To wonder which BBC presenter this could be?

There’s a story about a man with the initials DW next to this story, so he could be the person involved.

He didn’t leave the BBC until 2021.

And Stephen Lawrence for those of us old enough to remember, but I'm sure @NellieJean won't let facts get in the way of cheap shots

It doesn’t say when he left. It said the incident happened 2014 and both parties have since left the BBC for unconnected reasons. So it could be either Scott Mills or Dan Walker.

It is not Dan Walker or Scott Mills, neither of them were given a news presenting job at a time when no-one is watching.

There is a name (initials TW) being mentioned on places like Tattle Life and X which seems to fit the criteria suggested in the article, but that doesn't mean it's him.

Surely not beloved of MN Terry Wogan 😮

The article doesn't say "high profile" or "household name" etc so the chances are the people involved are neither. Which doesn't take away from the seriousness of the allegations (if accurate) but does mean that speculation is probably pointless.

Because there is no statute of limitations in England and Wales.

It wasn't DW who settled it was the employer. He apparently wanted the hearing to go ahead, so that he could defend himself.

Nope. I think TW refers to a former Radio 1 presenter who had a sort of gangster/rapper persona. His first name is three letters long and second name is two syllables. He’s already been in the media a lot for allegations.

Somebody who has recently been headline news

Err there is for civil actions and employment law.

TW, the one with the multiple sexual assault charges, left the bBc in 2013.

Does the TV chef with a penchant for butter still present for the BBC? He was accused of bullying once over.

FFS, please stop speculating. You may end up making life hell for people who are perfectly innocent.

Ah there is a former Radio One presenter with those initials who left the Beeb in September 2013.

He chatted me up once. He starting ringing numerous alarm bells and couldn’t get away quickly enough.

Exactly. The fact so many people show horror when another mentions the Daily Mail, is hilarious. It shows Them up as ignorant and unwilling to consider different sources and asses the truth from sources they've read. Eg. The Guardian is worse then the DM for bias - but gets away with it because a lot of it is biased left wing tosh. The way the guardian supports men over women (a bit like Starmer), and shows antisemitism but never criticises the obvious flaws in other religions / demographics, is clear as day. If it was in the daily mail about other subjects, it'd be vilified. But its ok for hate speech against women, jews and white people. And there's no mention of the rise in sex crimes against women and girls, from a certain demographic. Why? The DM call it. The Guardian -no chance.

Good point. I can't edit so have reported my post.

I liked this guy, great presenter

That's true.

A key question is whether the discussion is about justice or compensation. The two rarely align.

Not so much completely false but I would say politically baised and unimpartial. There's usually an agenda behind much of the reporting in mainstream media outlets. The BBC isn't perfect but it's in some organisations' interests to get rid of it to ensure certain political perspectives are amplified. I'm always cynical when situations are whipped up in order to criticise a whole organisation. Most people working for any organisation are just hard working, kind people making a life for themselves. It's rare that the bad apples represent the whole ethos of a place.

There’s always people saying why didn’t the bbc (or other channel) sack them but unless someone is convicted or it’s ascertained at an employment tribunal, you cannot just sack people on what is essentially hearsay without due process. The victim needs to make a formal complaint and then it’s investigated (remember that false allegations have happened in the past too). I support anyone who has genuinely been a victim but tend to be more circumspect when they make allegations years later and there’s no other mitigating circumstances as to the delay (eg was a child at the time). No idea who this case is but leaving it so long often means that you can’t prove anything either way and there’s person accused can have their life ruined possibly due to false accusations with no way of proving innocence because of the passage of time. I do think we used to live in a world where it wasn’t possible to report such things but you have been for the last 20 years or so.

That’s true of just about every newspaper though. I mean, I’m a long-time Guardian reader but they are just as, if not more, biased than the Daily Mail.

and then they hacked Doreen Lawrence’s phone. Lest we forget photos of girls as they turned sixteen “showing off their assets”. Itsa vile paper seeking only to divide opinion and stir up hatred.
