"The recent announcement that I am no longer contracted to the BBC has led to the publication of rumour and speculation. In response to this the Metropolitan Police has made a statement, which I confirm relates to me."
"An allegation was made against me in 2016 of a history sexual offence which was the subject of a police investigation in which I fully cooperated and responded to in 2018."
"Since the investigation related to an allegation that dates back nearly 30 years and the police investigation was closed seven years ago, I hope that the public and the media will understand and respect my wish not to make any further public comment on this matter."
"I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who have reached out to me with kindness, my former colleagues, and my beloved listeners, who I greatly miss."
Scott Mills, a radio personality, was fired by the BBC after allegations of sexual offences against a teen boy surfaced. The allegations were investigated in 2016, and Mills cooperated with police in 2018. The Crown Prosecution Service closed the case in May 2019 due to insufficient evidence. Mills released a statement confirming the investigation and expressed gratitude to supporters. He requested respect for his privacy regarding the matter, which dates back nearly 30 years, and noted that his final show aired on March 24.
