So do you think it's ok for the media to present someone as guilty when the CPS hasn't even decided if it's in the public interest to prosecute them or not? Just pass the file to the police (which they could do with anything) then carry on as if they have been found guilty?
Why was it in the public interest for her specifically to be named, outed and interviewed when they admitted themselves that she wasn't the only one and wasn't the worst?
They should have a read of their own editorial guidelines, specifically 10. Fairness, but by passing a file to the police one could argue that a case was potentially in progress, in which case 7. Contempt would also apply.
