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.
The man who sent obscene illegal photographs to disgraced BBC star Huw Edwards also sent 'evil' images to four others, it has been revealed.Among the sickening trove of abusive pictures shared by the sex offender were two showing a boy as young as seven.
Huw Edwards was snared by chance by police in Wales who were investigating Williams and stumbled on his messages to the now-disgraced newsreader She and Williams' father said they had not seen Williams for three or four months - although neighbours said they spotted him in the street within the last few weeks.
The news came as a BBC insider claimed Edwards had messaged 'lads in the newsroom for drinks' for years. The BBC admitted it knew Edwards had been arrested on 'suspicion of serious offences' last November, but kept paying his £479,000-a-year salary until he resigned in April. Meanwhile, both the Crown Prosecution Service and Scotland Yard faced secrecy allegations over the handling of Edwards's arrest and charge.
Tim Davie said that changing the culture at the broadcaster would be a 'critical priority' - as he admitted 'we have all felt let down'. Mr Davie wrote: 'Aside from the challenges of delivering such brilliant output, I want to acknowledge that this has been a demanding period for the BBC and everyone who works within it.
