It’s beyond unacceptable Huw Edwards won’t spend a single day in prison for depraved crime
in the last few days, the listing boasts how it's "on one of London's most desirable residential roads".The advert reads: "The property has been tastefully renovated and extended by the current owners and with a gross internal area of 4239 sq ft offers extensive living accommodation arranged over three floors.
It comes after more than a year of headlines about the veteran broadcaster, who was the corporation's highest-paid newsreader, which started when he was named as the presenter at the centre of a scandal over payments to a young person for sexually explicit images.The family of the person, who was 17 when Edwards allegedly started payments back in 2020, complains to the BBC and becomes frustrated when the presenter stays on air.
A lawyer representing the young person at the centre of the controversy says the claims in the "inappropriate article" are "rubbish".BBC director-general Tim Davie faces the media for a scheduled briefing following the release of the corporation's annual report and says he has asked Leigh Tavaziva, the BBC Group's chief operating officer, to assess whether its protocols and procedures are appropriate in light of this case.
BBC Newsnight reports new claims from one current and one former BBC worker, who said they had received "inappropriate messages" from Edwards, "some late at night and signed off with kisses".The Lords Communications Committee announces that Mr Davie will be questioned in Parliament about the corporation's leadership following the furore.
The BBC says it knew of Edwards' arrest over accessing indecent images of children in November but continued employing him until April.
