Could we PLEASE have a thread that stays up?

Meaning don't name anyone, or any programme or ask for initials or hint.

I just would like to discuss how this is likely to unfold.

Oh, got who it is from the big wheel comment, but is this true?
Was the child female or male?

Now showing as on iPlayer but he's a big celeb with a big show and is fond of big wheel's.

As in he’s on a roadshow out of here?!

Well the bbc is saying new allegations were made on Thursday over and above the ones made public and as such he’s been suspended.

I thought the new allegations were that the presenter had sent the young person pictures of him in his underwear, or are they different to that?

How so? I'm talking about the name that got deleted not the newsreader so just check insta yourself!

Sorry quotes the wrong person but don’t think it’s who you’re thinking of

i can’t see any shows deleted in iPlayer. I think someone checked wrong if they think deleted then suddenly reinstated

woodlandtrees · 09/07/2023 15:25

What amazes me is that if what is reported is correct i.e an under 18 being paid for indecent images or even if not sharing them with the 'presenter' why on earth the BBC and the Sun didn't report the matters to police.

If criminal offences are described you report to police. Organisations have to be so transparent today. Let the right agencies sort it.

We dont know what was reported back in May. Only that a complaint was made

When the mother made the allegation to the Sun, were these the same allegations she made back in May?

And it still leaves the question of the actual young person and whether they made a report to police or the media? You cant make a crime report/statement third hand if you're not the victim.

Wenfy · 09/07/2023 15:28

US media’s saying the victim is a girl and the perpetrator is a male journalist who should have been on, on Friday 7th but wasn’t. There’s only one person I can think of who it could be

I don’t know what fhe new allegations are to be honest. But I’d guess more than that.

I just googled Wheel Of Fortune presenter.

Yes of course you can report a crime if you’re not the victim and she has evidence.

You can if the victim is a child.

Do it a lot in my line of work I.e safeguarding.

He's one of the ones who's denied.

Luckingfovely · 09/07/2023 15:32

@bellac11 or the new UK version with a top UK male presenter hosting it, perhaps.

AcclimDD · 09/07/2023 15:32

It's been taken down, so nil now to see.
Why would you think it was the entire Wikipedia site? 🥴
Surely you'd look at the prime suspects wiki pages?

I answere that poster too, but the fact is unless the new allegations are different there maybe no criminal act which us why it’s an employer thing Ie if it was only fans and he thought she was 18

but you can report any crime, you see someone beating someone up or nicking a car, of course you can report it.

Luckingfovely · 09/07/2023 15:33

And not saying I'm sure it's him - a pp mentioned a big wheel which he is quoted talking about in the press release for the new show.

I would find it shocking if it were him.

DogbertMcDogglesworth · 09/07/2023 15:34

Nothing that anyone does who works frontline, as in presenting, acting etc on the TV or radio shocks me any more.
I have no idea who it is, but it won't shock me when it comes out.
