Sexually abused what does it mean

- A + A CANBERRA (June 23): A landmark inquiry into Australia's mining sector has uncovered dozens of shocking cases of sexual harassment and abuse of women workers at companies including BHP Group and Rio Tinto Group. The Western Australia government report released on Thursday described "horrific" incidents at the workplaces, which it labelled both a failure of the industry and an oversight by government. Among recommendations were the payment of compensation to the many workers who became victims of bosses and colleagues on remote projects. "I was shocked and appalled well beyond expectation by the size and depth of the problem," Libby Mettam, chair of the inquiry, said in the report. "To hear the lived reality of the taunts, attacks, and targeted violence, the devastation and despair the victims experienced, the threats to or loss of their livelihood that resulted was shattering and completely inexcusable." The probe delves into the dark corners of an industry … [Read more...] about ‘Horrific’ sexual abuses uncovered in Australia mining probe

In early 2022, Fidelity became the first major financial services firm to offer investors the chance to add crypto assets to their 401(k) retirement accounts. The company is a giant in the retirement business, holding more than $2 trillion in 401(k) assets, and administers the pension plans of more than 23,000 companies across the country. The company announced in April that by late 2022, employees will be able to add Bitcoin to their 401(k) accounts—if their employer allows it. Though this move was certainly a milestone for crypto, many analysts have been quick to point out that cryptocurrencies may be a poor choice for investors looking to build value over the long term. In early 2022, Fidelity Investments became the first firm to announce that employees could add crypto—in the form of Bitcoin—to their 401(k) accounts.

The Supreme Court announced its final decision on Roe v. Wade today, affirming the leaked draft opinion that was obtained by Politico in May. The court’s 6-3 ruling, which upholds a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, strikes down a landmark decision that has enshrined abortion rights across the U.S. for nearly 50 years. All of the court’s reliably conservative justices—Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—joined Samuel Alito’s majority opinion, while its more liberal members penned a jointly written dissent. advertisement “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion,” wrote Alito. “ Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” While the Court has allowed for restrictions on abortion access, it had long maintained the precedent set by Roe . This ruling will have a devastating and instant impact on … [Read more...] about The Supreme Court just struck down ‘Roe v. Wade.’ Here’s what it means

- A + A NEW YORK (June 23): Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to between 30 and 55 years in prison after being convicted of helping the sex offender and globetrotting financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, US prosecutors said on Wednesday. Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December by a federal jury on five charges, including sex trafficking, for recruiting and grooming four girls between 1994 and 2004 for sexual encounters with Epstein, then her boyfriend. In a sentencing memorandum filed in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors called Maxwell's conduct "shockingly predatory." "She was a calculating, sophisticated, and dangerous criminal who preyed on vulnerable young girls and groomed them for sexual abuse," they wrote. "Her practice of targeting vulnerable victims reflects her view that struggling young girls could be treated like disposable objects." Circuit Judge Alison Nathan, who presided over Maxwell's four-week trial before being … [Read more...] about US prosecutors seek jail term of 30 to 55 years for Ghislaine Maxwell
