What we know:

Well loved

Has been suspended

Is paid £35,000

Male

Surely we can figure it out?

EDIT:

The allegations, first reported by the Sun on Friday, are that the BBC presenter paid £35,000 for explicit photos over a three-year period, starting when the teenager was 17

Sorry, misunderstood this part. Maybe we cannot figure it out

    What can the BBC reasonably do though?

    It sounds like (from the BBC press release) that they made contact with the family involved but received no reply. So it would seem that no evidence has been passed to the BBC.

    Without any evidence naming the presenter would likely be devistating to their career, rightly so if actually guilty. But if innocent their career will forever be dogged by the false accusations.
