Wootton has denied the allegations. In a statement, he said: "I am aware of the allegations that have been made against me and I категорически deny them. I have never engaged in any sexual misconduct and I have never offered anyone money for sex."

The allegations against Wootton are serious and, if true, would represent a clear breach of the Sun's code of conduct. The Sun has said that it is investigating the allegations and that it will take appropriate action if they are found to be true.

The allegations against Wootton are a reminder of the importance of ethical journalism.
