I was disconcerted because on radio 5, it changed from "3 girls have been raped" yesterday evening, to today's "the 'alleged' rape" and I wondered what had happened to make them change their wording. I still wonder. Did they realise that everyone else was using 'alleged' and feel left out, or what?

Anyway, I agree with your comments, and if you do find a mechanism for complaining about it, then please share.
