## Key points

- The High Court refused to block reporting of the allegations.
- The judge accepted the suicide risk was genuine and grave.
- PPT remains anonymous for now and may appeal.

## Summary

No new ruling or changed court position is included in the added coverage: the High Court has refused the celebrity’s request to stop ITN and The Guardian publishing sexual misconduct allegations. The judge said the claims could contribute significantly to public debate, while an injunction would seriously restrict freedom of expression.

The celebrity, identified in court only as PPT, says he denies the allegations. The judge accepted that the risk of suicide was genuine and grave and that publication could cause acute, prolonged distress, but said NHS psychiatric care was sufficient to meet the state’s duty to protect him. His identity remains protected by a reporting restriction, and his lawyer indicated he may appeal by 9 November; the ruling did not determine whether the allegations were true.
