BBC calls in police over presenter accused of paying teenager for explicit images

Corporation says ‘male member of staff’ being taken off air pending outcome of ‘complex and fast-moving’ inquiry

Police have been called in by the BBC to investigate a sex scandal allegedly involving one of its star presenters.

A team from the corporation will meet detectives on Monday to assist with its investigation into the presenter, who was suspended on Sunday.

It follows allegations that the male presenter paid £35,000 to a teenager in return for explicit images. The presenter cannot be identified for legal reasons.

In a statement, the BBC said on Sunday that the “male member of staff” was being taken off air pending the outcome of a “complex and fast-moving” inquiry.
