Tim Davie, director of BBC, to face questioning over major controversy
The family of the victim claim that the presenter met the child when they were 17 years old
The BBC and Tim Davie are being questioned about their knowledge of the case where a major presenter paid a teenager with addiction money to receive sexual pictures. The family of the victim claim that the presenter met the child when they were 17 years old.
The teenager, who is now 20 years old, spoke up about the case through a lawyer and claimed that nothing illegal happened between them and the unnamed presenter while their family questioned how they could afford a lawyer.
However, the family is insisting that they have bank receipts as well as screenshots to support their claims. In the House of Commons, MPs are threatening to reveal the identity of the big-shot presenter.
The mother of the teenager stated: “It is sad but we stand by our account and we hope they get the help they need. We did this to help - and the presenter has got into their head. How did they afford a lawyer? We are so sad,” while their stepfather added: “Without the money, my partner's child would have no drugs.”
Tim Davie will be facing serious questions about how deeply the BBC's big bosses were involved in the case and how is it that they had no knowledge of what was being done by the presenter. He will also be asked to answer why the presenter was suspended two months after the initial complaint was made by the victim’s mother.
