BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has today admitted making indecent images of children.
The 62-year-old sexual deviant appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier, where he admitted three charges of making indecent images of children.
According to the charges, now admitted by the former BBC News at Ten anchor, between December 2020 and April 2022 he made 7 category A images (involving penetrative sexual activity); 12 category B images (involving non-penetrative sexual activity); and 22 category C images (involving sexualised poses).
These child abuse images, which depict young boys, were sent to Edwards during a WhatsApp conversation. In terms of the legislation, they are technically "made" when they are viewed electronically. Edwards is not accused of being the person with the camera who took the offending snaps.
These are very serious allegations that could result in Edwards being jailed.
The case has been adjourned until 16th September, whilst the court considers its sentencing options.
Edwards was paid £475,000 by the BBC last year, despite being suspended in July 2023 amid rumours he'd shared dick pics with a vulnerable young adult.
He finally resigned from the national broadcaster in April 2024.
It is worth noting that at the time of these latest offences, as he was no doubt whacking one off over his mobile phone, he was still fronting the BBC News at Ten.
