The BBC have said they have suspended an unnamed male presenter after allegations he paid a teenager thousands of pounds for sexually explicit pictures. The mum claims the man in question first started interacting with their child when they were just 17 and allegedly funded the child's drug addiction.
The Beep told the Mirror they were investigating the allegations but have now announced the man has been taken off the air, reports the Mirror. The license-payer-funded corporation said: "The BBC takes any allegations seriously and we have robust internal processes in place to proactively deal with such allegations.
"This is a complex and fast-moving set of circumstances and the BBC is working as quickly as possible to establish the facts in order to properly inform appropriate next steps. It is important that these matters are handled fairly and with care.
