BBC presenter taken off-air, for sexual explicit pictures

[myothernameis]

Another sex scandal looming for the BBC, and already some presenters have come forward, saying it not me.  Like Gary Lineker, Ryan Clark, Nicky Campbell, and Jeremy Vine, saying its not them.   On twitter any presenter who has come forward, because there name was mentioned, have threaten to sue twitter

This presenter is a well known and liked figure, on tv, but by taking him off-air, cant help but think, the public going to notice this.  There quite a few programs during the week, that I could think of, some live, and some pre-recorded

It also seems the bbc knew of all of this back in May, and only now taking action, and the cop from the Jimmy Saville case, has said the BBC need to name him now

Naming someone is dodgy without sufficient evidence / proof, then there is also the trial by social media that we are currently seeing for every presenter who happens to not be aired this weekend falling into the spotlight.

It would appear that something dodgy has happened here and that it does indeed need to be correctly investigated and appropriate action taken but through the correct channels

On the subject of sexually explicit photos of a 17 year old i'm wondering how explicit they were as that could well be a very wide ranging definition, good to see The Sun taking the moral high ground as usual and let's not forget back in 1983 they published a topless Sam Fox on page 3 with the headline 'Sam, 16, Quits A-Levels for Ooh-Levels' so they can basically fuck off the headline; scandal chasing vermin

Sure this can't be hidden for too long. It'll sneak out on twitter or similar.....was discussed yesterday on talk radio, the presenter and guest, both stated they knew whom the allegations had been made against. But remained tight lipped.
I don't watch much BBC so wouldn't know if anybody is conspicuous by their absence

And herein lies the problem, as the original post says there are 4 different people who have already had the finger pointed at them, even if it is 1 of them then another 3 have been falsely accused

[badsin]

Accusations, unfortunately, will continue to be made, until the "real" accused becomes public knowledge

Remember all the shit Cliff Richard had to put up with before he cleared his name. People are too quick to point the accussing finger and jump to the wrong conclusions

[jackdaw]

It all seems a it weird...not sure why parents contact BBC and newspapers, rather than the police.

[Coriniumstud]

I’m waiting for the BBC to send a helicopter to his home so they can show it live like they did with Cliff Richard, but then again it’s one of their own so they’ll just brush it under the carpet like they did with Saville

[Bertiebeenthere]

Maybe an MP will use Parliamentary Privilege?

You just wonder how much they know of what going on, and have some idea who the presenter is

[kingmg]

£35000 for a few pics imagine the amount of punts they could have had with people of legal age

Shows what's wrong with society and only fans

[bigden40]

Why the fuck is there a BBC investigation?   

If, as the Sun claims, the youngster was 17 when this started then surely it’s a police matter?  The sharing of pics of a 17 year old being an offence even though they are of legal age.

If they were over 18 then it’s not even a story.

Also ironic that this is the same newspaper that was happy to put 16 year old Sam Fox's tits on page 3.

Yes it is a police matter hence BBC have reported to them and the police investigation takes priority.

[catweazle]

The cluster of presenters announcing  "it ain't me, guv", is interesting.   Fair enough if you're a high-profile regular  TV face, it's curious how Nicky Campbell ( more a radio presenter than a regular TV face) is threatening to sue anyone who points the finger at him, and Nihail Arthenike ( radio only apart from a few appearances on "celebrity " versions of gameshows) joined in too ( sorry Nihail, your neither " high profile" nor a regular TV presenter)

[thundercrackerxx]

The guy selling pictures is a crack head and the mother rather than go to police went to the BBC and waited a few months before then going to the sun. Sounds like she was hoping for a pay off.
Imagine being paid tens of thousands of pounds at 17-19 years of age! Would set you up so well. But sounds like he pissed it all away on coke.

[SoapyTW]

Hey siri, show me 'BBC teen pics" please

[scutty brown]

So you reckon it's a bloke selling the photos?
I'd assumed it was a girl

Would be funny if the presenter was one of the BBC sports lesbians

[dexpunt]

Its pretty common knowledge on the net who it is

[RandomGuy99]

The articles all say "he" for the presenter so it's definitely a male.

