The BBC, Britain’s public broadcaster, suspended a male employees member on Sunday after a report in The Solar newspaper that an unnamed male presenter had paid tens of hundreds of kilos to an individual beginning after they have been 17 years previous in change for “sexually specific images.”
The Solar didn’t determine the presenter, and the BBC didn’t determine the employees member who was suspended.
In a press release saying the suspension, the BBC mentioned that the corporate “grew to become conscious of a criticism in Could,” and “new allegations have been put to us on Thursday of a unique nature.”
“The BBC takes any allegations severely, and we’ve got strong inner processes in place to proactively cope with such allegations,” the corporate mentioned, including, “It is a complicated and fast paced set of circumstances, and the BBC is working as shortly as potential to determine the details as a way to correctly inform acceptable subsequent steps.”
The BBC mentioned it anticipated to offer updates “within the coming days” and that the BBC board could be stored updated.
