“I am Jane Doe #9 in the R.Kelly trial—his sentence means I didn’t suffer in vain”
I am Jane Doe #9. I am forever known in court documents as Jane Doe #9, and no one can take that away from me. It validates me and my story. But I didn't sleep much the night before June 29, the day of R. Kelly's sentencing for racketeering and sex trafficking crimes. It had taken all day to get from Miami, where I live, to New York the day before, and the following morning, I was dreading getting up.

U.S. must ditch ‘Trump method’ in nuclear talks, says Iran
Iran warned the U.S. to abandon the "Trump method" on Wednesday after the two sides opened indirect talks to revive a nuclear deal that was torpedoed by the former American President. But Iranian officials said they were hoping for progress in the talks in Qatar, which come after international meetings to return to the deal hit a roadblock. Iran agreed to curb its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief in 2015, before then U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the deal three years later. "We hope that, God willing, we can reach a positive and acceptable agreement if the United States abandons the Trump method," Iranian government spokesman Ali Bahadori-Jahromi said. He described the "Trump method" as "non-compliance with international law and past agreements and disregard for the legal rights of the Iranian people". The indirect talks — with the rival delegations sending each other messages from different parts of the same hotel — come just two weeks before U.S. … [Read more...] about U.S. must ditch ‘Trump method’ in nuclear talks, says Iran
