Among the victims was prominent survivor Marie Collins More (DUBLIN) — The Vatican says Pope Francis has met with eight survivors of clerical and institutional abuse on the first day of his trip to Ireland, which is ground zero for the Catholic Church’s abuse scandal. Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said Francis met with the group for about a half hour Saturday evening. Among the victims was Marie Collins, a prominent survivor who served on Francis’ advisory board but quit in frustration last year. She has since become a harsh critic of the Vatican, and occasionally the pope. Burke named several participants after they agreed to be identified publicly. They included two priests and a public official. Francis arrived in Dublin on Saturday and vowed to end the “scourge” of abuse. He said he shared the outrage over the cover-up of “these repugnant crimes.”

David Tinsley (Photo: Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office) More Are you “exposing yourself” if you are naked in your home? Police in South Carolina apparently think so, and they arrested a man in Spartanburg for indecent exposure on Wednesday. An off-duty police officer spotted the man, identified as David Lee Tinsley, standing naked in front of his window, The State reports. The officer was walking on the sidewalk in an apartment complex in the early evening and saw a man standing inside his apartment in front of the sliding glass window that faces a public walkway. The paper reports that the officer wrote in an incident report that he stopped walking and looked at the naked man. The man looked back at the officer while holding the blinds open, exposing his genitals. And then the story takes a turn. The officer claims he stood watching the man for “several minutes,” and that the man continued standing there holding the blinds open. Then the officer said he took pictur...

Liverpool (AFP) - Jurgen Klopp branded goalkeeper Alisson "not cool" for a moment of audacious skill as Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Brighton, although the Anfield manager quickly forgave his Brazilian star. Alisson chipped the ball over the head of Brighton's Anthony Knockaert late in a slightly nervous victory that took Klopp’s side to the summit for the first time since November 2016. It was a bold move and one which, given the disaster that befell his predecessor Loris Karius in the Champions League Final in May, had a few Liverpool supporters gasping anxiously. But the Brazilian, signed for a then world record fee for a goalkeeper of £65 million ($83 million) from Roma this summer, played a perfect pass to Virgil van Dijk, clearing up the danger and drawing huge cheers from the home supporters. Alisson also made a stunning late save from Pascal Gross that ensured Mohamed Salah's first-half goal was enough to earn...

(Photo: Scott County Sheriff’s Office) More Sean Small, an 18-year-old senior attending Scottsburg High School in Indiana, was arrested on Tuesday after he posted a clip from a video game to his social media page. The clip in question is Sean playing  The Walking Dead: Our World , which is an augmented reality game that animates characters into a real-world setting. In this case, players kill zombies. Along with Sean’s video he wrote, “Finally something better than  Pokemon Go ,” which is also an augmented reality game. You can play both games on a smartphone. Both AR games encourage players to explore their neighborhoods in real life and can utilize the phone’s camera to blend reality and the game. Another student at the school was concerned over the clip, which allegedly showed Sean’s characters shooting zombies inside the school, and not...

Winter is coming ... with a little bit of a delay. Earlier this year, rumor had it that “Game of Thrones” Season 8 would begin airing sometime in April 2019. The gossip started with a quote Maisie Williams allegedly gave Metro in the U.K., which she later denied. Still, fans hopped on the date and rally around it to this day. And, hey, a release earlier in the year makes sense. HBO’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, said the show would be premiering in the first half of 2019. And in order to qualify for the Emmy Awards in ’19, a series must air between June 1, 2018, and May 31, 2019. So if HBO wanted the final season of “Game of Thrones” to be considered in the next Emmys, it would have to air before the end of May. Alas, I’m here to tell you, our April watch has ended. 'Game Of Thrones' Season 8 Release Date Might Be Later Than We Thought: Exclusive HuffPost Bill Bradley HuffPostAugust 25, 2018 Waiting and watching. Waiting to watch. (HBO)View photos ...

An American doctor is facing time in jail after he was dragged to court for allegedly putting his mouth on a patient’s breast during a cancer-screening examination. The New York primary care doctor, Mark Jackson, 58, is being charged with two counts of sex abuse and one count of forcible touching. Jackson allegedly sexually abused the patient on September 15, 2017 while employed at the Star Treatment and Recovery Center in Harlem. According to New York Post , “The defendant placed his mouth on her right breast and grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis and stated in sum and substance: Do you see how hard you got me?” Jackson “betrayed the trust of his patient and sexually abused her while she was seeking a simple cancer screening,” said prosecutor Matthew McCarthy. Recounting what transpired at the screening to investigators on December 1, 2017, Jackson said: “During the breast exam, I only touched her with my hands.” He told investigators t...

Serena Williams will no longer be allowed to wear her skin-tight black catsuit at the French Open with the introduction of a new dress code to regulate players’ uniform. French Tennis Federation president, Bernard Giudicelli made this known in an interview in Tennis Magazine’s 500th edition, according to ESPN. The regulation is important because “I think that sometimes we’ve gone too far,” Giudicelli said. Giudicelli singled out Williams’ outfit at this year’s Roland Garros and said: "It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place." Roland Garros’ new rules won’t be as strict as Wimbledon’s, which require that players wear white, but will ”impose certain limits,” Giudicelli said. Giudicelli said that the federation will be asking manufacturers for an advance look at players’ already designed outfits for the tournament. Serena Williams had said the catsuit made her feel like a "queen from Wakanda" and improved blood circ...
