Presenter 'should come forward' - former Sky editor
The latest revelations about the unnamed BBC presenter have been called "very significant" and "corroborative" by Prof Lis Howell, emeritus professor of journalism at London's City University.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast this morning, she says the presenter "really ought to come forward and talk about it", adding that it would be "cathartic", "informative" and would "probably be the right thing to do".
Howell, who is also a former managing editor for Sky News, says the public want to know what's going on and only when they understand what's happened can they decide how they feel about the presenter.
"If this goes on for a long time it's going to get worse and worse for everyone involved," she says.
Public interest defence in naming presenter is complicated - campaigner
Some thoughts now from Nathan Sparks who is the CEO of the campaign group Hacked Off - which was created in 2011 in response to the phone-hacking revelations and pushes for a free and accountable press for the public.
He tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme any public interest defence - should a news organisation want to name the presenter - is a "complicated judgement".
"I think it is important we stress this isn't just about the presenter," Nathan says. "It's also about the individual who the Sun are presenting here as the victim in this case who sold the images.
"When you name someone who is on the other end of this, you raise the risk of identifying the other person as well."
Nathan also points out the individual at the centre of the allegations has made denials via a lawyer there has been no wrongdoing or criminal activity.
