A BBC presenter has been accused of paying a teenager for sexually explicit photographs, beginning when they were 17, according to The Sun.
The newspaper reported that the unnamed male presenter had paid the alleged victim tens of thousands of pounds.
Which presnter hasn't been around for the last few weeks?

I'm guessing the assumption is that the victim is female?
I bet Twitter is exploding with libellous threads.

Yeah, it was speculation on twitter apparently that prompted Rylan Clarke to put a statement out saying it wasn’t him. Most of the speculation I’ve seen on social media (and it’s been hard to avoid, tbh) thinks the young person involved is a guy. Impossible to know if that’s right or not, ofc.

Why ‘victim’? Just curious as opposed to triggered.

Because the oppressor works for the BBC, as opposed to being a former, or current Tory MP obviously !

SN a Nordie BBC presenter is doing the round but no idea who that is and doesn't fit the high profile picture.

Hmm, let's see.

A drug addicted child's mother finds money going into the kids account from an unidentified source. The drug addicted child says it's from a celebrity paying them for sex work. The mother goes to the press instead of the police.

Very strong possibility the entire thing is bullshit.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

It has been widely reported and I think The Sun have seen the bank details and the pic the pervert sent to the child in their underwear.
They will have to tread carefully after Philip Scoffield tbh.

I had a quick glance at twitter and it seems the only people who think it is Jeremy Vine are total cunts (same for the ones who think it is Gary Lineker).

Oh, The Sun says they've seen bank details? That makes all the difference if its The Sun. They're trustworthy, the journalist on The Sun, obviously. Not hypocrites or anything who'll print any old guff. They wouldn't do that at The Sun.

It's not like they paid for nude pics of a 16 year old and print them on page 3. And they didn't have a countdown clock for when Charlotte Church and Billie Piper turned sixteen so they'd be legal.

That's fine, I really believe The Sun.

Could be bullshit but the BBC was at least till recently full of nonces, and it does have a history of protecting them so chances are pretty good this story has some substance to it, imo.

He's the front runner atm for me. Off air all this week.
Also reports that he has transferred a sizeable amount of his shares in his own production company to a local bookies in NI, so he might be on a massive downward spiral if it is him . . . .

Really? Well whoever it is has been suspended now by the BBC
“The BBC takes any allegations seriously and we have robust internal processes in place to proactively deal with such allegations.

“This is a complex and fast moving set of circumstances and the BBC is working as quickly as possible to establish the facts in order to properly inform appropriate next steps.

“It is important that these matters are handled fairly and with care.

“We have been clear that if - at any point - new information comes to light or is provided to us, this will be acted upon appropriately and actively followed up.

“The BBC first became aware of a complaint in May. New allegations were put to us on Thursday of a different nature and in addition to our own enquiries we have also been in touch with external authorities, in line with our protocols.

“We can also confirm a male member of staff has been suspended.

“We expect to be in a position to provide a further update in the coming days as the process continues. The BBC Board will continue to be kept up to date.”

Does a very popular daily radio show in NI, along with Question Time type TV show each week. Think he also works for 5 Live in the evenings as well.

He's a bit of a gobshite that will take the extreme populist view on everything just to stir contraversy. He's popular in NI because he is always sticking it up to our useless politicians.

It's clearly the Nordie who is the alleged person.
His radio show is being hosted by another person now...

Seriously idiotic.
Public figures have to be incredibly careful in this day and age, even with someone that is of age, so you'd think they would be smart enough to steer clear of bother. So to do it so obviously and to someone not of age stinks of being fucked in the head.

Technically they were of age, I believe?

So it's a damaging story rather than a crime as far as I can see?

It’s an offence to possess indecent images of someone under the age of eighteen in the UK (and the law specifies that people under eighteen age can’t consent to images being taken). The original story said the first images were sent when the person was seventeen, so….

It’s covered by the children’s protection act.

Did Brian Moore get accused of it?

He wrote a very annoyed response on twitter.

Will have to dig it out.
