So, nothing inappropriate or unlawful happened. So, something did happen?

Edit... I mean does this just mean he was 18 when money was exchanged for whatever they umm were doing. Or was the young one just given money for nothing.

What an utter bloody mess. If anything the latest development has made everyone more confused.

Well it’s too late for that. HE won’t be doing that again…if it is him.

A lot of people seem to have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 1000. In my humble opinion.

Unwise but not illegal strikes again. It's not his responsibility to stop people online going completely gaga, though.

Exactly this!

The wording of the lawyers statement is really interesting

"For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place between our client and the BBC personality...."

Giving money to an over 18 year old in return for pictures would not be unlawful, and you could argue is also not inappropriate.

If sexually explicit photos have been sent of a 17year old to someone it’s illegal, and they should be prosecuted.

Agreed, I’ve said from the start I feel the mother is in the wrong for going to the Sun. Regardless of semantics, she may have just pushed her child to utterly deny everything. I don’t care about ‘oh she was desperate’ etc. You do not go to the tabloids!! Go to the POLICE.

Moving too fast so may have been said but didn't the mystery presenter call the then teen demanding it was all called off?

Are you a parent? Putting this situation to one side, I would do whatever it took to prevent my child from dying, even if they were 20 or older. Sometimes as parents we make mistakes but most of us do what we think is for the best at the time. I would rather lose my child by them never speaking to me again than by dying of an overdose.

So:

Something may or may not have happened
Someone may or may not be a crack head
Someone's parents have complained to the Sun
The BBC are looking into it

RE statement from The Sun:
The mothers complaint was always about the child being sent money and then using it for drugs. Has it been shown to them that the child started doing this at 17?

I know the legal team and etc etc but I just have very little trust for The Sun
