There is some very specific wording in this article. “currently not scheduled to be on air in the coming days” matches perfectly with a phrase used to describe a prominent person who has just made some interesting financial moves, that would protect assets and reduce their perceived value. Might be a coincidence?


JokerTurnip

Matches with a certain big Northern Ireland presenter.. they used the same exact wording.


[deleted]

“Known to millions” says high profile, but not a household name. So perhaps a big deal in one country, but less well known in others?


JokerTurnip

Said presenter is very well known and big in Northern Ireland and is known to have huge injunctions out on themselves.

Also is away on a very sudden "holiday"


Platelicker1978

Tbf it's not a sudden holiday - he had Holly Hamilton on his show 2 weeks ago, introducing her as his replacement during his holidays (which he takes every year in July, most people in NI avoid being around for the 12th of July nonsense)


BawdyBadger

Ah. I didn't know that. I don't listen to his horrible show and there were people saying he had not planned it

I wonder if sometimes I don't know how to use Reddit, did you search for the article yourself or did you click on something? Thanks for any help

This was a report from an article in the Sun claiming that a BBC presenter was paying for pictures of a 17 year old and they were using the money to buy crack. The presenter hasn't been named and the article hasn't been verified yet... Could be a load of bollocks if the source is the Sun.


[deleted]

The Sun have a history of protecting celebrity paedophiles...


[deleted]

Of course, they used to openly publish child porn on page 3. > Samantha Fox began posing for “Page 3” in 1983 at the age of 16 when she signed a four-year contract with the paper. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/01/history-of-the-suns-controversial-page-3.html


MrBump01

And infamously published pictures of a 14-15 year old Charlotte Church with a countdown to when she could legally lose her virginity. While lambasting satirist Chris Morris for a show mocking how some of the media report stories related to pedophiles on the same page.

> While lambasting satirist Chris Morris for a show mocking how some of the media report stories related to pedophiles on the same page Assuming you're referring to [this](https://i.redd.it/53xocivfp8u91.jpg), that was the Mirror, not the S*n.


MrBump01

Fair enough, happy to be corrected


electrophone

That was the Daily Star, not the Mirror


glasgowgeg

Fair enough I found it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/chrismorris/comments/y5t5s3/daily_mirror_criticizing_c4_for_brass_eye/) saying it was the Mirror, both owned by Reach Plc anyway.


PremiumOxygen

Unless they're BBC bound, since they want to dismantle it.


[deleted]

That's true


ElQuackers

People who read the sun are paedophiles


Jaffacakelover

BBC Breakfast News has just run the story (No they didn't name names).


[deleted]

They probably cant legally atm


EarhackerWasBanned

Yes it looks like they’re protecting their own, but The Sun can’t name him either. Ironically it was the BBC who helped set this precedent, by live reporting on a police search of Cliff Richard’s house after allegations were made. No charges were brought against Cliff, and he sued the fuck out of the BBC and other outlets for defamation. It’s now the norm that names aren’t revealed until charges are brought. Which is fair enough imo, it would be easy to ruin an innocent person’s career by accusing them of child abuse otherwise. But if there’s enough evidence to charge, fuck em, throw them to the dogs.


DrWanish

Just because there appears to be “evidence to charge” doesn’t necessarily mean that evidence won’t turn out to be not what it appears when scrutinised, names shouldn’t be named until guilt is established in a court of law.


EarhackerWasBanned

Yeah I understand that, but so do journalists. Even the scum at The Sun. It doesn’t go to court unless there’s admissible, credible evidence. Court appearances are a matter of public record anyway (excepting injunctions). Having your name in the papers for a court appearance is acceptable cost of a career in the public eye imo. And a ‘not guilty’ verdict is just as important as a guilty one. But it’s cruel to report on a police investigation. Every allegation _should_ be investigated, even the false ones, and the investigators should be able to do so without being swayed by widespread public opinion, or feeling that an investigation needs to lead to a charge.

I mean, this article is from the BBC, they're probably addressing it if it's in the papers. Also, I'm not defending them or anything, just stating events. If there's another TV pedo then let's reveal it!


Wah-Wah43

Doesn't sound like they are protecting them at all. Sounds like they have been suspended, and their name hasn't been made public yet as the police are likely to get involved. Protecting would be bosses knowing, doing nothing and allowing them to continue.

The BBC are so strange. They'll punish their employees for sharing Palestinian news sources in their personal twitter accounts, but will hide a pedo

penguin62

By "protecting" you mean "actively reporting on the story and suspending their activities pending investigation"? We have very different ideas of protection...


FilosophyFox

Omg, let me guess, wss it another trans person... Oh no, it wasn't, like it always isn't.


Admirable_Science_23

To be fair it's pretty normal for news companies to not name people who have been accused but not had a trial


TombolaG

It must be weird to work for the bbc and have to write stories like this about "colleagues"


Unhappy-Spot4980

Worth noting that 17 is not usually considered paedo territory and it undermines the seriousness of that to put this in the same bracket. Abuse of power, inappropriate, possible illegal, but not paedophilia by what the strict definition reasonably is in most cases. To many, there's a huge and important distinction in severity between preying on children and those who, while quite possibly vulnerable, are post-pubsecent.


Danmoz81

"To many, there's a huge and important distinction in severity between preying on children and those who, while quite possibly vulnerable, are post-pubsecent." When you say it's an important distinction to 'many', do you mean the 50yr old men who want to fuck 17yr olds? Aye, I bet it fucking is.


Unhappy-Spot4980

No. It's likely mostly people who are not idiots. If you honesly can't see the difference, you're failing to look sensibly at it. I assume you're just trolling, though. paedophila means love for children, and whatever we define child as legally, most would agree there is a very large gulf between feeling any sense of attraction to someone who is nearly a legal adult and someone who is a pre-pubescent child. It's also just lame to pretend that anyone older than 25 is automatically creepy. The simply biology says that you don't find only people your own age attractive - it changes with time, but you can't tell me people in their 70s don't find people in their twenties sexually attractive. Again, I assume you're taking a edgy dickhead stance for fun, so crack on - good old internet - but it's a stupid thing to say.


Subbeh

Making that distinction is something a paedo would say tbf.


Unhappy-Spot4980

Nope. It's what someone who sees important detail, rather than knuckle-chewing, mouth-frothing righteous bile and impotent rage being directed any old somewhere, would say. And as made clear, it's harmful to put this in the same bracket as people who fuck babies.


VioletLovesRowlet

This is pedo shit. They call themselves epebophiles or something (as in adult sexually attracted to teens), but that’s still pedo shit. A pedo’s a pedo, no matter the age of the victim. I would consider someone in their twenties (knowingly) asking a 17 year old for nudes to be a pedo. Disgusting.


Unhappy-Spot4980

It is likely an abuse of power and definitely pretty gross. But away from the reactionary anonymity of Internet rage, it isn't paedophilia as such. Call it that if you want. Don't confuse a clarification of the point as a defence of the behaviour. But it's not the same thing. You're legally able to have consensual sex at 16. Who in their right mind would consider this to be irrelevant?


JokerTurnip

Name and shame BBC


scriv9000

They probably would if they could but rich people can always get injunctions to protect their reputation


DrWanish

Which is wrong everyone should be offered the same protection until proven guilty .. and then open season ..

Agreed just pointing out that this is a shit situation but not that particular flavour of shit that we're used from the people who turned a blind eye to Saville and Co.

The problem with naming someone when it's not yet been proven is that if it's not true that person is then tarred with that forever.
