City stockbroker who raped woman after drug-fuelled office party jailed for six years
A stockbroker who raped a woman after a drug and champagne-fuelled party in his City office has been jailed for six years. Daniel Green, 26, snorted lines of cocaine during a boozy Friday night out after work, before pouncing on the woman as she slept under a desk. The attack happened in the early hours of May 16 last year, after Green and his stockbroker pals had been bar-hopping around the City with the victim and her friend.

Video shows protesters outside Supreme Court in China's Chongqing
STORY: :: Eyewitness video shows protests outside Chongqing's Supreme Court :: Chongqing, China:: December 2, 2024:: Protesters were upset about a law allowing creditors to target former shareholders in companies :: Now Beijing says the law should not apply to those who sold out before it took effect in July A sweeping overhaul of China's company law took effect in July, allowing companies to hold original shareholders accountable for unpaid sums despite having already transferred their shares.But in a move that surprised legal experts, the Supreme People's Court went further by declaring old shareholders liable for unpaid sums after bankruptcy, even if they had already transferred their shares to new investors.That retroactive enforcement angered investors who worried about potential liabilities after they had cashed out.The protests, which experts said had threatened to turn into a broader social stability concern for Beijing, focused on who should be on the hook when private companies of the kind that once powered China's boom cannot pay their debts or go bust.
