H from steps furious with eonline
Today eonline posted a article about a certain court case yesterday. However they used H's Image not the guilty guy in their article. It took several emails to them for them to remove the image and they have not apologised to him yet.
If that was me I would be considering legal action. Due to the severity of the actual case.

Last I read of him he was trying to adopt a child as well, god knows what this will do for that (even though there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to adopt).
Indeed plus a hefty donation to his chosen charity
His Official Facebook page has been bombarded with Trolls attacking him. I cannot believe that they are all stupid. They know they have the wrong guy but think it's funny to drag him through the mud.
As for the trolling, beneath contempt.
Its awful for him, he doesn't deserve this mess. The trolls idiots. I hope he gets an apology and much more.
If what you say happened, I'd definitely consider legal action. One email should definitely have been enough. It's like they weren't even that bothered about putting right their mistake. They're coming across (from your post) as a right bunch of arrogant gits.
I can imagine Facebook having a lot of homophobic idiots on it, and Twitter having quite a few homophobes on it.
They have now apologised with an editors note

Do these "journalists" even bother doing their research properly? Sometimes I really wonder.
Pathetic "apology" IMO
It's a pretty poor apology as they go but I expect H has his legal people on it so they have to be careful. Still, I think a line about 'we deeply regret the harm and upset this has caused H and his family' wouldn't have gone amiss.
re the abuse 'H' is getting, I suppose I should not be surprised at the sheer idiocy of some people out there, and not just the imbeciles who've sent him hate stuff on Twitter/ FB etc.
Reminds me of when a paediatrician was forced from her home after morons mistook her profession to mean she was a paedophile.

How awful! There really are some morons out there:mad:
Poor guy.
I agree It's bad enough that he is getting the abuse just for having the same name.
E should have the decency to do a full retraction.
I hadn't heard of this, I know the area very well, its a small village, lots of retired people.
I hope H gets more than the apology as it is.
This. It's the only answer.
I'd almost laugh at the sheer idiocy of those people if the whole subject matter wasn't so horrific..
E and the person whose error it was should be embarrassed and have apologised right away. Couldn't blame him if he were to sue.
I agree.....I mean...for Gawd's sake. There've been pictures of the actual culprit all over the news, all over the internet, and yet a load of morons take it out on someone completely different. I'm not surprised he's having a flipping fit over it. It's a vile crime.
