I would rather have a clear name than the money. Among certain circles you would just never shake the nonce label. He will be living in fear for his life from a Sun lynch mob until the day he dies, along with every paediatrician in the country.
Doesn't seem like the BBC can win, does it? They don't run reports on claims that wouldn't stand up in court and they're the bad guys. They run claims that wouldn't stand up in court and it turns out the bloke is more than likely a liar or mentally ill in some way. If they have enough evidence that the person could be convicted they should hand it over to police and keep quiet, if they don't they should keep quiet. The issue is just too toxic. I have no idea how people can be compensated by public bodies, or for that matter anyone, decades after an unverifiable event. This will just open the flood gates.
