My suggestion would be to pay the bill and disable the mms option on his phone so no others can be sent.
You can also ask customer service to apply a spend cap on the account to stop any additional charges in future.

@ehson Take a look here: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/How-to-Guides/Accidental-MMS-Sending-and-How-to-Avoid-it/ba-p/1014132
As well as the link to customer service provided by @gmarkj There's this alternative if you want to discuss your issue with customer service. Below is the advice from an O2 Guru on how to get through.
Call 202 from your mobile.
When it comes to the reason you are calling, stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else
Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
