Brother Blades Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Just now, throbber said: Why is there a lawyer representing the young man if there’s no serious allegations being made? Maybe because he thinks his mum is a total shyster & he has morals? Could be any number of reasons he’s got a lawyer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To help with anonymity. The person may be thoroughly mortified by what is happening. If it is a male, they may not be openly gay, or gay at all.

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.

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?

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.
