Radio DJ Scott Mills has finally responded to recent speculation following news he is no longer contracted to the BBC. The
Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating an allegation against him.
Allegation Dates Back Nearly 30 Years
In a statement, Mills addressed the historic claim:
"An allegation was made against me in 2016 of a historic sexual offence which was the subject of a police investigation in which I fully cooperated and responded to in 2018."
"A file of evidence was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, which determined that the evidential threshold had not been met to bring charges."
Mills Urges Privacy and Thanks Supporters
He added the matter relates to an incident nearly three decades ago and asked for privacy:
"Since the investigation related to an allegation that dates back nearly 30 years and the police investigation was closed 7 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."
