BBC: A BBC presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, beginning when they were 17, according to The Sun.
The newspaper reported that the unnamed male presenter had paid the alleged victim tens of thousands of pounds.
It is understood that the BBC is looking into the allegations, and that the star is currently not scheduled to be on air in the coming days.
The Sun said the young person's family complained to the BBC on 19 May.
The family is reported to have become frustrated that the star remained on air and approached the newspaper, but said they wanted no payment for the story.
The mother told the paper that the anonymous individual, now aged 20, had used the money from the presenter to fund a crack cocaine habit. » | BBC | Saturday, July 8, 2023
