Artful Dodger: Good.

Charlotte Church and her family agreed to a £600,000 settlement today. The NI group started hacking her phone when she turned 16. 33 stories published were through her and her families phones being hacked. They even went after her mother.

"At her lowest moment, the NoW issued her with an ultimatum and coerced her into giving them an in-depth interview about her self-harming and attempted suicide. She felt she had no choice but to give the interview and was deeply traumatised by the publication of the story in the News of the World. "The NoW targeted Charlotte and her voicemail messages repeatedly, and in doing so unlawfully obtained her private medical information and details of her personal relationships with her family and friends. Even her first teenage boyfriend. They then ran stories about Charlotte using this information.

Their solicitors words.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers gave evidence at the Leveson Inquiry today...

""Emails indicate that payments to sources were openly referred to at the Sun," DAC Akers said.

In her written statement, DAC Akers said there was recognition that this behaviour was illegal, with reference made to staff "risking losing their pensions or job", to the need for "care" and to the need for "cash payments"".

"Some OWS protesters raped"

One rapist turned out to be a convicted sex offender. As to others.. you'll always get some who will take advantage of such groupings. It doesn't mean they became OWS protesters and that made them start raping does it.