[Blackpool Rock]

Well there were 4 names earlier in the thread and i've just done a really quick Google and come up with another 2 different names just from the few links that I clicked on

On that basis it's common knowledge to be 6 different people and we all know how reliable social media is as no trolls are allowed on platforms such as Twitter are they 

Think i'll wait for the official announcement which is bound to come out at the appropriate time when due diligence has been done

[myothernameis]

With all the male presenters coming forward, and saying its not them, then we can assume this presenter is male

I seen one suggested name, and his program has been taken off air, and if its him, his career is down the spout.  Unlike presenters who have come forward, and saying its not them, this presenter has not

[Blackpool Rock]

The articles all say "he" for the presenter so it's definitely a male.

Or definitely someone who identifies as male

Some developments , seemingly the young person was on onlyfans selling content etc, and the BBC presenter a paying client.

Looks like Little Weed has a couple of Sergei's creeping into her profile pic.   Saw her a while ago for a watersports session.  Fucking Hell!!   Told her she should change her name to 'Loads Weed'.

Since when did the truth get in the way of a good story in the tabloids.

[jackdaw]

The story gets stranger and stranger.

Simultaneously the BBC claim to have suspended the presenter but not know who the youngster is (so just suspended some guy based on a random guess??)

Maybe working for the BBC is like being in “Alice in Wonderland”: you have to imagine 2 impossible things before breakfast.

[David1970]

This is getting interesting, the tabloids have been hammering the BBC on this story, as have various politicians including the Home Secretary. I wonder if this all proves to be a storm in a teacup they will all apologise?
The Sun seems to changing its story from pervy presenter to only reporting what they were told by the parents, also seems the young person told the Sun nothing illegal had happened last Thursday.
l wonder if they young person will stick to the same story once money has been offered by the tabloids.
This story has more twists to come.

Although if he was underage he cannot give consent to dodgy pictures, if there were any - it remains illegal.

[timsussex]

If the guy is over 40 - and the 2 favourites certainly are, then virtually any contact - even if not illegal will be beyond pervy and probably career ending

[David1970]

Does the Sun printing topless photos of Sam Fox when she was 16 come under illegal, since the person involved this time was 17 years when it started?

[Landscape]

Does the Sun printing topless photos of Sam Fox when she was 16 come under illegal, since the person involved this time was 17 years when it started?

It would have been legal at the time of when Sam Fox had her photos taken.

Since the introduction of the Sexual Offences Act of 2003 it became illegal to indecently photograph anyone under eighteen.

[RedKettle]

You have to work on what the law is today not decades ago!!!

[Billy no mates]

As pointed out in plenty of other places.

How convenient for the government that had until 5pm today to hand over Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages or be in contempt of court.

But who’s talking about that now.

[scutty brown]

It would be illegal to republish those photos, or distribute them

[Blackpool Rock]

Just had the BBC Media person on the news, she's called Katie Razzall 

[RandomGuy99]

FFS there's a war on in Ukraine.

Child protection is important

But now the child is saying that nothing happened

Will the truth ever come out?

Unlikely in The Sun, meanwhile if this all turns out to be something about nothing will the accused presenters life and career ever recover  But no matter as Murdoch has sold a few more rags

Not sure what that has to do with this?  It has nothing to do with the government it's between the BBC and the police.

[Jonestown]

I’m sure the BBC would like to think that, but it’s for the police alone to decide if a crime has been committed or if further investigation is required.

[Kev40ish]

I’m sure the BBC would like to think that, but it’s for the police alone to decide if a crime has been committed or if further investigation is required.

Although up to the BBC to try to show they have acted in the interest of all concerned, which is probably a no win situation for them..

[daviemac]

The point is this thread is not the place for political statements about things unrelated to this event, unless I've missed something and she was txting Boris at the time.

[Jonestown]

Perhaps, but that shouldn’t take precedence over or get in the way of the police determining what’s actually taken place and whether or not a crime has been committed.

[Jonestown]

I’m not making a political statement, I’m saying the BBC is not part of the criminal investigation process, it’s the employer of one of the persons involved in the allegations.

Unfortunately doesn’t seem to matter anymore.. common sense doesn’t seem to be taken into account? It’s trial by the news networks and Twitter that seems to matter.
People’s careers can be ruined even if they aren’t charged with anything

With so many news stories I just don’t get the rush to judgement by so many people. Those who know fuck all and have not even grasped the few facts that are available come out with certainty over who did what. And often do not back down even when evidence emerges that contradicts. There is something to be said for letting those involved gather the evidence before sending some random person to the gallows.

FFS I didn't say you were, you quoted my reply to Billy no mates who I quoted and who did make a political statement.
