Sex in the news

Sex Gone Viral 6: This Week’s Salacious Stories

Another round of sly, silly and some surely dangerous, sex/culture stories that hit the news this week.

Backpage back charges

Federal prosecutors have requested a court in Arizona to sentence Michael Lacey, Scott Spear and John Brunst for the remaining charges leveled against them for what has become a long and drawn-out case against Backpage.com. Lacey is the former co-owner of the infamous website, Spear and Brunst ex-executives.

In April the judge acquitted the trio of 63 of the 84 counts the men were charged with by a suit brought against by the Justice Department six years ago.

Federal prosecutors are hoping the court can still hit the trio with twenty years each on the remaining charges.

Prince Andrew’s continued trouble

Things haven’t been so peachy of late for Prince Andrew. Post his settling a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, where the young woman alleged the royal forced her to have sex with him on multiple occasions—when she was seventeen—as a result of Giuffre being sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, it seems King Charles III has been trying his best to disavow himself and the family from his brother

Charles just made inroads to have Anderw, and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson move out of their Royal Lodge home and also just took away Andrew’s private security.

No, that's not Tim under your sheets

As reported here, U.S. Vice President hopeful Tim Walz made a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention, where in part he promised that if he and Kamala Harris get in come November, "We'll build a country where the government stays the hell out of your bedroom!"

This is as nice to hear for all folks who believe in the Harris/Walz ticket as those who find their bedrooms already too crowded with old furniture, too many pillows and maybe a partner they wished wasn’t there so often.
