(USA TODAY) -- President Obama led a chorus of voices paying tribute to legendary film critic Roger Ebert, who died Thursday at the age of 70 after a prolonged battle with cancer.

The fellow Chicagoan and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer "was the movies," Obama said. "The movies won't be the same without Roger, and our thoughts and prayers are with (Ebert's wife) Chaz and the rest of the Ebert family," Obama said.

Director Martin Scorsese, who is executive-producing a documentary on Ebert, called the passing "an incalculable loss for movie culture and for film criticism. And it's a loss for me personally."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The "DC Groper" was deported to Nicaragua on Wednesday, after being convicted of sexually assaulting women in the DuPont Circle area, officials said. 

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) / Removal Operations (ERO) said in a press release that 31-year-old Oscar Mauricio Cornejo was living in the U.S. illegally and was handed over to ICE after his criminal sentence. 

In the summer of 2012, Cornejo sexually assaulted several young women as he rode his bicycle and aggressively groped and fondled the victims, the press release said. 

Following his arrest by DC Police, Cornejo received a 180-day prison sentence with all but 90 days suspended. He admitted to the sexual assault of four women during the court case and was charged with misdemeanor sex abuse.
