The BBC has now suspended the presenter, launched an internal investigation, and informed a specialist police unit that deals with high-profile individuals. However, the presenter remained on air until the Sun approached the BBC for comment on its story almost two months later.īBC sources suggested the initial allegations were not as strong as the allegations made by the Sun, which triggered a full-blown investigation. The BBC has confirmed the mother’s claim that an initial complaint was made in mid-May and it began investigating. “Taking my child’s innocence and handing over the money for crack cocaine that could kill my child.” When did the BBC learn of the allegations? “I blame this BBC man for destroying my child’s life,” she said. The mother said the BBC star requested “performances” from her child, who would “get their bits out” for him before spending the funds on drugs. The money had been in exchange for sexually explicit photographs of my child.” She told the newspaper her child, now 20, had shown her an online bank statement that had multiple deposits from the BBC presenter: “There were huge sums, hundreds, or thousands of pounds at a time. Their interactions allegedly began when the young person was 17 years old, meaning the BBC star may have been commissioning child sexual abuse images, a serious criminal offence.Įverything that has been made public so far relies on reporting by the Sun, which anonymously quoted the mother of the young person.
