The allegations against Dan Wootton are as shocking as they are serious. According to reports, Wootton has been accused of offering colleagues large sums of money in exchange for explicit sexual material. The claims suggest that he used a pseudonym, “Martin Branning”, to make these offers (via the Byline Times).
The allegations first came to light when Wootton’s ex-boyfriend, Alex Truby, claimed to have discovered emails mentioning the pseudonym on Wootton’s hard drive. Since then, several individuals in the media industry have come forward, stating that they were approached online by someone using the name Martin Branning.
These individuals, many of whom have links to the Sun, where Wootton was previously employed, have described being offered large sums of money by Branning, usually in return for performing sexual acts on camera.
Wootton’s Response
In response to the allegations (via BBC), Wootton has admitted to making “errors of judgement in the past” but has denied any criminality. He addressed the allegations on his GB News show, stating that he was the victim of a “smear campaign” by “nefarious players”.
Wootton also criticised the media for what he perceives as a “race to the bottom” on social media and claimed that “dark forces” were trying to bring down GB News3. He stated, “These past few days I have been the target of a smear campaign by nefarious players with an axe to grind. I, like all fallible human beings, have made errors of judgement in the past. But the criminal allegations being made against me are simply untrue”.

The Connection to Amber Heard

The Sun won their case because they had all the evidence needed to prove that calling depp a wife beater is not defamation.Their case was hard,especially since the UK legal system definitely favoured Depp.He lost big time.3 judges ruled that calling him a wife beater is TRUE.All thanks to Amber Heard her evidence and witnesses.This is where the “Wooton-Heard” story ends.She has nothing to do with this dude or the allegations against him.Stop harassing her for clicks,you look pathetic,just like your so called journalism.
