    1. >The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2020 and 2022 and relate to images that were shared on a WhatsApp chat

      Presumably everyone involved with that chat is being prosecuted

      Well, that’s that then. And it’s separate to the news from last year – so might not involve the 17 year old, could be the same, could be younger.
      What a fall from grace. He was beloved by the nation.
      Terrible.

    3. I assume he’s going to be seeing some jail time with the amount found on his phone.

      The last time this situation was in the media, it seemed like he might have had some inappropriate chat with a young adult. That said, there were occasional anonymous comments from people who worked with him that hinted of bullying and irrational behaviour. It’s clear that even if people didn’t know he was messing with kids, he is deeply unpleasant and shouldn’t have been rewarded with a massive, taxpayer-funded salary and the best work opportunities.

      What stands out for me is that the highest paid people at the BBC are still mostly the kind of men who have had everything handed to them.

      We’re allowed to call him a nonce without the feelz brigade jumping to his defence now, right?

      Wow, this is huge.

      I am guessing the evidence is so strong, this is his only way to ‘try’ to avoid prison by doing an early guilty plea as a mitigating factor.

      After he has been sentenced I just don’t see anyway back for him,a life of shame and hiding away is all he will have.

      This sub was highly weird about this back when he was merely done for being a creep.

    9. Can you imagine how his social interaction has changed (and will now change) from a short time ago? Unbelievable fall from grace.

    10. An aside to this case, but relevant…If you’re a member of a WA group and some twat decided to share a ‘dodgy’ pic, anyone on that group who sees it could be done for making indecent images?
