I think the most likely reason for this story being 'released' is the sensational fact that it includes the name 'Barry George'.
What could get the hacks in a froth more quickly than a man recently acquitted on appeal of murdering a female TV journalist, being accused of harassing a female TV journalist?

I was looking at it from the journalist's view point who has taken time off work since Tuesday (Im assuming because of this). Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is guilty of anything, just saying that if they are gonna make allegations against someone who has just been acquited, I'd have thought it would be based on more than the fact that he asked for an interview copy.
