Broadcasting watchdogs have upheld complaints against Radio 1’s Chris Moyles after he joked he would sleep with Charlotte Church on the singer’s sixteenth birthday. Back in February he told listeners he wanted to "lead her through the forest of sexuality now that she had reached 16". While the BBC said the comments were Moyles' style of humour and were not meant to be taken seriously, the Broadcasting Standards Commission agreed with a listener who said the remarks were inappropriate. It noted Moyles was known for his "near-the-knuckle" approach, but it felt "the explicit sexual content and humour had exceeded acceptable boundaries for the time of transmission". It’s not the first time Moyles has annoyed watchdogs – he got into trouble after making offensive comments about an actor's wife on his Radio 1 show two years ago, and while at Capital the BSC upheld a complaint about his "aggressive and sexually suggestive" comments to a young female caller.

Does she look 16 now? You're a bit late.

[Console]

And if she was 16 it's not paedophillia.

This is one reason why there should be more forum admins on here to delete posts like this!

He is not a paedophile because he said he would when she's 16, not 15 or below which I don't see anything wrong with!

[mlawton]

I mean I don't see anything wrong with it when she's 16.

I didn't make it very clear above, of course if she was 15 or below it would be bad!

Just clearing up what I said above just incase anyone read it differently...

You could have just edited the post, and I did read it 'differently', but I knew what you meant.

right so the thought just coincidentally suddenly came into his head on her 16th birthday and he hadn't been thinking about it before? what about the other young female caller when he was on captal?

[mlawton]

don't know about tht, don't know the whole story so can't comment, but alls he meant about charlotte church is when she was 15 she was good looking so when its legal in 1 year time why not?

It's not illegal to look at a 15 year old a think she's good looking, doesn't mean you would have illegal sex with her!

Cracker, rest your pretty little head and stop peddling nonce - sense .

It was a joke, albeit badly conceived a long time ago.

Also, have you ever heard the term slander?

As someone studying Law, I feel I have to correct you on this (sorry for the anal retentiveness at this time on a Friday evening). Slander is spoken, whilst libel is written. So if Moyles were to sue, he wouldn't get too far by proclaiming he has been slandered.

Technically, she is still a "child" in the eyes of the law as she is under 18. The age of sexual consent maybe 16 but you are not "adult" until you reach your 18th birthday. I heard that the Sun had to destroy all copies of the pictures of Sam Fox, the page 3 model who was under 18 since they would now be viewed as under age material, since she is a still a "child".

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

[stevotrash Esq.]

i take it slander and libel are practically the same bar the particular medium of communication?

OK...becky have you ever heard of libel?

[trickymahonia]

Is it just me or isn't this story from years ago

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainmen ... 162307.stm

hardly current is it? Is Becky's radio or pc on a delay?
Becky I look forward to you posting about the swearing incident in Feb 2008!!!

[Nicky]

It is, it is a really old story.

Thats why I want to know what she's trying to achieve.

[seanbhoy]

[Becky]

maybe i just think 30 year old men talking about taking 16 year old girls virginitys a bit wrong

[Sidders]

It was 4 years ago. He would have been 28 at the time. Your point is still valid, but you're very, very late with it.

She clearly didn't did she?

She's been a guest like five times since then and invited him round to do his Xmas show from her mums pub!

Get over it. You know that Moyles's style is risque, yes it was ill advised but its many moons ago and long forgotten by all parties.

[Jono]

She'll probably post complaining about the thighs like a f*cker comment now from many moons ago.

Actually Chris never said that, it just sounded like that. He said Tries (meaning thighs) like a thucker (meaning trucker). He just got the first sounds on the first and last words backwards.
