Huw Edwards anchored coverage of major national events before his public downfall as he admitted to making indecent images of children.
Huw Edwards' sinister double life has been laid bare after he admitted making indecent images of children.
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 court heard. When the pictures were exchanged, Edwards was one of the most recognisable faces on the BBC, reports the Mirror. He also announced the late Queen’s death on the BBC in September 2022. Edwards, and his colleagues, were awarded in June 2023 for the coverage of the Queen's state funeral, winning the best live event honour at the Tric Awards.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Huw Edwards, 62, of Southwark, London has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children following a Met Police investigation. The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat. Edwards was arrested on November 8 2023. He was charged on Wednesday, June 26 following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service.
Speaking in Edwards’ defence, his barrister Philip Evans KC said: “There’s no suggestion in this case that Mr Edwards has… in the traditional sense of the word, created any image of any sort. It is important also to remember for context that devices, Mr Edwards’ devices, have been seized, have been searched, and there’s nothing in those devices.
