Police reveal that Leeds footballer Jodie Morris has just been charged with rape, according to BBC News, along with an un-named london man!!! And they thought they had problems with Alan Smith?

This is what f***ing gets me about these celebrity cases...."along with an un-named London man" - why`s that? Because he`s not famous?
They BOTH deserve anonimity until proven guilty.

Earlier on they said that Jermaine Pennant had been arrested by police too. Then the BBC hastily dropped his name from subsequent bulletins

Bah, I have Jermaine Pennant in my Fantasy Footer team. Time for a transfer maybe.
Agree though, there should be more curbs on the media about how they report cases like this. Being charged is not the same thing as being guilty, and if found innocent they will forever have to live with folk thinking they got away with it due to all the media attention. No doubt all the tabloids will have pictures of `Jody Morris, Rapist` all over them in the morning.
