Piers Morgan don't understand Scott Mills scandal

Outspoken journalist Piers Morgan has reacted to Scott Mills scandal, saying he does not understand it.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter handle, Morgan tweeted, “I don’t understand this Scott Mills scandal. He was investigated by police 10yrs ago over alleged offences 25+ years ago, but no action was taken and case was closed.”

The presenter continued, “Now he gets instantly fired over same thing?”

According to a report by the Reuters, the BBC has sacked radio host Scott Mills following allegations about his personal conduct, with British media reporting on Tuesday that he was questioned by police a decade ago over historic allegations of offences involving a teenage boy.

Britain's Metropolitan Police said the boy at the centre of the investigation, was under the age of 16.

The investigation began in 2016 following a referral from ⁠another police force and examined alleged offences reported to have taken place between 1997 and 2000.

"The investigation related to allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy," the force said in a statement, without disclosing his age.

Police said a man in his 40s was questioned under caution in July 2018 and that a full file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Prosecutors concluded there was insufficient evidence to ⁠bring charges, and the investigation was closed in May 2019.
