[edit] Wright Stuff

Isn't The Wright Stuff IAN Wright (ex-footballer)s show, and not that journo? Its also not the kind of show that would name someone as a suspected rapist, so I think theres something wrong in the article --Kiand 16:58, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

You're wrong. It was Matthew Wright, and it is said that he named Leslie by mistake, and no-one has contradicted that. If you like, you can verify it very easily. Pcb21| Pete 17:30, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, got it confused with All Wright On The Night, or whatever Ian Wrights show is called. Channel 5 doesn't appeal to me enough to ever watch it in the first place, and considering only 1 TV in my house can get it (the one with a Dodgybox and a british card, I've never seen or heard of the show. --Kiand 18:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] acquitted category

You'll have to explain why you don't think he belongs in it. There is nothing in the category definition to indicate otherwise. Johnbod (talk) 20:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thought it was obvious. "Individuals acquitted in a court or tribunal of any sex crime, incuding rape, incest, sexual abuse, child pornography, etc." It clearly doesn't apply here. --John (talk) 20:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Er??? He went to trial on a charge of rape, and won. The article & sources are unclear as to the process, but he was cleared after the charges reached court. I thought that was obvious. Johnbod (talk) 21:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The sources, if you read them, are very clear indeed that Leslie was not acquitted but that the prosecution dropped the case. --John (talk) 21:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

They are not clear at all, but what is is that the case reached court. Johnbod (talk) 22:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Please either remove the category from the article or seek consensus to widen the scope of the category. "Acquitted" is a legal term with a clear definition. --John (talk) 22:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Exactly - try this link [1] Johnbod (talk) 22:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

and this from the Telegraph "Leslie, of Sheen, south-west London, learned on Wednesday that the Crown was to drop the case. When he formally denied the two allegations, the judge directed verdicts of not guilty on both counts." [2] Johnbod (talk) 22:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
