Keep on guessing!
I was thinking along the same lines. If it’s a news anchor / journo they’ll have a desk to prepare stuff.“Desk at work” News desk?
To me it sounds like the BBC didn’t take her seriously, perhaps because the Presenter is too valuable to them and that’s the reason they didn’t follow protocol.If this is true, the BBC should have been clear with her and said, “the investigation will take X amount of time”. They should have made it clear whether or not they were going to keep her informed.

This isn’t directed at you Jrwen btw, it’s a separate point.
Usually when the press report on something potentially as big as this, it would only be at a certain point it hits the news.
it’s usually only by the last point that the press say anything, Which makes me wonder why the Sun have jumped the gun, and reported on something so early on into the whole process.
- Claim made
- investigations takes place
- Police informed
- person charged.
I think it’s because they’ve been asked to create a big story to deflect from the Tory email scandal.
I'd not heard about that new JH stuff, it doesn't surprise me in the least, I was talking about years ago I'd read that he treats women like dirt, is very arrogant and is not a nice person in general, when my son says watch The Wolf of Wall Street he's fantastic in that, I say no I'm not watching anything with that dick in it. .@TenerifeTigger
You were asking on the last thread about the Jonah Hill stuff. @Justhereforthedrama posted about it here, earlier today.
As for the BBC presenter stuff.
This could easily be a non-story, hyped up by the Sun, to deflect from the Tory email allegations.
But where would 'My Chemical Romance' be without him?GW is creepy
I think you’re bang on here. There’s the obvious illegality. But I think the mother went to The Sun, as s last resort. It’s a way to force BBC to actually respond or act. Especially because the mother has been quoted as saying, she doesn’t want money. She just wants her child to be left alone so they and the family can do what they can/need.Just following on from the last thread responding to @Sideboard Bob

For the police to get involved I‘d imagine the victim would also need to agree to speak with them. There could be many reasons he doesn’t want to, being on drugs he may feel he‘ll be blamed, or is worried the perpetrator will deny it happened in the way it did and turn it back on him and he’s clearly not in a good place. Or perhaps he didn’t want the money to stop, as without the money he can’t get his fix which to a drug addict would be unbearable. Clearly the mother is at her wits end and in her shoes I would probably do the same, especially if I couldn’t get my son to go to the police.
That’s such a good point.Just following on from the last thread responding to @Sideboard Bob

This has reminded me of something I was wondering about. Did the mother approach the Sun, or did they approach her?I think you’re bang on here. There’s the obvious illegality.
