In brief
A broadcaster's presenter, Ashley Cain, has a history of making abusive comments about women on social media. This raises serious questions about the organization's vetting process before hiring him.
A presenter known for appealing to young men, Ashley Cain, has a history of making abusive remarks about women. These comments, found on his social media, are now raising concerns for the broadcaster that hired him.
In past online posts, Mr. Cain used offensive terms to describe women. He also made jokes about hitting women and shared sexually demeaning content on social media platforms.
These remarks were publicly available for many years before Mr. Cain was hired by the broadcaster. This has led to questions about the organization's vetting process for its presenters.
The broadcaster previously praised Mr. Cain for his "exceptional" ability to connect with young male audiences. They have stated they expect high standards of behavior from everyone they work with and are now carefully considering this new information.
Additionally, a newspaper report from 2015 alleged that Mr. Cain shared explicit footage of a woman online without her consent. This incident, also publicly known, further highlights concerns about his background.
