Notorious right-wing British leader Nigel Farage jokingly asked that
President-elect Donald Trump not grope the United Kingdom’s Prime
Minister, because it’s apparently so hilarious that the newly elected
Commander-in-Chief has been accused of sexually assaulting a dozen
women.
Discussing how Trump should handle his first meeting with PM Theresa May in a radio interview, The Guardian reports the former UK Independent Party leader exclaimed, “Don’t touch her, for God’s sake!”
Farage, one of the leaders of the Brexit movement and a big Trump fan,
went on to joke that perhaps he should be at the meeting to ensure
there’s no groping.
“If it comes to it, I could be there as the responsible adult role, to make sure everything’s okay,” he said. Cont.
A Hawkins County man who reportedly threw a 19-year-old woman off a
second-story motel balcony because she refused him sex was sentenced to
10 days in jail earlier this week and ordered to attend anger management
classes.
Wesley Dylan Marshall, 24, 217 Carters Valley Loop, Rogersville, was
originally charged by Church Hill police on July 9 with aggravated
assault and retaliation for past actions.
On Monday in Hawkins County Sessions Court, the retaliation charge was
dismissed, and Marshall pleaded guilty to the reduced misdemeanor
assault charge.
Police said Marshall, another male and a 19-year-old female checked into
the Church Hill Motel the evening of July 8 to celebrate the female’s
birthday.
On July 9 shortly after 3 a.m., Church Hill police were en route to a
disturbance complaint at the motel when they were advised that a female
had been thrown from the second floor balcony to the ground below and
that two males ran down to the first level and retrieved her.
The victim was transported to Holston Valley Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Cont.
A Toronto woman says her Uber driver falsely told her payment wouldn't
go through if her phone had died, and offered to accept sexual favours
in lieu.
Erika Szabo, 28, was hoping for a relaxing ride home from a speaking
engagement at the Unplugged Expo downtown Sunday night when she booked
with Uber as part of her frequent use of the service.
After getting into the vehicle, the video producer told her driver that her phone had died.
Szabo alleges the male driver told her the payment wouldn't go through
if her phone wasn't on. Believing that was true, she said, she asked to
get out of the car, but he kept driving.
On the highway, he allegedly offered her two deals: give him oral sex or
show him her breasts. "I thought it was a sick joke or something,"
Szabo said.
He said Szabo owed him for his service, she said, also recalling him saying it was "no big deal."
Szabo said she repeatedly told him "no," and asked him to pull over. He
ignored her and proposed a third deal. This time, she said, he offered
to pay her for oral sex.
She bolted out of the car and into her west-end apartment once they arrived.
"I was so upset. I felt humiliated. I felt helpless," she said. "It was really scary to be a victim like that."
After plugging her phone in, she realized the payment did go
through. She alerted Uber about the incident through the driver feedback
section of the app.
The next morning, Szabo filed a sexual harassment report with police and a formal complaint with Uber. Cont.
A pastor faced a judge Wednesday on charges of trafficking several teens into prostitution.
Cooper, known as ‘Romeo,’ reportedly lured male teens, ages 16 through
18, by saying he could get the modeling work and then arranged for them
to meet a photographer.
Turns out the photographer was actually someone who paid to have sex with them.
Cooper allegedly posted photos of the teens on websites like Craigslist and Backpage.com to find more clients.
In addition to forcing the teens to have sex with men in hotels, Cooper
also prostituted them at a Miami adult book store, according to his
arrest report. The manager at the adult bookstore declined to comment.
The four victims said they charged $40 to $100. The teens said after
their encounters Cooper demanded half, sometimes more, of what they had
been paid.
All of the teens said they were scared of him because he threatened to kill them if they didn’t give him the money.
On Wednesday, the judge called Cooper a danger to the community and ordered him to be held without bond. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
A Cape Breton man, better known as Klutzy the Clown, is facing four sex-related charges involving a minor.
