The situation happened at the Hilton Garden Inn, located in the 14000 block of Shady Grove Road in Rockville, on May 15, 2022. Khosh forced his way into the woman’s hotel room and sexually assaulted her.

The woman’s husband was on the first floor of the hotel having coffee while he was waiting for her to meet him for breakfast. According to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, the woman and Khosh knew each other.

A jury convicted Khosh on Feb. 15 for first-degree rape, home invasion and second-degree sexual assault.

Scarlett Johansson says that OpenAI approached her to use her voice
OpenAI is removing one of the voices used by ChatGPT. Users found that it sounded similar to Scarlett Johansson, the company announced on Monday, and Johansson herself released a statement saying she hired legal council to inquire about the Sky voice and get exact details about how it was developed. "We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice," the company wrote in a blog post.
