A 'well-known' BBC presenter has been taken off air after allegedly paying a teenager more than £35,000 in exchange for sexually explicit photographs, it has been reported. The teenager was allegedly 17 years old when the payments first began and their family filed a complaint to the BBC on May 19, according to The Sun. Neither the individual or the teenager was identified. In response to The Sun's report, the corporation said the information would be 'acted upon appropriately'. The male presenter is currently not scheduled to appear on air in the coming days, according to the BBC.
