Surely in the age of the internet it is somewhat naive of the Judiciary and the Royal Family to attempt to keep secret the identity of the victim of the alleged blackmail plot for more than a nano-second? The current "gagging order" simply fuels public interest.

A quick search on Google with the right parameters produces the name which has been freely reported in the foreign press. Whilst I appreciate that the identity of blackmail victims is normally kept secret, surely that should not be so where it may involve the "victim" having committed an illegal act. Whether the blackmail case ultimately is proved or not, surely if there is a suspicion of someone procuring and using a Class A drug then the due process of law should be followed, regardless of preceived social status.

However, the giving or receiving of oral sex (whether by the same sex or not) is not illegal - merely embarassing if it does not involve the mother of your two children. This would surely not be grounds for holding any court case about illegal drug purchase and use in camera.

Of course.

My money is on the Duchess of Kent. She's seems a bit of a goer.

Haha.. it's even mentioned on this person's Wiki page! Just shows how pointless an injunction gagging the UK media is.

It's a fun little game searching the internet to find who it is. I remember a similar situation about 5 years ago when Ulrika Jonsson alleged that a "well known TV personality" had raped her. There was a period of a few days (before Matthew Wright blurted it out on air) when John Leslie tried to act normal on This Morning in the hope that his name wouldn't come out, but of course it was all over the internet and just made the whole thing more excruciating.

Indeed.

I've found it now.

How dull. I was hoping for the handsome one I met 10 years ago.
