Kiwi Dan Wootton suspended by Daily MailOnline as cash-for-sex-images allegations investigated
The Herald says The Daily Mail’s MailOnline has suspended New Zealand journalist Dan Wootton from his twice-weekly column as the company investigates allegations he offered colleagues money for sexual images.
The GB News presenter, who has written a regular column for MailOnline since 2021, was alleged to have inappropriately offered colleagues hefty sums of money in exchange for filming themselves carrying out sex acts, according to his ex-boyfriend Alex Truby.
Truby claimed Wootton used a pseudonym “Martin Branning” when allegedly making inappropriate approaches.
A spokesperson for MailOnline publisher DMG Media said on Thursday: “We are continuing to consider a series of allegations which Dan Wootton – who has written columns for MailOnline since 2021 as one of several outside freelance contributors – has strenuously denied.
