By 764 0

Two Paris police officers, have been sent to jail for seven years for gang-raping a Canadian tourist women (39), at a renowned Paris police headquarters in 2014.

Nicolas Redouane (49), and Antoine Quirin (40) are jailed for seven years by a Paris court, three years after the case was put for another trial. The case has got wide media coverage in France and has been debating sexual assault and the Me Too movement.

The victim, is the daughter of a Canadian ex-detective. She said that she was raped by three, in which the third person could not be identified. Medical examinations were carried out for the case, and it showed that she was drunk during the rape. The police officers had always argued about the victim’s statements at the court.

One of the lawyers for the officers claimed that the DNA traces are not able to prove the rape. But a guard on duty told the trial that he had seen the lady afterwards in tears, saying that she had been raped by several officers. Paris prosecutor and Ms Spanton took the case, which was initially thrown out, for re appeal. The two officers will have to pay the victim €20,000 (£17,500; $22,900) in damages.

Apple to patch privacy bug in video calling feature

By 999 0

Apple Inc on Monday said that it will issue a software patch later this week for an error that allows iPhone users to hear the audio from users that have not yet accepted a video call. The bug, initially outlined by Apple product and review website 9to5Mac.com, was reported by several media outlets.

Apple announced the feature last summer, but then removed it from early test versions of its iOS 12 operating system. The bug appears to rely on Apple’s group video calling feature. Apple released the feature to the public in late October. An Apple statement quoted in US media said that the iPhone producer was aware of this issue and they have also found a fix that will be releasing later this week.
