Half the problem here is that the Media is now digging for dirt on any BBC DJ from that era, and are doing nothing more than recycling facts that Peel himself had been open about for years in an attempt to sell papers and scandalmongering.
Now I couldn't give a shit about Peel as I was never a huge fan, and what he did was wrong, but they are trying to paint him as a sexual predator like Saville and that's simply not the case.
What annoys me is that Peel is an easy target to try and make a headline out of, it's cheap journalism, inaccurate, and just jumping on the bandwagon.
