People change, we all watch our favourite soapstars, sportstars, film stars etc and there has been some right sagas these people we idolise get up to, no-one is perfect. I can remember being shocked about a certain former Man Utd players affair and he is someone who I still idolise;). Edited by Slater11, 15 Feb 2015, 22:05.

I am guessing this was when you were an extra? If that was the case the BBC were also negligent. If an adult commits a criminal assault on a child on the set they have a duty of care to inform the police. If he was ordered to apologise then they were fully aware of the crime. Even if the child gave no statement there were witnesses like yourself did the police even question you? How the hell were the police not informed of this assault? If the account you give has no other details this is a huge scandal and cover up. The BBC do not have the authority to decide on whether a crime is reported especially if the victim was a child. If that is exactly how it went down both RK and the BBC are in a lot of trouble. The fact it was a child victim changes everything, and he was on BBC property at the time and makes it incredibly serious even if he didn't give a statement to the police they should have been called and you should have been questioned along with everyone else. I don't want to give an opinion too much as were discussing a criminal offense against a child since I wasn't there don't want to libel myself but this sounds incredibly serious, BBC could be in trouble.

Your approval is neither desired nor required. Julia Smith "We decided to go for a realistic, fairly outspoken type of drama which could encompass stories about homosexuality, rape, unemployment, racial prejudice, etc., in a believable context. Above all, we wanted realism". | |

We know there's a precedent for this thanks to Operation Yewtree. |

It also wasn't the BBC. It was the production company responsible for Ultimate Force. Nobody was questioned by police officials. It was looked into by a member of the production team and resolved with the boy declining an apology. Whether that's right or wrong, that's the outcome. |

Still shocking no TV company should make that call. A member of the production team has a duty to inform the police of a child working with them is criminally assaulted. I am really shocked. I cant think of any parent accepting that again its not even their call a minor doesn't have to give a statement. That company if that is exactly how it went down and this came out could be in big trouble. Scary thought that companies even as late as 05 think they could make that choice. |
