    Jurors rejected the allegations of another woman and couldn’t reach verdicts on two others, including those of a documentary filmmaker married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

    wat

    a documentary filmmaker married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom

    Does she not have a name? Does the lack of verdict make her so fucking insignificant that she’s reduced to her fucking husband’s property? In normal contexts this pisses me off; in this context how the fuck did someone write this and more than one someone approve this for publication?

    Edit with their caveat:

    The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly as Chernyshova has, and her attorney approved of the AP using her name.

    Huh. So is Newsom married to a lot of documentary filmmakers or did the AP name her in the most fucking demeaning way possible?
