The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Sydney's 2Day FM was put "into recess4" pending5 a review over the incident last week.

The move follows public outrage6 over the segment(部分,段), which saw the girl quizzed about whether she was sexually active.

Host Kyle Sandilands has also been sacked from his role as a judge on Australian Idol7 over the row.

The radio show saw the girl strapped8 to a polygraph(测谎器) machine as her mother - who had volunteered to be on air - quizzed her despite apparently9 knowing she had been assaulted when she was 12 years old.

Sandilands was accused of further insensitivity when after the revelation(揭露,泄露) he asked: "Right, and is that the only sexual experience you've had?"

Co-host Jackie O'Neil put an end to any further discussions when she realised the conversation had crossed a line.

Controversy10

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd led the criticism against the radio show, saying: "This is a young girl and I am, as I think most Australians are, really distressed11 at the way in which the young person has been treated."

Child welfare officers and police have now been ordered to investigate the teenager's claims.

The Ten Network, which produces Australian Idol, said Sandilands had been axed as it was concerned about the conflict between his TV and radio persona.

"It has become increasingly clear that as Idol has remained a family focused show, his radio persona(伪装的外表) has taken on a more controversial position," it said in a statement.

"The recent controversy surrounding Kyle's radio programme has highlighted more than ever the conflicting attitude of the two careers."

The Kyle and Jackie O Show is the highest-rating breakfast radio programme in Sydney.

A statement from 2Day FM said Sandilands was "unable to perform his on-air duties at this time", while the station is also reviewing its audience interaction policy.
