Johnny Nelson, 22, has also been charged with driving while disqualified after allegedly being filmed selling the drug from his Smart car in Hornchurch, Essex.
Nelson, whose mum is a Police Community Support Officer, has been bailed to appear in court in the New Year.
Jesy, 20, and her X Factor-winning bandmates Perrie Edwards, 18, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 19, and Jade Thirlwall, 18, are proud of their squeaky-clean image.
However, The Sun newspaper claims to have 'exposed' brother Johnny’s trade after being given a mobile number, described as a 24-hour 'drugs hotline'.
The reporter apparently paid £80 for 'two, inch-long rectangular wraps,' folded using lottery tickets.
There is no suggestion Jesy, of nearby Romford, or any of her family are aware or are in any way involved.
Her businessman dad John Nelson, 46, was jailed after an amateur boxer was stabbed to death outside a club 26 years ago.
He was dubbed the Disco Killer when he was convicted of murder, but was cleared on appeal and served a shorter sentence for affray. Jesy’s mum Janis, 51, split from John years ago.
A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed: 'Jonathon Nelson, 22, of Hornchurch, will appear on bail at Redbridge Magistrates’ Court on January 5, 2012, charged with supplying a Class A controlled drug and driving whilst disqualified.'
A police source said: 'We received an allegation from a national newspaper of drug dealing on December 16th.
'Arrangements were made to speak with the newspaper and to collect any potential evidence that it held.'
