DISGRACED former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards’s “long-earned reputation is in tatters,” a judge said today as he was sentenced for accessing indecent images of children.
The ex-journalist was spared jail after admitting three charges of “making” indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams over WhatsApp.
The 63-year-old was handed a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, during a hearing at Westminster magistrates’ court.
