BBC Presenter Under Investigation for Allegedly Paying Teen for Explicit Photos

A BBC presenter, who remains unnamed for legal reasons, allegedly made panicked phone calls to a teenager involved in a scandal over explicit images. The presenter also attempted to stop the teenager's mother, who reported the incident to The Sun, from pursuing the investigation. The BBC has suspended the presenter and contacted the Metropolitan Police. The teenager was reportedly 17 years old when first in contact with the presenter, which is illegal in the UK. The BBC is conducting an investigation led by former police detective Jeff Brown, while the teenager's family has sent evidence to support their complaint.
