Lumos trustee Danny Cohen, according to Wikipedia, was a fast riser at the BBC and became director of a unit thereof (BBC 3) and then other units until he became director of BBC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Cohen_(television_executive)

Note that his time at the BBC overlapped significantly with the Savile scandal right before it broke. Cohen wanted to do a positive tribute special to Savile even after the scandal had reach epic proportions in public.

From same wikipedia page: 'The Pollard review into Newsnight's decision to drop an investigation into sex abuse claims against Jimmy Savile found that Cohen had not read emails that had been copied to him warning of Savile's "dark side" and which indicated there was knowledge within the BBC of the unsavoury side of Savile's character. Had he done so "it was at least possible that further questions [on the advisability of running the Christmas 2011 tributes] would have followed"'

He knew what Savile was up to (at least) and helped cover it up and whitewash it. How in the world is this guy a trustee for a children's organization?
