Janet Street Porter has , in the past, been outspoken, but on this occasion she chose to stay silent.
The man is dead. There is nothing that anyone can do to change what happened in the past......personally I am more interested in the fact that the BBC defrauded governments out of taxes, which should have been paid into the communal pot by TV stars(refusing to employ them unless they took out tax avoidance contracts)..........is there no legal means to sue the BBC for the money?
Their actions were, if not exactly criminal, highly dubious.

Well Janet Street Porter did mention she was left at a hairdressers by her mother when she was about 12 and the man groped her breasts. When she told her mother she was slapped and that is what put her off complaining!
Also if you were in a job and you'd think twice about complaining if the person you complained about was very powerful and could end your career.
Yes he is dead but if you had been abused you'd be aware how bad it makes you feel and that telling someone can help.
