Stokes takes legal action against The Sun
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has taken legal action against an English daily after it published details about his personal life and family.
The Sun had last month published a story which revealed that Stokes’ half-brother and sister were shot dead by his mother’s ex-partner in New Zealand, three years before Stokes was born.
Now, according to The Guardian, Stokes and his mother, Deborah have filed proceedings against The Sun for invasion of privacy and recalling the tragic past that had been long forgotten.
The legal proceedings were filed before photographs were published earlier this week showing Stokes appearing to grab his wife’s face at an awards event, an incident she described as “nonsense”.
When The Sun leaked personal information about Stokes’ family, the star all-rounder termed the act “utterly disgusting” and the “lowest form of journalism”.
