Avram Grant - Right to Privacy?

[cite]Posted By: Red_in_SE8[/cite]Just because he is manager of a premiership football team does not mean he is not entitled to the same rights as me. If a newspaper published a photo of me leaving a pub, a massage parlour or a football match, and identified who I was, it would be gross infringement of my basic human rights!

As a Premier League manager, Avram Grant is certainly a public figure.
What he does outside of football is his own business. As long as it is not illegal. Was he charged with a crime?
Brothels may be illegal, but did Grant do anything illegal?
He really may have just gotten a massage.
He went there wearing a Portsmouth track suit and his wife can't be bothered about it. If he didn't engage in illegal activity, it is a non-story.

[cite]Posted By: Kap10[/cite]Is paying for sex illeagal? Kerb (almost spelt that Curb) crawling is, but I thought the majority of the laws in this country ignored the punter and penalised the provider of the service.

I'm definitely no expert, but my understanding is that it's the soliciting part that's illegal rather than the actual payment. If you ask "how much for x, y & z?" that's the point at which you get arrested in a kerb-crawling sting.
