The broadcaster appeared in court today where he pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed the man who shared indecent images of children with Huw Edwards was a convicted paedophile. The force said Alex Williams, 25, pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing category A, B and C images as well as possessing prohibited images of children. He was sentenced to a suspended 12-month jail sentence at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on March 15.
The indecent images that were sent included seven Category A, the worst, 12 Category B, and 22 Category C. Of the category A images, the estimated age of most of the children was between 13 and 15, but one was aged between seven and nine, the court was told. The final indecent image was sent in August 2021, a category A film featuring a young boy. The man told Edwards that the boy was quite young-looking and that he had more images which were illegal.
