ONE attorney is calling on the police to investigate the leaking of confidential information relating to the state's evidence against attorney Martin George, who has been charged with grievous sexual misconduct and indecent assault against a young female attorney.

Saira Lakhan, president of the Assembly of Southern Lawyers, speaking in her personal capacity, issued a statement on July 10, condemning the leaking of the confidential information, which names the alleged victim and reveals sordid details of the alleged offence.

The leaked information has been widely shared on lawyers' chats, and colleagues of the victim have been exposed to explicit details of the alleged offence.
