media and in first-person accounts, many women remain afraid. Many of Toback’s alleged victims say he bragged about his mob connections; several women said that he told them he had killed people. Some of his stories struck the women as ridiculous, like when he informed flight attendant Ashly McQueen in 1998 that he killed someone at the racetrack with a pencil.
This woman asked to remain anonymous; she still fearedfor her safety 23 years after Toback humped her leg in his office until he ejaculated in his pants. Others interviewed for this story requested anonymity as well, fearing retaliation. One woman recounted the time when she met Toback at his New York home and he wouldn’t let her leave until she grabbed his nipples and looked into his eyes while he masturbated.
Another well-known actress had a similar experience in 2000 at a Los Angeles hotel during what she thought was to be an audition. As with so many other women, Toback told her he felt a connection with her but that she needed to display the sexual confidence the role required.She needed to remove her clothes. “I am really uncomfortable,” she replied.“That’s the whole point of this exercise,” she says Toback told her.
The young woman, then a rising Hollywood star, wondered why she was so uncomfortable, why she couldn’t just be naked in front of someone. So she took off her sweater, but started to cry. She stumbled through the monologue Toback had given her, thinking, “God, I really am a bad actress. I can’t concentrate. I’m just trying to get through this.”
Toback brought up all the famous people he had worked with, boasting about how he had made their careers and telling her he could do the same for her — if she trusted him. She thought maybe he was right. But she still wanted to leave. She pulled on her sweater. He blocked the hotel room door. He told her he needed to ejaculate and she had to help him.
“People who go against me … I know people that hurt people,” he warned her. Then he asked if she’d have sex with him. No. Would she jerk him off? No.
She went for the door. He told her he couldn’t let her go unless he had sexual release. All she needed to do was pinch his nipples and look into his eyes and he would press himself against her and come in his pants. She felt she had no choice. And while it was happening, she tried to look away, but he grabbed her head and made her stare into his eyes.
Her manager told her not long afterward that he wanted to see her again. Her reply: He’s a vile person. And you shouldn’t ever send another woman to him.
