The BBC is meeting the Metropolitan Police today amid claims that an unnamed presenter paid a teenager tens of thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images.
The corporation confirmed a male member of staff has been suspended, and it was reported that the presenter at the centre of the allegations made “panicked” calls to the young person last week.
A newspaper claimed the presenter allegedly asked “What have you done?”, adding that he allegedly asked them to ring their mother to get her to “stop the investigation”.
According to BBC News, the corporation will meet the Metropolitan Police later “to discuss the matter”.
