"Scott Mills was questioned by police under caution in July 2018 regarding allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy, which were reported to have taken place between 1997 and 2000."
"The investigation began in December 2016 following a referral from another police force, but was closed in May 2019 after the Crown Prosecution Service determined the evidential threshold had not been met."
"The BBC announced that Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with them, stating they do not comment on individual matters related to personal conduct."
Scott Mills, host of BBC Radio 2's popular breakfast show, was sacked following allegations of serious sexual offences against a boy under 16. The allegations stemmed from a police investigation initiated in 2016, which was closed in 2019 due to insufficient evidence. Mills was questioned in 2018, but the Crown Prosecution Service determined that the evidential threshold for charges was not met. The BBC confirmed his termination without commenting on individual matters, and Mills had previously increased the show's audience to 6.5 million listeners.
