Benedict Cumberbatch on his friend James Rhodes' court win

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has spoken in support of his friend, concert pianist James Rhodes, who has won a legal battle to publish a book giving details of sexual abuse he experienced as a child.

Outside court, Mr Cumberbatch said: "This man suffered abuse when he was a child and was held in silence then, unable to tell a world that turned a blind eye to him during that horrific period of his life.''
