I've spotted one change, but it might be the wrong person. Which highlights a greater reason for revealing the correct person.
In the school summer holidays plenty of people who usually go to work don’t. The BBC has a duty of care to all of it’s employees including the accused. The problem is people jumping to the wrong conclusions, or indeed trying to make conclusions at all.

And to be fair anyone who wants to know who is being touted they can take to any social media platform. At this point almost nobody is being routinely falsely accused.

Very true. But please read between the lines, the Mirror makes it clearer

It would be illegal - last year, the Supreme Court established that when someone is under investigation by a law enforcement agency they have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Quote:
Mark Stephens, media law expert and partner at Howard Kennedy, said the law was changed after Sir Cliff Richard won a privacy case against the BBC over its coverage of a South Yorkshire Police raid on his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014.

Mr Stephens said there is a second layer of privacy, which is the “contractual arrangement” between the BBC and its members of staff.

“If there are allegations of inappropriate behaviour, or any other kind of breach of employment practice, they should be investigated confidentially,” he said.

“That’s doesn’t matter whether you’re a celebrity or in the local office or on the building site, the same law applies.”

From the link

Quote:
The Met said it is carrying out further inquiries to establish whether any crime has been committed after BBC representatives met with detectives virtually in the morning.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...nded-presenter

Quote:
The Metropolitan police have asked the BBC to pause its inquiries into a suspended male presenter, while specialist officers decide if there is any justification for a criminal investigation.

The BBC director general, Tim Davie, said the Met had taken control of the inquiry, although the police were still at the “scoping” stage of their inquiries and they may decide they was no criminal case to answer.

I'm not talking about a regular appearance, which suddenly stopped. Don't want to give out more details, in case somebody works out the missing appearance and points out details about it.
Those staff involved in any programme that has a last minute change, will possibly know the identity.

Everyone knows the identity by now.

BBC confirmed that the suspension took place 6-th of July.

Basically anybody who was due to make a live appearance, and now doesn't or didn't, is a possible. If that ends up be a list of more than one person, that is unfair on the others who aren't involved. If that is a list of just one person, then difficult to argue against it being that person. Only time can tell, as it is currently too short a time to have a complete list at the moment.

I know. Still could be that any appearance, now cancelled, that was due in the near future.

The claim is broke lockdown to meet a 23-year-old

There are also reports The Sun is distancing itself from the accusation the original person has under 18 when they sent pictures. They might in a bit of legal trouble if that turns out to be the case, not sure how much not naming them helps if he person is subsequently outed online.
