The allegations against the BBC profile

BBC profile suspected of paying teenager for nude photos  

 

A well-known presenter in the British public service company BBC is suspected of having paid a teenager half a million kroner for nude pictures, the BBC reports. 

 

In 2020, the man allegedly started requesting photos from the teenager, who was then 17 years old.  

 

He is said to have made a series of payments since then. No one involved has been named but according to The Sun, the presenter has not been suspended by the BBC and is believed to still be getting paid.
