In response to this the Metropolitan Police has made a statement, which I confirm relates to me.  \n>  \n> 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 co-operated and responded to in 2018. As the police have stated, a file of evidence was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, which determined that the evidential threshold had not been met to bring charges.  \n>  \n> 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.  \n>  \n> 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.\u201d ([itv.com](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-04-02/bbc-says-it-sacked-scott-mills-after-learning-police-probe-involved-boy-under-16?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Key Points & Context\n\n- The allegation stems from **2016**, under investigation in involve \u201ca historic sexual offence.\u201d Mills says he \u201cfully cooperated\u201d and engaged with authorities in **2018**.

There are no definitive answers yet \u2014 just what the public record shows right now.\n\n---\n\n### Was he found guilty?\n\nNo, there\u2019s no indication Scott Mills was found guilty of any wrongdoing.\n\n- The historic allegation dates to between **1997 and 2000**, with a complaint lodged in **2016** involving a teenage boy. Mills was investigated and interviewed under caution in 2018.([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/apr/01/scott-mills-was-sacked-after-new-information-emerged-about-his-conduct-bbc-says?utm_source=openai))  \n- The **Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)** reviewed the evidence but decided in **May 2019** that it did *not meet the threshold to press charges.**([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/apr/01/scott-mills-was-sacked-after-new-information-emerged-about-his-conduct-bbc-says?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo legally, the matter was closed without any criminal conviction.\n\n---\n\n### Is he going to get his job back?\n\nIt\u2019s very unlikely, though there\u2019s no public guarantee either way. Key points to consider:\n\n- The BBC *terminated his contract* on **Friday, March 27, 2026**, citing \u201cnew information\u201d about his personal conduct.([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/apr/01/scott-mills-was-sacked-after-new-information-emerged-about-his-conduct-bbc-says?utm_source=openai))  \n- BBC policy on \u201cbehavioural expectations\u201d dictates that staff and contractors must adhere to certain standards. The BBC said Mills\u2019 conduct didn\u2019t meet those standards in light of the new information.([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/apr/01/scott-mills-was-sacked-after-new-information-emerged-about-his-conduct-bbc-says?utm_source=openai))  \n- Officially, he is \u201cno longer contracted\u201d with the BBC. There\u2019s been no credible signal from the BBC suggesting a plan to bring him back.([womanandhome.com](https://www.womanandhome.com/life/news-entertainment/scott-mills-replacement-claudia-winkleman/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to track if there are any recent legal or BBC updates since April 2 that shift this picture."
