Read the original article on thesun.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Sun reports that the Prime Minister has not ruled out changing age of consent laws after Russell Brand's rape conviction and allegations against David Walliams, quotes Pat McFadden, and invites readers to vote in a poll. It attributes the allegations, carries Walliams's denial, and reports that a justice minister and Downing Street have played down any change. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“He denies any wrongdoing.”
The Sun puts Walliams's denial straight after it reports the allegations against him. The allegations stay framed as allegations, not as established fact.
“a justice minister dismissed the idea of staggering consent just days ago”
The Sun reports a minister's rejection of the idea. A reader does not come away thinking a change in the law is settled.
“Downing Street has insisted there are no current plans to change the law”
The Sun gives Downing Street's position next to the Prime Minister's remark. This keeps the reader clear that no change has been decided.
