THE Nine Network has moved swiftly to suspend Ben McCormack after the A Current Affair senior reporter was charged with using a carriage service for child pornography material.
In a statement following his release from police custody tonight, a Nine spokeswoman said “while justice MUST take its course, given the serious nature of the allegations [the network] has immediately suspended Ben McCormack”.
News Corp Australia understands the reporter and volunteer Bondi lifesaver has reportedly been warned by friends about his interest in dating teenage men.
“He’s always on Grindr and having dates with young-looking men. He was a bit of a Peter Pan, didn’t want to get old,” a source, who declined to be named, said.
The former colleague claimed “he would often show photos of guys he was seeing and they would always be baby-faced teens but a legal age.”
“His life is lifesaving, but he mentors and trains young boys there.”
