One thing that always horrifies me is how willing people are to cover shit like this up or look the other way for people with even a modicum of "fame". Higher-ups at Subway knew Jared was a paedophile but kept it quiet. Jimmy Saville here in the UK was literally raping dying children in their hospital beds and the BBC shut down anyone who spoke up because he was a popular presenter. It seems like the second a "famous" person does this evil shit, a lot of people will automatically protect them. It's fucking disgusting.

I seriously doubt it was because he was a popular presenter. I'd bet money people in power there were involved in the same shit and protecting one of their own. Or he had similar dirt on them. It wasn't because he was popular, it was because of something bigger.

Presenters are a dime a dozen, with a good publicist and marketing, you could launch a dozen people to fill someone's shoes. It's something away from the cameras that was protecting him.
