The BBC is facing fresh allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Edwards towards more junior staff

Earlier, detectives from the Met Police ended their assessment into the original allegations and determined there was no evidence of a criminal offence
The BBC says it is now resuming its investigation "whilst continuing to be mindful of our duty of care to all involved”
On Friday, the Sun first reported that a BBC presenter had paid a young person for explicit photos beginning when they were 17. More allegations followed
Image source, .Police are "assessing" information from the BBC about allegations against a presenter, but said yesterday there was "no investigation at this time".
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said detectives held a virtual meeting with BBC representatives on Monday.
The Met is now making further enquiries "to establish whether there is evidence of a criminal offence being committed".
The former editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, has said the original story presented in The Sun was "clearly one in which there was public interest" and that the BBC had questions to answer.
But as the story has developed, it had become "much more muddled", he told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight programme.
"It's curious that the child themselves wasn't approached, or if it's true that they contacted The Sun, that their version of events wasn't included," Rusbridger added.
He said he felt "uneasy" that a story "so personally damaging, so career ending to whoever this figure is at the centre of it" should have been based on something which "on the face of it seems much more complicated than it was originally presented".
The Sun newspaper first reported on Friday that an unnamed BBC presenter had allegedly paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos.
However, a lawyer representing the young person yesterday disputed the parents' account of events, calling the claims "rubbish" and saying "nothing inappropriate or unlawful has taken place".
The lawyer said the young person had sent a denial to the Sun about the allegations made by their mother before the newspaper published the story on Friday.
The Sun followed up by saying it has seen evidence to back the mother's claims and stating the parents' complaint "was not acted upon by the BBC".
The young person's lawyer also said press reporting amounted to an invasion of privacy, and criticised both the Sun and the BBC for not contacting their client.
With stories like this one, BBC News journalists treat the BBC in the same way as any other organisation the news service reports on.
And like with any other organisation, BBC News has to ask BBC management or BBC services for responses and contact the BBC press office for official statements.
Occasionally BBC journalists approach senior managers for unplanned interviews - known as "doorsteps" in the news business.
They sometimes also get offered interviews with management - like this one with Mr Davie over the Gary Lineker row.
Image source, PA MediaBBC director-general Tim Davie is likely to face questions about the BBC presenter claims in a scheduled media appearance today.
The suspension of the unnamed presenter is likely to dominate the briefing on the BBC's annual performance.
The BBC is also due to publish its annual report today, which was in the diary before these allegations became public.
What's next in BBC presenter claims?
The BBC still has many questions to answer after lawyers representing the young person at the centre of the allegations disputed the mother’s account.
David Sillito, the BBC's Media and Arts Correspondent, explains what we know - and what we don't.
To get a sense of how this situation has unfolded, here's an updated timeline of the key events so far:
Tuesday's front pages are dominated by questions over the validity of the allegations surrounding the unnamed BBC presenter.
The i and the Mirror among the newspapers leading with stories on the remarks from the young person’s lawyer, who says the claims made in the Sun’s story by the young person’s mother are "totally wrong".
The Sun - which broke the story last week - quotes the family as saying that they only spoke out to help save their "vulnerable, addict child".
The Times reports that the story took a "new twist" after the lawyer acting for the young person said "nothing unlawful" had taken place.
