Well, first off all the fact that an entire article was devoted to the incident is ridiculous. If any person on this board had consensual sex with whoever in the middle of Bowness Park and got caught do you really think the Herald or the Sun would even care?
The title of the article:
"Topless Woman Lured Perverts in Police Sting"
If that isn't vilifying him as a pervert I don't know what is.
I admit the article as bad as I first thought, but the title sets the tone for the rest of the article. If the title was
"Man charged with public indecency" the average person's perception of the article will change greatly.
