The paper has since changed the language about its original claim, stating that contact between the presenter and the youngster began when they were 17 – however it is not claimed that payment for the photos began when they were 17. It can be a criminal offence to exchange explicit images if a person is under 18.The Sun, which says it has sworn affidavits from the young person’s mother and stepfather, as well as evidence to back up its story, hit back with further claims.
Another source said: “This wasn’t about an allegation of criminality.
