The women, who were targeted by former presenter Alex Belfield, are calling for an independent review
Female BBC employees who were harassed online by former radio presenter Alex Belfield have accused the corporation of failing to help them.
"I asked repeatedly for help. I was receiving emails, YouTube videos and tweets which were defamatory and damaging. I wanted it to stop and I was told there was nothing that could be done. "Although the [not guilty] verdicts of the four Leeds women were devastating, the judge's sentencing statement was a turning point - it essentially validated what we had all lived through for over a decade," she said.
"At no time did the BBC refute publicly what was being said about us - defamatory, vile and abusive comments, reputationally damaging and mentally exhausting and, at times, debilitating. Ms Green believes the BBC's inaction might have influenced the jury and led to their not guilty verdicts.
