London’s Metropolitan Police are assessing whether there was evidence that a BBC presenter accused of sexual misconduct has committed a criminal offense
The UK broadcaster suspended “a male member of staff” at the weekend after The Sun newspaper reported Friday that a woman had accused an unnamed BBC presenter of paying her teenage child for sexually explicit photographs. The Sun had reported that the alleged recipient’s mother said they had used the money received in exchange for photos to fund an addiction to crack cocaine. “I blame this BBC man for destroying my child’s life,” the recipient’s mother was quoted as saying.
London’s Metropolitan Police said earlier Monday it was assessing whether there was evidence that the accused BBC presenter has committed a criminal offense. The Met said in a statement that detectives from its Specialist Crime Command met virtually with representatives from the BBC on Monday morning.
