"Alleged Sexual Assault"

[edit]

The show had video cameras everywhere. They caught it on video. Anybody viewing the show live on the internet and 4:30am (AEST) would see it. It was not alleged. If I'm correct we should take the alleged out of the article title --Apartmento2 07:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Until convicted by a court of law, it should remain alleged. All the video proves is that the incident took place. It does not prove that what took place qualifies as sexual assault (it probably does but we are not qualified to judge).--Cspurrier 14:59, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, 'hear say' is not 'news say'

How about, Instead of "Australian Big Brother contestants removed for alleged sexual assault" Have a more accurate title "Australian Big Brother contestants removed for holding down a fellow contestant and rubbing his penis in her face". That much is undesputed.

But that's a bit long. The style guide says 'Headlines are as short as possible'.--Apartmento2 03:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