Dale Rancourt, 51, has been charged with one count of sexual assault,
two counts of sexual interference and one count of sexual exploitation
after he was arrested on Sunday. Cape Breton Regional police said the
alleged offences took place between July 15 and Oct. 16.
According to court documents, the alleged female victim is 15 years old.
Police have not revealed certain details related to the case and the
alleged victim due to a publication ban.
Rancourt is a well-known children’s entertainer in Cape Breton who has
performed as Klutzy the Clown at birthday parties, children’s events and
charitable fundraisers for more than two decades. He made a number of
media appearances last week, including on CTV Atlantic and CTV News
Channel, defending his profession after a series of reports of “creepy
clowns” terrorizing strangers in costume made headlines in North
America. Cont.

Five women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said
Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as
young as 15 — were changing.
“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my
god, there’s a man in here,’” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss
Vermont Teen USA.
Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”
Three other women, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of getting
engulfed in a media firestorm, also remembered Trump entering the
dressing room while girls were changing. Two of them said the girls
rushed to cover their bodies, with one calling it “shocking” and
“creepy.” The third said she was clothed and introduced herself to
Trump.
“I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed,” Trump told Howard Stern in recordings released Saturday by CNN.
“No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner
of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. … ‘Is everyone OK?’ You
know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you
see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with
things like that.” Cont.
A day after Jessica Leeds accused Donald Trump of sexual assault in a
story reported by the New York Times, Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs used
his large audience on Twitter — roughly 797,000 followers — to
advertise the woman’s New York address and telephone number.
Just before 10 a.m. Thursday, Dobbs retweeted a post shared by a Trump
supporter that contained a link to a conservative news site. The post
listed Leeds’s personal information — taken from public records — and
then falsely claimed that the woman’s phone number linked her to the
Clinton Foundation, Politico reported.
“This is the Dirtiest Campaign in our History,” Dobbs wrote in the retweet.
It was then shared more than 1,200 times and liked more than 1,500
times. The Trump supporter’s tweet was later deleted, though it’s
unclear by whom.
Dobbs also tweeted a direct link to the original post, reported Politico, but it was deleted, too.
In a follow-up tweet, Dobbs linked to the Politico story about his original tweet and wrote an apology.
“My Retweet, My Mistake, My Apology to Jessica Leeds,” he tweeted.
Fox Business did not respond to a request for comment Thursday,
according to Business Insider, though many users on Twitter called for
Dobbs to face disciplinary action.
Leeds, 74, was one of two women who accused Donald Trump of groping and kissing them without permission in a story
published in the New York Times this week. After their accusations hit
the Internet, several more women stepped forward to report similar
behavior, including a People magazine reporter who wrote
in an essay in the publication that Trump pinned her against the wall
during a 2005 interview at his Florida estate, “forcing his tongue down
my throat.” Cont.
Authorities say two Missouri men are now charged in the kidnapping and sexual assault of a Kansas sheriff’s deputy.
Captain Brian Hill with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department in
Kansas says the incident appears to have been planned, reports CBS
affiliate KCTV.
According to KCTV5, William Luth, 24, and Brady Newman-Caddell, 21, both
face aggravated kidnapping, two counts of rape and aggravated sodomy.
They have both been held on a $1 million bond.
The victim, who is in her early 20s, was in civilian clothing and going
to work. She was kidnapped while getting out of her car in the
department’s parking lot. She was then blindfolded and forced into a
vehicle.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp said the deputy was dropped off just a half a mile away from his department’s headquarters.
She kept walking in her battered condition until she saw the lights
coming from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. That’s when she knew
she was safe. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

Allred, a Clinton supporter, was a delegate at the Democratic National

to allow transgender contestant Jenna Talackova to compete in the Miss Universe Canada event. During the DNC, Allred told Variety,
"I know the only way to beat Trump is to confront him, head on and to
refuse to let him get away with his bullying behavior. I think people
want someone to stand up and confront him. I think a strong approach
with Trump is warranted and that Hillary is more than capable of
fighting back and winning this battle." Cont.
