Summary
The unnamed presenter was suspended over the weekend, but the teenager's mother claims the corporation was first made aware of allegations in May.

On the Sky News Daily, Kimberley Leonard is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and former BBC presenter Roger Bolton to explore what we know, and don't know, so far about the latest scandal to hit the BBC.
