He is the broadcaster's highest paid news presenter, earning in the 435,000 to 439,999 pounds band (about $565,000).

had paid a young person 35,000 pounds ($45,000) for explicit photos

Good for him for directly supporting independent creators, and redistributing his exorbitant wealth

"BBC presenter had paid a young person 35,000 pounds ($45,000) for explicit photos over three years, beginning when the person was 17. The age of consent for sex in England is 16, but images of someone under 18 can be considered child pornography. "

The brits have to get clarity on what "adult" is. This is the gray area.
