Very happy as I can't stand him

What is the difference between interview under caution and being arrested and interviewed under caution? I thought in all sexual offences the suspect was arrested?

Just pointing out I said "serious sexual offences" as that is the wording the BBC used.

I remember him on Top of the Pops in 1999.

He joined Radio 1 in 1998 so maybe dates are wrong?

Why would you admit something seven years after a police investigation was dismissed?

But if the police found no case to answer in 2019, what's changed?

I think interview under caution is when you go to the police station voluntarily to be interviewed.

I had a relationship of sorts when I was 15 with a high profile 27 year old. It didn't get as far as sexual but not for want of trying on his part. In fact that's why he dumped me. I lied about my age and he thought I was 19.

There was also a footballer called Adam something jailed for a similar thing. I think he thought the girl was 16+.

They weren't right but they weren't paedophilic.

Gotcha re the term.

Yes - SM was interviewed in July 2018 and the investigation closed in May 2019. So the decision by the CPs would have been taken between those dates.

Possibly triggered by the Huw Edwards Channel 5 drama.

Well I'm sure we'll find out the truth in due course.

Wowsers. I guess they can't have double standards and many others gone recently

Anyone listening now, vine will be talking about it, inviting people to call in, vernon was speechless

You're joking?! Vine's doing a phone-in???

Jeremy vine.was interviewed on the steps (i think) of the BBC he looked quite gleeful about it with a weird grin on his face, It was really Strange maybe was devising his phone in.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1997 and 2000. The BBC says a teenage boy under 16. So the same teenager for who time period. Was he a teenage boy for all three of those years?

Sorry, not further than your post so someone else may have commented, but interview under caution isn't the same as being cautioned: it's where you're given the "Anything you do say may be used against you..." spiel.

@Passingthrough123nope, he mentioned it in that kind of handover vernon didn’t comment on that or the next feature he mentioned it was very awkward

The interview is the same but you can be invited for a voluntary interview whereby the accused has not been arrested.

BBC just revealed the boy was under 16

Gosh, you're right, it's listed as content on his show. (I did have to check the date, I've been thinking it's April 1st today). Blimey, that is quite something.

Yeah, Vernon clearly didn't know what to say, it was so awkward. It is very strange to do that as a segment on his show.

Too soon Jeremy.

Plus Vernon has been through this media scrutiny when he cheated on Tess with the messaging.

I taught with someone who was accused of grooming a teenage girl 15 years ago. Not enough evidence so no charges brought. Ten years on his school investigated it when they were made aware and the teaching standards agency felt he was guilty and he was struck off from teaching - I assume it's like this.

So fucking awkward 😭😂🙈
