Radio show host Scott Mills was reportedly investigated for “serious sexual offenses” against a teenage boy.
The BBC has been embroiled in yet another scandal involving child sexual abuse allegations against one of its top presenters.
On Monday, the British state broadcaster confirmed that it fired the star of its Radio 2 breakfast show, Scott Mills, “following allegations about his personal conduct.” It did not elaborate further.
According to Sky News, the BBC presenter was being probed over past allegations of sexually abusing a child under the age of 16 – the UK’s age of consent.
The Metropolitan Police had initially launched an investigation in December 2016 relating to “allegations of serious sexual offenses against a teenage boy,” the news channel reported on Tuesday, citing law enforcement.
The alleged crimes reportedly took place between 1997 and 2000.
“As part of these inquiries, a man who was in his 40s at the time of the interview, was questioned by police under caution in July 2018,” Sky News cited the police force as saying, adding that the probe was eventually dropped due to lack of evidence.
Mills was among the highest-paid BBC stars, with an annual salary of more than £355,000 ($473,000), according to the corporation’s 2024–2025 pay report.
There is a long record of crimes involving minors being committed by BBC personalities. Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall, and Rolf Harris all abused children while working for the corporation, with the latter two serving sentences for sexual assaults involving girls as young as seven. In 2024, news presenter Huw Edwards was sentenced for possessing indecent images of children. Edwards received a six-month sentence, suspended for two years, meaning he will only go to prison if he reoffends during that period.
Savile allegedly abused as many as 450 victims – most of them children or young people – over the course of five decades. His alleged crimes shook the UK following his death in 2011, prompting an unprecedented investigation into how the BBC handled the issue.
clickbait
Lots of pedos in mainstream media
We need this in New Zealand:
Daniel’s Law child sex offender register website receives more than 290,000 visits in three months. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-01/290000-visits-to-daniels-law-website-child-sex-offender-register/106521102
We did once in the 1980s have a little book published with the names of all sex offenders in it, but it was impossible to keep up. By now it would be several volumes. Anyway, it was decided that such a book interfered with the privacy of the degenerates.
When you look at the creepy woke material being churned out, that people in the UK have switched off in droves, does this really surprise anyone….?
In Europe it is well lnown that the UK is full of perv and devious males. Protestants always have had taboos on ( repressed) sexuallity. That is why it seems you get extremes such as deviousness or for ex. extreme violent porn ( originate again from anglo saxon society)
So are you saying that if society didn’t put restrictions on sexuality, society wouldn’t have a problem?
A man died recently. Someone who produced pornography. Another one who died recently was the owner of Only Fans. Neither was an anglo-saxon. Most of the producers of pornography are not anglo-saxons. Grooming gangs in the UK are not anglo-saxons and they did not learn their extremes of deviousness from anglo-saxons. Sexual deviancy only seems to be more prevalent anglo-saxon behaviour because angle-saxon society hunts down and punishes sexual deviancy when it is an anglo-saxon committing it. For various and sundry reasons non angle-saxon crimes of sexual deviancy are covered up. There are many non anglo-saxon countries in the world where sexual deviancy has been enshrined within their culture.
Where would you rather live?
👍great points
Who let the grooming gangs in and who voted for the people who let them in? The average Brit is a moron and their society is a swamp. Go back to Victoria’s time and it was a murderous empire that killed and enslaved millions. BTW my origins are part;y English but I’m not hiding from reality.
…and abused catholic chior boys.
Imagine my shock!!!
