BBC Presenter Suspended for Paying Teenager for Explicit Images: New Allegations Emerge
TL;DR Summary
A top BBC presenter has been suspended after allegations emerged that he paid a teenager over £35,000 for explicit images. The exchanges reportedly took place in 2020 when the teenager was 17 years old, and the money was allegedly used to fund a crack cocaine habit. The BBC is in dialogue with the Metropolitan Police regarding the issue. The corporation has faced criticism for not taking action sooner, as the mother of the teenager claims to have complained to the BBC in May. The UK government has called for an urgent investigation into the claims.
