Two editors and one reporter have been arrested and the cops are conducting a criminal investigation. Sienna wasn't in court for her hearing but her attorney, David Sherbourne indicated that in 2005 and 2006 News of the World published articles that had intrusive and private information about her.
He mentioned she didn't know “whether someone close to her was leaking information or whether her mobile telephone was somehow being hacked into." He added, “Both possibilities were extremely distressing.” Talk about feeling violated! Essentially, she started realizing something was up when she missed a bunch of voice mail messages and got numerous calls from people who simply hung up.
