I agree that image/perception would motivate the decision
I disagree with your other statement for the same reason. The BBC legal department and the outside council tgey will have employed will make sure they have followed procedure and the image/perception of any future judge or court will be that they have given Jermaine and his representatives the right to deny he sent them. or if he had any comments to make on the subject.

He may have received a fair hearing internally and the BBC decided to sack him on strong evidence, who knows. Though I am sure they are very conscious currently of image management. The positive side of these stories though is that women (mainly) are less likely to be harassed in the work place. I have no problem with that.

He must of seen something inappropriate in the offices or he has touched his toes.

He could be another cocky ex-footballer who only think off balls than brains. I don't know if he was any good or not.
I agree with Blue Boy, if he has breached the terms of his contract then he has screwed himself. It's like any employee.
People should know that a lot of people don't delete emails or texts etc.
