Shamed Edwards pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children on Wednesday.
Huw Edwards has been branded 'disgusting' by BBC colleague Nicky Campbell after he urged people to think of the young victims.At Westminster Magistrates Court in London, he faced charges of seven Category A, the worst category, 12 Category B, and 22 Category C indecent images of children. The court heard that he was involved in an online chat with an adult man on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021, who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.
Posting on X, Nicky urged: "Let's think about the children in these images. Callously exploited and psychologically destroyed. They are not images. They are humans who will live with this forever and all for the twisted pleasure of the disgusting men who trade and swap this misery." The court heard how on February 2, 2021, the male asked whether what he was sending was too young, in response to which Mr Edwards told him not to send any underage images. The indecent images that were sent included seven Category A, the worst, 12 Category B, and 22 Category C.
