College President Resigns Amid Sexting Investigation at Coast Guard Academy

The president of Nichols College, Glenn Sulmasy, resigned after CNN revealed allegations of sexual misconduct involving several students he taught at the Coast Guard Academy. Coast Guard attorneys had recommended prosecuting Sulmasy in 2016 for conduct unbecoming an officer and willful dereliction of duty, stemming from sexually suggestive texts he exchanged with an academy student. Additional allegations include using his government email for inappropriate communications and making sexist comments. The Nichols College Board of Trustees stated that pursuing new leadership was in the institution's best interest. The Coast Guard Academy has referred the allegations to the Coast Guard Investigative Service, and a Senate subcommittee has launched an inquiry into the handling of a separate investigation into rapes and sexual assaults at the academy.

Unmasking Russell Brand: Exposing Controversies and Misogyny

Russell Brand is facing a new sexual misconduct allegation, with a woman accusing him of exposing himself to her in a locked bathroom in 2008. The alleged victim claims that Brand joked about the incident on an episode of his radio show. The woman never made a formal complaint, hoping that someone from the BBC would address the issue after hearing the podcast. The BBC has launched an internal investigation into Brand following multiple allegations of sexual assault and rape. Content featuring Brand has been removed by the BBC and other providers. Brand has denied all allegations, calling them part of "coordinated media attacks."
