Good grief,Aled Jones now.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty

[Kazanne]

Well even if he has done nothing,he is ****ed now,why cant they be proven guilty first? it's unfair,imo.

[smudgie]

So, no Snowman this year then.

Time sexual harassment was defined.
How many people have never had a bit of sexual banter or made humorous innuendos in their lives.

90 per cent of TiBB need to be removed

[LeatherTrumpet]

its a pathetic joke and dont be fooled

all that has happened is some ccnt at the BBC is scared they will get the blame

this makes a mockery of sexual abuse and puts its cause back years

[LeatherTrumpet]

I expect the text said "my snowballs are getting cold, fancy a little nibble at my carrot and a glass of mulled wine?"

as you do

[bitontheslide]

the press have decided that he is guilty and as they never ever make mistakes, it must be true

Oh that seems to be out the window Cherie.
Mind you it has been for ages as to people at the lower end of society.

Now however an allegation,just a few words,not even a reported incident to the Police,can now just about bring down anyone in politics or show business etc.

A worrying development indeed in my view as to trial now by allegation and media.

[LeatherTrumpet]

i hope he comes out and tells the BBC to go F themselves

[parmnion]

Dirty slimeball....perhaps.

WALKING OFF THE AIR Songs Of Praise host Aled Jones axed by the Beeb over claims of sexual harassment as he says sorry for ‘juvenile’ behaviour
The Walking In The Air singer 'strongly denies any inappropriate contact' and a source can reveal the claims involve 'inappropriate messages and contact'

SONGS of Praise star Aled Jones has been taken off the air by the BBC after being accused of sexual harassment.

The former angelic choirboy, 46, faces an allegation of inappropriate behaviour from a female colleague.

The married father of two, 46, who shot to fame as a choirboy in the 1980s, is believed to be one of 25 “live cases” being investigated by the Beeb.

The allegation is believed to centre around messages and contact.

The star — who has not appeared on the BBC since last month — said sorry for his “juvenile” behaviour but denied any inappropriate contact.

A well-placed source told The Sun on Sunday: “There is an allegation that inappropriate messages and contact with a female member of staff took place.

“He’s been told by the BBC about the complaint and after it came to light he has been taken off air.”

It is believed to be one of 25 live cases of alleged sexual harassment recently highlighted by BBC deputy director-general Anne Bulford.

A spokesperson for Jones said: “Although not related to any broadcast work, Aled voluntarily agreed not to go on the BBC whilst the matter is investigated.

“Whilst he accepts that his behaviour over a decade ago was occasionally juvenile, as was that of others, he never intended to harass or distress and he strongly denies any inappropriate contact.

[bitontheslide]

what has he actually done though? From what I understand of it, it amounted to a juvenile sms that he once sent years ago. The phrase "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone" is coming more and more into focus

Contact as in physical or communication? If it's the latter, I'd say suspending him is going a bit far.

This is true.It’s getting ridiculous now.Anybody can phone the BBC or whatever channel and complain about a presenter they don’t like touching their leg in a bar 30 years ago the accused gets suspended and their name dragged through the gutter.
Some of the Westminster things seem totally ridiculous.One was somebody sent a message inviting a woman to the cinema iirc.
It’s totally devaluing real victims of assault.

It's the horrible society we live in .
As soon as I read this article about Ales Jones I thought FFS !!! here we go again, literally every male on tv is being accused ! And they have no chance as any allegations about them are believed and blown out of proportion , that's injustice for you .

I bet if Aled received inappropriate messages from a female friend ,people would laugh . That's equality for you ! .

It was the Sun headline. It would never have made it onto your Facebook Memories thread.

Please stop . Now a man can't even sit next to a woman without being called a pervert ,I'm done .

Stop analysing innocent friendly greetings and mutual affection. As it's not fair, what if he got inappropriate groping from a female?? ,bet people would tell Aled to grin and enjoy it , society is pathetic also if he received harassment texts from a woman people would laugh and tell him the woman must really like him, utter BS double standards .
