The lawyer reportely representing the young person has called the claims 'rubbish', rather than the BBC. |  |

if, as has been claimed, the young person contacted the sun on Friday to deny the story and the sun has not then included that fact in any of its coverage, that seems very strange. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Indeed.
And it's worth pointing out that, according to BBC News (the only independent and scrupulous news organisation in the country), this isn't some tinpot high street firm of solicitors, but a multi-national firm of legal hard hitters.
Be worried, rupert, be very worried. |  |

Where have you read this? |
On the live updates page there is a bit from one of the commentators:
The firm that the young person has instructed to contact the BBC is not a modest, high street firm, they are a multinational practice so they know what they're doing.
Also worth mentioning on your post above, Owen Jones isn't saying this is the end of the Sun, at least in the linked tweet, but that it would be a scandal if the whole allegation turns out to be false which I don't think is incorrect.
Especially if they haven't done their due diligence. |  |

Obviously not right to speculate on specific parts of the story but there were a couple of things that seemed a bit odd about it when it first broke. |  |

Have to admit, I am wondering how the young person can afford to appoint a lawyer from a multinational practice. | |

We're veering quickly into speculation territory but it might be the young person consensually sells images and videos of themselves, which can earn them substantial amounts of money.
Or the firm think they can squeeze money out of the Sun.
Could be anything. [Post edited 10 Jul 2023 19:35]

"Nonetheless, the lawyer added, the Sun newspaper proceeded to publish "......their inappropriate article".
"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," the lawyer writes."
I would not have thought any law firm would be so rash as to make that kind of statement without be absolutely certain of the facts. And
"Piers Morgan has said the BBC presenter claims will be a "scandal that will rock Britain".
I wonder what evidence he was privy to that would give him reason to make that claim. | | | |

Thanks, I had not seen that.
Young people do not normally instruct top end law firms, so they likely have someone advising and financing them. That is unusual and potentially worrying.
Fair comment on the End of the Sun, I will take that up that headline with Sitters!
If it is entirely false, then yes, I agree, that is irresponsible journalism. The Sun have effectively doubled down in their response to the lawyer letter, so would imagine that there is something in the story. | | | |

I have no agenda, merely commenting that the individual agitating against a right wing news organisation is a known left wing activist. Quelle surprise.
I would have made the same comment had it been a right wing journalist having a go at the Guardian.
Your post makes makes an assumption about my political leanings without knowing me. Very foolish of you, join the blocked list. | | | |

On the money side, I have perhaps unwisely speculated above but it wouldn't at all surprise me if it came out the person made money through OnlyFans. People on there can make serious amounts of money, enough to hire decent law firms. | |

It doesn’t really matter whether he is an independent commentator or whether he has an agenda or not. He’s simply reporting that this could ‘potentially’ be a huge scandal involving The Sun. Thats all. |  | | |

Police will tell you Children (assuming 17) who have been groomed sometimes don’t realise they have so claims of ‘rubbish’ will be taken with a pinch of salt.
I assume we will end up Schofield territory of inadvisable but not illegal. |  | | |
