Despite the seriousness of the allegations, it has taken nearly 50 days and the pressure of public outcry for the BBC to take any action against the unnamed presenter through his suspension. The BBC has once again pressed its own self-destruct button and shown how not to deal with a crisis.
The claims made most recently are far more serious than those initially made in May, and the BBC has acted swiftly to suspend the presenter in question. However, at this stage the facts are still being determined, and the staff member has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
