The station is still on air this morning - insofar as a mostly automated jukebox along with a breakfast show where the host is sitting in Wolverhampton not Paphos can be called on air! It was off air a few days ago for pre-planned work by CYTA at the transmitter site but that was totally unrelated to this matter. |

I, probably like most people just assumed he was local. |

As a matter of interest, how do you know the host is sitting in Wolverhampton? No great secret about it. He presents the breakfast show live on Signal 107 in Wolverhampton - see station website link: https://www.signal107.co.uk/on-air/dicky-dodd/ He can't be in Wolverhampton and Paphos at the same time - and he is definitely in Wolverhampton weekday mornings! A friend who works on another station in the area told me that the Sunshine Radio links are pre-recorded and slotted into the playout by the wonders of modern technology. That said, I noticed this morning that there was no Dicky Dodd on Sunshine nor any news bulletins. |

It may well be that now MrBeech has been convicted of this heinous crime, to people in the industry, Sunshine Radio has become toxic and not an organisation to be associated with and so those involved may have left to protect their reputations. Alan |

I think that after he is sentenced , we will compile a list of business`s that are still supporting a radio station with advertising, that is owned by time serving convicted Paedophile, who interfeared with an 11 year old child . this list can then be published on many of the cyprus/ paphos based social media pages / forums / press etc , and then we can leave it up to the public to decide if they would still like to support these companies .. I can assure you I will not be using any of them again .. |

Neil, You have a great standing in the community, I totally agree with the last two posts, to tar everyone with the same brush may be a bit off the mark, sometimes my friend, as the saying goes let sleeping dogs lie, because if stirred they may come back to bite. You could end up in a court for slander and you do not deserve that. Let the law do its bit and keep your good name. |

I have been in a situation where it became known to me that a person that worked for me was indeed on the sex offenders list , I had no other choice than to severe myself from anything to do with this person as I could not be seen to have any dealing with such a person. Even anyone who still wishes to be employed by such a beast , should hang there heads in shame, you know that your boss abused an 11year old girl and you still want to work for him SHAME,SHAME ON THEM... As for legal ramafications, there is no law that that says you cannot make public the names of anyone who is doing business with a convicted Pedo |

Regards Alan He HAS been to trial and proven guilty, remanded in Nicosia prison to attend a 'mitigation' court appearance on the 11th which he did. The judge ordered him to be further detained and is due back in court for sentencing on the 24TH I would have thought 8 -10 years BUT I saw in the Cyprus Mail, a very similar case involving a Cypriot and he was only given 3 years!!!

A mere 3 years for terrifying a child is criminal in itself. Shame on Cyprus - yet again. And yes, I do know it was in the past, but Cyprus really does still need to get its legal system sorted out and ratified. Where's the EU when it's needed??? Sitting on its backside coining it in. Quelle surprise Junker! |

Signal 107 is a different station although part of the same company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_107 Daytime programmes on Signal 107 come from Wolverhampton although I think programmes at night do come from Stoke. Anyway, I think the main point is I doubt we will hear Dicky Dodd on Sunshine again! |

I have extracted this from Cyprus mail online, if I am reading this correctly he has more than five years, it reads 4 x 5 and 4 x 3, it looks as though he will do at least 32 years or am I wrong. FROM CYPRUS MAIL ONLINE A 45-year-old British man was sentenced to five years in prison on Friday in connection with four incidents of sexual abuse of his partner’s 11-year-old daughter between May and August 2015. The Paphos criminal court held closed hearings for 18 months and found the man guilty on November 6. On Friday, he was handed four five-year jail terms for each of the sexual abuse counts, as well as four three-year jail sentences for each of four sexual exploitation of children counts and an additional two-year jail term for each of the charges of indecent assault against a woman. However, all sentences will run concurrently. The court expressed dismay and repulsion at the nature of the offences, and said it took into account the close family bond created between the defendant and the victim, as well as the relationship of trust and influence he abused. Mitigating factors, the court said in its ruling, were the defendant’s clean criminal record, his personal and family circumstances, and the consequences of imprisonment on him. The man’s lawyer is expected to appeal the ruling. |

The sentences are running concurrently so five years is the maximum. They are not running consecutively. |

Can't understand the court doing that, as 5 years is the maximum term he will serve. Deserves a much longer sentence and deportation at the end of it. |

So I take it nothing moved forward following the discussion in Cyprus since 2014  STRICT penalties for people who engage in the sexual abuse of minors are stipulated in a bill proposed by the government, with sentences ranging in most cases from 25 years to life imprisonment. The bill – to bring Cyprus law in line with that of the EU – was discussed at the House Legal Affairs committee yesterday and Monday and a final version is expected to be put to a plenum vote within the month. According to the bill, anyone who forces a child to engage in a sexual act, or even observe a sexual act is guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to up to 25 years of imprisonment. The legal age of consent in Cyprus is 17. http://cyprus-mail.com/2014/06/04/stric ... x-abusers/ |

I've searched excessively on t'internet and there seems to be quite complicated legal and social discussions on consecutive v concurrent and I'm afraid I have no answers. I'm just glad he's in jail and can no longer perpetuate his indiscretions on children. That has to be a huge positive for the innocents concerned. I care not one jot what happens to this scum once he's released. His fingerprints and DNA will be on record so he won't be able to move again without being tracked and traced. Praise the Lord. |

Interesting thread on the PEG Expat Group on Facebook started by a business that has tried to get its adverts removed from Sunshine Radio but can’t manage to make this happen as there is nobody left at the station who can do this. Other businesses have apparently had the same experience. The ads are literally stuck in the playout system and will keep on playing. The station really is operating on autopilot now |

Sunshine Radio Quote Post by Dominic » Sun Nov 26, 2017 4:16 pm I just read this on facebook and thought it worth sharing here: _____________________ Sunshine Radio I have just joined PEGS to put those interested in regards the current status of Sunshine Radio in the picture. Mr Sandy (Beech) Preston is no longer a director of Sunshine Radio Ltd, the controlling company. Both Ms Nicola Gibson and myself are newly appointed directors and have been shareholders since the company was formed. There are currently technical and legal issues which we have to overcome before we can take full control of the output of the station. It is unfortunately not quite as simple as flicking a switch! Technically Mr Preston is still a major shareholder in the company however after we meet with the licensing authority, companies house and legal council this may change. Regards lack of communications from myself or Nicky, We have been impeded in our takeover of the station and so all we can do is offer our sincerely apologies to all our advertisers. We will contact each of you personally as soon as possible. I am the original founder and licensee of the station and would like to thank you all for your support of the station and our advertisers throughout the past 3+ years. We already have new and familiar management in place but I am unable to give a time as to when a formal switchover will take place, possibly under a completely new brand. I'll be happy to answer any questions or if you prefer feel free to message me privately via Facebook Messenger. David Shapiro _______________________ It was also pointed out on another thread, that the mother of the children affected is also a 40% shareholder. |
