Former BBC star Huw Edwards has arrived at court to face his child pornography charges. Edwards, 62, has been accused of three counts of making indecent images of children.
READ:Broadcaster Nicky Campbell has branded his ex-BBC colleague Huw Edwards 'disgusting' and urged people to consider the 'callously exploited and psychologically destroyed' child victims.
Campbell said he was even molested in front of his class by a history teacher at the £17,500-a-year Edinburgh Academy. In a separate tweet broadcaster Campbell wrote: 'And if mental health was mitigation for every custodial crime the prisons wouldn't be at bursting point. They'd be half full.' Edwards was only exposed as a paedophile after Welsh detectives investigating another sex offender uncovered the BBC star's number in a depraved WhatsApp chat, MailOnline revealed earlier today.
A Met spokesman said: 'The investigation into Huw Edwards began in November 2023 after information was received from South Wales Police. Seven of the pictures were category 'A' images of the very worst kind. This included two moving images of a young boy, possibly aged between seven and nine years old.
