An HIV-infected man has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for deliberately passing on the virus to over 30 women after luring his victims via online platforms to have unprotected sex with him.

On Friday, the Court of Appeal of Rome found the 33-year-old accountant, Valentino Talluto, guilty of spreading the HIV virus to 32 women after deliberately deceiving his victims into having unprotected sex.

After 11 hours of deliberations following the trial, in which the prosecution asked for a life sentence, the court found Talluto guilty of "grievous and incurable bodily harm," and sentenced him to 24 years behind bars.

Talluto, who in September showed some remorse to his victims, had no reaction when the sentence was read out Friday. His victims, however, started weeping.

police beating
A visit to the LA county fair turned into a police brutality nightmare for Christian Aguilar, who was beaten and tased for doing nothing other than filming the police. Now, because someone bravely decided to film that nightmare, the police who caused it are being held responsible.

Three officers with the Pomona Police Department were indicted Thursday for alleged civil rights violations that occurred during the arrest of then-16-year-old Christian Aguilar.

According to CBS LA, Sgt. Michael Neaderbaomer, Officer Chad Jensen and Officer Prince Hutchinson pleaded not guilty to multiple counts, including use of force, witness tampering, and falsifying records, all stemming from the September 16, 2015, incident.

The officers allegedly wrote a false police report to "justify the use of force" against Aguilar, who was not named in the federal indictment. The report claims the teen came within arm's length of another officer who was arresting a suspect and then attempted to punch Jensen in the face, while trying to "incite unrest," reports CBS.

Ontario Law Society's self importance results in compelled speech

The legal profession fosters the myth that lawyers comprise a moral vanguard within society, with uniquely sacred duties

corporate people
It's been more than a month since the Law Society of Upper Canada (Ontario' bar association) told the province's lawyers that they would have to create "an individual Statement of Principles that acknowledges [their] obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion"-both "generally" (i.e., in their everyday lives), and in their "behaviour towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public."

Some Ontario lawyers have already declared their intention to ignore the new rule-a gesture I applaud. Whether or not Ontario's lawyers think their bar association should be acting as a shadow human rights tribunal, the new requirement makes no sense-because it serves as an enforcement mechanism for a non-existent mandate: There is nothing in existing law society rules that requires lawyers to become goodwill ambassadors for some arbitrary grab bag of civic virtues.

Treated like a slave: Cleaner sues over alleged abuses at Netanyahu home

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hit out at claims by a cleaner that she was treated like a 'slave' while employed at his residence, labeling the woman's lawsuit against his office as an attempt to extort money.

The prime minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, is the subject of a civil suit by a 24-year-old former cleaner employed at the Beit Aghion residence between August and September, Yedioth Ahronoth reports. During the month of employment, the woman alleges that she was subjected to abuse and humiliating treatment.

In documents seen by Yedioth Ahronoth, it is alleged that Mrs. Netanyahu engaged in a strict cleanliness code, meaning the woman was forbidden from eating in the residence and had to wash her hands "about 100 times a day."

It is also alleged that Mrs. Netanyahu asked the employee to "promise that during her work she would refrain from going on vacation," and told her "I love workers who run... that's why I do not employ fat women."

In the suit, the woman claims that the guidelines for cleaning in the residence were "extreme," reports Haaretz, and she was left feeling like a "slave".

JFK files and mainstream media denial

JFK assassination
The murder of President John F Kennedy 54 years ago has been described as the "crime of the century". If US and Western news media cannot discuss this seminal event openly and honestly, let alone investigate it, then what does that say about their credibility?

Such systematic media denial of reality inflicts irreparable damage to their credibility. How can they be taken seriously on any other matter, whether it is claims of "Russian meddling" or about the war in Syria, or the claims for Washington's aggression towards Iran and North Korea.

More than 40 people were killed after a fire ripped through a fireworks factory in a satellite city of Jakarta with bodies incinerated as people tried to escape from the back of the building.

"We found bodies burnt down to skeletons, some charred, some partially charred," Agus Margono, the head of operational control for Tangerang firefighters told Fairfax Media.

It is expected the death toll will be even higher than the 47 bodies uncovered at first with more victims likely to be found in the ash and rubble.

Mr Agus said bodies had been found banked against the back wall of the factory.

Bannon declares war on "phony culture brokers" in Hollywood who "turned a blind eye" to Weinstein

Steve Bannon, per an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, has opened a new front in Breitbart's war on the Left. After already seizing several victories in his war on the GOP establishment, Bannon says he's taking direct aim at the "phony culture brokers" in Hollywood who "disingenuously seized the moral high ground" when Trump's "Access Hollywood" recording was revealed but has simultaneously ignored "Weinstein's horrible behavior" for years.

"Hollywood isn't a new battlefront for Breitbart, it's the original battle," Bannon tells The Hollywood Reporter. "The fact it's blowing itself up isn't a new stage in the culture war, it's an inevitable one."

"They've ignored half the country's values for far too long and now these Hollywood elitists' values are publicly on display, and bankrupt," Bannon says. Adds Marlow, "Hollywood turned a blind eye to Weinstein's horrible behavior, now it's turning a blind eye to the conservatives who work there and who make up half its audience."

"These are the same people who disingenuously seized the moral high ground as they attacked our president based on a standard they do not live by," Bannon says. "Americans took their country back not only from the permanent political class but also from these phony culture brokers who have waged war against their way of life for decades. Make no mistake, we didn't start this war, but how Hollywood responds from here will determine whether or not it survives."

Poll finds British MPs don't know where money actually comes from

MPs never tire of telling the public 'there's no magic money tree' to pay for vital services. But it appears most politicians have no idea where money actually comes from, according to a new survey.

Campaign group Positive Money commissioned polling company Dods to give a cross-section of MPs four statements about Britain's money and banking system, and to ask whether they're true or false. Just 15 percent were aware that new money is created when banks make loans, and existing money is destroyed when members of the public repay loans. Some 62 percent thought this was false, while 23 percent responded 'don't know.' The Tories seemed to have a slightly better idea, with 19 percent answering correctly, compared to just 5 percent of Labour MPs.

Positive Money explains most money takes the form of bank deposits, which are mostly created through commercial banks making loans. The most recent figures suggest that 97 percent of money exists as bank deposits, with only 3 percent created by the Bank of England and Royal Mint as cash, the campaign group says.
