An Alabama lawyer and former state senator has been accused of groping and sexually assaulting an incarcerated woman and trying to coerce her into being his "sex slave," according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday. The lawsuit accuses Douglass "Doug" Ghee of sexual assault, battery, extortion, intentional inflicting of emotional distress, false imprisonment and wantonness. Ghee's law firm, Ghee, Draper and Alexander, is also named in the complaint. The lawsuit said that Ghee, 78, met with a 29-year-old woman in July as a public defender while she was incarcerated at the Calhoun County Jail, in the eastern part of the state. During the meeting, Ghee allegedly promised to use his friendship with the judge and assistant district attorney on her case to help her get a better deal, as long as she agreed to be his "sex slave" and pay him $2,500.
Right-wing wunderkind Kyle Rittenhouse walked back his plan to write in Ron Paul after some members of the Trump camp cajoled the conservative campaigner into backing the former president. "Over the past 12 hours, I've had a series of productive conversations with members of Trump's team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights," Rittenhouse wrote in an X post on Friday afternoon.
