The BBC has asked Huw Edwards to return the salary he was paid during the period following his arrest in November last year, after his guilty plea to charges of having indecent images of children.
Shamed newsreader Huw Edwards tried to groom a teenage musician after seeing him perform in his school uniform and offered him a personal tour of the BBC, according to a new documentary.
Emyr has now blasted BBC bosses for allowing Edwards a free rein and not having further checks in place for visitors' safety. 'He said that the performance was good, that I was very talented and that he wanted to connect with me.' In those messages, the broadcaster - almost 40 years older than Emyr - would send kisses and hearts emojis in his messages, as well as calling him 'babe' and 'big boy'.
Huw Edwards leaving Westminster Magistrates' Court with his legal team following his sentencing , having received a suspended six-month sentence on September 16 Emyr said he didn't remember anyone at the BBC challenging him or Edwards on what he was doing in the newsroom. A BBC spokesperson said: 'We have been clear that we are appalled by Huw Edwards' crimes. He has betrayed not just the BBC, but audiences who put their trust in him.

However, the Sun reported later that the family said no one from the corporation phoned them for a proper interview after they complained.

The bombshell revelation came just moments after the police said they were 'taking no further action' in the case. He added that Edwards having 'walked from the BBC' will be viewed as 'quite a successful outcome' for the corporation.Interrupting coverage of Chancellor Rachel Reeves' statement in the House of Commons, the BBC announced the breaking news on July 29.
