Grim. I remember meeting a lot of men with that same attitude when I was very young myself.

Now my daughter's nearly that age, I see quite how disgusting it is.
My step son is 17 and although I do see him slowly maturing mentally, he is definitely still very young and naive. I cannot imagine anyone thinking 17 is not very young! Christ

Always makes me wonder what our attention was being purposefully diverted away from.

Its the drama, Mick. I just love it!

Unwise but not illegal strikes again. It's not his responsibility to stop people online going completely gaga, though.
I agree and I’m not excusing him. I imagine if he ever does release a statement that he will go with the exact same line as PS. At this stage though, I don’t see the evidence that HE has acted as badly as Schofield.

Charming.

When people use terms like "very young" this is usually in respect of the victim's status as underage and probably prepubescent. In this case, it is more than apparent that nothing untoward happened between the older man and the younger person and that that person was not "very young" when communications started.

If by "very young", you mean "much younger than perp" then I agree with you. There is a difference between the age-gap concerns and the 'victim' as 'very young', which they were clearly not. What would a 12 year old victim be to you? "Very, very, very young"?

If The Sun have got the evidence, they need to go with it - nuclear option.

I’m starting to think this maybe the case

So the presenter claims it’s rubbish. But the sun states they have seen evidence and have done nothing wrong in publishing what they did, it’s now upto the bbc to decide.
I have a suspicion that if The Sun are going to stick by this then they will name him. It's the only obvious escalation, and they don't have a lot to lose at this point, given they're almost certainly getting sued anyway, given the recent revelations.

Presumably the sun has given the evidence it had that this is what happened to the police?
I keep thinking…. So the sun have enough evidence to print the story and potentially ruin someone’s life but the police don’t have enough to open an investigation??
Doesn’t add up.

OK, so this person has, via lawyers, said its all rubbish. However didn't the BBC itself say others have come forward around the same presenter? So surely there's an investigation still needed and the presenter stays suspended?

I know The Sun are scummy but surely they wouldn’t push this story against a heavyweight household name if they didn’t have evidence

Have to say this is also my impression, judging by the actual facts out in the public domain (which, by the way, are very very few despite everyone and his uncle stating certain things as fact rather than speculation).

All we have to support that is the questionable words of a mother who went to The Sun instead of the police.

The lack of police involvement even after they were made aware is relatively telling for me.
Also why the Sun? Over any other paper? It’s not exactly known to be a bastion of justice!

Amazed at the amount of people making excuses for HE just because his public image up until know have been clean and family friendly. Reminds me of Jimmy Saville

I feel like I’ve been hit on the head or had some crazy fever dream these last 24-48hrs this shit is crazy!
So saying the child/now adult is telling the truth, the worst of it, is that some BBC presenter has a kink? The fallout is shocking and their lives are ruined.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m in my 40’s and there is no way on this earth would I go near someone in their teens whether it’s “legal” in the eyes of the law, I don’t care, it gives me the ick.
