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.A senior police officer is at the centre of an investigation into a paedophile ring at a council-run leisure centre, it emerged last night.
The inspector, a father-of-two in his early 50s, is one of seven men arrested as part of the inquiry into teenage prostitution. The officer has been freed on police bail, and is suspended from duty. South Wales Police last night confirmed that the officer, based in Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales, was one of seven arrested in connection with allegations of gross indecency at Aberdare Leisure Centre in Glamorgan. The men have been bailed until 15 January.
