An American accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 and later sending her a Facebook message that said, "So I raped you," has been detained in France after a three-year search. Authorities in Metz on Tuesday say 31-year-old Ian Thomas Cleary of Saratoga, California, has been in custody since a routine police stop last month and will be held pending extradition proceedings. Former Gettysburg College student Shannon Keeler had long pushed for an arrest. Investigators filed an arrest warrant for Cleary in 2021 after an Associated Press investigation detailed the dearth of prosecutions for campus sex crimes. Neither Cleary's parents nor a court-appointed lawyer in France immediately returned messages Tuesday.

California could soon deploy generative artificial intelligence tools to help reduce traffic jams, make roads safer and provide tax guidance, among other things. The state has announced the new agreements Thursday with five companies. They are parts of Gov. Gavin Newsom's efforts to harness the power of new technologies for public services. The companies now enter a six-month internal trial where the state will test the tools before it can decide whether to launch the tools. Generative AI is a powerful technology that could help improve governmental works, but it needs safeguards and oversight. All the tools are considered low risk, meaning they don't interact with confidential data or personal information.

The bungled rollout of a new federal student aid form has left millions of students in limbo and some wondering if their college dreams will survive. By May 1, students across the U.S. usually know where they're headed to college in the fall. But this year, most don't even have financial aid offers yet after delays and glitches in the launch of the new FAFSA form. Many students still have not been able to complete the form, which the government and colleges use to determine scholarships and loans. Projected college enrollments are down at levels that could be catastrophic for small colleges.
