Harry, either to sell the "newspaper" or the person who reported it gets some media attention, but I also think the media hyp it up and should not unless the one on trial is a danger to the public. |

Down to the media, or perhaps the police, in my opinion. Why on earth should anyone broadcast bad news about one of their 'family'. |

I agree with Kitty. I do not read newspapers either and try to avoid similar things on the news on t.v. |

As a member of the public I would rather hear nothing about any offences unless a guilty plea is entered or, in the case of a plea of not guilty, until they are proven in court..............speculation is non-news to me. |

I think this has more to do with the way that the media report things than a government cover-up. A scandal relating to well known and popular celebrities is going to be more appealing to the general public than a government advisor that nobody has previously heard of. It's all about selling newspapers. |

Rolf Harris; Michael Le Vell; Dave Lee Travis; Bill Roach, to name but a few, had there names and alleged offences splashed across the newspapers and television screens the moment they were arrested and before they were even charged. |
