Guy Goma turned up at the corporation’s headquarters for a job interview in 2006 but had been mistaken for IT journalist Guy Kewney.
The broadcaster, 61, heard about the news from his brother after the ceremony in July 2022.
Fresh claims about the anonymous man emerged on Tuesday, following previous allegations over payments he had made for sexually explicit photos.
The young person at the heart of the controversy has said nothing inappropriate or unlawful happened and the allegations are “rubbish”.
The legal representative said the young person told The Sun that there was “no truth to it" before the newspaper published the story.
The BBC is expected to meet the Metropolitan Police on Monday about the allegations.
The corporation has been in touch with the police alongside conducting its own inquiries and talking to the young person’s family.
The corporation said it was made aware of a complaint in May but that new allegations of a ‘different nature’ were brought to them on Thursday.
The Sun reported that the unnamed BBC ‘star’ has been accused of paying a teenager over £35,000 in exchange for explicit images.
