Edited to say: I wonder if the Sun know that there's no such thing as paedophilia in Norfolk - it's all just good clean family entertainment up thereSun apologises for paedophile mistake
A national newspaper has taken out a newspaper advertisement apologising to a man it wrongly identified as a convicted paedophile.
The Sun is to pay damages to David Gazley, 40, of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, after printing his picture by mistake.
Last month, the tabloid paper carried a photograph of Mr Gazley next to the headline "Face of kid ban pervert".
It followed the conviction of another man of indecently assaulting two young girls.
Mr Gazley left his home and sought police protection after the article was circulated in Great Yarmouth.
The Sun has already printed two apologies.
On Wednesday the tabloid took out an advertisement in the regional daily newspaper the Eastern Daily Press, saying "Sorry David Gazley".
Freelance error
It blames an error by a freelance picture agency.
The Sun has also agreed to pay damages to Mr Gazley but the amount is still being negotiated with libel lawyers.
Its editor Rebekah Wade pioneered a "name and shame" campaign against convicted sex offenders when she was editor of the News of the World.
After the Sun published Mr Gazley's photograph, but he said he was "afraid to go out in public" and moved out of his home because he was worried about attacks from vigilantes.
Mr Gazley was not prepared to comment on Wednesday.
Good show!

Oi, not all people from Norfolk are like that. Well, maybe all the ones from over the east side are

IIRC, the name of the bloke wasn't printed, it was just his picture ie
Dazely's face with the caption 'Mr A Pedo, pictured today'
Therefore, his name won't be put on registers and stuff, but people may recognise his mugshot and think he is Mr A Pedo not Mr Dazley.
Still, a bit of a pisser, and I bet his wife wan't too chuffed...
To be honest, the tabloid that winds me up is The Mirror, as they are trying to be so politically correct and 'tell it as it really is' with their Think again campaign, that they were virtually siding with Saddam. Whilst The Sun was just having a jingoistic feelgood fest, going on about 'our boys' kicking Saddam's arse, The Mirror were condemning it all. Now that Iraq looks substantially free from tyranny, I bet The Mirror try and do an about-face and say what a good idea the war was... wouldn't surpise me at all, the hypocritical gits. At least The Sun were ignorantly patriotic all the way through!!!!

They say he'll get between £10,000 and £20,000 in compensation for his life being *ruined*.
Saw the bloke on TV last night and he was in tears - lost his job apparently - has he got more of a case against the picture agency?
The Sun used it 'in good faith' (lawyer-speak) and so sadly, won't be put out of business.

Also... (LOL, I am doing a CarZee today and being 
's Advocate!) is it really fair to screw The Sun over when some shit brain at a picture agency ****ed up?
If The Sun got it wrong, yeah, hang them from the lamposts. But the chimps at the picture agency got it wrong. Must have had 'pedo pics' filed too closely to 'peeps who definitely don't fiddle with kids'. Idiots.
I would sue the arse off the Picture agency until they went under if I was The Sun. Which you probably think I am now, anyway

Well indeed... Piers Morgan should be fired into orbit using some kind of super cannon device.. however, I think Yelland was a much more benign entity as Editor of The Sun than the current incumbant.
