(CNN)Alex Salmond, for years the leading face of the Scottish independence campaign, appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday and pled not guilty to multiple sexual offenses. The former Scottish premier faces multiple charges, including "a charge of attempted rape, 11 of sexual assault -- including one with intent to rape -- and two of indecent assault," according to PA news agency's reporter in court. "I am innocent and I will defend my position vigorously," Salmond told journalists outside the court. So what's wrong with UK elections in December? "I'm not permitted to say too much today, save that we've lodged a defense statement with the court. It pleads not guilty to all charges and explains some of the circumstances in which they've come about," he said.

Philomena is the extraordinary story of an extraordinary woman. Philomena Lee was a naive teenager, whose only sin was to get pregnant out of wedlock. “Put away” in a convent by an Irish society dominated by the Catholic Church, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. For three years she cared for young Anthony, working all the while in the convent laundries. Then, like thousands of other ‘fallen women’, Philomena was forced to give up her child as a condition of being released from the near slavery she found herself in.
