Glad to hear the High Court verdict today.

I understand both sides of the anonymity debate with regard publicity before arrest or before trial, particularly in sexual offences cases. it's a very fine balance between protecting someone until proven guilty and using publicity to encourage other victims to come forward. No one wants another Saville.

This situation, however, goes far beyond the anonymity debate. This was pure sensationalism based on the fact that the person in question was a celebrity and raises serious moral questions about the collusion of the police and media.

Really disgusted that the BBC announced they are considering an appeal.
