Who else watched BBC News at 10 just to see who'd be presenting it?
It seems like rumours and suspicions have solidified today. So I was genuinely interested to see who was presenting the 10 o'clock news this evening – and how the current BBC-related story was covered.
Whole situation is getting weirder and weirder. The young person at the middle of all this has now issued a letter via a lawyer (and a well known lawyer too) saying they'd contacted The Sun prior to publication denying anything inappropriate took place and that he and his mum were estranged.
Then the step-dad said they'd put all the allegations to the BBC for over an hour when a few days ago the parents claimed they hadn't spoken to anyone from the BBC.
God knows what the truth of all this is but I don't think its as straightforward as it first appeared.
The cynical part of me is assuming the presenter is paying the lawyer/coaching the kid on what to say, and this is just damage control to try and save their career/reputation.
Probably. There's just something a bit off about all this.
We might not ever know for sure. If the young man isn't going to go to the Police then there's not much they can do. If he's denying anything illegal or even inappropriate took place I'm not sure if the parents have any way to proceed do they?
