Force says it cannot yet launch investigation over whether a presenter paid teenager for sexually explicit photographs
The newspaper said the family complained to the BBC over the presenter’s behaviour in May, but that he remained on air until the mother provided details to the Sun last week. The presenter was suspended only on Sunday, leading MPs to question why it took so long for the BBC to act.
The broadcaster has come under attack over how much it knew about the allegations after the complaint in May, with MPs demanding an investigation into how the BBC dealt with one of its most serious scandals in the last decade. The cross-party committee is likely to hold a one-off session before parliament breaks for the summer recess in less than a fortnight.
The presenter has not been named in the media over privacy concerns despite widespread speculation that has forced some BBC stars to deny their involvement.
