Ten Worst Criminals Who Worked for the BBC

A new upload on the WatchMojoUK YouTube channel gives an overview of the ten worst criminals who worked for the BBC.

You might notice a bit of a recurring theme with the crimes of these scumbag, with them all having depraved sexual interests.

The BBC criminals featured in the video are:

1. Jimmy Savile, the most infamous BBC nonce of them all, who managed to evade justice for decades despite committing offences right under the noses (and blind eyes) of BBC bosses. An independent report by retired High Court Judge Dame Janet Smith concluded that Savile abused at least 45 victims during his time at the BBC. Savile's youngest BBC victims were girls aged 9-years-old.

2. Rolf Harris, a former presenter of several BBC Television programmes including The Rolf Harris Show and Rolf's Cartoon Club. In 2014 Harris was convicted of 12 counts of indecent assault against women and children. In 2017 one of those convictions, in relation to an 8-year-old girl, was overturned on appeal.

3. Stuart Hall, a former BBC Radio, Sport and News presenter. In 2013 Hall was convicted of 14 counts of indecent assault against children. In 2014 he was convicted of a further 2 counts of indecent assault against children. Hall's youngest victim was a girl aged 9-years-old.

4. Stephen Kish, a former presenter on CBBC show Officially Amazing. In 2021 Kish, who ran a Brighton dog boarding business, was convicted of possessing extreme pornography depicting dogs. 

5. Chris Denning, a former BBC Radio presenter. Deviant Denning has quite a rap sheet, having been convicted of literally dozens of child sex offences over the decades.

6. Dave Lee Travis, a former BBC Radio and Television presenter with the real name David Patrick Griffin. In 2014 Travis was convicted of indecently assaulting a female researcher working on the BBC's Mrs Merton Show.
