The Sun publishes its first report on Friday 7 July, carrying a mother's claims that an unnamed BBC presenter paid thousands to their 20-year-old child for explicit images over three years, starting when they were 17 - a potential criminal offence

On Monday: BBC executives meet with the Metropolitan Police, which starts work to assess evidence, and the 20-year-old mentioned in the first Sun story denies the claims through lawyers

On Wednesday: police confirm they assessed no evidence of criminal activity after speaking to people involved in the initial allegations, and the paused BBC investigation resumes at the same time, Flind issues her statement confirming Edwards was the presenter involved and that he had been hospitalised after a serious mental health episode.

Yes, and he was the newsreader who announced the death of the late Queen last September.
His problem is being Welsh, not Paki. Muslim groomers have nothing to fear for the same thing.
