If it can be proven the BBC presenter requested and received the photographs from a minor, then he has broken the law.

100% if this can be proven he’d be bang to rights.
I’m just sceptical of the police reaching the threshold to pursue seizing equipment for digital/banking forensics if the alleged victim is uncooperative. Plus having to prove that the accused knew, or had reasonable grounds to believe, the victim was 17.
Hypothetically a 17 year old with a drug habit pretends to be 18. Makes some cash out a dirty old man. Nobody goes down for that.
