No. Found guilty of indecently assaulting a researcher on the Mrs Merton show.

Is there any organisation in the world as gigantic as the BBC which hasn't employed a handful of paedophiles over the past 50 years? Statistically, that seems extraordinarily unlikely. It's just that their job would not play a central role in the narrative. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm...

Likewise, “man watches porn”, despite knowing full well that many porn stars have been abused or are funding a drug habit.
