The “well-known presenter” is accused of paying more than £35,000 (over $44,000) in exchange for sexually explicit photographs from the teenager, who was reportedly 17-years-old when the exchange allegedly occurred in 2020, according to The Sun. The teenager allegedly “used the cash to fund a crack habit.”

The family of the teenager complained to the BBC about the matter May 19, appealing to the corporation to make the broadcaster “stop sending the cash,” according to the news report. The family also reportedly “wanted no payment” from The Sun for the story.
