There’s certainly been enough thrown out there, including salary details by a Conservative peer on television, that it’s a small subset of people employed at the corporation.

Incredibly messy, although difficult to see how the police can pursue evidence of a crime where the alleged victim - an adult in their own right now - will not co-operate but are instead reliant upon third parties (the mother and stepfather).

Equally difficult for the BBC to protect their employees from potentially spurious allegations while the person genuinely accused is entitled to due process. If someone sufficiently high profile was to suddenly disappear after an unsubstantiated claim it’d open the door to all kinds of allegations from bad faith actors.

If I were an even bigger cynic than I already am I’d be looking for the story the Sun is trying to bury with the timing.
