Anyone keeping track of this story? I think this could turn into something far bigger.

Is shocking that someone is paying to look at nude photos of a younger woman, never heard of such a thing

Is it?

Seems like some appalling behaviour!

Can't understand why the police are not involved.

I haven't followed it that closely but isn't the accusation that a presenter has paid someone to pose nude for them and I imagine a bit more. It's basically what people do on only fans every day. Unless he has forced someone to do this not sure how the police can get involved.

When I was a kid, about half past three, the BBC was an internationally respected organisation. Dedicated to the arts, education and entertainment.
Now it's just like commercial channels that have infantilised the population.
The BBC has abandoned its principles altogether.

That was kind of my point, badly made.

If something illegal has occurred then its a police matter, end of.

They were 17 when it began and the money paid (amounting to 35k over 3 years) was used to fund a crack cocaine addiction. I’m not sure if anything illegal has happened but it does sound like someone has been taken advantage of by someone who should know better. And it sounds like the bbc tried to bury it before the family went to The Sun.

As an aside they haven’t said “girl” anywhere. It’s always “youth” which makes you think it’s a bloke and the presenter is gay…I can think of one high profile gay presenter who does TV and radio who hasn’t come out publicly to say it isn’t him yet.

It’s massively wrong!

However it stinks of the ‘ victims’ mum has run out of money and will be trying to get compensation. This apparently happened 3 years ago, so why wasn’t it dealt with quicker

I recall a thread along the lines of "What thread title would cause Clive to start sweating". I think this is a worthy addition to that list.

Not a good look for the BBC after all the Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris shenanigans, but why has the mum gone to the sun and not the police if she thinks any law has been broken?

Also the sun, who used to pay 16 year olds to get their tits out for young me and many other young lads to w@&k over

Possibly she was looking for Sun money to get the kid into rehab. If you've never had a drug addicted kid then you may not be aware just how expensive it is to try and get them clean.

She refused money apparently. Just wants it to stop and has repeatedly asked.

Not easy to get a kid clean if they have access to money

I've seen clips recently of narrative-driven, under-researched, juvenile BBC interviewers failing badly while interviewing Musk, Tate and the Belarusian woman tennis player.
Such a shame, the BBC used to garner such respect. It does still has some stellar presenters (David Attenborough comes to mind immediately), but I'm starting to understand the calls to defund it (If not agree with them yet) which 5 years ago I wouldn't have given the time of day to.

The BBC does some incredible work, also does some sh*t stuff. Is it better or worse than it was in the past who knows, bit like asking whether football was better in the past. I suppose the answer depends on your age

Good for her if true. In my experience she will get precious little help from anybody. The police just want to lock up addicts and GP's won't even see them and deal with their problems.

Specialists are few and far between, some try to help but many others aren't doing anything helpful at all.

I hear ya!

Same with mental health, could probably have manageable prison population if we actually took these issues seriously as a society

I Wonder what George Orwell, who worked at the BBC, would have thought of the current BBC's effect on society ?
OK, he apparently wasn't a nice chap himself but he worried about an organisation havng access to people's living rooms.

Good to see the Sun being all moral with this, not that long ago they used to have 17 year olds with their tits out on page 3

What do you think he would have made of it?

Didn't he only work there for two years during the war and was not particularly impressed with it at the time?

Should have worried about access to their bedrooms.

I’ve seen the rumours of who this is and the alleged photos of them with their trollies around their ankles.

All very seedy

However…. The comparison with OnlyFans holds up and, if consenting exchange of photos between two of age adults is the nub of the matter, then I see no criminal act. Somewhat sad and twisted but no law broken I think????

Anyway - I can’t get the lyrics of “whose sorry now out of my head” (allegedly)

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

The mother refers to 'he' therefore it's her son. She claims it started when he was 17 therefore it was illegal.
