THE HIGH COURT has ruled that Louis Walsh is entitled to discovery of documents on false allegations as part of a defamation case against the Sun newspaper.
Walsh is suing the Sun for defamation arising out of a story by the newspaper in June 2011. Crime writer Joanne McElgunn wrote about a Garda investigation into a claim by 24 year old Leonard Watters that Walsh had sexually assaulted him in the toilet of a Dublin nightclub.
Any information or documentation associated with McElgunn and preparation of the article entitled “Louis probed over ‘sex attack on man in loo’” must now be handed over to Walsh, the judge ruled.
Justice Iarfhlaith O’Neill also ordered the paper to hand over documents relating to any payments offered or made by the Sun to Watters.
Walsh claims the journalist met Watters at a hotel and offered him money if he agreed to make a complaint to the Gardaí about being assaulted by the entertainment manager and X Factor judge.
The High Court judge ordered any documents referring to the booking of a hotel room for the man to be given to Walsh as well as texts, emails and telephone records between Watters and the crime journalist.
Justice Iarfhlaith O’Neill said the newspaper publishers now unreservedly accepted that the allegations against Walsh “were false and that he had been completely exonerated in this respect”.
In January this year Watters was sentenced to six months in jail for the false statements made to Gardaí claiming Walsh groped him in Dublin’s Krystle nightclub.

HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
