A Newsnight report smeared his 14-year-old accuser as a sexually promiscuous racist. Back in 2016, BBC’s Newsnight produced what was supposed to be a heartwarming documentary about a family of Syrian refugees. ‘To Hell and Back’ followed the Badreddin family over the course of 11 months, following their journey from war-torn Syria to their new life in Newcastle in the UK. Halfway through production, however, there was a hitch. One of the Badreddins, 18-year-old Omar, was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl shortly after arriving in the UK. Two other men were charged with sexual assault as part of the case, one of whom was alleged to have molested a second girl.
