After the two had first connected on the dating app, the conversation moved to other platforms.

At this stage, the presenter revealed his identity and told the young person not to tell anyone.

Later, the young person alluded online to having contact with a BBC presenter, and implied they would name him at some point.

The presenter reacted by sending a number of threatening messages.

So they meet on a dating app, talk elsewhere at which point the presenter reveals their identity, they never meet but, later, the other person suggests online that they might reveal the presenter's identity, so they get a rude message.

This doesn't seem like a big deal, unless the threatening messages were really threatening.

And in the course of going public they'd be outing a middle aged man who is clearly not ready to be publicly out the closet.

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
