Case Study 3: A Man v The Sunday Times

• The parent of a 14 year old boy, who attends a London school where a student has been fatally stabbed, says that his son was approached by a journalist who offered him £1000 for a picture of the suspect to be taken from the school database
• The parent claims that the journalist spoke at length with his son and continued to converse with him via telephone and text
• The father has also said that his son had to leave the school, having been seen talking to the press by the suspects friends
• The newspaper denies that the reporter offered the boy money or asked him to enter the school to obtain a photograph
• However, they do accept that the reporter spoke to the boy and accompanied him to an internet café to see if a photograph could be downloaded
• No photograph was taken and none of his comments to the reporter were published
