Question: A man approaches you saying he's the lover of an England football star and he has photographic evidence to prove it. Do you run the the pictures and stories?
My answer: It's the matter of privacy of the person in the pictures that we can't run the pictures and story without his consent. My argument is: we do have the consent of one of the two persons in the pictures. Isn't it enough? Besides, we can consider publishing the pictures depending on their content in case the pictures do not exhibit explicitly intimate scenes. The football star, in the pictures, might expose himself with his boyfriend in public places. Then he is not in his private place. Second thing, that we say the football star is homosexual is a comment basing on the pictures that we have. Then we can stay out of defamation. So, we can run the pictures and stories?
