How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across all three outlets, with a bias spread of just 0.0 points. Each headline used the plain, factual verb "charged" and confined itself to identifying Westwood by name and former role, with no loaded language or ideological framing detected. The modest differences that do exist are purely editorial choices about which details to foreground: the Daily Mail specifies his age ("68") and provides cumulative context ("now faces 17 charges against nine women"), Metro emphasizes the vulnerability of the victims ("two teenagers"), and Sky News uses the broader legal category "sexual offences" rather than "sex assaults" or "sexually assaulting." None of these variations reflect a left-right divide; they represent routine decisions about which factual particulars to include in a limited headline space, all consistent with straightforward wire-style crime reporting.
