The Sun says the person's parents turned to them after their complaints to the BBC failed to lead to the presenter being taken off air.
On Sunday it emerged the presenter had been suspended.
On Monday a lawyer for the young person disputed the parents' account but the parents responded by saying they stood by their allegations.
The Met said it was assessing the allegations but said there was currently no police investigation.
On Tuesday the BBC came out with an updated timeline, saying it twice tried, unsuccessfully, to contact the complainant.
It was only when the Sun story broke that the director general and executive directors were told about the case, the corporation says.
Later, BBC News quoted a young person as saying the same BBC presenter contacted them on a dating app, pressured them to meet up, and later sent threatening messages.
On Tuesday night the Sun published a new story claiming the presenter broke Covid rules to a meet a different young person they had met on a dating site. The BBC has not verified these claims.
