BBC: Sex Offenders & Incidents Connected to the BBC

SEX OFFENDERS AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED TO THE BBC

Here is a list of sex offenders connected to the BBC.  They continually keep popping up leaving me to conclude that the BBC was nothing but a magnet for depravity and nonces.

Just a brief note for any journalists or writers – please refrain from describing images of child sexual abuse as ‘child porn’.  It’s an archaic and offensive way to describe images of children being abused for others’ pleasure.
