A BBC expert is caught in a sex scandal. What is he accused of?
A woman who organized events during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has come forward with allegations of inappropriate behavior by Jermaine Jenas, who was working as a BBC pundit at the time.
Details: According to the Daily Mail, Jenas allegedly encouraged the woman to take photos in a bikini and later sent her an explicit image of himself with the caption, "Do you want my boy?" He is also said to have sent sexually suggestive messages via WhatsApp, such as, "I want to see you now" and "You know what it’s like when you're not with me."
Quote: The unnamed woman recounted her experience of harassment by Jenas:
"My job involved promoting events, so I gave out my number.
The next day, Jenas showed up at dinner and stayed for the after-party. He started texting me that evening."
Reminder: Jenas allegedly continued sending inappropriate messages, attempting to pressure her into indecent acts. Last month, he admitted to sending "unacceptable text messages" to two BBC colleagues, which led to his dismissal from his roles as a presenter on Match Of The Day and The One Show.

It is worth noting that Jenas is a married man and has children. After his behavior became known he said:
"I'm ashamed. I feel like I've let everyone down."
