Amidst an escalating crisis for the British national broadcaster, new allegations have emerged against the unidentified BBC reporter at the center of the explicit images controversy.

The reporter is accused of engaging in a video chat with a minor while wearing only his underwear, according to tabloid publication The Sun.

These claims come after previous allegations that the celebrity offered the teenager tens of thousands of pounds in exchange for pornography pictures, with the exchanges beginning in 2020 when the individual was 17 years old.

Some people know which “top @BBC star” has been accused of paying a teenager more than £35,000 for sexually explicit photographs, beginning when they were 17.

Are the allegations true? We don’t yet know for sure.

The allegations are based on the claims made by the mother of the teenager, as reported by The Sun.

She allegedly provided a sworn declaration in support of her accusations and did not seek any compensation for sharing the information. No individuals mentioned in the story have been identified.

Up until now, the teenager, the accusing parent, and the person facing charges have all remained anonymous.

According to The Sun, the mother stated that she discovered an image of the BBC presenter in underwear on her child’s cellphone, while he was “leaning ahead, readying himself for my kid to perform for him”.
