LONDON: The BBC was today facing questions after a high-profile presenter was accused by a newspaper of paying a teenager tens of thousands of pounds for “sexually explicit” photos.

The family of the teenager reportedly complained to the BBC on May 19, asking the corporation to stop the man “sending the cash”, but were upset to see that he subsequently remained on air.
