Not at all. This is standard practice with reports of current criminal trials, whatever the alleged offence. It's simply that, under British law, to comment on the merits of a criminal prosecution while it's in progress constitutes contempt of court. The media can only report the facts of the proceedings, not publish commentary. (It's a different matter, of course, after the case in concluded). The law on comtempt of court is much stricter in Britain than in the US.
I was half-joking. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
