Surely they'd have been better contacting the police if they wanted to give a full interview and wasn't in any way a cash making exercise.

Brother Blades Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 If this plays out the way it seems to be heading, hopefully the mum gets a proper pull from the police & is charged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the two BBC “stars” whose names are all over the place are able to take some kind of action, because it’s quite clear the Sun knew it would start a dog pile. The editor just scented blood. 3 minutes ago, doulikefish said: Well this just got a whole lot crazier Did it?

There’s gold in them thar hills? Either money from hushing it up or money from suing the paper. Perhaps even double dip by taking hush money, then when it’s uncovered, saying you were manipulated into denying the claim and then suing the BBC for employing him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 So you’re telling me that the editor and staff of the Sun have potentially acted like total scum without any regard for potentially ruining people’s lives? Couldn’t have seen that coming. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their mother is a flighty, facebook maw, that could be anything from using CBD to a recreational habit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Sun seem to be backing away a bit. On bbc feed: We have just received a statement from the Sun newspaper, responding to a lawyer representing the young person, which disputes their mother's account of events A spokesperson for the Sun said: "We have reported a story about two very concerned parents who made a complaint to the BBC about the behaviour of a presenter and the welfare of their child. Quote Message: Their complaint was not acted upon by the BBC. We have seen evidence that supports their concerns. It’s now for the BBC to properly investigate." Their complaint was not acted upon by the BBC. We have seen evidence that supports their concerns. It’s now for the BBC to properly investigate." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sun had watertight facts, or even spoken to the victim, they would have named him and published the picture of his arse with no concern for his wellbeing, Even if there had been no money changing hands or even pictures sent by the teen, The picture of the male would be enough. They knew there wasn't enough to go in two footed without ending up in court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Sun has been sold a pup by a rogue freelancer. 7 hours ago, RH33 said: I thought the "family were disappointed the BBC didn't contact them for full interview" was interesting.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The most worrying thing here is that when the allegations first popped out, nae c**t was in the least bit surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMoore Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I've not followed this one too closely but was the picture doing the rounds on Twitter earlier completely unrelated? Was it an old picture or something, I didn't really check the source as I was too busy trying to find bleach to scrub my eyeballs with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun reported that the presenter sent a picture of them in their pants. So either the picture is false or an unrelated picture of is arse. Or the Sun never saw the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
