Former Sun editor convicted over Adam Johnson victim picture

Former Sun editor convicted over Adam Johnson victim picture | UK news | The Guardian: "Dinsmore, who was promoted to chief operating officer of the paper’s publisher, News UK, in September 2015, was found guilty of breaching the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 following a trial on Monday.

Under the legislation, victims are granted lifelong anonymity and the press is prohibited from publishing any details that might lead to identification.

The judge ruled that, although the Sun had altered the photo to disguise the girl’s identity, it could have left her identifiable by people familiar with her Facebook profile." 'via Blog this'
