By Jasmine AnderssonBBC director-general Tim Davie is set to face questions about the BBC presenter row in a scheduled media appearance on Tuesday.
A new interview given by the mother and step-father to the Sun conflicts with the parents' previous account of how their complaint was handled.as saying allegations were put to the BBC "for an hour", but in a report on Monday, it was stated: "The family say no-one from the corporation rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint."
"Nobody from the Sun newspaper appears to have made any attempt to contact our client prior to the publication of the allegations on Friday 6 July," the lawyer writes.In response, the Sun said: "We have reported a story about two very concerned parents who made a complaint to the BBC about the behaviour of a presenter and the welfare of their child.
Mr Davie said in an email to BBC staff on Sunday that the corporation took the claims about its presenter "incredibly seriously".Current events are expected to dominate the BBC's annual performance update by director general Tim Davie If the presenter obtained sexually explicit images of the young person when they were under 18 years old, that is a matter for investigation as a possible criminal offence.
