things, but that doesn t mean the inquiry stops. still unnamed, but some bbc presenters have felt compelled to come out and say that they are not involved? that s right. we re in a very difficult situation at the moment because the sun isn t naming the presenter, the bbc is not confirming their name. and, so, what you have had here is a frenzy on social media, frankly, with people speculating as to who the bbc presenter is. and it s led to a number of other bbc presenters to basically go on social media and say, it ain t me. so people like gary lineker, jeremy vine, nicky campbell, radio presenter, ryland, have all taken to their various different twitter and instagram accounts to say, well, don t speculate about me, it is not me. some have been threatening legal action. so, this is a very serious situation, particularly for the bbc and, of course, for the unnamed presenter. graham, you alluded to this earlier but there are also some questions about how the bbc has
and the teenager, so, it says that there are pictures of this presenter allegedly in his underwear on the sofa in preparation for a video call. you can see that there are now serious questions being asked about the way the bbc is starting to handle all of this. the bbc for its part has said that it takes these allegations very seriously, that it has tried to speak to the people involved, the family involved, to get further details. but their statement goes on to say that if it gets no reply or receives no further contact, that can limit its ability to progress things, but that doesn t mean the inquiry stops. the presenter is still unnamed, but some bbc presenters have felt compelled to come out and say that they are not involved? that s right. we re in a very difficult situation at the moment because the sun isn t naming the presenter, the bbc is not confirming their name. and, so, what you have had here is a frenzy on social media, frankly, with people speculating as to who the bbc

certain steps have been taken. the traffic stop was fine, right, she was legitimately going through a stop sign, so that s step one. pull her over. i smell marijuana, can i search your car? yes. he sercarches the car. again, we re fine. we don t find any marijuana. at that point i think the inquiry stops. you give her a ticket for running the stop sign, it s over. that s it. you don t strip search people and then rape them. we talk about police violence in this larger history of the sexual assault of black women in this country. this is a continuation of a historical legacy and we really don t talk about how sexual violence has played out in policing until recently on black women s bodies. so if you think about the fact that black women make up roughly less than 15% of the population and 60% of those black women before the age of 18 have experienced some sexual assault, right? and for every one woman that comes forward and talks about the sexual assault, there are 15
