Reports of the fresh information (it’s not fresh evidence) being reported by media is:

The BBC sacked presenter Scott Mills after learning the alleged victim in the police investigation was under 16, it is understood.

It is not clear if BBC managers at the time of the investigation in 2017 knew the age - but current management only became aware in recent weeks and took action, BBC News understands.
