I very much agree with the comments about these celebs should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. Just because the tabloids don't appear to believe in that principle doesn't mean that the general public don't have more sense.
That 'story' about Matthew Kelly's holidays to Sri Lanka is nothing more than an empty insinuation and I also hope the other allegations against him prove to be false.
I remember when I heard about the allegations against Craig Charles I was gutted because I am a fan of Red Dwarf, and those accusations were eventually dismissed in court.
Also, the science fiction writer, Arthur C Clarke - who lives in Sri Lanka - had to deal with allegations which were finally exposed as tabloid lies.
There is a big financial incentive for accusers to make allegations against public figures thanks to the methods of the gutter-press. One person, who is invariably involved in these stories, and I think we should be vary wary about is Max Clifford. He was the one who negotiated the story about the Hamiltons with the press, and symbolises chequebook journalism at its worst.
