Unnamed celebrity accused of 'inappropriate sexual activities', court hears
The claimant says publication would likely trigger suicide, while the media outlets argue their investigation found a pattern of allegations from more than 100 people.
- On Tuesday, a celebrity referred to as PPT sought a High Court injunction to prevent ITN and Guardian News and Media from publishing allegations of 'inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities' with numerous young women.
- Sara Mansoori KC, representing the claimant, argued that publication would carry a 'potentially fatal impact,' citing severe mental health risks and two prior suicide attempts following media inquiries in May and July.
- Gavin Millar KC, for the media outlets, argued that their 'wide-ranging and rigorous investigation' involved more than 100 people and revealed a 'pattern of behaviour' warranting significant public interest.
- High Court Justice Matthew Nicklin warned that identifying PPT online risks contempt proceedings carrying up to two years' imprisonment, clarifying the court will only decide if allegations may be legally published, not their truth.
- Justice Nicklin observed that accepting the suicide risk argument could set legal precedent 'almost without limit,' while a medical report stated inpatient treatment offered 'significant, but not complete mitigation of the risk.
