    The expectation comes because the BBC has a long history of covering up for and protecting rapists, abusers and paedophiles.

      Which is shameful and disgusting but should not have any influence about how this case is handled.

      Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

        Nah. Unfortunately people can be found innocent in court of a crime they actually did commit.

        I’d say if there was overwhelming evidence that he did it, then he should be named and shamed.
