Article here. Excerpt:

'A former Tennessee elementary school teacher and mother of two charged with raping a child was rearrested Thursday for allegedly attempting to coerce her victim.

Covington Police arrested Alissa McCommon, 38, at her home Thursday and charged her with coercion of a witness, aggravated stalking and harassment. It was McCommon's second arrest in three weeks after she was charged with rape of a child on Sept. 8, 2023, police said.

UK: Law will let young people find sperm donor parents

Article here. No mention of this as a contract abrogation against the donor who for any number of reasons might want to go un-contacted or unidentified. Excerpt:

'People born using a sperm or egg donor in the UK, who turn 18 after Sunday, will be able to find out the identity of the donor because of a change in the law.

The 16-year-old twins have spent their lives wondering who he is.

When they turn 18 next year, they will be able to apply to find out his name and last-known address if they want to try to find out where they came from.
The twins know their donor dad's build, his eye and hair colour and some of his hobbies, such as photography, swimming and the guitar. They also know he has a masters degree in business.'

Men Don’t Need Their Own ‘Affirmative Action’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Three months after the fall of race-based affirmative action, the academic world is still wrestling with questions of who does — and doesn’t — deserve a tip on the admissions scale: from athletes, legacies, children of donors, and children of faculty (who collectively comprise 30 percent of Harvard’s student body), to men.

Across the nation’s collegiate classrooms, women outnumber men three to two. Of course, this ratio does not yet reflect the growing number of students who identify outside of the gender binary. But still, it is significant — and for some admissions offices, alarming.

As a Board, we’ve decided firmly in favor of race-based affirmative action and staunchly against legacy admissions. An admissions boost for men may appear to align with our appeals to a diverse student body in our defense of race-based college admissions.

But these struggles for educational equity are not equal.

AI girlfriends are ruining an entire generation of men

DeSantis says men should 'absolutely' provide child support to pregnant women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said he thinks that men should be providing child support to pregnant women even prior to their child being born, adding to his campaign’s pro-family push.

DeSantis, who is vying to be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, was asked in an interview with Fox News about Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) legislation that would allow the court to award child support payments to mothers while the child is still in the womb.

DeSantis said men should be providing child support to pregnant women, although he didn’t indicate whether he supported Rubio's legislation.

“Most of these women do not want to have abortions, but they feel like they have no other options because they get no support,” DeSantis said. “And that’s because a lot of these men are nowhere to be found — they should absolutely be providing support; they should absolutely be held accountable.”'

Luis Rubiales puts £1.2m home up for sale as legal costs spiral over 'kissgate' scandal

Article here. Excerpt:

'Former Spanish Football Federation chief Luis Rubiales has stuck his luxury Madrid apartment on the market amidst the controversy surrounding the kiss-gate scandal.

The 46-year-old resigned from his post last Sunday as RFEF president, three weeks on from Spain winning the Women's World Cup final and his controversial kiss with Jenni Hermoso. After growing pressure to step down, Rubiales confirmed the news in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Now, a week later, Rubiales has been forced to sell his £1.2million Spanish mansion as he faces mounting legal bills and an increase in financial support to his ex-wife and kids, according to The Sun.

Is Russell Brand the victim of a media witch-hunt, asks Bev Turner

Article here. Excerpt:

'However, after speaking to several close sources of both media outlets and Brand himself on Saturday morning it was clear that although some of the behaviour being alleged is depraved, each instance is nothing more than ‘he said’ versus ‘she said’ through a decade-long time lapse. As usual, there is nuance.

Obviously every human being deserves the right to refuse sexual or physical invasions of any type from another.

But this current trial by media is grotesque.'

Croatia announces new bill to recognise femicide in country's criminal code

Article here. Excerpt:

'Croatia announced this week a new bill which will introduce femicide into the country’s criminal code and impose longer prison terms for rape.

Croatia’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic called it “the most extensive and perhaps the most significant changes so far” aimed at tackling violence against women and children in the country.

“The proposed measures are a confirmation of what we keep repeating – the political will to fight violence against women exists. It is unquestionable, constant, ethical, and it is our value system,” Plenkovic said during a meeting with representatives of institutions and citizens’ associations in Zagreb on Wednesday.

The amendments to the existing laws suggested by the government will be released to the public for consultation by the end of next week. Ideally, they should come into force by January 2024.

Expelled Yale student says rape case that led to acquittal 'eviscerated' his life

Article here. Excerpt:

'A former Yale student from Afghanistan who was expelled after a rape case that ultimately led to acquittal told FOX News the events have "eviscerated" his life.

In 2018, Khan was acquitted of all four sexual assault charges by a New Haven, Conn., jury, and he told the local paper at the time that as the trial went on, he was essentially "alone in America" and had no real home while being faced with the allegation.

Khan had been accused of raping a female student in her dormitory on Halloween 2015. The New York Times reported at the time that the case took on political significance over whether campus assault cases should be conducted by universities or police.

The Connecticut Supreme Court recently ruled Khan can now sue his accuser for defamation regarding statements made during a school hearing, according to the New York Post.
...
"One of the craziest arguments that Yale had said was that just because a court of law says that you're not guilty doesn't mean we think you're not guilty."'

SNP's juryless rape trials compared to Russia as legal expert warns of Andrew Malkinson scandals

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Scottish Government have been accused of launching one of the "most dangerous attacks" on Scots law through their attempt to introduce juryless rape trials. And legal expert Professor Alistair Bonnington warned that wrongful convictions like that of Andrew Malkinson may frequently occur due to this.

He was jailed for rape in 2003 and only released in 2020 before it was revealed that he had been a victim of miscarriage of justice after another suspect was arrested. He received £1m in compensation from the state.

Prof Bonnington compared the potential changes in criminal trials in Scotland to something which might be seen in a dictator state like Russia, where "the case starts with the judge asking the accused: 'Why did you commit this crime?'" The plans for just one judge to be utilised in rape and serious sexual crime trials instead of a jury has been roundly criticised by lawyers and advocates.