At last. Breathe out. Video obtained by the Washington Post shows Trump with scumbag Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood" "fame," discussing his attempts to seduce a woman: "I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her. She was married." As the bus (brought to you by Verizon) nears the camera Trump continues: "I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. and she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." Trump and his deplorable campaign are dismissing this as just "Locker room banter." But...

defeating Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump should step aside,” Coffman said in
a statement, according to CBS Denver.
“His defeat at this point seems almost certain. And four years of
Hillary Clinton is not what is best for this country. Mr. Trump should
put the country first and do the right thing.” Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman: “In a campaign cycle that has been nothing but a race to the bottom — at
such a critical moment for our nation — and with so many who have tried
to be respectful of a record primary vote, the time has come for
Governor Pence to lead the ticket,” Huntsman told the Salt Lake kTribune. Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk: .@realDonaldTrump should drop out. @GOP should engage rules for emergency replacement. Former New York Gov. George Pataki: I'm horrified by #TrumpTape news. @realDonaldTrump campaign is a poisonous mix of bigotry & ignorance. Enough! He needs to step down. Rob Engstrom, national political director at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and former director of the Division of Political Education at the Republican National Committee: Trump should step down immediately tonight, yielding to Governor Pence as the GOP Nominee. Republican strategist John Weaver: Said weeks ago, but now is time: Cut Trump loose. If u have endorsed, rescind. U work for campaign, can resign. #TwoPaths#Intregrity

His disgusting and deplorable campaign surrogates will continue and desperately try to spin this, trying to keep focus on Hillary Clinton.

The RCMP has delivered a historic apology to female officers and
civilian members with a massive settlement over harassment,
discrimination and sexual abuse claims that could cost up to $100
million.
About 20,000 current and past employees who have worked for
the RCMP since 1974 could qualify for compensation, but it is expected
that about a thousand will seek payments.
The settlement agreement, which must still be approved by a Federal
Court, deals with two separate class action cases that have been ongoing
for nearly five years.
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson teared up as he apologized and praised the
women for their courage during a news conference in Ottawa.
"To all the women who have been impacted by the force's failure to have
protected your experience at work, and on behalf of every leader,
supervisor or manager, every commissioner, I stand humbly before you
today and solemnly offer our sincere apology," he said.
Paulson also apologized to all Canadians for the "shameful" conduct
within the ranks that bred "deep disappointment" in the national police
force.
Compensation claims will be paid at six different levels, based on
severity of the severity of the acts and the impact on the woman's
welfare and career. The process will be confidential, but does not
compel women to refrain from speaking about their experiences publicly.
Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Ralph Goodale called
it "deeply disturbing" that a Canadian icon like the RCMP was tarnished
by misconduct. Cont. (Video)
Host Andrea Tantaros talks to ABC about her former networks integrity and perversion.
Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros hopes to bring “accountability” to
the network, which is at the center of allegations of sexual misconduct,
she said today on ABC News’ “Good Morning America.”
“Fox News has plenty of money. They’ve bought off a lot of women. What
they don’t have is accountability,” Tantaros said this morning, in an
exclusive appearance to explain her speaking out.
Her comments and television appearance are likely to bring renewed
scrutiny to the accusations, which Fox News and its deposed chief, Roger
Ailes, had hoped to put behind them.
In August, Tantaros joined other female Fox News personalities to allege
abusive behavior at the company when she filed a lawsuit claiming that
the network “operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion–like cult,
steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny.”
In making her allegations in August, Tantaros joined a handful of female
former Fox News hosts who alleged sexually explicit and abusive
behavior at the network. The most prominent other host making similar
allegations was Gretchen Carlson, whose lawsuit was filed in July,
shortly after she left the network after 11 years. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
An Egyptian MP has stirred controversy after rejecting tougher penalties
for those who force women into genital mutilation (FGM), saying half of
the country's men "are impotent."
Parliament last week approved longer jail terms for those carrying out FGM, following the death of a teenage girl.
