Woman files lawsuit in St. Louis County sex tape scandal, four accused

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:29 GMT

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - A woman has filed a lawsuit against four people over a former St. Louis County official's sex tape, seeking at least $25,000 in damages. The woman filing the lawsuit claims she was in a video recorded by Calvin Harris, the former chief of staff to the St. Louis County Executive, and never gave consent to recording or disseminating it. Harris abruptly resigned in June 2022, around the time the sex tape began circulating, per the lawsuit. The lawsuit contends the woman suffered "medically diagnosable and medically significant emotional distress," in addition to repeated humiliation and embarrassment. It also offers insight on a timeline and alleged motivations behind the video making rounds.

Gabby Giffords: 11 years after the Aurora theater shooting, Colorado finally responds to one grieving family

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:29 GMT

Since I was shot in 2011, I’ve dedicated my life to the fight to end gun violence. It’s a difficult road — one full of tragedy, heartbreak, and setbacks. But there are also victories that are equally important to recognize, reflect on, and learn from.The state of Colorado has been home to far too many mass shootings: Columbine in 1999, the Aurora theater shooting in 2012, the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in 2019, the Boulder King Soopers shooting in 2021, and the Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs in 2022 all come to mind. But the toll of gun violence stretches far beyond mass shootings, encompassing community violence, firearm suicide, domestic violence, and unintentional shootings.Perhaps in part because Coloradans understand the pain of gun violence firsthand, the state has become a leader in gun safety legislation. In 2013, Colorado passed a universal background check law, closing dangerous loopholes that allow individuals to obtain guns through private sales and ...

Interactive map shows which Southern California cities could be underwater in 2050

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:43:29 GMT

Residents of the northeastern U.S. saw firsthand this summer the devastation flooding can cause in a community. Unfortunately, scientists predict flooding will only become more common as the years go on. A map created by Climate Central, an organization of scientists and journalists focused on studying the impacts of climate change, shows what the future may hold for coastal communities as sea level rises.In the first map (below), we set the projections to include sea level rise and typical annual flooding (weather that can be expected every year). We set the map to include what would happen with "unchecked pollution" between now and 2050. That setting most closely matches the current path we're on, Climate Central said. Earth gets hotter, deadlier despite decades of global climate talks For luck, we set the bar to "medium," which reflects the middle range of possibilities predicted by scientists. Explore the interactive map below to zoom in on impacts around the country. You can...
