SAN DIEGO -- A judge has decided to unseal records in a civil case involving a teenager claiming she was raped by former San Diego State University punter and former Buffalo Bill's pick Matt Araiza during an off-campus house party in October 2021. “I'm not the police chief, I don't know what they're going to say, but as far as I'm concerned, in this court, I have unsealed it with a protective order," Judge Jeffrey Fraser said. “We’re happy, we recognize that it’s a first step, we appreciate the judge’s thoughtful consideration of our motion to unseal these records, we believe these records are the best evidence," Kristen Bush, one of Matt Araiza's attorneys said.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump turned his attention to the general election on Thursday, using his first campaign appearance since President Joe Biden launched his own reelection bid to boast of his poll numbers and suggest that he has no need to debate his Republican rivals.Trump’s appearance in New Hampshire marked his first return to an early voting state since his legal troubles increased with an indictment in New York. He spoke on the same day that his former vice president, Mike Pence, testified before a federal grand jury investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. Meanwhile, writer E. Jean Carroll testified for a second day Thursday in a civil rape case against Trump over an encounter in the 1990s, an allegation he denies. “We are a nation in serious decline, a nation that has lost its way,” Trump said at a downtown Manchester hotel, a smaller venue than his typical, large-scale rallies. “We are led by a hopeless person...

There’s lot of movies made for boys. The coming-of-age genre is filled with hundreds of examples, like Dune, the Perks of Being a Wallflower, or Harry Potter.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Telegram’s CEO said Thursday that the social media company will appeal a Brazilian judge’s decision to block access to its platform in Brazil for failing to hand over data on neo-Nazi activity.

Kremlin partisans have employed it as a digital weapon in President Vladimir Putin’s war of conquest in Ukraine.Durov said the Brazilian federal judge who ordered the suspension Wednesday “requested data that is technologically impossible for us to obtain.” He claimed to be defending Brazilian users’ “right to private communication” bu...
