The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has nabbed fashion tycoon Peter Nygard. Nygard, 79, is accused of decades of criminal conduct, involving at least dozens of victims in the US, the Bahamas, and Canada. Prosecutors say he recruited and maintained 'adult and minor-aged female victims' for the sexual gratification of him and his friends over a 25-year period. Newser reports Nygard has been indicted on crimes including racketeering and sex trafficking. Accused of sexual misconduct by at least 50 women, Nygard's New York office was raided in February by a joint FBI-NYPD child-exploitation task force.
In a bid to overturn the presidential election, President Donald Trump has set his legal team upon courtrooms across the country. The team, including former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, has consistently made claims of widespread voter fraud--without any verifiable evidence. Now, former New Jersey governor and Trump ally Chris Christie says the President's legal team is 'a national embarrassment.' On ABC's 'This Week,' Christie, a Republican, said Trump's attorneys have had ample opportunities to present solid evidence of any voting irregularities. They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but inside the courtroom they don't plead fraud and they don't argue fraud. Chris Christie
Freelance writer Melissa Petro used to teach elementary school in New York City. She truly, madly, and deeply loved her work. Then, the press got hold of her work history in the sex industry. After a headline about her read: 'Bronx Teacher Admits: I'm An Ex-Hooker," she was fired. But according to Business Insider, Petro took that painful, humiliating experience and turned it into what she wanted all along: life as a writer. To deal with such a forced career pivot, Petro says it's important to stop knocking on the same doors that have already closed on you. After continuing to apply for teaching jobs, she eventually gave up and began interviewing for writing jobs and pitching stories. She also cut her expenses drastically, and contacted everyone she knew--even vaguely--for help, ideas, referrals, and contacts. Finally, she learned to learn again, but outside formal degree programs. Ten years into life as a freelancer, she's gone from $20,000 a year to $60,000 a year!
