    Gardai hope to be given the go-ahead shortly to interview a prominent sports journalist about allegations that he had sex with an under-age girl.
    The garda investigation was launched last March after the journalist's daughter allegedly found text messages he had sent to the girl on an old phone.
    But they were unable to talk to him about the complaint as he was admitted to hospital for medical treatment shortly after it was launched.
    The journalist has now been discharged from hospital after being seriously ill during the summer and investigating officers are waiting for approval from his doctors to carry out the interview.

    Old news is old.



    From Wiki:
    Humphries was accused in April 2011 of having had underage sex with a 14-year-old girl following the alleged discovery by his daughter of naked pictures of the girl on his cell phone. He checked into a psychiatric hospital in Dublin and was awaiting medical approval to be interviewed by Gardaí. He was also under suicide watch. Meanwhile, a second allegation of a similar nature arose.The Irish Daily Star reported in July 2011 that Humphries had been taken to St. James's Hospital in Dublin following a serious heart attack while staying at St. Patrick's psychiatric hospital. He was reported to be gravely ill, mentally and physically, and might not recover well enough to stand trial



    Of course this is all allegations only.

    True. Wait until you get home then. No impure thoughts near the confessional box now.

    I wasnt fully aware of his health problems. I imagine that even allegations or innuendo of this nature are enough to end a career let alone what may happen if he were found to be guilty.