MP Ilhami Agina responded by saying FGM was needed in order to reduce women's sexual appetite, to match Egypt's men.
The procedure is still widespread in Egypt despite being illegal since 2008.
He was quoted by other Egyptian media as saying the procedure was needed so women would "reduce their sexual desires" to match that of Egypt's "sexually weak" men.
"If we stop FGM, we will need strong men and we don't have men of that sort." Cont.
I'm not going to stop linking back to this, it needs to be done across the board, and the priesthood needs to be declared a public health hazard. Story out of Bronx, New York:
A priest who once said homosexuals had to live a “celibate life” to be
good Catholics has been accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy at a
Bronx church about 30 years ago.
But without a change to the statute of limitations on child sex abuse in
New York, the alleged crimes committed by the man of the cloth will
forever go unpunished.
Father Anthony Giuliano was running two parishes in Dutchess County —
about 85 miles from Manhattan — on Aug. 16 when a 43-year-old man told
police the priest had molested him in the late 1980s.
The Archdiocese of New York immediately removed him from the two parishes as the NYPD launched an investigation.
“The allegation has been found to be credible,” Reverend Gerald Walsh,
the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, to parishioners at
St. John the Evangelist and St. Charles Borromeo churches, located in
Pawling and Dover Plains. Cont.
Tenants of homes owned by a pair of St. Louis landlords say they weren’t
just subjected to inappropriate sexual comments, but that one landlord
also offered to look the other way on the rent if tenants would sleep
with him. When the renters refused these advances, they claim the
landlords tried to throw them out on the streets.
Some tenants eventually filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, and the subsequent investigation found
sufficient evidence to move forward with a discrimination action against
the landlords.
The landlords live across the river in Illinois but run at least four
rental properties in St. Louis. One former tenant claims that her brief
tenure in one of their units was marked by repeated harassment.
According to the complaint, this unacceptable behavior ranged from the
landlords pressing her for personal information about her sexual
preferences: “whether she had a boyfriend, how she engaged in sex with
her girlfriend, whether she and her girlfriend engaged in threesomes,
and whether she and her girlfriend would engage in a threesome with [the
landlord].”
The tenant says this landlord attempted to touch her breasts, and
offered to forgive or reduce the rent if she would engage in sexual acts
with him.
While the suit is being brought by the government and not the tenants,
it could still ultimately provide monetary damages to compensate the
alleged victims. The DOJ is also seeking civil penalties and a court
order barring future discrimination. Cont.
And Ailes is now working with Trump to get back the female vote... cough.
The suit, which describes Fox News as a misogynistic, sex-fueled cult,
also alleges that newly appointed Fox News co-president Bill Shine
encouraged Andrea Tantaros to drop her harassment claims.
"Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but
behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like
cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny," Tantaros claims
in the lawsuit, first obtained by The New York Times.
Tantaros' suit comes nearly seven weeks after former Fox News host
Gretchen Carlson accused Ailes of sexual harassment, prompting at least
20 women to come forward with their own stories of harassment at the
hands of Ailes. Ailes has denied all the allegations.
It also comes after a months-long dispute between Tantaros and Fox News
regarding the termination of her employment at the network. Fox News has
claimed that Tantaros invented sexual harassment claims when in fact
she was in breach of contract for publishing a book without approval.
Tantaros's lawyers have accused Fox News of using the book as an excuse
for her termination. (Well, duh.) Cont.
Seriously, the pool boy. Story out of Stockton, California:
As a monsignor, Larry McGovern is supposed to be a person Catholics can
respect and trust. However, with recent allegations of sexual
harassment, it seems that trust has been broken.
According to attorney Vince Finaldi, his client, a parishioner with the
Church of the Presentation, claims McGovern sent him sexually explicit
pictures.
“It’s extremely disturbing that the person’s who is head of this parish
would be sending text with photographs of his exposed genitals,” Finaldi
said.
Finaldi claimed his client, who is also a pool maintenance contractor
for the church, was sent a text message of McGovern's private parts in
July.
