Tony Livesey has left BBC Radio 5 Live after 16 years at the station, the corporation announced. Livesey stepped back from his weekday late-night talk show in June following allegations made against his former newspaper boss, David Sullivan. Livesey previously worked as editor-in-chief of Sullivan's Daily and Sunday Sport publications. Several women have accused Sullivan, a billionaire businessman and West Ham co-owner, of abusing his power and preying on them for sex, in some cases when they were teenagers. Sullivan has strongly denied the allegations. The claims were made in a joint investigation by the Times and BBC Panorama.
