This really does make me laugh. Just like with the Phillip Schofield situation there is no police interest in this because they have done nothing criminally wrong. 🙄

That potentially may be wrong depending on the images involved, if any.  

 

Under the Protection of Children Act 1978, it is a crime to take, make, share or possess indecent images of people under 18

TOTP is from the BBC

I don’t think he’s ever been employed by them.

Parents stand by story,  is the youngster 'back-peddling'?

 

Facts wanted by MP for the presenter to be named.   What about the bank account with £35,000 in it,  what about phone messages!

 

Has pressure been put on the youngter for the change of tack.

Either hush money has been paid or the youngster is annoyed at the parents for blabbing and turning the money taps off.

We just need to know who's paying for a top firm of  lawyers based in central London.

Not many people have got that kind of money just to make a story go away.

I would say either the BBC is paying or the presenter himself and both are trying to shut the story down.

Either way,  they can't claim that it never happened.  You don't spend money like that over something which didn't happen.

The youth concerned wouldn't waste money like that when he could buy drugs with it so he's been bought off.

It's a bit like "Who lives in a house like this".

Im sure i read at the start the young person was female

Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight last night referred to the victim as "male" and also inadvertently said the first name of the BBC employee 😁

At least we know it's a youth now for sure,  Victoria Derbyshire made a 'slip',  hope this won't affect proceedings.

I was up early yesterday morning & caught the 4am news bulletin from the BBC's World Service.  In that bulletin they stated that the individual was a "News presenter".    Listened again at 5am & they'd change it to "BBC employee".

The whole world and his dog knows who it is now, they may as well just come out and say it, its beyond a farce.