Finaldi told FOX40, his client confronted the priest about the explicit
photo, asking about the monsignor's celibacy. According to the victim,
McGovern responded back, "Oh, that just means that you’re not married.":/Cont. (Video)
The last thing the embattled cable outlet needs right now—given the escalating fallout over ex-chairman and founder Roger Ailes’s alleged sexual misconduct and mushrooming allegations of a pervasive workplace culture of harassment—is yet another controversy over sexually charged language, racial provocation and vile misogyny.
So some folks, especially conservative activists and pundits who are
normally sympathetic to the Fox News brand, are expressing disbelief
that male-centric blogger, Twitter troll and ardent Donald Trump fan
Mike Cernovich was booked as a guest last week on the cable channel’s
popular Red Eye show.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. He’s a nutcase,” said right-wing author
and radio host Ben Shapiro. “Granting any legitimacy to a fringe kook
like Mike Cernovich, and all of the attendant nastiness and problems, is
close to insane by any cable network.”
“Are you serious?” asked Ben Howe, a writer and editor of the
conservative blog RedState, when informed of Cernovich’s Fox News
appearance. “He was a guest on fucking Red Eye? They’re giving this motherfucker legitimacy? Oh my god!”
Yet Red Eye host Tom Shillue slathered Cernovich with on-air praise when
he appeared on the 3 a.m. August 4 episode to fervently defend Trump
and trash Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, who has reluctantly endorsed
the Republican presidential nominee, as a politician who “doesn’t care
about America. He wants open borders. He’s a globalist.”
Whether or not Shillue was aware of Cernovich’s gamey reputation, the
38-year-old non-practicing California lawyer—a self-described “radical
free speech proponent,” and the author of Gorilla Mindset, a
self-published self-help book promoting male empowerment—is famous to
his 78,000-plus Twitter followers for his steady output of offensive and
incendiary remarks, a veritable inferno of political incorrectness.
“Have you guys ever tried ‘raping’ a girl without using force?” he tweeted in August 2012. “Try it. It’s basically impossible. Date rape does not exist.”
More recently, last February, he tweeted: “Not being a slut is the only proven way to avoid AIDS. If you love black women, slut shame them.”
Red Eye’s booking of Mike Cernovich is simply another ingredient in a toxic stew.
“That’s horrifying,” said conservative writer Bethany Mandel, who has
also tangled with Cernovich on Twitter. “They should not be giving him
any platform of legitimacy whatsoever. It’s a very troubling thing in a
post-Ailes Fox.” Cont.
Story from - The Daily Beast
Back in 2009 this same "comedy" show took a couple of pot shots at the Canadian Army after four soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. Watch below a news story at the time, a comedy segment and little rant by Tom Green:
Fox News’ senior executives have said they were unaware of
sexual-harassment allegations against Roger Ailes before former anchor
Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against him in July. But those claims
are now being challenged by Fox host Andrea Tantaros, who says that she
complained multiple times to senior Fox executives in 2015 about Ailes’s
inappropriate sexual behavior toward her. Tantaros says that, after she
came forward, she was first demoted and eventually taken off the air in
April 2016. Fox continues to payher.
Through her lawyer, Judd Burstein, Tantaros says that both she and her
agent told Fox executive vice-president Bill Shine, senior
vice-president Suzanne Scott, and general counsel Dianne Brandi about
episodes of Ailes’s alleged harassment. “She made multiple harassment
and hostile-workplace complaints,” Burstein says. As far as Tantaros
knows, Fox executives never investigated her complaints, Burstein says;
instead, they claim, Fox sidelined her. “I believe it’s retaliatory,”
saysBurstein.
Burstein says Tantaros, who is still employed by Fox, knows she is
taking a risk in violating her contract’s confidentiality clause. She’s
telling her story now, he says, because “she doesn’t have the same fear
of being attacked by the Fox PR machine, and the Murdochs have made it clear they want to clean up theplace.” Cont.
