The current state of play is a 3rd party is paying a multinational law firm to ensure the young persons story matches with Person X at the BBC, while The Sun has doubled down and said they've got the evidence, and News at Ten starts in 30 mins.
Regardless of who racks up on the News tonight things are getting a little clearer.
If the Sun has evidence the accused engaged in this relationship such that explicit material was exchanged before she was 18 then the BBC presenter is in a lot of trouble.
If The Sun has no such proof, even if the events took place as stated then what crime between two consenting adults has taken place such that the privacy of those two adults needed to be intruded in the public interest.
At the very least the Sun looks vulnerable in not printing the rebuttal from the alleged victim given that they had received it prior to going to press with the story.
So is Mr Blobby off the hook or is his crinkly bottom still twitching?
The parents were ignored by the BBC and there are also 3rd party lawyers involved, so my guess is the parents thought they needed some help as nobody was listening to them. It seems to have worked, as the BBC are now taking them seriously, and all that's missing is the truth which will come out eventually.
How to go from I know more than I am letting on, but this could potentially be devastating for the BBC if it plays out in a certain way to "it looks as though" and "my guess is in 24 hours.
Whether this person will be punished by law I can't see any winners in this. At its heart is an estranged broken family in an alien world of lawyers and massive corporations. Their lives are unlikely to come out better than before the story broke. Probably cast aside by the protagonists with little thought for their welfare.
Regardless of whether a criminal act has taken place, if there is truth in the allegations then it is not easy to see how the presenter didn't bring his employer into disrepute by his actions and his position is likely to be untenable in the way that Schofield's became.
The BBC will be under the spotlight for the speed and transparency it dealt with any initial complaint and the Sun for whether their agenda and dislike of all things BBC clouded their editorial judgement in how they handled the case, the pre-print denial by the lawyers for the teenager as was and the balance between the right to privacy and the public interest.
All speculation but I find it a really sad tale in the salacious world we now live in.
I got it from the BBC. The family contacted the BBC on 19th March and they never heard back from them. They only sprung into action after the Sun article appeared. The same article also prompted Person X to make contact with the young person by phone. However, they didn't mention who is paying for the multinational law firm that are assisting the young person.
I've ruled myself out and about to take BBC to court for not disclosing the truth , what it investigated last year , why shop floor BBC folk are underpaid and we grossly use takepayers money to fund shite behaviour and arrogance.. oh is it true over 100 higher paid folk at this dreadful organisation are being investigated by HMRC..
Was a great fan back in the day other than the odd drama, old series like Fast Show or I Player it's best left alone as its a total woke.
Sell it use dosh to make lives better .
