'I Was Researching Film Role' Says John Leslie
 

Beleaguered British TV presenter John Leslie has at last spoken out about the
rape allegations that have threatened to end his career.

In an exclusive interview he told urbanreflex.com: "These allegations are totally
ridiculous. I am utterly, utterly disgusted by some of the things that have
printed about me. It's a disgrace."
 

Leslie (Urbanreflex.com would like to make clear that this picture of John Leslie
just happens to the very first one we found. It is not in any way meant to
imply that Leslie is of dubious character or in any way suspicious)
 

Leslie told us: "I remember the night in question and the truth is, at the time, I
was up for a part in a film in which I had to play a lecher who likes to force
women to have sex. So obviously, to understand the character, I started
behaving like a lecher who forced women to have sex. I explained this to Ulrika
and the other twenty or so women that I was having relationships with at the
time."

In response to recent pictures showing him apparently snorting cocaine,
Leslie responded: "Yes, that was in the script too."

Leslie refused to name the film he was rehearsing for, but claims that after 12
years of thorough research, he should now get the part.

He said: "If the last few weeks have proved anything, it's that I'm the right
man for the job. So guys, if you're reading this, please contact my agent."

John Noakes was unavailable for comment.
