Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

An inquiry was under way into allegations of Satanism said to involve teenage girls at the Royal Manor School in Dorset. Three men have been arrested following the allegations, and are being questioned about supplying drugs.

The arrests followed information supplied to police by the News of the World newspaper which said a 15-year-old girl "sex slave" was forced to feed on the blood of a man who had slashed his chest, leaving a wound in the shape of a crucifix. The newspaper said she had been introduced to him by fellow pupils and that the sect's practices included under-age sex and the use of drugs.
