Broken News on celebrity injunctions

A special report from Larry & Paul

A celebrity is currently seeking a High Court injunction to prevent the release of serious allegations about his conduct over several years, including the claim that he committed a sexual offence.

As the case goes through the courts, Broken News looks at Britain's proud tradition of protecting its national treasures – even the ones who probably ought to be in prison. 

The celebrity in the real-life High Court case denies the allegations against him and says their publication could put him at risk of suicide.
