Los Angeles (AFP) - US rapper A$AP Rocky will stand trial for twice pulling a gun on a former friend and shooting at him once, a court in Los Angeles ruled Monday. The 35-year-old, who has two children with R&B star Rihanna, is being prosecuted on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He has denied the charges. The court heard how Terell Ephron, one of the founding members of the A$AP collective, was left slightly injured after the confrontation in Hollywood in November 2021. At a hearing last week, Ephron, known by his stage name A$AP Relli, said the friendship between the two m...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Danny Masterson, a prominent Scientologist who was jailed this week for raping two women, was a "role model" to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, the star told a judge according to a letter that emerged Friday. Masterson was sentenced to at least 30 years' prison for drugging and sexually assaulting his victims at his swanky Los Angeles home two decades earlier. In a submission to the sentencing judge, Kutcher -- who starred alongside Masterson in retro sitcom "That '70s Show" -- said the older actor had been "nothing but a positive influence" on him.

New York (AFP) - A New York judge on Wednesday again found Donald Trump liable for defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll, who has accused the US ex-president of rape, in a decision opening the door for damages to be awarded. Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 White House race, was found liable in a civil trial in May for sexually abusing the onetime magazine columnist in 1996 and for defaming her in comments made last year. The former real estate magnate was ordered to pay her $5 million. Carroll had also filed a separate civil complaint against Trump for statements he m...

New York (AFP) - A federal judge in New York on Monday tossed out a lawsuit by Donald Trump in which he claimed he had been defamed by a former magazine columnist after she won a sex abuse case against him. The former president was found liable in May for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store in the 1990s -- but not for raping her. Trump sought to turn the tables on the 79-year-old former Elle magazine columnist by filing his own suit in June arguing she had defamed him by continuing to tell US media that he raped her, despite the civil trial verdict. But in his dis...

A summary of the report said staff had "engaged in significant misconduct and dereli...

New York (AFP) - Former US magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll -- whom Donald Trump owes $5 million for 1990s sexual abuse for which a civil jury found him liable -- is seeking new damages alleging the ex-president further defamed her after the verdict in that civil case. "She's a whack job," the 2024 Republican primary candidate said on CNN the day after a New York jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the Elle magazine writer earlier this month. Those comments -- with Trump adding that Carroll was telling a "made-up story" and that he didn't know her -- constitute further "...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein will not be retried for alleged attacks on two women, a judge in Los Angeles ruled Tuesday, after a jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charges. The former movie mogul was convicted last year of raping a European actress in a Beverly Hills hotel a decade earlier. He was jailed for 16 years, a sentence he will serve after he completes a 23-year sentence imposed by a New York court. But the jury in Los Angeles deadlocked on charges relating to two other women and prosecutors on Tuesday said they felt unable to proceed with a new trial. ...

New York (AFP) - A woman in New York state has filed a civil suit against Mike Tyson, accusing the former boxing champion of raping her in a limousine in the early 1990s, according to court filings. The woman, who asked the court to remain anonymous, filed her complaint in early January under a temporary New York state law allowing victims of sexual assault to seek civil damages regardless of the statute of limitations. Tyson spent three years in jail beginning in 1992 after being found guilty of raping model Desiree Washington, who was 18 at the time. In a short affidavit dated December 23, 2...
