Rapper, Too Short being investigated for rape

American rapper, Todd Anthony Shaw, who is simply known as Too Short, is being investigated in a rape case. According to a TMZ report, a woman whose name remains unknown, claims on November 1, 2016, she was at a residence in LA with the rapper, when he allegedly sexually attacked her.
She told the police that she was a virgin and gave no form of consent when the incident happened.
Sources close to Too Short told TMZ that the West Coast rapper never had sexual contact with the alleged victim. They said she was on his record label but was eventually dropped, which led to the made up allegation.
The sources also disclosed that the victim tried getting back to the label, and Short thinks this as a form of extortion. However, the rape case is still being investigated by the police.

The former Chelsea, Liverpool and current Atletico Madrid striker is now in a stable condition after collapsing and losing consciousness during a clash of heads in Atletico Madrid's match with Deportivo La Coruna on Thursday night.



Torres, 32, fell face down on the pitch in the 85th minute after challenging for the ball with Deportivo's Alex Bergantinos and required urgent treatment which resulted in Torres being carried off the pitch on a stretcher with a neck brace.


His club, fearful that he may have developed a serious spine or head injury immediately rushed him to the Intensive care Unit, but this morning images of him leaving the hospital have flooded social media, with the club confirming he's now stable.






'Good news (1/2) @Torres has undergone a cranial and cervical CT. There are no alterations nor traumatic injuries'.. his club, Atletico Madrid tweeted.
'Good news (2/2)@Torres, conscious and lucid, he will spend the night in hospital for observation as per medical protocol.'

Under-18 rape victims can now be married off to rapists? New law shocks Human Rights groups

Under a new law called 'Child Marriage Restraint Bill 2017', passed in Bangladesh this week, parents can now marry off their children who are under 18 years of age under 'special circumstances'.

The new legislation was approved by a voice vote on Monday and gives parents the right to get a court order to allow their children under 18 years marry anyone if it is the best interests of the parents under 'special circumstances'.
According to the new law, there is no minimum age for when these 'special considerations or circumstances' can apply, nor any definition of what "best interests" could mean, but human rights groups are concerned the law could lead to rape victims or impregnated minors being married to their sex abusers.


"Many opportunists may try their luck in between the shortcomings of this law," Nur Khan Liton, a spokesman for the Child Rights Advocacy Coalition in Bangladesh, told CNN.
"It (talks) about parents' consent for the marriage. Where does it speak about the girl's interest?"
Human Rights Watch has criticized new law, calling it a "devastating step that encourages child marriage.", given that Bangladesh has the highest rate of child marriage in Asia.


"The focus now must be on containing the damage caused by Bangladesh legalizing child marriage," said Heather Barr, senior researcher on women's rights at Human Rights Watch.
"Nothing can change the fact that this is a destructive law. But carefully drafted regulations can mitigate some of the harm to girls."
