Yes, but what’s the point of reporting something that’s essentially fact free? Anybody could have made that up.
FWIW, I think I know who it is. The allegations have been around for a while. This is how the UK’s media outlets get around the extra protections for celebrities. The UK, sans constitution and with really squirrely libel and slander laws, makes it very difficult for the press to publish stories celebs/pols/powerful don’t want out, even if what’s being reported is accurate.
