Depressing yet utterly unsurprising that it's taken two weeks for any media to report that the editor of The Times has been arrested and charged. Any newsroom trying to claim they had to wait for indictment doesn't seem to apply that logic to literally any other arrest/initial court appearance.

🧵 Welcome statement from the Lord Advocate but the support of the Scottish judiciary is not the main concern here - this is a senior bench which has paved way for more progressive approach to sexual offences trials and, even in wake of ruling, are unlikely to concede more than they have to.
Rape victims in Scotland will be protected when giving evidence, says lord advocate
Rape victims in Scotland will be protected when giving evidence, says lord advocate
Supreme court ruled ‘rape shield’ laws to limit intrusive cross-examination may breach men’s right to fair trial
Scotland’s most senior law officer has moved to reassure victims of sexual abuse that they will be protected after a supreme court ruling warned that Scottish laws designed to limit intrusive cross-examination could be breaching men’s right to a fair trial.
In a strongly worded statement, the lord advocate, Dorothy Bain KC, said: “I would like to make clear that I understand sexual abuse inflicted upon women and children to be the single greatest challenge our justice system faces. Continue reading...

A GP has been charged over the social media harassment of a woman who was raped by his son. He is also accused of behaving inappropriately by a former patient and former colleague, which resulted in a complaint to NHS Highland. He is still able to practice as a GP.

People using the safety of women and girls as an excuse to campaign against marginalised people usually turn out not to care about the safety of women and girls at all. This one, involved in anti-refugee demos in Aberdeen, managed to avoid jail after throwing his then-partner down a set of stairs.

Hundreds of folk by the runway at Prestwick Airport awaiting the arrival of UK President Donald Trump on Air Force One. No big protests so far, but a couple of MAGA fanatics. Mostly a lot of locals wanting to get a glimpse of Trump.
