This is almost certainly the case, like many TV and production staff.

I've already called out elsewhere, he doesn't and has never worked for the BBC.
The BBC still have a care of duty to any BBC staff he comes into contact with even if he is contracted and to report any unsavoury comments made to anybody on their premises.
The BBC have time and time again mismanaged these circumstances and need to be assessed as to why they are letting these alleged incidents happen

Yeah, you're right, but nothing wrong with giving him a final warning (and meaning it), contractor or not.

Unfortunately at work there is always a hierarchy, that can force people to be 'in on it' or their position within the workplace can be questioned
They know it goes on as in all work places so, until they start sacking the top brass or warning them nothing will change make HR do it's job
Of course it's their duty of care. Let's not pretend that this is a BBC only issue though. It's seen throughout the industry, from Philip Schofield to Harvey Weinstein. It's not just an issue within entertainment either. Look at any industry with a power dynamic, and you'll find abuses of that power.
I agree DD2 the point I am making is the BBC are a high profile business who have had many instances of proven abuse and alleged ones the most recent Strictly and still it happens.
You would think any other company that has these issues would do more to make sure it is minimised as best they can.

I completely agree.
At first I thought this was an over reaction to poor jokes and borderline innuendo, not saying that is ok btw just that it might have not been the issue the media whipped up.
Then the sock story and others like the spill on his trousers, this may be all or may be tip of the iceberg but either way in any other job that is gross misconduct ( unless you are an adult entertainer lol).
i was neither a fan nor a hater, but you can't act like this in the workplace no mater who you are

It's not tax payers money, it's licence fee payers money. Big difference. You can opt out.

They still hound you if you try and opt out. The BBC should be a subscription service, like Netflix. It's an absolute joke people are forced to pay the fee. Paying the wages of big trunks Nolan and other clowns.

Unfortunately that doesn't happen when you live in the spot light. Trial by social media, your a city fan. Mendy lost his career because he was accused of rape. He was proven innocent in a court of law. Now he is claiming loss of earnings against city.
It's a crazy world we live in
None of this is going to court. So it's hardly relevant.
But if he wants his day in court to protest his innocence, he can always sue the BBC.
