A social media influencer was kicked out of Top Boy star Micheal Ward’s rape trial and threatened with contempt of court proceedings after posting “inappropriate” videos about the court case to his followers.
The actor’s trial had to be paused when the alarm was raised over a series of viral videos from Snaresbrook Crown Court posted by Murad Merali, a content creator who boasts more half a million followers on platforms including YouTube and TikTok.
