Harvey Weinstein has been slapped with sex crime charges in Los Angeles, The Post has learned. LA prosecutors are planning a news conference to announce the charges at 2 p.m. New York time Monday, according to three sources briefed on the matter. The blockbuster move comes just one day before jury selection is set to start in Weinstein’s highly anticipated rape and sex abuse trial in New York.

Rhode Island is one of seven states to have extended the statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases.PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Diocese of Providence has challenged a new Rhode Island law that greatly expands the time window for filing childhood sexual abuse lawsuits. In July, a bill was signed into law by Gov. Gina Raimondo, D extending the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse cases from seven to 35 years in Rhode Island. The 35-year window would commence from the victim’s 18th birthday. The law also includes a “seven year discovery” provision allowing victims to file lawsuits up to...

The United Nations is demanding that the United Kingdom send more female troops to its “peace-keeping” operation in Mali. Secretary General António Guterres complained that “unless there is an adequate supply of females in the deployment, pent up sexual urges among the male troops we have sent could lead to unacceptably high rates of rape against the indigenous females they are supposed to protect.” if you missed any of this week's other semi-news/semi-satire posts you can find them at... https://azconservative.org/2019/12/29/trump-judicial-nominees-more-qualified/

The details were chilling. On Friday, the Suffolk County district ­attorney’s office handed down charges against 96 members and associates of the MS-13 gang. The allegations included brutal murders using machetes, assaults, rapes, a large-scale drug-selling operation and widespread intimidation of immigrants on Long Island. The indictments represent a significant step forward in bringing this group of transnational thugs to heel. They will also go some way toward stopping MS-13’s push to expand its efforts to the East Coast from its home bases in El Salvador and California. Kudos to the federal, state and local law-enforcement personnel who teamed up...

Planned Parenthood lobbyists may have killed a California bill that would help protect young women from sexual abuse. California Assembly Bill 1030 received bipartisan support when it passed the state Assembly earlier this year. It was written in response to sexual abuse allegations against a University of Southern California (USC) gynecologist who is accused of abusing at least 700 patients in the past 30 years. The bill is informed consent legislation. It would ensure first-time gynecological patients understand what is supposed to happen during a pelvic examination and provide contact information to report abuses. Despite seemingly strong support, the bill...

With the impeachment nonsense making TV news unwatchable, I’ve been catching up on “Law & Order SVU” recently. The scripts involve the sort of real-life crimes that are a lot more common since our country has become “diverse,” such as child rape and incest. But the child-rapists are never diverse, as they are in real life. No, the perps are always blond, blue-eyed American men. In fact, the modern American white male is the least rapey, most gentle, protective, chivalrous creature God has ever created. Get ready for a gigantic I TOLD YOU SO when American women realize that, from...

It could even end a relationship.The easiest thing to do is avoid tough conversations altogether. Not every argument or arguer is worthy of our engagement.But issues and people are worthy of the truth. The stakes are simply too high. C.S. Lewis once said that good philosophy is needed if for no other reason than bad philosophy exists. And I’d add, good answers are needed in our culture if for no other reason than bad answers exist....

One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.

Cosby also called his trial a “set up” and the jurors “imposters.” “I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby told National Newspaper Publishers Association's BlackPressUSA.com, clearly not believing...

With his arm still wrapped around her neck, Thurman dragged an unconscious George to her car and threw her in the back seat, where he sexually...
