A second woman accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of choking and hitting her without her consent during sex, according to court documents. The star is already under investigation for an alleged sexual assault in California. Bauer, who has denied the allegations, has not been charged in the case. It has since emerged that another woman, from Ohio, sought a temporary order of protection against the star in June 2020, according to court records obtained by The Washington Post. Bauer allegedly punched and choked a woman against her wishes when they were having sex. She also claimed that he sent her death threats via text messages, with Bauer allegedly saying he doesn't 'feel like spending time in jail for killing someone.' 'And that's what would happen if I saw you again,' Bauer allegedly wrote, prompting the woman to seek the protective order in June 2020. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has pushed back against the women who accused him of s

Ghislaine Maxwell - pictured - argued that she had a non-prosecution agreement like Cosby so she should be freed. It was rejected A Manhattan federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's argument to drop the sex trafficking charges against her in the wake of Bill Cosby's overturned conviction.  Maxwell's lawyers argued that - like Cosby - Maxwell had a non-prosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein signed with federal prosecutors in Florida in 2007.  But US District Judge Alison Nathan said in her Friday ruling that the argument isn't 'persuasive' and Epstein's NPA has no bearing on Maxwell's case because she didn't sign any agreement herself.  That's unlike Cosby's situation, where the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found a decades-old NPA with a different prosecutor that should have shielded him from charges. Cosby was freed from prison after serving three years of a three-to-10-year sentence in June.  In Judge Nathan's decision, she wro

China is coming under pressure to share data and open up its virus research centres in Wuhan to proper outside investigation amid growing credibility for the theory that a laboratory incident might have sparked the Covid pandemic. It follows an admission by the head of the World Health Organisation origins study that Patient Zero may have been linked to research or sample collection by Wuhan scientists – as suggested by the US State Department in January. Peter Ben Embarek, a Danish food scientist, led the WHO team that earlier this year collaborated with China to dismiss the possibility of a laboratory leak as ‘extremely unlikely’ but now says there might have been ‘human error’.

The Duchess of Windsor rather baffled me,’ observed Wallis Simpson’s wartime aide, Rene MacColl. ‘I was never at my ease with her. What causes one human being to fall madly in love with another is occasionally clear to third persons. But more often it remains a mystery to the onlooker. So far as I was concerned, it was emphatically a mystery in this case.’ It is a question that has continued to intrigue Royal analysts and the public nearly 50 years after the Duke of Windsor’s death and 35 years after his wife’s. What was the couple’s relationship really like? Did they feel they had to pretend to live out a fairytale romance, as a result of the former King’s sensational decision to quit his Royal duties and move abroad with the woman he adored? Or was theirs a genuine love story? The Duke of Windsor, right, remained besotted with his wife Wallace Simpson until he died What is certain is that the Duke of Windsor remained besotted with his wife until he died. ‘I have never known any perso

President Biden has defended the American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan even as the Taliban take over whole swathes of the country - and has blamed predecessor Donald Trump for a deal that left the warlords 'in the strongest position militarily since 2001'. He also announced that he was increasing the number of US troops being deployed to protect the withdrawal from the US embassy to 5,000.  Around 1,000 service members are already on the ground and 3,000 more were already being sent next week, before officials announced the deployment of an extra 1,000 as the situation escalated Saturday.   The US Embassy in Afghanistan will be evacuated in 72 hours under the protection of the military, and some staffers have already arrived at the Kabul international airport, according to reports.   US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held talks with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani Saturday to discuss the 'urgency of ongoing diplomatic and political efforts to reduce the violence,'
