Last week the British press was shocked when Mills was removed from his role as host of the country’s best-loved breakfast show on Radio 2. The BBC initially said he was released due to “personal conduct”, but soon revealed that police had questioned the now 53-year-old over historical allegations dating back to 1997 to 2000, when Mills was 20 – allegations of “serious sexual offences” against a boy who was underage. 16 at that time.
Police began investigating these claims in 2016, and the BBC was made aware in 2017. Mills was investigated over the allegations in 2018, but the case was dropped after a year. No charges were filed after prosecutors agreed there was not enough evidence to proceed.
After the corporation said the star was fired after “new information” came to light, BBC News confirmed the fact that the alleged victim was under the age of 16.
Mills eventually said: “The recent announcement that I am no longer contracted with the BBC has given rise to the publication of rumor and speculation. In response to this, the Metropolitan Police have made a statement, which I confirm is related to me.”
“An allegation of a historical sexual offense was made against me in 2016,” he continued, “which was the subject of a police investigation in which I fully cooperated and responded in 2018. As the police have stated, a file of evidence was handed to the Crown Prosecution Service, who determined that the evidentiary threshold for laying charges was not met… As the investigation relates to an allegation which is almost 30 years old and the police investigation was closed 7 years ago, I hope the public and the media will understand and respect my wish not to make any further public comments on this matter,” he said, thanking well-wishers and saying he missed his “dear listeners.”
