Garnet Valley, United States - January 11, 2024 /PressCable/ —

Drug-facilitated molestation by a medical professional often goes unreported due to victims’ concerns they won’t be believed, or that they will be unfairly scrutinized, intensifying an already traumatic ordeal. With an expansion of legal services to include this form of sexual abuse, Kat Thomas of Thomas Legal Counselors at Law, and the Abuse Guardian, a national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers ensures victims are believed, and supported, and that they have access to an experienced team of attorneys willing to fight for the compensation they are entitled to.

“If you’ve been sexually abused by a medical professional, you have the right to an attorney that treats you with dignity and respect, and who will fight tenaciously on your behalf for the justice and compensation you deserve,” says Thomas. “We understand the implicit power imbalance between doctors and their patients and we are here to bring doctors who exploit their position of power to account.”

In New York, the statute of limitations for reporting sexual abuse by a doctor varies depending on the type of legal action survivors wish to pursue. There are different timeframes for civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions, and several different legal options available to victims. Thomas and her team help victims of drug-facilitated molestation in a medical setting understand their options so they can make informed decisions within the required timeframe.

Both Thomas and the Abuse Guardian alliance stress that any sexual contact or behavior between a medical professional and a patient is considered abuse, irrespective of the circumstances. They acknowledge the pain, trauma, and confusion victims of any type of sexual abuse can suffer and are committed to empowering their clients as they seek justice and compensation for having been violated in this way.

Thomas offers complimentary, confidential consultations, and strongly encourages individuals who believe they’ve been a victim of drug-facilitated molestation by a medical professional to step forward in order to pursue justice and restitution.

Alex Eala calls out fan for throwing cap after Asian Games match

MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala called out a fan who threw a white cap as she was exiting the court following her match at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. In a video circulating on social media, Eala was seen walking off the court when a man suddenly threw a white cap to get the Filipina player's autograph. Eala was clearly displeased by the gesture. She stopped walking immediately to pick up the cap and addressed the fan, telling him not to throw items at players and to ask politely instead if he wants an autograph. "Sir, you shouldn't throw things at players. You say it nice and I will sign for you, but please don't throw things, okay?" Eala said. (“Sir hindi ka dapat nagtatapon ng mga gamit sa player. You say it nice and I will sign for you pero huwag kang magtatapon please?”) Despite the incident, she eventually signed the cap and handed it back to the man. The fan then apologized for his behavior, saying, "Sorry. Sorry. Thank you, Alex.” TMT

Quite how far beneath their current exalted status will become clearer in the fullness of time, although the 21 months needed to reach a conclusion over the 100-plus charges levied against them would suggest it will be a while before the club discovers if it will be fined, stripped of titles, docked points, relegated, or all of the above. “I’d put them in the lowest league they can...

Alex Eala eyes LA Olympics if she takes tennis gold at the Asian Games

NAGOYA, Japan — Alex Eala is closing in on two goals. The tennis gold medalist at the Asian Games gets an automatic berth into the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A two-for-one deal. The Philippines' Eala reached the semifinals on Wednesday after defeating Joanna Garland of Taiwan 7-5, 6-0. Eala will next face Wang Xiyu of China on Thursday. The winner advances to Friday’s final. “The Olympics is a dream for me to be able to compete there, to represent my country," Eala said. "So, yeah, let’s see how it goes.” She took bronze medals in singles and mixed doubles with Francis Alcantara at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, and is a favorite for gold this time. In order to compete in the Asian Games, Eala had to withdraw from the China Open in Beijing — a mandatory WTA 1000 event. She could be fined $10,000. She said she's not aware of any official notice from the WTA. “I want to say that it’s easy for people to relate to wanting to represent their country and wanting to play these types of Olympic Games,” Eala said. She indicated other players have recognized the conflict and supported her. One seems to be Zhang Shuai of China, No. 57 on the WTA rankings. Eala is No. 18. “It is incredible that the two competitions are in the same weeks," Zhang said. “Some of the previous competitions have been like this. Last week, the Billie Jean King Cup was in the same week as the Singapore and Seoul competitions. “That’s life," Zhang added. "If two things are very important to you, or if they’re both very important tournaments, you can choose one of them." Eala has made her choice.
