Danny Masterson appeals 2023 rape convictions, aims for ‘complete exoneration’ – National

Former That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson, through his lawyers, has appealed his 2023 rape convictions. In September of 2023, Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women, both former members of the Church of Scientology (Masterson is still a member of the church).

One in every 127 people globally had autism in 2021, study estimates

A study has estimated that one in every 127 people globally, or 6.18 crore individuals, had autism in 2021, with the neurodevelopmental condition featuring among the top 10 causes of non-fatal health burden in youth aged under 20 years.

Olympic breaker Raygun says legal dispute over comedy musical has been resolved

By Georgie Hewson, ABC Photo: AFP/Screenshot Breakdancer Rachael "Raygun" Gunn says she has resolved a dispute with a comedian after her lawyers shut down a parody musical based on her Olympic journey. Sydney comedian Steph Broadbridge cancelled her Raygun-inspired musical two weeks ago after receiving letters from the breakdancer's lawyers. Raygun's lawyers claimed her name and the silhouette of her iconic kangaroo pose from Paris 2024 were protected intellectual property. Hoping to put the online saga to rest, Gunn posted a video statement on Instagram on Thursday night. She said her legal team and Broadbridge's had come to an agreement. "Hi everyone, it's been a big couple of weeks," Gunn said in a video posted to Instagram. "I'm not going to lie, it's been a wild ride but I'm re...

Yes, the posters on the Tube et al have been air brushed to high heaven, presumably to spare commuters the horror of what a woman who is almost 40 looks like. But on camera, rest assured, Knightley looks like a normal, if terribly beautiful, woman. Source link
