A lawyer representing the young person at the centre of the allegations made against a BBC presenter has disputed their mother's claims.
The unnamed presenter has been accused of paying more than £35,000 to a teenager - now 20 years old - in exchange for sexually explicit images, according to the young person's mother.
The mother of the alleged recipient claims her child used the money to fund an addiction to crack cocaine and says she blames the presenter for "destroying her child's life". She also claims to have first contacted the BBC regarding the allegations on May 19.
