BBC DJ Sacked Over Old Sexual Offense Claims

BBC Radio Twos Scott Mills, a long-time DJ, was recently fired due to new information related to old sexual offense claims. In 2016, police investigated allegations of serious assaults on a boy under 16 from 1997 to 2000, which were passed to the Met. Mills was questioned in 2018, but the case was closed in 2019 due to lack of evidence. The BBC admitted to knowing about the investigation in 2017 but kept Mills on air. New details emerged recently, leading to his dismissal. Colleagues and friends are expressing shock and disappointment, and the BBC is facing criticism for its handling of the situation.
