Darren Sanders: Baltimore Ravens Head of Security Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman During Game

There’s more trouble for the Baltimore Ravens today, as Darren Sanders – the team’s head of security – has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman during the team’s December 14 game against the Cleveland Browns. TMZ has obtained a police report that details the woman’s accusations against Sanders. Ravens Head of Security Charged With Sexual Assault The unidentified alleged victim says she was working at the stadium on the day in question, and she was asked to escort Sanders to a different part of the stadium. According to the report, Sanders proceeded to “hit and/or grope her buttocks more than once.” The female employee says Sanders then “pressed his body against hers and kissed her neck and attempted to force her to grab his penis.” The woman was able to escape from the confrontation, and she immediately told several co-workers about the incident. Investigators say at least one person witnessed part of the interaction.  Sanders has been charged with a fourth degree sex crime and is scheduled for a hearing on February 9. 2014 has already been marred by scandal for the Ravens organization. Footage of star running back Ray Rice assaulting his wife in an elevator emerged at the start of the football season. The Ravens terminated Rice’s contract almost immediately, but the damage to the team’s reputation had already been done. Earlier this month, the team’s front office was widely criticized following an interview in which Janay Rice revealed that the Ravens “suggested” she apologize for her role in her husband’s assault. Sanders was involved in the team’s investigation into the incident, and he claims he attempted to obtain the damning footage that later leaked online, but was unable to do so.

Kendall Jenner Ends 2014 on Inappropriately Appropriate Note, Flaunts Bikini Body

Kendall Jenner has concluded 2014 in the most inappropriately appropriate manner possible. To wrap up a year in which she nearly shot to a level of stardom above half-sister Kim Kardashian , largely due to a series of revealing pictures on Instagram, Jenner has posted another intimate snapshot on the social media site. It features her taut bikini body and you can check it out here: “Dubyeeee 2014,” Kendall captioned the photo, which was snapped during her vacation to Dubai. Along with Shay Mitchell, Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, the teenager has spent the last few days soaking up the sun in the United Arab Emirates. She’ll return to the United States in early 2015 and attempt to pick up her modeling career where it left off… which was in a very successful place! Kendall walked runways around the globe this past year, strutting her stuff in New York, Paris and Milan. She has chosen to go by her first name only in this industry, making it clear that she has no interest in riding the coattails of her famous family. Even we have to hand it to Jenner for that decision. Along with sibling Kylie Jenner, Kendall earned a spot in our Celebrity of the Year countdown this week and it’s easier to see her rising even higher in 2015. We just hope she does it with her clothes on. 37 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner 1. Kendall Jenner: Naked and Smoking Kendall Jenner is smoking in this picture. In more ways than one! She was 18 years old at the time it was taken.

New Year’s "Possum Drop" to Continue in N.C., But No Longer With Live Animal

The tiny North Carolina community of Brasstown will continue its tradition of ringing in New Year’s Eve with a “Possum Drop,” but will no longer use a live opossum. Yes. This is an actual thing they do there, and there has been a court battle raging for years between the organizers of the Brasstown Possum Drop and PETA. The group will still be lowering a plexiglass box from a pole at Clay’s Corner Convenience Store with an animal inside, though the bonanza will be modified. Long story short: No live opossum to ring in 2015. “We’ll probably just lower some other form of opossum , a dead possum, road kill maybe, or possum stew,” festival organizer Clay Logan told the Wall Street Journal . Logan, added, “It is the Possum Drop after all.” Truer words have never been spoken. Last year, festival organizers had a live possum on the ground and its likeness suspended in the air, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy PETA critics. The animal rights group argued that the brass band and fireworks historically accompanying the countdown at the event were harmful to the critter, as well. In 2013, the state passed a new law, the Opossum Right to Work Act (seriously) but earlier this year, the Clay County Opossum Exclusion passed. That legislation granted an exception allowing for Clay’s Corner Convenience Store to drop the animal between December 26 and January 2 of each year. Glad to see North Carolina lawmakers are hard at work. PETA is fighting that exception as well, fearing “a zone of lawlessness” allowing those in Clay County to treat any opossum in any manner they chose for that week. A North Carolina senior administrative law judge said there is no need, however, because Logan has already promised in writing not to use a live possum. In the spirit of compromise, PETA said Monday it would be okay with the use of a previously killed opossum, such as roadkill, which is readily available.
