Judge throws out Wayne Rooney prostitute libel case

A grandmother suing The Sun over claims that she had sex with Wayne Rooney while working as a prostitute had her £750,000 (€1.1bn) damages claim thrown out of court today.

Mother-of-seven Patricia Tierney, 52, denied the claim published in the paper in August 2004 that she was a sex worker at a Liverpool brothel used by the England and Manchester United star.
