Huw Edwards admits to accessing indecent indecent images of children

THE BBC’s former highest-paid newsreader Huw Edwards admitted today to accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.

He was leading the corporation’s coverage of the late Queen’s platinum jubilee, her death and her funeral, as well as the coronation of King Charles when he committed the crimes.

Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that an unnamed man he met online sent him 377 sexual images on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021.
