Motion text
That this House welcomes the complete exoneration of Matthew Kelly, actor and television presenter who was investigated by police for sexual abuse; defends the freedom of the press, but notes the appalling and prejudicial reporting by some national newspapers that held a trial by media even though no charges were brought against Mr Kelly; notes with concern that Mr Kelly was originally arrested by police publicly outside a theatre when he could have been contacted in private; and calls upon the Government to consider ways to protect the anonymity of those investigated until formally charged with an offence.
