A suppression order was first refused and then granted before the trial. It hasn’t been stated but I think it was because of the level of media interest. I’d bet his lawyer asked for it because he has a ’history of telling exaggerated stories and lies – including that he had cancer, was a professional athlete, and worked as an “oil manager” off-shore.’ [Guardian] that would have undermined his shitty defence.
The articles from before the order was put in place are still out there as are lots of tweets naming him. I wouldn’t risk getting MN into trouble by naming him on here.
