'That is not how these matters should be investigated'
It was revealed on Friday in The Sun newspaper that a top BBC star has been taken off air after ‘paying teenager for sexual pictures’.
So on Saturday, I called for the presenter to be suspended and then yesterday the BBC after having sat on a ticking time-bomb finally suspended him.released a statement saying they were working as fast as possible “to establish the facts in order to properly inform appropriate steps”. We know it was not reported to the police as that only happened yesterday. And what did they do to protect both the organisation, the individual himself and very significantly children and young people? It seems very little if anything.Because if they were, then the reports that the presenter contacted the young person concerned after the story appeared in The Sun, which would appear to be an attempt to get the story quashed, makes for very worrying reading.
What followed was the BBC pressing its own self-destruct button and a perfect example of how not to handle a crisis.
