Ex-News Of The World Hollywood Reporter Arrested

Deadline -- Police have now arrested James Desborough for phone hacking that took place before April 2009 when he moved to Hollywood to become News Of The World's U.S. editor, The Guardian and other British papers report.

The 13th arrest in Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting investigation could open an important new front in the scandal: U.S. officials would have to become far more deeply involved if Desborough revealed that Rupert Murdoch's defunct tabloid hacked voicemail messages of Hollywood celebs.

Judges said that his "uncompromising scoops" show that "no celebrity with secrets can sleep easy."
