"Possibly he hasn't taken it forward because he would find it very hard to win the case"
An allegation has been made against Damien Green. In order for him to lose the case the accuser would have to submit concrete evidence that Green had watched porn on his work computer. If the accuser cannot do that Green would win his case.
The end of the matter and we can all discuss something else.


In order to be defamation, the claim needs to cause the regard in which the subject is held by others to be lowered. This claim would only succeed if it can be shown that the public (or the jury) believe that someone who views legal porn (if indeed he did) on a works computer is held in lower regard than a politician.
