Police said today that they are not currently looking into the BBC personality who allegedly gave £35,000 to a young vulnerable teenager for explicit pictures.

Rather than travelling to Broadcasting House in person, Scotland Yard detectives spoke with the corporation’s executives about the matter in an online discussion this morning.

Almost two months after the family of the claimed victim originally filed a complaint, the unnamed broadcaster was ultimately suspended by the BBC.

The unidentified star is accused of giving the alleged victim tens of thousands of pounds. The payments allegedly started when the adolescent was 17 and were later used to support a crack cocaine addiction.

The Metropolitan Police announced today that it is doing more investigations after a virtual conference, but added that there is currently no investigation while they “establish whether there is evidence of a criminal offence being committed.”

A spokesman said: ‘Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command met with representatives from the BBC. The meeting took place virtually.

‘They are assessing the information discussed at the meeting and further enquiries are taking place to establish whether there is evidence of a criminal offence being committed. There is no investigation at this time’.

Given that the BBC was originally informed of the charges in May, there has been some skepticism over the ‘well-known’ star’s continued appearances. ‘The BBC has started to receive calls from the public regarding the behavior of the person at the center of the probe,’ a BBC insider told The Sun after the story surfaced on Thursday night.

Popular figures including Gary Lineker, Jeremy Vine, and Rylan Clark felt obligated to publicly deny they were the star in question when social media fans incorrectly assumed they were. As critics urged the BBC to identify the individual at the center of the crisis, others were compelled to tweet statements adamantly stating that they were on vacation and not suspended.
