A BBC investigation saw over 30 staff members and former employees at the LGBT+ website accuse the pair of inappropriate behaviour towards staff. James and Cohen have faced calls to resign from their position at the world’s largest LGBT+ website “As we told the BBC prior to its initial broadcast, a police investigation was ongoing and we were advised not to make a comment. “We had explained to the BBC that the stage of the police investigation meant that it was not possible for us to comment on the specific allegations even though they were strenuously denied.”
