## Key points

- An unnamed celebrity is seeking to block publication of abuse allegations.
- Media lawyers say secrecy may leave young women at risk.
- The High Court will decide on an injunction next week.

## Summary

An unnamed public figure is seeking a High Court injunction to prevent ITN and the Guardian from publishing allegations of sexual misconduct involving girls and young women. Media lawyers say keeping the claims secret could leave young women at risk, while the figure’s lawyers argue publication would endanger his life.

The outlets say they have spoken to more than 100 people, including 30 with first-hand accounts, and gave the figure an extended period to respond. His legal team describes the case as exceptional; the media argue that any suicide risk should be managed by health professionals rather than by restricting publication. Mr Justice Nicklin has reserved his decision until next week.
