Speaking through a lawyer in a letter to the broadcaster, the alleged victim denied accusations by their mum that they had received £35,000 for the explicit pictures from the BBC presenter
The BBC presenter scandal has tonight taken another twist when the youngster alleged to have been paid for sexual images by the star claimed they made it clear there was nothing in the story before it broke.
Speaking through a lawyer in a letter to the broadcaster, the alleged victim denied accusations by their mum that they had received £35,000 for the explicit pictures. And it is said they sent the Sun newspaper a WhatsApp message on Friday evening before it published the story to insist there was “no truth to it”.
But it is claimed that was ignored. The mum had alleged the youngster started being paid for the sexual images when they were 17, which is illegal, and were funding an addiction to crack cocaine over three years.
But the lawyer for the youngster, now 20, told the BBC tonight: “For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality and the allegations reported in the Sun newspaper are rubbish.”
