Shocking allegations have been made against a highly-paid BBC presenter after it was revealed they received financial compensation for nude images. It is believed that the presenter paid a teenager for explicit pictures when the teenager was 17 years old.
The claims were originally reported to the BBC by the teenager's mother in May, but despite this, it appears that the corporation failed to report them to the Metropolitan Police. A spokesperson from the Met confirmed that no reports have been received regarding the matter.
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has called for the presenter to be suspended while the allegations are being investigated. She declared that the idea of presenters thinking they can act with impunity and get away with such behaviour is 'deeply concerning'. She continued by emphasizing that broadcasters need to take a firmer stance on these issues, as they 'seem to lurch from one scandal to another'.
In response, the BBC confirmed that they had become aware of the complaint in May and that they have now been in touch with the relevant external authorities. They announced that a male member of staff had been suspended while the process is ongoing. They further promised to provide an update in the coming days.
The Agency has contacted the BBC for comment on the allegations. If anyone has any more information on this case, they are encouraged to contact The Agency’s entertainment team by email, phone, or through their website.
