A celebrity accused of sexual abuse may soon be named publicly. The Court of Appeal reported that the individual missed a Monday deadline to appeal a decision regarding an injunction. Because the deadline passed without a filing, reporting restrictions may be lifted. This would allow The Guardian and ITN to publish the identity.
The Court of Appeal said it had not received anything from the star before the deadline of 4.30pm on Monday, suggesting reporting restrictions may be lifted, allowing ITN and The Guardian to publish.
