BBC to meet police over presenter paying teenager for sexual photos

The BBC is set to meet up with the police so they can confirm whether the top BBC presenter who paid £35,000 to a teenager with drug addiction for sexual pictures broke the law.

He has finally been suspended around two months after the case was initially brought to the BBC by the victim's family.

The suspension comes after the very well-known presenter allegedly made a phone call to the teenager the previous week. According to reports, he asked the victim “What have you done?” and told them to get their mother to “stop the investigation.”

The presenter is now off air after he allegedly paid thousands of pounds to the teenager who was struggling with an addiction to crack and is now aged 20. The mother of the victim claimed that she came to BBC after she found out about the payments as she asked them to get the presenter to “stop sending cash.”

She further claimed that she has seen a photo of the man where he was only donning his boxer shorts in a video call “leaning forward, getting ready for my child to perform for him.”

If the allegations are proven to be true, they could result in several criminal offences as the victim’s family claims the payment began when the child was only 17 years old.
