'Shielded' | BBC accused of 'cover-up' over alleged assault on female colleague by presenter

The BBC is facing fresh scrutiny over workplace culture allegations after claims that a male presenter physically assaulted a female colleague and remained employed by the broadcaster for years afterwards.

According to reporting by the Mail on Sunday, BBC bosses were allegedly aware of claims that the presenter broke the woman’s wrists during an incident said to have taken place around 2014, but did not report the matter to police or launch disciplinary proceedings.
