Let’s hope you are not accused of anything and someone goes to a news paper first

The sense of entitlement in this thread is frightening

and they wonder why the mother didn't go to the police

technically Phil didn't do anything wrong, the advertisers thought otherwise and he is toast

I will be cancelling my DD off the back of this, fed up of paying paedo wages

Taken to court and given a criminal record.

Plenty of things which are legal are wrong - such as grooming a teenager, and sleeping with him while he's still a child.

Phil was obviously careful to visibly stay within the letter of the law, but whether or not he did anything wrong is apparently open to interpretation.

the BBC have suspended him, so, they think he has given the BBC a bad name too. You seem to have forgotten that the general public is legally libel to pay this persons salary, so the public have a right to expect a certain level of behaviour from employees

if it is true that this person phoned the guy and put pressure on him to drop the story, and then provided him with a team of lawyers. It stinks

Meh, he might know the presenter as "that bloke mum watches on the news while I scroll through" ... Insta/TikTok/Twitter/Face-one-that-kids-don't-use

If the Sun have any evidence to back up the allegations, then this could go to a whole new level. It becomes a criminal case automatically if the alleged perp used coercion to try and shut the story down. It looks very like that is what has just gone down

GB news state parents are standing by their claims

Presenter story marked by 'dangerous absence of facts', says ex-BBC executive
A former BBC news executive has claimed that a story alleging a presenter paid a teenager for sexual photos has a “dangerous absence of facts”.

Tim Luckhurst told the broadcaster: “This story has been marked from the beginning by a dangerous absence of facts, at every stage there have been more questions than answers and that remains the case tonight.

“The emphasis has shifted - now it seems that the parents may have raised concerns with The Sun concerns which did not directly reflect the concerns of their child.

“But at no stage in this story have we seen the full details that The Sun purports to have.

“I am beginning to suspect that the problem is that the facts are not entirely clear to The Sun, they’re not clear to the BBC either.”

My purely speculative speculation would be;

It happened as described

He didn't want to report it

Mum reported it

He's being paid to deny the whole thing.
