STEWART WINS PAYOUT
BRETT STEWART was hammered by plenty of people in the media - none more than the News Ltd press. It was clear from early on to those who did some investigating that he was not guilty of what was being alleged and that the girl at the centre of the claims had some issues. That didn't stop the Daily Telegraph of accusing Stewart of sexually assaulting the girl. Well, it appears Stewart has been rewarded with quite a hefty defamation payout - the figure which has been leaked to me is $210,000. It sounds hefty, but no price can be put on the public scorn and anger he was wrongly subjected to throughout the entire ordeal. Stewart adopted a smart tactic of saying nothing to the media as the frenzy around him went on. Take it as fact he is still dirty on large slabs of the media. The money wont make him forget or forgive those who went after him without knowing what really happened, nor should he.

I would have submitted this as an article, but I have tried that dozens of times and never had one work thus far.
