@Rusty. Yes, I guess they thought they were protecting an asset... I think they could have done that more effectively by making a rule that underage guests were never allowed in the dressing rooms of any performers unless they were accompanied by a BBC-designated responsible adult of the same gender. It would protect the kids, the "asset" against false accusations and the BBC against accusations of complicity and cover-ups. The most cunning of bullying, pervert superstars would find it hard to provide a valid argument against such a rule.
I'm not sure what your point is regarding homosexuality. Even in the 70's sex with children was illegal.
