BELOW are the eight questions we put to the BBC yesterday about their top star who was taken off air for ‘paying for sex pictures of a teen’.

The Beeb did not answer each one but instead referred us back to a general statement issued on Friday, including that it treats “any allegations very seriously”.

The BBC refused to answer eight questions about their top star who was taken off air for ‘paying for sex pictures of teen’[/caption]

1. WHAT did you do when the first complaint about the BBC star was received?
2. HOW many attempts were made to contact the family about their complaint?
3. DO you consider this a satisfactory response given their concerns that a child’s life was in danger?
4. WAS the presenter spoken to after the initial complaint? — and if not, why not?
5. WHEN was the first time the presenter was spoken to about the matter?
6. WILL you take steps to establish if payments to the child continued after the family’s first point of contact with the BBC?
7. ARE you investigating whether the presenter was calling the child from work/during working hours?
8. IS the licence-payer paying for or contributing to the presenter’s mobile costs?
