BBC remains in limbo as allegations continue to drip, drip, drip

Remember, the Metropolitan Police has asked the BBC to pause their investigations while their own detectives scope out whether there is a criminal investigation.

BBC remains in limbo as allegations continue to drip, drip, drip

 So, the BBC is in limbo over what it can do.

It feels pretty unclear still whether this presenter’s name will come into the public domain and he will be identified.

Police clearly won't name him unless they charge him with a crime. The BBC hasn't up to now decided to do that, particularly as it has a duty of care towards an employee to balance along with other legal issues.

The Sun hasn't named him. So, then we are in this territory of would a newspaper be prepared to try to name him and fight it out? But, privacy laws in our country are very powerful.

Or, as Jeremy Vine is coming round to suggesting, the presenter identifies himself. But, as it stands that presenter hasn't shown any signs which suggest they will do that.

So it does feel like this is going to continue with more drip, drip, drip allegations.
