Scott Mills sacked by BBC

[FuriousInventions]

Well I wasn’t expecting this…

Scott Mills sacked from BBC Radio 2 over 'personal conduct' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckge1yn50y8o

I think there needs to be a lot more transparency and if the BBC are in contact with the victim why isn't the victim first approaching the police with the view of new charges being pressed?

Also Scott mills would have been 24 in 1997 so having a rwalrioship with a teenager (17/18?) certainly isn't scandalous but now the press are paralleling photographs of a 53 year old man with statements of a teenage boy. Not maybe the most ideal reporting at least.

If you consider all this in the context of a male perpetrator and a female victim, then there are countless examples of men being arrested, interviewed and released no further action 100s of times a day in the UK. Typically the police don’t take things to the CPS as there is an unrealistic prospect of prosecution - many times this is because there were no independent witnesses or if there were then they are not prepared to make a statement, likewise the victim doesn’t want to make a statement either and unless there is other evidence they can use to pursue the matter against the victims wishes, then they’ve got nothing to go on. It doesn’t mean nothing happened and it doesn’t mean the victim wasn’t telling the truth. It just means the evidence does not meet the threshold for prosecution and the police can’t take it any further.

I wonder if the alleged victim has re emerged now because he was triggered by the recent Huw Edwards drama?

My thoughts exactly.

I thought that today. I’ve yet to watch it.

The teenager was under 16…..

Oh look, a nonce at the BBC! Nooo waaay!

This.

Watching people try to defend this pervert is disgusting.

unfortunately the BBC garners the headlines but they are everywhere. my neighbour who was a prison officer for years told me child sex, porn, etc is the widest range of ages and careers. can be from 14 -96 and judges, doctors, window cleaners ( other walks of life available)

@BigBurrataor triggered by hearing his abuser on the radio every friggin morning!
