This is potentially a massive scandal involving The Sun newspaper and their conduct.
Never, ever, ever, ever jump to conclusions based on what The Sun newspaper prints.
It's ridiculous that this needs to be said!

The Sun relied entirely on the testimony of the young person's mother.
The young person's lawyer says they approached the Sun on Friday saying there was "no truth to it".
They still printed the article - triggering a disgusting online witch hunt.
An epic scandal.

"For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality and the allegations reported in the Sun newspaper are rubbish."
Goooooooooodness me

The Sun newspaper used to print images of topless girls UNDER THE AGE OF 18, and they think they have a single moral leg to stand on?
Disgusting little rag

Can any media lawyers explain how it is possible for a newspaper to print allegations which were refuted by the young person in question *last Friday*?
How did The Sun think they could get away with this?
This is surely one of the biggest media scandals for a long time

So what, this means completely disregarding the legal testimony of the 20 year old young person in question, all in favour of their parents?
This is deranged behaviour, absolutely deranged

What everyone needs to do is wait until all the facts emerge and reserve judgment.
What we know is the young person denied the claims via a lawyer last Friday, and this was entirely ignored by The Sun.

Some are tweeting that exploited young people aren't often aware of their own exploitation, and that's true.
This is only relevant if pornographic pictures of a child *under 18* were received.
If that's the case, a crime has been committed - but otherwise, this isn't illegality

It's also true that some parents disapprove of the consensual choices made by their adult children, and feel there has to be someone else to blame.
We don't know if that's happened here. We just know the evidence points towards a family dispute The Sun forced into the open.

I'm passing judgement on The Sun's refusal to include the legal testimony of the 20 year old at the heart of these accusations!
We don't know the full facts, and we should wait - but we *were* prevented from hearing a crucial element of the story.
