Charities are the first to cut someone loose!His charity has dropped him. The evidence against him must be compelling. The original case couldn't proceed due to the CPS, the police obviously had plenty of evidence.
I have a feeling that he's been a wrong''un for a very long time.
I’m wondering if there’s been some recent contact/messaging involving SM about this, evidence he can’t then easily refute.New updates in The Mirror, published just a few minutes ago:

It’s the bridge at Fleet Services on the M3 that was named after himGoing back pages on this thread, what’s the plaque that’s been removed please?
Agreed. This wasn’t a one off in a night club so I have no idea why people are making that comparison.No opinion on the sacking issue as we don't have much info.
I would like to point out that yes pretty much all of us have a story of snogging and or more with someone older, when out. That is hugely different to something that spans three years. So those who are forgiving that can get in the bin.
I mean differently to when the initial Huw Edward’s first broke, when it was one individual who was reportedly 17 and hadn’t gone to the policeBut there is a massive difference is there not between the risk posed by someone that acted with one individual twenty five years ago and someone who was up until his discovery (and afterwards) actively pursuing multiple individuals?
Between someone found guilty in a court and sentenced, and someone who was not charged.
Between viewing dozens of images of child sex abuse including toddlers and someone whom from the facts we have MAY only have entered into a 'consensual' relationship with someone who was fifteen
People are reacting differently because these are very different offender profiles representing very different risks and because not to appreciate this is truly to be part of the mindless, braying, almost always hypocritical mob
People are reacting differently because these are two different things.
In your first paragraph, are you actually saying that you might have committed a sexual offence without realising? Come on now!It makes me go quite cold to think of what skeletons may lurk in my cupboard. I can't think of any, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
If I worked at the BBC I would be feeling very uneasy. But any unease could be assuaged by telling them stuff you think you ought to have told them, I suppose.
Anna Brees: that name rings a bell and not a good one. Isn't she one of those who was running around denying COVID?
ETA yes she is. She's a fruit loop
I read this as being something the alleged victim had in their possessionThis reads to me like a separate allegation than the serious sexual offenses he was quizzed by police over in 2016, rather than a case of the original complainant going to a journalist in 2025, as it says that was with regards to "inappropriate communications." I don't think serious sexual offenses would be described as that.
It might explain the BBC's choice of dealing with this if they discovered very recently about the allegations in 2016, then also remembered the other incident last year when there was a different allegation about inappropriate communications which at the time they appear to have shrugged off
Then the BBC ducked uo and they should be open about it. I volunteer fior a children’s hroup and have to be rechecked every 3 years.I wonder if they DBS people when they are initially employed/contracted and then don't repeat the process. So if any police interviews took place after, they won't know.
There is an update service now for DBS, which wasn't always available. Maybe there was a policy change at the BBC and this was implemented.
