Sexual harassment "The Witch Hunt Goes In Overdrive":Now Richard Branson Has Been Accused of Sexual Assault - by Devon Ivie

Richard Branson has become the latest prominent figure in the industry to be accused of sexual assault. Speaking with The Sun, Antonia Jenae — a backup-singer for British songstress Joss Stone — claims the Virgin CEO assaulted her during a party on his private island in the British Virgin Islands in 2010, during which he “motorboated” her in her cleavage while making engine noises. “His behaviour was disgusting. I feel like it was sexual assault,” she said. “We were by the bar and he was saying bye to everyone. He came up to me and put his face in my breasts. He went ‘brrrrrr’ and just walked away. It was surreal, totally out of the blue. Joss and I were like, ‘What the hell was that?!’ Everyone was wondering why I wasn’t angry because I’m usually a firebrand. But I was just too shocked.”

Although Jenae claims many people witnessed the assault, Branson’s representatives have issued an statement that denies any wrongdoing on his part. “Everyone appeared to enjoy their time,” the statement reads, according to The Telegraph. “Richard has no recollection of this matter. Neither do his family and friends who were with him at the time. There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Richard apologises if anyone felt that way.”

Note EU-Digest: Come on now, this is becoming ridiculous - Branson not only had his family around him, during that so-called "incident", but it is also a well known fact that he is not known as a "women chaser", or a so-called "sexual predator".   As a matter of fact he is known by many as a real family man. On their 4Oth anniversary he wrote to his wife: 'Thank you for making life extraordinary. Your eyes are still as magic as they were 40 years ago' . Once again, the corporate controlled media, which is in business to make a profit, whatever it takes, is going on steroids in blowing up these stories out of proportion.

Turkey- the Erdogan's Kangaroo Court - Riot police clash with protesters at Turkish military coup trial - by Gul Tuysuz and Ivan Watson,

Demonstrators protest Erdogan's Kangaroo court

Riot police gassed and hosed down hundreds of demonstrators with water cannons outside a courthouse where one of Turkey's most lengthy and contentious trials is approaching its conclusion.

Crowds of protesters began arriving early Monday at the Silivri Prison Complex, which houses the 13th Istanbul High Criminal Court. This judicial body has been hearing one of Turkey's most polarizing and high-profile court cases.

The trials have been going on for nearly four years. Prosecutors accuse hundreds of suspects of being part of a covert ultranationalist organization that wants to overthrow the government and sow unrest.

Police initially barricaded the courthouse yard. When demonstrators tried to break through the barricades, police teargassed them and hosed them down with pressurized water cannons. Protesters were shown on live Turkish television broadcasts hurling bottles and rocks at the security forces.

The clashes continued for hours under a heavy downpour.

Protestors chanted "Government resign," "We'll die but we won't go back" and "We want justice." The crowds also sang the Turkish national anthem while waving flags showing the face of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic.

The demonstrators included many youth groups, members of the leftist Turkish Workers' Party, and parliamentarians from the main secular opposition party, the Republican People's Party, known as the CHP.

"What is going on inside is not a court case, it is a comedic farce," said Muharrem Ince, a parliamentarian from the CHP, speaking to the crowd gathered outside the courthouse.
