Several key members of the BBC have come forward to adamantly deny their involvement in a troubling sex scandal, including Nicky Campbell. The charges centre on an anonymous ‘household name presenter’ who is charged with giving a teen more than £35,000 in exchange for pornographic pictures.

The teen’s mother alleges that the money was utilised to support a crack cocaine addiction, resulting in a dramatic and sad shift over a relatively short amount of time from a happy youth to an addict who resembled a ghost. The mother contacted The Sun newspaper with her accusations after being unsatisfied with the BBC’s response to her complaint she filed seven weeks prior.
