I was surprised how few people actually highlighted it on social media, and the mainstream media in the UK where he is from has it as a side story, I suppose he does live in the US now (NY city).
Not sure which media you are looking at but the main media outlets do have this as a lead story(BBC, Telegraph, Guardian etc).
The question that is the most interesting to me is why has this happened now after over 3 decades? Anyone could have attacked him easily many years ago.
