BBC presenter suspended over paying for sexual pics.

[Calamity1971]

Won't be seen on screen for the next few days? I presume it must be a news presenter. Whoever it is, looks like some poor man's life is in a downward spiral.

Yeh, the then 17 year old who is addicted to crack after sending some sleazy BBC presenter pics. My apologies if my original post didn't make sense.

Nothing in the article says that it’s a male presenter. Of course it will be though..!

It says it in one of the first paragraphs but doesn't say the gender of the then teenager.

Pretty much the very first line states that it is!

Do you think they are addicted to crack cos of the BBC presenter?

 

[platinumsage]

I think it's a radio presenter, there's one taking "a much needed break" at the moment.

Hardly a top star though.

 

[Elpenor]

LBC says TV star but a quick google of media websites shows language such as airwaves

Don’t listen to BBC radio tbh so no idea who the presenters are

Twitter is naming the radio and TV presenter.

Mum of the youngster said HE. He went from happy 17 year old to having massive crack habit that the bbc nonce sorry star effectively paid for.

All looks a bit radio 3.

Never heard of him anyway.

Where?

 

[TopCat]

Where?

BBC news site this morning.

BBC news site this morning.

Guess they've edited it. Not that it's that important I suppose.

e2a: I mean the gender isn't that important, not the revealing of it.

Oh yeah, sorry - missed that!

 

[editor]

Please DO NOT speculate on this scumbag's identity. Thank you.

 

[MickiQ]

It will come out sooner or later there's plenty of speculation on twitter along the lines of it must be "So and So"that seems to be driven by the speculators dislike of "So and So" rather than any actual evidence.

 

[Thesaint]

Presumably the culprit was on the air until yesterday and identifiable by being on air then suddenly not so difficult to keep secret for long.

After the Philip Schofield fiasco, a part of me is wondering - ok hoping - its Gordon the Gopher?

People on twitter you mean.

And just making shit up. Throwing out any name that suits their pre held dislike.

No not Gordon

Rylan and Jeremy Vine have both said it's not them.

 

[weltweit]

The name of a certain gay BBC light entertainment presenter is trending on Twitter.

But no one knows for sure.

 

[Cid]

Rylan and Jeremy Vine have both said it's not them.

Widely reported it should be said, just for the speculation caution side of things.

35k for a few nudie pics

The main name kickin around doesn't exactly qualify as a 'top BBC star' but maybe to some he is.

Piers Morgan who presumably is quite well informed seems to think it's someone fairly high profile.

So you thought you’d link to the cunt Morgan anyway?

And the few ‘nudie pics’ as you put it, were images of a child under the age of 18.

You’re one massive piss take of a twat, I’ll grant you that!

Am I missing something here; why, when contacted by the parent about the CSA, didn't the corporation immediately pass the info to the OB?
