Police ‘assessing information’ after BBC sex photos meeting

British police said on Monday they were assessing information provided by the BBC about allegations that a TV presenter paid a teenager to pose for explicit photos, but there was no investigation into a crime at this stage.

The broadcaster suspended a male member of staff on Sunday following the claims published by the Sun about the presenter.

The star, who has not been identified publicly by the newspaper, the BBC or the police, is alleged to have paid the teenager £35,000 ($44,828) over three years beginning when the teenager was aged 17.
